♪ [national anthem] ♪ [national anthem] steve: good morning. we start with a fox news alert. a somber ceremony in south korea for the repatriation of 55 american service members killed during the korean war. [taps] ♪ ainsley: those remains right there handed over to the united states by north korea. they are now on american planes. they are about to head from south korea to hawaii for

forensic testing before finally going home to their families. steve: yeah. so, here's what we know. later on, vice president mike pence, the son of korean war combat veteran, will be there at hickam air force base for ceremony in hawaii. we are saying that there are 55 sets of remains. we are not exactly sure if that is a correct number because in the past, when they have gone through the remains, they have found things that were not necessarily human bones and whatnot. nonetheless, it will take a very, very long time it could take years using d.n.a. to try to figure out who is in those boxes. brian: what they have got to do is ask the families of those who know that they have relatives who are missing to provide d.n.a. to help track this down using modern day forensics. but the thing is, north koreans have said in the past other administrations

they have 200 sets of remains. that's a small portion of the roughly 7,700 u.s. service members missing in action during this brutal korean war from 1950 to 1953. you wonder in the '55 there is only one set of dog tags. some have estimated so many different countries fought in this war. some think it could be a french. australians had a major presence. you don't know unless they allow us to go what we know some much these military sites were and some of these battles took place, you don't know what they gave us. ainsley: several thoughts came to mind when i was watching the ceremony. it happened our time 4:00 a.m. i thought how wonderful that the south koreans are celebrating our veterans our heroes or at least honoring them. 70 years later and our forensic teams are able to piece this back together and figure out who these marines belong to. >> surely this has been a

process. in the 1990s, north korea returned 208 caskets. much like you see there. of the 208, however, they contained more than 208 individuals. ultimately, after all sorts of kinds of testing, they were able to identify 181 american soldiers. in between 1996 and 2005, north korea returned 229 caskets. of those, it took a very long time, but of the 229, 153 were identified. but the technology has changed. it's all about trying to figure out who in the united states is still alive and if they can get a d.n.a. sample to try to track whose bones those are. brian: remember, this is a generation just after world war ii. we thought we were in a peace time we would have a string of that. then all of a sudden north the south troops over in japan. quickly scramble.

in a peace time war effort. then we have to bulk up and try to save the peninsula. world respond. in come the chinese. they have their prisoner camps were americans were held. they lost over 400,000 people. the russians had a will presence. 72,000 helping but not officially in the war. this was truly the first battle of the cold war. ainsley: this was something that was extremely important to the president. pete hegseth is actually traveling with the vice president to hawaii. we will go to him live. he will have reports also tomorrow morning because it is very important, obviously, to cover this. but the vice president is going to meet these remains in hawaii and then our president was down in florida because another big issue is making sure republicans go out and vote during the midterm elections. he was there to stump for several of the republicans running for the governor's race or for congressional positions down in the state of florida. he walls at the fairgrounds in tampa. if you missed the rally,

here's a little bit of it from last night. >> u.s. economy grew at 4.1% last quarter. we're in the longest positive job growth streak in history. democrats want to raise your taxes. they want to destroy your jobs. democrats want open borders, which equals massive crime. [crowd boos] >> we want maximum border security and respect for our heroes. ice, border patrol, and law enforcement. [cheers] >> we're going to have tremendous border security that will include the wall. look at judge kavanaugh. so farther democrats vice president given us any votes and that's because they will do anything they can to not help the trump agenda. under previous administrations we never won. we got used to never winning. the economy is too good. the jobs are too strong.

we're doing too well. i will leave now because i am boring you to death. thank you. [laughter] brian: two of the people he wanted to rick desantis and governor scott. governor scott next senator give legitimate spot to you will nelson permanent spot there ron desantis when he decides to run he was trailing by 22 points. all of a sudden the president gets behind him and now he suspect by double figures just the primary. steve: usually a party leader doesn't get involved in a primary. of the president has assigned limbself with ron desantis versus adam putnam who was a very popular agriculture commissioner down in the great state of florida. by the way, yesterday was mr. putnam's birthday it wasn't very good he knew while he was campaigning at the villages, the president of the united states flew in

on air force one to campaign for his opponent. the reason the president showed up in tampa yesterday, was because mail ballots have stearated to arrive, tens of thousands of homes all across florida. they have a very active early voting program. and the president wanted to make sure every republican knew he was aligned with mr. desantis. >> he has helped some candidates. some in georgia. we saw what happened in south carolina. in alabama. he saw -- yesterday he said we need to elect more republicans to restore american strength and keep up the momentum. he also said when people come into the oval office, even if they didn't vote for him or didn't like him. he said i hear the same thing over and over and over. it's thank you, mr. president, for what you have done for this economy. brian: a couple of things. everyone keeps reporting that general kelly is out. he used to have such control over the white house. he will doesn't have any control. he is so unhappy. when we have reached out in the past he says it is just not true. i'm not unhappy. things are going great. and then you hear that on

july 31st it's going to be one year since he took the job and then after july 31st not only is he going to keep the job but has been offered 2020. he accepted yesterday all those rumors not true. steve: #fake news? brian: not true news. i know that. steve: meanwhile, this was true. yesterday, the judiciary subcommittee on border security and immigration had a hearing. democrats called because they wanted to know more about family separation. john cornyn great senator from the state of texas he was asked one of the experts who will suffer most if democrats abolish ice because there have been a number of democrats who have called for just that and surprisingly, the authority from ice said minority communities will be victimized the most because the people who are not removed are involved in gangs activity and criminal activity and generally commit crimes against people in the communities where they live. ainsley: there was one democratic senator maizy

hirono was confused about the imcongratulations laws. she started asking this ice official mr. matthew albence. she appeared to be losing her patience, he lost his patience because she didn't understand the law. she was -- just watch this. >> would you send your child to frcs? >> again, i think what we're missing the point. these individuals are there because they have broken a law. >> there has to be a process. >> this have broken a law only as deemed so by the president with his -- >> -- no, ma'am. they are there for vital of title 8 of the u.s. nationality act. they are in those frcs pending the outcome of that civil imcongratulations process. they have broken the law. they were criminal proceedings when the border patrol prosecuted them. but, at the conclusion of that process, once the individual came into ice custody, they would go through administrative proceedings. >> i'm confused. steve: apparently the senator from hawaii didn't understand that the parents were separated from the children because the parents had broken the law. it's just a fact.

