a 26-year-old old man from riverton, utah. he went over there to meet his wife. he was arrested. they say he was hoarding weapons. that is the story from venezuela. he has been released. this has been worked on hard by orrin hatch, bob corker but also president trump. he went to the oval office, metemetthem with his family. what a powerful moment. >> always heartening to see in reality when a government doesn't forget about his citizens far abroad. the work that goes on behind the scene to get someone freed like that is extensive. >> and last night josh holt getting to meet the president after touching down shortly in washington. pipt was one of those moments and certainly a big victory for the administration. take a look at this meeting. >> i just want to welcome you to

the oval office, welcome you to the white house. >> i'm overwhelmed with gratitude for you guys, for everything you've done, for the support of my wife. those two years were very very difficult few years. >> mr. president i can't tell you how much i appreciate you. this wouldn't have happened without you. when you look over your tenure in the presidency, this is just one of the many great things you're doing. we love you, boy and we just want to support you. >> very nice. appreciate it. >> i want to say thank you to you personally for everything that you've done as well as the state department. >> not really the great vacation they was looking for but just so grateful for what you guys have done and thinking about me and carrying about me, just a normal person. so it really touches me and thank you. >> you've been very brave actually, incredibly brave. we saw what was happening inside

of that prison. so you really have been very very brave. >> clearly holt obviously very relieved to be home. but it comes at a time, you know, the nicolas ma deur rah-rah jet stream is a dictatorship by all accounts. the u.s. has increased and targeted sanctions. it comes on the heels of chavez where things began to deteriorate. a tense administration. they're going to continue their pressure on that country regardless of his release. >> as you said, this is a big deal for the trump administration. the 17th civilian, a hostage that has been released under this administration. that was josh holt's home in there, orrin hatch, the senior senator of utah who is not running for reelection. this is a big moment for him as he's leaving office. as you can see, they haven't been with their son for two years. he made a joke in the oval office, wasn't quite the vacation i was hoping for.

>> big contrast to the past administration, no cash here, the north korea hostages, nothing changed, they came home. easy for them to get lost in the diplomatic shuffle, more important people to advocate for. but if's you're family, your community and your son and daughter is being eld by a foreign government aball you want is your commander and chief to step up say iing i remember you, i'm not going to trade with piles of cash, i'm going to work my tail off behind the scenes. this guy was in a dungeon a week ago and now he's in the oval office with the president. >> the president took a look at this meeting to talk about the ongoing talks with north korea. here is what the president has to say. >> we're doing very well in terms of the summit with north korea.

as you know, there are meeting going on as we speak. there's a lot of good will. people want to see if we can get the meeting and get something done. if we can be successful in the denuclearization of the korean peninsula, a lot of people are worworking on it. it's moving along nicely. we're looking at june 12th in singapore. that hasn't changed. it's moving along pretty well. we'll see what happens. >> you think a couple of days ago the president pulled out of the summit and now we're here again saying this could happen. according to the white house, they're sending over ooh group of people in advance of the meeting in singapore. they'll go lay the ground work. we'll see what they report back with. this is an ongoing dialogue. things are changing every day. >> we broke on the program that

north and south korea have had the meeting. north korea did commit to denuclearization. and it was kim jong-un who called the president of south korea after that letter saying we want back in. they're doing the preplanning. secret service and security officials are going to go early to be prepared. it could still not happen but they're planning for it to happen. >> you listen to lindsey graham and he says china thinks they can play president trump. kim jong-un thinks he can play president trump. he's not going to be played. we are only going to be across from you at the negotiating table if you follow through on the things that we want out of this. >> you may have seen this story, about the national guard deployment. and it's the l.a. times headline. we can just show this one. it read, the border patrol union calls trump's national guard deployment a colossal waste and a quote from brandon judd.

he's going to be on the program a little later to clarify these remarks. as you may have seen yesterday, we had the deputy commissioner on this program talking about the progress they have made. but brandon judd, the union president saying really that the deployment hasn't been managed properly. that while it was intended to 1600 trumps so far have been deployed to the border, there are 750 to come likely in the days and weeks, he's saying they have not been used properly. it is supposed to be a forced multiflyer. multiplier. you're doubling up with the national guard troops. >> the problem is how many times people simply read a headline and you think when you read that headline that starts at the top. what did president trump get wrong here, how do we get it right. when you read through it, it's far more complex than that. there's a lot of red tape there.

>> brandon judd, the border patrol organization endorsed president trump, he believed in the deployment of the troop tro. sending troops to the border because the wall isn't built yet. the question is how is it being implemented. that's why the president talks about fake news. you don't get past the headlines, you don't get to the nuance. if brandon judd, and he is, truly committed to see curing the border, he wants to make sure that the troops are used properly. in combat there's a big disconnect between the goal of the leader and the reality on the ground. and until those two meet you don't know what's happening on the border. we're going to have brandon judd on this show at 8:15. we're going to ask him that question, what's not working and how in the world can you fix it. the president would listen to a guy bike brandon judd. >> he called in to the show when that caravan was coming in.

we got his perspective as someone who has been on the border and he gave us a lot of insight on his perspective of what they deal with every day. he's a great person to talk to some other headlines i want to bring you right now and bebegin with extreme weather. florida, alabama, mississippi now declaring states of emergency as sub tropical storm alberto picks up steam. residents preparing for the worst, filling sandbags. alberto the first name to be named ahead of hurricane season. it's expected to make landfall overnight. a teacher visiting the school where he was shot right after his hospital release. we told you about the story yesterday. jason seeman, after receiving a call from president trump praise hg his bravery, the 7th grade science teacher shot in the

the states thought it could be pulled off. he joins us now. i was thinking about you when this broke yesterday. no doubt being the congressman of utah you worked on this as well. what is your reaction this morning. it's a big deal. >> i got to tell you, a lot of us never thought this kid wu ever see the light of day again. and for him to be back on united states soil, it's truly miraculous. i can't thank donald trump as the president enough, senator corker, kayla mccary the staffer behind the scene who didn't let this go. the whole delegation was pushing for this but it wouldn't have happened without donald trump and senator corker. eternally grateful to them. i can't imagine two years in a venezuela prison. i can't imagine it. >> and now he's free. great news this morning. a testament to people not stopping and quitting even on a

long shot. we got to get your take on this big ig report. it hasn't come out yet. we've been awaiting for it months and months. do you know any sense of when the ig report will come out. they're looking at hillary clinton's e-mail server and the conduct of that investigation. you say it could be explosive. what do yo do you know? >> for more than a year now michael who wits and the inspector general department of justice has been able to see things that congress or anybody else hasn't been able to see. i expect it to be a fair ash tore oarbiterof what's going on. it will be as close to the truth as we're going to get. it will be out any day. but it's going to get us closer to the truth. and a lot of people in the deep state, they don't want to see the truth. >> jason, what is the truth?

>> well, we're about to finding out. i think the reality is that there were certain people at the highest echelons of the department of justice, within the fbi, who did not do what they were supposed to do. and that lady justice did not have a balance. she peeked the behind fold down and made sure, fit's a clinton, maybe she would treat this a little differently. we're going to find out the reality at any time now. >> let me ask you about goodlatte and gowdy, they're going to begin interviewing people at the fbi with regards to their clinton investigation, may even branch into questions about the fbi informant. >> yes. so in the house on the judiciary committee, john radcliffe will lead that out, congressman out of texas and trey gowdy. some people look at that saying

hey, this has happened clow but they haven't been able to get the documents from the justice department. you need to documents in order to do the proper interviews. more interviews will happen and that's going to go on for months >> you talked about the blindfold on lady jus dis sally yates says the doj should put political differences aside and prosecute cases. she said that's what was happening. >> i prosecuted democrats and republicans. i'm not the only one. people across the country prosecute folks on both sides of the aisle even though they have a political preference themselves. people don't understand that's now how doj works. you put all of that aside and you call cases as you see them. >> some irony of course, she was the one who was fired for not being willing to enforce the travel ban as well. >> i sat there as the chairman

of the oversight committee, made criminal referral to the obama department of justice and they refused to prosecute these people. don't be telling me that's what they do. they didn't want the scandal. and to hear president obama say it was scandal free, it's because he wouldn't prosecute to people they were giving them criminal referrals on. >> you were right in it. so you know better than anybody. >> thanks jason. >> congressman, good to see you. have a great day with your family. a new poll shows an overwhelming majority of nfl fans support the league's new anthem policy. what do diamond and silk think about it? you're about to find out. >> plus, travis made the ultimate ak fies protecting his marines 11 years ago. his gold star sister joins us next. you do not want to miss that this memorial day weekend. ♪ you're simply the best.

