truly an honor to be on this couch on a day like today when over the next four hours we will honor those who like you said literally gave all so that we could enjoy the things we are going to do today like barbecue and hang out with our families. they don't get that opportunity anymore because they gave their lives. abby: so true. we will ask you all morning to send in your photos of members of your family, those that have you lost that did pay that ultimate sacrifice. send it to us at friends@foxnews.com. #proud american. we have this coming in from mary. remembering her brother chris, who is pictured with his two friends james and rick all three killed within six months of each other vietnam war. todd: beth sends this one of army specialist daniel agamy he was killed in iraq at 25 years old. griff: captain bow pre and corporal brian kennedy, four marine heroes among the first casualties of the iraq

war in 2003. we remember them and all the servicemen and women who have lost their lives fighting for this country. those four individuals are important to me because i was embedded with oliver north with hmn 268 red dragons out of fort pendleton they were maybe not the very first but on the very first day march 21st they gave their lives. really an amazing thing to witness them paying that ultimate sacrifice and the war that would continue for many, many years. abby: absolutely. todd: we would like to you send your picture fuss can throughout the course of the morning so we can honor your family members who also paid the ultimate price friends@foxnews.com. griff: important we talked to ryan manning yesterday. you know what i want people to do as they remember my brother i want them to wake up and celebrate. challenge the living and honor the dead. abby: i love that we should still live today and celebrate all we do have and the freedoms we do have in

this country. keep sending them to friends@foxnews.com. as always, a lot of news to get. to say big news out of yesterday, maybe the most positive sign that things are moving forward on the summit june 12th in singapore between kim jong un and president trump, he says our united states team has arrived in north korea to make arrangements for the summit between kim jong un and myself. i truly believe that north korea has brill cents potential and great economic and financial nation one day. kim jong un agrees with me on this. it will happen. you already have members of the white house in north korea. this is how diplomacy works. griff, you know this. oftentimes all of this happens behind the scenes before they ultimately sit across the table from each other and shake their hands. griff: significant development being that the south korean president moon jae-in saying the north koreans are committed to denuclearization. what that team in north korea, the u.s. team is doing see s. seeing what does denuclearization look like it can be different

from north korean perspective to ours. gordon change expert who has been on with us, here is what he had to say about show down. >> president trump issued the letter saying he wasn't going to singapore on june 12th because of the string of the unusually belligerent statements from north korea. well, within hours of that. north korea issues a conciliatory statements one saying accept the trump formula. north koreans basically understood that they had gone too far and they wanted the summit. of course, they need the summit. the president did stare at the north koreans did blink. todd: that's a great point. abby: ultimately president trump pulled out of this deal a few days ago because it wasn't a deal he wanted to agree with. todd: we are america. big day for boasting about america. we have all the power in this situation. north korea is a country that is economically

impoverished. the sanctions are really, really starting to hurt these individuals. kim jong un recognizes he needs to do something. we have the powe power in this situation that bellicose letter they said we are calling off -- you are doing bad things vice president pence you are a political moron. it didn't work. obviously we know what we are doing. trump sent the letter and here we are. abby: reminder for the administration have you got to be on the same page. this that is how we are communicating through the media. they're listening to what vice president pence and john bolton. everyone has to be on that same page in the white house that's what is going to lead to potential success. that's what everyone is wanting. griff: certainly the largest, most significant meeting between a north korean leader and u.s. president and president trump has proven his chess moves on this have continued to move the ball forward. continued to bring the north koreans despite what critics say to the table and the

real question, i don't think there is any doubt you are going to get to the table june 129, shortly thereafter it's whether or not we are going to come home with something in terms of denuclearization that we want. by the way, i wonder you are say the north koreans watching. i wonder if they are watching the president talk about things here. abby: there is a lot going on. griff: talking about president obama. abby: he was. doubling down on the fbi and the handling of this russian investigation. he continues to go back to former president barack obama and those years during the campaign even when they knew that russia was trying to meddle in the election. he sent out this tweet directed at president obama. he says why didn't he do something about the so-called russian meddling when he was told about it by the fbi before the election? because he thought crooked hillary was going to win and he didn't want to upset the applecart. he was in charge, not me. and he did nothing. so that is a big question, todd, is what did he know and when did he know it. todd: also that comment from jim clapper earlier this