and she thought it was because of the president's zero tolerance policy. in fact, it a u.s. statute. brian: know two thirds came in without parents and separated and that's been the focus since. ainsley: she said they have broken the law based on what the president has said, deemed by the president. he said no, it's actually not zero tolerance, it's not the president that made these laws. they are violating title 86 the u.s. nationality act. brian: i just want to tell you while you were talking jillian was waving to the fans outside. [laughter] jillian: i'm going like this. they are out there right now. brian: very distracting. ainsley: out there and not listening to us. jillian: little kids out there with umbrellas. brian: chris, you have to keep her straight. jillian: i'm sorry. let me do my job now and focus and get you caught up on the news and you guys can wave to them. i won't be orvedded. one of the men accused of murdering border agent brian

♪ ainsley: new leads in the search for mollie tibbets the university of iowa student to vanished nearly two weeks ago after jogging to her boyfriend's house. steve: investigators now looking for, perhaps, a white man in his 20's who tried grabbing another

jogger this week. brian: fox news contributor former detective ted williams has been working the scene in iowa the best he can joins us now with the latest. the press conference didn't give us much information. what can you tell us? >> well, the press conference did not. but it did give us, guys, time line. we know that on july the 18th mollie at around 5:30 in the afternoon was dropped off at her boyfriend's house. from my investigation, i have been able to determine that mollie was supposedly living with her boyfriend and her boyfriend's brother and her boyfriend's brother's fiance. they have been investigated, from what i understand investigators and they have a pretty air tight alibi. but around 7:30 that night on july the 18th, mollie goes running. well, from what we know, this is where it begins to get murky because we don't

know if she ever got back to her home or there are relatives that say they saw her around 10:00 that night, heard from her. her boyfriend, as a matter of fact, said he heard from her on snapchat around 10:00 that night from a house. steve: that's right. ted, her boyfriend, dalton, pictured right there, i believe. he was 100 miles away working a construction job in debuck. she was back at the house. the early suggestion was maybe she got grabbed when she was out on the jog. now we know that apparently she may have been doing some homework maybe on the computer after the jog. and that's why it's so unclear what happened. >> well, you know, you just used the right proper term unclear. law enforcement out here have been very, very tight-lipped. they have conducted over 200 interviews. they have certainly talked to the boyfriend as well as

his brother and the relatives of mollie. but, everybody is still a suspect in this investigation, guys. it's like a needle in the haystack out here. they are trying to find out what happened to mollie. ainsley: all right. doll ton jack is a boyfriend and his brother is supposed to get married this weekend in the dominican republic. they were all planning heading to the wedding. we hope she is found. she is definitely in our prayers. thank you so much, ted, for following this story. >> my pleasure. brian: meanwhile, 10 minutes before the bottom of the hour. the remains of 55 fallen u.s. service men's in the korean war heading back to the united states. it was a powerful moment in south korea happened hours ago. retired ranger sean parnell joins us live on the significance next.

steve: all right. time now for quick headlines on this wednesday morning. a group in favor of california's state's succession has hatched a new plan, give the eastern half of the state to native americans autonomous native nation would create a buffer zone between what they call president trump's america and the new independent california republic. this is the latest attempt in a decade's long push that has resulted in very little progress. meanwhile canada's basic income experiment is getting scrapped. the 110-million-dollar pilot program which provided cash to 4,000 people is ending under ontario's new conservative government. it was mental to determine if giving money to people with lower incomes would impact their lives. officials say it did not and it was too expensive. so it's over.

brian? brian: now to a fox news alert. a somber ceremony hours ago in south korea for the reoperatation of 55 american service members killed in the korean war. 50, 60 years ago. vice president mike pence will mark their historic return to u.s. soil with a u.s. ceremony set to take place some time today in hawaii. here to weigh in on the selling cans of this is sean pattern nell a retired u.s. army ranger and author of the upcoming book manual of war and outlaw pla t platoon. what was your reactions in watching that ceremony this morning. >> pride. special thing to watch and behold. imagine losing a loved one in the korean war and praying every single day for their safe return and they never come home. you have to keep in mind that families of missing in action, the only thing they get to capture and remember the legacy of the service member that fought in these wars is a folded flag. so to see the remains of

these troops finally coming home it's a special thing to me to watch. but it's also a special thing as a country to behold. our country is a little bit better now having these troops on american soil. brian: you have basically 200 sets of u.s. war remains. they give us 55 back. that's an initial show of confidence for it. what do you think it's going to take to get the rest. and if they real lit wanted to show sincerity, wouldn't you agree, sean, they would let us walk north korea. because we know where those battles took place. we know where to find our men that fought. >> yeah. there is no doubt about it. i think the president needs to keep doing what he is doing and keeping maximum pressure on north korea to keep them honest. and ultimately we need to keep trying to get out there in the field to find these guys to bring them home. we have been doing it for 65 years. it's a hallmark of the u.s. military to never leave a

fallen comrade. central tenet of the ethose. i will never says defeat and never quit and never leave a fallen comrade. that's what we do in the military. more than that it's a sacred pac between this country and those who serve it we will not leave you hint behind. to me this ceremony shows these family members who lost loved ones that their sacrifice will not be forgotten. brian: good point. i also think it's going to be interesting to see the quest to find out who is there. and now they are calling on family members, survivors to go to the d.n.a. center to give their d.n.a. almost after 9/11 where people were trying to recover the remains of people trapped in those towers and pentagon they are going to do it. that's how family members can help out now. >> yeah, absolutely. i mean, no doubt about it. there needs to be a full-court press in this country both on the civilian side and on the warrior side. we have a whole entire commands out in hawaii

that's dedicated to the forensic analysis of this d.n.a. fight fog bring our servicemen and women home from every war we have ever fought in. anything we can do in this country to bring civilians a little bit closer to the men and women who defend women every day is a good thing and ultimately any time that we can bring our servicemen and women home off of foreign battle fields back to their final resting place here on the greatest country on earth is a good thing. brian: other thing i like we are talking about the korean war for the first time they think of mash. now talking about a war lost 33,000. the chinese fought and lost hundreds of thousands. the north koreans lost hundreds of thousands. this whole world back in that war peninsula seven, eight years after world war ii. no one talks about. this now at least it's in the forefront for a short time. those veterans who wonder if they are ever going to get any recognition maybe have a

chance to talk about their war experience because this was brutal. >> yeah. you are absolutely right. and to all of those korean war veterans who are still alive and kicking today. your sacrifice has not been forgotten. brian: absolutely. sean parnell thanks so much. >> thank you for having me. brian: here we are 30 minutes before the top of the hour. straight ahead. remember this official who sparked national outrage after taking a knee during the pledge of allegiance? she's back at it and the crowd not happy. >> i pledge allegiance.

