we have a lot of media news every week to get in and we try to shove in as much as we can. back here next sunday, see you. >> don't forget those who have served. thank you. >> president trump is back on u.s. soil and going after the media already. this is the week he begins a new round of the white house chang changes. the president and first lady arrived after a world when nine days abroad last night. president trump sticking to his america first agenda, pressing for leaders on defense spending and trade. at home, a major staff overhaul is in the works. we have word of that coming up this week. the president is vowing to deal

with those also rapidfire reporting on the russian investigation and jared kershner. this is notable, the secretary of homeland security says if that is accurate, it does not bother him. >> i don't know if it's true or not. i know it's being reported in the press. >> it was confirmed that the conversation took place. >> i would just tell you, chris, i think any channel of communication with a country like russia is a good thing. harris: he is not the only one that feels that way. how does the administration move forward with its mastic agenda? according to newt gingrich it's a matter of shutting out the noise.yñ?ñ? >> one of the great test of the trump team will be can they stick in their world and ignore

everyone on the other side. they just had a remarkably successful trip. they were disciplined and strategic and stayed on message. i hope they will be focused on jobs, health, infrastructure, tax cuts and basically shove to the side all of the garbage. harris: kristin fisher is reporting live. a big week for the president. post this big trip, it is an important time. >> white -- right now the white house is focused on mounting a defense. they are building a white house z÷8 n-÷á=dûk%%rê+=fjkbñ3 president's legal team led by trump attorney. he was actually here at the

white house today along with ivanka trump. he was hired as the personal attorney in the ongoing russia probe. the fact that on the president's first full day back goes to show how high a priority this is for the white house. another priority, containing the leaks. president trump tweeted about it four times today while his targets and cabinet members talked about it across the sunday shows. >> it's outrageous. i don't know why people do it. it jeopardizes the investigation and puts people's lives in jeopardy. i don't know why they do it, but they do. that's the world we live in. >> people who violate the privacy acts should go to jail. what happened with the manchester information undermine the british investigation. it weakened our relationship with our allies and is dangerous. whoever leaked that should go to jail. you start putting some people in jail and you will see the leaks dry up. harris: some very aggressive language and you can expect that to intensify during the russian investigation.

>> prison time tends to solve that issue. we've seen other presidents have to deal with it, but not this much. what's on tap this week. >> he is expected to announce his decision on whether or not to pull out or stay in the paris agreement as well as congress working on crafting a budget. even some republican lawmakers said the presidents budget is essentially dead on arrival. >> typically the senate and the house write their own budget, but it does reflect the presidents goals. i actually agree with the goals but would take a different approach. >> 29% reduction in state department funding, that takes our power off the table. everything we've done to eradicate aids is compromised. our ability to helplin jordan ae ukraine and the baltic nations has really been severely limited.

destroying self power does not make it safer. that's what his budget does. >> one more thing to watch for, president trump still needs to name a new fbi director. he came very close to naming a report placement before he left on his first foreign trip. that announcement could come this week. harris: you mentioned the paris agreement, and maybe the white house, with word that they would consider seeing if this could work that they keep the agreement and work to change it from inside. we know this is not a president who backs away from a challenge. it will be interesting to see if he stays in it or gets out. thank you very much. let's get to the latest on the investigation and russia ties. i remind you, democrats on the hill have said time and time again there is no evidence of ties between the former trump campaign in russia but the headline in prime time said to secretary does not know if the reports are true.

