says he wasn't able to because there wasn't sufficient time to fully secure nat park. so he made this video message. >> playing tonight, you are showing the world we will not be intimidated by threats, acts of violence, or assaults on our democracy. on this special night, i leave you with three great american words that for generations have torn down barriers, built bridges of unity, and defied those who have sought to pull us apart. ladies and gentlemen, let's play ball. >> in fact, one of the capitol police officers that was injured in the shooting threw out the opening pitch, which you can see there. at this event they also raised money more than a million-dollar for charity. that's more than double that was raised last year. ivanka trump also presented a $50,000 check from the friends in the trump administration. in the end, democrats won 11-2. after they were presented the

winning trophy, they gave it back to the republicans who are going to put it back in congressman scalise's office who remains in critical condition at the hospital. back to you. steve: kristin fisher live at the white house. it was so inspiring to see hero special agent david bailey out there. ainsley: wasn't that great? steve: he walked out to the mound on crutches because he had been shot. and then he put down one crutch. kept one and then he made it to home plate. ainsley: it was nice to see the items and th dems and the rs come together. whether it will last, we will see. democrats and republicans were out there on the field praying together. steve: they were at second base that's steve schees' steve. pete: dems are better baseball players. not even close. steve: republicans won last year.

pete: did they really? ainsley: they needed scalise. steve: you had a really rotten week. pete: you look at what happened at second base and look at the prayer and all of us say that's what america should look like. you want that. the hope is that can continue. the track record of this congress and the rhetoric you have seen lead to us believe maybe it's a one night only. steve: sure. ainsley you mentioned nancy pelosi wearing lsu cap. he he. ainsley: and a t-shirt. steve: yesterday she was complaining about the republicans. we have got the stage with the hateful rhetoric in america but the republicans started it laura ingraham was on last night and seth the record straight about that. >> my spirit that's all great. but, you know and i know and i think most people watching fox and most people who are

sentient human beings know what game they have been playing for a long, long time. this has been going on long before donald trump. remember condoleezza rice what they said about her? she was a house slave? remember what they said about collin powell? he is in the house of the master? they were doing assassinations plays about ronald reagan years ago. this has been going on now amplified by a deranged left wing media that is completely off the rails. and enjoying somewhat of a renaissance during this period. they are making money off of it. they are certainly not condemning the type of speech that maxine waters and the dnc chair and respected celebrities are engaging in. pete: so well said. steve: the rhetoric has got to change. everybody agreeing to that yesterday. the dave unity. the question going forward is will the rhetoric change in hollywood and in the media and on campus and on the public

square in social media. of course in washington ted nugent was on wabc radio yesterday. ted nugent has said strong things about democrats in the past. pete: you think? steve: you know what? we have hit the stage, it's time for him to change. the big question is will the other side follow. listen. >> i think we have reached critical mass. i tend to agree, you and i had a bit of a confrontation because of some of the language i have used. i just can't use those harsh terms. i cannot and i will not and i encourage even my friend/enemy on the left in the democrat, liberal world that we have got to be civil to each other. that the whole world is watching america, where you have the god given right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and we have got to be more respectful to the other side. ainsley: good for him. pete: have you to be willing

to clean your own house to make sure you are not stepping over a line. the problem generally speaking, it hasn't been a problem on the right the way it has been on the left. that's the right's sentiment. i think all of us can acknowledge that make sure we're responsible about what we say. this is where the left police their own. will they go to the comedians. steve: will they call them out? will they call out comedy central. pete: depicting violence and assassination not okay. ainsley: shakespeare in the park, kathy griffin, need to stop. steve: let us know what you think friends@foxnews.com or facebook or tweet us. on the president's birth day. it's hey look the president is under investigation by the special counsel for obstruct of justice. cited unnamed sources that's always the case, yesterday they followed it up with jared kushner the president's son-in-law his business dealings are under scrutiny as

skeptical about anonymous allegations. the department of justice has a long established policy to neither confirm nor deny such allegations. pete: think about that, the country a government official. ainsley: he is suggesting maybe russia is coming up with headlines or leaks information. we don't know the sources. steve: wait, are you saying russia is colluding with the "the washington post"? [laughter] not so fast, you should question. if you saw a name you could believe it. pete: could be fake news. steve: it's 6:11 now in new york city. jillian: happy friday to you guys. to you at home as well. let's begin with breaking news as well. abu al baghdadi and 30 isis commanders died in air strike in the syrian city of raqqa late last month. the top military spokesman in baghdad tells fox news they have no evidence to support russia's claims.

a state of unresponsive wakefulness. that's what doctors say about the condition of otto warmbier, the american student just freed from north korea. that update coming as otto's father thanks the trump administration and takes a shot at the obama administration for not securing his release sooner. take a look. >> the past administration could have done more. i think the results speak for themselves. we're also thankful to rex tillerson and president trump. they wanted otto home and i believe -- cindy and i believe they made this happen. we are thankful for that. jillian: doctors still don't know the cause of the 22-year-old's condition or if he he will recover. in just a few hours, the president will head to miami expected to announce changes to obama era policies with cuba. flights and crews t cruises mayl be allied but travel restrictions tightened. trying to block business deals

it was a touching moment to start the professional baseball game as capital police officer david bailey who helped stop wednesday's attack on the republican team helped throw out the first pitch. it's coming up right here.

