we will talk about the life and times of billy graham. the big events yesterday was in the dining room of the white house where the president had a listening session with survivors of that shooting last week down in florida. also the parents of children who were killed at columbine and sandy hook. and it was so raw and so powerful. that's a father who lost a child at columbine. you had to watch it. ainsley: that lady lost her child at majory stoneman douglas. >> betty devos was there. the president is great when can he act like the president. unscripted. over and over again when the door is closed and president at these meetings whether he was campaigning or in first 13 months, 12 months as president, that's where he excels. now he is saying bring in the camera so you can see the action. that's exactly what we saw yesterday. if you missed it, here are

some of the moments we he wanted to share with you. >> all the school shootings, it doesn't make sense. fix it. should have been one school shooting and we should have fixed it and i'm pissed because my daughter i'm not going to see again. she's not here. we all work together and come up with the right idea and it's school safety. not about gun laws right now. >> i would just like to say thank you for leading the country. you are a great leader. and i appreciate the direction that the country is going in. we all need to realize that we all have different points of views and that we need -- this solution is not going to be a singular thing. it's going to be multifacet you had. this is america. this is every student in every city and everywhere. it's everybody. >> there needs to be significant change in this country because this has to never happen again. and people should be able to feel that when they go to

school they can be safe. and because there needs to be a change. >> what great young individuals. they are so strong. talking to the president. could you imagine? everything they have gone through and going into the white house and sitting down with the leader of the greatest country in the world and telling him how he can effect change. steve: the first father we saw andrew pollack, meadow's father who said he was really pod. was so powerful. not only did he lose his daughter last week. but he was photographed holding an image of her on his smart phone looking for his daughter that day. and he was eviscerated because he was wearing a trump shirt after the one point. he was a trump supporter but there he was yesterday speaking on behalf of everybody who lost somebody and saying, look, put the politics aside. just figure out how to fix this thing and do it now. brian: have you mental health. you have school safety. you want to visit with the

best way to keep guns out of the hands of a lunatic. no matter where you stand. i think the nra feels just as strongly as the most fervent democrat. the president spoke up yesterday. and he talked about a few things. let's listen. >> we're going to do something about this horrible situation that's going on and we will figure it out together. we're going to be very strong on background checks. very strong emphasis on the mental health of somebody. >> it's called concealed carry where a teacher would have a concealed gun on them, would no longer have a gun-free zone. >> next week the governors are coming in from most of the states and we're going to have a very serious talk about what's going on with school safety. we're fighting hard for you are, and we will not stop. we will not stop. we're going to get there. thank you for pouring out your hearts because the world is watching and we're

going to come up with a solution. steve: that's what people wanted to hear, we're going to come up with a solution. to the white house's credit, they allowed the media run the whole thing. sometimes they wouldn't allow the cameras to run a live event like that and they did. it was so raw. i'm sure some members of the media thought so many people have been so upset over the last week. somebody is going to stand up and start yelling at the president, you're responsible for this. noble did anything like that. they were all respectful. a number of people who disagreed with the president there was the fellow by the name of mark bar done whose son was killed at sandy hook. he says i don't like the idea of more guns in school. the president made a good case. if it takes 10 minutes to get the police to a school where there is a shooting. if some member of the faculty is armed, you can perhaps stop it. ainsley: president says he wants to strengthen the background checks for gun purchasers. he wants to put a strong emphasis on mental health. he also has considered

banning bump stocks and possibly not allowing kids under the age, i think 20 or 21 to buy assault rifles. steve: any guns. ainsley: any guns, okay. allow leaders in school, teachers, faculty that kind of thing to conceal carry and the kids at the school won't know who is carrying. brian: also there was some walkouts and protests in florida as you know in illinois and california they went up to their state houses. i want to know what you think about the way the president handled it what would you like to see come from this. regardless of what party you vote for. what candidate is yours. what state you live on, we do want to be able to send children to school and not get shot to death. ainsley: we all think about our own kids in this situation. democrat, republican. this crosses all party lines. i think the message this week has been keep america safe. keep our kids in school safe. we are talking about the border a lot this week. the ice director says when it comes to keeping america safe. this is not a popularity contest. he was on with shannon bream last night. listen to. this i'm not running a