ultimate sacrifice for our country. travis was killed by a while sag his group. >> here president of travis manyan foundation. reminded our audience what this is about and howp you hope they spend this holiday. >> yes. for us, i hope that everybody spends it with family and friends. i hope that everybody has an enjoyable weekend. i always say that i hope that people understand that they take a few minutes to recognize what memorial day si signify to this country and that we are enjoying ourselves because of the sacrifices that these men and women made. >> tell us why ryan was so special to you and everybody. >> he was my brother and best

friend. but travis said something before leaving for his seconddy employment to iraq. and my husband asked him why he had to go back and he said five words, it's not me, then who. and those five words have become a movement throughout this entire country. and i think it resonates. not just with the men and women who serve, they're all examples of this idea of living this ideal but also being able to pass it down to the next generation. >> the foundation participated in a lot of races and honored to be a part of has had a character strengthening program. character does matter. tell us what you want to do with that. >> really what we're trying to do with the foundation is unite communities by strengthening our national character. and we believe that men and women who serve are the catalyst to make that happen. we go out and train veterans and families of the fallen to

deliver character education to our nation's youth. >> and in that program, let me get the numbers out, last year you worked with 40,000 youth? >> slowtly absolutely. 55% of them were at-risk youth. they are the catalyst to changing the charactership np our country. >> your dad has written an amazing book about travis' life. it is an amazing story. you see photos of him and he's so full of life. he seemed so happy and honored to be serving this country. if he were here today, what message would he give the military, those who are in the position that he was that are serving. >> i think when i talk about brendon and travis and what they represent. to me, travis was my brother, brendan was my friend, they were best friends, amazing individuals. but i also think that they

represent this generation of men and women who have stepped up to selflessly serve. to thank their name and use them as an example to represent all of the men and women is the way that we can continue to bridge the divide, make sure that people understand the service and the sacrifice of these men and women. >> one of the things that's cool about the foundation is you're going right at the heart of the big issues with our country but doing it with every individual at a time. if our schools aren't doing it, you're saying we better train vets and military family member to do it and that's what you're getting after. >> absolutely. not only that but they want to do it the veterans are returning and they want to continue to give back. they're taking off the uniform but they're not not ready to serve. we want to make sure we're giving them the opportunity. >> thank you for what you family has done for this nation and thank you for being here today. >> and you're atornadoable. >adorable.and your cute 9-year-d

with ryan, her brother paying the ultimate sacrifice. for now we want to bring in diamond and silk, social media stars and of course trump supporters. diamond and silk, always good to have you on the show. want to get you thoughts off of the top here on the policy change with the nfl. a new poll is out and it shows that nfl fans overwhelmingly support the league's policy on the national anthem that if you are not going to stand for the national anthem, you can go back and go sit in the locker room. are you surprised by those stats? >> first of all, i'm very happy that the nfl is standing up for what's right. >> that's right. >> and standing up for the veterans, the patriotic fans in the stands paying money to see these players stand for the flag. this is not about a white thing or a black thing. this is about doing the right thing. >> that's right. >> and then you do the right thing you stand up, be patriotic, stand up for the veterans, salute the flag in

honor of them. our veterans didn't kneel, they stood up and fought for our freedom. it's time to stand up and honor and respect them. >> imagine what would have happened if they kneeled and surrendered and just said forget it. what do these football players do doing their off season. did they do any type of protesting? you stand for the flag ar you can kneel in the locker room or in the unloiment line. >unemployment line.>> this has e nba as well. coach of the warriors said what you're talking about is fake patriotism. what's your reaction? >> it's not fake patriotism. wait a minute. we live in one of the greatest countries on this earth. i'm sorry. you need to stand for the flag. if you don't want to stand for the flag and you don't like the patriotism that goes on in this

country and you don't like making millions of dollars, pack your knapsack and go to one of these countries where you don't have freedom. that's what you can do. but in this country you need to stand for the flag or go somewhere like a coward and hide in the locker room. >> when you kneel on the flag, your message is getting lost. if you want to protest, protest for something. people have been protesting and marching for years and what have they gotten. they're still marching and protesting talking about injustice, we want to climb up the mountain and don't realize you've made tight th it to the e mountain. if you want to protesting with go there and protest what's going on there, not the flag. >> and not on our time or dime. >> it will be interesting to see if this ends the discussion or if it continues. but we've got to get your take on another issue, somebody you

guys have been front and center on, the censoring of conservative content across social media platforms. it has been happening to you and you've been outspoken, testifying about it. we bloof it might be happening to the president's son. donald trump jr. posted this on instagram just recently saying, if this account, quote, could cause harm and even lead to death, end quote, which is what some of his followers were told, the hashtag and any conservative thought has to zopp. stop. he added zero new followers. he feels he's been censored online. would that surprise you? >> it's not surprising because it's happening to a lot of conservative voices. it's happening to the president of the united states. >> that's right. >> and it must stop. if we don't get a handle on this, we're going to have the social media platforms dictating

everything to us, telling us what we can and cannot see. we know the social media platforms like facebook and instagram and twitter are trying to win an election for the left and it is not going to work. this is censorship. suppression of forces. if they're supposed to be a platform for all ideas, you can't suppress some ideas, you can't deem them as hate. that's offensive deeming somebody like hate and making them look like they're going to die if they do pictures of their family. that's offensive and that needs to be brought to the table and that needs to stop. >> all right. great point. we did reach out to instagram for comment to get their response. we have not received one as of yet. we hope you're enjoying your memorial day weekend and clearly you are respecting the sacrifice made by those who paid the ultimate price. >> thank you very much, both. >> to their point if it can happen to the president of the united states son, it can happen

here to react, managing editor, katie frays. thanks for being with us. >> morning. >> your response, as he said yesterday, this is the 17th civilian released from another country. this shows president trump, he's not asking for something in return for the release of these hostages. he's better known or the world stage and not asking for much. >> he's not actually. and we had the anonymous source saying there was no quid pro quo. venezuela didn't get anything from this for releasing josh holt. we have to give credit to senators orrin hatch and bob corker. this is the reaction from dictatorships and regimes of looking at america's new president saying this is not someone who is going to apologize. this is not someone that's going to cow to us. this is a president that is going to say give us our american citizens back. we've had four just in the last month. of course with north korea as

well. and you can't put a value on the families, the friends of these americans getting their loved ones back where they can be in a country that is safe and free. and it's just so -- it's so wonderful. >> yeah, you saw the reuniting last night in the oval office. his mom, the look on her face, seeing her son, he's been gone for two years in prison. none of us will fully understand what he's been through. but i'm glad you mentioned orrin hatch and bob corker. there's orrin hatch right there. as you mentioned, they've been working for a couple of years on this release. give us a sense of what goes on behind the scenes for this to ultimately be successful. >> well i think there's a lot of us that we're never going to know the finer workings. but i do know that you have to be dogged. you cannot forget. and that's what i think orrin hatch and corker we were praisig caleb for. he was dogged. he did not let anyone forget,

reminding, pressing, kopting to work with the government. they met with maduro. pressed his constantly. give him back. the charges were trumped. that's what we saw, josh holt was finally released back to us and venezuela released the statement saying they were doing this in part because they wanted to keep relations with a stronger tougher america in a good place. they've been a little frosty lately with expulsion of diplomats and we came out on top. >> and the white house saying we do not support what the venezuela government does and the treatment of their people. a very powerful moment last night and we're happy for the holt family coming up, what does football legend her shall walker think of the nfl's new anthem policy. we'll ask him when he joins us live next hour. we had a blast yesterday if you were watching at the

doctor who actually sees patients on a regular basis, i disagree with the logic they're taking here. they're saying that no amount is safe. yes, if the risk slightly go up by 0.1% that makes it not safe. what i decide to say for me or my patients is totally different. that's an opinion call. what they're trying to do is make it scientific. i'm looking at the human aspect of things and that's why we have a little bit of a disagreement. >> this year an estimated over 1.7 million new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the u.s. can you tie that to diet? i mean break this down. >> well there was a study done not so long ago that showed 42% of cancer cases are caused by preventable factors and the leading cause of that was smoking, overdrinking, indoor tanning beds and being obese. yes, maybe bacon slightly contributes to that. and if you think of the people who eat huge amounts of bacon,

they're not eating healthy food. >> that's true. no fruits and veggies. that's me. i have three to four slices of bacon every day. i really do. why not celebrate tuesday. tuesday might be the last tuesday i have. if you work out, maybe you can eat bacon. >> it's not about making tradeoffs. it's about understanding what is right for you. my job is to give you the statistics so you can make your own decisions >> we got to go. thank you for the news. moderation, folks. is the russian investigation hurting the democrats chances of taking back the house? and that's all we've got. stick around. we've got some great stuff.

jong-un holding a meeting. >> jillian turner is live in washington, d.c. with the latest news this morning. jillian? >> good morning. the white house is gearing up to deploy staff overseas to singapore as it planned for several weeks in anticipation that the june 12th trump-kim summit will go forward. a statement from the press secretary reads in part, a preadvance team for singapore will leave to prepared should the summit take place. >> president trump putting a finer point on the sense of optimism last night. >> a lot of people are working on it. it's moving along nicely. we're looking at june 12th in singapore. that hasn't changed. and it's moving along pretty well. so we'll see what happens. >> this in spite of the fact that two weeks ago the white house was stood up by their north korea counterparts when they traveled to meet in advance of the planned summit also breaking this weekend, a surprise meeting between the

leaders of north and south korea yesterday morning to discuss plans for the possible summit. on the heels of that meeting, south korea president moon reaffirmed kim's commitment to a face-to-face meeting with trump and to complete denuclearization. lots of angst here in washington about the concept of denuclearization, cautioning the u.s. and the north have divergent views on what precisely the term entails. it's imperative that the two sides agree to a common understanding and set expectations before trump and kim come face to face. >> thank you so much for that. you think where we were two or three days ago, the president sending that letter, pulling out of the summit in singapore. this is how diplomacy works. it's always in many cases very unpredictable. but he made it very clear to kim jong-un and china and everyone else involved, if you're not

coming to the table to agree on what we want, we're going to walk away. >> and then every couple of decades you have the high stakes meeting or attempt to come to a conclusion with a vowed enemy. ronald reagan and the soviets. in this case north korea. we've had knock good to say about them for two decades. they've had nothing good to say about us. but suddenly we have this moment and it's come because of brinksmanship. a lot of people feel uncomfortable with it but it's what it takes to bring a dictator to the table. >> the breaking news we had yesterday on this show, the venezuelan release of joshua holt. >> not a friend of ours as well. >> this is really quite amazing. this is the video there of joshua holt after two years of being in prison. he had gone down to venezuela to marry a woman. and this is a montage of the oval office meeting.

very emotional take a look. >> i want to welcome you to the oval office, welcome you to the white house. >> i'm overwhelmed with gratitude for you guys for everything that you've done, for the support of my wife. those two years were a very difficult two years. >> mr. president i can't tell you how much i appreciate you. this wouldn't have happened without you. when you look back over your tenure in the presidency, this is just one of the many great things you're doing. we love you, boy and we want to support you. >> i appreciate it. >> i just want to say thank you to you personally for everything that you've done as well as the state department. >> not really the great vacation that i was looking for. just so grateful for what you guys have done and for thinking about me and caring about me, just a normal person. so it really touches me and i thank you. >> you have been very brave actually. you've been incredibly brave.