in another moving moment, democrats and republicans huddled up for a prayer at second base. steve scalise's position before the start of the game. big question on this friday morning, can that spirit of unity go beyond baseball? here to discuss is tennessee congressman and baseball team member chuck fleischmann. chuck, good morning to you. how did you do last night? >> i did pretty well. i scored a run. my manager told me i'm still the fastest man on the team, so at almost 55 i will take that before we start i want to say hi to my dear friend steve scalise. steve, i love you, i miss you. we were thinking about you last night. all of america was with you and the other folks who were injured and shot america began its healing process last night and you led the way. steve: indeed. well put, congressman, thank you very much. you know what? as people look in on this friday morning they are going okay, that was a great night in national park and great to see nancy pelosi and speaker

ryan and pich an and mitch and k together last night. where do we go from here? is anything going to change? >> i hope. so let's face it, america is the greatest nation in the world because of our diversity. i'm a conservative republican. and i represent a wonderful district in east tennessee with people with good, strong conservative values i realize other parts of the nation have dinner views on the role of government. in fact, where america's role is in the world. i do think. this once we have elects, we have elected a president donald trump and vice president mike pence. we have elected a senate and a congress, we do need to work together on the big issues. let me give you some specifics. steve: okay. >> i believe eted last administration really messed up healthcare. obamacare called the affordable care act is falling apart. it was flawed from the inception. we need truth from both sides.

republicans and democrats to say this thing is flawed. it's broken, it's got to go away. having said that we have got a duty to replace it with something that's going to benefit the vast majority of americans. as we go through that debate, i'm a fervent believer in the first amendment and all of our amendments, the second amendment, the bill of rights. we have to remember that there will be charged rhetoric and there will be strong opinions. once we come to a resolution. once we we involve these issues. we have got to keep our mind on the big picture. and that is keeping america moving forward. keeping america truly great. keeping americans safe, and keeping our place in the world as it is number one. steve: well put. all right, congressman. thank you very much for joining us today. the day after you got 50% of the republican runs last night at that the park. >> i wish we had won. i tip my hat to the democrats that played a good game. but america won last night. steve: they did, indeed. we did. chuck fleischmann, republican

but at certain points you put down your gun and you ran into the kill zone and in some cases you ran the length of a football field where there was crossfire and you could have been shot and killed nine different times. you went into the kill zone nine different times and you saved 10 different men. >> yes, sir. that's the biggest reward that i have. i would never demean the medal of honor. but having saved those 10 thrives that's the biggest reward i have. they enjoyed a full life and have taken up all kinds of services in the civilian world. and i am so proud that i was able to do that. ainsley: have you kept in touch with the men that you saved, those 10? >> i have -- we walked out with 32 men. we went in with 89. we had 12 killed. one missing in action. and 44 were either injured

todd: head over to steve. thank you for your service to this country. >> thanks for coming. todd: thanks for having us. you look through it through the prism of the courts. why are the courts an issue for you? >> because obama lowered the vetting for simple majority. what they did is packed the courts with judges with liberal policies. so the law is not being interpreted by the law and what the law is. it's being interpreted by, you know, political means. todd: what do you want to see happen? >> they need to put a lot more conservative judges in for one. and trump needs to step up to the plate. i love his tweets but i'm tired of the whining about crooked hillary. if he real really think she is crooked and the clintons and all those things, he needs to go to the distance. todd: you mentioned to me earlier you leave the president but tirstd tweets. tell me about that.

this moment in time. my question this morning, knowing that facebook has a policy that says we will remove any sort of kind of threatening language, and certainly we know as of may 21est, the guardian reported a leaked document that is the guidelines for 4500 of the facebook moderators and what we learned from that is that especially when it comes to a head of state, they will take action. let me read the line sitting there again. is this a threatening line? it's time destroy trump and company. pete: i would think so. >> if i said it's time to destroy an aircraft. it's time to destroy an animal. wouldn't you think that should take action against that? how come this sat there weeks upon weeks upon weeks? so here's my question. had facebook done what they said they would do, in protecting us online, and had they seen, this removed it,

and notified proper authorities, in this case the secret service would any of the incidents that happened nearly almost 48 hours ago to this moment have happened? pete: kurt, do you think this is a volume problem? is there so much rhetoric out there and so much of it crosses the line facebook just can't keep up? >> no. i think what we have a money machine and a social network that owns the world in terms of social media and has captivated the world. they don't own the fact that they're the dominant force of voices in americans and the world. and in doing so, this is a peppering, a little teeny tiny thing that they could be doing. but even to have software that i'm sure they have and by the way, they won't reveal their methodology. their software can pick up a word that says a negative word or dangerous action word and another name such as the president's name and that would bring it to somebody's attention you would think, or