last night they had another meeting. what happened? let's take you back to had damn connecticut. >> i pledge allegiance. [crowd boos. [. brian: they were booing. >> did you see the girl in the back she came around the table to see if her colleague was going to kneel. >> colleagues everywhere. veterans in the audience scream at her to stand up telling their personal stories how offended they are. doesn't seem to bother her. she is against the flag and the pledge of allegiance in particular. steve: in particular she is against donald trump. she have. so reaction some of the people there last night. let's play some of that. >> what were you thinking when you kneeled down for the sacred pledge of allegiance what those people died for gives you the right to do that and disrespect. i think it's -- >> i wholeheartedly respect your right to protest if that's what you would like to do, do that on your own

time. [applause] >> kneel and turn your back on that flag. you turned it on half of this town. steve: a lot of folks in haddam would like to see her resign. she said she would not. ainsley: she has no plans to seek a higher office, she says. she has received harassment and threats over her protest and calls for her resignation. brian: is this about freedom or is this about disrespect? tomi slarn contributor up early for us or out late. we're not sure. tomi, what's your reaction to the reaction? the reaction i find heartening. >> well, the citizens of that town really said it better than i ever could. you could see their emotion and operatism which is patrioti. we have to remember that just because she has the right doesn't make her right. and it also doesn't mean that she is going to be shielded from criticism. she is choosing to do this and choosing to disrespect the flag, clearly.

veterans in the crowd feel that she is disrespecting them and she deserves to be called out for it. ainsley: it's hard really to watch this in my personal opinion. we have been watching awflg the remains that are in caskets coming home to america. families without their loved ones, they made the ultimate sacrifice. we had a guy on the show the other day didn't see his dad after he was 4 years old because he was missing in action. dad never came home. doesn't have answers. so, i mean, when you hear these stories and then you see people kneeling for the flag, knowing what our servicemen and women have done for this country, i mean, to me, it's just so sad. >> it's sad and it's disheartening. i think you hit the nail on the head there because we have some americans fought and died for this country. it just shows there are some, usually on the democratic side of the aisle this disdain for this president is greater than their love for this country. we need remember that whatever their issue is with this president and with this administration or republicans or trump

supporters, it shouldn't trump, if you will, their love of this country and their respect for those who fought and died for this country. why that has become something the democrats have embraceside beyond me. i don't understand it why is patriotism not something that all americans believe in. you can dislike this president and administration can you use the other 28 hours and 58 minutes a day to show that disdain for this president and administration. you don't have to use anthem and pledge of allegiance. steve: fellow right behind her who we had on the show a week ago larry magi. that's him right there in the solid green shirt with the hand over the heart right there, he said he was so shocked that she had done it, he kind of lost his place in the pledge of allegiance. fast forward, he told us on our air that apparently she has been doing this for a while. and in fact this is the first month or so she has taken a knee. she has removed flags from different events, the american flag and i believe

the connecticut flag as well. meanwhile here is her reaction to the folks in the audience calling her out. listen to this. [inaudible] steve: the town doesn't like it but it's fascist and racist she says. >> somebody choosing to represent her town and discontinue citizens has such disdain for her town and citizens and her country. at the end of the day, if she is removing american flags and kneeling for the pleedges, has disrespect for the stars and stripes. why is she choosing to represent her city, her town, her country as an elected official. that's i don't understand. if she doesn't like it so much and has so much disdain for the country in which she lives, why doesn't she just leave like the rest of the anti-trump crowd who promised to move. it's really interesting when you look at this debate and ongoing protesting it, just goes to show that even the people that claim to hate this country refuse to leave it. it must be a pretty great one, right?

[that's] [taps] ainsley: the remains of those heroes and one military dog tag handed over by the united states to north korea. steve: they will be landing

in hawaii later today for forensic testing it will be a long arduous process before finally going home to their families that is the hope. meanwhile, the vice president will meet the remains there in hawaii and on air force 2 yesterday, pete hegseth our own "fox & friends weekend" co-host flew with the vice president. pete joining us right now live from honolulu. pete, i understand halfway there you stopped in california and you picked up some people you had not been anticipating. were going to make the trip. pete: yeah. good morning, guys. absolutely. just watching those images there on the screen give me the chills. can i only imagine what it's going to be like at 2:00 p.m. today when that ceremony occurs on joint base pearl harbor hickey, just a stone's throw behind me. on the way there the vice president made intentional stop in california. we picked um probably the two most important passengers on that plane and

man and woman who were 4 and 3 years old, little girl and little boy in the 1950s when they sent their father, then young men, both pilots, both first lieutenants, both went to fight in the korean war and they recalled to me and recalled in media reports that last hug and that last kiss to their father before they went to that war and ultimately never came home. both shot down. remains never found. they dedicated their lives for the last 60 years finding out what happened to their fathers, what happened though those patriots, warriors who went to fight for us for every generation of americans. they will be there with the vice president at this ceremony today just grateful that our country cares so much that we keep searching. and that amidst big geopolitical debates and discussions about denuclearization of peninsulas, what still matters to american patriots are getting our boys home and today we are going to get 55 of them. we don't know who they are. it will be a long process to determine who they are. this is all geo politics but it's ultimately personal.