we saw what was happening inside of that prison so you really have been very very brave. >> a remarkable development. senator bob corker of tennessee actually flying down on friday and getting on the plane and bringing holt back. >> senator orrin hatch, the senior senator of utah, he's not running for reelection, i think this was the end of his career and what a big moment for him. he's been working with bob corker for years. imagine being in prison for two years and landing in the states going to the oval office. seeing his mom for the first time. >> people who have looked at this situation said they didn't think there was any chance he was coming home at all. no relations between our two governments. this is a testament to the president here who, a lot of times you might say these are the forgotten men and women, no one reads about or thinks about especiallexpect forthinks ofther

families. finding a way to do it through sheer force of will and diplomacy. in this case a big win and something this president has been focused on. >> there are 17 civilian hostages that have been released under the trump administration from different countries and he highlighted that stat yesterday. it's important. they've stayed on it from the very beginning. you can get lost and move on to somethingsomething else. >> he's also focused on unleerch leashing on the revelation that an fbi informant may have been inserted in his 2016 campaign. here is one of the many tweets that's coming down in the last 24 hours. he says with spies or informants as the democrats like to call them, because it sounds less sinister but it's not, all over my campaign even from an early date, why didn't the crooked

highest levels of the fbi or justice contact me to tell me of the phony russia problem. >> that's the key question right there. you can make the argument we thought russia was infiltrating so we put an agent inside your campaign. if it was for president trump's own good, you would brief them to say we're trying to get information to make sure that the russians aren't influencing you or colluding. they didn't tell them. >> nbc news is reporting that the campaign was informed, that they did let them know, whether it's russia or other countries trying to impact our election process or take advantage, they said we're taking steps. >> important nuance there. telling them the russian russiad be running around or you have a spy inside your campaign. >> why not have a spy on the hillary clinton campaign if that is the effort. if they're going after any campaign to get into our elections, there was a trump campaign, a hillary clinton campaign. >> plenty of evidence of

collusion if you wanted to say so, depending on how you define it. how about we spay on nobody for political reasons in this case or if you do it, you tell them about it. that's the huge question left unanswered this morning. >> it began in a semantics battle and it's going to develop into something larger and i believe we're going to find out more in some of our guests coming up today. the midterms are coming by the way, if you have not been paying attention. it's around the corner. there has been all of this talk about a blue wave and how the democrats are going win across the board and the rep republicas are in trouble. mitch mcconnell is saying no need to worry, there's not going to be a blue wave. this is in the "the new york times." he says democrats go all out to avoid disaster in california house races and that there's really nothing to worry about if we communicate our message. >> griff spotted this story this morning atop the "the new york

times." the other title is democrats see election perils in a blue state. california is the center of the resistance and there's reasons for it because the top two vote getters are on the ballot and if there are tons of democrats running, all of the votes to republicans, they could inwith. win. but there's a crack in the narrative. trump success is bleeding through the way voters view the world and it could change the prediction. >> california has long been dubbed the center of resistance against the trump administration and now you have a couple of factors that karl rove was pointing out that is that the president's numbers are rising with the economy is improving, whether you give the tax cuts credit or not and the fact that you have this massive overcrowding. so if the headquarters of the resistance, they're worried that you're going to have republicans getting the top two vote getters.

>> you're making a point but you can't be successful if your only policy is going up against president trump. you have to run on something. and if the economy is doing well, which it is, people vote with their pocketbooks. they're getting more in their wallet, able to spend on their children and give them a better life, it makes it tough for the democrats to articulate a message that's better. >> and they want to know what the democrats are for. we eel se>> we'll see what that. the left is slamming the trump administration over a new report that says the administration has lost 1500 immigrant children. but the next guest says that's not the whole truth. a new poll showing an overwhelming majority of the nfl plans support the league's new policy. what does football great her shalhershall walker think? we'll ask him next.

welcome back. the left and some in the media up in arms over a new report revealing that 1500 migrant children in the department of health and human services placed with the u.s. sponsors are now unaccounted for. a number of media outlets like the washington post, buzzfeed out with headlines like this. but what exactly does unaccounted for mean. here to weigh in, executive director of the center for immigration studies. mark, good morning. what is this that the government lost 1500 migrant children. >> what it means is when these unaccompanied minors -- this is people that came over, that were smuggled here by their parents but they came supposedly on their own, they were handed over to the department of health and human services, which takes care of this, and then they were placed with their illegal

immigrant relatives in the united states attacks pair expense. what this number represents is that 30 days afterwards the social workers at health and human services try to call up on the phone and say, you know, how are things going. and this number of people, 1400-something of them, they couldn't get in touch with. they can't return the phone calls or lied about what their phone numbers are, they moved. and this is exactly the same thing that happened under obama. we released a report on this a year and a half ago and there was nothing, no -- crickets. because the problem here is not that some 4-year-old is wandering the streets in the middle of the night. nothing like that is happening. the problem here is that the government has no idea where they are, therefore they're never going to show up for their hearings and they're hear illegally. under obama that was a good thing. now they're saying trump lost kids. now it's news. >> it eas it's interesting.

if you look at twitter and media outlets and some stars, alyssa milano and others tweeting this is unbelievable this has happened, comparing it in some cases as if it were the terrible story of the boc boko haram gir. being kidnapped, is this is same thing or a politicalization of the story. >> this is a classic pro propaga operation. it happened by accident. no planned it. but this is the way that propaganda works. you take a fact that's real, a kernel of truth and then you twist it in a way with the target population you're trying to manipulate. there's no question there are actually a handful of people probably of these young people who were put in some kind of bad situation. that's entirely possible. but the bulk of this problem is

that these illegal immigrants are on the run and the relatives that they were placed with don't want to talk with the government. that's why we can't get in touch with them. >> very quickly. we're almost out of town. for the practical viewers, are these kids missing . >> no, they are not missing. they're missing as far as the immigration system is concerned. we're never going to find them to return them to their own countries. it's not that they're on a milk carton somewhere there. >.>> thanks for clearing that up for us. a new poll shows an overwhelming majority of nfl fans support the league's new anthem policy. but what does the great herschel walker think about that? we'll ask him. that's coming up. hey! we didn't have a homeowners claim last year so allstate is giving us money back on our bill.

. good sunday morning. we're back with quick headlines for you. morgan freeman dropped from the visa commercials. credit card giant is suspending all markets featuring the actor after eight women are accusing him of sexual interactions. freeman denies the allegations. obama's high paying netflix deal is thanks in large part to a major campaign donor. the new york post reporting that the executive contributed nearly $600,000 to obama 2012 campaign. the new deal to produce a variety of content believed to be worth more than $50 million. >> i will save my commentary. nfl fans overwhelmingly

support the league's new national anthem policy. 53% support the move, 42% oppo oppose. here to weigh in were hear shal walker. always an honor. appreciate your time this morning. youee watched what the nfl did. they say if you're not going to stand for the anthem, you stay in the locker room. looks like 53% of fans support that policy. do you support that policy? >> well, i support the policy but i don't understand the policy. and the reason why is, first of all, the nfl made a deal with the military, they didn't want to be on the field standing. now we're going to change and we're going to put people in the locker room. but some owners say they'll pay the fine. so what the is the policy. that's where i think both sides are missed the mark. >> so the fine is leveed against the team, not the player. and i think you're referring in some part to the jets owner who said he would pay the fine to player -- for players who

demonstrate. are we going to get to a place where the policy doesn't solve anything, you've got some owners paying fines, some kneels and some stay in the locker room. is that what you're criticizing >> that's exactly right. there's no doubt that black lives matter. being african-american i can say that. i said it at the beginning. the commissioner didn't want it on his table so he pushed it down to the owners. and you want owners to be politically correct rather than be just. the way you stay just, telling everyone to stand. you're going to stand for the national anthem. to me it means more than what they're talking about. but here after this season we're going to go to washington, march on the hill and talk about this. that's what they need to do. >> you sea you're saying split e protest from the flag. and a guy like roger goodell should have realized, let's take the politics out of it. they're donating millions of

dollars to social justice causes. they're interested in that as a league. you're saying the half measures mean you're going to revisit the debate. >> the nfl gave a lot of money to a lot of the players for a situation like this, why are they still debating this. if there's something that's still wrong, which is what i've withibeen saying. the majority of the athletes in the league are african-american. the first thing the commissioner should have said when this first started with kaepernick, you're going to stand for the national anthem and after this season we're going to go to washington and i'm going to help with this situation. not pass it to the owners. and then people are upset because the owner have to tell the team what to do. he own the team. but now it's like, you can stay in the locker room, if you come out, i'll pay the fine. what did you solve? i don't think anything got solved here. >> i think on this measure you would make a great commissioner. stand on the field, protest

after the season. herschel walker, appreciate your time. thank you. well first it was amazon and now google and apple l could be hit with new taxes to fight homelessness in california. is that really the best solution for that problem plus we're putting the navy, marines and coast guard to the test on the plaza. the bone frog challenge, a real-deal obstacle course. i'm sweating. it's the obstacle course sweets cominsweatscoming up next.

