foundation of this national cooperation. they brought down empires. they recognized many nations. they redrew national borders. they even dreamt at that time of a political europe. but hugh milwar once again, yea, destroyed the paths toward peace. today here people of the whole world on this sacreddes sacred e tomb of the unknown soldier, the anonymous soldier who symbolizes all of those who died for the

homelanhomeland, see so many ofr leaders come together, each one of them bring with them so many martyrs of their own nation. each one of them represents the face of the hope for an entire generation agreed to die to make a world better, once again with friendship between people prevailed over war, a world where the words of men must speak louder than the clammer of iron, where bodies exist allowing former enemies to come together to dialogue as a pledge of a harmony that at last is possible to achieve. and on our continent this is

represented by the kind of friendship between germany and france and the desire to build a bebedrock of common goals. this hope is called the european union. a union freely entered into, a union that has freed us. the organization of the united nations which is a guarantee of the spirit of cooperation to defend the common good of the world that has its fate linked and had drawn the painful lessons of the league of nations. we have a certainty that the worst is never over, that the worst rather can be overcome as

long as we have men and women with goodwill to guide us. without shame, without fear, let us be those men and women of goodwill. i know there are all demons coming back to the surface, ready to wreak chaos and death. knew ideologies that manipulate religion that spread. history sometimes threatens to take a sinister course once again and compromise, under mine our legacy of piece that we thought we had forever sealed with the blood f 0 our forbearers. i wish this day of commemoration to be the day when we renew or eternal pledge to honor the dead. let us pledge as nations to place peace above all else

because we know the price. we know the demands. all of us here, political leaders, we must, on this day, 11th of november, 2018, reassert to our citizens our true, our huge responsibility, the responsibility of handing down to our children a world such as was dreamt of by generations. let us add our hopes together instead of seeing our fears oppose each other. together we can thwart the threat of climate warming, of poverty, hunger, sickness, inequalities, ignorance.

we have started this struggle. we can win this battle. let's continue to do so because victory is possible together we can break with the new betrayal of the intellectuals that feed false hoods that accept injustices, fuel extremist speech. koght we can foster an amazing development of science, art, change, education, medicine, these are developments that i see happening everywhere around the world. because if we wish it to be so, our world is, at the dawn of a new era, at the dawn of a civilization that gives pride and place to man's ambitions and faculties. and to ruin this hope by giving

to the fascination of withdrawal, violence and denomination would be a grave error that future generations would very rightly make us responsible for. today here together let us face the judgment of future generations with dignity. flans knows what it owes its soldiers and to the soldiers who came from around the world. it recognizes their greatness. france respectfully and solemnly pays tribute to those from other countries who died for france. those that in the past it fought against.

our feet rise up in the soul that is a shrine to the dead. on these tombs where they are buried, we want to see aize the certainty that a better world is possible if we so wish it, if we decide it, we if we decide to build it, if we want it with our entire soul. today on november 11, 2018, 100 years after a massacre, the scars of which are still visible. i thank you for gathering in brotherhood. we hope that you will -- this gathering will not last but one day. this brotherhood, this fraternity, ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, is an invitation to enter into the

wars and a conflict that spanned an entire generation of young men on the front lines wondering if the war would ever end. one of the most powerful moments as i was preparing for the show, they were reading leaders from soldiers talking about what that day meant to them. it was inconceivable, the carnage of the front line of the trenches would be over, they would live to another day. there was a lot of hopefulness after the first war that it would lead to an utter peace. you heard about the league of nations that lead to the united nations. but some of the things that came out of world war i that would eventually lead to a second world war on the continent. >> the french president talked about the league of nations that some say failed and led to world war ii and therefore the united nations was fowmed.

that president trump's message has gotten through to him and he understands the need for france and others in europe to step up and pay more of their fair share. another example of president trump with the america first policy initially sort of being derided around the world, france and other places, this is a fool's ir rand and you're not going to get europe to pay its share. and even president macron is making presents. >> our own greg pellcot is on the front in paris, france. we'll go to them throughout the morning. but as the ceremonies is going on, the president paying attention to what's going on but very focused on what's happening in the united states, also on florida. we move on to a fox news alert in that area. all eyes on that state as we officially head to a voter recount in the highly watched senator and gubernatorial races. >> in the next hour the recount

we're going to count all of them, that's not the way the system works. no vote that is not entitled to be counted should be counted. that's the whole reason why we have a s system. snipes has not been transparent. governor scott had too go to court to get an order to open the doors. in addition they're filing ballots in trunks of cars, hallways of buildings. the competence of the system whether it's intentional or otherwise is not acceptable. >> when qulu talk about ballots being found in trunks, there were ryder trucks pulling in and out of snipes' office open and complex there. senator marco rubio has been aggressive in shining a light on this, senator matt gates as well. what does that tell you when you have two republicans who believed they have won in the governor's race and senate race and now all of the sudden the

looks like the ceremony has concluded as the world leaders are marking the 100th anniversary of the end of world war i come together. we heard emanuel macron, the

president of france give a speech, make some sideswipe remarks toward the president and others. we'll get to that. coming together to lay a wreath. >> president trump will go on to the ambassador's rez dmen residd rater on arriving at the memorial to pay his respects there, he'll attend the american commemoration se ceremony there. >> and the president will give remarks just after about 9 a.m. eastern time. we'll go there live later here in this program. interesting to see ho obviouslye president has prepared remarks that was scrubbed by the white house days ago. whether he adds a line or two reacting to president macron will certainly be very interesting. as pete alluded to the fact that president macron at this solemn ceremony marking the end of

world war i clearly seemed to be taking a swipe at president trump talking about going after what he called nationalism, saying nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism. macron going on to decry what he called the selfishness of a nation which only looks at its own interests. clearly seemed to be going after president trump's america first approach. >> patriotism is the comact opposite of nationalism. nationalism the betrailed of patriotism. our interest first, who cares about others. to paraphrase briefly, moral values. vladimir putin is sitting there. that might be a swipe at vladimir putin. but you look at the world today and the back and forth relationship between the president and manua emanuel mac. >> macron's comments come a day

and a half after he made the controversial statement of europeans building their own army to fight against russia and china and the united states. when president trump arrived yesterday in france it was clear that the relationship had turned a little icy when they met yesterday in front of the cameras to talk about president trump's trip to paris. having these comments today i'm sure president trump is noticing what is being said. >> and not happy with it. clearly that is not a fair and accurate disthat la of presidens policy. he's never said we're abandoning europe, we're not going to help our allies. as i mentioned at the top of the show, he made clear that we're going to work together, we're there to defend europe but they have to pay more of the burden. they have to pay their fair share. that is something that president has said again and again. just because you're saying you're putting america first doesn't mean you're leaving our