they do not know if they proposed a secret back channel with the kremlin but he would not criticize any channels of communication with countries like russia. let's get more on the news from washington. >> the white house is staying very quiet when it comes to the most recent reports on jared kushner and his contacts with the russian ambassador. the secretary john kelly did talk about it on fox news sunday. he doesn't know if the allegations are true, but if they are he's fine with it. >> multiple ways to communicate back and forth is a good thing with any country, particularly a country like russia. it doesn't bother me. >> before he took office trump made a proposal that would bypass diplomatic channels. according to the washington post, the president's son-in-law and top advisers suggested setting up a secret channel between the transition team and moscow and using diplomatic

facilities in russia to do it. there are other reports suggesting kushner failed to disclose at least two phone calls with the russian ambassador that took place between april and november of last year. kershner's attorney told fox news he participated in thousands of phone calls and has no recollection of the calls as described. the dnc said he his security clearance needs to be suspended. the top democrat on the house intelligence committee says it needs to be reviewed. >> we need to get to the bottom of the allegations butb of his security clearance to find out whether he was truthful and candid. if not there's no way he can maintain that clearance. >> it's worth noting the russians are known to spread false information on channels they believe the u.s. is monitoring in an effort to confuse whoever is listening. harris: thank you. the fox report interview has two

friends, opposite sides of the political aisle and they have strong thoughts on how president trump can control the narrative of a domestic agenda now that he is home inside the united states. keep watching. they may not exactly act like friends. dealing with confirmation that communist north korea has fired a short range ballistic missile. this information is still coming together but according to u.s. specific command, it flew for six minutes before splashing down into the sea of japan. it is the latest in a string of launches. the north is pursuing a nuclear missile capable of targeting the u.s. mainland. the country is thought to still be several years away from the goal but they keep doing these launches. more news as we get it on this one. please tell me domestic disputes and crimes are the most unpredictable and dangerous. i take you to roll mississippi, a community in shock after multiple shootings left eight people dead including two children. police arrested a man who they say confessed to killing his

victims at three separate homes overnight. he only stopped when he iran out of bullets. >> the community is torn apart. everyone in this community knows one another. i don't know how to put it into words. i'm speechless. i never would dream this would happen in our small community. we live in a community where everyone helps everyone. i wouldn't be afraid to leave my doors open at night. harris: will car is here. do we know what led to the shooting? >> harris, they were pretty outspoken after he murdered eight people in three locations. when it was all said and done he told a local reporter he wanted to die. >> what's next for you? >> i iran out of bullets.

>> it's hard to hear but he said death was next and his intention was to be shot and killed. instead he was taken into custody. while he was sitting in handcuffs, he spoke about the massacre and about killing the deputy. >> i asked him about the family he had left fatherless and he basically apologized multiple times for having done that, but like i said, he just considered deputy to have just been the one that showed up. he allegedly said everything started with an argument over custody with his kids and there are still a lot of questions but he now faces seven counts of first-degree murder and one count of capital murder. >> this is such a heartbreaking story. among the victims, there was a deputy who was killed. >> he was a proud father and a husband who loved working with

kids. the deputy served as a local youth minister and also enjoyed putting on puppet shows for kids in the area. his loss has devastated the community and the sheriff's department. >> a lot of us have been in shock and out since 1130 last night. we will be out continuing to do our job. we can sit down and go home. we still have a job to do. we have to carry on with it. >> deputy william dürer was 36 years old. harris: thank you. it is police pushing forth with more raids to crush the terror network behind the attack in manchester england at the ariana grande concert. many people turned out for a prayer service.

if you travel with a laptop computer, the feds say they may ban them on u.s. international flights. i'm harris faulkner. this is the fox report. when i first started working with capital one, my dad called them up and asked for "the jennifer garner card" which is such a dad thing to do. after he gave his name the woman from capital one said "mr. garner, are you related to jennifer?" kind of joking with him.

harris: a lot of people like to do work on planes but you may

have to check your laptop if you're flying an international flight into the u.s. it's becoming more difficult for tsa agents to find threats using the normal screening process. that's because passengers are stuffing their carry-on bags more than ever. >> are you going to ban laptops from the cabin on all international flights into and out of the u.s.? >> i might. there is a real threat. there are numerous threats against aviation. that is the thing they are obsessed with, the terrorists, the idea of knocking down an airplane in flight. we will raise the bar for aviation security, much higher than it is now. harris: brian is reporting from times square. if they are obsessed, we've got to get better. >> that's right. good evening to you. security is at the forefront of everyone's mind.