and about following through on the promise we made to our warriors. brian: you have got about 7,000 missing in action that we know of. they say they have remains of 200. and the thing that's different about this time as opposed to other times when we have asked for the remains and gotten some here and there, is that the north koreans did not get paid for this. n this case they didn't ask for money that does show somewhat of improvement and thawing between nations, right? >> no. that's right. i had a chance to talk off the record with the vice president on the flight over. he emphasized just that don't under estimate what a powerful statement this is by chairman kim and the north koreans. we didn't give up anything other than the willingness to meet. they said they would delivery mansz. they have. all we can do is take that as a gesture of good faith. and hope that it means that we are continuing down the path toward a better outcome on the korean peninsula. this war is still not over,

technically. the conclusion of the war could be an outcome from this process as well. ainsley: looking at pictures with you with vice president pence and karen pence. here are more of the pictures on air force 2. what does this mean to you? i know you are a veteran, you fought for this country gone overseas, several deploimentsz. >> you know, sean parnell put it earlier on the program i would reemphasize that. put in your only context. imagine the guys i went to serve with iraq and afghanistan never found. i could count on the greatest country on earth would be willing through the support of negotiations and tough ones do everything they can to bring those guys back and put them back on american soil where they belong. see, americans have spilled blood on foreign continents for decades. korea being a great example. the forest, the mountain, the riverbed he is, the jungles, the forgotten places in the forgottible

war. those men should not and could not ever be forgotten. speaks to the commitment of our government and speaks to the commitment of president trump and vice president pence. the mood on that plane, guys, was as somber and serious and honorable as i have ever seen this vice president personal it's personal to him his father was a combat veteran in korea who did come home. his father told him those heroes are the guys who never came home. we know who to truly remember and today we remember them. steve: absolutely. and as we talk a little bit about remembering them, it's going to be scientifically tough to figure out who those remains belong to. while they sent over 55 small caskets, it is unknown how many sets of bones are in there. how many fragments. the only guarantee was they believe they have removed any animal bones. pete, how are people who are related to those who are lost in action back decades

ago going to get themselves into some sort of a d.n.a. data base? >> yeah. i'm told this is the part where there will be need for patience and letting the process play itself out. even the families, i got to speak to those families very, very briefly. there isn't and i have spoken to other folks from the korean war conflict who have family members missing. there isn't always a high expectation that it will be indeed their father or mother that is identified and they will know exactly where they are. it is the overall sense that they are being remembered no matter what and hopefully, the hope still remains for a lot of the them that maybe that is my dad. and maybe i will get to lay him to rest on american soil where he belongs. that's the abiding sense and i think he keeps a lot of them going. they have bonded together. they feel like and have said many times hey, if it's my friend's father i'm just as happy as if it's mine. we have come together as brothers in arms wanting to get an answer about where our dad is this many years

ago. steve: indeed. the message is we don't leave anybody behind. pete hegseth live in honolulu not far from hickman air force base. should be arriving in eight hours. you will see it live on fox. ainsley: 55 sets of remains. have we heard that there are more that would be coming later? because i know that were more that were missing in action. brian: i have not heard but you would expect it to be. steve: that's one of the unknowns it is known north korea has said in the past they had 200 sets. they don't know if they have combined them into those 55 small coffins. there are a lot of questions we don't have any answers. to say we do know there is only one piece of positive identification. it's one set of dog tags and the name on the dog tags has not been released. brian: but i do know. this we have again, requested to be able to walk north korea to the sites where we know these explosions or these actions or fire fights took place or where the prinks. were and so far we have

gotten that green light yet. obviously they are very suspect when you are in a hermit kingdom u.n. forces or u.s. delegates walking. steve: they don't want us in that country. ainsley: the president, we remember when we sat down with kim jong un. this was something on his platform and list he wanted to get those remain back. when he came home he said the remains are going to be sent back to earthquake in. that's great. the vice president is there as you know. he is going to be accepting those remains. meanwhile, the president, he was working on something else that's extremely important to him. that's getting more republicans elected in the mid terms. he went down to florida to rally for several people that are in tight reyess down there. and at the fairgrounds in tampa. if you missed it yesterday, this is what he had to say. >> u.s. economy grew at 4.1% last quarter. we're in the longest positive job growth streak in history. democrats want to raise your taxes. they want to destroy your jobs. democrats want open borders,

which equals massive crime. we want maximum border security and respect for our heroes ice, border patrol, and law enforcement. we're going to have tremendous border security that will include the wall. look at judge kavanaugh. so far, the democrats haven't given us any votes and that's because they will do anything they can to not help the trump agenda. under previous administrations, we never won. we got used to never winning. the economy is too good. the jobs are too strong. we're doing too well. they say he is not acting presidential. anybody can act presidential. you are tremendous and i will leave now because i am boring you to death. thank you. brian: he did point out yesterday that he is the most popular republican

president, even put himself lincoln i'm not sure we were doing polls back then and he had the civil war working against him. he does have an economic story that every other president would just be envious of. including more news that came yesterday. america on a whole got the biggest pay raise over the last quarter that they have gotten in 10 years. got wage earners -- wages are going up. they say that's the last thing to go. and it's starting to move. ainsley: all right. >> steve: it's a wide ranging rally. it was the president's 36th time he has rallied down in florida. brian: i think republicans are most optimistic about stealing a seat in florida with rick scott and most worried about losing one in tennessee right now. ainsley: it's amazing when he endorses someone they seem to do pretty well. hand it over to jillian who has more headlines. jillian: following a lot of the stories this morning starting with. this a story we have within following for two weeks now there.

investigators are searching for a man who may be linked to a missing college student. 20-year-old mollie tibbets vanished two weeks ago in brooklyn, iowa, after returning to her boyfriend's house from a jog. two hours away in debuick where mollie's proiferred works a man assaulted another jogger. this is the latest information. ted williams has been working the scene in iowa and says this case is still a big mystery. >> everybody is still a suspect in this investigation, guys. it's like a needle in the haystack out here. they are trying to find out what happened to mollie. jillian: the fbi is following hundreds of leads and we will keep you updated. we are gist hours away from day two of the trial against former trump campaign chairman paul manafort. his lavish lifestyle taking center stage during opening statements as prosecutors claim he lied by money ahead of the law.