popularity contest. i wouldn't be in this job. we are enforcing the laws. we don't conduct raids. we conduct a targeted enforcement operation. we don't knock on doors looking for people different than us. every person we arrest we know exactly who we are going to arrest. we know exactly where we are going to arrest them based on a lot of intelligence and investigative work. steve: do you know what they started yesterday? they started work on two miles of new border wall in collectioclexico, california. what they are trying to do obviously is remind people we need a big, big wall. although nancy pelosi, brian, can you figure out what she was talking about when she sat down with the arizona republic newspaper yesterday. brian: i'm going to need some help. let the people listen and maybe you can tell us what she means. >> let's sit down and talk this through and see what makes sense. not some commitment to a promise that we are going to build a wall and mexico is going to pay for it. that's never going to happen. but let's talk about where a

more serious structure might be necessary. where fencing will do. where mowing the grass so people can't be smuggled through the grass. that's something, levees, technology, personnel. brian: i give up. steve: so who needs a great big wall when all you really need is a toro? hello. brian: absolutely. by the way, does this tell you how foolish she is. any place where it shows the wall works, it's san diego. there is no one that could argue with the stats that show what that wall has done and why the barrier is being bolstered as steve just mentioned. that's where they are going to be investing and making a little bit higher and strongser immediately they have money to start on that area. couple things, this is the showdown. the reason we are talking about this now with the ice director on with shannon and the congresswoman from california is because between the homeless situation and the rash of sanctuary cities, that's become a sanctuary state, it's a showdown between ice enforcing federal laws. steve: right.

brian: and this state deciding they know more and illegals matter more than their every day citizens. steve: do you mean a showdown or mow down. [lawn mower] steve: going to keep us safe. there goes a john deere right over there. ainsley: nancy pelosi needs to go down to the border. the area i went down the grass was pres pristine. i know every area is different. where we were the grass was mowed. use offed cameras to detect motion sensors in the middle of the night. as soon as they noticed that someone is crossing or going through the grass and the tall grass areas, they are on them immediately. steve: i think that's what she is talking about, get rid of the tall grass. 6:10 in new york city. jillian joins us with a fox news alert. jillian: good morning to you and to you at home as well. we do have breaking news. an attacker blows himself um after throwing a grenade at the u.s. agency in montenegro. no one else was hurt no.

down. one person inside the truck was killed in that accident in virginia last month. neighbors claim the gates malfunction often. the world mournings billy graham's loss. >> very seriously but never took himself too seriously. i think that gave him a humanness that was very, very relatable. >> his legacy though is really not so much in looking back but it's looking forward not only for him in eternity but the fact that he has poured his life into so many people. >> a profound gratitude to god that this man showed up on planet earth to point the way to millions of people to the knowledge of christ. ainsley: the public will be able to pay respects at the billy graham library in north carolina on monday and tuesday. a private funeral is scheduled for next friday. and i'm sure it is going to be flooded with people. steve: i got a feeling you are right.

brian: few keynote speakers to choose from. ainsley: just a few. everyone would love that honor. jillian: love that opportunity and honor, right. brian: shocking plot just revealed. isis trying to take down a passenger plane. how hackers helped thwart that attack. steve: the doors just opened on cpac. what can we expect? russia, russia, russia. organizer matt schlapp explains next, next, next. ♪ anything can happen ♪ anything can happen ♪ anything can happen ♪ anything can happen ♪ from tums

steve: th annual conservative political action conference beth known as cpac kicks off today. and the president's agenda, accomplishments and even russia all expected to take center stage. here with more with what we can expect cpac organizers matt schlapp. good morning to you. why is russia going to be at the top of the agenda what you want to talk about at cpac? >> well, actually, our attendees do want to talk about russia. they want to talk about russia being a threat to the united states. and they do want to talk about this investigation about supposed collusion because they think after a year it's time for the special counsel's team to show the american people what they found. it seems like from our perspective, they got a whole lot of nothing to

show. steve: here's one of the things and i know the president was tweeted about it yesterday, the more we realize what was going on, the obama administration, including the president of the united states, knew that the russians were meddling with our election. and, yet, they didn't do anything apparently to stop it aside from him telling putin, hey, knock it off. so the president tweeted out yesterday why aren't they looking into what the obama officials behalf have done wrong at the time? >> well, this is something that, you know, we have said over and over again. when you have a president of the united states use the intelligence structures and organizations of the united states to spy on political opponents, we are in a very dangerous position. the person who allowed that to happen was president obama and his senior team. i would like to know what he knew and when he knew it to borrow a phrase from another presidential scandal. and it's true that obama did not keep us safe. he loves to raise out charges against donald trump

