he will bring up the collusion issues and russia's involvement in our election remains to be seen. rob: isis and syria, everything else e the world is a complicated place. heather: it is. rob: "fox & friends" begins right now. heather: bye-bye. steve: well, this is a fox news alert. it is 6:00 in the morning here in new york city. it is 12 noon in poland where the president of the united states in the last hour concluded a press availability with the president of poland just about an hour from now a major speech about the directions of the free world e. brian: this arguably is one of america's greatest allies and big fans of president trump. they equate both candidates now candidates of respective countries running very similar campaigns and very similar beliefs. when the president of the united states decided to make first prestop to the g 8 in poland this was a major boost for that country trism the fun has just begun. ains ain't that's right. after that 15-minute press conference this morning, maybe an hour ago, then he
3:01 am
spoke at 3 c initiative summit speaking to those leaders, countries that live around those three degree cs. expecting him to speak and have a major speech in front of the poland i. huge show ahead. steve: they bust in a bunch of people. keep in mind, poland is one of the few nations that actually contributes 2% to nato. so we love them because they help. they do their part. brian: something else interesting. since ronald reagan with the president -- with the pope at that time, pope john paul to help bring down eventually the whole warsaw pack beginning in poland, they have had a great feeling towards america. then president bush 41 it got enhanced even further. bill clinton made two trips there and bush 43 says they are one of our greatest allies in iraq. with president obama they took a step back. president obama says i have a good idea take mill sill

defense out of poland and bolster ties with angela america he will kel. his approval dropped to 50% low with a u.s. president. with entrepreneurship they seem to be hitting their stride. one area in which the polish people are happy, we have pledged to give them patriot missiles to help them in case there is a soviet led. ainsley: the president has gone over there and said i have the u.s. best in mind. i'm taking what's important for you at home over and there i'm fighting for you. he talked during that press conference, we all watched and it took notes. he talked about nato thanked poland for meeting those financial obligations. talked about north korea. said there are consequences for bad behavior. and then he also talked about the u.s. lng which is the liquid natural gas gas. they had their first shipment given to poland this month. poland bought some of our natural gas for the first time ever because they normally get natural gas from russia. russia is not going to be pleased with that.
3:03 am
brian: holds eastern europe hostage to a degree because they have the pipeline that gives the liquid natural gas to them. if we can export what we have to our allies and they can count on us and we can count on them that is a major security plus for the polish people. steve: of course, there were some american reporters in attendance in the event david from the daily mail asked the president about the cnn logo smack down. remember the parody thing that he retweeted. brian: i don't remember that story. steve: actually turned out to be his most tweeted tweet in the history of the presidency. anyway, that led to fake news. and it was an excerpt we thought we would play for you. here is a minute of it. >> i think what cnn did was unfortunate for them, as you know now they have some pretty serious problems. they have been fake news for a longer time. they have been covering me in a very, very dishonest
3:04 am
way. do you have that also, by the way, mr. president? [laughter] with cnn and others. i know nbc is equally as bad despite the fact that i made them a fortune with the apprentice but they forgot that i will say that cnn has really taken it too seriously and they have hurt themselves badly, very, very badly. what we want to see in the united states is honest, beautiful, free, but honest press. we want to see fair press. i think it's a very important thing. we don't want fake news. by the way, north everybody is fake news. but we don't want fake news. bad thing. very bad for our country. ainsley: interesting after a 15-minute press conference the reporter stands up and the first question is about north korea and he coupled that with that cnn question about the wrestling video. it's like come on can we talk about the issues? brian: i know you guys have thought about this. hopefully at home you have put this together. the president comes out and puts together these videos
3:05 am
this is unpresidential. this is not right. this is different. why is he tweeting that i in the big picture when things matter when it comes to national security, world war, relations with syria. is he cool and calculated like a 40 year diplomatic veteran. look at north korea, we might have to take very difficult action against north korea. he isn't saying this little clown has no right doing. this he is being very cool and calculated and parses his speech because he knows the impact. apes ains very reason the left doesn't like him because he is not going to be intimidated. he will put these videos out there to say this is fake news. yet, that's the kind of guy you are going to want to represent the united states of america when he does have to come up against north korea. when he does have to have talks tomorrow with putin. brian: my point is it's very different the way he deals with cnn. ainsley: i'm following through with that i agree with you. steve: you just heard in that exchange we played for you where he took a shot at nbc. halle jackson of nbc asked
3:06 am
the president about wrution meddling in the election and whether or not he accepted it and then he brought up a very important point, he felt, about the former president who did nothing when he knew that apparently russia was meddling. >> will you once and for all, "yes" or "no," russia interfered in the 2016 election? >> i think it was russia and it could have been other people, other countries. it could have been a lot of the people interfered. the thing i have to mention barack obama when he was president, found out about this in terms of if it were russia, found out about it in august. was told in early august by presumably the cia, that russia was trying to get involved or meddling pretty strongly with the election. he did nothing about it the reason is he thought hillary was going to win. and if he thought i was going to win, he would have done plenty about it. that's the real question, is
3:07 am
why did he do nothing from august all the way to november? >> follow-ups for you on that mr. president. you again think it was russia. your intelligence agencies have been far more definitive. >> i heard it was 17 agencies. i said boy, that's a lot. do we even have testimony that intelligence agencies, right? let's cheng it. we did very heavy research. it turned out to be three or four. it wasn't 17. and many of your compatriots had to changed their reporting and had to apologize and correct. >> thank you very much. we must go. >> very briefly follow up, mr. president. >> thank you very much. dear lady, it was two questions. thank you very much. >> can i ask president. >> follow up. >>er thank you ladies and gentlemen. >> thank you, everybody, very much. steve: the rules were you get two questions and the correspondent from nbc wanted a third one. did not get it time ran out. one other highlight of the president's press
3:08 am
availability regarding north korea's icbm test, the president said they are behaving in a very dangerous manner. considering very severe things to respond to the test. some very severe things. of course, the president didn't reveal what those might be. ainsley: let's bring in mark ladder. the press secretary for vice president mike pence. good to see you this morning. tell us what you thought of the speech. what's your reaction? what can we expect? >> well, i think what you're going to see is president donald trump continuing to lead on the world stage. the v pght pence was in europe recently. he has also been to the asian pacific. one thing he keeps hearing again and again from world leaders is they are excited by the fact that president trump and america are leading once again on the world stage. in terms of his speech today, you're going to hear the president lay out the broader shared civilization goals that we share with the folks in europe, and that
3:09 am
this is just not about governments or alliances, but we as people share common goals about freedom, democracy. it will be a very aspirational speech in that respect. brian: i think they say biggest crowd he ever addressed. excited for him to be there of course the next stop will be germany. what about people, mark, that keep saying the president is going to be for a rough time when he actually gets to this meeting let alone the bilaterals that he had. is that your perception? >> what you are seeing when the president goes to these meetings is that we and our allies have a lot more in common than we do in differences. so when these meetings take place we do discuss the things where we might have areas of disagreement, but we also have the shared values, the shared commitment to our trans-atlantic partnerships. the shared belief in our common defense against enemies like isis now confronting north korea and other actors who might be posing a threat to various regional interests in u.s.
3:10 am
allies. those are the kinds of things you are going to hear both behind the scenes and publicly and while we auto may have areas where we need to continue to work on our relationship like the president has stressed strengthening our trade relationships and making sure we're putting newark first but not just america alone e these are the kinds i have things you will hear during these meetings privately and also when they step in front of the microphones and address the media later on. steve: sure. mark, of course, the president of the united states is kind of kindred spirits with the president of poland because the president of poland feels much about the eu as this president does. when it comes to restrictions on the number of immigrants and refugees taken in, poland doesn't want so many and that is something that the president has made very clear that the border should be cracked down upon. >> the president has been very, very clear that we need strong borders in our country to protect our interests. and, you sea world leaders across the pond in europe making very similar arguments based on the needs of their people and the fact
3:11 am
that europe is facing the brunt right now of the threat that is posed by isis. one of the ways that we can come together in the global community is to address those common threats that isis poses and we have great partners in europe with poland and other places that are working with us to defeat isis on their soil and making sure that we are also protecting our people at home. brian: so let's talk about what the vice president's job was. almost right after the election the president says i'm going to put together a commission. the v pght is going to head it up. to look to see if there was any election fraud going forward. why is there so much push back seemingly from the states to get things, for example, like voter rolls and try to verify identification? >> one of the things i think you're see something a little bit of partisanship and gamesmanship by a few states it should be noted that most states, about 36 right now are actively working with the commission or are looking at the requests from the commission to see what they can release publicly under their state laws. it's important to note that
3:12 am
all the commission is seeking is publicly available data. data that states on a regular basis provide to campaigns, state political parties and other national groups. each state has differing laws in terms of what it can and cannot release. all the commission is seeking is publicly available data. and really the question you have to ask is for those 14 states that say they are not going to comply is what are they trying to hide? what are they covering up? or is this pure part tanship that they may be ignoring their own state laws and own public records laws in terms of what they can and should shod release to the commission. ainsley: is the point of this trying to prevent another country interfering from the election. president was asked press conference earlier and he went back to president obama. he said he knew russia was trying to change our election results. but he thought, president obama thought hillary clinton was going to win so he didn't say anything, he didn't do anything about it. that was months before the election. is that the point to prevent other countries from doing
3:13 am
this? >> well, in the president's executive order creating the commission, he outlined a number of different areas he wants to look at, including improper voter registration which could lead to improper voting. but we're also working with the states asking them for their advice. what can we do to help strengthen the election systems moving forward, whether that be from a cyber security standpoint, looking the issues of voter suppression. also making sure at the end of the day we are focused on ensuring the integrity of that fundamental american principle of one person, one vote. brian: 40 states push back, we're up against a break. the 40 state push back you say that number is inflated and some of that push back has been from republican states. >> yes. 36 states are already saying they are looking at it or providing information. 14 said they aren't. what we have got to look at is what are those 14 states trying to hide. could they be possibly ignoring their own law. steve: marc lotter, press