you and i can go there and flag that did no one really flag that? and then i will leave you with this. i have sat here for almost three years and i have said and i have been critical of facebook. i have pinted out the good. i have pointed out the bad. i will tell you something to the people at facebook, you are on notice. i will tell you right now, i'm aware, my social media team has brought to my attention that my own views, the algorithm that facebook uses is now showing my content a lot less. they are putting it down. so it won't change me reporting here, facebook. you will still hear it on "fox & friends." ainsley: what would be the response if it said it's time to destroy hillary clinton and company? would they have taken it down? >> i don't know. good question. pete: we shouldn't even have a worry of that double standard. kurt, thanks a lot. we appreciate it president trump set to make a major policy announcement today. and kellyanne conway here live and she is going to maybe give us a sense of what we can expect. ainsley: just for time for

pete: there is ribs. if there are ribs, there will be people. ainsley: never too early for ribs. pete: never. diners, plazas, whatever it, it's good. ainsley: it's friday. steve: it is a friday. of course last night was a big night. we had two hours of coverage of the baseball game here on fox. ainsley: record turnout for that congressional baseball game as lawmakers were stepping up to the plate one day after the shooting at the g.o.p. team practice. steve: the democrats won and then immediately handed their controversy over to the republicans to present to congressman steve scalise who is still recovering in critical condition at the hospital. pete: that's right. our own kristin fisher is at the white house with the latest. good morning, kristin. >> good morning, steve, ainsley and pete. president trump wanted to attend last night's game but the white house says that he wasn't able to because there wasn't enough time for the secret service to fully secure thagnat park. snat park.

he made this message that played before the opening pitch. >> tonight you are showing the world you will not be intimidated by threats, acts of violence or assaults on our democracy e on this special night, i need you with three great american words that for generations have torn down barriers, built bridges of unity, and defied those who have sought to pull us apart. ladies and gentlemen, let's play ball. >> the game started with one the most moving moments of the night. one of the capitol police officers wounded in the shooting used crutches to step to the pitcher's mound and throw the ceremonial first pitch. for these members of congress to play ball just one day after one of their own was shot in practice it, really was an incredibly emotional night here in washington. almost 25,000 people attended a record. more than a million dollars was raised for charity, also a record. ivanka trump also presented a $50,000 check from the friends

in the trump administration. in the end, democrats won 11-2. after they were presented the winning trophy, they gave it back to the republican team to put in congressman scalise's office who remains in critical condition at the hospital. and you know, every year since 190, this game has been all about building bipartisan. this year that really took on a whole new level of meaning. steve, ainsley, and pete. steve: in a lot of ways. kristin, thank you very much. it all started on wednesday morning. it was shortly after 7:00 when this man walked up to congressman from florida ron desantis and said hey, are those republicans or democrats? pete: at the moment he wasn't quite sure what he was referring to. the congressman later on said hey, that's the person who actually did the shooting unfortunately. congressman ron desantis joins us this morning on "fox & friends." congressman, thank you very much. ainsley: good morning. >> good morning. pete: all of us watched the baseball game last night. fixed on it loved the sort of america coming together.

praying at second base. it's all important. it's what we ought do and need to do. as our minds turn this morning it's okay how and when does that actually translate into republicans and democrats in washington actually getting something done. do you have any sense that there is a pivot point here? >> not necessarily. i think it's going to be tough because a lot of things that animated this individual i think are still out in society. and that's just the reality. and as i was sitting out there for the national anthem, you know, we had had the capitol police officer throw the first pitch. we're doing -- saluting the flag. i looked down the line, half those guys wouldn't have been there if it weren't for the capitol police. we woul wouldn't have been age o field a team it hit home for a lot of us. this was a guy really consumed with rage and very hateful individual. and so the idea that somehow we're going to be able to control people like that. i think there is a loft hate threatt tread out there unfortunately. i think it can be driven by

social media and the other media particularly with respect to how the president is always denigrated. but, it is just something that i think still hitting home for us after we played last night. and then this morning. ainsley: congressman it, starts with our leaders. you know, they are all looking to you guys to see how you are reacting and rhetoric and ted nugent now saying is he going to change his tone. is he listening to his wife and is he going to listen to his wife and tone it down a little bit. you set the tone last night on the baseball field. will that last at least among the republicans and democrats that are there in washington? >> i hope. so i have always taken it as have you these tough debates, be strong and principled but don't use to to assassinate somebody's character. one because that's not the way you should do this stuff and two, whatever debate we are having now, we may have a different debate six months from now. someone you are attacking you may want to work with on some issue. why would you want to burn bridges from a congressional perspective having a healthy relationships i think benefits

you and your ability to serve the district. it doesn't mean we have to agree on anything. we are not going to agree on anything. i'm not going to agree with nancy pelosi. she is a san francisco liberal. i'm not. that's relates. we request do it in the field of intellectual combat where we are going back and forth about ideas rather than character assassination and dehumanizing our opponents. steve: it sounds like congressman, you are saying on capitol hill maybe you get back to okay, we can disagree about issues. but you are not going to go back to the, you know, the tactics of personal destruction. the politics of personal destruction. >> i hope not. that's not the way i have ever operated. i'm going to basically stand for conservative principles, limited government. that's just what i believe. in and we'll voluntarily back and forth with folks who may have different views and whatever can carry the day on the house floor. that's going to be the policy. and i think that's the way it should be. i mean, the founding fathers had very big, tough, robust debates. i think they respected each

