leland: im leland vittert at arlington national cemetery as we all take a moment to say thank you to those who gave the last full measure of devotion. as you would imagine, this study may rain is not keeping those families that the folks who are buried here from joining their loved ones this weekend really quite simply the only place they can be together. elizabeth: quite a solemn weekend we appreciate you are there. i am trained for. welcome to a special "america's news hq" live from washington. president trump is back at the white house tweeting and taking on the quote fake news. the president landed on american soil last night after a nine-day overseas trip capped off with a speech to u.s. service members stationed in italy. the president has a busy week ahead is in a growing list of policy and political challenges. kristen fisher has the latest from the white house. reporter: now the president trump is in washington, and an all-out assault against the

leakers within the federal government. leaks about the russia investigation and links about the manchester bombing, which as we all know infuriated the british government. president trump said on twitter this morning, quote, it is my opinion that many leaks out of the white house are fabricated lies made up by the fake news media. and not only is president trump tweeting about it, but his surrogates and cabinet members are talking about it today across the nation owes good homeland security john kelly followed by newt gingrich. >> it is outrageous. i don't know why people do it. it jeopardizes not only investigations, but puts people's lives in jeopardy. i don't know why people do it, but they do. that is the world we live in. >> people who violate the secrecy act sought to go to jail. what happened with the manchester example undermined the british investigation, weakened our relationship to

allies and is dangerous. whoever leaked that should go to jail. you start putting a few people in jail, you'll see the leaks dry up dramatically. reporter: this is the most vocal sign of what is happening behind the scenes pit the building of a white house war room to aggressively counter all of these leaks and all of the negative stories stemming from the russian investigation. all of this has the white house continues to try to move forward its domestic agenda. this weakness in our public and will struggle to come up with their version of the health care bill. you've also got congress considering the president's budget that both republicans and democrats have essentially said it that on arrival and president trump has said he will decide this week whether or not to pull out of the paris climate accord. one more thing, don't forget president trump's donates to name a new direct her to the fbi to replace jim comey.

elizabeth: busy week ahead. joining us now for murder break this all down, josh meyer, senior investigative reporter with "politico." thank you for joining us. first and foremost, i want to talk about the fact we've heard from national security advisor h.r. mcmaster this morning on "fox news sunday." he said it's not something that concerned him, that talk about never came to fruition the back channel between the u.s. and russians. i saw a political article that listed a couple former nsa generals who said they are super involved. what are people supposed to believe here? >> it depends on what was said, depends on the context. henry kissinger served as made the communications with countries and the huge successes in diplomacy is. what is really concerning two

intelligence community members is to talk about using a foreign government communications channels. >> that's what you're concerned about. the intentions are talks of any system of syria. more apologist takes is that your reporting? >> we know what they're talking about. one of the complications here is that jerry kushner is very unusual in terms of a senior white house adviser but with notes. on this kind of stuff. he may have just not known what you're supposed to do, not suppose to do it might've been very well-intentioned. the fact that there's concerned he was trying to be secretive about it and keep communications away from people in the u.s. government, people just want to know what happened. we haven't heard any response. >> some of the articles, church pastor and others under scrutiny.

the fbi cast a very wide this is a huge investigation. when they read that, this is strong terms we are using, but really they have a lot of work to do. you have to look at everybody. do not let you know, this could take years to do. a lot of familiarity with dozens of interviews and a lot of records to look at. when you get a lot of leaks like this, it raises questions about what they're looking at, whether they are going to look at it. this is something that's coming out of the investigation. it is an issue i think and again it is what might've been set, what was contemplated if it was just the way to establish communications with the foreign government. some of that you are supposed to wait until after administration takes over.

they will establish summer of communications. it all depends on the details. elizabeth: we heard from homeland security secretary john kelly, some very tough words for viewers at home, how are you able to nail down lakes. you may have someone in the obama administration, someone in the white house who's got a good relationship with the reporter, so many unknowns here. how do they begin to tackle the leaks? they are back when they get down to the nitty-gritty, congress is back in a couple days. they have to get to work. >> you keep hearing the term deep state, which is the sort of permanent government in terms of national security. some of the leaks are coming from there. people feel like their decades of experience they haven't seen in the administration, trump administration is different. a lot of people have no experience in government.