january, donald trump tweeted out that north korea would never be able to get a missile that would reach the shores of the united states he said all during the campaign he alon would be the one that could bring chinese to the table to exert pressure on north korea it turns out both of those things are not true. and in fact,. >> there is a lot of legitimate criticism by the president. you would have to see the north korean problem is not his fault. at least is he dealing with it directly. not using strategic patience. >> well, i mean, let's be clear. the united states under president obama did two things. one, three things, actually. they put up a missile defense shield, in south korea. brian: still not employed. >> they issued sanctions on north korea. and what's never happened during the obama administration is north korea getting a missile that could reach the shores of the united states. that happened within five months of donald trump. brian: none of the technology during the obama years. they just put it together

now. he's this was breaking you were kind enough to join news studio. the after math of this, are you afraid that we are beginning to accept the death of officers as commonplace? >> well, i think the death of an officer should never be commonplace and it just alarms me from your statement earlier in connection with the other networks because oftentimes they hear of other issues such as let's saleh quan mcdonald. i see the coverage for laquon mcdonald that goes for months and months. whereas no one speaks on the 100 people shot in chicago over the weekends. 15 people were killed. that gains a sound bite. when we look at a hero officer killed in the line of duty, it gains short coverage and that's a real problem with the media. ainsley: you can see, it takes up the whole front page of the "new york post." >> that's what the "new york post." ainsley: daily news. we covered it a lot yesterday and this morning, obviously. but msnbc didn't even cover it at all. >> and that's the problem. it goes back to oftentimes
3:27 am
when we have officer misconduct, it gains a magnitude of coverage that far exceeds that of an officer was that killed in the line of duty. it begs the question of what is the media doing in connection with these things because ultimately the police are our first line of defense. and it's very important that we acknowledge them as such. and when we look at this escalating tension between police and communities, this cantankerous relationship it needs to be stemmed. the media can hold a significant piece in doing so. steve: the tragedy of this story, doctor, is the assassin essentially was a cop hater who had gotten into scuffles and arrested for that in the past. >> career criminal. steve: targeted this woman because she was wearing blue. because she was a police officer. >> and you know another problem that i have, oftentimes i see community activists, they stump for these communities. the communities of color are at siege. they are astronomical crime

3:29 am
to take a step forward and try to make some adjustments. one of the things that i think can happen is ben carson being the hud secretary, they can introduce a series of low interest loans to these people in these socially deprived communities that can actually move out, create a sense of ownership in these communities. and in turn move out a lot of these drug dealers, these violent criminals in these communities. i think that's a step that donald trump can take and coupled with him being a builder. it goes back to this vitriol i can and co cantankerous relationship police 2349 community it has to stop. you guys are introducing this as a media outlet so millions of people throughout america can see and understand this is something we need to stem. steve: you are right, it's got to stop. doctor, thank you very much for joining us. ainsley: thank you for your service as a police officer and as a veteran. we appreciate it. >> thank you so much. ainsley: you are welcome. brian: just moments from now the world war l. watch as president trump delivers a major speech biggest crowd

3:34 am
>> good morning, guys. i know many of our viewers may just be waking up. >> we have already had an action packed day here in warsaw. president trump just wrapped up a joint press conference with the president of poland where he addressed north korea's latest missile launch. he said that they are behaving in a dangerous manner and that they there are going to be consequences for that bad behavior that we don't know exactly what those consequences are. very first question asked at that press conference was are you willing and ready to launch military action against them? president trump said i don't know, we will see what happens. i have some pretty severe things that we are thinking about. but he also made it very clear that he is not going to advertise what those severe things are. he says i simply don't like to draw red lines. listen. >> we'll just take a look at what happens over the coming weeks and months with respect to north korea. it's a shame that they're behaving this way. but they are behaving in a very, very dangerous manner
3:35 am
and something will have to be done about it. >> now, this joint press conference took place just one day before president trump first face-to-face meeting with russian president vladimir putin. throughout the press conference, president trump said that he believed it was russia that medicine dead in the u.s. election. he alselection -- meddled in the u.s. election. he also hit back at predecessor, former president barack obama for not doing more when he learned about russian meddling back in august. he says they say he choked. i don't think he choked. i think he thought that clinton was going to win. listen. >> barack obama, when he was president, found out about this in terms of if it were russia, found out about it in august. now, the election was in november, that's a lot of time. did he nothing about it. why did he do nothing about it? >> so from here, president
3:36 am
trump is heading to the square to make this big speech in front of 15,000 polish people. a lot of them very friendly, very open to his brand of politics. then he is heading to the g-20 in germany where he will likely receive a little less friendly reception. just to give you an idea how well liked he is here in poland. check this out. this is one of two magazine covers that i found with the headline in english "make poland great again." brian, ainsley, and steve? steve: that's what he is trying to do today. kristin fisher. let's bring in mike huckabee former presidential candidate and former governor of arkansas and fox news contributor. governor, kristin was just talking about how our current president was talking about how the last president knew in august that russia was meddling and didn't do anything about it. he said because they thought hillary clinton was going to win and they didn't want to rock the boat, essentially. do you think that's what was going on? >> it appears that it was, steve. and the big question remains,
3:37 am
why didn't the previous administration sound the alarm? why didn't he send notices out to the election officials in all 50 states saying be on the lookout for attempts to hack into your electronic voting systems. why didn't he say to the entire nation we vindications that information is being spread falsely about the election? he didn't have to say it was for or begins a particular candidate because we really don't know exactly what it was intended to do. but, why didn't he say that? because he didn't think it was a big threat. the best we know is that some time in september, he said to putin, hey, you guys, cut it out. now, that's it. that was all there was. and for us to now be acting like that this was the most amazing, biggest, colossal thing that ever happened in the history of american politics, is absurd. brian: i laugh because the people are saying why does the president keep bringing this up? it was one of the questions the press asked him so, of course he has got to go back there even though he is in
3:38 am
poland on the cousin owe g 20 announcement on the cusp of bilateral discussion with russia. that's what you choose to talk about. on the big picture, i'm struck, governor, because you are so politically savvy a lot of people speak with the president about his approach and say it's so unorthodox unlike any other president. when it comes to eastern europe, trade, and missile defense, he is very strong but is he no bluster. there is no bluster about the patriot michelle. nmissile. no bluster lng. no bluster of tanks at the eastern border but he is doing it. >> i think that's what's significantly missed by at loft mainstream media. they just fail to recognize not only the economic changes that have happened to the country for the good here in america. but, you mentioned the patriot missiles for poland. that sends a real signal to the russians. stand back. you're not going to be able to just come and invade poland. the polish people are wonderful people. they fought hard. they put up resistance against the nazis and against
3:39 am
communists they were the first to be invaded by the nazis. so important ones to understand what freedom means. president trump has, i believe, spoken to their heart, to their character and their soul. you point out something that's very important. not something what the limitations are. here is when you stepped across it and here is exactly what you need to do. that's good leadership because it doesn't tell your enemy what to expect and when to expect it. ainsley: governor, it was smart of him to go to poland? clearly the crowd loves him there you saw kristin fisher hold up the magazine. we know there were invitations put up on the embassy's website saying all poland come one, come all. come and listen to my speech today. he did have messages. he starts this second foreign trip basically by giving a press conference there in poland. he had a message for russia. several messages to russia.
3:40 am
you are not going to have the monopoly on natural gas. he also had the medicine sage to nato i'm not going to protect you. america is not going to pour money into nato. poland is not going to pour money into nato. you can't expect us to protect if you are not paying your fair share too. there were several messages. going back to original question, was it smart for him to start this second foreign trip there in poland. >> i think it absolutely was for a number of reasons. some of which you just outlined. look, let's put it this way. i don't care if you are a politician or a rock band. you want to go where the crowd wants you to be. steve: that's right. >> in poland he is able to go there and say to them thank you for paying your fair share to nato. most of your neighbors don't. but you do. he can say something very positive. i think our relationship with the polish is strengthed by. this the polish people are exceptional people. their culture, their hospitable. they're good to americans. they are wonderful people. i can't think of a better place for donald trump to begin this tour than poland.
3:41 am
i'm glad he did it. brian: mayor rudy giuliani. i don't know if you can see from your monitor, governor. but we have are not seen the mayor from new york city in quite some time. and he popped up in poland. steve: so he is in attendance there. governor, apparently, as we look at some of the live pictures out of warsaw, they are there at the war memorial and they are going to use the story of the polish resistance as a knew rallying cry for the western civilization. it's a monument to the 150,000 pols who died trying to drive the nazis out of warsaw. that's the big speech that he is going to give in about 20 minutes. one of the issues he did address though during the brief bilateral press conference was the whole cnn logo smack down tweet that the whole planet seemed to have a meltdown over a couple of days ago. people either thought it was hilarious or horrific. here is the president's answer regarding fake news. i want you to hear it and then get your reaction. listen to this. >> what cnn did was
3:42 am
unfortunate for them, as you know now they have some pretty serious problems. they have been fake news for a long time. they have been covering me in a very, very dishonest way. do you have that, also, by the way, mr. president? [laughter] with cnn and others. i mean i know. this nbc is equally as bad. despite the fact that i made them a fortune with the apprentice, but they forgot that but i will say that cnn has really taken it too seriously and i think they have hurt themselves very badly, very, very badly. and what we want to see in the united states is honest, beautiful, free but honest press. we want to see fair press. i think it's a very important thing. we don't want fake news. by the way not everybody is fake news. but we don't want fake news. bad thing. very bad for our country. steve: it is indeed. right, governor? >> well, if i had time to put
3:43 am
on my captain obvious suit, it would be simply to say the reason he answered that question that the press is going to criticize him for is because they asked him the question. so, why are they upset about it? ainsley: you are exactly right. brian: he also said that he has been bull idea. cnn says we have been bullied by this president. >> that's really amazing when the television network is afraid of the president's speaking to them. they should grow up. steve: there you go. governor mike huckabee joining us today. sir, thank you very much. ainsley: thank you, governor. >> you're welcome. brian: crowd gathering in poland. president president trump making news already ahead of the g-20. mainstream media has moved on to his meeting with putin on friday. is the media setting the president up to fail before it happens? adventu we'll explore. rson dome tent

3:47 am
from the square in warsaw as president trump is in poland this morning ahead of the g-20 summit. but the mainstream media already looking to friday, tomorrow, hyping the president's meeting with vladimir putin. >> president trump faces a tough trip here with some uncomfortable conversations. >> the european community is worried about unpredictable erratic leaders not only one in north korea but one in the united states of america. steve: kind of sounds like the press already come to their own conclusion to slam the president before the meeting even got underway with mr. putin. joining us right now is cbn news reporter david brody. david, what is going on right now? >> you know, donald trump is erratic apparently. therefore, there is no way he is going to have any sort of success with putin. steve, there is a story as well, mainstream media story about how trump is just being provided tweet sized nuggets of information like he can't handle more than 140 characters of information.