and supposed nefarious collusion which there is no evidence of. but he was the one that allowed it to happen as you say, steve. i think someone ought to bring the president in and start to scrutinize what his policies were because they did not keep us safe. steve: speaking of the president, the current president is going to be in attendance at cpac over the three day event. what did you make of the listening session he held yesterday in the state dining room of the white house with some of the survivors and family members of school violence? >> i thought it was an incredibly important moment for our country and for his presidency. it's very important that the president be a consoler in chief to reach out to people when they are hurting. i think people are very much hurting in this community the families. the president has a great capacity to try to listen and think about ways to solve problems. and i think he demonstrated that yesterday. i think it was important for the american people. there are just times, steve,

when it shouldn't be just about politics. it should be about helping americans. that's what the presidents was trying to do yesterday and i thought it was riveting. steve: it was, indeed. matt schlapp we know you have a very busy three days from maryland. >> thanks, steve. steve: what do you think about that? email us at friends@foxnews.com. he lost his hand in iraq now his son is making him a new one. the incredible true story is coming up. giving dad a hand. and we are remembering the life and legacy of billy graham. our spiritual panel salutes the man who died yesterday at the age of 99. ♪ [man] woah. ugh, i don't have my wallet, so - [girl 1] perfect! you can send a digital payment.

wednesday, yesterday, of 99 years old. america's pastor preached to millions of people around the world and to more live audiences than anyone in history. here now to talk about his legacy, evangelist and founder of pulse movement, founded in college down there at the end and a friend of billy graham serves on the evangelistic association of billy graham's family. that's nic hall on the end. every nation church nyc pastor planted 30 different churches around the country. upcoming book coming up in august. published more than 3,000 articles. thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you. ainsley: we wanted to call in the experts who knew billy graham and who looked up to him in your service and writings. nic, i will start with you down at the end, you were preaching the word of christ on your campus. >> yeah. ainsley: decided to start the pulse movement. you graduated in 2006; is that right? >> that's correct, yeah.

ainsley: we were talking about yesterday, billy graham, we are all amazed and so sad that he died. one of my friends said you know, ainsley, he was 99. i thought gosh, you are right he lived such an enriched long life and influenced some people even college students. what was it about this 99-year-old that we all looked up to, even college kids today? >> i had a friend of mine yesterday who said it well. he said billy taught us how to leave the 99 and go after the 1. and just this heart beat that billy loved people. he cared. and there was a relentless pursuit in his life that was about jesus. it was about a message. you couldn't get him off that message. and i think as a generation we see so many people that get sidetracked by politics or social issues or different causes. and dr. graham really represented just a singular focus on an invitation to know the person of jesus. and then you see the movement around that. i mean, he multiplied himself time and again raising up ministries,

organizations, movements, i was a young evangelist graham team pegged 10 years ago. they invested in my life. they took me aund the worl with t th@m. and now we are trying to do the same things. we have a stadium event in may where we are tryin to@htaums there 30 years ago when dr. graham was there same thing in texas. trying to train a generation. hundreds of thousands. i just think the legacy of his life was so focused on the hope of the gospel, the good news of jesus. he was just an ambassador. ainsley: yeah, ron, you planted 30 plus churches or 30 i read on your website. you have a big church here in new york city you are from chapel hill. had you a heart for college students and you started planting these churches. was he your role model? we are seeing more and more ever. this when i was growing up a pastor was with one church. now we are seeing people who come out of college and they

are planting 30 different churches because they have this eagerness -- they want people to know christ and not about staying at one church anymore. how did he influence you. >> that's a great question. i was privileged as a, i eten@ my freshman and sophomore year in college to go to a conference with a lot of students in uan, urbana. and they told me that@ guy named billy graham would be the keynote speaker. i really didn't know, i didn't grow up in a christian family so i didn't know what that would be like. in the middle of his message it was surreal because it wass if h and i were in a living room and there were thousands of people and he was just talking right in my heart. and it was at that moment that my life was put on a different trajectory, a different course. he had a major impact on my life. just because of the change of the course of direction. it was like a father speaking to a son and it was through there that my whole trajectory and calling