considering the tax, meaning companies like google and apple would be hit the hardest. and although the tax applies to the richest companies in the country, it's the employees who will have to pay the price. is that the best way to tack tl homelessness problem? let's ask fox business networks christina. i know this in particular, homelessness is a passion of yours. you've worked on it in canada when you were there. first explain to the viewers what is going on in seattle and potentially in california. >> seattle, homelessness is the third largest homeless population in all of the united states. in california, not necessarily the same situation in certain pockets. most people think silicone valley, what are you talking about. >> san francisco is so close. >> so cles an close and it's a e problem. now they need to find way to combat that. why don't we go after the large corporations that help the booming economy but at the same

time created societal issue where you pushed out the people not working at the tech firms. what's happening in seattle is they're imposing in 2019, a $275 u.s. per head per worker tax on these companies. hoping to raise $50 million because they want to provide affordable housing and then have emergency services for homelessness. that's happening in seattle. of course you have amazon. amazon being the most vocal saying they don't support it at all. a lot of the businesses may not support it and they want to take that model and use it in san francisco now. >> what does that mean for the employees. we should talk about the companies paying for this. but that's not directly coming from the company itself. some of i falls on the employees. they're going to have to fork it. >> i think the long term effect kowlgcould be in the companies l out the company will change and jobs being relocated. that's the larger effect on the employees. the bun with a long standing

effect. overall how are you going to do it. there's two sides to it. the businesses saying we shouldn't be paying for it this, it should be the government, they need to do a better job of managing the shelters versus those people saying you're the reason why we have this big inequality gap. you're the reason people have been pushed out of the area, why rent is astronom cli high. >> do you think this is one way to combat it? >> seattle is an excellent example. what are you supposed to do. you can't say rezone the area. they need the money to do that. and here are corporations that potentially could put a little bit forward. yes they've helped the economy boom. i love business. but at the same time i've seen this in several situations across the world and yet it's not changing. they need to get the money from somewhere. >> and we see it everywhere, here in new york city it's heartbreaking and if you care, you want to do something about it. it is a passion of yours. you spent time in canada even

meeting with justin trudeau and slept on the streets to get a sense of what it's like to be homeless. >> i was a student at the time. this was in ottawa when i was doing my masters of journalism. we did this for five years, sleeping outside in the month of march, that's me under a box. we've raised over a million dollars for homeless and youth shelters. you have to tackle the problem right away. we met a lot of homeless people throughout this experience. they're sharing their story. they become accessory to the environment. people don't want to look them in the eye assuming that they're addicting the drugs or alcohol. that's not always the case. it could be for some but not all. it's raising awareness. you may not agree with it and you think she's out there, just a student. but at least we were able to connect with some people, raise awareness. hey, i know that girl, she was in any class. or i worked wither, wh wither, .

a small margin of victory. >> our campaign caught fire because we were able to inspire others. i like to use reagan's quote, the greatest leaders are not the one who does the greatest things, they're the ones that get the people to do the greatest things. they really drove our campaign to the finish line. it was an amazing thing to see. an amazing thing to see so many people get inspired. that comes from being authentic, running an honest campaign. don't necessarily tell the voter what is they want to hear but be clear with them, honest with them. >> and you say our country needs leaders not politicians. what did you tell people that they didn't want to hear that still drew them toward your campaign? >> we talk about hard issues, we talked about entitlement reform, the real world out there, the real reason we have troops overseas and why that matters. these aren't your typical political talking points but voter consis can take it.

>> the voter is smart as opposed to being done and being told what to do or they'll abin abida campaign ad ba us they saw it, you were able to kub cut through that putting the flag first. >> absolutely. a lot of hard work. veteran candidates are disciplined, we're fast learners and we can adapt to facts on the ground. staying mission focus is important when you're running a campaign like this, hundreds of thousands of dollars or millions of dollars in this case. >> did you think you could win? >> we always thought we would win. i tell you what, we always got told right away, thank you for your service, when this doesn't work out we hope you stick with it. and my wife and i saw that, no. how about we just win. why would we put ourselves through this if we didn't intend to win and that's what we did. we're proud of the way we ran the campaign. it's not over.

we still need help going into november. >> sphiems th sometimes the pols can be patronizing. you blew right through that. part of that is understanding what service means. this is memorial day weekend. we remember those who gave everything. as a vet who spent so many tours on the battlefield, talk to me about what memorial day means to you. >> i'm glad you asked. memorial day -- i mean it is about celebration. across america right now it's festive, we're barbecuing, fireworks, we're hanging out with our family. but here's the thing. memorial day to a different class of people means a different thing. and that's the warrior class. that's the men and women who have been overseas in combat and it's their families who hold down the home front. to them, here's what they ask. they ask that you do not forget to remember. and that is so important. and here's another thing we should be asking of people. remember why these men and women fell in the first place.

>> guys, the white house is gearing up to send staff overseas to singapore as it had planned to do for several weeks. this is anticipation from the june 12th trump-kim summit is going to go forward. the statement from the press secretary reads in part, a pre preadvance team for singapore will leave us scheduled in order to prepare should the summit take place. president trump putting a finer point on that sense of optimism last night. >> a lot of people are working on it. it's moving along very nicely so we're looking at june 12th in singapore. that hasn't changed. and it's moving long pretty well well. so we'll see what happens. >> this in spite of the fact that just two weeks ago the white house was stood up by their north korean counterpart that they traveled to meet in advance of the summit. also breaking this weekend, a surprise meeting between the leaders of north and south korea yesterday morning. they met to discuss the plans for the upcoming summit as well.

now, on the heels of that meeting, south korean president moon reaffirmed kim is committed to a face-to-face meeting with president trump and to complete denuclearization of the entire korean peninsula. but here in washington there's some angst. a lot of people worried about the concept of denuclearization. experts have been cautioning that the u.s. and the north have pretty divergent views on what exactly this term means and what it entails. they say it's imperative the two sides agree to a common understanding and set mutual expectations before the president and kim come face-to-face. abby: have to get it right. thank you, jillian. griff: i think this administration has been pretty clear about what they want and what they don't want. it's like we won't do what was dunn the iran deal, no money up front, no concessions up front, you better be verifiable, we're talking get rid of your nukes, no pallets of cash, and we have to have snap inspections, international observers. they've even said u.s. observers observers. i think that's a great point. if you don't have our eyes on

north korea's nuclear process, verifying that every ounce of that material they had and ability development is gone, it's not a good deal. and that's the difference between the rhetoric right now. abby: make sure they are on the same understanding before you ultimately get to singapore and sit across the table from each other and make that deal and shake shows hands 37 you remember back in 1986 -- we talked about this yesterday -- learning from history, ronald reagan dealing with gorbachev at the time and then trying to end the cold war and getting them to denuclearize and he ended up walking away once he got to iceland. so he went all the way over there and a lot of people said he was the one that was embarrassed in the end so you learn from that, we've got to make sure we're on the same page before we make that trip. griff: pete talking about the president keeping his eyes on the denuclearization, that being the prize. the president's also kept his eyes on freeing hostages from the worst places in the world, north korea. in the news yesterday breaking on this show, the release in venezuela of joshua holt. pete: sometimes there's news you weren't tracking at all. i wish i'd known about the

plight of josh holt, a citizen from utah who had been held by the venezuelan government for two years. thankfully his representatives like orrin hatch and bob corker and others had stayed focused and fought to get him freed. turns out the president played a big role at the very end and last night was there for a very emotional meeting. abby: if you missed watching this happen last night in the oval office, watch this. >> i just want to welcome you to the oval office, welcome you to the white house. >> i'm just overwhelmed with gratitude for you guys, for everything that you've done, for the support of my wife for those two years. they were very, very, very difficult two years. >> mr. president, i can't tell you how much i appreciate you. this wouldn't have happened without you. when you look back over your tenure in the presidency, this is just one of the many great things you're doing. we love you, boy, and would he just want to support you. >> thank you. i appreciate it. >> i just want to say thank you

to you personally for everything that you've done, as well as the state department. >> not really the great vacation that i was looking for. just so grateful for what you guys have done and for thinking about me and caring about me, just a normal person. so it really touches me, and i thank you. >> you've been very brace, actually. you've been incredibly brave. we saw what was happening inside of that prison. so you really have been very, very brave. abby: all right. so it tell you josh holt's story just in the past two years, he went over there two years ago, he was a mormon missionary, he went over there to meet his wife, 26 years old, he's from riverton, utah. accused of compiling weapons, that's what the venezuela government said, so they put him behind bars for two years. this has been a work in process, as you know, griff, that's why you have the center senator there orrin hatch of hewitt to get this guy released. it has been a long process.

orrin hatch with josh holt's mother, and president trump was able to free him, they didn't ask for anything in return from the venezuelan government until last night was a big moment for the whole family, but also for everyone that worked so hard to make this happen. griff: that's a key point. the context of all this, listen, venezuela was hoping to use holt as a bargaining chip to ease sanctions already in force against venezuela, the president not only getting holt free but also the administration is not moving away from lightening those sanctions out there. so that is a significant win in and of itself aside from obviously holt's release. pete: yet another forgotten man who is remembered because this president has stayed focused on fighting for u.s. citizens around the globe to come home. abby: 17 civilian hostages under the trump administration so far have been released from other countries. great news for the united states states. other headlines that we are following. we begin with some extreme weather. florida, alabama, mississippi now declaring states of

griff: welcome back. the la times headline about

border patrol council president brandon judd calling president trump's national guard deployment to the border a " "colossal waste" making major news this weekend. but is that really what he meant or is the media twisting his words? well, joining me now to set that record straight is the president of the national border patrol council president, brandon judd. brandon, good morning. how are you? >> good morning. i'm doing well. how are you? griff: you believe you were taken out of context. why? >> well, the headline, get beyond the headline. read the actual article. i mean, the quotes, i did give those quotes, there's absolutely no doubt about that, but the quotes were in fact taken out of context. what i was talking about is i was talking about the deployment of our current border patrol resources, and if we were deploying those resources correctly, would we actually need the national guard. nobody praised the president more than i did what i said, i ,

they even admitted that this deployment is not being used the same as it has been used in the past, and they went as far as coming up with something like having the national guard look into mexico as spying. well, right now as we speak, there are national guard that are looking at cameras, that are controlling cameras that are looking into mexico. so are they spying? that's just not true. so, i mean, even d.h.s. admitted that this deployment is not the same as it was in the past. griff: okay, so back up, brandon for a second. you're saying essentially that as far as a month or so multiplier which is the intent of the guard deployment in and of itself, it's not being used properly to fix the problem, so my question is, how do we fix the problem? >> well, if you look at the way we've used the national guard in

the past, when we have the national guard there, they've been in our lookout and observation posts, they've been in our static positions, they've been in our control room, and what they do is they free up those resources that otherwise have to do those jobs to allow us to go out and patrol the border. but right now, if you look at our control rooms, whereas we used to have three agents in the control room, we now still have those same three agents, just another three national guards people. and i just use three just as an example 'cause each control room is different station to station. so we're not freeing up those resources. and again, this is not a president trump issue. president trump made that decision to send the national guard which was the right decision, it was the proper decision. especially as we continue to see these numbers rise in our apprehensions. griff: right. >> president trump gave us all the momentum we needed to do the job. it was the obama holdovers that failed to follow through on his -- on the momentum that he gave

us. griff: okay. so you say who's responsible are the management, these obama holdovers. what is your message to president trump on how to manage this issue? >> well, i mean, if you look at it, he's got -- the political appointees are the right people, but this swamp is very murky. and it's a very big swamp in d.h.s. you know, we talk about the f.b.i. and how it's been politicized. well, d.h.s. has been politicized since its inception. immigration is a hot topic. secretary nielsen is a very intelligent individual, commissioner macklin. but it's going to take time to drain the swamp of all those individuals that were against president trump and those individuals that continue to get promoted within our agency. griff: so brandon yesterday we had deputy commissioner ronald v vatello, he pointed to more than a thousand arrests. are you disagreeing with the case he made yesterday on this show?

