3:04 am
portion of the summit talking with african leaders about how to further develop their economies and use the resources of the g-7 to try to promote economic development in africa. two headlines coming out of the summit so far. the president is thinking of increasing sanctions on russia if vladimir putin doesn't fully implement a cease-fire in ukraine and second big headline is that the president's thinking on climate change and paris climate accord is quote evolving according to aides closest to him. he has had a chance to listen to g-7 leaders. he has come to a broader and fuller understanding of their position and why they want to leave the paris agreement in place and why they think the united states should remain a party of it. here is the chief economic advisory gary cohn off camera yesterday. >> his views are evolving. he came here to learn and get smarter and learn world leaders' views some of which have been involved with the
3:05 am
paris agreement for many, many years. >> the president is weighing the decision on whether or not the united states should withdraw from the paris accord and there is a real split in the administration. the epa administrator scott prosecute, chief bannon chief strategist think it's better if he leaves. this jared kushner thinks it's better stay in. he will be arriving back to a firestorm of controversy, including these latest revelations that his son-in-law jared kushner was allegedly trying to secure some back channel communications between the transition and russia. so, a lot for the president to digest upon his return to the united states. abby, clayton, pete? abby: all right, john roberts live for us. enjoy that last bit of italian. clayton: we will talk about the kushner stuff. that's what everybody is talking about. think about the big trip first time president on world stage by all accounts pretty

successful trip. pete: very successful trip and being lauded on both sides of the aisle. he goes to saudi arabia. we did that live on this show the greeting he got there western wall very powerful imagery. all a new shift towards standing up to iran, which is a problem from the last eight years. brussels. pete: summit. pete: nato, pay your bills. clayton: if you have read all the itinerary for the summit was climate change. climate change. we want to have all these leaders talking climate change. and the president turned the conversation to islamist terrorism and saying, look, we are here together. we have an opportunity as this community as allies to fight islamist terrorism. and, yes, we will get to climate change. that doesn't need to be the number one thing on agenda. abby: think about how much they accomplished on this trip. we were here last weekend from saudi arabia going to israel and then to rome. and then these big meetings. we have secretary rumsfeld on the show and i have heard him talk and he said, look, i was
3:07 am
ambassador to nato back in the 1970s, he said i gave the exact same message about our allies needing to step up, and i asked him, i said did you get secured by the media for doing that? he said no, because it was the right message to send then and right message to send now. i have got to tell you if i see one more headline whether president obama was holding melania's hand i'm going to freak. there has been so much policy and diplomacy as part of this trip and the headlines i have read so many of them have been ridiculous. sorry, i can't. clayton: 6:00 a.m. on a saturday that's what you get with abby. 6:00 a.m. on a saturday the president of the united states is awake and tweeting at this hour and had this to say. he said the big g-7 meetings today, lots of very important matters under discussion. first on the list, of course, is terrorism. g-7 taormina. pete: another tweet after that many countries have agreed to step up payments considerably as they should. money is beginning to pour in. nato will be much stronger.
3:08 am
this is the guy who wanted to dismantle nato. he will make it relevant again. alliance that was adrift. now, if you have focus on radical islamic terrorism at home and abroad that's what nato does, what a transition. abby: as i said, you would think that all the headlines on this trip would be about all of these issues that we have been talking about, mainly terrorism. they have not been. now as he heads home and we talk about how does he keep that momentum going when he gets back to the united states. there is already a new quote unquote bombshell out from "the washington post. they are totally trying to move on from trip narrative and focus on more controversy with russian collusion. here we go again. pete: last night at 7:00 p.m. an article came out in the "the washington post" this is the headline from that article. russian ambassador told moscow that jared kushner wanted secret channel with the kremlin. pete: what is this article saying? now the "new york times" is breaking it down obreaking it d. they have other information that jared kushner prior to the inauguration was meeting
3:09 am
with the russian ambassador to try to set up a back channel of communication with the kremlin, with vladimir putin's administration somehow. using -- this is the interesting part of the story, using diplomatic facilities in the united states that might be away from communications monitoring. the idea that they would sit and be able to talk and have these communications in buildings outside of the white house, outside of the american administration and government. abby: the reason would be so they can't be intercepted. private. pete: private communications with the russian government. pete: there was leaks about monitoring. this was december. this is after the election. this is not about collusion. it's about conversations. to be clear a couple of tear outs of quotes from this "the washington post" story that gist good context -- of course, they are always buried deep down in the article. one it's common for newly elected president to be in contact with newly eelected officials. cautious with interactions
3:10 am
with moscow. there is no wrongdoing here. jared kushner is not the focus of the investigation. it is common. abby: you wonder as you mentioned clayton about the timing. why we are just hearing about it today. another party of that piece. the post was first alerted in mid december about the meeting among other things that kushner had talked to him. we are hearing it 7 p.m. as the president is headed home from this trip. something wrong about 5:00 p.m., 6 p.m. leaks that go out for the weekend. clayton: on the collusion question, this is the separate issue about setting up back channel. collusion question still at the heart of all of this scandal, righting? why if they were colluding they would set up a channel in december, after the election, months ahead of time was the election. so bret baier raises an interesting question. abby: the timing of all of that. pete: the other question is why should we believe it because russia, as "the
3:11 am
washington post story says as well makes their own fake news. russia at times feeds false information into communication streams. it suspects are monitored as a way of sowing miscommunication among analysts. we don't know who leaked this but russian ambassador has been involved. why do we believe the russians? pete: the heart of this is trump tower. michael flynn was at this meeting at trump tower with jared kushner and kis kyslak. the trump administration may have learned about this in december that they were intercepting communications coming out with the russians. abby: we will see where all of this goes. but meanwhile hillary clinton is back in action. she spoke at commencement speech. took some shots. take a listen. >> i couldn't think of any place i would rather be this year than right here. there is a full-fledged
3:12 am
assault on truth and reason. some are even denying things we see with our own eyes. like the size of crowds. when people in power invent their own facts, and attack those who question them, it can mark the beginning of the end of a free society. abby: that was yesterday at wellesley. that's where she went to school as well. so, when she got political, that was really very early on in that speech. she went right there. pete: that's where her mind is at. they still haven't gotten over the election. you see it in that speech and also see it in articles that came out over the weekend vanity fair it was sexism, it was this. it was that it was everything but i was a bad candidate. pete: al candidate.pete. clayton: all about james comey. all about the media. all about these other things except being able to connect with voters. it's pretty remarkable in that self-reflection period.
3:13 am
she had discussions about impeachment and obstruction of justice. pete: perfect for commencement address. clayton: she has a little history on the facts. take a listen. >> we were serious about the past presidential election. [laughter] >> of a hand whose presidency would eventually end in disgrace with his impeachment for obstruction of justice. [cheers] abby: a loot of cheers. the problem was he wasn't impeached. he resigned before he impeached. pete: she was talking about president nixon. he resigned. not impeached. it was her husband who was impeached. abby: that's exactly the message you want to hear when you are going out to the real world. clayton: great, i'm going to get a job. let us know what you think about that. successful foreign trip how does the president keep the momentum when he comes home facing all of these problems back home? a former speech right writer

saudi arabia he showed incredible discipline on messaging. mind you p and qs and tweets. he has also god to bring clarity to his decision-making process. and i think the thing that's been part of the problem inside the west wing he has to have nonnegotiable issues for the base and nonnegotiable issues for the family members and democrats and say listen neither shall the two meet. he also has to go and say listen, we need to flip the narrative. we need to go on the offense. again, as i suggested last week he can flip the narrative on this. the white house counsel can recommend to doj that they reopen the hillary clinton investigation. investigate susan rice and ben rhodes. also they need to be more creative. when the word collusion comes up, he can just say you know what the only collusion i'm seeing is collusion between the media and deep state and flip the comey narrative as well. he does have to make some white house staff changes. i think he needs a new press secretary. the last thing i would advise him, abby, is.