many americans are traveling including here in times square. obviously it's at the forefront of everyone's ppened in manches. even yesterday at newark international, some of the (p< was seen when someone pointed out that someone left a pressure cooker in a brown bag near a trashcan causing a partial evacuation of terminal a. it was not an explosive device, but authorities in and some sources have told the new york post they believe it could have been a dry run. we shall see. security is on everyone's mind. speaking of airport security, john kelly likely will adopt tougher practices nationwide. right now the tsa is trying out these tougher screening processes in ten airports including lax, l.a. and the big concern is passengers will have to start emptying the carry-ons before they get through, during

the checkpoint because they are stuffing them too much. that means it could be harder to find or see explosive devices. >> we are going to raise the bar for aviation security, much higher than it is now. it is a real sophisticated threat and i reserve that decision until we see where it's going. >> part of these increased tsa screenings that are happening at ten u.s. airports include removing large electronic devices, not just your laptop during those checkpoints. that means tablets and e-readers. we verily seen a band instituted in ten airports throughout the middle east. that means all of those flights taking off from those airports

to the united states, those that have devices larger than a cell phone must check them, and you heard john kelly said they could very well expand the entire electronic device band to include all international flights to and from the u.s. we spoke to tourists in times square to see how they feel. we even caught up with someone visiting new york city from manchester. >> a little bit nervous and manchester is a bit scary at this moment. we are a little uneasy. >> you get a little more anxious when you go to the bigger places like times square when you look out for many things, but then you see the presence of the police and everyone and that gives you a little rest. >> nothing more reassuring than seeing the nypd. harris: that's for sure. i know people want to be comfortable, but great things never come from comfort zones. we have to change and do what we have to do. thank you. british airways working to get back to normal after a global it

failure grounded tens of thousands of people. they blame a power supply issue, not a cyber attack when it had to ground all flights out of two major airports. they are offering a full refund with the option to rebook by november. one airport is at a near normal schedule. the other is resuming the majority of services. this memorial day weekend, motorcyclists are in washington d.c. calling on the government to bring those missing in action or held as pows home. >> the inspiring scene. stay with us.

hundreds of thousands of bikers rumbled into our nation's capital to honor and raise awareness for prisoners of war as those missing and action. rolling thunder in its 30th year. they join us from the nations capital with the latest read this is one of my favorite holiday themes. it's so moving. >> organizers say even after 30 years each one seems to be bigger than the last. they estimate as many as 900,000 riders took place in today's ride for freedom. they went from the pentagon to the national mall and we were set up near the lincoln memorial. the first bike came by a little afternoon. it wasn't until three and a half hours later that the final

riders passed by. a lot of them spent the past few days traveling across the country to be here. all 50 states were represented and those from other countries came out as well. they are veterans, goldstar families and just proud americans who each have their own reason for coming. >> we are here to support the armed forces and all those forgotten pows and mias. it's very important to me. i have family members who were in vietnam. today is a very important day for us. it's not about thanking service, it's remembering our fallen. >> it's a tribute to the veterans. i'm a vietnam vet and we can't forget where we've been and where were going. it's the best place to be memorial day weekend. >> their main goal is to continue to push congress on

veteran issues such as the va and recovering the remains of those who died abroad. one thing we kept hearing today was that nothing says memorial day like the sound of thunder from a motorcycle. after being there it's hard to disagree. harris: i know there were some storms in d.c. and the ride was getting started a little bit later. i don't think it impacted thin things, correct. >> i think it would be hard-pressed to find a more patriotic crowd of people on memorial day weekend in this one. you have to remember this is not just some parade. organizers call it a demonstration. you can see, even with the rain, thousands of people were lining the streets to cheer them on and pay their respects to those who have sacrificed and at one time when the rain was really coming down, one veteran who served in vietnam came by and said this isn't so bad. it rained five times as hard in vietnam. that is very fitting because it was actually vietnam veterans who started rolling thunder 30 years ago to ensure for future soldiers came back to the welcome they deserved. >> we don't want the american

public to ever demonstrate against our troops again and treat them like they treated us. you can demonstrate against the war butc >> that's what they want their legacy to be, making things better for the future generations of those who fight to protect our freedom. harris: thank you very much. we want you to share your pride on social media using # proud american. please include pictures if you can. president trump is back and taking on fake news. rapidfire reports on russia and republican majorities that may not be fully on board with his domestic agenda. is the white house staff in need of an overhaul? a fair and balanced base?