3:48 am
look, steve, the reality is this president has been under estimated for a very long time the media got it wrong when he jumped into this race. the media is still getting it wrong. he has been one step ahead of the media at all turengts. that's what really frustrates them. steve: you are right with them getting it wrong. at the get-go putin and trump are allies and this is all going to be very chummy. and then we heard about the collusion stuff. and then we heard the president say i can't imagine relations between the countries being worse than they are right now. i want to show you what vanity fair put in the headline: is trump about to get played by putin was the headline there. what do you make of that? >> yeah, you know, steve, i have got to tell you it's interesting. i did some research going back to the 1980s, i hate to say it, i was around back then. i remember ronald reagan getting treated just like this by the media, that he was stupid. that he was dumb. he had no clue. well, how did that work out, exactly? pretty well for reagan. it looks like donald trump may
3:49 am
be in that same company when it comes to the media's treatment of him. so i think this is what is very interesting here is that, you know, a guy that's been in the business industry and been very successful, he is a billionaire. he has been in the imament entertainment industry. he is president of the united states. you don't get there with smoke and mirrors. a lot of time the media seems to forget that. steve: they fixate on his tweets and whatnot. by the way i'm looking online. i see you are involved with a twitter spat with somebody from cnn right now. what's going on. >> i like the spat word. that's a good word. well, look, jim acosta this morning came out and basically, i shouldn't say basically, he actually called david who asked those two questions to president trump from daily mail in poland this morning. he called him an ally of the white house. he called it a fake news press conference. well, shameful of jim acosta to do that. first of all, the two
3:50 am
questions that mur ttuski. one about -- last time i checked halle jackson from nbc got a question as well. all of a sudden it's a real news conference because halle jackson is asking a question? we are going down a very interesting time in the media landscape. steve: that is understatement. david brody from cnn. thank you for joining us. steve: president wants foreign trip with analysis from eric bolling, eric trump and dr. sebastian gorka. how do law enforcement and military families live with the idea that their loved ones might not make it home? taya kyle knows the sacrifice firsthand and she joins us live next.
3:54 am
♪ ainsley: as president trump gets ready to give a live speech in warsaw, poland, there is a tragedy here at home. a 12-year veteran of the nypd killed in cold blood while just sitting in her patrol car. there is a picture of her. officer mya familia leaving behind three children. how do families cope with the risk that their loved one might not come home. fox news contributor and widow of navy seal chris kyle taya kyle joins us now. >> hi. ainsley: here is a picture of your family. look at your beautiful children and chris there. how does a family prepare for this? you knew when chris -- how many tours did chris do? >> he did four. every time he would go, you knew -- yeah, i think you do know. i feel like most people start out where do i where they are full of fear and anxiety
3:55 am
because it's the unknown. at some point you realize you can't live that way. you have to find a way not to be anxious and fearful. especially if you have kids, you want them to grow up in a happy environment. we learned to just lean in our faith and we had honest conversations with the kids about good and evil and things being worth fighting for. the thing different in time and sometimes better when you learn to manage that a little bit for me i also just told myself there were some times it was a close call that i just told myself i'm always going to believe that he is alive and well and healthy until someone is standing at my doorstep telling me differently i have to just believe that. ainsley: what was that day like for you when you found out someone was at your doorstep to deliver terrible news? >> i think it's surreal in a way. it's almost out of body. because somewhere in your mind, in your heart you have thought what if that's me? i saw some of our friends go through it and we walked that walk with them. and the beauty of that was seeing that they somehow
3:56 am
survived even though nobody knew how they would. i don't think there is any real preparation for it. i think it was just a surreal moment that i just couldn't believe i was really there. ainsley: what struck me this morning is the officer's last name is familia, and it means family. she i'm told this morning was saying gel mom, mother of three. so those kids are left without a parent at home. what's your advice to people who have gone through this for those children? >> i don't know if there is any real advice for people other than just to have faith if you lean deeper into your faith and give it some time. ainsley: that's real. i know the producers talked to you last night. you said there is hatred. you can't focus on that. you can't focus on fear. but you can focus on the real things and that's faith. >> it's not god that allowed this to happen. god gave us free will. some people use free will for evil. i think if anybody can help their kids it's to give them faith because that will last a lifetime. ainsley: thank you for your sacrifice for our country.
3:57 am
i'm sorry you had to go through that thanks for being here. >> thanks. ainsley: president trump moments away from making a major speech in poland. john roberts is there on deck along with eric trump and dr. i sebastian goreca. they are coming up on the show as well. whoa! you're not taking these. hey, hey, hey! you're not taking those. whoa, whoa! you're not taking that. come with me. you're not taking that. you're not taking that. you're not taking that. mom, i'm taking the subaru. don't be late. even when we're not there to keep them safe, our subaru outback will be.

steve: this is a fox news alert. it is 1:00 in warsaw, poland, where thousands as you can see have gathered there in the square, a monument that stands to the 1944 uprising against german occupation. that will be the theme set as president trump addresses the crowd. very shortly we understand melania trump the first lady is, going to lay a wreath and then she will then give a brief speech and will introduce the president of the united states. ainsley: what's interesting is the general public was invited. they posted the u.s. embassy posted invitations on social media saying everyone who lives in poland come and listen to the president speak. brian: meanwhile the president is going to speak about 20 minutes.
4:01 am
they say it's going to be the largest crowd he ever addresses. my goodness, look at the size of that crowd, too. meanwhile, let's bring in fox news chief white house correspondent john roberts live in warsaw with a preview of what to expect. john, an interesting press conference and it should be a landmark speech. >> yes. it is going to be interesting. thousands here in the square behind me as you can see. the monument to the 1944 uprising against nazi, germany, just over there to the right-hand side, the wreaths that melania trump will lay a wreath in th additioo the ones that are there. president trump will take the podium and give a speech about preserving western civilization with poland classic example of what it takes to preserve a sylvester. th civilization. how we should apply that to the challenges facing us around the world.
4:02 am
one of those challenges is north korea and its nuclear program. north korea really ramping up the urgency to deal with it with intercontinental ballistic test earlier this week. the president in conversations with polish president andre duda talking about north korea suggesting that the united states is prepared to take serious action if north korea doesn't give in and give up its nuclear program. listen to what the president said a short time ago. >> well, just take a look at what happens over the coming weeks and months with respect to north korea. it's a shame that they are behaving this way, but they are behaving in a very, very dangerous manner. and something will have to be done about it president trump has got some very big meetings coming up g-20 summit coming up hamburg, germany later this week. he will be meeting with zi jing
4:03 am
ping. we were expecting somebody would ask him about it. we whether russia indeed was responsible for trying to interfere with the election. the president basically gave the same response he has been giving for months. did he point to something he thought was unusual. the fact that president barack obama knew about the hacking in august but didn't do anything about it. here is what the president's reasoning on that. listen. >> barack obama, when he was president, found out about this in terms of if it were russia. found out about it in august. now, the election was in november. that's a lot of time. he did nothing about it. why did he do nothing about i it? >> so the president puzzled by why president obama didn't do anything about it. saying though if it looked like donald trump was going to win the election, barack obama
4:04 am
definitely would have done something about it. the program is about to get underway. back to you. brian, steve, and ainsley. brian: thank you so much. a great preview of a speech. with my to my left familiar face with fox news eric bolling up early with us. normally on five with the specialist. congratulations on the success of your book. unwind the success of president trump the swamp. murky crony eu67 krohn cronyismw trump can drain it opened up number 3 on the "new york times." >> amazing right to the want to charts that first tuesday. can i make a quick point? this is so, so smart what the trump administration did. i think steve miller was the one who recognized that. trump has a very captive audience in poland. they are thinking the 15eu78 way he is their president was elected the same way that donald trump was elected. put thousands and thousands. tens of thousands of people in the square. let trump address that group.
4:05 am
what a great start to the pre, you know, what he is going to run into when he goes over to hamburg, germany with angela merkel. this is really brilliant strategy on their part. i'm livin'ing to this coverage. one of the most important things donald trump did when he walked into office, he started repealing regulation on the energy markets. u.s. energy markets run leashed. they are the real driving force behind what's going on in the economy right now. look at poland. look what goes on in eastern europe. they are at the membersy of russia because they don't produce their own energy and we haven't for decades and now we are. we are becoming self-sufficient in energy. that was one of the smartest moves. we are shipping lng. liquified natural gas produced here. taken out of the ground and ships it to poland. that is a fantastic economic success story for the trump administration. ainsley: the president did mention today their approval of the keystone pipeline. approval of dakota access and shipping natural gas to other countries so that other countries to don't have to depend on communist countries like russia.
4:06 am
>> eric: i spent 20 years in the oil industry. we had years whether we were worried we would have gasoline in the gas pumps and held hostage biopeck for their oil. now the shoe is on the other foot. they are asking us for oil. this is amazing. brian: for the first time. we were slow to capitalize on it until recently. >> think about last energy spike in 2004-2005. our businesses were strangled by the cost of fuel. airlines were charging surcharges. poland's water delivery energy surcharge. we don't have that anymore. the unleashing of the u.s. energy markets is probably the most successful thing that donald trump has done of all the things he has done. ainsley: he mentioned in his speech this morning that we are standing here in america on blessed ground and we have just discovered it over the last 15 years i believe he said. what did he mean by that? what's underneath? >> the fracking. the natural gas. we have always had it and had trillions upon trillions of barrels. we have never really gone to this new way of extracting the oil. the natural gas through
4:07 am
fracking methods. remember, at the beginning, barack obama was against fracking. he thought it was environmentally unfriendly, so he pushed back. now he embraced it over the course of his 8 years because it was so -- brian: ohio, pennsylvania. >> ohio, pennsylvania, but the massive amount of economic push that we get from bringing that gas out of the ground there were times when natural gas, million cubic feet cost $17 per million. it's down to like $2 per million. that's great for businesses and homes. steve: so the our president is going to be talking to vladimir putin tomorrow. there was as we just heard from john roberts a question about russian hacking in to the election and stuff like that. the big question is whether or not the president is going to mention that to vladimir putin tomorrow or will it be about -- okay, we have got to get together on isis. got to do something in syria. what else? >> i hope he focuses on north korea. i would hope that everything that they talk about the bilateral with putin and whether it's a side bar or
4:08 am
whether bilateral with chi, chinese president xi. what are we going to do with that dictator to the south. north korean dictator kim jong un. it is a global problem right now. honestly i said last night on the specialists. diplomacy is gone. and negotiating is gone. i think we are down to a massive, marv covert cyber war right on north korea just go at it. ainsley: if we have to uses forces we will, what's more to say on north korea than he said this morning on the speech. basically i'm not going to tell the world my strategy and what we're going to do. did he talk about how there are consequence force bad behavior and we're willing to go to the extreme. >> think about this, in 1950 when the first korean war started it, started because north korea attacked south korea without anyone knowing about it all of a sudden there was an attack on the border and they went in. who is to stop them from doing it again only this time instead of south korea maybe it's south korea and japan or maybe south korea, japan and sending icbm towards alaska. this regime is crazy.