other and understood that they had different perspectives. and that wasn't a cause to kind of view someone as somehow not part of the american family. steve: all right. congressman desantis, thank you very much for joining us. by the way, how did you do last night in the game. >> i got a couple hit but a lap is not enough. pete: i heard two of the five hits for the republicans. ainsley: what happened though because last year the republicans won? >> well, the sun don't shine on the same dog's patute every day. steve: that's the quote of the day. >> thank you. steve: if you were watching last night on tucker's program, you saw that half the time they talked about what was going on with the baseball game but then they were talking about the case of otto warmbier, who just a couple days ago was rereleased by north korea. and i there it's safe to say there he was when he -- before he was released, in appalling medical condition where is he currently in a religion is taivel state.

he has been flown back to his family. there was a press conference yesterday. essential liver his father fred wearing the same jacket that his son was wearing in that image right there talking about how president trump got his son released. and you know, president obama, that administration really did not have great record when it came to hostage release. ainsley: when we interviewed the mom and dad, right here on "fox & friends," they told me that the president told them to lay low. president obama told them to lay low, not get involved. we are handling it. 18 months later, president trump is in office and then their son comes home. pete: total contrast in ways of engaging in the world. president obama -- it's almost a met for for the entire policy. lay back, apologize, sit back, hope our adversaries do well by us. instead president trump and his administration is proactive in saying listen, this needs to happen. it need to happen now. we're going to be aggressive about it that's the kind of

contrast that the father of otto warmbier brought out and this is what he had to sanchtsd when otto was first taken we were advised by the last administration to take a low profile. cindy and i designed the time for strategic was over. we made a few media appearances and traveled to he washington to meet with joe eun at the state department. it's my understanding the ambassador and his team at the direction of the president aggressively pursued resolution of the situation. the question is do i think the past administration could have done more? i think the results speak for themselves. pete: imagine being the father and hearing strategic patience. and hearing the trump administration saying it's over. what a breath of fresh air when you feel like have you a leader fighting. ainsley: your child in another country and the president is telling to you lay low? how as a parent do you that. >> 15 years hard labor? steve: nekens are saying the reason is he in this

vegetative state is because of botulism. the doctors in the united states have examined him and say we don't know where they are coming up with that we have absolutely zero trace of that in his blood. he. pete: a horrible story. best part about it is he free because someone took initiative as you this is an american we care about and we're going to get him back. steve: trump angle and how president trump was instrumental in that played down on the other networks. shocking. shocking. ainsley: child held captive and come back in a religion is taivel state. if something had been done sooner. if he had come home sooner, would he be in this stated? pete: would they care if you were in that. is he back. hope all is well. jillian: start with breaking news right now. this is breaking overnight. russia taking credit for killing the leader of isis. the country's defense ministry

claiming that abu bakr al baghdadi and 30 isis commanders died in an air strikes in the syria city of raqqa late last night. tell fox news they have no evidence to support russia's claim. judicial watch threatening a lawsuit against the fbi is now centered around james comey. watchdog group claims the bureau has a legal responsibility to hand over records they claim comey unlawfully removed from the fbi. now, that includes a memo about a meeting with president trump that comey admits to leaking to the media. and speaking of james comey. he is getting support from unlikely source. russian president vladimir putin making him an offer. if he finds himself in trouble with the election hacking probably. >> he faces certain consequences after this. and so on. we will be ready to provide him with the political asylum in russia. he should know this. ainsley: putin went on to

compare james comey to nsa leaker james snowden. that's a look at your headlines on this friday morning. those are your headlines. headl. steve: can't live in the he. pete: good news for illegals living out west. they are getting more protection, funded by you the taxpayer. ainsley: todd piro is having breakfast with friends. todd: the president is going to be talking cuban policy. we are talking cuban tostada. a civil debate between a trump supporter and detractor. remember that word civility? you are going to see it coming up on "fox & friends." ♪

it's ok that everybody ignores me when i drive. it's fine. because i get a safe driving bonus check every six months i'm accident free. because i don't use my cellphone when i'm driving. even though my family does, and leaves me all alone. here's something else... i don't share it with mom. i don't. right, mom? i have a brand new putter you don't even know about! it's awesome. safe driving bonus checks, only from allstate. sometimes i leave the seat up on purpose. switching to allstate is worth it.

steve: we're all starving and when todd piro showed us that tostada thing we said we have to learn more about that. ainsley: what is that, todd? todd: i'm going to crush that we are going to get to business.

i'm here with maria. president trump is coming here today to talk about america's cuban policy. you came here when you were 2 from cuba. >> i was 2 years old and that was 54 years ago. >> what do you think about what the president is projected to say or what we're anticipating the president to say. >> my parents brought my brothers, myself and then my brothers were born here and we came to this country because we wanted to have a better life. that's exactly what they gave us i always called myself cuban born, american raised. and i do believe that trump needs to revisit everything that obama did. i'm all for it. and quite frankly i trust him because i really think that his interest is really to make our country great again. make it a better country than what it is today. pete: marie a thank you very much for your time. now we are going to head over here where the cuban tostadas what do you do?