>> in 2000 when i was deployed and we were overseas on a peacekeeping mission. when 911 happened we were at a point we didn't know if they were going to send us to afghanistan to a new war or send us back home as part of our rotation. they flew us to virginia beach. when we landed and came back to america for the first time, seeing the flags on every house, on every street and the boulevard, that's when i realized i will reenlist to fight for this country. share your pride on fac

white house staffers reportedly bracing for a major overhaul and some may be looking forward to it as the administration looks to revamp the media strategy and weed out some leakers. let's bring in doug schon, former advisor to bill clinton. i said earlier this will be a big fox report interview with two friends, but you might not act like friends by the time it's over. let's get the niceties going. i want to talk a little bit about what needs to happen in this next week with the staff. >> the president has a huge medications problem. it is the republican party that has not been firing on all cylinders.

we've watched the message battle with the democrats. when we go out and can't get our message through that we are achieving results for the american people and democrats are getting the message that we are not, that's a problem. what we need to do is have not only the white house have president trump go out and say what his goals are and how it helps the american people and tell the stories of the american people. >> but you have a medications department. you have a white house press secretary. are those the areas you think need to change? is the bigger issue the leaders. >> i think we have to change who is on camera for briefing. i am sure doug will agree with me. >> i don't know a democrat -- will go ahead. >> this is a much more serious problem than my good friend evan suggests. we've got serious legal problems with the issues relating to the russia investigation. the report friday night that jerrod kushner was setting up his own potential back channel.

>> so the homeland security secretary has no problem with that but as a country we need to be talking about that. >> the fbi may have another view. we also have the ongoing issues relating to general flynn, paul manafort and that bucket, but also, there is the substance. i think evan would understand that when you are trimming almost $1 trillion for medicare, 23 million people potentially being cut out of healthcare when food stamps are going to be eviscerated, when social security. >> so were talking about us substance problem. >> you are talking about some of the things found in the cbo score last week and what some are looking at and being critical of a bill that has to still go through the senate and back to the house. >> it's never going to get through the senate. >> i'm looking at what's been publicly reported.

>> the messaging wars that is a complete disaster. they need to go on offense and say no, were doing it because of this and they need to show americans who've been hurt. >> so he's been out of the country for nine days. this was an opportunity for people in your country to step up and take over that messaging. why didn't it happen. don't republicans have this presence back. >> they have their own back at the end of the day. >> what they are looking at, they have not had any legislative accomplishment that has come out but they can go back to their districts and say vote for me because i did something. >> if what you say is true, they have their own back before this president, what is the midterm election season going to look like. >> very bad. even with the two special elections we've held where republicans did win but much closer than it had been previously, that is looking at 35 - 50 more seats that the democrats will pick up if that margin translates.

harris: that's a long way away. whatever the saying is that the president can control the message by changing the messengers, if you will. anyone else you've looked out outside communications. >> i would look at achieving results through tax or reform. >> wall street is poised. have you seen. >> they absolutely are anticipating this. if we get tax reform in now, what will happen is the economy will be firing on all cylinders. >> but you can't cut taxes for the wealthiest and expect -- >> you can cut taxes for all americans. >> you can't cut taxes for the wealthiest and expect to get any democratic vote. harris: what about the corporate tax. that should be an area everyone agrees. >> it is but they haven't taken it out and put it aside. that would've been a very good initiative. plgací