3:27 am
>> hi, clayton, good morning there are two ways to pay. there is blood and treasure. and certainly the president is right in calling for our nato partners to pay more. they have committed to do so by 2024. and that's an important point that every administration calls for. they have also paid in blood more than 1,000 nato troops, not americans, americans as well but in addition to a thousand have died in afghanistan and those nato troops died as a result of coming to america's defense after 9/11. we have to respect that and we have to recognize it. the way to get these countries to pay more is not to criticize them in public at the leadership level but to go to their publics and say you need to get your leaders to pay more. these are democracies and we have to remember that if their public doesn't support it, it's not going to work. i don't think that message made that convincing argument. clayton: carl, what about that point money is one thing blood is another? >> we lost 4,000. we are not fighting for ourselves. we are fighting globally here.

you called them out publicly. darn right he called them out publicly because you know what? we have been asking them in diplomatic channels for years now and they haven't done it i'm glad he should be on the public stage calling them out the world can see this is what trump campaigned on. clayton: carl thought he was strong calling out the world leaders. >> strong and correct. clayton: joel, do you buy he was able to convince them to pay more. >> if the goal is to convince them to pay more. this isn't going to do anything more to advance that it's going to make the public in these countries more resistant to ponying up money. it's not i served with at the state department, it's not as if president bush didn't call for this, nor president obama. but the trick is tone sure that we're pulling them in and getting them to pay more. right now nato is confused. nato doesn't understand clearly if the united states is standing with them in article 5 as they did with us after 9/11. and we need to make sure that

"the washington post has yet another bombshell story and the russian connection, this time now, with jared kushner, that person of interest, using unnamed government officials as his new report states that president trump is set to fight back what is he building war room to combat this
3:36 am
russian probe. inside the story is the idea that jared kushner was attempting to set up a secret back channel with the russian ambassador in order to be able to have communications with the russians outside of government's prying eyes. what do you make of this story? >> yeah. you know, when i ran for congress. i bought a cricket phone too to set up a back channel with my campaign manager. is that a federal crime? listen, i'm generally a very happy war grer in this movement if you square jawl and mean look. i am. this is really disturbing. like i was a former federal agent. and what we don't do in the federal government -- i need your audience to understand. the federal government law enforcement has a massive amount of power that until you are in it, you will never understand the hell they can bring down upon you if they want. that's why we don't target people. we target crimes. and the people that do them later. if you want to find someone
3:37 am
and you want to go after someone as a federal agent, you can make their lives miserable for ripping the tag off a mattress or claiming 100 charitable deduction when they really gave 75. this is unbelievable. this is an evidence-free investigation that is simply determined to take down the president of the united states and his network. mark my words, guys and ladies, this is going to be a stain on the nation. the history is going to look at this as a black eye moment and is going to be horrified at what happened at this investigation if we can even call it that anymore. pete: dan, the third paragraph of the failing "new york times" this morning goes further by saying the idea was to have flynn, then the national security advisor or future one speak directly to moscow about syria and other national security issues. and back channel was never even set up. this is also something "the washington post knew about since december. so why are we hearing about it at 7:00 p.m. the friday before memorial day weekend?
3:38 am
>> because, steve, "the washington post cares about two things and two things only. make no mistake. number one, clicks. they want your money and number two, taking down the president. they don't care about an actual investigation. this is not the way this works. the way it worked in watergate is crime investigation. it doesn't work investigation and then let's go find a crime somewhere. this is absurd. a back channel? what does that even mean? seriously? does it mean a cricket phone or something? it's ridiculous. abby: they are getting their information somewhere. that's where i want to figure out where the leaks are coming from. every week friday night dump big bombshell at 5:00 p.m. that we don't know what the root of that is, where it's coming from. i hope to figure it out soon. on another note, dan, hillary clinton is back speaking at her alma mater wellesley talking about impeachment. take a listen to this part of it. >> we were serious about the past presidential election.

[laughter] of a man whose presidency would eventually end in disgrace with his impeachment for obstruction of justice. [cheers and applause] abby: only problem nixon resigned before he was actually ever impeached. >> yeah. this is classic. but her husband was. that's kind of an interesting little curve ball for threw. it's amazing. she said in the speech it was a full-fledged assault on truth and reason that's the time we live in now where truth and reason seemingly don't matter. keep in mind, this is a woman whose campaign had to use bleach bit to erase the truth and reason from her email scandal. this is woman whose campaign crew took hammers to blackberries to avoid truth and reason from actually being uncovered and by the way, every step of her email scandal she had a problem with truth and reason by actually answering questions honestly. she couldn't do it.
3:40 am
remember, i never sent or received classified information, eh, wrong. truth and reason are the enemies of hillary clinton. they are like, you know, they are night and day. they have never married up and met these two. clayton: colluding with major networks to get debate questions ahead of time. >> bingo. clayton: i don't know if you will be attending but she will be teaching a new history class at wellesley where she revises history. clayton: too bad that's already happening. >> she would fit right in. abby: thank you for joining us this morning. have a great weekend. >> thanks, guys. abby: turning to other headlines a judge appointed by president obama is dismissing a lawsuit against hillary clinton over the death of two americans in benghazi. parents of officer sean smith and cia operative tyrone woods filing the wrongful death suit saying that clinton's private email server led to those attacks. >> my understanding is they even send an unarmed drone in there and they are watching it happen and they still didn't

3:48 am
convicted. so that's one hub. on the broader level look at for example the mosque he was attending which has lynches to muslim brotherhood and hamas. they macon item isis. where is the radical foundation for this coming from? that connects them to the broader network of the muslim brotherhood and countries that we consider to be allies that back the muslim brotherhood and hamas. pete: rather than lone wolf narrative whatever immediate network he had was supported by exterior network of radicals who inspire and infuse what these guys do? >> exactly. it's an insurgency that has support from governments and foreign groups and the good news about that instead of being random jihadys who read something radical and crime problem no this is a war with networks that you can dismantle, another example the father will admit is he a supporter of the libyan islamic fighting group linked to al qaeda that group had a network in the manchester area and then all the way back in
3:49 am
libya. so when the younger brother gets arrested in libya, there is another part of that overall network right there. pete: interesting. president trump has been in europe talking terrorism. how important do you think his emphasis on radical islamic terrorism is for these european governments to listen to? >> it's very important. the fact that he was saying drive them out. what that indicates he understands it's a network. they are operating through mosques, through front organizations. and they get state support. again the libyan jihadist which is the broader network that this bombing manifest than fested from is turkey turkey is a member of nato. qatar was praised by trump being a wonderful partner in the war on terror and they're not. pete: clear eyes about who is supporting not just isis but the ideology underneath it like the muslim brotherhood. >> absolutely. we have got to look at the governments that promote the radical islamic networks and within those radical islamic networks that's where isis will recruit from. pete: thank you.