they are doing things that people haven't seen before. some infrastructure. the factions than the white house ought to get each other and backstabbing. somebody may be trying to set jared kushner. that is why you have to be careful when you get this information, who is telling you this and why. but the agenda. >> viewers at home want the administration like everybody else did they want to see some results. thank you for breaking this down to this down. we'll see if anything comes to fruition. we will see. thank you so much. we appreciate it. coming up, john kelly at the mention of big sur chris wallace about russia, church kushner in keeping our country safe. "fox news sunday" starts right after "america's news hq" right here on fox news. leland: tomorrow is memorial day, but today is rolling thunder.

we can hear the thunder here at arlington to remember those who never made it home. right now the 30th annual fight for freedom to honor prisoners of war and service members who are still missing in action of whom there are many. gary tenney as along the ride route and hopefully we will be able to use hear it over the harley. >> i've got to tell you you would be hard pressed to find a more preacher out of crowley. thousands of people still lining the streets to cheer on the writers who are paying respects were the men and women who died in service of our country. they expect as many as 900,000 motorcycles to take part in today's event. for a lot of folks, this has become an annual event. they come from every state in the nation, traveling or days to get here.

you will find out every person has their own reason and their own story. >> the armed forces and forgotten pows, mias come important to me with family members in vietnam. >> today is a very important day for us because it's not about service. by remembering are falling. >> is a tribute to the veterans. i'm a vietnam vet. we don't forget where we stand, where were going and it's the best place memorial day weekend. >> organizers are very clear that even after 30 years, this is a demonstration to get the attention of lawmakers on capitol hill to raise awareness on veteran issues. this year, veterans have come from all over the world to take part in this effort as far away as australia and the netherlands to support their fellow veterans in december.

shoulder were so many from the war on terror are buried. some of those who served with. there is a price for keeping people up at night. but as the balance for this administration? >> this administration is to make sure they have good strategies and keep key commanders that make good recommendations. those in the defense community, everyday is memorial day, so we need to make sure we take care of their needs and have good strategies before we go into foreign engagements. >> we've certainly seen enormous change in rhetoric in the past 120 days since president trump was inaugurated. we have seen a change also in the view towards america's military. live pictures of rolling thunder. have we seen a change at her veterans feeling that difference are the troops doing the difference yet where are the good deed still to come? >> the competences they are. just sort of holding them up,

acknowledging their story, the engagements they've had, all administrations have a bipartisan issue, but there is a thrust of confidence and we've got a lot of work still to do in the veteran community. we are in a good place right now. leland: where is the work still to be done? >> would indicate calibrating the assessment. we still have health issues and issues with the va we are working through. we do have a supportive public and there's more work to be done. we are in a good spot right now. leland: as he sat in the military, everyday is the moral day for no other reason than everyday he realized a couple of buddies who weren't there. folks who went to war with who are no longer with us. you i'm sure will walk some of these rows after we are done. would you say? what do you think about? >> there's many organizations that do a lot of good work.

supporting the organizations in voices heard from an advocacy perspective. also for memorial day, those who serve together at this happy moments as well. we reflect on our service and it's an important day for the community. leland: what strikes me from walking along these rows is how times is not necessarily all fallen. parents come to be with their children. there's kids coming to be with their fathers. as you watch them, there's interaction with their family members. >> is divine. military service to connect with those people. you learn a lot and build skills for their life for moving on. there is the aspect in giving back, but there's the moment to come together. it is always a special moment for veterans on memorial day and veterans day in particular. leland: for veterans and those they have fought to preserve the

freedoms of all of us. appreciate your service and advice today and your work on behalf of all these folks both living and dead who have served. elizabeth: coming up in our nation's capitol continues to honor the men and women who gave their lives for our country is memorial day weekend. we will tell you about a group is working to see every grave at the military cemeteries across the country is not gotten. we will explain. the big dance of last week's deadly terror attack in manchester, england are being remembered at a run today as investigators continue to follow these. rick leventhal is there on the ground. >> k. elizabeth on this first sunday after the attack on the menu were attending church services to pray for the big guns come into this memorial. the latest on the investigation and how manchester is coping coming up. so, kinda like your second husband.