week. this is actually a benefit to the trump campaign. why didn't the clinton campaign. i'm going to back the clinton campaign for a moment. why didn't they get the same help and benefit that the trump campaign did? rudy giuliani weighed in on this himself. talking about the hypocrisy and what's going on as we sit here today on memorial day. take a listen. >> reality is the personal people have come to the conclusion everybody else has this investigation is rigged. it's unfair and if they have to choose on impeachment or not, president who is going to be making peace with north korea, god-willing, and we should all be rooting for that we are not going to sit him down if this is a trap for perjury. until we are convinced of that and if they don't show us these documents, we are just going to have to say no. it could happen, he wants to do it. so far since i have been in this, all i see are obstacles that they are putting in the way.

abby: rudy giuliani sat down with bill hemmer on "fox news sunday" and brought up spy gate. this is what the us what is calling it because of spy gate, the russia probe he now says is illegitimate and should not be taken seriously. the president wants to sit down with robert mueller. he wants to have this interview. but they want more questions about who they call the spy. why was the spy there? what were they doing? they need more information before they can move forward. griff: refusings gave rudy giuliani new attorney brought on to clearly go on the offensive to be aggressive. we will dig more into this later in the show and talk with some folks about exactly where this is headed. todd: also, you have to prep your witnesses and giuliani recognizes he needs information like abby said. abby: he would be a tough person to prep. that's a tough job. to have haded to with that let's go over to jillian mele who wears the white in our red, white, and blue. jillian: someone had to. we are a giant american flag. abby: yes we are and proud to be that. jillian: let's begin with a fox news alert.

the clinton dossier misuse fisa courts. she would have signed off on the spy gate spy. she would have signed off on the use of national security letters to take up the trump campaign's phone records. she would have signed off on all of this investigating that was really targeting of president trump. because of the activities of people like sally yates that sat up the mueller investigation, including the flynn ambush interview that led to his plea deal raise you had questions about the mueller investigation itself. quickly, the president of the united states has an obligation when he learns of information that the justice department and fbi may have abused the law to raise issues and say you need to investigate this i want to get back to sally yates and investigating her what she is saying that the rule of law is that the president was directing the doj, specifically to her

criticism. have you seen anything that president trump has been directing doj officials yates or otherwise. >> he has asked the cia to investigate the allegations behind spy gate. frankly, he could be doing a whole lot more under the constitution to bring the justice department back under control. barack obama said that hillary clinton shouldn't be pruitted in the middle of the clinton email investigation did. sally yates complain about that? i don't think so. had you hillary clinton's investigation email investigation thoroughly politicized because of what barack obama did but she had no problem with that of course, barack obama was briefed on the anti-trump investigation repeatedly. she had no problem with tha that. griff: quickly because we are almost out of time. investigation into the clinton email scandal. do you believe sally yates should be subpoenaed, should appear and answer questions? >> sally yates would be a top witness in abuses at the justice department targeting

gentlemen, thank you for being here on this memorial day. degrading what it means to be an american. what trump policies are doing that? >> first of all i want to say happy memorial day to my vietnam war veteran stepdad and all the other americans out there great day to be an american. thank you for your service. when you sit in the white house and have you been accused of paying off prostitutes and when you before president have you gone overseas yourself to say that the sitting president is ignorant, you don't have the right to complain when the stormer first daughter says the same thing but. todd: policy. >> sure. let's start with trade. the thing that the president has done so far to hurt american farmers. the thing the president has done so far to hurt american business, that's pretty embarrassing. the second thing the president has done is basically used what courts, federal courts in the united states have said are race based policies. todd: all right. i want to get respond to that, david, is he embarrassment to most of us

who consider ourselves good americans. >> gus, we have trade, we have race, how do you respond? >> i think those are -- i think those claims are bologna in my opinion. first of all, the american economy is booming once again under president trump. you are seeing constant busting earnings in the last, you know, year or two years of the trump presidency. and now you are seeing him dealing with north korea how he basically has them at the negotiating table. we are talking about north korea here. we have four past presidents, including bill clinton himself who have failed to come and bring north korea to the table and negotiate and stop building nuclear weapons. here they are gushing over a trip that might include president trump over a meeting between the two leaders and look how that's going? so i don't think that's even true that what chelsea clinton seems to be saying. this is another example of