4:04 am
gllt entire world is watching and most importantly vladimir putin is watching it seemed like yesterday was his love note to vladimir putin it really did. >> the fact that our president does not respect those allies. actually shows more warmth to putin and his cronies. more warmth to the saudis where, of course, the 9/11 terrorists came from. that's really disturbing. >> there is really one explanation for all of, this and it's all the other stuff that his ally, that his ally, that his brethren, that his butter, his cake is being buttered somehow with the russians. clayton: everyone in the world cares about what donnie deutsche thinks. everybody in the media thinks he scolded our allies of nato but cozied up to our foes in saudi arabia. how do you see it? >> do you know what i see? i saw a president who is continuing to hold to his campaign promises. and when he went to nato, he didn't back down. what he said was it's time for
4:05 am
other countries to pay their fair share, just like the original arrangement was in place for. you know what? that takes guts to do. what the mainstream media doesn't want to report is that under the previous administration, you know, nations get a pass. they didn't have to pay their fair share when it came to nato. all of a sudden the president goats out and says you know what? if you want the united states' help feel free and agre to pay u agreed to pay. is he in italy with the g-7. this has been phenomenal trip by all accounts. the mainstream media continues to refuse to give him the credit which he deserves, which is showing that the americans once again are the dominant force in the world and reassuring our allies that we are going to stand with them to fight global terrorism. abby: he is hoping to carry that momentum, right, when he combs home from this trip today. is he still figuring out how to deal with the swamp that is washington, d.c., dealing with the media, dealing with members of congress, lobbyists, you name it also, dealing with your own staff and there are reports this morning that once again that there is going to be another
4:06 am
big shakeup in his administration. you have been talking about maybe coming on board to help him again. is that the move forward? is that how he can keep his momentum going? getting the right people around you? >> well, it's always important to have the best team possible around you. and what i think you see is that as you know this administration has been fairly slow in filling out some of those presidential appointments and that is what has allowed the deep state and particularly the intelligence community to continue to leak information. we saw a story last week that three staffers have been identified as leaking classified information. those people should be removed immediately. and they should be loyal lists put in place. i think in order for this president to be successful you have to grow the team around him. that means bringing additional people in. bringing those people in part of the campaign and have had long standing personal relationships with the press so they are moving his agenda forward and the only way to do that is by riding yourself of the holdovers from the previous administration who will do everything they can to destroy your presidency. pete: corey, speaking of
4:07 am
loyalists, does that include you? do you have plans to go back to the white house? >> look, i haven't spoken to the president about a job in the white house so let me be very clear. i think it's fair to say that i have been a loyalists to this president. if he were ask me to come and help him in a capacity. i would be fmla happy to do. so there are a lot of good people out there who want to help the president. can you help best from being inside or help best from being on the outside. i can do and say things on the outside that i would not be able to do from the inside. so i'm here and able and willing to serve the president in any capacity but i don't know what that would like like moving further. pete: one of the loyalists his son-in-law jared kushner the new target of "the washington post piece in the last 24-hours which claims a bombshell and of course the "new york times" on board with this article as well. reuters on board with this that jared kushner had a relationship with the russian ambassador, told him that we were going to set up a back channel of communication which would be outside of the prying ears of the intelligence community. we would be able to talk to
4:08 am
russia and set up and have discussions about syria and other things. that actually never came to fruition. that michael flynn was in the room at the same time. and now we're hearing another report this morning that president trump is going to set up a war room when he returns to washington in order to combat all of these russian stories. what would that war room look like? is there any truth to it? what can you tell us this morning, corey? >> i think if the president is going to set up a war room it would be designed probably similar to what the clintons did and what that means is a dedicated effort to push back on the false narratives that the mainstream media continues to promulgate. what we have seen is unnamed sources, unnamed accounts. no validation from anybody who is willing to go on the "on the record." everyone wants to speak anonymously because of what they know is that the information that they are given is either not truthful or unsubstantiated. what the president needs is a dedicated team either inside or outside of the administration pushing back on these false stories. very important because what we have seen throughout the
4:09 am
president's entire campaign and now through the beginning of his administration is the mainstream media does not want to tell the truth about this administration. 89% of the media coverage has been negative or false about this president moving forward. when you look at the mainstream media. it's time to put a team in place, a rapid response team that is sure to push back on these false stories and give the president the opportunity to move his agenda forward. pete: because at 7:00 last night "the washington post put this headline up on a friday night. it is that the russian ambassador told moscow that kushner wanted secret channel with the kremlin. if you are watching any other network right now, it's russia, russia, russia, wall-to-wall. the "new york times" added that the meeting kushner had was set up a meeting for flynn to talk to moscow about military matters. of course that communications channel was never actually established. is it not common practice that advisors of a newly elected president would want to talk to their counterparts of other governments? >> of course it's common practice. and if you read paragraph 97 at the very bottom it says
4:10 am
this is what every administration does. that's the crazy party. and if you read paragraph 168 at the very, very end it says well, there is nothing illegal about doing this if it even did occur. where is the there there? what i don't understand is the mainstream media wants to promulgate these false stories, accusations no evidence it took place when they freely admit even if it took place interest is nothing wrong with it, standard protocol moving forward for administration. further after that there is nothing wrong with doing it. that's not the is he laciousz headline which sells newspapers. not the salacious headline which gets you click on their website. they want to drop these stories on a friday night so that they can have everyone talking about russia for the rest of the weekend when they should be talking about the americans who fought for our freedoms on memorial day. abby: amazing how many misleading headlines you find and click on the piece and find it really has nothing to do with the actual title. so unfortunate for the american people but corey, good to have you with us this morning. appreciate it that.
4:11 am
pete: it's called click bait. abby: then you regret doing that. pete: it always gets me. pete: that's why you need to stay off the internet. pete: unplugging? clayton: just unplug. enjoy your family like corey said. and barbecue, salt and then pay your respects. abby: i love that i also want to bring other headlines this morning starting with a fox news alert. this is breaking overnight. u.k. police making two more arrests in the manchester concert bombing. officers blowing the doors off of a house and arresting two men age 20 and 22 early this morning. there are at least 11 people now in custody linked to the investigation. well the bombing killed 22 people and injured 56 outside of that arianna grande concert. meanwhile, grande has announced that she is holding a benefit concert for the victims of the attack saying on twitter that she will return to england once she is able to confirm a date. she is facing backlash for not visiting with the victims of the bombing. instead just flying back to the united states.

loss during a commencement speech at wellesley college yesterday. pete: one thing she is blaming the loss on is sexism saying in a recent interview this: once i moved from serving someone when she was secretary of state, a man, the president, to seeking that job on my own, i was once again vulnerable to the barrage of innuendo and negativity and attacks that come with the territory of a woman who is striving to go further. so, sorry. abby: why wasn't she making the same complaint when she lost to obama back in 2008? we will ask fox news contributor lisa booth. good morning, lisa. >> hey, guys. it is interesting. we are still hearing this excuse, this reason for losing. but you look back in 2008. we didn't hear that from her as much. >> no, all we have heard is excuses from her as to why she lost. every parent should take a clip of this and show it to their kids and show it as to be a sore loser and not lose gracefully. that's all we see is excuse after excuse. she made the gender card a

huge issue during her campaign. remember madam all bright told women voters there is a special place in hell for us if we didn't vote for hillary clinton. she ended up losing white women to president trump. she also struggled with noncollege educated women in rural areas, particularly the rust belt which really set her back. and she failed to capture hispanic women to the same degree that president obama did. she really made this the centerpiece of her campaign but yet still failed to connect with key demographics of female voters. pete: on the sexism part i'm sitting here with two powerful smart women. >> oh. pete: it's true. you would have thought the women in the audience and some will tell you that your voice doesn't matter. do we really live in a world where women are told your voice doesn't matter. >> she was secretary of state. it's not like being a woman really set her back and failed for her. but also get so sick and tired of her trying to portray herself as a feminist. look, we all know that she very much capitalized offer of her husband.

and his career and sort of rode his coat tails to prominence. please spare me that detail. but she also did reach, you know, the position of secretary of state so it's not like her gender set her back. she just was a bad candidate. she didn't connect with voters. they just didn't like her. abby: why are we still hearing about this? i think back on past elections with john mccain losing and mitt romney losing. i remember months after the election we didn't hear from them why they lost or campaigning about the person who beat them. >> she is starting a pac which i fully endorse and i hope it's the same people behind her campaign because these are the same people who told her not to go to wisconsin. these are the same people who told her to spend more money pursuing one more electoral college vote in nebraska. then she did in wisconsin and michigan combined which would have brought her 26 electoral college votes. please start this pac, hillary clinton. i hope you encourage these candidates. i hope you choose which ones to invest in because that's just going to go splendidly.

and i quit smoking with chantix. i was very grateful to have chantix. at times when i would normally go smoke, i just didn't it's kind of like "wait a minute, i would normally be running out the door to go grab a cigarette." along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix reduced my urge to smoke. when you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, you may have nicotine withdrawal symptoms. some people had changes in behavior or thinking, aggression, hostility, agitation, depressed mood or suicidal thoughts or actions with chantix. serious side effects may include seizures, new or worse heart or blood vessel problems, sleepwalking or allergic and skin reactions which can be life-threatening. stop chantix and get help right away if you have any of these. tell your healthcare provider if you've had depression or other mental health problems. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. the most common side effect is nausea. thank you chantix. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. many insurance plans cover chantix for a low or $0 copay.