allies behind. >> here you are commemorating a horrific world war triggered by dictators who ignored borders, slaughters millions of people, women and children and innocents in a protracted war for land that led eventually to another protracted war for land where dictators committed genocide against vulnerable minorities. to compare that to an american president who says i just want to have borders, i want to have an army. the greatest tool for peace the world has ever seen that went across the atlantic ocean to defend europe twice, to allude that is remotely similar to what happened on that continent is offensive and i will anticipate the president when he takes the podium -- you want to give memory and tribute to those who deserve it. but politics and swipes also

have to be answered in real time because history is not over. and to allude to that i think is really unfortunate and unhealthy. >> the comments come at an interesting time in european history as well with the uk leaving with brexit, the europeans have issues about their own sovereignty, questioning the decisions made in the past ten years in terms of the refugee crisis. >> angela merkel sitting there next to president trump being pushed out of office because of her unpopularity after many many years as the chancellor because, among other things, how she's perceived to have mishandled the migrant crisis in her own country. >> as well as with macron who play as tap dance with his own population. we saw the president and the first lady about to leave this. they're heading to the

ambassador's residence. there's a luncheon and remarks at an american cemetery there in france where the president will have a chance to speak about the importance of this day but also respond to these remarks. >> this event lasted for an hour. there were 80 countries represented from all over the would. world. it's a rainy day in paris but they made it work. they had a celebration of the end of world war i. in a solemn way they honored the tomb of the unneen soldier and remarks from president of france emanuel macron. >> we'll continue to cover this live as we mentioned. president trump will be delivering remarks just over an hour from now. but i want to bring in a armer acting i.c.e. director. we invited you on to talk about immigration and we're going to get to that. but i have to start by asking

you, you served this president, president trump. what goes through your mind when you're sitting here watching with us this playout in paris, the president is there in the first lady to join with our european allies and you have the french president take a shot at our president sitting there in the front row and attack his america first approach? >> i've said it many times. i've worked for six presidents. and this president he's a great president. he's done more for this country, rawmpletlaw enforcement and borr security than any other president. he's been taking shots since before he became president. they've never accepted him as president and it's unfortunate. he's going to do what's right for this country. take all of the shots you want on him. he's going to do what's right for this country guaranteed. >> the president stood up at a campaign rally saying i'm a

nationalist, that's who i am, i believe in any country, my borders and my flag. and you hear about president macron talk about the evils of nationalisnationalism. can you talk about the difference between nationalism that leads armies and nationalism that simply says we believe our country should a border, a common language and a flag. >> this president is about protecting the sovereignty of the country. people want to spin it against him. look, this president is good for this country. this president is sticking up for this country. this president is taking on the rest of the world letting them know the united states isn't going to be second class to anybody. this president is doing what he was elected to do and what he promised to do. anybody can argue that all they want but they can't argue with the fact that the president loves this country, he's going to defend it and defend it

without apology. >> i want to get to the executive order that the president promised a couple of weeks ago implementing new asylum rules for immigrants coming to the border. can you talk about hoi that changehow theychanges with asyly be available for asylum at ports of tri. >> the aclu filed a lawsuit against the president saying they can't claim asylum. he's saying if it's detrimental to the national interest whereby what's going on now, the people entering illegally and claim asylum. he's saying you're going to come through the port of industry, the right way, have your due process, claim asylum and do it the right way. they're actually suing for the

right of people to enter the country illegally. the president is doing the right thing. >> before the midterm elections which we can't forget. there are so many events happening coming fast and furious. when we had you on last weekend you were warning that if the democrats took the house it would be a big problem in terms of getting fund fg are the wall and other initiatives. now as you've seen, democrats are taking the house but the president is increasing his majority as you know in the senate. what does that mean looking forward to the new congress in terms of dealing with illegal immigration. >> i'm concerned that the house is being run by the democrats. dhs budget is being held hostage, right? and you can threaten to shut down dha as you want but that's what the democrats want. shut down i.c.e., the border patrol, they're not supportive

of the mission anyways. the funding from the senate is going to come through the senate appropriation committee, but i have serious doubts that the house appropriation committee is going to come up with the funding. a especially now since the dhs is going to be under a democrat in california. rather than doing their job, closing loopholes, they're going to starve immigration funding which meenls i.c.e. can't buy enough beds, we're back to catch and release and they're not going to fund the border wall by the level needed. >> the democrats of 201 2018 art the democrats of 2004, not even the democrats of 2014. this is a letter from senator dianne feinstein to barack obama in 2014 arguing. she wrote this in a 2014 letter to obama. saying it therefore appears that no legislation is necessary to

it started a bit off of schedule as they waited on vladimir putin to show up but he got there and the ceremony started. we heard from high school students reading liters from soldiers at the time on the armistice day including an american soldier who said i wouldn't want to be in any other place right now talking about french girls coming up kissing him in the street. we heard from president macron, it's a speech, a strong one. one line being picked up quite frequenfrequently, nationalism a betrayal of patriotism. there's a bit of debate about that one. it was wrapped up by a cease fire of a bugle playing on the 11th day, 11th month of the 11th hour when the armistice was signed. president trump goes on to an american military cemetery a

mile outside of paris this afternoon. 1500 soldiers buried there. also some from world war ii. he will be giving comments, a bit of a veterans day message. but right now in the coming minutes the leaders will be gathering at the residence of the french president for maybe a little bit of schmoozing and remembering. >> we'll be getting back to you in paris, back there live because president trump will be making remarks in just about two hours from now. we'll see how the schedule holds. but greg alluded to the fact that it appears that president macron took a swipe at president trump by attacking the concept of nationalism and it appeared to be going after president trump's america first policies. remember they had a somewhat frosty one-on-one meeting yesterday about the idea of

principles that's what nationalism can be about. i think that macron is taking a swipe at his far right opponents. but there's an irony here when we're commemorating the 100 anniversary of the end of world war i when the united states for the first of two times in the century intervened to protect europe's integrity he would make these remarks but i think it's for his political reasons. >> when you think of all of the blaithebrave americans who saved europe, world war i and world ware i, the day, it's offensive for him to say it. ep the bilateral meeting that the two leaders had, yes i was frosty but as i read news reports yor night, no friends of donald trump, saying they memberedded it in the meeting and that macron made comments

saying i understand president trump wants us to pick up more of the share of nato and other parts of the alliance. as if he's along for the ride and showing respect. and then he gives the speech the next morning, next afternoon and comes after president trump. it's sort of talking out of both sides of his mouth. >> you alluded to the guys that gave so much in the continent of europe. i don't know if we can show the picture of the rain falling own these leaders. put yourself 120 100 years ago o the guys in the trenches, rain is falling on them they have the german army in front of them willing to fight to defend that continent. i wonder whether, besides president trump and his rebuilding of the military, i wonder in a single one of those leaders has the guts to be remotely close to the american gi who is willing to fight for that continent. you want to talk about nationalism, it means believing in your nation. believing in your values.