because i love how it ties in to what we are talking about. >> i'm in the cordage business. you tie things up you are sick and tired of what's tying up washington. >> no question about that. todd: tell me about that. >> both sides need to get together and open up the channels of communication. stop the rhetoric and stop ruining our country instead of what's only good for their party. todd: why raw trump supporter? >> i think we are more likely to get where i'm trying to put us with trump. that's why. todd: now, gary? >> there is another reason. todd: please sir, zachery. >> i think one of the main things i like about trump from the get-go is you can't buy him. todd: okay. >> i don't think he can be bought. todd: go to go to gary. because, gary, you are not a trump supporter. >> no. todd: why? >> regarding his comment he can be bought. i think he has proven that my concern is his roll back of oversight. the paris accords.

my concern is lack of leadership, leadership he seems to be not providing at this point because you don't know from one day to the next where is he going or what is he going to do. and that does nothing to help us. todd: all right. how do you respond, quickly? >> i don't agree with any of that. todd: what i love is that even though you don't agree, you guys are breakfast friends. we are having breakfast with friends right now. you guys are friends. you come to cozy corner often and you talk. you know what? it's civil, they are not beating each other up. >> not yet. todd: not yet. >> wait until the camera leaves. todd: the joke is this is serious business but you guys are having fun. you are good friends. thank you for your time. thank you, marie for your time. send it back to new york. civil discourse. steve: yes, at this point. pete: like in the commercial breaks here. ainsley: make surety cameras roll here. i love a hockey game because i love a good fight.

donald trump. he is being a healer in chief. he is being remarkably wonderful to the entire country, calling for unity, praying for those who have been injured for their full recovery. people reverting to their hateful rhetoric already again yesterday. the unity last add hot minute for some leader. we will continue to disagree on policy and on issues. but i really would ask people to think about the hateful rhetoric. this man, the shooter the other day, didn't hate baseball. he hated republicans. and his social media feed was a complete anti-trump, anti-republican screed. for those in the media upset by the president's social media postings. why isn't everybody looking inside a little bit at what they're posting and what they're saying. nobody is responsible for this shooting except the shooter. there is no question about that. at the same time, you can

oppose policies, but such hateful charged rhetoric that active resistance becomes armed resistance in the case of this lone gunman. pete: sure kellyanne conway. do you feel among leader in this country. enough is being done to tone it down, stop it, we can't bring this to the brink, no, sir that they are encouraging violence, no one is saying they are necessarily. the rhetoric is so hot can they do more, should they do more? >> i heard the republican leaders say last night in an interview on a different network. you had leader mcconnell and speaker ryan saying exactly that and they work together every day with the democratic colleagues. they often disagree. we can't seem to get democratic votes. we certainly welcome them for all of our policies, at the same time at the same time yesterday, pointing the finger already. two days ago she said she quote prays for her. she hopes for the success of donald trump's presidency.

and yesterday she was pointing fingers again. so i do think some people are unloading their shame and their guilt in a call for ponying down the toxicity and the rhetoric. did i a clever thing and i went back and looked at exactly what is being discussed on all the tv show he is except yoirs at 7:09 a.m. on wednesday when this happened and it's a really curious exercise because as steve scalise was fighting for his life and crawling into right field, in a trail of blood, you should go back and see what people were saying about the president and the republicans at that very moment. of course, they had a great -- news and the tragedy and since then there has been some intraspeculation, quieter voice toning down the let i can. look at twitter, if i were shot and killed tomorrow, half of twit we're explode in applause and excitement. this is the world we live in right now. it's terrible. one thing to say i disagree with you on healthcare repeal or on taxes or on your plan

for national security, but, you can't attack people personally in a way and think that tragedies like this won't happen. by the way, look at the response from some in the public. you have martha, congressman woman from arizona. claudia congresswoman from new york. two women i know well and work with closely they have been directly threatened since this happened and as have others. that's very concerning to everyone. we don't want to live in a police state because we can't get control of people's rhetoric. but this is a call for leaders to do more and to speak directly to those. look, this is also the natural by product you have images of the president being shot in rapper's video he is, being senassassinated in a production there in new york city. a picture of a severed head. all of that is a toxicity. there is no one to blame but the shooter here but the calls for tamping down also should be very-ly to should be some intraspeculation there. ainsley: we will to watch and

see how they cover things going forward that was all before the shooting happened. it would will be interesting to see how the mainstream media covers president trump's trip to miami today. what is he doing down in miami today, kelly ann? >> the president is doing exciting things for the cuban people. not the oppressive: obama administration policies that helped the military, the security, and the intelligence entities there benefit from u.s. derived funds. that has to stop and that will stop. the president also as he has done with every single deal that he has rescinded or questioned, or taken us out of. he is welcoming the people to make basic requirements, free and fair society. that treats its people well and gives him basic freedoms and human rights. and welcoming them to the table to get a better deal. but this, of course, to cut off that money supply, is important, what happened

really benefited the cuban regime did not benefit the cuban people. steve: kelley anne president trump did something the obama administration wasn't able to do get otto warmbier released. he was convicted for taking a poster down his father had a press conference wearing the same jacket his son wore in the images we just saw. evidence does give president trump credit. during the obama administration they didn't do much to help that family. >> we are so thrilled here at the white house to know that otto is home with his family in ohio and we wish him all the best a full recovery and a full life. we're very happy that his father has gone public with his son's story to the extent that he feels comfortable without divulging family matters, and you are right, our state department and this president work very hard for this american's release from the oppressive north korea.