special case against doesn't include any russian conclusion or links to the 2016 campaign if convicted manafort faces 335 years behind bars. one of president trump's favorite sayings. >> going to washington, d.c. and we are going to drain the swamp. jillian: that's the inspiration behind this new painting called crossing the swamp. a rift on the classic painting washington crossing the delaware utah based. instead of george washington and his crew as you can see, the president is there with his administration in washington, d.c. we want to know what you think about this, email us at friends@foxnews.com. brian: or send us your painting. jillian: can you do that as well. ainsley: where is the drain? steve: pulling the plug.

steve: the trump administration working to

dismantle parts of oklahoma. a new rule goes into effect today gives americans a more choice lower cost gott the green light from the office of management and budget. what does this mean for the average american? joining us with more is health and human services secretary alex azar joining us from d.c. good morning alex. >> good morning, steve. steve: tell us about the new plan. >> the president is delivering on promise to deliver more affordable options for health insurance to americans. these plans we are rolling out today can deliver affordable options for people at 50 to 80% lower costs than what the obamacare exchange insurance options have. this is relief, perhaps, for millions of americans. because they have been left behind by the affordable care act's false promises that they would have insurance. everybody would have affordable insurance. it would cover every doctor they wanted, et cetera. it left 28 million americans behind without access to affordable insurance or

without choices of insurance. premium us doubling even before the president took office in the obamacare market. so these are called short-term limited duration plans. steve: okay. >> you can get them up to 12 months. what we are doing is allowing those to be renumber up to threrenewable up. you have to qualify for this type of insurance. you have to go through what's called medical underwriting where the insurer would have to decide to take you. they may not cover every condition. but it's a really important option for a lot of people in transition between jobs. those gig economy workers who work on their owns a independent contractors. folks struggling with three part time jobs and don't get insurance from any one employer really important option. that's what we are about is putting the individual and the states back in the driver's seat here. steve: there you go. you said there are still 28 million americans who don't have insurance. given the fact that this is, what did you say, 50 toe 80% cheaper. the whole idea is to get them back into the system

even though this doesn't have the very expensive essential benefits that all of the affordable care act different policies did have. >> that's right, steve. we have tried to be very clear about this option that it may not be right for everybody. we have actually required more significant and transparents disclosures of all of these provisions than the obama administration has. so we are trying to make sure that people go in with their eyes open but for many people this may be the right option for them. in those transition periods. what if you are in rural area and only have one obamacare plan there and it doesn't cover the hospital or doctors in your area. this may be an option for you also. for many who have preexisting conditions or who have other health worries, the obamacare plans might be right for them. we're just providing more options and putting them in the driver's seat. steve: that sounds good to the folks watching right now. they will be able to check it out with their healthcare

provider. alex azar, the secretary of health and human services, thank you very much for joining us live. >> thank you, steve. steve: what do you think about universal income. it's flopsd in other countries. would it work here? a debate next. the amount of damage that water could do. we called usaa. and they greeted me as they always do. sergeant baker, how are you? they were on it. it was unbelievable. having insurance is something everyone needs, but having usaa- now that's a privilege. we're the baker's and we're usaa members for life. usaa. get your insurance quote today.

ainsley eyewitness time now for news by the numbers. first, $7 million, that is how much this democratic governor's summer home is worth. new jersey's newly elected governor phil murphy took a sudden trip to italy last week mawng slew of problems in his state. next, 30 million that is how many americans can expect to owe uncle sam, more than usual when tax time rolls around. congressional auditors say those affected can blame employers not holding enough from paychecks under the new tax laws. 25. that is how many months straight fox news has spent

as the most watched network in all of cable. 25 months, guys. it is all thanks to you, the incredible viewer. our network topped cnn and msnbc as the most watched cable news network for the 199th straight month. thank you so much for keeping us employed. we love you all. brian? brian: and keeping us number one i should add. let's hope for 26. take it a month at a time. thank you, viewers. some on the left. some democrats want universal basic income with some programs already in liberal cities and countries. liberal cities like california. but it's already falling and failing all over the globe. you have finland and in their two year experiment with a guaranteed income ontario, canada, just abandoning their plan of a guaranteed income because it's not working. too expensive. so, why is universal basic income, money for nothing so popular and why has it failed so prevalently?

with us now is jenna ellis, the director of policy public for the james dobson institute and capri cafaro resident at the american university school of public affairs. welcome to both of you. capri. >> good morning. >> we want to give people money for nothing because we care about people and they are in tough situations. why doesn't it work? >> well, call dire straits, you said money for nothing, the next thing is chicks for free. a little bit of levity this morning. brian: you got it. >> 13 years ago before i was in office i actually worked with the united nations ngo and did research on their. really, universal basic income is not suited for a developed economy like finland, like canada, like the united states. the places where it does actually have some validity and some value is in the developing world. and places like the african continent where, for example, an entire generation was wind out by aides. so you had grandparents

raising grand children, right? so these grandparents basically aged out of being able to work in any meaningful way but they had to raise these kids, so they didn't have the skills, so universal based income was able to help these people sustain their family. in a place like finland the united states or canada. we are better off trying to spend this money on workforce development. on affordable child care and other things. just not enough money to get the job done. brian: capri i appreciate the research on this. something else missing. people want to have value, if you can't appreciate something fundamentally that you get for free even if your heart is in the right place, the execution never works. why is that jenna? >> well, universal basic income is essentially a form of socialism. there is a reasonable why socialism has always failed that's because incentives and value as you said brian are meaningful for americans and opportunities that we have to pursue happiness. our founding fathers

understood that capitalism and the american dream was built on the fact that we don't just get something for nothing. we have an opportunity to work. and work is not a bad word. work is something that is born in the human spirit. it's in the reality to which we are presented. i think that's why president trump's economy has been so successful. i mean, we are seeing lower taxes. we are seeing a boost in the economy. we have the 4.1% g.d.p. rate. that's because everyone understands that merit-based achievement and those incentives will always increase productivity in the economy. it's not going to be something for free. that always has to come from somewhere. and when you are taxing people and redistributing wealth without merit, that encourages laziness. that's what we saw in finland. it's not going to work in a westernized country particularly in the united states where we all take really great pride four work. brian: a capri critics said doesn't work not enough money. give somebody $10,000 not enough livable wage therefore the cycle isn't