4:35 am
wasn't going to school. but was getting student loans so apparently this is a tactic that's been used by other jihadists in europe. apply for the student loans. say you are a student. get the cash from the government and use it to fly to libya back and forth because otherwise he wouldn't have the money to do so. this is how he funded his terror plot and probably a technique and a tactic others used in a way that you could start to track down some of these terrorists. clayton: we learned he called his brother about 15 minutes before the attack and tracking his cell phone information and be able to see who he was talking to. pete: this is why the family is so important. ultimately somebody knows something and it's getting -- you know president trump said is right in saudi arabia. drive them out. drive them out. you have got to have family members and community members willing to call out folks when they descend into even more radical perspectives. clayton: what's important to think this holiday weekend around the barbecue and families. people working around the clock who know things we don't know. john kelly said this on "fox & friends" the other day. he said if you knew what i knew, you would never leave

pete: had to pay for instagram account? clayton: this one you did. @ proud american. we will share your photos on that account. pete: this is memorial day. we have a great weekend. we will remember everyone who paid the ultimate price. abby: we want to start with a fox news alert. pete: that's right. president trump preparing to wrap up first overseas trip. pete: annual g-7 summit in italy is coming to a close. he will address the troops in italy before heading home. abby: that is where we find chief white house correspondent john in taormina. >> it's kind of like a fast tower and mina. save me frog legs and i will bring you back calamari. the president is involved in his last g-7 debate. from here behind mount aetna over to the naval station where he will give a speech to sailors. this will not be a speech specifically tailored to the military he will be talking
5:04 am
about his trip and what he believes are the successes he has achieved is in saudi arabia, israel, and brussels here at the g-7 summit. two headlines coming out of the submit. first he is considering not relaxing sanctions on russia. some people had speculated he might do. actually toughening up those sanctions until russia implements a cease-fire in the ryu crane. other headline coming out of here when his chief economic advisor gary cohn the president's thinking on the paris climate accord beginning to evolve. the president making a an important decision this weekend as to whether or not will withdraw the united states from that climate accord, according to gary cohn chief economic advisor he is beginning to understand how important this agreement is to the european leaders he has been talking to. when the president arrives back in the united states, he will find himself embroiled right in the center of a brand new controversy "the washington post reporting today that jared kushner, his son-in-law and lieutenant general michael flynn had a conversation with the russian ambassador to the united states back in december which
5:05 am
they allegedly asked to see if they could establish a secure back channel line of communication with russian officials. according to the "new york times" that was so michael flynn could talk to russian generals in moscow about syria and some other military to military cooperation. there is also another story carried by reuters that there were three previously undisclosed contacts between kushner and kislyak. some of these were phone calls between april and november. no response from the white house on this idea creating a secure line of communication. but on the phone calls, kushner's attorney told fox news quote mr. kushner participated in thousands of calls in this time period. he has no recollection of the calls described. we have asked reuters, which is the news organization that carried that report for the dates of such alleged calls so that we may look at it and respond, but we have not received such information. as to the establishment of a secure line of communication, it's also possible, abby,
5:06 am
pete, and clayton, this is simply a disinformation campaign on the part of the russian ambassador because the notion that this occurred was picked up in a transmission from the ambassador to moscow and he probably knew that he was being listened in to by the nsa at that time. so, we will see if they have some response to that today. we will keep watching for you. clayton: thanks john roberts in italy for us. thank you for that great reporting there as always. meanwhile, as "the washington post even points out in this same article, yes, this could be just misinformation. disinformation coming out of the russian government in order to discredit the trump administration. pete: , "the washington post loves this headline. whenever they can get russia in at the top of course they do and they have. "the washington post last night at 7:00 p.m. put this out supposed meeting that did occur between the russian ambassador and jared kushner but then all the accusations that must come with it how it was evidence of further proof of the russian collusion and russian interference. abby: once again, right? we don't know the source. we don't know where awful
5:07 am
these leaks are coming from. clayton: came from miss serious letter. abby: always leaked out on friday evening before the mainstream media can spend the entire night focusing on russia and the potential collusion. but here's the thing. i always go back to what do the american people want to hear right now? what do they care about? this is at the end of as we have been talking about, as john roberts reported on, this really incredible trip that happened the last nine days. he met with the three major religions of the world talking about the biggest issues that we face, terrorism. and then in israel he is talking about how to deal with this conflict between the palestinians and the israelis. and yet that is not, if you look at the news today. i don't see those headlines anywhere. clayton: not digging in to whether this is common practice even accord ing to "the washington post piece it is common for a senior advisors of a newly elected president to be in contact with foreign leaders and officials. but now administrations are generally cautious in their handling of interactions with moscow. pete: this is what you have to do with these stories these days with the new fake news media read down to paragraph 5
5:08 am
or 8 or 12 or 15 where they admit that their story is basically bunk. based on a couple nip plets they got have from sphom anonymous source pretty common. another tear out from the very same "the washington post" story is that the post was first alerted to this in mid december to the meeting by anonymous letters. so, december, six months ago which said amongst other things that kushner had talked to kislyak the russian ambassador about setting up the communications channel. abby: why are we hearing about this now? this is the end of may. this is the end of this trip. the night before the big memorial day weekend. this is the perfect way to change the narrative so we don't have to talk about the trip that as i would say many americans want to hear about. pete: and has been successful. abby: focused once again on russia. clayton: give it out on friday. perfect for the weekend. no one is working this weekend. this is the story that floats all the way till tuesday. pete: yeah. clayton: which is why president trump was tweeting already from italy earlier today it's already afternoon over there tweeting saying we
5:09 am
are going to take on terrorism at the g-7 and also talking about him coming back to the united states and reports that he is going to be setting up a war room back here in the united states in order to counteract the stories that are coming out about the russian collusion. pete: and we will talk about that for sure. this story coming out, you know, from "the washington post the same place that launched that -- the first story about russia when the plane was taking off to go to saudi arabia. they book ended this as perfectly as they could. of course, the failing "new york times" has to get into it as well. they actually did some justice to this story in three paragraphs down. this from the "new york times" on the kushner story. it's unclear who first proposed the communications channel but the people familiar with the meeting said the idea was to have mr. flynn, who was to be the future national security advisor speak directly with a senior military official in moscow to discuss syria and other security issues. and then another detail here, the communication channel, which everyone is up in arms about was never set up. clayton: we had corey lewandowski earlier on the show this morning asking him all about this. yeah, you have to read down to paragraph 160 before you get any of this information. instead of focusing on the
5:10 am
successful trip. how did the president handle it? here is corey's take. >> i saw a president who is continuing to hold to his campaign promises. and when he went to nato, he didn't back down. what he said was it's time for other countries to pay their fair share. just like the original arrangement was in place for. and you know what? that takes guts to do. what the mainstream media doesn't want to report is that under the previous administration, you know, nations get a pass. they didn't have to pay their fair share. he went to israel. he went to saudi arabia. he is now in italy with the g-7. this has been a phenomenal trip by all accounts. the mainstream media continues to refuse to give him the credit which he deserves, which is showing that the americans, once again rrkts dominant force in the world. and reassuring our allies that we are going to stand with them to fight global terrorism. clayton: abby, i know you are fired up. abby: can i read you one headline coming out days ago. i'm upset about this as we have been talking about the click bait misleading title i want to know what is going on.