and i noticed yesterday when means pelosi was asked did she think the obama administration had done enough to get otto's release. she dodged that question. she had an awful lot to say about other people's rhetoric. she had zero to say about whether the obama administration had done enough. but we know that the trump administration and our state department through secretary tillerson did plenty. in very short order we have been here less than five months. we are so happy this young man is home. steve: we wish it were better circumstances given the fact that he is currently is essentially in a vegetative state. it's heart breaking. ainsley: we pray for him. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. ainsley: the pentagon vowing to fix afghanistan. >> we are not winning in afghanistan right now. and we will correct this as soon as possible. ainsley: general stanley mcchrystal and former navy seal are here to talk about winning again. steve: good morning.

so what do we do to turn the tied? >> i agree with jim mattis his assessment. huge respect for him. i disagree when he says this is his responsibility. there is national decision we must make. it belongs to the president. we have to decide if we are going to send more troops there, what our desired outcome is and what price we are willing to pay overtime. we have been there 15 years. i'm a believer in afghanistan. but the american people need to understand and believe whatever objective we set. pete: sir, all three of us have spent time there both of you more than i. but being there and having vested there doesn't mean staying there is the right decision. at point do we make a call hey we either go in to win or cut bait on something that doesn't have a return? >> that's exactly the point. we need to have the conversation. the reality is tough there. the way ahead won't be easy. i believe it's doable but i have one opinion. the american people need to be informed. we need to discuss it. and we make a decision where we have resolve. pete: rumor is a couple thousand more advisors.

we had 120,000 there, likely when you were commanding it was that high. today it's much lower than. that is a few thousand going to turn the tied? >> that's the question. if we put a few thousand in and that doesn't work, what then? that's a question we need to ask ourselves. pete: you wrote auto book how leaders build. what's been done to give more latitude to leaders on the ground which is welcome. one of the principles in the book. tell us about the book your experience as a navy seal and the message you are trying to bring. >> that's right. what we found in the early days of this fight under then general mcchrystal's guidance when he was running the counter terrorism global task force was that problems were changing so quickly on the ground decision-making needed to be decentralized down to those teams. we have seen this grow over the years. more critical now than ever on the battlefield as we face these interconnected net worked problems. but now it's also happening in other parts of the world. it's happening in any big system. it's happening in industry and politics where problems are connect. and system leaders inside of

this was actually a universal problem that apply toes industry, government, whatnot. so as we formed an organization, mostly cloudy crystal group that we operate in now to bring that to the civilian world, we found that's true. pete: absolutely. the civilian world has a lot to learn from general stanley mcchrystal and chris fussel. thank you for your service at the top of the battlefield and on the ground. we appreciate it? >> thank you. pete pete book is called "one mission how leaders build." get it checked out. coming up next we have geraldo rivera, judge jeanine, ben watson, charlie damages on the plaza. damages -- charlie daniels on the plaza. evd to calm these nerves. woman: for some, lyrica can significantly relieve fibromyalgia pain and improve function,

bandied a benefit for willow brock to help disabled children. old nassau coliseum. they jammed the base. they made a quarter of a million dollars back in 1975 which was he is always a good-hearted man when he comes on the stage at "fox & friends." he is a wonderful, wonderful, charitable person. look at him we're both still rockin'. ainsley: he says he is 80 years old. >> i'm not that old. but i love him. he still looks good. he still play as mean fiddle. steve: sure, speaking of charity events, congressional baseball game historically raised money for a lot of charities. he raised north of a million dollars last night. geraldo, for one day it seemed washington, d.c., came together after the awful shooting in lax leaks. it started with a very -- alexandria. started with emotional prayer

where steve scalise would be the second baseman. of course he is still in the hospital. what is the observation where you we go from here. >> this was a bitter sweet moment. bitter because of grievous injuries suffered about congressman scalise. we're praying for him as he completes the third surgery. bitter, that the tone, rhetoric, could lead to such horrific violence. sweet that everybody came together and talked of you know, more civility in public life. i hate to say it though, but it just seems to me once this moment is passed, with the, with mueller, with the special counsel's continuing probe, with all the sniping going on, with all of the crossfire, i'm not quite sure this moment, this beautiful moment will come to characterize the foreseeable future. pete: geraldo, is the left being