bit about mr. trump. he has his own attorney. >> is a very good lawyer. no evidence of any collusion. i feel like i want to learn how to say that in several different languages because we hear it coming out of democrats on the hill. they are looking, but there's evidence. >> we have plenty of time and issues and people to investigate before we reach a conclusion. >> are you as concerned about the leakers? that puts our national security at risk immediately. >> of course i am, but i'm also concerned about the back channels to the russians and about what general flynn did and all of that. >> if it is in fact true that jared kushner would reach out to do something like that and the homeland security secretary said he had no problem with that, wouldn't that signify there was

not collusion? why would you need a back channel with the kremlin if in fact you already had several established. it's just a question. i know neither of you can answer it. >> have you heard what andrea merkel just said, that europe should not be able to count on others, she is alluding to and implying, talking about brexit and perhaps president trump. what is europe going to do without us. >> i actually come down, and i think what's happening now is music to the ears of vladimir putin. he has been longing to drive a wedge between the united states and europe for decades, and what we can do is reaffirm our commitment to europe by president trump saying if your house is ever on fire because you're my friend, i will come and help you and that would be away. >> he's 100% right. what donald trump missed was to affirm the importance of article

five that says an attack on one nation is an attack on us all. you can been more correct. vladimir putin was the big winner of the nato summit. >> okay so you want to talk about article five, i thought it was critically important, it looks like a little statuesque response when the president was speaking. the 23 of 28 who aren't paying their fair share, it's time that that happened. would you want them to agree to art article five before delivering on that message. >> yes because it was invoked after 911. we went into afghanistan to get al qaeda. harris: you don't think he would step up. >> i hope you would. harris: he would love to get isis. >> we all would and we have to remember there was momentum behind the scene to get more payments, especially on germany's part. president trump is so unpopular in germany, when he did it publicly it forest andrea merkel to pull back and oppose him in

public. harris: they had women who had to buy more pepper spray than they could bring into the country and they were pointing to some of those in the community who might be on a terrorist watchlist or fall into that kind of area. it's hard to believe merkel would be more upset with our presidents than she is at the terrace in her country. >> i can tell you she has been steadfast in working to eliminate terror in germany, but we have long-standing alliances with the germans and the french an article five is at the core of our defense. more important than any single treaty or agreement we have. unless that's reaffirmed, the division of the united states in europe continues and as evan said, vladimir putin sees a divided america as cc with the

investigation. he is the big winner of everything that's gone on. >> you sure do give a lot of credit to him. harris: also in the news, the scud missile that was fired by north korea and landed in the sea of japan. it will be interesting to see the response to that communist nation. >> we are facing an existential threat. harris: the former obama administration just called it favor rattling. >> while they're completely wrong. harris: it's good to see you. i haven't seen you in a while, doug. evan good to see you. hundreds are gathering in manchester england to honor the victims of the deadly terrorist attack. british officials working hard to close in on the suspected terror network with more arrests in just the past few hours in connection with the bombing. the latest on the investigation, stay with us on that.&c0:f o>çç"

it's a very somber and respectful atmosphere here and a very powerful memorial that continues to grow. it's attended by thousands of people throughout this week leaving bouquets of flowers and candles and tribute to the lives lost. one official said the attack is

a reminder of the scale of the problem they are facing with isis weapon rising young people in this society. that's what they think happened here. a local kid radicalized to the point he was willing and able to build a bomb in a backpack and detonated outside the manchester arena. police have released new pictures of him just before he blew himself up and killed 22 others injuring more than 100. there was another raid and arrest this morning and more raids and more people taken into custody this evening. at least 13 men in custody who may be part of the terror network but authorities admit there are thousands of others on jsjxge®xa4pfzeit-psppxg!ta0f bk- normalcy within annual run, a 10k and a marathon. they started with a moment of silence and have your security. church services took on new importance on this first sunday after the attack.

bishops and administers read the names of the lives lost. >> we wanted to have the service altogether and share the emoti emotion. >> as of this morning, of the 116 hurt in the blast, 54 were still being treated at area hospitals and 19 are in critical care with a long road of recovery ahead. harris: thank you very much. before we went to his reporting we mentioned martin hat was one of 22. i want to make clear, 22 total people who died in the attack in manchester england. have you seen this video? a vicious crash at the indy 500. two drivers were able to walk away from this.