♪ clayton: several months after hillary clinton lost the presidential election to donald trump she is revealing in new interview another excuse for her defeat what i was doing working i would have won had i not been subjected to the unprecedent the attacks by comb i can't understand the russians aided and abetted by the suppression of the vote, particularly in wisconsin. abby: but was voter suppression in wisconsin really the reason that hillary clinton lost? let's ask wisconsin governor scott walk his or her joins us right now. governor, good to have you. good morning. >> good morning. good to be with you. first i should say prayers to all our gold star families thank you for your sacrifice and most importantly the sacrifice to their loved ones. thanks for having me on.
5:18 am
abby: we should not forget this weekend. the reason by hillary clinton lost voter suppression particularly in your home state? >> it's convenient that she says that now and didn't say anything about it last spring when she lost the wisconsin primary to bernie sanders on the democrat side that's because in the primary both republican and democrat primaries we had the second largest turnout of any state in the nation. second only to new hampshire where obviously they have got a pretty big tradition of being first in the nation in terms of primary. wisconsin was second behind them in terms of turnout. the biggest turnout we have had since the 1970s, that's because people were excited about those campaigns both on the left and on the right. obviously part of the reason she failed in wisconsin in the fall was because people weren't excited about her campaign. pete: of course. are they blaming on voter i.d.? where do they come up with this idea that the vote was suppressed? >> well, it's just ridiculous. the idea that everywhere else in society, almost in anything we do in life today we have to show some form of photo i.d. we do it for free in wisconsin.
5:19 am
we do it for free upon request. there is no way people can't get access to voter i.d. here in the state of wisconsin. again, it wasn't a problem in the spring when we had record turnout that's because people both in the republican and democrat side were excited. apparently they weren't excited about hillary clinton's campaign in the fall. and that's the reason she didn't win. clayton: all right, governor, i want to talk about medicaid. wisconsin is seeking to become the first state to drug test mid indicated applicants. the left calling this move racist. what do you say? >> well, i think it's ridiculous when people want to see people permanently dependent on the government. our belief here in wisconsin, we're a good, decent people and we want to care for those in need in our community. but if they are able to work, we want to enable them to get in the workforce. i often like to say we need to have public assistance more like a trampoline to get people up on their feet again and less like a hammock. unfortunately the left in the past has wanted people permanently dependent on the government. we want to give them tools to get back um and in the workforce.
5:20 am
i have the highest employment levels i have had in my state. nearly record low unemployment rates in the state. 17 owe lower right now. close to the lowest we have ever had. highest percentage of workforce of any state in the nation. we're in the top 10. i need more people in the workforce and we are say going we get you healthy and meaning drug-free and get people basic employability skills i can find a job for anyone in this state who is able to work. abby: governor, quickly before we let you go, how is the mood in wisconsin about how things are going right now? >> i'm sorry last parted about that? abby: what's the mood in wisconsin right now about how things are going? >> oh, i mean, i think the right now we are -- i often say what's happening with the president and all the attention out there that people here in this state judge actions greater than words. and we see the actions, the changes happening that put more power back into the states and more importantly in the hands of the people being a good one. we see a state again like i said we have record levels of employment here. we're excited about the future. but we want to make sure that we get more people off the