broken. does that resonate with you? >> what we saw, for example, in the finland case was that it was not enough money in order to sustain even affording, you know, basic living accommodations. that's not necessarily the solution because, you know, ultimately again in the case of finland, the entire government budget to be able to provide universal basic income. in my view it, would be better off to invest strategicfully things like workforce development to deal with the skills gap to help reduce unemployment. i can say this, too. when it comes to a developed economy where we do take pride in work as liz said, when i was a state senator in ohio and we were hitting hard times, people, when they called for wanting benefits, they were ashamed. they wanted to work. they didn't want a handout. brian: it's a mind set. >> let's give people tools to be able to get in the workforce. not to sit around. brian: jenna, real quick because we are up against it. do you believe that if a

democrat wants to run on this that the democratic party will get nervous about that because that is not something the democratic party believes? >> well, the democrats are actually adhering to the forms of socialism that's really surprising and is going to be very damaging. again, if you look at president trump's economy, people on the average american worker are really incredibly excited about the tax return, the economy is boosting. the democratic party is really hanging their hat on socialism. that's going to be a losing issue for them. brian: correct. >> why are we turning to the government for solutions here when really humanitarianism has always been out of the church and the family and those individual relationships. this isn't the solution that we need to go to government for. and that's what conservatism actually stands for and that's why the g.o.p. platform is actually going to win in the primary. brian: by the way, you two are so good at your job i'm a minute over. thanks so much for doing your research. we will be discussing it over and over. it's a common theme. we have a right to pursue

happiness. we don't want to fix the results. straight ahead, ladies. >> thank you. brian: i have lens so bad in chicago parents are forced to hide their kids and they've had enough. >> police to walk the street like they used to. >> mayor needs to come here, bring the u.s. marshals and let our kids play down the street like they're supposed to and not being shot at. brian: have the president bring the national guard. will rahm emanuel listen? this official sparked national outrage after kneeling during the pledge of allegiance. guess what? she is doing it again. >> i pledge allegiance to the flag.

steve: and that got a big ovation from the crowd down in tampa, yesterday. we have been talking a lot about how players and other people throughout the world have not stood for the national anthem and have taken a knee. and now two weeks ago we brought you the story of how up new haddam, connecticut, a member of the town council, there she is right there a democrat by the name of melissa schlag has decided to take a knee during the pledge of allegiance. ainsley: well, it turns out she did it again. the town official, she is opposing president trump's policies and she took a knee during the pledge of allegiance. listen to this. >> i members of the jury allegiance. [crowd boos] steve: that was last night. she knew that she was going to take heat. there were over 100 people in attendance. it looks like that's inside a fire station up in haddam. the folks during her display

find them. brian: with althem.brian. ainsley: what's your impression of democrats or what are your feelings when you hear they want to abolish ice? >> i think it's a little bit misguided and misinformed at best and politically motivated at worst. i used to prepare the agents every election year by saying get ready, we're getting into the political crazy season. you're going to hear some pretty tough rhetoric against ice. and what you really need to do is stay focused and enforce the law. defend the constitution and be professional about it. and keep your head down, watch your back and be safe and try ignore all the noise going around. this year it's crazier than ever, it's really really crazy. ainsley: you say they are miss informed. i want to show you video. ice official matthew albence on the hill. he was explaining the laws to democratic senator maizy hirono. she didn't understand the law. she starts to question him and he teaches her a lesson.

[playing of taps] steve: the remain of an unclear number of heroes. a military dog tag handed over to the united states by north korea. brian: they land in hawaii for days of forensic testing.

could take years. there are no proof they are not necessarily all american remains. they could be international remains. as happened other types in tradeoffs like this, there may be animal bones in the mix. no one is committed for anything. one thing for sure we did not pay. past years they wanted money or trade for this. this was not requested forgiven. stuart: right. steve: we know 55 small coffins handed over. as you can see they had the united nations flag on them. they are being flown to hickam air force base not far from where our own pete hegseth is. pete flew with the vice president of the united states yesterday on air force one from new york. pete, you made a stop in california you didn't know about. reporter: that's right. we made a stop in california on our way to hawaii at travis air force base and we picked up two individuals who will be there do for the ceremony happening 2:00 local time who have a

direct connection. it was powerful to meet them. you could see the vice president affected by their very presence. one was a 4-year-old girl when her father left for the korean war. another a 3-year-old boy. both said good-bye to their young father. both first lieutenant, one to be a pilot, one part of a aircraft crew. neither of their fathers ever came back. for 60 years, her name is diane, his name is rick, they have been wondering where their father is, where his remains will be and if the government remains committed to do everything they can to bring him home. they both traveled with the vice president. we'll get a chance to talk to the vice president today about it, but you can feel the gravity, feel it on the plane. i know we'll feel it tomorrow because this ceremony demonstrates the commitment our country has to bringing every single person home, if they're not just number, not just boxes, these are young men that left

everything behind. in their case a 3, 4-year-old daughter, 3-year-old boy. there are many other americans whose mother and fathers left for korea. i get chills seeing video there. i can't imagine what it will feel like today to welcome these boys home. steve: pete, because the bones have not been analyzed using dna, i just got an email from somebody, apparently people across the country are taking part in the korean war project, you can submit a dna sample. you can do that state by state. because the bones have not been eye feed do you think the two people picked up in california are related to one set of dog tags being returned? >> they don't know honestly. they would admit that but what they also, both of them are committed not just to finding out where their own father was but helping and working,

networking with other families of korean war vets. to make sure our government never forgets them. these are often forgotten men and women and forgotten families. they said even remains of other families, never just the same as your family means a ton to them. being a part of the symbolism to this is part of welcoming home these forgotten men and women, remember, for 50, 60, 70 years, were in a forest, hillside, riverbed, valley, covered in snow or south of north korea, largely forgotten, until part of geopolitical back and forth, in exchange for no money, as part of an outreach their remains are being brought back. hopefully we get a chance to talk to both of them today. we get a chance to talk with the vice president, and his general comments, when we talked to him privately yesterday, don't downplay the significance of this. this is significant symbol from