they use the word erase. they've erased the borders, erasing their cultural identity, language and erased their militaries by gutting them. a lot of the european countries continue live in history but they have the gal to stand at a podium in front of an american mtpresident saying that our nationalism isn't patriotic, believing you should pay up for nato. it is a total affront. i know the president will see it that way as well. we'll see what he has to say. >> america also saved the world by intervene in europe. >> great point. we've got a lot of news. all eye this morning here at home are on florida as we officially head for a ballot recount in the highly watched senate and geu gubernatorial ra. >> our own griff is there are

how long the count could take. reporter: it's going to take a while. let me let you look at the front door of the election office in broward coun county. the lawyers were the governor, the senator and culture commission under way. but we have a camera now inside and what you're looking at is the calibration of the machines. this is a machine recount. they're going through an accuracy process. after they get that down they will begin the machine recount. the next deadline is thursday, november 15th when the second unofficial returns are due. if any of the results met the threshold of a quarter of a percentage point you go to a hand recount. they count by hand the under and over votes. we can talk about that later. but at the center of what's happening here is the supervisor of elections, dr. brenda snipes. there have been errors and issues in the last election,

2016. we asked the voters if they're worried about brenda snipes. take a listen. >> mistakes can happen. brenda snipes' staff made an aerounfortunately it but brenda snipes right now is baring the blame. >> where do you just find these ballots. and the deadlines. what about the law. florida law. are they following florida law? reporter: now in talking off camera for all of the campaigns, they said they're gearing up for a real fight. november 20th is the deadline when the commission should be meeting to certify the results but there's a lot that could happen between now and then guys. >> thank you. >> griff, thank you. right now the senate race out west in arizona remains undecided. the gop suing the make sure that every single vote is counted. and attorney is there to weigh in next. meet the modern warriors.

four of the american heroes are here to share what veterans day means to them. coming up.

. well we've been talking about florida. arizona important as well. the vote tallry continues this morning in that senate race. the democrat with a slight lead over mcsally. but there are 264,000 ballots that have yet to be counted. the dwothe gop filing and settla lawsuit making that that all ballots are verified guaranteeing that every vote is counted. here to weigh in, election law attorney and former mayo maricoa

county prosecutor. good morning. >> thank you. >> let's start with something that people whether are waking up saying how in the world are there 264,000 ballots that have not been counted days after the election. >> it's always a question here in arizona after a close election why it takes so long. the reason is may-in ballots, every single signature has to be compared to the voters signature on file to verify that the voter did in fact cast the ballot. >> what about what is happening in rural counties. the court action i mentioned, it seems that the republicans were trying to stop the democrats that did not want the rural votes to be counts but they knew that was going to help the republican mcsally. >> absolutely. in the two most populous counties that voted for cinema, those counties were giving

voters over eight days essentially to come back and verify it was their signature if the county has had a question. there other counties have not done that traditionally. the republican party filed a lawsuit and said they should and the democrats intervened and said no, those votes should not be counted. >> i thought democrats have the chant of every vote should count. so it's every vote that should count that may help nem i them e senate battle. >> every area that votes democrat should be counted and every other vote should be discarded. they're not concerned with counting votes, they're concerned with counting their votes. >> one of the election officials involved in overseeing the senate race was involved in representing a ring leader in the fast and furious scandal that we know so much about. could that possibly be true?

>> adrian was sort of a garden variety criminal defense lawyer. he's been very partisan, participated in an anti-trump rally right after the president got inaugurated and actually spoke after it. unfortunately it he's shown in the past that short of the legal requirements should not be abimpedimenanimped nlt to his gl impediment to getting people on the registration rules. >> my understanding is the majority of the ballots out there to be counted are, as i alooeded to earlier from maricopa county. and it seems to me that early on many of those ballots have been trending, the ones that have been counted toward cinema, the democrat. and the democratic camp seems confident that it's going to be hard for mcsally to catch up. can you confirm that or if you

want to challenge that narrative, feel free. >> the thing about it is maricopa county, when the votes were counted on election day, it was narrow. i think cinema had an 8,000-vote margin and that's about 1%. so since what we call in arizona with the late early ballots have been tallied up, cinema has had a much larger advantage. and i think that that is -- that trend is going to be difficult to hold for se cinema. if you do the mat math, i think there are more mcsally votes out there because cinema has piled up an advantage that snot consistent with voting on election day. we'll have to see how the votes are counted. >> we appreciate it. >> sure. >> thanks for coming in. obviously a big race. this has been a republican seat. we'll see if it flips democrat.

♪ ♪ [playing of marine song] >> -- army band performing the marine hymn honoring our heroes

on this veterans day, my friend fred griffey, marine, has invited me to the marine commandant's residency in washington, d.c. every summer they've they see parades, they welcome in veterans, honor various people. katie: it's great during the summertime, too, on the national mall they have a lot of the military bands playing friday, thursday nig.ts pete: the marines had the twofer yesterday the marine corps birthday, veterans day today, we honor them both days as well. speaking of marines we had a marine, two s.e.a.l.s and a soldier with us to talk about veterans day, a really special opportunity. we got a chance to talk about medal of honor recipient dakota meyer, lone survivor marcus latrell mark, sean parnell, 85% of his platoon was wounded. on this veterans day we thought who better to talk to of the spirit of this day than that four. they sat down with us. listen to this.

>> i'm a infantry rifle platoon leader. >> in charge of hunting down taliban insurgents. >> 16 months later the platoon killed over 350 insurgents without causing one civilian death. >> i joined because of september 11th, like so many other americans. >> the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden. >> i hear him say osama bin laden and then i look at osama bin laden. and i literally wonder how in the world did i get here from butte, montana. >> he risked his life running through back and forth through enemy gunfire to recover the remains of his fallen comrades. >> that's how it is. you know, that's your brothers. >> because of your honor, 36 men are alive today. because of your courage, four fallen american heroes came home home. >> going in with a four-man tea. >> was the only navy s.e.a.l. to make it out of that horrible ambush in afghanistan in 2005, one that claimed the lives of three of his comrades and left him seriously injured. >> i think the hardest thing

about being a veteran is when i close my eyes at night and still see my friends out there on the battlefield still fighting the enemy and i can't be out there to do it. pete: wow. they are america's heroes and modern-day warriors. it's amazing to have all of them here on set, for fox & friends, on this. sean pattern, veteran of 485 days of sustained and fierce fighting along the afghan-paulk stan deal, rob o'neil who killed osama bin laden, and marcus latrell retired navy s.e.a.l., author of lone survivor. thank you all for being here on this day. i think veterans day is a day to stick to the basics, you know, why we serve, what it's all about. marcus, when you reflect on this day generations of people who have worn cloth of our country, what comes to mind for you? >> it's a over you're familiar with. you smash all the fresh respond responders uniforms together and you get camouflage.