just the great disconnect between the clinton family and middle america. middle america is booming. jobs are coming back to this country. first of all, they are making more money and now are able to even get more money from the tax reform bill. >> this one says not only do i want an administration that isn't venal, corrupt and focused on making life harder for millions of americans. i also want a competent administration. we have about 60 seconds remaining. split it between the two of you, david, take it on. >> i agree with chelsea. this guy is getting in more trouble. every medicine sideline another scandal. iit isn't russia or paying off prostitutes. i remember watching gus on convention you said i support another candidate now i guess we have to rally behind donald trump for the economy and other things. you seem to put the economy in front of everyone else. i'm not convinced employment

numbers are where they should be. people are concerned about their every day lives and paychecks and worried. todd: 30 seconds up. i promised gus the final 30. take it away. >> again, i point point out to my friend unemployment levels lisk low, one. earnings are up again and the president is doing what is right to solve very important issues that country is facing today. and, again, business is booming and i think that. >> doesn't he embarrass you ever. >> no, not at all. >> not at all. >> i'm a trump supporter and i'm thankful for all the work and reforms he has introduced we need more of it. todd: appreciate robust debate on memorial day monday. >> thank you. todd: dozens of former obama officials are running for office. their platform i will give you four guesses they all line with resist. will they work though. our guy dan bongino. meet the guards at the tomb of the unknown soldiers.

majority in congress that is willing to do this president's will and as long as we have a deeply unethical president, there is only one remedy, and that is to change the congress and to let the investigation go on. and that's what we need to try to fight to do. abby: so you have nunes, gowdy the list goes on. serious questions to the fbi about how things have been handled. he says they are just a bunch of bumps, dan. >> so he is -- i'm trying to grasp the logic trainee is using here. is he saying that you should throw the bums out because they are dishonest, but this guy is the champion of dishonesty. he is one of the bums. i don't know what he is talking about. do you understand he has lied to the american people for over a year now about the existence of evidence in the russian collusion investigation of collusion that doesn't exist? he cannot admit and cannot give up the fact that none of this -- none of this happened. now the dance is about the euphemisms and the spy vs. an informant. i'm telling you this is all nonsense. the democrats cannot give

this up. this is all they have. they have defined themselves by russian collusion that did not exist. griff: dan, they may be finding themselves with the tough questions the president tweeting yesterday saying during all of this, where was president obama? what do you say? >> yeah. you know, i've been itching to get this out there. let me explain to you from an insider's perspective, from someone who has worked inside law enforcement. i have had interactions with intelligence often. and these types of things. the reason they are dancing around this spy vs. informant narrative is precisely because of what you just asked, griff. the role of obama. let me explain this to you quickly. spy would mean it was someone from the outside inserted or designed to interact with the campaign to get information. meaning someone told them to do it. an informant would have been someone inside the operation that saw something negative and wanted to come out and speak about it that's why they are not using the word spy. precisely because it

implicates obama that put him from the outside into the trump campaign. abby: so glad you clarified that you are obviously former secret service. put inside the trump campaign. we didn't know this was going on to your point the reason they are calling it a spy. todd: dozen of obama officials are running for office. obviously not run for the president in 2018 because we have to wait for 2020. 64 former staffs are running for office across the nation. obviously lesser races. what do you make of this? do you think they have a chance? >> maybe. there is so much anti-trump nonsense going on, they may have a chance. but what are they running on? i don't understand. this there is some kind of a mass movement to go back to the obama era? let's get back to 1% g.d.p. growth? let's go back to thousand dollar a month premium hikes on obamacare? even better, let's get back to using, weaponizing the irs to target conservatives? hey, i got one for you,

let's go back to the days where we spy on our political opposition and use euphemisms like undocumented fbi employees to spy on people. i don't see any mass movement to go back to the dreadful obama days. this is not they may win on anti-trump stuff but they won't win on record. todd: not voting for any of these individuals. >> you must be car knack on the johnny carson show. abby: good to see you this morning. a lot going on we want to go over to jillian for. other headlines we are following. jillian: good morning to you guys and to you at home as he will with take to you this video that you have see. really wild video. a man pulled over for reckless driving crashing into a police car and speeding off in reverse all of questioned by cops. the man spinning in circles slamming into several cars. this was in new york city. his front bumper coming off. he was arrested after hitting another car and