the north koreans they're trying to work in good faith in the larger and bigger push about the denuclearization of the peninsula. brian: brings back to highlight what that war was, it was so brutal. we had to fight our way on to the peninsula. push the north koreans back beyond the 38th parallel, to the point where chinese come flooding in. they lose hundreds of thousands. we lose 33,000. we have 20 nations fighting with us. because it ends without a definite winner or loser, even though north korea was forced back, no one really talks about the war. for people that fought in it, they knew what it took to be successful in this war. >> it was the first salvo of the cold war, after having fought world war ii, that generation was hoping an era of peace was upon us. with the red menace and the soviet union they threw down the gauntlet in korea, we did as well. a military largely unprepared. a lot of casualties on all

sides. some families admit their remains of servicemembers could be in china or russia or camps where americans were brought as well. should never be forgotten. for my generation, if there were men left in iraq and afghanistan, we had a chance to bring them back 50 or 60 years later i would welcome them home the same way today i would, that day i would if they came home with us. vice president mike pence said it really well. he said his father served in the korean war as combat veteran. real heroes are the twice that never came back. that is utterance of warriors from every single generation. today these boys come home. i say, welcome home, boys. and america can't wait. ainsley: they took their last breath on foreign soil, but did that for america. they deserve to be back here on american soil finally so they can rest in peace. brian: mcarthur wanted to drop the atomic bomb on red china.

steve: this so important. you will see the service ceremony later this afternoon live from hawaii. ainsley: thank you, pete. thanks for going to cover this. brian: meanwhile in florida last night the president did bring up north korea a little bit. says they're making progress but of course we do know those reports that they have not stopped building up their nuclear program and pictures reveal that is indeed the case but the president brought up a lot of things but most of all he was there to bolster the opportunity for ron desantis to become the next governor, get the republican nomination first. for rick scott, a popular governor, two-term governor who wantings to unseat bill nelson who has been there for an eternity, that would be a upset get the republicans closer to 60. steve: one of the things about a trump rally, this is the 60th one he had in florida, out at the state fairgrounds.

right thing to do fiscally. saves $20 billion. it is right thing to do morally. a great jewish philosopher said highest of virtue is helping someone find jobs. the goal is not to keep people on government dependency. to keep them in the thriving economy. they have 4.1 gdp growth, the economy is booming. 40 million american citizens are not in the labor force. that is the next step. don't go the cheap labor crowd. go this way. to my senate colleagues it 83% popular. you don't get a home run like that. paul ryan is great on the public policy. it's a win-win. getting them out of the welfare trap, into the growing economy where wages go up. it is great for the family structure. solves a lot of other issues we're fighting back home. opioids and trafficking, mental health issues, gives people in the labor force, it gift them

dignity, it is positive. we need to teach our kids work is a great thing. it's a win-win all around. brian: cbo says the house bill would cut snap benefits by 20 billion. do you argue with that? >> it is the wrong term. sometimes it get the too political. it will save us 20 billion as we get people out of welfare into the workforce. not only save us 20 billion, they will be contributing to gdp, paying tax, taking care of families, going up the wage ladder over time. so that's the win. that is the problem with d.c. accounting. i did a phd in economics. they miss the dynamics what will happen as a result of this, that is good for the american family. helps us keep promises to constituents we will trim spending, not increase government at the federal level at every turn. brian: right. good point too, you're trying to do the same thing with welfare. over last few years, food stamp recipient numbers gone down at 201,545,000,000, all the way now down to looking at 39,064,000.

it is trending in the right direction, you want to make sure republicans don't lose their way in conference. when do you think we'll know? >> we're looking for any word from the senate, they tip their hat on this. we tried to get obama care fixes to lower premiums for people out there. we tried to get a budget. it is not all republican -- we needed nine senate democrats votes on the budget. to get their votes they plussed up the budget by $400 billion. the people back home don't know that we need nine senate democrats to go along with this. that makes it tough. this is the right thing to do for people. to my democrat colleagues, they ban the same thing of the they want good outcomes for these folks. get together, compromise, have a great bill. brian: somewhere, somehow, some politician has to cut spending. i don't know who is going to do

it. congressman, thanks so much. >> thanks, brian. brian: two minutes before the bottom of the hour. it has been eight years since he died. today brian terry's accused killer will face a judge for the first time. will his family finally get the justice they deserve? michelle malkin weighs in. you know about washington crossing the delaware but have you seen this? trump crossing the swamp. your comments coming through. ♪ at bayer, our roots run deep. so chances are, you've seen us around the house. or... around the yard. on the shelf... or even... out in the field. your mom knew she could always count on us... and your grandma did too. because for over 150 years, we've been right by your side. advancing the health of the people, plants and pets you love. so, from all of us at bayer...

>> we want maximum border security and respect for our heroes, i.c.e., border patrol, and law enforcement. [cheers and applause] republicans want strong borders and no crime. we're going to have tremendous

border security that will include the wall. that will include the wall. [cheering] brian: does republicans want to give him that? i think some republicans are against the wall as some democrats are. steve: appears that way. let's talk to michelle malkin covering immigration, since she wrote the book called invasion years ago. host of michelle malkin investigates from crtv. joins us from the beautiful state of colorado. michelle, what do you make of the president and his pitch for border security? sounded yesterday, the day before might actually shut down the government to get the wall. but then we hear, mitch, paul, they cut a deal. if they do shut down the government, that wouldn't happen until after the election? >> well it should be front and center before the midterms and i am glad that president trump is continuing to draw the line and throw doesn't gauntlet in front of these gop establishment

types. border security is a commitment that doesn't have an expiration date. it is a constitutional duty. it is a prerogative, it is imperative that never ends, and president trump cited the high, skyrocketing murder rates in mexico. look at the mexican government's response. they don't want him to talk about it, even though it was front and center as a central issue in the recent mexican elections. this is not just a single issue. you will hear the media and the never-trumpers and the open borders faction, lobbyists on both the left and right say, why is he so obsessed with this single issue. it is not just a single issue. it is every issue. it affects our national security, our public safety, our health care, our welfare and our economy and it's a humanitarian crisis. not that we just don't want the chaos and anarchy crossing the border, it is a humanitarian crisis for mexico as well. as long as we have open border