intro executive enough? no nobody is blaming the vitriol. is everyone saying, let's be civil? >> that is great question, pete. nancy pelosi's tone certainly surrounding the shooting and ballgame and so forth, that was good but i wished it happened earlier. now i know that people point to the shakespeare in the park, "julius caesar," donald trump as julius caesar being knifed to death and kathy griffin holding up decapitated head of donald trump, that causing these things, rather artistic expressions are a symptom of great divide in this country. never in my public life, half a century now, have i seen the nation quite as divided. maybe congressman's scalise's

trauma and tragedy can heal the grand chasm that exists between right and left now. i fear as the probe goes forward and as it expands, and metastasizes, brings in more and more people, more and more issues. now it will be the tax returns of the president. jared kushner's dealings, you know, the did the cia director talk to the president about? what did the national security administrator talk to the president about? i think what we have now going forward is going to be a lot of noise, a lot of spinning of wheels, a lot of accusations, a lot of bitterness that doesn't, i feel, or fear imbue to the good of the nation, let me put it that way. ainsley: let's talk about the special counsel and what is going on with that investigation. there are two headlines in the "washington post" today, first

one says, special counsel investigating trump for possible obstruction of justice, officials say. section one, special counsel investigating jared kushner's business dealings and his finances and business dealings. michael flynn, paul manna for the. -- manafort, carter page. why are these leaks going on? we're not supposed to know this. steve: leaks. >> this is lamentable. even though i'm a journalist, there has to be some sanctity for private dealings of president of the united states. he has to have reasonable confidence what he discusses with the top aides about the direction of the nation and is confidential. what happens in the room, stays in the room. it is exactly opposite now. almost every word out of president trump's mouth will end up on the newsroom floor of "the washington post" the next day or sometimes within hours or even within minutes.

it is clear that the president is existing in a very hostile environment. i mean just imagine if you're donald trump today, outside of the white house, you have the offices of "the washington post," you have some of the best investigative journalistings in the world looking to kill you, looking to get whatever dirt they can on you. what makes it worse is, inside of the white house, you look around and irwonderring who will be snitching out? who will take what i say, exaggerate it, feed it to journalist they know will help hurt the president? that is very, very distressing. steve: the big question is whether or not it is even true? because deputy attorney general rod rosenstein, sent out the message, in regards to the "washington post" things, americans should exercise caution before accepting as true any sources attributed to anonymous officials particularly when they don't identify the country, let alone the branch or agency of government which the

alleged sources are supposedly affiliated. americans should be skeptical about anonymous allegations, as these are, the department of justice has long established policy to neither confirm or deny such allegations. the president of the united states just tweeted this. pete: he said after seven months, this is the president, after investigations and committee hearings my quote, collusion with the russians, nobody has been able to show any proof and trademark sad at the end of it. to your point, geraldo, they're having to point out that you can't just list government officials without listing what country it is coming from. these leaks are everywhere. he is pointing out the fact if it is anonymous, how can you trust it? >> the problem with that, pat is, in many ways, the media is preaching to their own requires. in other words, rosenstein cautions skepticism. i gain youty you, the people who will be skeptical of these stories or these leaks will be the people who are in favor of

the president, and on his side. people opposed to the president, they will -- pete: take it as gospel. >> take every allegation however reckless, take it as gospel truth t will keep the president off balance. keep him fighting on various fronts. rather than working for good of all americans than going forward. he will be swatting these backstabbers in many ways. i think he is really going to have a very embattled, i don't see where this ends. you have mueller, who is is a fine, reputable person, highly competent but he surrounded him is i understand it with people who send to be more on the progressive side of idealogical spectrum. their political philosophies may differ with the president and trump administration. you have this entity, funded entity. no one can touch it, to mess with the special counsel is to interfere with the process of justice.

so, he is going to do what he does and it will spin these wheels and he will find a weakness someplace, he will find a vulnerability someplace, whether jared kushner, somebody happened in china or moscow, i don't know what it is, scooter libby never thought he would be target in iran-contra, around he had nothing to do with iran-contra and one guy that went to jail. steve: geraldo, thank you for joining from the windy city. >> i'm sorry. such a bummer. my daughter is graduating today. ainsley: good for her. what school? >> northwestern with honors. ainsley: awesome, great. steve: geraldo, congratulations. coming up on this friday, despite this week's shooting that play depicting a president trump look-alike being assassinated still being performed in new york but should it. pete: right around the corner in central park. an espn host says the nfl injects politics in sports by

♪ steve: well the show will go on of the a play that shows the assassination after president trump look-a-like will still be performed here in new york city this weekend despite the target shootings of republicans in the baseball practice in alexandria, virginia. our next guest is calling for the show to be canceled. dan henninger, deputy editor of "the wall street journal" editorial page and joins us right now. why should they cancel it? >> steve, the show, happens at inopportune time. we had a attempted political assassination in virginia, on piece with the kathy griffin's severed blood at this head of donald trump. there is something i call political disorder syndrome. what it suggests not just politics has become infinance. the emotions beneath politics have become very intense.