there are three deciding entities that decide where the ultimate location will be. national park service acting on behalf the department of interior. the national capital planning commission and the commission of fine arts. right now we actually have a logjam because we have two of the deciding bodies that agree with us on our preferred site. and the commission of fine arts does not agree with us. griff: where is the site? if you could get approval, where would you put this right now? >> yes, sir, our preferred site is at 23rd and constitution. it's actually very close to the lincoln memorial. just down the way from vietnam. dessert storm is just absolutely forever linked to vietnam. all our leaders were vietnam veterans. i will argue that the reason why dessert storm was just a rapid resounding success is because the leadership were vietnam veterans and they weren't going to let what happened the first time around happen to us 23ened

and constitution is our preferred site. abby: is there a way people can help? what can they do? >> well, that's a great question. you know, i guess they can always let their opinions be known to the various commissions, you know, the national capital planning commission. you know, commission of fine arts. we, again, we respect the process. we have conducted ourselves as gentlemen from the beginning to the end and we'll continue to do so. it is kind of frustrating because we have some strong opinions which have been validated by two of the three deciding agencies or commissions. in terms of where this memorial needs to be located. and we're not disparaging the other location. it just so happens that that location is very visible. it's just not as accessible. we feel it's important when somebody is visiting our nation's capital that they're able to walk and learn that story of our --

of the history of this country in a pedestrian-friendly way. >> i'm confused why the commission on fine arts is doing. this do you have any reason, any understanding why. >> that's a really great question. i really don't. we have heard some objections in the past such as well, there are already too many war memorials on that end of the mall just to be clear this is not the reserve portion of the mall. it's neck hickly the malibu not on the mall. we have heard some of those types of okays. again, if there were valid objections, maybe there is infrastructure turley problem that would cost tens of millions of dollars more or extend the time line we absolutely would move on but there hasn't been any legitimate reason posed. griff: thank you for your service. we have the website up on the bottom of the screen. thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you for having me. griff: coming up, congressman diane black,

american dental association for its effectiveness and safety. my mouth feels so clean. i'll only use an oral-b. oral-b. brush like a pro. but as it grew bigger and bigger,ness. it took a whole lot more. that's why i switched to the spark cash card from capital one. with it, i earn unlimited 2% cash back on everything i buy. everything. and that 2% cash back adds up to thousands of dollars each year... so i can keep growing my business in big leaps! what's in your wallet? a trip back to the dthe doctor's office, mean just for a shot. but why go back there, when you can stay home with neulasta onpro? strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection. neulasta helps reduce infection risk by boosting your white blood cell count, which strengthens your immune system. in a key study, neulasta reduced the risk of infection from 17% to 1%,

a 94% decrease. applied the day of chemo, neulasta onpro is designed to deliver neulasta the next day. neulasta is for certain cancer patients receiving strong chemotherapy. do not take neulasta if you're allergic to neulasta or neupogen (filgrastim). ruptured spleen, sometimes fatal as well as serious lung problems, allergic reactions, kidney injuries, and capillary leak syndrome have occurred. report abdominal or shoulder tip pain, trouble breathing or allergic reactions to your doctor right away. in patients with sickle cell disorders, serious, sometimes fatal crises can occur. the most common side effect is bone and muscle ache. so why go back there? if you'd rather be home, ask your doctor about neulasta onpro.

>> good monday morning, you are listening to the united states marine drum and bugle corps, battle hymn of the republic. no better way to honor memorial day, because that is what it is ultimately about. all those brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom for this great country. >> that is right. as you wake up, we hope you enjoy this memorial day and remember that it was the ultimate sacrifice that so many who answered the call to fight for our freedom that gave us these barbecues, these friends, these families and the ability to enjoy a day like today. >> it's an honor to be on the couch today with grif, abby, myself. also we're going to have a little fun -- abby: a little barbecue later. >> today, obviously, has a message, and it is thank you to

those who defended our freedom. abby: we have asked you to send in your photos, and they keep pouring in. this one comes in from carol. her uncle henry who died in world war ii while serving onboard the uss harder. >> here's one from gloria remembering her brother, private first class ramos who was killed in vietnam. >> and john ryan howard served in the marines and was killed in a helicopter crash in iraq nearly 14 years ago. we remember him and all the servicemen and women who host their lives -- who lost their lives fighting for our freedom. put that a hashtag proud american on there. this is what today's about. abby: and i think that's what our men and women who serve want us to do, they want us to live a good life, have those barbecues, be in a swimming pool and be with the people we love the most. >> and there's going to be