4:09 am
so why do we sit and wait for them to do something stupid? because they have done it in the past. why not preemptively take out their systems? i would even go so far as take out government infrastructure as well via cyber. brian: troops on that dmz line that might be the difference. i'm curious to see because we know where russia stands they don't want anything to do with sanctions they said it yesterday. nikki haley conne conversant ons issue. vladimir putin says the kremlin hopes to establish a working dialogue with the us. one thing u.s. has to its advantage that vladimir putin has to its advantage sun predictability. he usually does great homework on their leaders to find out what they do and don't do and where their strengths and weaknesses are they can't figure out where president trump is coming from because he is so new and because he does shoot from the hip a lot. >> here's the thing. a people are making a lot of the these this meeting. two macho guys who is going to
4:10 am
be the alpha and who is going to be the beta. look at the energy market again. the u.s. economy is banging on all cylinders. our record high stock market in fact trump mentioned it in that last address he made, record low, multidecade low in unemployment. so home prices are brimming. meanwhile, russia, is strangling because they are at the membermercy of oil prices. struggle. oil and gas station. they are dying because of the price of oil. meanwhile that's great for us. one guy with the upper hand, that's going to be trump over putin. steve: one other dynamic going on in europe is everybody looks to germany and angela merkel has allowed in hundreds of thousands of refugees. like the trump administration, president duda over in poland as we see ivanka trump and jared kushner arriving, the president of poland's government is trying to limit the number of refugees it
4:11 am
resettles as the eu, the european union, tries to get them to open the borders. so, you know, the president of the united states and the president of poland are, you know, they are kind of on the same page. >> that's why you are seeing some people that turned out. they said invite 50 of your closest friends and everyone invited 50 of their closest friends and showed up. isn't it nice to see a group of people appreciating that versus what you hear from here? brian: for example in london, when the president got word there is going to be protests, theresa may is on the fence with me and me with her and we know the problem with the london mayor. i'm not going to go. i'm going to put that off. when you put your act together let me know. one thing is clear, the german chancellor merkel is definitely running for re-election. she told dezit, one of their weekly newspaper magazines said she stands by her earlier suggestion that europe can no longer entirely rely on the u.s. read between the lines there. she is speaking bluster to get
4:12 am
some more years as president or is she feel as though the u.s. doesn't have their back? >> it's amazing that she is going there given the unpopularity of the open borders that she instituted in germany. i mean, with all the terror that's going on throughout the european continent, the travel between countries without any sort of requirement for passports, it really hasn't worked. and she is going to push back on president trump? i think this is more along the lines of she is setting up the initial confrontation between her and trump being remember he pulled out of the paris climate accord and that's really ticking her off. she is going to bring it up. listen, this is a donald trump move right here. we don't necessarily want to pull out. we will get a better deal and we will get back in. steve: that's what he would say. the deal was a disaster. ainsley: how about the nato deal? this is what is interesting. for the folks at home that don't know off about nato, i didn't know in the past administration to be honest with you that we were pouring in all this money and all these other countries weren't
4:13 am
doing it but poland was doing it we were doing it only a few countries. >> five. ainsley: only five like out of how many? >> 27. montenegro if they are approved. ainsley: his message to them is being told the president is walking in? brian: ainsley, what's interesting. steve: coming up in just a second. brian: the word has gone out. as you see the guys with the dark glasses that's usually according to the movies that's when the secret service is near. can you spot him. working his way towards the stage. i'm wondering after all the speeches he gives, do the butterflies still go when you see a crowd the size this big? steve: did you go to the think so. let's listen onto some the crowd. the president has just arrived from royal castle and now they are about to lay a wreath and then the first lady will speak. let's listen in.
4:14 am
[chanting] steve: sounds like donald trump. brian: only one that really knows is melania. just about every language there is. so we will have to ask her if she will translate for us. the president is supposed to speak, i guess, ideally. we have 7:15 eastern time. steve: about to lay the wreath. let's listen in.
4:15 am
4:16 am
4:17 am
>> hello, poland. [cheers] thank you very much. my husband and i have enjoyed visiting your beautiful country. i want to thank president and mrs. duda for their warm welcome and their generous hospitality. i had opportunity to visit the science center today and found it not only formative but thoughtful in its mission, which is to inspire people to observe and experiment, ask questions and seek answers. i can think of no better purpose for such a wonderful science center. thank you to all who were
4:18 am
involved in giving us the tour, especially the children who made it such wonderful experience. as many of you know the main goal of my husband's presidency is safety and security of the american people. i think all of us can agree people should be able to lead le their lives without fear, no matter what country they live in. that is my wish for all of us around the world. [cheers] thank you again for this wonderful welcome to your very special country, your kindness and gracious hospitality will not be forgotten. [ applause ] and now it is my honor to
4:19 am
introduce to you my husband, the president of the united states, donald j. trump.

[cheers] we have come to your nation to deliver a very important message. america loves poland and
4:20 am
america loves the polish people. thank you. the pols have not only enriched this nation but polish people have enriched the united states. i was truly proud to have their support in the 2016 election. [cheers and applause] it is a profound honor to stand in this city by this monument to the warsaw uprising and to address the polish nation that so many generations have dreamed of. a poland that is safe, strong, and free. [cheers and applause] president duda and your wonderful first lady aagatt aagt

thaagathahave welcomed us. thank you. my sincere and i mean sincerely thank both of them and to prime minister shedwell a very special thanks, also. we are pleased that former president so famous for leading the solidarity movement has joined us today also. thank you. thank you. on behalf of all americans, let me also thank the entire polish people for the generosity you have shown in
4:22 am
welcoming our soldiers to your country. these soldiers are not only brave defenders of freedom but also symbols of america's commitment to your security and your place in a strong and democratic europe. [applause] we are proudly joined on stage by american, polish, british, and romanian soldiers. thank you. thank you. great job. president duda and i have just come from an incredibly successful meeting with the leaders participating in the three cs initiative. to the citizens of this great region, america is eager to expand our partnership with you. we welcome stronger ties of trade and commerce as you grow
4:23 am
your economies, and we are committed to securing your access to alternate sources of energy, so poland and its neighbors are never again held hostage to a single supplier of energy. mr. president i congratulate you along with the president of croatia on your leadership of this historic three cs nichive. thank you. this is my first visit to central europe as president, and i am thrilled that it could be right here at this magnificent, beautiful, piece of land. it is beautiful. poland is the geographic heart
4:24 am
of europe, but, more importantly, in the polish people, we see the soul of europe. your nation is great because your spirit is great, and your spirit is strong. [applause] for two centuries poland suffered constant and brutal attacks. but while poland could be invaded and occupied and its borders even erased from a map, it could never be erased from history or from your hearts. in those dark days you have lost your land, but you never lost your pride [applause] so it is with this true
4:25 am
admiration that i can say today that from the farms and villages of your countryside to the cathedrals and squares of your great cities, poland lives, poland prospers, and poland prevails. [applause] despite every effort to transform you, oppress you or destroy you, you endured and overcame. you are the proud nation of copernicus. think of that. [applause] shoshopan. paul the ii. poland is a great land of heroes. and you are a people who know the true value of what you defend.
4:26 am
the triumph of the polish spirit over centuries of hardship gives us all hope for a future in which good conquers evil and peace achieves victory over war. for americans, poland has been a symbol of hope since the beginning of our nation. polish heroes and american patriots fought side by side in our war of independence and in many wars that follow. our soldiers still serve together today in afghanistan and iraq combating the enemies of all civilization. for america's part, we have never given up on freedom and independence as the right and destiny of the polish people. and we never ever will.
4:27 am
[cheers and applause] our two countries share a special bond forged by unique histories and national characters. it's a fellowship that exist only among people who have fought and bled and died for freedom. the signs of this friendship stands in our nation's capital. just steps from the white house we have raised statues with names like polaski and kosolosko. the same is true in warsaw where street signs carry the names of george washington and a monument stands to one of the world's greatest heroes, ronald reagan. and so i am here today not
4:28 am
just to visit an old ally but to hold it up as an example for others who seek freedom and who wish to summon the courage and the will to defend our civilization. [cheers and applause] the story of poland is a story of a people who have never lost hope, who have never been broken and who have never ever forgotten who they are. [cheers and applause] [chanting] thank you so much. thank you.
4:29 am
thank you so much. such a great honor. this is a nation, more than 1,000 years old. your borders were erased for more than a century and only restored just one century ago. in 1920, in the miracle of -- poland stopped the soviet army bent on european conquest. [applause] then 19 years later, in 1939, you were invaded yet again. this time by nazi germany from the west and the soviet union from the east. that's trouble. that's tough. under a double occupation, the polish people endured evils beyond description. they forest massacre.
4:30 am
the occupations, the holocaust, the warsaw ghetto and the warsaw ghetto uprising. the destruction of this beautiful capital city and the deaths of nearly one in five polish people. a vibrant jewish population, the largest in europe was reduced to almost nothing after the nazis systematically murdered millions of polands, jewish citizens, along with countless others during that brutal occupation. in the summer of 1944, the nazi and soviet armies were preparing for a terrible and bloody battle right here in warsaw. amid that hell on earth, the citizens of poland rose up to defend their homeland. i am deeply honored to be joined on stage today by veterans and heroes of the
4:31 am
warsaw uprising. [applause] [chanting] what great spirit. we salute your noble sacrifice and we pledge to always remember your fight for poland and for freedom, thank you. thank you. this monument reminds us that more than 150,000 pols died during that desperate struggle to overthrow oppression. from the other side of the
4:32 am
river the soviet armed forces stopped and waited. they watched as the nazis ruthlessly destroyed the city, viciously murdering men, women, and children. they tried to destroy this nation forever by shattering its will to survive. but there is a courage and a strength deep in the polish character that no one could destroy, the polish martyr, bishop michael kosul said it well. more horrifying than the defeat of arms is the collapse of the human spirit. through four decades of communist rule, poland and the on or about captive nations of europe endured a brutal campaign to demolish freedom, your faith, your laws, your history, your identity, indeed, the very essence of your culture and your humanity.