it's one family, upper class, lower class, middle class, and american warrior class. i remember before you got in uniform you hear everything and you think you understand it but you don't and you get in there especially in a war fight era, it bonds all of us together in a certain way where we're connected through every ounce of ground that we had to cover. because it's crazy 'cause what we can accomplish when we're accomplish, we get out of the military they separate us and we go back home. that always blew my mind. veterans day is kind of one of those days where you look up in the sky and you yell across the line at your friends, say, hey, man we're still a team, we're still here together, we're on a different edge of the fi.ld pete: how do you keep that team together? is veterans day a part of it? pete: veterans day is a part of it, we all came from somewhere, we're all part of a team forever forever. what we get is these are normal people with normal -- trying to live normal lives. 'cause sometimes can't afford their own mortgage, mow their own lawn and in our case sometimes 18 hours later you're

jumping into the indian ocean normal people doing incredible stuff, not because of the individuals, because of the time itself. that's what everyone gets, usually the simplest answer is the answer and you can do it as a time. pete: dakota? >> to me you veterans day is a time to reflect back and like marcus said, touch base with everybody and remember, you know what you did for the country ; right? it's not really about us. it's about being able to serve this condition. i reflect it on it and people thank me for my service. and i feel like i owe it to the nation to thank them. like they gave me the opportunity, i had the opportunity to get to serve the greatest country on the face of the planet. i mean, like, americans provided me the chance to go out and represent them and across the world. and it's like they let me wear the nation's cloth. you know, to me it's a time that i like to reflect and like thank everybody else for letting me be a veteran, letting me serve this great nation. pete: sean, you served over a year and a half in combat duty,

which would have encompass a veterans day. do you think about it when you're in the field? >> you do all the time. the military is interesting, because they train you to shoot, move, and communicate together as a team in garrison, and then you go to combat and you fight, bleed, and sometimes die together as a team. then you come home and everybody goes their separate ways, retiring or pcs-ing or moving to different duties. marcus, to your point, veterans day is a time to think about those men and women that you serve with on the battlefield, some of whom didn't make it home home. and not only the people i was with or the people we're all with but the people that came before us and every generation of warrior because real we're standing on the shoulders of giants and to your point, dakota it is an honor and privilege to wear the cloth of that country and wear that flag on your shoulder. i think what makes the u.s. military special is when you have that flag on your shoulder and the might and the power of the u.s. military at your back, you can truly accomplish anything. and so it was just a privilege to be able to serve and bleed on

the battlefield with so many great americans from so many different backgrounds. pete: every generation of warriors faces different challenges when they come home. for the post-9/11 group, for the younger guys, 'cause we all expect what previous generations did, if not more than what they did, you look at their wars and say i wouldn't have wanted to face that one. what challenges do younger vets face? >> i think the transition piece out of the military is the thing that we're seeing as probably the hardest part of it ; right? i mean, the number one piece is you're leaving everything that you know, the community, you're leaving the people who get you and understand you and understand what you've gone through, and then you go back into, you know, kind of back into this world that we fought for ; right? and, you know, so i think that's part of it, of trying to figure out where you can go and find. and it's not that we can't do it it. it's not -- it's none of that. it's the fact that we as veterans, we have to go find that purpose because that's what drives us, that "why" in us is the same thing that we have to find the same "why" that would

make us go through the gets a of hell overseas. the same thing over here. we have to have that "why" and that purpose that we believe in and i think that's one of the biggest factors. >> the transition is tough because if you think about it the percentage of people who serve only .4% of people serve the country during the longest period of war in our nation's history so when guys come home and they take off the uniform and they try to transition to civilian life, oftentimes you can feel like an exile in your own country because i think that the people that benefit from, you know, the people that enjoy freedom in this country have never been farther away from the people who protect it. and so, you know, and the perception to me, the perception makes it hard. i mean, like i am not a victim; i'm a volunteer. the war didn't break me, you know. the perception of veterans sometimes can make it hard, like somehow we're broken by the war. but, no, i'm not broken by my experience. i'm empowered by it and i think it's part of my job to educate americans on what my men went through over there.

pete: you wrote a book about it, "outlaw platoon." i would by pride call every one of heroes, but i've heard each one of you say, don't call me hero, this is what i wanted to do, i did it the way i wanted to to. but you all eagerly embrace enthusiastically the title warrior. sean, dakota, rob, marcus, four great guys, four heroes, four warriors, and if you want to hear more of this again fox & friends eight p.m., modern warriors. an hour long the voter fraud special. pete: it was amazing to sit down with those guys. if you want to hear the extended uncut version of this conversation as well as tonight tonight's special it's going to be on fox nation. ed: what is the extended part? pete: no, there's an extended- extended-extended cut. if you become a founding nation we will do understand $5 of your subscription to folds of honor, which helps fallen and wounded warriors. ed: can't wait to watch the whole thing. the florida and arizona

evidence that shows that my election results were probably capped at about 5% which is really ludicrous considering a republican poll had he is neck and necessary with wasserman schultz in the home stretch and we're both in the thirties. now, this suggests this artificial cap suggests that the supervisor was being vindictive, a gross overreach trying to punish me for bringing a lawsuit and winning and showing that she she'd actually committed felonies. katie: mr. kenova, that same supervisor is still in charge today and in charge of the recount now that's going down in broward county. are you concerned about the results being, you know, manipulated in this case? >> i think everyone should be concerned about the results coming out of broward county. i call them -- called on the governor that fired the supervisor many months ago. he has the constitutional authority to do so and he should proceed to do so. governor scott, you should not be acting as a senate candidate right now. you should be serving as a

governor and fulfilling your obligations. that's my message to the gov. but when you look at the numbers in my race and many others they just don't add up literally. you can add up absentee ballots, provisional ballots, early voting, and voting day, that might be zero plus zero plus zero plus zero equals 26. tim, i'm not kidding you. this is a supervisor's own statistics show that there was some kind of manipulation or hack, not just in my race but we're talking about city commissioner races, races all over broward county. pete: pardon me. we've got a lot of breaking news this morning so a little less time. got about 15 seconds. what needs to happen for people to feel like this is honest and transparent? >> well, the supervisor needs to be removed. i've got to say that i've been one person fighting against a big machine. this is abusive, corrupt government. i've put my entire life savings into it and i'm fighting a government that has unlimited resources. we need folks -- we're appealing to the american to help us to go to timkenova.com.

we'd like to raise money to erase our debt to keep fighting this corrupt, abusive government government. this is just not right that candidates like me get drained by a government that has unlimited resources and that can manipulate results the way we see them being manipulated in this race. katie: we're sorry to cut you a little short this morning, tim kenova, you have a new op-ed in the sun-sentinel that people can check out for more on your perspective. thank you. >> thank you. katie: this ford f-150 has traveled across the country and now it's making a final stop on the fox square before going home with a deserving veteran. live up next. moving? that's harder now because of psoriatic arthritis. but you're still moved by moments like this. don't let psoriatic arthritis take them away.