several events taking place at arlington national cemetery. if you ever get a chance, go there. and particularly, there is one section -- section 60 -- dedicatedded to all those who have fought in the global war on terror since 2001. abby: well, there's a lot of news to get to and breaking news coming out of north korea. the high stakes about the summit could be back on track. >> a u.s. delegation on the ground meeting at the dmz trying to salvage the sit-down between president trump and dictator kim jong un. >> garrett tenney live in washington, d.c. with the very latest. this story keeps changing every 24 hours. >> reporter: it certainly does. we saw both sides making an effort this weekend to ease tensions and move back towards holding this summit. and on saturday south korea's president even met with kim jong un to discuss the on again-off again summit, and he seemed to make some progress saying afterwards chairman kim made clear his intent for complete denuclearization of the korean

peninsula, and he expressed his will to cooperate for mutual peace and prosperity. well, the next morning just a few days after can eling -- canceling the summit, president trump struck a very different tone tweeting: our united states team has arrived in north korea to make arrangements for the summit. i truly believe north korea has brilliant potential and will be a great economic and financial nation one day. kim jong un agrees with me on this, it will happen. there is still one major issue the two sides have not agreed on, and that is what the denuclearization of north korea looks like, what will that entail both sides doing. in ironing out that understanding, it's a big part of what the u.s. delegation in north korea is working on this trip. back to y'all. abby: thank you, garrett. >> thanks, gait. >> reporter: my pleasure. abby: the president continues to double down, pushing back on the fbi, on the russia probe but also asking serious questions to

barack obama, former pram massachusetts here's what he tweeted yesterday: why didn't president obama do something about the so-called russian meddling when he was told about it by the fbi before the election? because he thought crooked hillary was going to win s and he didn't want to upset the apple cart. he was in charge, not me, and did nothing. >> and we asked dan bongino to weigh in on that, especially the word "spy" that the liberal media seems to not like to use and to get mad when other people use said word. here's what dan had to say a few moments ago. >> the reason they're dancing around this spy versus informant narrative, the role of obama. let me explain this to you quickly. spy would mean it was someone from the outside inserted or designed to interact with a campaign to get information, meaning someone told them to do it. an informant would have been someone inside the operation that saw something negative and wanted to come out and speak about it. that's why they're not using the word spy, precisely because it

implicates obama who put them from the outside into the trump campaign. >> so a lot more on that. and, of course, it is memorial day, this is the best thing you're going to see on this memorial day. nobody does it better. navy seal, retired u.s. navy seal who has a podcast, he has a silver star, a bronze star for his heroic actions in the iraq war. here he is reminding us all what today is about. >> i, the soldier, sailor, airman or marine, i've stood my ground and sacrificed my life, my future, my hopes, my dreams. i sacrificed everything. for you. this memorial day remember me. the fallen warrior.

from. it came from sacrifice, the supreme sacrifice. don't waste it. don't waste any of your time on this earth. live a life that honors the sacrifice of our fallen heroes. remember them always and make every day memorial day. >> make every day memorial day. boy, i'll tell ya, from a guy that's been in the blood, sweat and tears, that is exactly -- nobody's going to say it better today. and you can watch the entire podcast. it's about 10 or 12 minutes at jocko podcast.com. abby: that might be one of the most powerful things i've ever heard. you know, i come from a military family, my brothers are in the

navy, and that's why they do what they do. thank you to him for sending that message, and i hope everyone listens to that today. >> abby, they're proud to do it. >> a little later the four men that died in the iraq war that i was embedded with, wrote hem a letter, this is what i wanted to do. this is the meaning of service. >> this is why on our show, specifically on "fox & friends," we get so emotional, so fired up with what we do here on a day in and day out basis because so many other aspects of our society don't honor those who did what those people did. and we try to do a little bit every, each and every day to try to make that happen. >> but news continues. >> yes. >> gillian has joined us. abby: gillian are, on that note -- >> whoo, i was standing over here watching. abby: you should go online and watch the whole thing if you have time. >> let's get you caught up on some news, a desperate search

donations. here with more, former chair of the house budget committee, congresswoman diane black. it's an interesting idea. lay it out for our viewers, what would this mean, what would this entailsome. >> setting up a dedicated fund where people who truly believe what the president believes, that we should secure our borders, would have an opportunity to be part of that in crowd funding. and because the democrats will not go with the republicans in funding the wall, we thought this was a good idea to give the american people to have a chance to have a voice in it, and you just would not believe the kind of response we've had not just in my district, but across the country. >> congresswoman, it's a very interesting idea, but has anything like this ever been done before? >> well, actually, there has been crowd funding for something in our country that we all love, and that's the washington monument. many years ago when the monument was just half completed the american people rose up, and state by state, there were donations to help to fund it.