4:33 am
yet, through it all, you never lost that spirit. [applause] your-protestyour oppressor is to break you but poland could not be broken. [applause] and when the day came on june 2nd, 1979, and 1 million pols gathered around victory square for their very first mass with their polish pope, that day every communist in warsaw must have known that their oppressive system would soon come crashing down. they must have known it at the exact moment during pope john paul ii's sermon when a million polish men, women, and children, suddenly raised
4:34 am
their voices in a single prayer, a million polish people did not ask for wealth. they did not ask for privilege. instead, 1 million pols saying three simple words. we want god. [applause] in those words the polish people recalled the promise of a better future. they found new courage to face down their oppressors. and they found the words to declare that poland would be poland once again. as i stand here today, before this incredible crowd, this faithful nation, we can still hear those voices that echo through history. their message is as true today as ever. the people of poland, the
4:35 am
people of america and the people of europe still cry out we want god. together with pope john paul ii, the pols reasserted their identity as a nation devoted to god. and with that powerful declaration of who you are, you came to understand what to do as how to live. you stood in solidarity against oppression, against a lawless secret police, against a cruel and wicked system that impoverished your cities and your souls. and you won. poland prevailed. poland will always prevail. [cheers and applause]
4:36 am
[chanting] thank you. you were supported in that victory over communism by a strong alliance of free nations in the west that defied tyranny. now, among the most committed members of the nato alliance, poland has resumed its place as a leading nation of a europe that is strong, whole, and free. a strong poland is a blessing to the nations of europe and they know that. a strong europe is a blessing to the west and to the world. [cheers and applause] 100 years after the entry of
4:37 am
american forces into world war i, the trans-atlantic bond between the united states and europe is as strong as ever and maybe in many ways even stronger. this continent no longer confronts the specter of communism. but today we are in the west and we have to say there are dire threats to our security and to our way of life. you see what's happening out there. they are threats. we will confront them, we will win. but they are threats. [cheers and applause] [chanting]
4:38 am
we are confronted by another oppressive ideology, one that seeks to export terrorism and extremism all around the globe. america and europe have suffered one terror attack after another. we are going to get it to stop. during an historic gathering in saudi arabia, i called on the leaders of more than 50 muslim nations to drive out this menace which threatens all of humanity. we must stand united against these shared enemies to strip them of their territory and their funding, and their networks and any form of ideological support that they may have. while we will always welcome new citizens who share our values and love our people,
4:39 am
our borders will always be closed to terrorism and extremism of any kind. [chanting] we are fighting hard against radical islamic terrorism and we will prevail. [cheers] we cannot accept those who reject our values and who use hatred to justify violence against the innocent. today the west is also confronted by the powers that seek to test our will, undermine our confidence, and challenge our interests.
4:40 am
to meet new forms of aggression, including propaganda, financial crimes, and cyber warfare, we must adapt our alliance to compete effectively in new ways and on all new battle fields. we urge russia to cease its destabilizing activities and ukraine and elsewhere and its support for hostile regimes including syria and iran. and to, instead, join the community of responsible nations in our fight against common enemies and a defense of civilization itself. finally on both sides of the atlantic our citizens are confronted by yet another danger. one firmly within our control. this danger is invisible to some but for millions of the
4:41 am
pols the steady creep of government bureaucracy that drains the vitality and wealth of the people. the west became great not because of paperwork and regulations but because people were allowed to chase their dreams and pursue their destinies. americans, pols and nations of europe value individual freedom and sovereignty. we must work together to confront forces, whether they come from supplied or out, from the south or the east, that threaten over time to undermine these values and to erase the bonds of culture, faith, and tradition that make us who we are. [applause] if left unchecked these forces will undermine our courage, sap our spirit, and weaken our will to defend ourselves and our societies.
4:42 am
but just as our adversaries and enemies of the past learned here in poland, we know that these forces, too, are doomed to fail if we want them to fail. and we do, indeed, want them to fail. [applause] they are doomed not only because our alliance is strong, our countries are resilient. and our powers unmatched. through all of that, you have to say everything is true. our adversaries, however, are doomed because we will never forget who we are and if we don't forget who we are, we just can't be beaten. americans will never forget. the nations of europe will never forget. we are the fastest and the greatest community. there is nothing like our
4:43 am
community of nations the world has never known anything like our community of nations. we write symphonies. we 'celebrate. we heroes, embrace our timeless traditions and customs and always seek to explore and discover brand new frontiers. we reward brilliance. we strive for excellence and cherish inspiring works of art that honor god. we treasure the rule of law and protect the right to free speech and free expression. we empower women as pillars of our society o and of our scessments we put faith in family and not government and bureaucracy at the center of our lives. and we debated everything.
4:44 am
we challenge everything. we seek to know everything so that we can better know ourselves. [cheers and applause] above all we value the dignity of every human life, protect the rights of every person and share of hope of every soul to live in freedom. that is who we are. those are the priceless ties that bind us together as nations, as allies and as a civilization. what we have, what we inherited from our -- and you know this better than anybody and you see it today, with this incredible group of people, what we have inherited from our ancestors has never existed to this extent before. and if we fail to preserve it, it will never ever exist again. so we cannot fail. this great community of
4:45 am
nations has something else in common. in every one of them, it is the people, not the powerful, who have always formed the foundation of freedom and the corner stone of our defense. the people have been that foundation here in poland as they were right here in warsaw. and they were the foundation from the very, very beginning in america. our citizens did not win freedom together, did not survive horrors together, did not face down evil together. only to lose our freedom to a lack of pride and confidence in our values. we did not and we will not, we will never back down. [cheers and applause] [chantinchanting]
4:46 am
>> as long as we know our history, we will know how to build our future. americans know that a strong alliance of free, sovereign, and independent nations is the best defense for our freedoms and for our interests. that is why my administration has demanded that all members of nato finally meet their full and fair financial obligation. as a result of this insistence, billions of dollars more have begun to pour into nato. in fact, people are shocked but billions and billions of dollars more coming in from countries that, in my opinion, would not have been paying so
4:47 am
quickly. to those who would criticize our tough stance, i would point out that the united states has demonstrated not merely with words but with its actions that we stand firmly behind article 5, the mutual defense commitment. [applause] words are easy but actions are what matters. for its own protection, europe, and you know this, everybody knows, this everybody has to know this, europe must do more. europe must demonstrate that it believes in its future by investing its money to secure their future. that is why we applaud poland for its decision to move forward this week on acquiring from the united states the battle tested patriot air and defense missile system the best anywhere in the world. [ applause ]
4:48 am
that is also why we salute the polish people for being one of the nato countries that has actually achieved the benchmark for investment in our common defense. thank you, thank you, poland, and i must tell you the example you set it truly magnificent and we applaud poland. thank you. [applause] we have to remember that our defense is not just a commitment of money. it is a commitment of will. because, as the polish experience reminds us the defense of the west ultimately rests not only on means but also on the will of its people to prevail and be successful and get what you have to have. the fundamental question of our time is whether the west has the will to survive. do we have the confidence in our values to defend them at
4:49 am
any cost? do we have enough respect for our citizens to protect our borders? do we have the desire and the courage to preserve our civilization in the face of those who would subvert and destroy it? we can have the largest economies and the most lethal weapons anywhere on earth, but if we do not have strong families and strong values, then we will be weak and we will not survive. [applause] if anyone forgets the critical importance of these things, let them come to one country that never has. let them come to poland. [applause] and let them come here to warsaw and learn the story of
4:50 am
the warsaw uprising. when they do, they should learn about jerusalem avenue in august of 1944, jerusalem avenue was one of the main roads running east and west through this city just as it is today. control of that road was crucially important to both sides in the battle for warsaw. the german military wanted it as their most direct route to move troops and to form a very strong front. and for the polish home army, the ability to pass north and south across that street was critical to keep the center of the city and the uprising itself from being split apart and destroyed. every night the pols put up sandbags amid machine gunfire and it was horrendous fire to
4:51 am
protect a narrow passage across jerusalem avenue. every day the enemy forces knocked them down again and again and again. then the pols dug a trench. finally they built a barricade. and the brave polish founders began to flow across jerusalem avenue. that narrow passageway just a few feet wide was the fragile link that kept the uprising alive between its walls a constant stream of citizens and freedom fighters made their parlous, just perilous sprints. they ran across that street. they ran through that street. they ran under that street. all to defend this city. the far side was several yards away, recalled one young polish woman named greta. that mortality and that life was so important to her.
4:52 am
in fact, she said the mortally dangerous sector of the street was soaked in blood. it was the blood of messengers, liaison girls and carriers, nazi snipers shot at anybody who crossed. anybody who crossed, they were being shot at. their soldiers burned every building on the street, and they used the pols as human shields for their tanks in their effort to capture jerusalem avenue. the enemy never ceased this relentless assault on that small outpost of civilization. and the pols never ceased its defense. the jerusalem avenue passage required constant protection, repair, and reinforcement. but the will of its defenders did not waiver, evened in the face of death. and to the last days of the
4:53 am
uprising, the fragile crossing never ever failed. it was never ever forgotten. it was kept open by the polish people. the memories of those who perished in the warsaw uprising cry out across the decades and fewer clearer than the memories of those who died and defend the jerusalem avenue crossing. those heroes remind us that the west was saved with the blood of patriots. that each generation must rise up and play their part in its defense. [applause] and that every foot of ground and every last inch of civilization is worth defending with your life. our own fight for the west does not begin on the battlefield. it begins with our minds, our
4:54 am
wills, and our souls. today the ties that unite our civilization are no less vital and demand no less defense than that bear shred of land on which the hope of poland once totally rested. our freedom our freedom, our civilization and our survival depend on these bonds of history, culture, and memory, and today as ever poland is in our heart and its people are in that fight. [cheers and applause] just as poland could not be broken, i declare today for the world to hear that the west will never ever be broken. our values will prevail. our people will thrive. and our civilization will triumph. [cheers and applause]
4:55 am
[chants] thank you. so together let us all fight like the polss, for freedom, family and god. thank you, god bless you. god bless the polish people. god bless our allies and god bless the united states of america. thank you. god bless you. thank you very much. [cheers and applause] brian: president trump doing a flawless job pulling off a speech for close to 35 minutes. and a great job in front of a huge crowd who is often interrupting him with the chants of we believe donald trump.