>> i think of generations of young people on both sides of the atlantic were growing up in peace and prosperity. with no experience in the horror and destruction of war, it might be difficult for them to understand why we need to keep a

strong military deterrent to prevent war and to preserve freedom and democracy. the answer is here among the defiant. >> president george h.w. bush paying tribute to the fallen a generation ago in what now seems like simpler times. today's threats requires a constant battle against terror. many who died at the pentagon on 9/11, the beginning of the war nearly 16 years ago are buried behind me. manchester, england is now going about burying those killed in that city's most deadly terror attack. rick leventhal live in manchester on the first sunday after the suicide bombing there. >> is somber and respect the atmosphere as his powerful memorial behind it grows larger by the minute and the people

come here to cause an reflect and pay respects and struggle to cope and understand how this could've happened. one british official said this morning the remainder of the scale of the problems they are facing with isis westernizing young people in a society and that's what they say happened here. a 22-year-old joe cool kid radicalized to the point he was willing and able to build a bomb in fact i can detonate outside the manchester rain on monday night. police releasing these new pictures before he blew himself up and killed 22 others injured more than 100. another raid and arrest today. 12 men now in custody who may be part of a network, but there were thousands of others on their watchlist. manchester cancer returned to normalcy within and around kicking off this morning. at 10 k. and a half marathon started with a moment of silence and was surrounded by far greater security than normal. church services took on new importance on the first sunday after the attack at saint ann's

elizabeth: president trump is back in d.c. today after his

first trip abroad in office. bush applauded the success many may be overshadowed by trouble on the homefront. let's homefront. the spring and are our fair and balanced panel, the cochair of the great american alliance who is the ceo of dnc global and co-author of the leadership campaign. thank you for joining us. so much to talk about. i want to start with you. so many headlines presenile week revolving around report with anonymous sources on top of a slew of leaks. how does the white house does the white casket back and press the reset button? >> i know people have talked about this trip overseas. one of the first for modern-day america president who started in saudi arabia and other places in the middle east. that was very successful. we got a new arms deal with saudi arabia and waverley set the tone to defeat pacers. one thing we cannot unite on whether it's russia, other countries in the middle east, israel, saudi arabia need to

come together and defeat pacers. that shouldn't overshadow a domestic agenda he's been pushing forward since he's been elected and they shouldn't allow anything else to distract pushing toward what he ran on such as creating more jobs. he's great at 550,000 jobs since he's become president. they've gone up close to 3000 points. what you are seeing here is a president that's god his honeymoon period is over. we've seen successes here in the united states but also abroad. trades will want to bring you in because eric said he's coming off a positive tone that he wants to get back to this domestic agenda. do you think it that simple? >> at never that simple. eric is largely right. it was a successful trip. i agree with speaker boehner. he was much for successful in the foreign-policy front in the domestic front. the trip was a success. i give it to be. the saudi speech was strong. he stayed on a script. we have big questions about the

$100 billion oil deal. they came from saudi arabia and the country gets a lot of money to radical terrorism including a face. we have to make sure it's not a saudi middle east but rather u.s. middle east policy. in israel, it's a shame he mentioned the naming issue in front of benjamin netanyahu. the summit was good, i think some missed opportunities to support article v and they should stay in the paris accord by the way. it's not mandatory. the message to the domestic front. domestically, it almost to congress and congress, congress, congress. he's had trouble on the domestic front. health care. >> he needs to rein in congress. there's been so much focus on the russian investigation. a lot of voters are seamless in, we want to see movement on health care. we want to know more of the cbo report in the senate come up with something. we went to see tax restructure command infrastructure deal. they want all these things.

i'm not sure we'll see that by the end of summer. >> here's the thing. he was low in the box is inside of washington d.c., you're right. we passed health care through the house announced to the senate and we expect our senate and congressional leaders to act. all he can do is set the agenda on what he ran on. we need leadership that comes from within on both sides of the republican and democratic aisle. donald trump has set the tone not only overseas. elizabeth: how does he do that when even this morning he was tweeting he was tweedy knockabout fakeness and lakers. we don't know who those flickers are and where they are coming from. obviously topic of conversation if he is tweeting about it. >> i will tell you how. elizabeth: how? >> is destroyed his presidency. >> you could argue that's how he got elected. >> yeah, but we can argue that doesn't work once elected.

the crisis unit being put in place in the white house is the really good stuff. it won't work unless there's increased transparency and it gives thrown off every time it's not going to work. eric and i agree he's going to have to move to the center and get both parties on board for infrastructure tax reform. that donald trump can lead to accomplish some of the things we're both talking about today. >> i combat it from from a different angle. i think he ran on a certain agenda, really a trump coalition. not a ceiling he had from the republican base. he reaches 100 million people in bypassing the washington establishment which includes the mainstream media. donald trump leads and he led many years on the business front and now he's leaving on the political front. we expect or other leaders to follow his lead or the trump coalition is weaker than one party and will he see that in the next few days.