and if you go to the washington monument, you'll see those plaques along the wall that show that the american people wanted that project to be completed. abby: wow. >> and i think we ought to do the same kind of thing when either groups come together or states come together and say we want to be a part of this because we think it's important that they will have a plaque on the wall. abby: no idea about the washington monument. that is so interesting. so where does this sit now? obviously, this is an idea of yours, you've proposed it. what needs to happen so that if people want to put money towards that, they can go online and actually do it? >> right now they can go online, they can send a check, however, the problem is that it are just go into the general fund, and there's nothing to say that their dollars would be used. this sets up a dedicated fund, and we just need to get a requisite number of sponsors, and then we'll be able to bring it up in committee and pass it in the house and then take it over to the senate. so it is a process, and we are going through the process. but it has been unbelievable to me how much response we've had

from across the country. not just my own state, but across the country. abby: have you talked to the white house about this? >> the president does know about it. i hope the president's watching this morning and that he will give a shout-out at different events that he does. as a matter of fact, he's going to be here in nashville tomorrow, and i hope he'll give a shout-out to the people here in tennessee that want to fund the wall that he believes is necessary and the american people believe is necessary. >> thanks for coming on. i'm not sure americans are going to jump on it right away because they may be waiting to see if mexico pays, but it's fascinating that the washington monument also got funds that way. >> well, thank you for having me here today. >> thank you, congresswoman. abby: you learn something new every day. >> yeah, you do k. up next, can franklin graham turn california red? he's got a plan. abby: but first, chelsea clinton takes her trump-hating overseas, clamming him for demeaning what it means to be americans.

democrats. but that's just not the world we're in today. the president is up into the low to mid 40s: this generic ballot has closed to a four-point lead for the democrats, so i think we've gone from democrats being heavy favorites to take the house to something of a dead heat and maybe a thumb on the scale for the republicans. griff: sean, in these house seats 12 democrats are running in districts where president trump won. how much of a problem is that for them? >> i think there is a potential for real difficulty there, especially since democrats are vacating to those -- two of those seats up in minnesota. again, if we're talking about a close are race for congress, those two seats and a couple others could make the difference. griff: i don't know if you saw yesterday a headline on "the new york times" saying that even california democrats are feeling the heat out there. they're worried about the prospects of republicans actually having amazing results there. what do you make of that? >> no, i think it's a real

concern for the democrats. they have this top two primary system where everyone runs in the same race, and the top two make it to the election. there's a lot of democrats running, they could divide the democratic vote, and you could end up with two republicans in the general election shutting the democrats out, which is sort of a nightmare scenario for democrats. griff: thank you for joining us, sean trende, it is going to be fascinating to watch, this comeback by the republicans. thanks for joining us. >> thank you. griff: all right. will the summit with north korea actually happen? the big hint the president just dropped. and if you're firing up the grill this memorial day, some american classics with a twist courtesy of celebrity chef george duh ranch yum. george duran. ♪ they'll only pay

best course of action for the president to take with regard to north korea? >> i think president trump is absolutely right in his current course of action. he had tough preconditions before sitting down with kim jong-un in that sanctions will stay in place. military exercises will continue and we're talking full, verifiable, denuclearization as the goal here and he has stuck to his guns and we've seen north korea now come back to the table. todd: i feel like so much of the mainstream media is focused on the narrative, kim jong-un is crazy. you don't know how to deal with him because you can't deal with a crazy person. what so many people neglect is the sanctions element. this individual promised his people he would have better lives going forward. the u.s. sanctions are doing the exact opposite of that. he needs to respond to the sanctions. only thing he can give us in return is complete denuclearization. >> well, president trump has to make both kim jong-un and