the last 12 hours which shows a bombshell. >> unnamed sources, unnamed accounts, if you read paragraph 97 at the very bottom, it's what every administration does. >> there's no objectivity here. >> you may have heard that things didn't go exactly the way i planned. but you know what? i'm doing okay. i won't lie. chardonnay helped a little. we were furious about the past presidential election of a man whose presidency would eventually end in disgrace for his impeachment for obstruction of justice. >> i think she needs to spend more time in the woods because clearly she hasn't moved past the election. she hasn't moved past losing. abby: good morning to all of you. we want to start with a fox news alert. you're looking at brand-new video with president trump
6:02 am
meeting with african outreach leaders in italy. >> the president is ending his last leg of the foreign trip, going to address our troops before heading home from italy. >> chief correspondent john roberts is live in italy with more. i butchered it, john. of course. >> just say it very quickly, and then you have it down. pete, clayton, abby, good morning to you. the president just finishing up his last g7 event. staff has been working on that since late yesterday and the president making a headline a short time ago to talk about the paris climate accord saying i will make a final decision on the paris accord next week. he has been talking with european leaders for the past three days, in part at least about climate change. and i'm told he's come to a better understanding of their position. chief economic adviser gary cohn has said that his position has evolved. so we'll see what -- a lot of
6:03 am
pressure back home for him to get that out. because of the potential economic damage it could do. in the meantime when the president returns back to washington, d.c. he'll have another controversy, this one surrounding his son-in-law jared kushner, it was picked up by intelligence telling moscow at a at a meeting in december with jared kushner and michael flynn. kushner suggested opening up a secure line of communication with russia, potentially even using their diplomatic communications to do it. that was so that michael flynn could have conversations with russian generals with syria. and then previously undisclosed communication with sergey kislack, two of them were phone calls in april and november. now, people say jared kushner doesn't recall this phone calls, and it could be what kislack told moscow knowing he was being eavesdropped by the nsa and wanted to throw people off of the trail. we haven't heard from the white house on that part of it yet.
6:04 am
but we expect to in the next few minutes. back to you folks. abby: john roberts live for us. thank you, john. >> we saw a bombshell story when president trump was leaving to go over on his nine-day trip. abby: so they're bookending the bombshell. >> yeah. the one john roberts was talking about. >> so last night at 7:00 as john roberts was talking about, talking about jared kushner and whether or not this relationship with the russians with the secret communication channels being set up in order to have a direct link to the kremlin. >> to the kremlin. this is the headline. russian ambassador told moscow that kushner wanted a secret channel with moscow. in order to do this, you have to go down paragraph 103 or 160, as lewandowski suggested. it's common for senior advisers to be in contact with foreign leaders and officials. but new administrations are
6:05 am
generally cautious in handling their interactions with moscow. there's no wrongdoing and jared kushner is not the main focus of the investigation. he was trying to set up a conversation with the soon to be national security adviser because we have to figure things out in syria and also islamists. abby: let's be clear. this is coming from a letter. >> from the washington post in december. abby: yeah, and it says the post. it says the post was first alerted in mid-december to a meeting that said among other things that kushner had talked to can i see lack about setting up the communication channel. so that was in that article. but it's interesting if they had it back in december, why not link it then? >> it's all tied to the idea that there's collusion between the administration. bret baier made a great point that if this was collusion, why would you set it up in december post election? >> sure. >> this would have been set up years ago or a year ago, perhaps. so we don't know yet.
6:06 am
we also don't know the source of this letter. we don't know where it comes from. abby: we never know the leaks. >> they're anonymous, and we don't know where the leaks come from, and we don't know if it's true. another portion of the washington post story is this portion. it says russia at times feeds false information into communication streams that it suspects are monitored as a way of sewing misinformation and confusion amongst u.s. analysts. so they could have done this because they want it to get outer, and they want it to be part of a perception. >> so why? the new york times jumping on the story as well. >> oh, good. >> and the new york times says this: it is unclear who first proposed the communication channel but the people familiar with the meeting said the idea was to have mr. flynn speak directly to a senior military official in moscow to discuss syria and other security issues. the security channel was never set up. >> so for once, thank you, failing new york times. it's unclear who first proposed it. it could have been the russian ambassador. who knows. and also it was for flynn to
6:07 am
set i happen with syria and the communication channel was never set up. so we're talking about something that didn't exist. it's all about creating smoke without fire to see if there is fire. abby: that has been going on for months now. i mean, you have these leaks that you don't know where they're coming from, and they're putting out these stories that many of them we don't know are factually accurate. >> well, you can't check them because they're anonymous sources. >> we deal with these stories every day, and we struggle to keep our heads together on this. we struggle to even understand what's going on. i can only imagine as the american people are trying to wrap their heads around this and russia and is there anything there? >> well, that's why we're hearing reports that the trump administration and lewandowski didn't set up a war room to be able to deal with this story and act quickly for responses to these questions. eric trump was asked about this idea of russian collusion, and he says it's ridiculous. listen. >> the media keeps on russia,
6:08 am
russia, russia, what's he going to do to neutralize that? >> it's all nonsense. it's a witch hunt. syria said what they have with russia. but, listen, it's a political party. they got beat very badly by a person who came out of nowhere, who everybody wrote off, who gave no chance to. he was 7-1 and there are people angry out there. i really believe they would rather see this country fail than him succeed. >> this full interview will air tonight on waterworld. that last point. if you're to your knowledge any other network today, it's russia, russia, russia. russia, comey, russia. abby: and you would never know reading headlines this morning that president trump is coming off this nine-day trip. >> successful. abby: quite an important
6:09 am
trip. >> yeah. abby: in saudi arabia and then going to israel. they were only dealing with a few issues in that part of the world. and you can't find that anywhere. >> here is a public service announcement how to read a newspaper, if you're still buying newspaper. instead of reading the first three paragraphs that arrive on the front page. why don't you open it up, go to the second part of the story, and read six paragraphs through to the end, so you can actually see some of the other parts of the story. >> where it's caveat one, caveat two, caveat t caveat four on the headline. because there's a lot of click bait. so do the things the mainstream media won't do, the homework, of reading the full article, looking at the fine print because they ultimately have to tell some truth and they're, like, well, we don't really know. >> and you also get great summer grilling tips. >> clayton is fully distracted by memorial day weekend. abby: meanwhile, though, hillary clinton is back out there good. she was speaking at her alma
6:10 am
mater. >> and she's clearly not over the election and so many journalists who are covering the russia thing aren't as well. abby: normally a commencement speech you think what advice do i want to pass down? what helped made my own life? and very quickly in the speech no surprise here, it turns political. >> i couldn't think of any place i would rather be this year than right here. there is a full fledged assault on truth and reason. some are even denying things we see with our own eyes like the size of crowds. when people empower invent their own facts and attack those who question them, it can mark the beginning of the end of a free society. >> the beginning of the end of free society. just like the washington post democracy dies and darkness. they think the end days are coming. >> well, i don't think she's going to get a job as a history teacher.
6:11 am
abby: she's going to be teaching there, apparently. >> yeah, maybe. revisionist history. because she took this take on impeachment and see if you can find the historical flaw in her statement here on richard nixon. watch. >> we were serious about the past presidential election of a man whose presidency would eventually end in disgrace with his impeachment for obstruction of justice. >> so she's referring to former president richard nixon who of course wasn't impeached. probably would have been but resigned before he was. and the irony of her whole thing, her husband was the one impeached. he's the most recent historical impeachment in the united states. abby: yikes. you know what's interesting, though, just thinking back in recent history, john mccain, even romney, people who lost the general election. at this point, five, six months after they've been -- the other person who has been president, we didn't really
6:12 am
hear from them. if we did, it's all the other reasons why they lost. >> look at al gore. >> yeah. sure. grew a beard and went off in the woods and stayed in the woods. >> we're talking about a contentious election. abby: that's a great point. >> how did the mainstream media, the left media react to hillary clinton's speech? a little bit different than what we break it down. >> it was remarkable. this is full throated. a lot of people think what hillary clinton is going to do in her political retirement. that's want retirement. >> hillary clinton is doing something which she probably does best, which is encourage people to do more. >> she went for it. she's trying to reflect the sense of humor that people had found when she was in office in the early months of the campaign. >> i think that secretary clinton is sort of finding her groove post election. >> it was optimistic and inclusive and encouraging. there was a call for truth and justice, and i think that's her role going forward.
6:13 am
>> wait a second, did they say sense of truth that she had during the campaign? abby: she has a lot of friends in media that are her close friends. so beyond reporting about hillary clinton, they're going to put their own personal touch on that. and with donald trump, there isn't any of that. >> wait a minute, so hillary has friends in the press who hold her up? abby: do they even he go i give her debate questions? >> no. now we have another tough turn on a story, one of the four americans who died in the benghazi attack and parents sued hillary clinton. and now it's in from president obama. >> first, the foreign media is slamming's first foreign trip. >> actually shows more warm to putin and his cronies. >> there's one explanation for all of this. his cake is being buttered by the russians. >> do you butter cake? >> i eat the cake. so why won't they give him a fair shake? that's next
6:16 am
6:17 am
>> it seems yesterday was his love note to salad peer putin. it really did. >> it actually shows more warmth to putin and his cronies. more warmth to the saudis where of course the 9/11 terrorists came from. that's really disturbing. >> there's only one explanation for all of this. his cake is being buttered somehow with the russians. >> let them butter their cake. while the mainstream slamming president trump's first foreign trip. so why won't they give him a fair shake? here to weigh in alex and olympic media managing editor and editor at the daily caller, kate.
6:18 am
kate and alex, thank you, both, for joining us. so, alex, you heard that. that's just a small fraction of how the mainstream media has treated this trip. the truly was on many levels historic. >> yeah. and it's not surprising. i mean, i think heading into this trip, we saw that the coverage was that the press wanted to cover this through the lens of donald trump has a lot of problems back home with russia. his white house is in chaos. how is he going to be able to handle a foreign trip? and the interesting thing is i think the white house made it a lot harder for reporters to be able to cover that story. i've never seen him as discipline as he was this week. he tweeted less than he usually does, you know? he didn't do any press conferences. i wish he would have did some press conferences, but he really kind of stayed on message, which then as a result forced a lot of reporters had to cover what was going on in the ground overseas, rather than talking about mike flynn and the russia investigation. and as you can see from some of the commentaries you just played, russia is a lot of people in the media want to talk about. >> yeah. places like the washington post bookenedding
6:19 am
his trip with perfectly time bombshell stories to talk about russia instead of where he was headed. we're going to put up a couple of headlines that have been played over the course of this trip from so-called mainstream media outlets. cnn, trump's compliments, egyptian president's shoes. what are you feeding to president trump? president trump pushes montenegro, and of course the washington post, the world gets their first real look at the trump marriage. so we're reshifting foreign policy in the middle east and getting nato to pay attention to isis, and these are the headlines? >> well, alex is absolutely right. it takes hard to take the mainstream media seriously. the president did not reaffirm article five with nato, not because he's colluding with vladimir putin and russia. he should have, but they try to jump to this outrageous conclusion for absolutely no reason and with no evidence to back it up. and perhaps they're just pandering to their audience. and if that's what they're
6:20 am
doing, they're doing a very good job of it. but it's unintelligent. it has no depth. it's shallow and requires no breath of a subject. so if that's the path they want to go down fine. but it's going to make them very foolish. >> is this deliberate or bat journalism? >> we do have a lot of reporters that are focused on the trivial stuff. as you pointed out, there are all of these stories about trump pushing a little bit, the prime minister of montenegro during a photo shoot. there was all the coverage of did melania trump nudge his hand away as they were walking around? all the coverage of the sword dancing in saudi arabia when, in fact, there are other visuals that are a lot more meaningful. donald trump being the first sitting president to go and visit the western wall. >> absolutely. well, unfortunately, we have to leave it right there, katie and alex, thanks, both, for joining us this morning. >> yeah. you bet. >> all right. kyle, widow of
6:21 am
american sniper chris kyle is here with us on this memorial day weekend. stay around ♪"all you need is love" plays my friends know me so well. they can tell what i'm thinking, just by looking in my eyes. but what they didn't know was that i had dry, itchy eyes. i used artificial tears from the moment i woke up... ...to the moment i went to bed. so i finally decided to show my eyes some love,... ...some eyelove. eyelove means having a chat with your eye doctor about your dry eyes because if you're using artificial tears often and still have symptoms, it could be chronic dry eye. it's all about eyelove, my friends.