>> i'm not completely disagreeing that the national guard has been a help. they have been a help, but the problem is, i mean, the agents when they read this and they heard about that, i got a huge outpouring from the agents saying, look, they're just cooking the books. i got text messages after text messages saying that the national guard, as long as they're, quote, unquote, "on paper" doing an operation, even if they're not there when an apprehension takes place, they get credit for that apprehension apprehension. and so those numbers are completely skewed. griff: all right, brandon. thank you for clarifying what you had told the la times and also bring us us up to speed on what's happening down on that border. it's such a crucial issue, 1600 national guard troops deployed so far, another 750 coming. brandon, thank you very much. >> thank you. griff: the historic vote making international headlines, ireland moving to repeal its abortion law, a big shift for a country made up of many catholics. is this a sign that religious, especially christianity, is

explain. frank, thank you very much for joining us this morning. first of all, i love your premise. i understand where you're coming from on this, but then the logistics of a country of 300 million people giving one year of compulsory military service, we see it in countries like israel that have an existential threat. how would you stop it from ballooning into a behemoth? >> it's not just israel. it's a lot of other countries as well, countries that are fairly pacific, and it's not just about war. it's about really adding an extra year of education. i mean, right now it's compulsory education, k to 12, k to age 16, and i'm saying, okay, what if we added one extra year? because what that would do would be to teach our students something they don't get from their k-12 education, which is a sense of responsibility, a love of the country, and also the idea that we're all part of one american family, right?

i mean, on memorial day, maybe we should remember that the one thing which really serves to unify the country more than anything else has been service in the military. people in the military are -- have better values and a stronger sense of identification with the country. and one extra year of effectively schooling in the military would not be a bad idea then. abby: let's get back to the original problem and why you wanted to write this piece because you say other than education being there to inform people and educate them you say it was supposed instill a love of our country, you talked about unite us to bring people of every race and every class together. you say education is not doing that so talk to us about the root of the problem and if it isn't a draft, because the reality is we don't have a draft what is the answer to that problem? >> public schools are supposed to do a couple things. one is educate or kids. they don't do that very well. i mean, we're an honorary member of the third world as far as that goes, but the other stuff

is the stuff that they used to do. public school used to be the most american thing about america. and you'd get out of public school learning some pretty good values. and now, the teaching corps has completely abandoned that mission. where you would find it would be in the military. so i'm saying one extra year, you know, up to now it's age, you know, -- to age 16, add another near. griff: frank, it's a great idea and, you know, to really teach those who have not participated in the service what it's all about would be great. but do you really believe with the culture of our public schools today, that you're going to have these teachers, particularly in the latter years encouraging their students to really get fired up to go serve their nation in the history in this culture? >> no, not at all. and that's the point. the teacher corps, you know, the national education association will be completely opposed to that. why? because it would teach a love of

america, it would teach personal responsibility, all the things they hate. so, yeah, all the more reason why we should do it. the only people i feel sorry about for in all of this would be the drill instructors. [laughter] pete: you and me both. go to basic training, basic military service near where they live, is that the concept? >> that's dreaded basically, one extra year. pete: one x-ray year, infuse values the public schools are not doing now. abby: if you're not going to join the military, get to know these men and women, because as you said they are outstanding individuals and they are what makes this country so great. frank buckley, interesting piece if you haven't already read it, thanks for being with us this morning, and have a great weekend. >> thank you. pete: thank you, sir. all right. well, former obama d.o.j. official sally yates claims the d.o.j. operates free of politics politics. really? congressman ron desantis here to respond coming up. abby: and a historic vote making internationals headlines. ireland moving to repeal its abortion law. big shift for a country made up of many catholics. is this a sign that religion,

people in? is that a good thing or should we stick to the original tenets? that is the core question here, should religion stay conservative to the core tenets or follow the progressive trends trends-of-society? let's bring in our religious panel to discuss. dr. menezafridi is a muslim scholarly, dr. razz is the national leadership conference, rabbi cooper is an associate dean is he simon wiesenthal center, and father jonathan morris is a fox news religion contributor. a great panel. i could start it out this way. a muslim scholar, evangelical pastor, and catholic piece enter a jar. but i won't. it would be the start of a great joke. no laughing matter, a serious subject. father john, i want to start with you. ireland, a predominantly catholic country, what is this vote saying about the current status of the catholic church? >> we should be clear that the leadership of the cache stood up against the repeal of this amendment, so it wasn't that the

catholic church has said no, this is the direction we want to go in. but they did not have the authority or the persuasiveness sufficient in order to say "no" to this repeal of this amendment amendment. and so it says that, unfortunately, society has moved in this direction so strongly of pro-abortion, you call it what you want, you could say no, it's just, you know, we're just allowing free choice, but the united states of america alone since we've had upwards of 40 million abortions. 40 million? that is a huge number, and the fact that ireland, a catholic country, a christian country is going in that direction is nothing to celebrate. pete: abraham, you call it a protest vote. why? >> well, i think what we're looking at in ireland is an embrace of the, you know, eu environment. ireland's done very well by taking a lead in the european

union. and, you know, as an orthodox rabbi it's not for me to comment on which a the church should do, but clearly that society that has made a move and now you have a church where it's still a predominant faith, there's predominant teachers, but there has to be a shift in terms of persuasion rather than the starting point, well, these are the rules, you follow them, you know, our way or out the door. it is a pivotal moment. pete: samuel, pivotal moment overall as well, from an evangelical perspective, is progressivism creeping into our faith? and if so, what impact is that having on not just ireland, but america and the world at large? >> well, the idea of progressive christianity is oxymoronic in its depiction and its expression expression. you can't have both progressive christianity. let me explain. christianity is about the gospel the go to sleep of jesus never changes. it's truth, love, grace, hope, and faith, regardless of the

time, the culture, society. truth, love, grace, and hope should never be sacrificed on the altar of political, cultural or sexual expediency. pete: absolutely. menaz, briefly on this, what does islam have to say about abortion and life as it pertains not just to ireland but the whole issue? >> well, islam, like all the other abrahamic faiths, believes that, you know, there is a value of human life. however, it's also a very practical religion where there have been certain legal scholars that have said that if there is a danger of mother's health or there is some kind of disease, that it is permissible under a certain kind of legal situation. it's not that muslims don't -- are promoting abortion at all, but i think that there are certain loopholes in the islamic law, and there are certain fatwa fatwas which is just a legal

opinion from scholars that do allow it under certain circumstances. it's a very multilayered issue. i'm the only woman here on the panel so i would like to say that it is an issue that's very complex for all women, whether they are pro-abortion or against abortion. pete: of course. >> i also don't like the term " "pro-abortion." i don't think anyone is pro- pro-abortion. i think we're all pro-life and it's about how we see life is important to us in our faith. pete: one more topic, try to get you all to chime in on it briefly. is the u.s. plummeting birthright a sign that a focus on family values are diminishing diminishing? the new stats from the national center for health statistics shows that less babies are being born in the united states. the replacement rate is generally two kids per family, but you see those numbers, the number of babies born per year is dropping. father john, let me start with you. the stereotype of course is that catholic families have lots of kids. if that is changing, would that be a sign that the view of families is changing for catholics as well? >> i think so.

i mean, i think the sexual revolution has affected the catholic church, the united states of america in a profound way, saying sex has nothing to do with procreation. and it's not all about procreation. it's also about the unitiv action, but there's also very practical political things that are changing in the united states. for example, people are graduating from college with $200,000 of debt, and are they going to get married to somebody who has $200,000 of debt and start off a family that's $400,000 of debt and have children? it's not easy. that's why politics matter. also very important things like family l.fe pete: abraham, for each of you within i want to get you all in, i don't have that much time yet. what is about birthrate that matters in demographics? >> take a look at our two allies japan and israel. japan's very affluent. they're probably going to go from 130 million to 80 million

people. they're not bringing children into the world. i think they've lost their values. israel, you you guys cover them every day, it's under the gun, existential threats. the birthrate among religious and secular people is going up because they have a sense of their past and future. as far as america, it's called the iphone. this is the me generation. my suggestion is shut the damn thing off and go back to basic values. pete: samuel, why do kids matter matter? >> kids matter. it's a de facto outcome of a constant mockery of the institution of the family. we see that culturally in films and movie and content, in writings, publications, social media. the family now is a joke, and even the idea of a modern family a traditional family for whatever -- however you want to describe it is a joke. so it's under assault, kids matter, it's the future of america, the future of morality and spirituality, the future of our human existence indeed. pete: menaz, you speculate that the economy has something to do with birthrates as well. >> absolutely.