4:56 am
and i think the president loved that. steve: right. it was there at the square, a monument that stands for the 1944 uprising general's german occupation. the president said poland is an example of people willing to defend civilization. he said threats to our security, we will confront them. we will win. our border will always be closed to terrorism and extremism and europe must do more for world security. ainsley: he said you have lost your land but never lost your pride, talked a lot about resilience and that they have never lost their spirit. have you been and bond between countries. ainsley: have you been watching live coverage of president trump speaking in poland. for continuing coverage tune into the fox news channel or log on to our web sight at friends@foxnews.com. brian: eric bolling still with us here. eric, just having a chance to take in that speech and the president pulling that off on
4:57 am
the cusp of his first ever g-20 summit. got to feel good about it. >> powerful, powerful speech. really, really uplifting to watch the people of poland give their respect to the president that sometimes he doesn't even see here at home. it was fantastic and highlighted the bond between poland, the allied bond between poland and the united states, fantastic. great way to kick off this very important foreign trip, his second foreign trip, probably the most important one, i think. steve: eric, before the president started speaking for 35 minutes, we were talking about energy dependence and how poland has always been dependent upon the russians. well, the president just said poland will never be held hostage again to single supplier of energy because the united states is -- >> we talked about that before the speech. the united states will never be held hostage again to the likes of opec and some countries that frankly hate us because of what donald trump did when he came into office.
4:58 am
he started immediately repealing executive orders, one of them being on the energy markets, regulation roll back of energy markets and that's unleashed an economy that's just off to the races, on fire, jet fuel to the economy so to speak. i think you are seeing the fallout. the polish people recognize that strong relationship. brian: right there i think is he recognizing a lot of polish war heros in the front row. we have also 900 troops stationed in poland. and a lot of them are there, also. the president has a lot of respect for veterans not only in american veterans but world veterans. ainsley: he thanked the troops that represent both countries. he thanked the polish americans who helped get him elected. he also talked about not only the resilience of poland and what they have been through as a country and their history at that monument, that sacred place for the pols. he also talked about the nato allies and he had a message for them. you pay your fair share. he talked about the trans-atlantic bond and stronger than it's ever been. he also, eric, talked about
4:59 am
the threat for security and how it's so important for us to come together as a world to irradicate isis and the threats that they bring to our country. >> i think that's going to be one of the themes that you pointed out nato. united states 3.5% of our g.d.p. towards our own security which the 2 percent level is the requirement to be part of nato. poland is one of five countries of the 27 that actually meet their requirement. so that's a very popular thing there. brian: you know what's interesting too, when the nato president came here the supreme commander kind of happy with president trump. in the interview saying i like the fact that he is ginning up more money for these nato allies to start putting money into their own defense which helps the alliance overall. >> poland. makes poland more secure. nato does their fair share as well. brian: said nato must do more to secure their own people. i think a lot of people in germany are not happy with that that they have to do more. ainsley: eric, thanks so much for joining us.
5:00 am
>> great hour. steve: indeed. what you are looking at is the president of the united states is about to hop into the car and go out to the airport. next stop germany and the g-20 summit tomorrow where, as you know, he is going to wind up chatting with, among other people, vladimir putin. it is now 2:00 in warsaw, poland, and you are looking live at the president of the united states wrapping up a landmark speech. >> we saw the president and the first lady walking out on stage. we saw ivanka and jared in poland. here on the couch today is eric trump here holding down the for the. steve: why didn't you make the trip. >> i would have loved to. are a i can't believe that reception. it was beautiful. when they were chanting donald j. trump. something i'm not used to hearing. you hear president trump. it was beautiful. the amount of people they had there was awesome sight. ainsley: why did your dad decide to go for this trip.
5:01 am
>> sometimes country gets overshadowed my mom is eastern european and i feel like i understand the spirit of this country? hard working people and love this country and sometimes they are overshadowed great bond with america. great re and i just thought it was like a really beautiful moment. steve: well, before the president spoke, the first lady melania spoke, and ultimately that's the message that your father took to the world. >> to the world. and it was interesting, he was talking about gas prices a little while ago, and i would be over in czech, and they did live in fear of not having gas to drive a car. what people made in a week and to see us exporting fuel over
5:02 am
to these countries, to see them energy independent for the same time, i mean, the possibilities that opens is tremendous. my mother grew up in the czech republic and my grandmother actually still lives over there. it's amazing to see how that strangles a country and see what my father has been doing to releasing energy and exporting oil. it helps them and also helps the united states. it's a win, win for both people, and i think that's really fantastic. brian: what happened with ukraine, the carving up of jordan, and vladimir putin saying, you know, i want to reassert the best i can and reconfigure the soviet empire. what do you think the polish people think when they hear that? they think here we go again. the soviet union this time, maybe russia now. but instead the president shows up and says, yeah, we have your back when it comes to missile defense. we're giving you a missile defense system. so while people are pushing your dad, the president to be
5:03 am
tougher on russia, he is. he's not doing with his words. he's doing with his actions. in syria, he's doing it through europe, also with the bolster of our military presence on the border of most eastern european countries. >> i think that's exactly right. doing a great thing propping up europe, and you're seeing that right there. that's why he has the reaction right there. how many people were in that square? 50,000? 80,000? obviously, people are very proud of this. eric referred before as a big gas station. so much of that economy is based on energy, and they've done a great job over the years themselves meaning monopolizing it where they've fed countries they wanted. brian: set up the pipeline and addicted to russian gas. >> and america hurt ourselves not exporting energy. why would we not export
5:04 am
energy? we're one of the big energy drillers in the world. ainsley: your dad said a strong europe is a blessing to the west. and your mom from eastern europe, from the eastern part of europe and then melania overseas speaking five different languages, your dad really has an understanding of what that means, more so than most americans because of his connection. >> and he has an understanding of our allies as well. who were the people who always stood next to the united states of america? who have always helped further our interest? and who have we always helped further their interest? and that's why i thought going to poland, a country that a president hasn't visited in a very long time. a country that some people may think off the radar. it was so relevant. such a beautiful symbol to so many of these countries, which they work hard, they fight hard, they've been great friends, they've been great allies. now, their economies might not be as large, they may not be
5:05 am
as powerful, but they are great friends of the united states, and that should be applauded. steve: what they have done, they pay at least 2% of their gdp to nato. and the president of the united states, your father a while back said everybody has to do that. he did say toward the conclusion of the speech in warsaw, he said europe must do more to pay for world security, essentially. >> yeah. that's right. listen, my father will be the greatest ally in the world to europe. europe and the united states have the same values. we have, you know, largely the same beliefs. we are common people, you know? we've always worked so well together. but there is, you know, an element of abuse that we've seen throughout the years where people didn't contribute their fair share, where they relied on the united states. steve: and we didn't make them. >> no. and that's really sad. i think it's nice that my father goes there and really gives credit for doing the right thing. and that's what he did on the stage. instead of scolding somebody, earlier rewarded them for
5:06 am
doing the right thing, contributing their fair share to nato, and i think that sends a sign to the rest of the world who haven't. america shouldn't have to burden or carry that -- steve: it's not fair. >> no. it's not fair. brian: so what's the pressure like? today the president will hop on marine one, air force one and go over to hamburg, germany. and of course we know about the russians on friday. but now he's goin we know about some allies who have been critical because this america first attitude leaves them behind. what do you think of the approach of your dad's administration should be and your dad in particular? >> listen, my father's been a very direct person. he wants to take care of this country. he wants to take care of americans first. and quite frankly, that's his job as the president of the united states. we don't need to go out, and we don't need to be, you know, the police force of the entire
5:07 am
world. we don't need to fund all of these various world initiatives. everybody can contribute in their own way, and we can work together in a great way. and if somebody fails to do so, then quite frankly, they're not being great allies. brian: you worry about us giving up a leadership role and being america first? >> no. i think we're being bigger leaders today and more powerful leaders than everywhere. you see how my father was in saudi arabia. president obama came off air force one, they didn't even bring a staircase to the plane. had to come out through the bottom entrance of air force one. look symbol and then when my father got out at saudi arabia. the white horses and the parades. look at the reception he just got in poland. ainsley: what about the reception tomorrow with
5:08 am
vladimir putin? because there may be digs to vladimir putin. he's not being soft and when he comes face to face, and he has the art of the deal. what will that be like? >> i commend my father. if you go back to the campaign, he always said i hope. i hope we can have a great relationship with russia. they're one of the major powers of the world. i hope. no one wants a cold war, i hope. i'm going to try. if we can't get there, it is what it is. at least we tried. and it's a very different attitude than what has happened in the past. i'm a little bit of a cynic. can we have a great relationship with russia? i don't know. but at least he's willing to try, and i think he's going to learn very quickly. so you see all of these people, you know, should he sit down with vladimir putin? how can two major world leaders not sit down? but i think it's also a great opportunity for them to size themselves up and pick a pack. either they get along great, and they have a great relationship with two countries, or they don't
5:09 am
and -- ainsley: maybe we can some deals just like he has done with the leader of poland when it comes to natural gas. he said he's a great negotiator, i wish we would have to pay less or i guess he wants them to pay more. but they negotiated a great deal. but that's what it's all about. it's about negotiations. not trust. >> and, by the way, there's no better negotiator in the world than my father. there's no tougher person in the world than my father. steve: we'll see how it goes tomorrow. i know in the 4:00 hour, i don't know if you were up about four hours ago, there was a press availability with our president and president of poland and one of the questions that came up was from msnbc reporter whether or not the president, your father, accepted the fact that russia metaled in the election. and he said, well, i think so but i think other countries were involved as well. but he said the bigger question is why did the former president barack obama told by the cia in august of last year that russia was hacking or
5:10 am
medaling in our election and did nothing, and he suggested, your father did, because obama and the democrats figured hillary was going to win, so they didn't want to touch it. >> yeah. it's amazing how that works, and it's also kind of amazing how you, meaning as a station are the only three people who talk about that. how president obama did absolutely nothing. albeit that he had confidential, classified information, briefings that they were telling him that they were apparently trying to medal in the election. i find that very ironic. brian: until after he left, he fanned out all of this intelligence to all of these different bodies throughout washington, and that's why when your dad goes the day after the inaugural, all of a sudden he got this huge russia story because the president pushed it out. just before he left. >> yet, they weren't willing to look at a candidate who wasn't a good candidate, wasn't a compelling candidate, a party that had no message, a party that is no defunked.