ed: a very wonderful veterans day. thanks for the 78th army band performing anchors aweigh. pete: ed, it's not tv anchors a aweigh. we're thankful the u.s. navy, all those have served, playing all the service songs on today, november 11th, also covering the events in paris today as they mark the hundredth anniversary of the end of world war i. of course it was the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month that ended that horrific war. ultimately on veterans day we honor all those who served today today. keep e-mailing your photos, friends@foxnews.com. ed: we always tease you, but thank you for your service, pete pete. pete: appreciate.it katie: we wanted your photos and you sent them in deborah sends this one of 94-year-old bobby pi pinter. he received the purple heart for his service on the pacific and

european fronts in world war ii. ed: and here is a beautiful one from judith of her father, archie mcclellan. he served as a marine in world war ii. pete: yummy sea rats there. and betty in north carolina sends this one of her grandfather, corporal william bu burtsessams who served in the u.s. army in france in world war i . katie: i love those photos. reminds me of the veterans in our own families, my grandfather served in world war ii, other grandfather in the korean war. pete: it's a cliché, but freedom not free. katie: absolutely. so important to remember. pete: all those guys and gals that gave so much. ed: don't miss pete's special tonight, 8:00 p.m. eastern. pete: modern awares, great sat down with great warriors of this generation. thank you, ed. now to a fox news alert. all eyes are on florida as we officially head for a ballot recount in a highly watched senate and governor's raises

there. ed: that recount process getting underway just in the last hour. it's going on right now live. katie: griff jenkins is live in broward county with how long this could take. griff? >> good morning, guys. going to take a while. after 67 counties in florida are doing machine recounts at this hour. let me show you this, though, because all eyes are on broward county which has a history of being on these stories on election recounts. that is the lawyers and members of the media trying to get inside there. and we have a camera inside right now we can show you. this is what's happening. the logic and accuracy testing. they're doing testing on these machines that will begin the recount within the hour, and that will lead us to the next day deadline, which is thursday, november 15th, when the second unofficial returns are due. if any of those in the governor, senate, or guttural commissioner are under the .25%, quarter percent hand recount is ordered for the overvote and undervotes. now, you've got a very tice race

here, rick scott and bill nelson just under 15,000 votes separate them and then of course in desantis and gillum, that just under 34,000, but all eyes are on the supervisor of elections here, dr. brenda snipes, a lot of history with her, some errors in the 2016. i asked the voters out here yesterday what they think about trusting brenda snipes. here's what they had to say. >> mistakes can help. brenda snipes' staff made an error, unfortunately, but brenda snipes right now is bearing the blame. >> where do you just find these ballots and ? what about the law, florida law? are they following florida law? >> why, now, there are lawyers for desantis, scott, nelson, and gillum inside this precinct as well as all 67 counts but these deadlines as i mentioned thursday, it could float when all of this begins and we start to get challenges from lawyers and also palm beach county, the

other one, which put us sort of in this recount also saying they may not be able to meet that deadline now. so it's a bit of a moving target guys. katie: griff jenkins, down in broward county, flor.da, ed: we cannot guarantee the results but i guarantee you this if there's an insane breaking story griff jenkins will be there for us. pete: he's always th.re katie: president trump is there as well, not in florida, but paying attention to the story. he tweeted, "trying to steal two big elections in florida. we are watching closely." this is after he tweeted last week that law enforcement was looking into it. that's an accusation, stealing election. there's a recount started by the secretary of state. the white house is certainly watching. pete: just a lot of skepticism. even griff in his record talked about moving targets, floating deadlines, so many lawyers down there and challenges -- katie: we still don't know how many votes have been cast. pete: we do right now rick scott is up by around 12 or 13,000 votes, desantis up around 33,000 votes. i will say that someone had noted earlier this morning that

since 2000, no recount has closed a margin of either size in any statewide election at all in this country. ed: and the supervisor of elections in broward has been very slippery about details, transparency, telling reporters and the public very much at all. i just had one of our viewers who's a frequent watcher of the she he emailed me and said can you imagine if your bank operated the way the florida election folks did? there's a truck that came in with some documents, your money went this way, we've got some funds coming in here. katie: check your bank documents in a private vehicle and drove them to the polling place. pete: i heard this morning -- broward county started their recount at 7:00, an hour and 7 minutes ago, but it took 45 minutes to an hour to calibrate their voting man's? what are these, apple iies? technology, people, fairness, absentee ballots, provisional ballots, signatures -- ed: let's count all the legal, legitimate votes, not just " "count all the votes" when

you're making up as you go. katie: they're still finding new ballots 48 hours later, and earlier on the show we talked to be glad blakeman who had a critical role in the 2000 florida recount. he's blasting incompetence in these counties. >> yeah, there are 67 counties in florida. it seems always to come down to broward and palm beach county. the incompetence is rank there. we need to have the same kind of uniform rules whether it's in florida or new york or texas, wherever you are, the rules should be the same and you're going to stop the shenanigans of these local elections officials not following rules and disregarding protocols. they're finding ballots in trunks of cars and hallways of buildings. the confidence of the system, whether it's intentional or otherwise, is not acceptable. ed: yeah, not acceptable. we laugh about it to some extent because it's comical but on the other hand it's a deadly serious business and it is absurd that here we are, in america, 18 years later in florida we still can't get a clear idea of what's

happening. unbelievable. pete: it's about confidence in our system. if you don't believe that your vote is going to count and vote the same as someone else's or not be counteracted by a non noncitizen or an illegal voting, it really erodes and every election becomes a contested election. ed: if you had all these reporters jumping on the president on friday when he made comments similar to that tweet about is it going to be stolen, is there fraud going on, he's charging this with no evidence. no evidence, folks, open your eyes and see what's happening in florida. if you can't prove fraud, okay, you can't prove it's working, either, you can't prove that this is actually a smooth, transparent, honest way of doing it. so let's figure this out. it's unbelievable. katie: while this is a very serious issue, saturday night live tries to bring some laughter to the scene. last night navy s.e.a.l. veteran dan crenshaw who was laughed at last weekend showed up on set with pete davidson, had some things to say. >> i made a joke about

lieutenant commander dan crenshaw dan? dan current show, and on behalf of the show and myself i apologize. >> it would only be fair if you got me back and made fun of a picture of me. >> he looks like martin shorten and the santa claus 3. by the way, one of these people is actually good on snl. seriously. there's a lot of lessons to learn here. not just the left and right can still agree on some things but also this: americans can forgive one another. this is veterans day weekend, which means that it's a good time for every american to connect with a veteran, maybe say thanks for your service, tell a veteran "never forget." when you say "never forget" to a veteran you are implying that as an american you are in it with them, not separated by some imaginary barrier between civilians and veterans but connected together as grateful fellow americans who will never forget the sacrifices made by veterans past and present. ed: interesting because as well, he said "never forget, never