i mean, i think if you look at statistics and if you look at data, women are having kids later, women have trouble having kids later because they're looking for a professional life. they have to both be working, a man and woman or any kind of relationship you have to both have incomes. i think the economic factor in the united states makes it very hard for middle class and lower middle class families to have a whole realistic economic plan. and i think that people are getting married later, even in the muslim-american community i see this as a big impact. pete: it's an amazing cultural conversation because in the west families are having less kids, but a lot of the refugee or immigrant populations moving into those countries are having more kids, which changes the whole religious, cultural, and social dynamic in those countries. it truly matters. we're going to have you guys back, i have a feeling, on future sundays. menaz, samuel, abraham, jonathan smart folks. appreciate your faith as well.

of a politically orchestrated spy ring to hurt president trump trump's campaign. gop congressman ron desantis joins us now with his reaction. good morning, congressman. hope you're enjoying this memorial day weekend. how are you after. >> good morning. how are you? griff: good. so did you have anything your reaction to ms. yates there? >> a couple things. what she's saying is that there should be a division between justice and white house which she's saying is that she thinks elite bureaucrats like her should be independently of any accountability or oversight. and we're seeing that with the justice department fighting congress, with we're trying to get facts about how they handle this trump and hillary investigations. and so what she is saying is much different than the constitution that the founding fathers set up. and i think she's also somebody that is coming under scrutiny from what we're trying to un uncover in congress because she was involved in the fisa application that has been so controversial, she was involved in the michael flynn interrogation in terms of trying

to say there was a logan act thing. so there's all kind of questions about her conduct, and i think that she probably's best to maybe button it up a little bit. griff: congressman, will her name come up, then? you are a member of the judiciary and the oversight government reform committee, you have the investigation looking into the clinton email scandal. you're also looking at the f.b.i. informant story. are you going to talk with her? >> so here's where i think she plays in with the clinton stuff is you remember andrew mccabe in the portion of the ig report that's been released, mccabe said someone from sally yates' office and mccabe's got credibility issues call and said "hey, shut down the clinton investigation investigation." this is right during the heat of the election. so that would have come from sally yates, so we absolutely need to probe her role in how this clinton foundation investigation was spiked. and then, yes, with the informant, remember, this guy, who directed him was, was justice involved, who at the

f.b.i. was involved? they really have been investigating trump in some way since the spring of 2016 when loretta lynch and comey decided we're not going to brief trump's campaign about possible russian activity. i think that was a deliberate choice because they wanted to get dirt on the future president president. abby: congressman, switching gears here, i want to get your thoughts on something going on in florida. a popular grocery store, publix, if you've ever been to florida and you've not gone to publix and gotten one of their subs, they will change your life, but some controversy, they have now suspended any political giving, making political contributions in the wake of mounting pressure over its support of adam putnam who you know is running as a republican candidate for governor of that state. he strongly supports the nra and he's a congressman. you don't agree with this decision. you say that this is caving in to pressure. and just to be clear here, publix, the grocery store has given across the board to political causes, not just on the republican side or to a pro- pro-nra candidate. you say they're caving in, this

is not the decision they should have made? >> yeah, you don't agree with a lot of their contributions, but they should not let the inmates run the asylum. i mean, people go and shop for grocery stores, they see a bunch of people laying around? that's not exactly good for their experience. it kind of gives meaning to the idea that there's a cleanup on aisle 6. so i think when you let the left pressure you into backing down, that's a mistake. what the left's trying to do is make the second amendment toxic, and i think people like me, you know, we need to stand for all of our constitutional rights, including the second amendment. but these private companies should not be bullied so easily. i think publix made a big miss. abby: they said it's not about guns, we are supporting this candidate because he is pro- pro-business. that's what we're supportive of. now they've backed away. great to have you on, congressman. have a great weekend. >> thank you. abby: thousands of bikers are about to roar through our nation nation's capital for a memorial day tradition. we are live at the kickoff of rolling thunder.

what is your message that you want the nation to hear today? >> well, i think anybody don't want to stand for our national anthem should leave our country, these baseball, football players all the sports players. if they cannot respect our country, they should be fined, and if they do it a couple of times, they should be fired. there's plenty of people out there, good americans, who want to play ball, and if they cannot respect our flag, our country, our national anthem, we don't need 'em. abby: yeah. well, the ride is today, rolling thunder. i imagine there will be american flags everywhere. everyone will be standing for that anthem. just quickly before we let you go, how many people are coming out today for this ride? >> everybody stands for our national anthem, everybody salutes our flag. griff: artie muller -- the people here today are the true americans. griff: they are indeed. abby: thank you, artie. griff: some 400,000 bikers expected today and gunny

do not take prolia® if you have low blood calcium, are pregnant, are allergic to it, or take xgeva®. serious allergic reactions, like low blood pressure; trouble breathing; throat tightness; face, lip or tongue swelling, rash, itching or hives have happened. tell your doctor about dental problems, as severe jaw bone problems may happen or new or unusual pain in your hip, groin, or thigh, as unusual thigh bone fractures have occurred. speak to your doctor before stopping prolia®, as spine and other bone fractures have occurred. prolia® can cause serious side effects, like low blood calcium; serious infections, which could need hospitalization; skin problems; and severe bone, joint, or muscle pain. if your bones aren't getting stronger isn't it time for a new direction? why wait? ask your doctor about prolia. so, howell...going? we had a vacation early in our marriage that kinda put us in a hole. go someplace exotic? yeah, bermuda. a hospital in bermuda. a hospital in bermuda. what? what happened? i got a little over-confident on a moped. even with insurance, we had to dip into our 401(k) so it set us back a little bit.

sacrifice but also wants america to enjoy the weekend while remembering them and we've had you send us some photos of your proud american. we have some of those now. abby: this is donna sent a photo says remembering and honoring her son marine corps captain ryan ian killed back in 2011. griff: this from marshall her cousin sargent brian clark who gave his life fighting in vietnam in 1966. pete: and janice sends this one of her great uncle who died on board the uss astoria which sank during world war ii. we remember him and all of the servicemen and women who died for this country. keep e-mailing us your tribute photos to friends@foxnews.com we want to see the fallen heros also your proud american pictures, we sit here a little somber today. we're celebrating we're ready to be with family. it's a patriotic weekend but you realize there's some that are not here with us. abby: yeah.

and do you know what? a reminder of the history of this country and all that we've been through and because of their sacrifices we are still the most powerful country in the world and we still have our freedoms and we're still fighting for those every single day. you look at the news going on this morning the breaking news with north korea and how the summit could still be going on, and you know, history is such an important part of where we are today we learn from it but we also as you said are so grateful for the men and women. pete: think about all those who poured blood into the korean soil during the korean war and there's a reason why the dmz is still there and the communist chinese are backing the north koreans and why we're still backing the south koreans and why the historic meetings are something of history and why it's not easy to get kim jong-un , a stooge of the chinese to the same table as the united states president. somehow after canceling the meeting and then having a meeting between those two it looks like we're close to potentially still having that meeting. abby: yeah, so this is, these are images and video coming in it was breaking two nights ago

happen again on the dmz. the president of south korea right there meeting with kim jong-un trying to get these talks going again, trying to potentially summit still on jung talks are going well in singapore on june 12, if you weren't paying attention yesterday here is what the president had to say. president trump: we're doing very well in terms of the summit with north korea, as you know there are meetings going on as we speak and i think there's a lot of goodwill and people want to see if we can get the meeting and get something done. if we got that donald if we can be successful in the denuclearization of the korean peninsula, a lot of people are working on it. it's moving along very nicely, so we're looking at june 12 in singapore. that hasn't changed and it's moving along pretty well. so we'll see what happens. griff: one of the interesting developments in that meeting between kim jong-un and moon was

that he reported that kim jong-un has a fixed will about this meeting taking place. that's significant. you know, senator lindsay graham though pete you mentioned china, senator lindsay grandma long with judge janeen last night talking about the role china could play. >> john kerry and obama would crawl through glass to get a deal. trump is not going to do that with north korea. china pulled north korea back and i think china thought this thing was getting out of hand. china believes that they can play trump. i think north korea believes they can play trump. here is what they're going to learn. they can't. there would be knee nuclear north korea without china. there would never be the end of this diplomatically without china. what china needs to understand if you don't help us through diplomacy the war will be in your backyard not ours. abby: that's maybe the one thing that could impact china because they want to be the dominant player in that region but if it means war and if it means threatening war they might back

down a bit but i think lindsay graham makes a good point there if it's about ultimately making a bad deal we're not willing to do that and the president pulling out a few days ago making that clear not just to north korea but to china and everyone else involved saying we're going to get what we want out of this and we're not going to stand for something that we're not proud of, a deal that we are not happy within the end. pete: china has been concerned about reunification of the korean peninsula because there's a western power right on their edge and the refugee problem so the rhetoric and pressure on china not unrelated to what's happening in north korea and again june 12 apparently still on the planning some of the secret service ats are going as if it will happen. doesn't mean it will but ultimately could be the start of a meaningful meeting. abby: the president wants this to happen. kim jong-un made it clear he wants this to happen. what it's going to come down is having the same understanding of what it means to denuclearize in that region and north korea and they have to be on the same page before they go to singapore and

meet face to face. griff: there's also another headline we want to talk about and that's the la times headline which said the border patrol union calls trump's national guard deployment a cold os all waste, we talked to that barder patrol brandon jud earlier and this is what he told them. >> the quotes were in fact taken out of context what i was talking about is i was talking about the deployment of our current border patrol resources and if we were deploying those resources correctly would we actually need the national guard this is not a president trump issue. president trump made that decision to send the national guard which was the right decision. president trump gave us all the momentum we needed to do the job it was the obama oldovers that failed to follow through on his, on the momentum he gave us. griff: so 1,600 guard troops have been deployed so far another 750 likely coming in days, but judd clarifying both