president xi of china fully believe that if they achieve this program, right now they believe that if they achieve an icbm that it will mean the protection of his regime and president trump is making them understand, no, if you achieve this program, it will mean the destruction of your regime. the chinese don't want that, and certainly the north koreans don't want that. if you buy into the critics that he is a rational actor, he is going to preserve his regime by denuclearizing. the only way to do that, make them realize that is by credible use of military force and choking off the north korean economy and that is what president trump was doing. i was in the bush white house working for vice president cheney during the six-party talks watch us make the mistake of making concession after concession and concession. we all know that the north koreans were buying time and they were cheating. that is what we have to prevent them from doing this time. todd: day like today the image of military force leading to

freedom is so pronounced. we'll show images right now of memorial day remembrance across the nation and while we're showing these right now obviously the tomb of the unknown there in arlington, virginia, what message would you like to send to americans on this memorial day? >> the bottom line freedom isn't free. it comes at a tremendous cost. we were just talking about north korea. there is 30,000 servicemen and women sitting in the korean peninsula. there is over 180,000 around the world. that is larger than the british, canadian and australian armies combined. the united states is leading. but it does come at a cost. in fact, there are special operators in 60 countries as we speak this morning as we wake up, as we wake up today free men and women in america. i would remind every one there are gold star families all over the united states waking up this morning without their husbands, without their fathers, you know without their brothers and

sisters that have truly given the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. and that is worth remembering every day. i think about the soldiers that i have lost every single day. it inspires me to be a better person and live a life worthy of their sacrifice. i hope that is what every american is thinking about this morning. todd: beautiful words, sir, thank you for your service as well on this memorial day. lieutenant colonel michael walz thank you very much. >> good bless you. todd: god bless you as well. could the blue wave be crashing? democrats get nervous. they should be. numbers are coming up. we announce the 2018 veteran entrepreneur winner. you remember this from friday? we've got a winner. ♪ ♪

about it. that's why they aren't using the word spy precisely because it imply indicates obama who put him from the outside into the trump campaign. >> keep your eyes on a house joint investigation interviewing witnesses including possibly sally yates and f.b.i. officials. more on this story coming later this week. >> the white house is wanting a lot more about spygate. we'll see where this goes. what's that what the white house is calling it. >> media is passing the wod spy. william -db chelsea clinton is speaking outover seas. if i lived in britain i would show up to protest because i

we now find out that the obama administration put the opposing campaign's presidential candidate or his campaign under investigation. that raises legitimate questions. if this was the bush administration investigating the obama campaign, i would think there would be a lot of democrats saying we want to know. and so i just find it is really odd the idea that we shouldn't get the answer as we're going to get from the inspector general. now, at the end of the day, we aren't going to come together as a country as long as both sides are trying to shut down investigations. i think the public is growing a little tired with partisans filtering all of these issues. i think what the public wants is a full record that they can reach conclusions from. and for those people that voted for trump and even those people who did not, to suggest that a campaign like this was under investigation of both surveillance and possible informants or spies goes to the

heart of our electoral system. >> you say the president went about this the wrong way but he is right. but is yates going over the line in her criticism of it's overstepping the rule of law. >> it's an ironic statement. she is part of the concerns that people have raised about a bias in the justice department. she told an entire department to stand down and not to defend the president's first immigration order. at the time i said that she was fired for good cause. i still believe that. i find her actions to be really quite unbelievable. courts have divided on this issue. we'll get a ruling soon from the supreme court but you don't tell an entire department to stand now and not support a president of the united states. that type of action really fuels this deep state narrative that people have said. i don't know what the truth is about this investigation but i definitely want to see what the truth is. >> that's right. sally yates was fired for not

enforcing the president's travel ban so our viewers are clear what happened. do you believe sally yates should be made to appear possibly subpoenaed by some of these house judiciary and oversight committees investigating this? >> i've always been an advocate for complete transparency. we should get everyone involved in, get them on the record and get that record to the public. at some point we are going to have to come back together as a country. this division is getting deeper and it is because politicians on both sides are playing games with these investigations. >> a very important point. jonathan turley, professor at george washington university. thank you for joining us this memorial day. >> catastrophic flooding in maryland. at this hour a man is missing. we're live on the ground next. a pair of emotional reunions you have to see. a navy mom surprising both her daughters. they join us next.