forget our veterans" but also never forget 9/11, dran crenshaw mentioned and referred to pete davidson's father as i understand it lost his life on 9/11. so look, pete davidson made a horrible mistake, a joke gone bad when he was going after this navy s.e.a.l., decorated veteran who lost his eye in war. it seems like he made amends. katie: dan crenshaw deserves a ton of credit for being above it and responding to this with class. he initially said i don't want an apology that doesn't mean anything and get outraged and said look, i try not to offend. i try also not to be offended and i think the way s. n.l. handled it last night, he said as americans we can move on and forgive each other is a really important message as we continue to talk about civility and tone in this coun.ry pete: it was really well done and it was also really funny. katie: yeah, it was funny. ed: saturday night live is not always funny these areas. katie: we didn't even get to the

ariana grande part. pete: played well by both si.es katie: turning now to some of your headlines, we begin with a fox news alert. 25 people are dead as three different wildfires spread across california. the campfire has been deemed the most destructive fire in a state history. it destroyed an entire town, 23 people and more than 100 still missing. in southern california another fire responsible for two deaths and has forced more than 250,000 people to evacuate. the migrant caravan is now pushing north of mexico city as other caravans behind it merge together. the first caravan of central americans is getting closer to the u.s. border while two on its heels just formed into one. a new asylum policy went into effect yesterday. before any caravans reached the u.s. border, the policy denies asylum to anyone entering our country illegally. and the former c.e.o. of starbucks is considering a 2020 run for president. democrat howard schultz is assembling a public relations team to explore the possibility. among those gathered is steve

>> really is. it's just outrageous. but i'll tell you, it just goes to show you what the democrats across the country are willing to do. they want to, i at all costs, even if it is fraudulent ballots provisional ballots that ought not be counted, that are mixed in with good ones. you see what's happening in broward county, you look at illegals potentially voting. folks, that are not united states citizens. we hold our vote to be sacred. we have to protect that vote. it is a right of american citizens. and so i think this is something that needs to really be clarified state by state moving forward. ed: david, we just had democrats telling us for the last two years about russian influence alleged in the 2016 campaign. we can't -- so now noncitizens, though, if they vote in an election, it's okay? >> it's just silly. ed, we have to take this very seriously. there needs to be congressional action. there needs to be statewide action.

the incoming governors of these states where we're seeing this have to take action on their state level, because you look at san francisco, for instance, they allow non-u.s. citizens as do other cities across this country, they allow them to vote in local and state elections. ed: yeah. >> that is not right. it's not the way it is supposed to be. ed: now, dave, i want to be fair fair. mark elias, the democrat lawyer for senator bill nelson clarified and said the lawyer who was present was not someone we had authorized to make such an objection. noncitizens cannot vote in u.s. elections. so to be fair, mark elias tried to clarify that we get that non noncitizens can't vote. and a more junior lawyer apparently had made that case in court, though. >> correct. and i think that's very important for mark elias to have made that statement, and i'm glad that he did. we can all agree, i think, across party lines that at least with mark elias in that statement. but the lawyer who was on the

scene, that was outrageous, and that person needs to be dealt with in the sense of a talking- talking-to by his employer -- ed: and pulled off this effort so not involved in the recount. >> yes. ed: quickly, i've got a minute and i want to get your take on something because you helped run obviously, the 2016 trump campaign. you've got jeff flake who has been no fan of the president now telling politico he wants to see someone, whether it's him, it's ben sasse or someone else challenge the president in the republican primaries. what say you? >> i say good luck. there's no chance, first of all. jeff flake is a failed united states senator who ran supposedly as a conservative. he was somebody who was going to be a new conservative breath of fresh air in washington. he turned out to be nothing more than an establishment stooge. this guy couldn't get reelected in arizona, which is why we have this problem in arizona today. we blame him. and no one is going to be able to lay a glove on this president president. look at his accomplishments -- tax cuts, rebuilding the

military, you name issue, federal judges, supreme court, issue after issue, republicans are happy with this president's performance, and he's going to get reelected overwhelming. ed: bold prediction here from dave bossy. appreciate you coming in. >> thanks, ed. ed: president about to leave a lunch in paris, and sebastian gorka coming up reacting to the french president.

katie: fox news alert. in the last hour president trump arriving to the ilysée palace. pete: he and the first lady are in paris commemorating 100 years since the end of world war i. our own greg pellcot is in pari. >> that's right. the leaders are wrapping up that lunch at the ilysée palace.

president trump arrived there a short a while ago. he was joining some 70 other world leaders. they are marking the 100th anniversary of the end of world war i. the main event he ark de triomph triomphe, the tomb of the unknown shoulder. there was music, a speech by french president macron, perhaps most moving, letters read by high school students coming from soldiers on the very day 100 years ago, including an american talking about how much he loved getting kissed by french girls on the day. it was wrapped up by the playing of the ceasefire bugle. president trump later today will be at an american military cemetery just outside of paris where 1500 soldiers are buried, making up for that remind out visit to another american cemetery yesterday. as for politics quickly, the president had that one-on-one with macron yesterday, a little bit formal. last night with turkish

president erdogan the pull-aside at that dinner with leaders and today possibly a few words with president putin. back to you guys. pete: greg, thank you very much. more to come. we'll bring it to you on this program when it happens. earlier, french president macron took a swipe at president trump. listen. >> patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism. nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism by saying "our interests first. who cares about the others." we erase what a nation holders dearest, what gives it life, what makes it great, and what is essential. it's moral values." >>here to react now, fox news national security strategist and former deputy assistant to president trump, dr. sebastian gorka. good morning. >> good morning, katie. katie: how did you feel about president macron's comments? >> first things first. it's not only veterans weekend. we've got to remember yesterday was the 243rd birthday of the

marine corps; so happy birthday marine corps. i'm outraged. and i think most french people are outraged. when he says these words about the nationalism that motivated the french resistance -- would he say these words about the national that motivated the french resistance that fight in many cases die in the face of the nazi occupation of france? he was standing in front of the arc de triomphe. triumph over what, exactly? people don't die for globalization. they don't die for the united nations. they die for their nation and for their fellow soldier, marine airmen. this is an outrageous, the idea that you're going to worship something outside your nation. mr. macron, look up the word "nationalism" in a dictionary. it says in english or french, " "love of the nation, devotion to your country." how is that a bad thing?