his comments and also saying we've got to get it right, with the deployment and wants to see that managed better. pete: he support the the deployment, about the caravan, shortly thereafter the president made the call because the border wasn't secure to send the national guard down there question is whether it was the right call question is how would these guard guys be used in a summit deployed for state level missions can oftentimes be a disconnect between what's happening on the ground the intention of what's supposed to happen and what's being briefed back to washington d.c. saying the metrics aren't quite what they need to be and we need to use them properly in the right slot and not be so redundant. that's different than the national guard is a disaster. abby: well you remember brandon judd was on the show and he brought all of what's going on in the border to our attention. you could argue he's the one that led to where we are now. he's the one that wants the very best for this nation and the main point of your interview which is a great one is you've got to read beyond the headlines because a lot of people want to tell their story that fits their narrative and you've got to get

it right. griff: he said obama holdovers, to give that context just about a year and a half into president obama's administration in 2010 right? he deployed similar national guard to the border and brandon told me in a telephone call that said back then, they got it right because the holdovers were president bush holdovers and they knew how to do it correctly and now when he says obama hold overs now, he's talking about those that don't know how to properly -- pete: because it was a very different view of enforcement during that administration than there is now and it's enforced in the rule of law. maybe not even confusion but undermining could happen. abby: well you send two people to do the exact same job and he said we've got to make it more efficient and effective. well it's a great interview always good to get his perspective because he's on the frontlines. there's a lot going on i do want to bring you other headlines and we do begin with some extreme weather, florida, alabama, mississippi now declaring states of emergencies as sub tropical

back in the mix with vice president pence's pack. abby: scaramucci is doing just fine for himself. he's all over the map. pete: let's move on president trump now says things are going very well for a potential summit with north korea, but our next guest says there's one thing that will make or break this meeting. harry casianas is on deck. griff: plus this purple heart was stolen from one veteran family months ago but they just got it back thanks to a total stranger. the heartwarming story you have to hear that's coming up. fearless is a wild animal.

denuclearization of the korean peninsula. griff: president trump still sounding optimistic about a potential summit with north korea. we're getting reaction from harry kazianis director for defense studies at the center for the national interest. good morning, harry how are you? >> hi, how are you? griff: what do you make of this incredible meeting just north of the dmz and what does it mean? >> well the thing i'm concerned about here griff is looking at the commentary from president moon last night he gave a press conference discussing about everything that he had spoken about with kim jong-un. the thing that bothers me is kim jong-un once again declared that he was willing to denuclearize. the problem is theres no plan yet, you know, if he is offering to denuclearize in sort of an aspirational sort of way, 10, 20 years down the line that's not going to work and if that's all kim jong-un is offering president trump should not go to singapore. griff: so what happens next? so here we have the administration sending people to

singapore for planning, you know this has been very unorthodox but president trump was able to get kim jong-un to the table and now maybe what is the next step here? >> well the president has done a great job thus far. you have to give him a lot of credit. we were on the brink of nuclear war going back to november or december but the thing we need to do now is we have planning teams going to singapore that might already be there and potentially working with the north koreans. the thing i'm afraid of is when we tried to do this once before north koreans didn't show up to the planning meeting and that might have already taken place we don't know. if that hasn't happened and we're still having a jam here we don't know what the north korean s are going to do my solution is simple get mike pompeo on a plane third time is a charm send it back look kim jong-un in the eye and say look, are you willing to denuclearize or not. if yes, the plan works send trump to singapore. if he says no, he's not willing to do it, mike pompeo shakes kim 's hand and maximum pressure continues. that's it.

griff: harry i want to ask the letter that president trump sent to kim jong-un the first of this kind ever between a president and leader of north korea, is it your sense of that really played a role in this latest development? >> i think it absolutely did because it showed president just luke he's always said. he keeps his word. if kim jong-un is going to make threats of a nuclear showdown, there's no way that president trump could have gone to singapore and given kim jong-un essential legitimaticy. you don't go to a summit when you're essentially being threatened with nuclear bombs so the president made the right call and now the ball is in kim jong-un's court. if he wants to make a deal he knows what he needs to do. he needs to put a plan on the table to get rid of his nuke. griff: quickly because we're almost out of time the critics, nancy pelosi and others saying this has just been a win for kim no that's fake news to be honest with you. the president is working extreme ly hard on this. he's invested a lot of political capital but trying to keep the country safe and who cares what

your affiliation is democrat or republican he's doing it best. griff: harry kazianis thank you very much for joining us this morning. >> thanks. griff: our next guest has a powerful message for everyone this memorial day weekend. remember our fallen warriors. navy seal joins us live, that's coming up. you don't want to miss it. hey! we didn't have a homeowners claim last year so allstate is giving us money back on our bill. well, that seems fair. we didn't use it. wish we got money back on gym memberships. get money back hilarious. with claim-free rewards. switching to allstate is worth it.

the tennessee republican is locked in a close race to replace retiring gop senator bob corker and on friday former attorney general eric holder will appear in a high profile event with rumors of a possible 2020 presidential run. pete whose not running in 2020? pete: [laughter] everyone. all right it's memorial day weekend and our next guest has a fox news op-ed reminds us to never forget why we celebrate. he writes this in part. "this memorial day, remember me, the fallen warrior. remember what i sacrificed, so you can truly appreciate the incredible treasures you have. you have the joys of life, the joys that i gave up, that came from sacrifice, the supreme sacrifice." the author of that powerful message is here former navy seal jack o with, jocko willink, the offer of the way of the warrior, a fantastic kids book i've got a little nugget to sharon that but add-on to that why did you write

that and what does memorial day mean to you? >> well one of the biggest parts i wanted to get across in that piece was to remind people that these warriors that we remember today they weren't just warriors they weren't just soldiers, sailors, air men and marines they were also people. they were human beings they were husband's and wives and sons and daughters, they have families they had hoped and dreams and so it's not just the character that you picture in a movie that's wearing a uniform no it's a real person a person like you that sacrificed everything for us. pete: do you feel like too many have forgotten that today that ultimately it's about mattress sales and barbecues? >> i live in a very strong military town of san diego, california where there's a lot of marines and sailors and i think san diego does a great job in remembering but again, i just want to make sure that people remember that these servicemen that sacrificed themselves, they're people and i think that's the most important thing for my perspective. pete: well, raising men who put their lives on the line is

something that parents do and hopefully our culture reinforces but we've seen an example recently this 30 year old was evicted from his own house and the north korea post wrote this op-ed saying dead beat son is a sign of america's failure to raise boys is the headline. do you feel like this is an absurd example of this 30 year old who fought his own parents to stay to live at home but are we failing our sons by failing to teach them how to be men? >> well i can tell you i still work with the military and the men out there, the young men in this generation. they're out there holding the line fake our for fathers did so i don't think you can't look at the whole generation and say we've done something wrong but at the same time there's certainly some changes in our culture right now and as you mentioned it's one of the reasons why i wrote the book, that series, because i think that young boys and girls and it's written for both they need to be told that it's okay to be strong, that it's okay to try and work to be smart, that hard work is going to get you somewhere in life and personal discipline goes a long way. pete: well jocko, you've

affected my own life and my own seven-year-old boy because he loved diary of a wimpy kid. it's a fun book and here is a picture of my oldest son gunner just this morning, way of the warrior kid he's not faking it half way through and only had it for a couple of days. what is the key message you're trying to get to boys like gunne r whose seven who says you don't need to be wimpy but a warrior. >> i think that's your parents as well. if you raise your kids to be strong, if you raise your kids to be capable they're going to have better lives. the more discipline they have the more freedom they have as well and that's the message i'm trying to put across to kids. pete: absolutely and a little bit different than the women pi kid series? >> yeah, it's a little bit different than wimpy kid series i didn't want to be raising any wimpy kids in my house. pete: i agree and we were supposed to do an obstacle course but it's raining so we might not get to it i have a feeling you would have executed it anyway is that fair? >> don't let that rain stop you

pete. pete: i'm trying i need help. appreciate your time the book way of a warrior kid is fantastic and thank you for your message on this memorial day we appreciate it. >> thanks for having me on. pete: coming up apparently bash ing president trump runs in the family. chelsea clinton in a brand new interview now says the president "degrades what it means to be an american." we'll bring you what she said, more of it next, plus the 78th army band is performing live in studio for our memorial day weekend edition this sunday here they are with the u.s. air force song. play us out. >> ♪ ♪ the best simple dishes ever?

abby: pete that song went out to you. pete: thank you the 78th army band been playing for us all morning. was wondering when they get to the army. abby: i wish we had them here every morning they've been fabulous so shout out to them and of course we're all honoring memorial day and we've asked you to send in photos of members of your family or friends that you love that you've lost, fighting for all of us and paid the ultimate sacrifice so keep sending us these coming in are proud americans because we've got the proud american campaign, proud american this comes in from victor, pictured with his son derrick who just graduated from the air force boot camp. pete: he looks happy. griff: way to go and vickie sends this picture of her husband and son, representing two generations of the navy. pete: cool. luanna sends these one of her father who served in the air force for 22 years and her grandson whose serving now. abby: i love those generational photo. pete: because a lot of these

military families are. you served. abby: my family. pete: some are brand new to it thank you all for your service to this country, proud american keep them coming in. abby: we have other headlines i want to bring you this morning, robert kennedy jr. says he is not convinced that the man behind bars for his father's assassination is the one who killed hill kennedy telling the washington post he was disturbed by the evidence of lack there of during his 1969 trial and admitted to the shooting but claimed he didn't remember pulling the trigger. robert kennedy was shot to death leaving a campaign event in la while running for president we all remember that so that is some big news there. all right well geothermal power plant is being threatened in hawaii but the area still remains dangerous and an additional 2,000 people have been ordered to evacuate as intensifying vol can being activity threatens more homes so far lava destroyed 82 structures on the big island and also this prejudice is deeply rooted in

america that's the new message from starbucks. the company releasing a preview of its bias training for staff, watch. >> it will grow to reflect the realities of our abilities, ethnicities, gender identities and expression, sexual identity, class, language, citizenship, political views, religious affiliations and more. abby: starbucks is closing more than 8,000 stores on tuesday afternoon to conduct the four- hour training triggered by the arrest of two black men inside a philadelphia store that happened last month. the coffee giant announcing it will now allow anyone inside of their stores whether they are paying customers or not. so anyone can come in and use their bathrooms. and an expecting couple making an unexpected discovery, jeff and kerry reuniting an oregon woman with her late father's purple heart after stolen from her mother's home. the couple finding the medal in an old rv connecting with his family on facebook. >> i appreciate it very much