6:24 am
>> we are back with a fox news alert. an intense manhunt coming to an end in virginia where u.s. marshals rated a home just after 6:00 this morning, arresting suspected cop killer travis. he was wanted in last night's murder who the shot while in pro patrol in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods. and he died at the hospital, unfortunately. another cyber attack may be to blame for worldwide chaos for british airways. thousands of flights later canceled after their it system crashed. justice travelers are heading to memorial day weekend destination. bad timing. customers unable to access their boarding passes and flight info, which will make it tough to travel.
6:25 am
heathrow airport staff forced to put up information on a whiteboard. british airways denying they were hacked but the cause of the crash is unclear. abby: those who paid the ultimate sacrifice and gave their life while serving their country. >> one of the heroes we're covering is chris kyle whose story captured the hearts of this nation. >> fox news contributor taya tile, chris kyle's wife joins us now. >> thank you for having me. >> the story of your husband is one a lot of americans thankfully are familiar with. on this memorial day weekend, which means so much to you and families like you, what do you remember and how should americans recognize it themselves? >> well, you know, it's an interesting thing. chris and i talked about it a lot when he was alive, of course, and we spent it honoring our friends who died. we would often go to a national cemetery and then
6:26 am
celebrate the freedoms that these people fought so hard for. the one thing that struck me this year is chris always loved vietnam veterans and so do i. and i've gotten to know a lot of the survivors. their parents died in the vietnam war, and they were told as children not to talk about it because they didn't know how the culture would receive them or society would receive them. to protect the children, they said don't talk about how daddy died or mommy died. so i think this memorial day would be a perfect time to go back and try to right that wrong and thank the people and remember the people who lost the loved ones in the vietnam war, in particular. >> you know when you're dealing with children, you have -- i have a 6-year-old and a 5-year-old, how would you talk to your children about memorial day? >> yeah. i think it's just being honest. we're at a point in our world where we have to acknowledge, and we always have been at this point. but i think right now we're kind of at a pivotal point where we have to acknowledge that evil does exist. so does good. and explaining to your children that both things exist. they always have. they always will, and they will always need people to
6:27 am
fight the evil in this world in an important thing. and sometimes with he lose the fight, and that's okay. but we need to remember both sides of it. that may be one way to approach it with children. abby: yeah, we've heard strong words from the president most relief in saudi arabia talking about the world that we all face with terrorism. do you -- how impact do you think that sort of speech is having on this fight with terror? >> you know, i think that we just have to be honest about it. and it's a brutal truth. i don't think it's comfortable for anyone to admit that we're all at risk of terrorism. i think that's a scary place to be. but, again, i think we have to find that balance, and we have to be discerning and know that we are kind people, we're a kind nation, he like to open our names to other people in e that a common behavior of sociopath and people who don't have a conscious is to play on that sympathy. and that's how they get invited in, and then they exact evil. so it's a really tough balance, but i do think we have to acknowledge there are
6:28 am
people out there who will play on our sympathies and then take evil action against us. >> taya, you talk about being honest, about good and evil in this world. and it also reminds us that words have consequences. we're going to play a clip from some on the left who refuse to name this enemy and want to apologize. take a listen. >> if there's bad governance, if there's war, if there's poverty, in this world we live in, we can't isolate ourselves. we can't hide behind a wall. >> just infusing weapons into the gulf states is not going to solve a 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 from the modern world, with jobs that actually allow them to build a life. >> the greatest thing we can do is just unite and love on each other. and, like, no borders, no borders. like, we all just need to coexists.
6:29 am
>> give them jobs. no barriers and no borders. give the terrorists jobs. >> yeah. you know, it's interesting because i think about that love and unity, and that's something i can identify with. i think we all can. if we're good people, we have it in our heart. but think of serial killers. they're playing on sympathies, and we all want to be loving and open and pitch up a hitchhiker. give them a ride. but let's all be honest about this. you can also get killed doing that. so you don't stop being kind, but you have to be discerning and think before i open up my arm, my mind, my home, i have to think about who i'm inviting in and be aware. ask for id; right? treat your country like home and think do i invite these people? you really need to say that if it's your house or you don't think it will touch you. but as soon as it touches you, you start to be a little bit more aware and start to ask questions. that's what we need to do as a country. >> i love that. not changing who you are and
6:30 am
still being kind but being discerning. >> taya, great to see you this morning. abby: your message, it was exactly what we all needed to hear on memorial day weekend. >> thank you for everything you've done, your husband, we're thinking of you on this memorial day weekend. thank you. >> thank you so much for having me. >> you got it. abby: all right. coming up, the president is sorg under president trump, the nasdaq and s&p both hitting record highs this week. does it bother you that nobody is even covering this? charles payne joins us, let's see it, charles. >> he's going to attack. meanwhile, this squirrel is fired up. the come back story. the return of the baseball squirrel. everyone excited. everyone was board watching the minnesota twins. and they were more excited about the squirrel. abby: i would be too. >> twins are winning. they're going to be good this yr new bike? yeah, 'cause i got allstate. if you total your new bike,
6:31 am
they replace it with a brand new one. that's cool. i got a new helmet. we know steve. it's good to be in (good hands). mattress firmness? fortunately there's a bed where you both get what you want every night. enter sleep number and the semi-annual sale going on now. sleepiq technology tells you how well you slept and what adjustments you can make. she likes the bed soft. he's more hardcore. so your sleep goes from good to great to wow! only at a sleep number store. it's the lowest price ever on our temperature balancing i8 bed, save $700 plus 36 month financing. ends monday. go to sleepnumber.com for a store near you.
6:34 am
6:35 am
abby: and elizabeth sending us this photo saying she's a proud american because her father would hang the american flag outside her barbershop every single day. >> and sent us this photo of his wife decked out in patriotic clothing. >> another patriot we have on the couch, charles payne, host of making money on the fox business network. and he's fired up this morning because the economy has been burning and turning and no one is talking about it. >> a big part of economic success is believing in it; right? believe it or not, a sentiment helps to create where you go. so one of the things we saw after the election was sentiment, excitement, enthusiasm goes through the rufe roof. and i don't care what measurement you use. if it was small businesses, consumers, homebuilders, all of a sudden that excitement is manifesting into reality and
6:36 am
i'm seeing significant change, significant, positive growth. that could be sustained, so it's really good news that it's unfortunate if people read the good news, it would actually help the economy even more. abby: a lot of this is good for millennials. i graduated in 2008, and i can't even tell you the sad stories that back then people not able to find a job, living at home with their parents. times have changed, though. >> times have certainly changed. last year, millennials were 42% of homebuyers. and here's to your point point. the average millennial buying, upper age at 33, but they're stepping up to the plate and making more money. and what they're also realizing is they can't start off in the big city. imagine trying to move to new york as your first job or millennial. so they're moving to the suburbs because ultimately they want to raise a family and to your point, that's the crux of a long-term growth. we need children, we need to grow our economy by growing our population. >> and boilers build the homes that they now want where they were renting a few years ago,
6:37 am
builders are stepping up to do it. >> they're trying to step up to do it. we do have a serious crisis with a lack of carpenters, a lack of folks who can actually do those jobs and part of that was a great recession. you had the older folks who can do it, but they went to do other things, and they couldn't train enough people. >> i had a plumber in my house yesterday who said i can't find good work. i have to take your take on something else this week. ben carson had something to say that a lot of folks reacted to. we'll give you what he said and then get you to react to it. >> i think poverty to a large extent is also a state of mind. you take somebody who has the right mind-set, you can take everything from them and put them on the street, and i guarantee you in a little while, they'll be right back up there. >> what do you think about that? >> i agree 1,000%. and let me tell you first and foremost, if you're born in
6:38 am
america, you have been blessed by a degree that you can't explain. think of people trying to retrofit refrigerators to get here over oceans. also your brains. we can create what we need to do. we can become what we want. there is a state of victimization. there's a state of woe, and it's perpetuated. i mean, a lot of people, a lot of entities, a lot of organizations stay powerful by pushing this issue, of pushing the notion that somehow you can't progress in america for a variety of reasons. it is crazy nonsense, and it's your state of mind that takes you out of poverty. >> i'm so glad to hear you say that. there's the victimization, first of all, i believe that mony is a manifestation. when you get your mind right around your goals, you can begin to manifest and start to lay the goals down, take those action steps to get out of poverty, to pick yourself up and to take action. >> i agree 1,000%. and, listen, we've seen people who born into money or made a lot of money and squandered it all. >> right.
6:39 am
>> the bottom line is if you were born in america, and you have the right state of mind, you can go anywhere you want to go. bottom line. >> charles, have a great holiday weekend. >> you too. thanks a lot. >> we want to get to a fox news alert. isis now claiming responsibility for the deadly attack on a bus. mass gunman killing 21 people and wounding 24 hours on friday. targeting cabs in libya which cairo says have been training the militants for that attack. egypt under a state of emergency on coptic churches on palm sunday. and president obama dismissing a lawsuit against hillary clinton over the death of two americans in benghazi. parents of officer sean smith and tyrone woods filing the wrongful death suit saying that clinton's private server led to the terror attack. use of her private e-mail was in the scope of her employment. four americans died on that
6:40 am
day. and taking center stage of the cleveland indians gammas it is running through the out field. watch. >> what is it about a squirrel on a baseball field that gets everybody so excited? if a squirrel runs through your backyard in the middle of the afternoon, nobody cares. abby: that is such a great point. well, this squirrel causing a short delay in the game against the twins just two weeks ago, remember, that another squirrel took over another infield because we love squirrels. do you think it's the same squirrel? >> go where the peanuts are and there are so many peanuts on the ground. >> or the sunflower seeds when you're spitting sunflower seeds all game. that's what they want. abby: i would be there if i were a squirrel. >> wouldn't you, rick? >> of course. you could just buy them, though. that would be easier. >> that's true. let's talk about the weather. big storms going on today.
6:41 am
it's incredibly hot. heat down across parts of the south. it will feel like 97 in dallas, and that will bring up the severe weather today. so where you see the red, you'll notice this extends out across parts of the mid-atlantic and the biggest tornado threat is going to be across oklahoma and arkansas. be ready for that, those are going to go across the hours as well. a cool day, mid-atlantic looking at rain showers down in the southeast, you're going to continue to bake 90s again in florida. north of the storm, you're going to be nice and cool and across the west, tons of sunshine. and finally, guys, happy birthday, anderson. anderson turns 10 today. big day. came to see us at fox. back to you. abby: what a cutie, i love that. rick flays replays it off like he didn't just do the mud run. >> pulled a hammy, but he's faking it right now. if rick's hair was a little taller.
6:42 am
a little wind blowing. >> commencement speech bashing president trump. hillary clinton claiming sexism cost her the election. next. abby: and waiting to take our own pete, they're doing the mud run on the plaza. >> can we rewrap the video of you playing basketball on the trampoline? i'm sure they will. liberty mutual stood with us when a fire destroyed the living room. we were able to replace everything in it. liberty did what? liberty mutual paid to replace all of our property that was damaged. and we didn't have to touch our savings. yeah, our insurance won't do that. well, there goes my boat. you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty stands with you™ liberty mutual insurance
6:45 am
6:46 am
when people in power invent their own facts and attack those who question them, it can mark the beginning of the end of a free society. abby: hillary clinton commencement speech took no time to attack president trump. former candidate and fox news political analyst. good morning to both of you ladies. thank you for being here. a lot of people wondering why is she still out here talking about politics, talking about the election, why she lost, taking hits at president trump. >> it's just helpful. did you listen to the whole speech? it was extremely inspiring to the women in that room. judged by the fact that they responded in such a positive way. and in this commencement season, she's probably one of the few speakers, political speakers who see has had young people turn their back on her
6:47 am
because she was self deprecating. she also talked about her challenges when she was there on that campus, and how she has overcome them. hillary clinton, as all of us do, have a right to have a voice, and that's what she said to them. don't let anyone let you believe that your voice is not powerful. that's the message that she left for those students. unfortunately, in the discussion of politics, there are a lot of people who are going to be petty and focus on the jokes that she put the conversation with. and without mentioning president trump's name, that's what's going to get him most upset because she didn't say his name. that's how petty is. abby: of course there are inspirational parts of the speech but a lot of people think it's petty to take keeping shots at the election. >> well, i have a whole different spin of her commencement speech. number one, when i looked at it, i thought it was going smooth. i thought it was her connection to wealthy, it was nice, she had a little bit of