harris: many american see the memorial day weekend as the unofficial start to summer. one group wants to make sure we remember the men and women who have died fighting for america. the group called rally point has launched a national effort encouraging all of us to visit the cemetery and put at least one rose on every fallen soldier's grave. we are also getting an inside look at one of the most interesting and coolest teams on the planet, the blue angels. chris wallace talked with the commander of the squad and got an inside look at a squad that's been reaching great heights for more than a half-century. >> it's focused on that very precise control of the airplane and flying it to the best of your ability and you think ahead what's next. reporter: he is commander of the blue and angels, a precision flight squad. he is in the number one jet leading his team through intricate maneuvers at up to 70. the planes are sometimes just 1. they were in the area to perform at the u.s. naval academy and we

got to go inside their operation. >> is there a lot of talking going on. >> there is a lot of talking. i'm always calling a cadence for every turn, every poll, every power change. on that go, all six sticks move in unison. when all that gets going, it gets fuzzy. it just takes on this rhythm. you are feeling the fuzz. it's crisp and electric. the blue angels were started in 1946 with prop planes to keep up interest in naval aviation after world war ii. now they fly f-18 hornets in dozens of shows each year for more than 11 million spectators

from a cloudy naval academy to a crystal-clear san francisco bay. >> i was always going to be a pilot. >> why? >> the blue angels. >> used to go with his dad to shows every summer. >> i was a kid and i wanted to fly. >> now he has a nickname. >> the wing man will talk to me and they say hey boss. it works and we do it on the ground as well. >> at the end of the show they do a maneuver called a loop break cross. all six planes headed straight up then in six different directions and then back to the center. >> at about 800 knots, so just under a thousand miles per hour and it's sweet when we put all that together. all that's energy and you get it going and it's really sweet, but it's very intense.

>> he has flown combat over iraq and afghanistan compares it to operating off an aircraft carrier. that's the mission of the blue angels, to represent their fellow service members on the frontline. >> it's about the navy marine corps, the forward deployed, they are providing us with the freedom and that's the real wo work. we make people feel something. it is that pride this countryf has in our sailors and marines and we bring it and display it in a way people can connect and see and feel and touch. that is the value of the blue angels harris: great pictures. we will have more pictures from the weekend and what's parked outside on the hudson, import, pretty impressive. we will show you that in a bit. other pictures to show you.

a terrifying crash on the speedway. it overshadowed the rest of the race. >x 53rd lap. you just got this yet. jay howard start smashed into scott dixon sending the car flying before hitting the top of the wall. somehow they were both able to walk away. this year's . .

harris: while remember those who served in parish, there are men and women under the globe doing their job under threat. we got a reminder of that as we took a very to see and invidious assault ship with massive power. we boarded. my second and fourth grade daughters climbed into and out of the hatch on top of the tank. i loved being in front of that attack chopper you saw. we met all sorts of servicemen and women heather: it is monday may 29th, president trump declaring war on fake news media as the administration races to find those responsible for the criminal flow of information. >> i don't know why people do

these kinds of things but it's borderline, if not over the line of treason. heather: we are live in washington with the white house efforts to plug the leaks. >> fox news alert tensions escalating even higher as the rogue nation fires off a third missile, why the situation can turn into a catastrophic conflict. >> turn two. trouble, o my goodness, what a huge crash. heather: whoa, unbelievable moment, indy 500 car flies look at that through the air ripping in half and somehow the driver manages to walk away. look at that. ♪ ♪

>> it is 5:00 a.m., good morning to you, you are watching "fox & friends first". very special monday morning. i'm rob schmit. heather: we begin with president trump issuing memorial day proclamation urging the country and media to unit in prayer. rob: also the president slamming media over constant leaks of the white house and their reporting of them. griff jenkins with the president's fiery tweets? griff griff clearly he missed twitter while away. first the president issuing a unique proclamation calling for, quote, a day of prayer permanent peace