pete: absolutely. what breeds the mentality of a european leader -- when we look at it, we saved you twice and you're going to preach to us about -- at a moment like this, what breeds that mentality? >> the last 70 years of us defending them. european nations, until donald trump arrived, have been un unserious about their defense. i'll give you one metric, pete. the president just increased our defense budget by an increment, just the increase, which is bigger than any nato budget, bigger than france, bigger than germany, bigger than the u.k. they haven't been serious because they were the freeload freeloaders since nato was created in 1949. and it is nations that were the bulwark against totalitarian ideologies, like fascism, like communism, and now, why is he the premier of france?

whose values is he protecting? vanuatu's? it's pathetic, pete. i'm sorry. katie: sebastian, president trump's comments come on the heels of him say before president trump arrived in paris that france and europe may need to develop a european army, not only to fight russia and china but also to go up against the united states of america, and then today he says these comments. what is your reaction to that? >> a european army? i'm quaking in my boots. seriously? how many nations have put a man on the moon? one. us. we have 12 nuclear aircraft carriers. nobody can touch us militarily. i'd be more weird about the other nations of europe. if i were a pole, if i were a brit who's trying to get out of the e.u. and somebody wants to create a european army, to what purpose? to keep me down? to intimidate me as a european nation? they can't touch us. but is this their way to make sure you better behave and follow the globalizing agenda?

not good. katie: well, if they can't even pay their way into nato, i'm not sure how they're going to fund a new army. >> but they'll have really smart uniforms, ka.ie pete: oh, they will, well tailored. katie: fashionable. dr. gorka, thank you for your time. pete: the election controversy in broward county hitting another low. father of one of the parkland shooting victims now outraged because someone registered his daughter's accused killer to vote while he was in jail. the father is live with us coming up next. katie: and a medical miracle. a man's brain tumor vanishes without treatment. now he's crediting his faith in god. he shares his incredible story with us up next. >> tech: at safelite autoglass, we really pride ourselves on making it easy to get your windshield fixed. with safelite, you can see exactly when we'll be there.

never seen this in 20 years working at that jail that this sheriff of broward county let s. s.o.e. employees into the jail to register these. and this kid -- enron knows who this thing is that killed my daughter, and they registered him to vote in july, if you look you know, when he registered it was july, and he murdered my daughter in february. what kills me, too, is my daughter just turned 18, this would have been her first election. and she was robbed from that. and these democrats, this is what they do in brow.rd katie: mr. polack, you have issued a lawsuit against broward county, a wrongful death lawsuit against the sheriff deputy who stood outside the school and did not go in. a judge will decide next month about whether to keep your lawsuit moving forward. what do you expect will happen? >> i expect the judge to rule in our favor. he lied numerous times in testimony, deputy peterson. and i want to hold him

accountable with the rest of broward who's responsible with the people in his training, with the administrators, the school board. you know, there's a lot of failures. and by me having that wrongful death case, it gives me subpoena power within broward county to bring people accountable for the death of my daughter. and that's what i want for my daughter. i want accountability. and it's tough in broward when you have a county run by democrats who don't believe in accountability. and that's what i'm going to get and that's why they're fighting so hard in broward. ed: you probably can't see it but we're showing some really beautiful pictures of you and your daughter together. i cannot even imagine the pain you have felt in recent months, and as you said now reliving it, 'cause of these mistakes made. the gentleman you mentioned, peterson, was on the today show i believe this summer. here's what he said, and i want to give you a chance to react. >> 'cause i know i didn't violate any policy or procedure. i've been with the agency 32 years. i know the policies. i know the procedures. i communicated right on that

scene. i did everything that i felt at the time was appropriate. ed: so i believe you said he's the deputy. we should remind our viewers, the sheriff is sheriff israel who came under incredible criticism and rightly so for mistakes he made as well. how do you react to that sound bite? >> well, deputy peterson, he said he reacted. he reacted -- you're supposed to go into the shots when you hear 'em, not hide behind a cement block wall, you know, when kids are getting murdered inside a building. he knew very well what was going on in that building. he was driven to the building and told that the shooter was inside the building, and he choose not to go in. he got on the radio, not only was he a coward, he prevented the other first responders from going inside the building where they could have saved other kids that were injured laying on the floor bleeding, he prevented that. so not only was he a coward, he also did acts -- i thought it was criminal, too, by preventing those first responders from

going in the building. pete: andrew, just briefly to go back to our first question, the school shooter, do you know whether he actually voted? >> no. they -- they're so incompetent at s.o.e. in broward that they got their ballots late at the prison; so they weren't able to vote. so that's how incompetent the s.o.e. is in broward. pete: so they registered -- ed: just keep the ballots there? >> they didn't get the ballots in time so luckily for us all those criminals -- pete: one time we're happy for a late bal.ot katie: felons aren't voting 'til they serve their time so shouldn't be voting anyway. ed: we're sorry for your loss. >> thank you. katie: turning now to headlines, an 18-year-old girl who is an ms-13 gang member is sentenced to 40 years in prison for torturing a teenaged girl to death. venus romero erhereta admitted

seems, in large part, to racial anxiety not economic anxiety. ed: i want to talk about what i think most people think are racial dog whistles, that he worked on gillum, abrams, not qualified. katie: how long will this election loss continue and is race really to blame? star parker is president of the center for urban renewal and education, and she joins us. star, thank you so much for being here. katie: how is it that democrats took back it is house and yet racism is still ? >> yeah. these progressives stop at nothing. maybe it was progressivism that the people in these rural communities are rejecting. and these comments are demeaning extremely demeaning to blacks, as if african-americans cannot think about policy differences between democrats and republicans. if you look at this midterm election, 11% of black males and 8% of black male females actually voted for republicans. this is an uptick from 2014. so i think that these democrats

are starting to feel it slip away; so they're trying to racially divide us once again. this narrative and this scapegoating, republicanism as racism, has to stop. and these progressives are ethnically dividing this country and especially now that they're seeming to have found some un uncounted votes in black neighborhoods. well, republicans, what they need to do is start targeting their message to these democrat strongholds so that we can widen those margins so that we are not up against this again in 2020. ed: star, to your point we just unveiled here at fox news this really remarkable voter analysis analysis. it really dives deep, and we look at an individual race like the governor's race in florida, ron desantis got 44% of hispanic voters in florida, a really large number, obviously, for a republican candidate for governor, 7% of black voters. and what you heard from don lemon at cnn there, he mentioned gillum, the idea that there were racist dog whistles that brought

down the democratic candidate gillum. how do you react to that kind of talk? >> so angry. when you think about it these ethnic minorities aren't stupid people. what donald trump has been able to do is put the message out there what's really important in this country and so we're starting to see record numbers of ethnics whether they're latino or whether they're black starting to gravitate toward this president, toward republicans to hear more. so the only place the democrats and progressives have to go is to play the race card but this time as you just mentioned it's not working. when 44% are saying, you know what? maybe immigration illegally here is a problem. so let's widen the margins, is my message so that we can go in and break up these democrat strongholds so that they are not now stealing elections because they're too close. katie: star parker, you mentioned 2020 will be right around the corner. we appreciate your insights today. >> thank you. katie: when he's not giving his take on current events, daniel hoffman is cooking with his family. ed: that's right. he's our buddy and his whole family is here serving up some