we'ren i believing that on their side too. brian: heroin and fentanyl, exactly coming from our southern border, but, michelle, he got 1.6 billion to start on it, they're making progress. five billion in september to get more. 5 billion will keep you busy another four, five, six months. i could see gradually do it. i don't understand why speaker ryan make sure it's in? >> that's right, brian. and look, tell you what, the american people are sick and tired of having these little parsing down paints on the fundamental duty of our government. why is it that the beltway establishment types who answer more to corporate special interests than they do to ordinary citizenss especially the people on the border? the ranchers, the property owners, families who have been waging this war on their own have been abandoned? why is it always we'll give you a little bit here, a little bit there, why don't you just wait, wait? no more waiting anymore. i hope when president trump

threatens to shut down this government he is willing, able and ready to do it. ainsley: michelle, brian terry, the border agent killed connected with "fast & furious," his alleged killer will be in court. he was just extradited back from mexico. there is a picture of brian terry. his brother is trying to get the documents in his brother's case released. his name is kent perry. he says my family continues to take emotional beating over not having answers, override sessions, release the documents. you are the president. that is a message from the president. what are your thoughts? >> i would like a amplify everything that kent terry said. i've been covering the day every day since it was reported it was far too long for the terry family to get accountability they deserve. there is no excuse for not releasing those documents which were promised to them back in march. the kent terry, who i communicated with this morning reminds us they were told in

march, it would only be 30, 60 days, get documents they have been in litigation for half dozen years to be released. they are not the only ones. i want to remind people, victor a villa, and family of jaime zapate, worked for homeland security, ambushed on the southern border have been stonewalled by the justice department under the obama administration. they are also fighting for documents they're asking the trump administration to release. and, terry has eric holder, going on the stephen colbert show to announce he is thinking about running for president when he was the very one who was held in contempt over these "fast & furious" issues? that is the biggest joke of all. brian: he wants to be on somebody's ticket at very least. steve: michelle, the whole thing about the department of justice with holding these documents, looks like so many other things we've been hearing about. they're trying to cya over something that happen ad while ago but you would think this new

president, who was not presiding over the nation during the time of "fast & furious" would say, you know what? the country has a right to know what happened? >> kent terry this morning was tweeting at president trump, asking him, begging him for help. and these are the forgotten men and women and families who were railroaded under the obama administration, now begging for answers. it is unacceptable. brian: you can change it. he can change it today. thanks, michelle. ainsley: jillian has more headlines for us. she is over there. jillian: get you caught up on some news we're following starting with this story. principle 3d gun blueprint set to go online put on hold. a judge blocked it a day after eight states sued. they wanted to block a settlement between the company and the state department that would have made the plans abs sessable today. the company is vowing to fight. >> i believe i am championing the second amendment in the 21st century. i think access to the firearm is a fundamental human dignity. it is fundamental human right.

jillian: critics are concerned the plans could help put weapons in the hands of criminals. a driver slam as car right through a store and pinning a employee underneath. shoppers are steps away and the car plows through the shop in are charlotte, north carolina. a customer rushes to his rescue, pulling him out. he is expected to be okay. the driver thought the car was in reverse. she is not facing charges. alarming trend of non-citizens getting to vote. immigrants are showing up on voter rolls throughout the country. a non-profit watchdog group found 5hundred non-citizens were registered in virginia alone last year. they say non-citizens often get registered by signing petitions and many election officials are not verifying their status. one of the president trump's favorite sayings. >> we are going to washington, d.c., and we are going to drain the swamp.

jillian: that's the inspiration behind a new painting. you see it right there, called, crossing the swamp. it is a riff on the classic painting, washington crossing the delaware. instead of george washington and his crew, you can see the president and his administration in washington, d.c. your emails on this one have been pouring in. dave writes, love it, but can we actually drain it? i sure hope so. mary says best painting i've seen in a very long time. captures a huge meaning with humor. love a copy. i love the painting of trump crossing the delaware draining the swamp. he is like george washington in my mind,. steve: washington is the swamp and the other paint something washington crossing the delaware. brian: there should be a plug there. absolutely a little roto-rooter

jill instead an anchor, a drain. steve: weather anchor janice dean was out on the street. an hour ago, nobody to be seen. this hour -- >> did you you come to give me a hug? group hug, everybody. yea. good, good. that's all. let's take a look at the maps. here in new york city, we have rain in the forecast. we still have rain this afternoon. we could see potential for stronger storms. keep that in mind, we could have watch or warning in new york city area outside of the new york city area. we have a lot of rain coming in from the gulf of mexico. keep that in mind this week. the potential of flash flooding exists from florida all the way up through the northeast. this is the ongoing story unfortunately for the last couple weeks. out west, still very warm. we have over 80 wildfires burning. so the good news we have a little bit of relief next week in terms of temperatures.

event occurs where an active shooter shows up on the campus. with a firearm to hurt our children, they are to run to them and shoot them graveyard dead, period. ainsley: was there any opposition to this? >> not in our community. and we find that the support is growing across the state and nation. there is always a few naysayers that don't want guns. they don't want this, they don't want that, but you know, not one of them has a better idea. until they do, they just need to sit down and be quiet. if they have a better idea, we're all ears. ainsley: we heard so many different stories after the shooting and it was one story in particular that stands out. the coach that was blocking other children from getting killed, he lost his life as a result. his name was aaron feis. i understand the program is named after him? >> yes, in the state of florida we passed a law and said that you will have armed, well-trained security, either a

law enforcement officer or a trained guardian on every public school campus in this state when school begins on august 13th. ainsley: that's great. >> we named the program after him. ainsley: that's great. sheriff, thank you for being with us. god bless you. >> y'all have a great day. ainsley: you too. griff jenkins having breakfast with friends in the great state of florida. we'll go back back down to tanko him. first sandra smith with what is coming up on her show next hour. >> a bombshell we're following from facebook. it uncovers sophisticated efforts to disrupt our elections. fresh reaction from the senate intelligence committee in moments. 65 years later north korea returns the 65 remains of possible american servicemen from korea. latest in florida from the gubernatorial race when adam putnam joins us live next hour. newt gingrich is the headliner next morning.