humor in it with the chardonnay, and then it took a turn. it took a sharp, left turn, and it went into politics. and it became, to me, almost an antitrump rally. i didn't understand why you would have to go there. as a woman, she can brag on her accomplishments alone. first lady in arkansas. first lady of the white house. secretary of state. i mean, she has on and on and on accomplishments. why couldn't she connect with those there? why do you have to be inspired by bashing the current president of the united states? and, by the way, the race is over. it is decided. why would you go there? >> i think about, you know, many of the candidates that have lost some, you know, a more than hillary clinton dig. you think about al gore and how long that played out, and you think about the aftermath. many of them, john mccain, mitt romney, i mention al gore, we didn't hear from them like we have hillary clinton; right? they kind of went away and said this is not my time. clearly i lost. we live in a democracy.

>> look, women aren't used to just going away. or strong women aren't. but how is it bashing president trump to talk to young women about critical thinking? to tell them to get out of their comfort zone and engage and debate with people who disagree with you. that's what she said in her speech. and if we come in a twa place in our country where critical thinking is seen as negative against the president. well, actually, i think that's where we have to come to in our country because no one from this conversation in the right wants to focus on the facts that we have a president who's trying to shut down the free press. we have a president who's trying to shut down voices of opposition. a president who the irs is investigating here. abby: we're talking about commencement speech, there's a time and place to have debates. there's a new piece in the new york magazine, a quote from hillary clinton saying once i moved from serving a

man to seeking that job on my own, i was once again vulnerable to the barrage of innuendo and the attacks who come to the territory of a woman who strive to go further. i read this whole piece but throughout, it's still gender. still talking about -- it's all about women. >> it wasn't gender. and her race wasn't about gender. as a matter of fact, her gender was an advantage because looking how far she had come, it was her. she was a bad candidate. so this has nothing to do with about her playing a victim card, about gender equality. it has nothing to do with that. >> okay. -- let's just say she was a bad candidate. he was an even worse candidate, and he won. and you know why? because he didn't have the same types of gender attacks that she did. and he also didn't have a foreign hostile government gunning for him. abby: all right. >> that as, way to go, hillary. abby: ultimately, it's about who goes to the polls and who votes.

anything but simple. so i had an important conversation with my dermatologist about humira. he explained that humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. in clinical trials, most adults taking humira were clear or almost clear, and many saw 75% and even 90% clearance in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. .. clskin is possible.