5:11 am
has no leadership. sometimes you have to look at yourself and look at your shor shortcomings. i've said this a million times on every other station but it is a absolute hoax. an absolute witch hunt. steve: there's trump derangement syndrome from the mainstream media. and it has been fueled by people still in government or aligned with the former president who are leaking stuff with the media to make your dad and his administration look bad so he can't get anything done. >> which is awful because if you look at the amount of coverage that has been directed to that story and all of this garbage versus the amount of coverage directed to the fact that the dow is at an all-time high, that the s&p 500 is at a all-time high, that the russell 2,000. steve: what are you talking about? i haven't heard that. >> i ask everyone to do this.
5:12 am
open up your 401(k)s. look at where they were versus where they are now. they're up 15, 20% in many cases. it's incredible. this is money in people's pockets. you look at jobs all time lows. you look at housing markets. so many different things. go into home depot. just simple test. look at the lines in home depot; right? i mean, we're thriving as a nation. everybody wants to be focused on nonsense. on garbage. on distractions. brian: a big shed sale at home depot. i did notice that on saturday. >> you were buying yourself a nice shed; right? brian: i promised to put it together because i'm terrible at that. but i want to ask you something. the reason why your dad lashed out at the media because in the past maybe 25 years he has gotten to know a lot of these anchors and are reporters and are news directors, and let down by the fact that he doesn't think he's getting a fair shot with them because these aren't innocuous people. you know what they're like off
5:13 am
camera. even you. is that part of the problem? >> i do because honestly, i feel the same way. i mean, there are people that i know who know we are good people, quality people, you know, nice people, honest people, sincere, whatever other words you can put to it. you had a relationship with them, you were friends with them. that's not that they shouldn't ask tough questions. that's the job. and then you look at the visceral hatred, you look at their approach, you look at the negativityity to everything. you look at anderson cooper rolling his eyes to kellyanne conway when she's up there saying something. you just look at this. ainsley: but they are your friends, and then they change the narrative when they go on air? >> still. but, yes, of course. ainsley: really? >> and it's sad. you know, it's sad when you know a person to be a good person, and then you see a narrative that's depicted because some boss at one of these networks is telling them to spew a line of garbage. and, listen, it's hurtful in

5:18 am
>> we will not. we will never back down. >> occupation back in 1944, and he just delivered a firm defense of western civilization. he said the question of our time is not if the west can survive, but whether or not it has the will to survive. and he pointed to poland as a prime example of a country that displayed that kind of result more than half a century ago.
5:19 am
trump: here today not just to visit an old ally, but to hold it up as an example for others who seek freedom and who wish to summon the courage and will to defend our civilization. >> now, president trump said that that courage and will stems from a face of god and family, not from government bureaucracy. he said government bureaucracy drains the vitality and wealth of the people. and he sees some real similarities between a lot of the values that his administration upholds and the polish government. another conservative government. now, president trump made these remarks just one day before his first face to face meeting with russia president vladimir putin, and he just said two things that's not going to sit very well with putin. he said unlike what he did at the g7 a month ago, today president trump said that the u.s. does stand firmly behind nato's article five as the
5:20 am
mutual defense commitment. he also said that thanks to a new deal in which poland started buying u.s. lng or liquified natural gas that poland no longer needs to rely on russia. listen. trump: america is eager to expand our partnership with you. we welcome stronger ties of trade and commerce as you grow your economies, and we are committed to securing your access to alternate sources of energy. so poland and its neighbors are never again held hostage to a single supplier of energy. . >> president trump was speaking to a very friendly crowd of about 15,000. a lot of those people in the crowd support the conservative government here in poland. they like restricted immigration policies. but now he's heading to germany with the g20 where they really feel the exact opposite. he's meeting today with german
5:21 am
chancellor angela merkel. steve: kristen, thank you. ainsley: well, did president trump send the right message to the world? you're going to hear from the panel next a complete multi-vitamin with 100% daily value of more than 15 key nutrients. one a day 50+. theso when i need to book tant to mea hotel room,tion. i want someone that makes it easy. booking.com gets it. and with their price match, i know i'm getting the best price every time. visit booking.com. booking.yeah!
5:23 am
5:24 am
he's cute. and buy things from, well, everywhere. how? because our phones have evolved. so isn't it time our networks did too? introducing america's largest, most reliable 4g lte combined with the most wifi hotspots. it's a new kind of network. xfinity mobile. >> welcome back on this thursday morning. some quick headlines for you right now. representative steve scalise back in intensive care this morning in serious condition. doctors say the house majority has an infection after getting shot in the hip at a baseball practice last month. a gunman targeting republicans opened fire on a baseball field. the congressman has been in the hospital ever since and has had several surgeries. she gave up life doing what she loved. and we're hearing details from
5:25 am
nypd officer and mother of three ambushed sitting in her patrol car. her killer shot dead by police nearby. officer's murder comes at the height of a deadly year for cops. the statistics for just this year alone are horrifying. officers assassinated in 2017 up 18%. the national law enforcement officers memorial fund reports 67 officers have been murdered so far this year. suggesting a really grim trend after a total of 135 officers were killed in 2016. the deadliest year for police in five years. that's a lack at your headlines. brian. brian: all right. thanks, jillian. president trump just wrapping up a major speech in poland. here's a little of it. >> you see what's happening out there. they are threats. we will confront them, we will win, but they are threats. our citizens did not win freedom together. did not survive horrors
5:26 am
together. did not face evil together only to lose our freedom and values. we did not, and we will not -- we will never back down. brian: that was a 45-minute speech and now a excerpt now. now you're looking live at the warsaw airport. he's going to be taking off there and heading over to germany where he will have a bilateral with angela merkel. and not only have a bilateral with teresa may but everybody is going to be talking about what's happening with vladimir putin. and of course at the g20 summit the chance to talk to the leader of china and north korea. in fact, there was a report that could be looking at six nuclear test. now you see the first lady getting flowers as he left and the president of the united states saying his goodbye

after success will stop in warsaw. all right. now let's bring in our prestigious panel. we have a former foreign policy adviser to president obama. former financial intel analyst for the treasury department and state department. press officer, and we also have lieutenant colonel tony shafer, an intel expert. let's start with you. so far, the first op you would have to say successful. outlined how poland and the united states are alike to salute to other great figures; right? >> i would put this up there, brian, as one of the best speeches of his presidency. especially the last ten minutes. i felt like in a very positive way, he was channels ronald reagan or george w. bush talking about freedom and democracy in a way that i always hope that he would talk about it. i think one of the most important thing coming out of this that you heard that commitment to article five for the nato treaty that a lot of people had been waiting on. and i think that we heard the strongest words to russia
5:28 am
yet. he talked about russian medaling of course in syria, assisting the iranian regime. he talked very strongly about the russian interference and ukraine. so for those of us that do believe that russia is a nemesis, this president took him head on today, and i think it was an important precedent that he set before he goes into the g20 and before that meeting with president putin. brian: david, of course, this was supposed to be a friendly stop, and it was. announce have lg gas exports, which will provide energy security. and of course, there's going to be security with 900 troops there and patriot missiles. but next stop is going to be even more intriguing, wouldn't you say, the meeting with angela merkel? what's at stake? >> well, this was a pretty historic visit to poland. he had a great crowd, the visuals were very good. he gave a decent speech. but on everyone's mind is what is trump's policy toward russia? and that includes on germany's mind. and even in poland while he
5:29 am
got a great reception -- actually, if you look at the polling numbers, only 23% of people in poland trust trump on global affairs. that's down from 58% under president obama. president trump also this morning is still questioning whether russia attempted to interfere in the u.s. election, questioning whether it was even russia. that's in stark contrast to what his own secretary of state said in may where he said it's clearly was russia. so it's an odd message for president trump to be delivering, especially on the day before he goes to visit with vladimir putin. so that's the big question. where he had some good comments about pushing back on russian aggression in ukraine, what is he actually going to do on russia? is he going to support sanctions on russia, which congress is pushing for very hard. those are the important policy issues underlying this visit both to poland and to germany where he will meet with putin. brian: yeah, good point. what you know i'm notifying,
5:30 am
though, colonel, nothing you said is inaccurate, perhaps perception. the president doesn't do a lot of foreign affairs. his actions show a lot more strength. do you concur? >> i do. i'm sorry, i disagree with david completely. i agree with morgan. this was a 1987-type speech poking putin right in the eye. i mean, brian, let's look at what he said. reinforced article five, talking about the fact that they're going to help break away from russia's gas. and reinvigorate nato. so i'm sorry, david, what you just outlined showed me that president trump has clearly identified, what the threat issues are, and he's going to deal very directly with angela merkel right now on a number of issues, regarding nationalism. regarding the fact that she has been very disrespectful to the american people. respecting our culture, respecting our freedom. and i think this is what resonates with the polish.
5:31 am
i was there in '85 working with germany with the soviet union. we all thought we were going to die during a conflict with the russians. and president reagan pushed us through, and i think now donald trump is pulling that to reinvoke that what we need to do to deal with the russians. brian: right. very strong with his actions but still able to be friendly. so it's kind of an interesting comparison. sadly because the president went a little bit long, i blame him. who isn't blaming him these days? we have to cut you short. but, david, morgan, and tony, thanks so much. >> thank you. brian: all right. guys, good job. meanwhile, 29 minutes before we hand it over, coming up, more on the president's speech in poland. dr. sebastion, the deputy assistant to president trump will join us from the white house. next that's it? he means book direct at choicehotels.com for the lowest price on our rooms guaranteed. plus earn free nights and instant rewards at check-in. yeah. like i said. book now at choicehotels.com
5:35 am
trump: no longer confronts the specter of communism. but today, we're in the west, and we have to say that there are dire threats to our security and to our way of life. you see what's happening out there. they are threats. we will confront them. we will win. suffered one terror attack after another. we will get it to stop. while we like to welcome new citizens who share our values and our people, our borders will always be closed to terrorism and extremism of any kind. steve: that's the president of the united states just about an hour ago. now we're taking you live out to the airport there in warsaw, poland where as you can see it's 2:35 in the afternoon. air force one about to take
5:36 am
off. as we watch some of that as we can, let's bring in dr. sebastion gorka, deputy assistant to president trump. dr. gorka, thank you for joining us. what's your headline today for the president's speech? >> well, the fact is that american leadership is back, and we are unapologietic for western civilization, and we're going to protect its values and poland is a example of those values. you look at how this nation has suffered after dictatorship and dictatorship. and that's why we're going to stand by nations like poland because of what they represent and how their values are western civilization values. brian: to the best of your knowledge without giving up any company secrets, you do know eastern europe. you grew up there. you know what it's like to fight for freedom. it's right in the beginning of your book.