changed. ainsley: jonathan, he brings up a good point. he a way of transcending race, denomination, politics, never talked about his politics. all he wanted to do was tell people about the love of god. >> you know, it's really difficult to quantify just how impactful billy graham is as a figure in american life. it's estimate they'd preached to over 200 million people in over 150 countries. publishers weekly came out yesterday with a survey, one in six americans say that they read a billy graham book. that's more than 50 million americans who have been impacted by him. but what i think is most fascinating about the legacy of billy graham. is that if you walk into heart land, america, into a room of any size crowd and you ask people yes, if they know of or were impacted by billy graham, you will hear stories just like ron's story. everybody has that story in every community where they were touched by this man and where he changed the trajectory of their lives. i think there are few religious leaders in particular in america public

life that you can say that about. that's pretty remarkable. ainsley: yesterday, it's amazing how his death has impacted all of us. i'm sure book sales have gone up. and all the girls in my bible study we were all texting each other yesterday saying it's not about us anymore. we have got to get out in the community and homeless shelters and hold these crack babies in the hospital and tell them they're loved. it's not about us. it's about spreading the gospel. >> right. ainsley: we get so selfish and caught up in our own lives we realize now because of his passing we have got to do better. >> really a passing of the baton. i think there was a legacy that was left behind. and obviously we know billy graham as the hero, the legend. this great man. but you look at the story, this is a farm boy from north carolina who just said yes. ainsley: the least of these. >> he just said yes. i think that's what god is looking for is us to go. ainsley: nick, ron, jonathan, thanks so much. >> thank you. ainsley: we asked who is going to be the next billy graham? we all will be. we eall need to spread the

word. his daughter was killed in columbine shooting. this was his message at the meeting yesterday. >> we must create a culture of connectedness. we must create a culture in which our classmates become our friends. ainsley: that brave father is going to join us live next. and for today's daily double, jeopardy host alex trebek has a new gig. what is it? it's coming up. we'll tell you. ♪ ♪ (female vo) breaking news from washington as lawmakers;

he laid there covered in their blood looking down the barrel of two guns aimed at him. and he knew he was going to die. steve: but the shooters got distracted that was darrell scott speaking of his daughter rachel the first columbine shooting victim. emotional listening session with president trump yesterday at the white house. ainsley: here now is darrell scott. darrell, thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you. ainsley: you're welcome. so sorry for your daughter's loss. many of us know your daughter's story. many in the audience might not have heard it your daughter said yes. what did she say yes to. tell us what happened on that day. >> rachel left our family with six diaries. and we have built a program around her writings and her life that has reached over 28 million young people across america over the last 19 years. she was one of the students that was asked if she believed in god. and we know from young man who was beside her who is in a wheelchair for the rest of his life that she was asked if she still believed in

god. and she said you know that i do. but our focus has been not so much on her last words as her life and her writings and her kindness and that's what we present in schools. we do school assemblies, school trainings. we have seen seven school shootings prevented because of rachel's story. and we see about an average of about three suicides presented every single week. so her life counted. steve: absolutely. darrell, what did you feel after you left the listening session with the president yesterday? >> well, i left with hope. because i told my wife a few days ago, i really feel like this horrible shooting in parkland is -- i really feel like there is a change in the air. and i heard, you know, a lot of different opinions were shared. and some people focus on gun control. some of them metal detectors. and our focus has been on connecting students. and billy graham had a mentor by the name of norman

grub. norman happened to be a mentor in my life. norman was a world war i veteran. he taught our family something that we teach children. he said learn to be a see througher and not a look attar. don't look at people. don't look at your circumstances. but learn to see through them and on the worse days of your life you will find purpose and meaning if you are a see througher and not a look attar. that's one of the many lessons. brian: one of the first things people wanting to do is solve it a button or a swish. just flip it and there we go we have always had a lot of guns in this country. ever since columbine 19 years, 200 school shootings and 400 kids shot. what's changed and what can we do? >> well, since columbine, of course the internet has become a big issue. children have a lot of interaction i can go into a school and see five children setting there talking to

each other but they are not looking at each other. they are communicating on the internet. and i think the adults have got to catch up with a lot of that because that's where a lot of their communication comes from. but a lot of things that have changed since then have been more exposure to violence. i think by young people because they have access to so much information. but, i really believe the solution is long term. i believe it didn't come overnight. the problem didn't come overnight. the solutions won't come overnight. but we have got to look at every facet of this not just one facet. steve: darrell scott, the founder of rachel's challenge. ainsley: good morning, jillian. jillian: get you caught up on some of the other stories we are following. police release heart-stopping video showing officers killing an armed suspect. we do want to warn you though you may find it disturbing. ♪ gunfire]