and it really means a lot to our family. abby: that is amazing the korean war veteran died back in 2011 and they say they're naming their baby boy after him when he is born later this summer in august. wow that is pretty powerful. pete: great story for sure. a neat guy right over there. rick richmuth. abby: we're so good at tosses rick. rick: we don't have a camera. pete: no but you are right there rick: i look like this and you look this way it will look like -- abby: there is a lot going on in this country. rick: one thing we haven't talked at all is the heat and the central part of the country is baking 93 degrees for a high temperature in fogger o, 95 in chicago, 96 in kansas city you get the idea it's very hot. tomorrow same story 95 again in chicago so be very careful if you're outside here, if you have any elderly friends or neighbor check in on them also maybe they don't have the ac on. down across parts of the south the storms one set of storms another one up across the parts of the northeast, water rescues

going on across parts of new jersey very heavy rain around parts of pennsylvania obviously this is alberto and this is the big thing we're talking about kind of split apart very heavy rain to the eastern side of florida and then the center or what is trying to become the center of the storm is here across parts of the eastern gulf we might get breaks of sunshine across parts of florida throughout the day but the storm continues to pull towards the north making a landfall some time tomorrow across parts of the florida panhandle everybody getting rain eventually from this because of that we'll watch very closely for a lot of flooding. abby: it is flooding outside here too rick thank you so much. rick: you bet. pete: well a story just caught our eye. chelsea clinton of course has been i believe she has a book coming out. abby: she has a kid book out. pete: a kid book coming out so she gave an interview to the guardian and a couple as you can imagine was asked by a friendly reporter about president trump and there's a couple nuggets of the former first daughter talking about the president. first is about when he may go to the uk, president trump may go

to the uk in july to visit that country. this is what chelsea clinton said about that visit. she said, "if i lived in britain , i would show up to protest because i don't agree with what he's doing to den e grade what it means to be an american. " abby: that's what you want to hear on memorial weekend. pete: protesting your own country in someone else's country like when they didn't stand for the anthem, it's even worse in that sense. listen she's got the right to protest all she wants i just don't like that. abby: the interview goes on and on that was just some of it and she talks more about hate, griff griff: yeah she says in this interview with the guardian that this administration is not only mainstreamed hate but lined it which is really quite strong language actually if we can just put that quote up i believe we've got it there you go. now, i've come to feel differently because i think that the way that our president and many people around him have not only mainstreamed hate but main

lined it, it is so deeply dangerous. those are perhaps the harshest words that have come out of chelsea clinton's mouth. abby: she also has some -- pete: before we get to the ivanka thing too it's the motives of the other. like i'm a conservative i don't agree with a lot of liberals but it doesn't moan i think their heart is bad or they're evil people. she's assuming because president trump presumes different policies they're motivated by the rule of hate. abby: yeah, so you mentioned she talks about ivanka trump who they were friends by the way before this election happened in 2016. what is what she says about ivanka. she says she's an adult she can make the choices for herself she's 36, we are responsible for our choices in 2008 i was really proud to support my mom but i disagreed with her fundamentally on a few things particularly her then opposition to equal marriage rights, i never defend ed that position because it wasn't what i believed was the right thing to do, ivanka is complicit with whatever her dad

does or says. griff: it's interesting to hear this really for the first time, this is just sort of coming out this story, for reporters who cover politics like myself you wonder is she gearing up for a political run because this is really strong rhetoric. i mean this is not something that is going to be ignored in any corner whether you're republican or democrat this is a vicious attack and if it's not preceding a run for congress, it's really quite puzzling and so what was the motivation here? abby: it is interesting because she does take that moment where she talks about ivanka to separate herself on issues like gay rights where she says i am different than hillary clinton, my mom and former president barack obama when they weren't originally supportive of gay marriage and lgbt rights and said i've always been an advocate for that so it does highlight she's going to run for office and trying to get her point across but just it's frustrating for a lot of americans when you have people like that that have been in

politics go across the pond and say such judgment all things about people who are currently in office. pete: she knows better she knows what she's saying she's been in a tough pot under public scrutiny her entire life and she talks about that and that's very real but take her mom's position in 2008. would she have described her moms position as hateful of lesbians or gays and again the motives of your opposition. just because donald trump has different views on immigration doesn't make him hateful but yet they throw that label out there loosely and it is an unfortunate -- abby: and racism and all those things. she also says freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom of consequences to which you could say well elections do have consequences people went to the voting booth and said they support a lot of things president trump was campaigning on. griff: and you have the freedom to let us know what you think about that e-mail us at friends@ foxnews.com. pete: headlines coming out of that interview. abby: the media overwhelmed by the back and forth over president trump's potential summit with north korea.

>> what's korean for whiplash? it's the ultimate culture clash. >> there goes that nobel peace prize. abby: whether the summit happens or not has the media coverage been fair? we are going to debate that's next. griff: plus is it time to reinstate the draft? one author says it's the best way to fight entitlement along graduates your e-mails on that coming up. >> ♪ ♪ hold on dad... liberty did what? yeah, liberty mutual 24-hour roadside assistance helped him to fix his flat so he could get home safely. my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. don't worry - i know what a lug wrench is, dad. is this a lug wrench? maybe? you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance.

he suggests the possibility of instead of one additional year of high school you could look at one addition additional year of military training. listen to what frank buckley said. listen. >> it's not just about war. it's about really adding an extra year of education. what that would do would be to teach our students something they don't get from their k-12 education. the idea that we're all part of one american family, right? i mean, on memorial day maybe we should remember the one thing which really serves to unify the country more than anything else has been service in the military pete: not just entitlements but liberal indoctrination and we're not undoing that oftentimes. griff: he also gave us a great comment to think how this would be played out and he said he felt sorry most for drill instructors because you'd have so many kids who didn't want to be there but really actually hits home teaching so many what

service means, what the price, you know it is memorial day weekend and to have assumed the responsibility to defend our freedom and pay the ultimate sacrifice that is ultimately the ultimate in of service so we would be teaching all of them. we have in israel and other countries these mandatory service so that least you just understand if only you give a simple one year, you have a better appreciation for the freedom to enjoy. abby: for this country and also learn respect, you learn how to be a good citizen both my brothers in the navy every time i see them you don't ask whose president because you step up and serve and you are proud to be an american and proud to fight for this great country so it's an interesting idea. we've asked for your comments about this and so keep sending us your thoughts friends@foxnews .com. pete: gary says i think it would be a great idea to reinstate the draft, every able young man, potentially women too should

have to serve this country. abby: do we have another one coming in? all right this one is in from joseph it's sad to see what the majority of our kids are being taught. it's indoctrination not education. i'm for two years military service not one, so okay. pete: doubling down. griff: getting your e-mails one more from pam. i agree with what was said that the culture has become a very self-serving culture without any regard to community service; however that does not fall solely on the education. pete: that's a good point you got the 30 year old trying to get evicted. abby: and parents that are involved too. pete: big role here too parents one quick message. remind your kids what memorial day is before you start grilling tomorrow tell them why you're doing what you're doing and why a day off school. it's part of an american experiment they have to be apart of as well. keep your e-mails coming friends @foxnews.com. well the media is overwhelmed by the back and forth over president trump's potential

abby: we are back with a fox news alert a new report from the washington post says that the u.s. delegation has now entered north korea to prepare for that possible summit, meanwhile, some in the media seem too giddy a few days ago when the president called the meeting off, watch. >> what's korean for whiplash? from little rocket man to future peace partner to we'll see what happens, its been all the way. >> the ultimate culture clash in an attempt at diplomacy.

>> there goes to the nobel peace prize. there you go. there it goes. abby: all right well here to debate whether that summit happens or not has the media coverage been fair we've got trump 2020 campaign re-election senior advisor katrina pierson and democratic strategist christy setser. i want to get right to it. shouldn't everyone be pushing for success here? shouldn't everyone want peace? this is not about republican or democrat or president trump. this is about peace on the world stage. that's what we should all be fighting for. >> well you're right abbey it should be and i'm very cautious ly optimistic that the meeting is going to take place and that it may actually be successful, but i don't expect the media to take that common sense approach with anything regarding the trump adminitration. there's obviously a bias and they don't even try to hide it any more, but how could they, abbey? they've just spent the last nearly a decade pushing propaganda for failed obama/

clinton/kerry policy so in order to report fairly on anything that the president does would be to have them essentially eat crow and they're not willing to do that so instead they've l just continue gaslighting the public. abby: christy your reaction here >> i would say its been a pillar of both donald trump's campaign and now his administration to get his supporters to hate on the press. why? because as he recently told leslie, because then when you guys write mean stuff about me or print negative stories they're not going to believe you look this is always something he's tried to do. he's tried to play with the truth and lie to the press, back from his days when he was calling up the new york tabloids as "john barron" and telling him this guy donald trump is really wealthy and really has quite a sex life, so look i think the media are right to be feeling like they don't want to be played here. they don't want to be seen as pawns in trump's game of this little reality show of will he won't he actually get together

with kim jong-un, and i feel that, you know, they should feel that way. they pes rehere to do a job it's a serious job and they just want to be told the truth. abby: katrina quickly? >> well the bottom line it's just gaslighting because it's not really their job to be taken or not taken it's their job to report to the public. >> no it's not. we have a historic moment in the united states history where a president could negotiate peace treaty on the north korea and south korea peninsula this is a historic opportunity but the media is focusing all of the negatives and potential -- >> by the way ladies. abby: this summit has not even taken place yet so we'll see where this goes. >> and may not. abby: the president is hopeful it will. all of america should want that. katrina, christy thank you ladies for being with us i'm sorry we have to cut this short we'll be back right after this.