5:37 am
so having said that, you know vladimir putin. what advice do you think or what could you tell us that's going to take place when those two speak? >> look, i don't have advice for the president because he's the ultimate pragmatist, brian. he will deal with vladimir putin as vladimir putin needs to be dealt with. but i agree with rex tillerson, the secretary of state. these are the world's two most powerful nuclear nations. we do not have good relations at this time, and we should have better relations. however, brian, the ball is clearly in their court. we've looked at their behavior. brian: the relations are bad because their actions. not ours. >> right. we wish -- there was a seminal moment in trump tower, one of the president's last press conferences there where somebody shouted out at the end of the q and a what about the relations with the kremlin? what about putin? and the president stopped and gave the best one sentence
5:38 am
answer ever. he said, look, in theory, i would like to have good relations with moscow. right now, it doesn't look very likely, so be it. we would like to have better relations. but right now, it's really up to the kremlin. ainsley: you have shared your story with fox and friends this morning. share a little bit of that to the viewers at home who might not know your story and what that speech meant to you. >> oh, thank you, ainsley. it was a massive moment today. today was like president reagan's speech in 1982 or the speech in '87. my parents suffered first under the nazi occupation of hungary, and then my father after the nazis were defeated and communism took over, my father was arrested at the age of 20, tortured for being an anticommunist, and given a life sentence in prison at the age of 20. six years later, he was liberated by the freedom fighters in hungarian
5:39 am
revolution, and he made it out to the west for my future wife and future mother. how we will stand shoulder to shoulder with great nations like poland in this collective defense alliance that is nato. so a real heartwarming experience for me who come from a certain region. steve: sure. not only did the president say we will defend poland but we will commit to supporting article five of the nato treaty, which says you hit one of us, we're all in this together. is these a message sent today to vladimir putin, isn't it? >> well, look, it's also a message to everybody who's been spinning the fake news for the last 24 weeks about how the president is antinato or not standing with our allies. the fact is we stand by those values that created the alliance in 1949, and we stand by the common defense of article five.
5:40 am
whether it's poland or whether it's pola portugal because leadership in the way of donald trump is back in the white house. brian: and he did say he wants them to pay more of their own way. i want to pivot to a topic i imagine as the president arrives in germany, and that is north korea. i was the struck by the fact that our ambassador was saying more sanctions, we're going to be forced to take strict ack. but china and russia with the most power have no interest in sanctions. says they don't work. wants us, america, south korea to stop with the military exercises. where do we go from here? >> well, again, we've drawn a line. we have said this cannot go on. ambassador haley was absolutely clear yesterday. this is a grave threat. not only to our partners and allies but now, is a grave threat to america and we will
5:41 am
not allow this trajectory that north korea has locked itself onto to further endanger us or our friends. and really, again, it is in now china's interest to reassess its support for this dictatorship. they hold the ace here. they have the real hand to play. brian: they haven't played it. >> and the president is not pleased. you look at his recent tweets in the last four days, we had great hope after mar-a-lago that beijing would realize how dangerous north korea is to them and us, and we want to see more movement to beijing. steve: dr. gorka, you are sharing the screen with air force one, it is flying off to hamburg, germany. something the president did say this morning in his press conference in the 4:00 hour was regarding north korea and their ic bm test. is he said he's considering
5:42 am
some very severe things to do to north korea. that's something we haven't heard yet. >> nope. it's because they have escalated. that launch was an escalatory action. and the thing about this president unlike president obama, we never talk about what we're going to do because that's never a good idea. whether you're playing poker or geostrategy or geopolitics. look at what we've seen done in the last five months. look at the moab bomb in afghanistan, the 59 cruise missiles against syria. we understand diplomacy without the option of force is just empty rhetoric. so the president has a great team, general mcmaster, his principles, they're laying out the options and the president will decide in the interest of u.s. and national security what has to be done next. ainsley: what's your message to the critics out there that are upset with the president. they say he only has the u.s. interest in mind and that they were upset with him with the paris agreement.
5:43 am
but then you have the other side who said isn't that his job just to have our interest in mind when he comes face to face with these other world leaders? but what do you say to the critics? >> well, the first thing i say is exactly what the president said in the inauguration and numerous speeches afterwards. he's not the president of the world. he's the president of america. we are here to protect americans and american values number one. however, it's essential that everybody viewing and everybody listening to the president understands that america first does not mean america alone. if you share our values, if you wish to be our friend, we will be your friend. it's like that marine core division that supplied two of the principles in the president's cabinet has an excellent motto. no better friend. no worst enemy. that's the united states. we will work with you if you wish to work with us and share our values. that's as simple as we can put it. steve: all right. dr. sebastion gorka from the north lawn of the white house where i'm sure they're very happy how the president
5:44 am
performed. ainsley: congratulations w all of your success with what your parents went through and now serving your nation. >> thank you. steve: president trump heading to germany to meet with angelaha merkel. what will he say to the leaders and will he confront on the refugee crisis? the joy of real cream in 15 calories per serving. enough said. reddi-wip.

5:47 am
steve: president trump now to the g20, group of 20 where he will be meeting with leaders like angela merkel, will he discuss the refugee crisis? joins us on the curvy couch live. >> thank you. steve: so has invited into her nation hundreds of thousands refugees. >> over 1.1 million refugees. steve: and it has been a problem for them. >> it has been. it has been a problem for angela merkel that different parts of her political party, with first stop for the migrants getting into germany said we don't like this. this is 1.1 million people over the course of a year and are coming to germany for a
5:48 am
lot of social welfare, and they're not keeping track and -- steve: and donald trump our president has essentially said she's crazy for taking all of those people in. >> well, he has said that, and we'll see how their meeting goes at the g20 summit. but i would say one thing to keep in mind is the g20 summit is actually an economic summit where they're going to be talking about trade issues, tax issues, economic issues between all of these world powers. so the minor crisis while it's certainly very important to europe, it's not necessarily important to the g20 summit. ainsley: they don't agree on the refugee crisis, angela merkel and president trump. >> clearly not. ainsley: but i know she has invited ivanka over to work on women's issues and for young girls. it doesn't mean that they don't get along. they just don't agree on certain issues. >> correct. and the germans have been very savvy on trying to find cooperation and communication with our country with donald trump. steve: sure. no doubt. certain people in europe not
5:49 am
crazy about our president, but he's going to have a heroes welcome in france. >> absolutely. and this is something -- keep your eye on this. at the g20 summit, there's going to be tons of protests. all of these young people, socialists, antitrump from europe that are going to be throwing a huge antitrump rally. but a week from now he's going to be in paris getting a heroes welcome on their day of independence, which is the most important day on the french calendar. and a lot of people are saying that le crone is being very savvy to be the bell of the ball. shall i say that? steve: because mr. macron and angela merkel all have different opinions on open borders. >> they do. and you have to understand all of these different relationships are so different. for example, who's going to lead the eu. so if gets closer to the
5:50 am
american president, maybe they have more power. today leaders of poland said western europe is so jealous of us because we have the american president coming here first. ainsley: amy holmes, thank you so much. >> thank you. steve: before his speech, president trump slammed president obama about failing to do anything about russia medaling in the election. does he have a point? ainsley: but first, we'll talk to shannon about what's coming up at the top of the hour. >> you heard it. from north korea to fake news, donald trump is sounding off in his trip to europe as he gets ready to sit down face to face with vladimir putin. we're going to take you there live. and congressman steve scalise back in intensive care. we're going to take you to the update of his latest condition after he fights from that shooting of the gop lawmakers. plus over the weekend, more than 100 people shot. 15 killed. so what is being done to stop the violence? we'll see you at the top of the hour for america's

5:54 am
steve: a couple of hours ago, president trump was questioned on russia and told the media they should look at the former president barack obama. >> barack obama when he was president found out about this in terms of if it were russia. found out about it in august. now, the election was in november. that's a lot of time he did nothing about it. why did he do nothing about it? steve: good question. meanwhile, in the session over russia, are the media ignoring that part of the story? here gregg, along with conservative review correspondent fox news contributor denene.
5:55 am
good morning to both of you. denene, let's start with you. does he have a point? is there a reason the media hasn't talked much about how barack obama found out about it in august? didn't do anything? >> no. he absolutely does have a point and americans really need to know what the truth is. and i think president obama did a disservice to our country for not letting the public know and not doing anything about it. but with the media, listen, the media hates president trump. so any accomplishments that he has made to date, they don't want to report on that. they're too busy reporting about anything russia. they become totally unhinged when anything about russia. steve: well, there's certainly about trump derangement syndrome. but doesn't the president have a point? why aren't people asking barack obama, hey, why didn't you do something to stop it? >> well, i think whoever it seems in power, they say, hey. the reality is this. you think about lebron james. let me ask you a question. can you ask how much president obama is in president trump's head? it's, like, get it out of your head.
5:56 am
lead the country. lead the world. we have this thing called the fbi and there's an fbi investigation going on. and i think what president obama has is confidentiality and the ability to compartmentalize. >> anything president trump is north dakota head of the media? >> can you imagine lebron james talking about last year championship and his loss to the warriors and continuing talking about it? no, he's talking about next season because he wants to win. >> obsessed. >> so president trump needs to move forward. >> they are completely obsessed and not reporting on anything that is positive coming out of this administration. and really, where's the proof? again, they've been talking about this. they've been investigating it. but we've seen nothing. >> we want nothing but success for our president. steve: absolutely. we all want him to be cancel of. thank you very much. we're going to step away. back in two minutes introducing the new sleep number 360™ smart bed.

president has been live in warsaw today. tomorrow, he will be live in germany. >> we'll be live right here to report it all to you. >> steve: of course preview what will be taking place. we'll get all the impact on "fox and friends." >> shannon: president trump sending a message to the world calling on all nations to confront an increasingly dangerous north korea, while looking to firm up alliances and getting the rock star treatment from the people of poland. good morning. i'm shannon bream. >> president trump wrapping up a speak in warsaw just about an hour ago, heading off to hamburg, germany. but before that, president trump offering some tough talk for north korea during a news conference. warning what he called severe consequences in pyongyang if they continue banned missile and nuclear tests. >> as far as north korea is concerned, i don't know.