steve: for instance, the shooter, who tried to kill as many republicans as he possibly could before the hero cops came in, do you think he was insane, crazy or just so motivated by the harsh rhetoric out there he took action into his own hand? >> i think there is combination of things going on there. i mean, we live in a world with social media, which a lot is driven by emotion, a lot of it has become political. people in politics understand you can drive emotion on both the left and the right. so individuals get wrapped up in their world of social media, facebook, twitter, they're online all the time. they're brainwashing themselves. same thing happens to people from islamic state, the terrorists. they go online and whip themselves into a frenzy and i think what happened to hodgkinson he was full of anger, and what we know political violence can become very attractive and mystical. people can trigger and snap.

i think that is what has happened with hodgkinson. everybody in the political community has to understand what is going on here. that people are getting up on the emotional edge, in a place that is very dangerous. steve: absolutely. so when you see things like kathy griffin in the head, and this here in new york with shakespeare and the donald trump look-a-like, you called on them to quit the show, you know the show will end sunday any way. >> they say it is allegory on democracy. let's be clear, this is not an allegory about a historical figure. the character in their play is the current sitting president of the united states. steve: correct. it looks just like him. >> i have to say one more thing, steve, all of us lived through the obama years, eight years of the obama presidency worried about the possibility of an assassination and an attempt because emotions were tense back then. we were so thankful to get through it without that happening. now you have this event in virginia, now you have a play

depicting a presidential assassination, surely time for people, putting on stuff like that to pull back and say we don't want to participate in an atmosphere like this. steve: yeah. they will not pull the show because the show will go on until the end of its run on sunday. >> i'm afraid some it is unfortunate. steve: daniel henninger from the "wall street journal" thanks very much. on the run-down, incredible show of unity at last night's congressional baseball game in washington, d.c., but will it be back to politics as usual shortly? you know judge janine has a lot to say about that coming up next. here is the charlie daniels band, performing live in the summer concert series. ♪

earlier maybe it has to do with the investigations and all that. i think its stems from the top. i think when elected leaders, congresspeople, people we look up to, people we vote for, say this president is not legitimate, he and his cabinet, they're scumbags -- steve: traitor. >> traitor, everything, but the resistance is something we all have to do. what does it mean when you resist? it means you fight. conjures of image rather violent. i don't even need to bring in kathy griffin, shakespeare in the park, we'll talk about that in a few minutes but, make no mistake, this is, i prosecuted murder cases my whole career, this is a guy who was responsible but it is not just the lunatic, this is a guy who was very focused on republicans, very focused on trump, very

hateful, and his rhetoric was accessible, until the leaders come out and say you know what, what i said was wrong, what i said was not appropriate, we respect the president. until that happens, i don't suspect there will be change. pete: this morning we mentioned ted nugent on the conservative side, i'm going to tone down my rhetoric. important with all do that. you mentioned violence, portrayal thereof, shakespeare in the park here in new york city, violent portrayal of the killing effectively of our president. you hit the street to ask some people about that. >> you know, i was curious whether or not in light of what happened, whether or not people were still going to see shakespeare in the park, whether or not they like the idea of a julius caesar shakespeare play, look-alike donald trump is stamped to death, red liquid comes out of him, he is repeatedly stabbed. so i went to central park and i saw people waiting in line, lines of people waiting, and i talked to them.

what do you think about the play itself? >> i think they always try to push the envelope a little bit. that is what they're doing. >> the donald trump look-alike being stabbed to death, what do you think of that in light of what is going on today? >> i know it can be very controversial. there are two sides to every story. it depends on your perspective. >> you don't have a problem with this? >> not at all. >> do you think it is appropriate they have a basic double of donald trump being stabbed to death. >> doesn't matter. trump is the president, i respect that. >> if they did that to hillary, would you be offended? >> yes. >> hillary is the bomb. >> i came back from central park. they're playing shakespeare in the park, "julius caesar" they have a donald trump look-alike, this stab him to death. what do you feel about that. >> i think it is tragic. >> what has gone on in political history. trying to assassinate this guy. everything they're doing to impeach him.

>> complete hypocrisy. encouraging violence against republicans. shootings. there will be more of that. >> will you wait in line to see shakespeare in the park. >> no, no chance. steve: two sides to every story. >> i it was amazing. i went back at him. two sides to every story. he said republicans are just responsible. it will me when have we held a president's head, killed him, stab him, he couldn't come up with anything. this is idealogical split that is going to be very difficult to mend. and my concern is that the people who were not grounded, lunatics out there, who just want to kill somebody, are going to use this as an schools, say, i'm justified in killing this person. he is not, you know is not my president. elijah cummings, comes out sauce he is not a legitimate president. what constitution are you reading? at the end of the day, hopefully

something good will happen and steve scalise will get better, we'll move on. based on shakespeare in the park, after the shooting -- pete: you asked that in the break. it was after the shooting. >> yes. it was yesterday. i said to them, in light of this shooting, you still think it is appropriate? they waited in line -- i couldn't walk -- unless it was hillary. shows you idealogical rift. ainsley: we'll see more of that on your show this weekend tomorrow night. thanks, judgment. he is the tight end for the baltimore ravens but benjamin watson says his best job is being a father of five. look at his beautiful family. he says he has the playbook everybody needs to follow. steve: first charlie daniels performing, "in america." ♪