not to interrupt is the machines that we've heard so much about we're going through a logic and accuracy test and we'll show you that room now there's 10 machines in there, they were running it for the last hour they had a little bit of a glitch but they seem to have worked that out and the official s are reporting that to the canvassing board as they begin their session now. attorneys for the republicans, attorneys for the democrats are very present and in this room actually you will see a representative of either legal side and of course, this all comes as there is very very razor thin margins still the same in the race for senate you have governor scott and nelson separated by less than 15,000 votes statewide and of course di santos leading gillum by less than 34,000 but this is only one of 67 counties across the state that are beginning the machine recount. if on thursday the 15th which is the next deadline for the second unfor returns unofficial returns to come any of the laces have a less than a quarter percent

point it goes to a hand recount and they begin counting by hand the over and under votes and that's what's going on here as we try not to interrupt but this is history yet again in florida 's election process. ed: wow, all right thanks griff. practicing his masters when he covers it. pete: exactly. he had the proper etiquette voice but going on right behind him was the board that the ballots go through the machines and they're counted and some if there's a dispute go in front of the board and the board makes the call whether it's a valid vote or not valid i didn't see those machines firing up right about now. >> katie: looks like it hasn't quite started yet in broward county, but we will see how dr. brenda snipes gets this thing moving along here. ed: they don't seem to be picking up the pace just yet. pete: the count was supposed to start at 7:00 and calibrate the voting machines for 45 minutes because they need an hour to boot up. >> katie: and they still

haven't started yet. pete: there's a lot of concern. the president pointed out yesterday as he's in paris commemorating the 100th anniversary of the end of world war one and we'll bring you coverage of that he tweeted trying to steal two big elections in florida, we are watching closely we know lawyers from both sides have descended recounts have begun for both candidates right now rick scott by up about 13,000 votes and ron desantis up by about 33,000 votes, but automatic recounts have been triggered in both of those races which could take-up wards of another week. >> katie: we've heard justification for the lawyers for andrew gillum who has rescinded his concession to gubernatorial candidate ron desantis who won that election according to him we're hearing now those lawyers for gillum want non-citizen votes to count in this recount. pete: or at least one of the lawyers in the recount. >> katie: on be half of the democrats, on the democrat side, have argued that non-citizen

votes and ballots should be counted as part of this recount process. ed: what really happened is in palm beach county you had a more junior lawyer if you will on the legal team for democratic senator bill nelson saying look we've got to count all of the votes and suggested that includes non-citizens in the state of florida which is obviously absurd and it also violates the law, so thankfully at least, the lead lawyer in the case whose taken a lot of fire, mark elias, because remember he was also involved in purchasing the dossier from fusion gps and the separate matter of the 2016 campaign so he's come under a lot of fire but to his credit in this case, mark elias, the lead lawyer for senator bill nelson the democrat corrected it and said the lawyer who was present was not someone he had authorized to make such an objection, non-citizens cannot vote in u.s. elections. >> katie: oh, really? ed: thankfully he clarified that

non-citizens can vote but i also want to make the point when you show the tweet a moment ago of the president saying and he also made comments at the white house on friday that were similar suggesting they're trying to steal the senate seat, democrats and the governor's seat in florida. you had this predictable reaction from the mainstream media. he's thrown this out there without any evidence. folks open your eyes look at the evidence democratic lawyers are saying non-citizens can vote what more evidence do you need there are problems we can't prove there's fraud but there's problems. >> katie: we have to point out real quickly in broward county brenda snipes still in charge during trial under oath said she knew non-citizens and illegal aliens were voting and did not refer them to law enforcement so when you're talking about a close rate and recount those votes in that argument coming from even if it's a junior lawyer on the democratic side those have consequences. pete: our eyes are in both places we're following the live inside broward county in florida but also following events in paris right now as world dignitaries are leaving the

president's palace. i don't know, maybe i should know it or learn it some day but a lot of dignitaries leading this meeting i believe they are heading to another memorializing event they just had a lunch at the palace and what's important to know is president trump will be speaking in a few moments we will of course go to paris live to hear his remarks. among other things of course he had prepared remashes that the white house had already scrubbed to talk about celebrating the 100th anniversary of the end of world war one the war to end all wars but the key, perhaps this morning and this afternoon there as you see in paris, just after 3:00 p.m., is will he fire back at president macron who at this, what was supposed to be this wonderful come together ceremony in paris a little earlier as you saw on the program, instead became president macron seeming to attack president trump over the issue of nationalism and america first, and suggesting that nationalism by president

trump was sort of overshadowing patriotism, and talked about making things great, seem to be an illusion to make america great again. here is a sound bite from president macron. >> patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism. nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism, by saying our interests first, who cares about the others, we erase what a nation holds dear its, what gives it life, what makes it great and what is essential, it's moral values. >> katie: well dr. sebastian gorka was on the show earlier and he told president macron he should look up the definition of nationalism in the dictionary before lecturing america about what it means. >> would he say these words about the nationalism that motivated the french resistance to fight, and in many cases, die

in the face of the nazi occupation? he was standing in front of the triumph over what exactly? people don't die for globalization. mr. macron, look up the world nationalism in a dictionary. it says in english or french, love of nation, devotion to your country. how is that a bad thing? pete: president trump is going to get a chance in just a few minutes to respond to those remarks. we'll see if he does. he may keep the focus just on memorializing the 100th anniversary of what american men and women did in boots, in trenches in world war one. ed: more than 100,000 americans who died in that. pete: over 100,000 american soldiers went across the atlantic ocean to save france and europe, from communism, from fascism. it's typical european arrogance it really is. so we saved your ass and then you're going to preach to us so really that's how americans look

at this. twice we did and you're going to turn around and preach to us that because we love our country and love our flag and love our military, we love our cops, we love our second amendment, we really believe in the first amendment that somehow, we're the fascist? we're the nationalist? this guy hasn't read a history book, doesn't understand the history and listen, i want to just have this be a day that we remember, but fires a lot of americans up when you watch that you want to have a friendship with these countries who you believe are your allies and theophano turnaround in appoint their finger in your chest and ride up their welfare budgets and they can't defend themselves and open their borders and get rid of their cultural identity and they can't see it right in front of their face and that's what president trump talks about >> katie: dr. gorka making the point that american soldiers don't die for globalism or nationalism and neither do soldiers from other countries they die with the flag on the uniform, whether it's the american, uk, british flag, you die for your country, you don't die for a global it's cause and

yesterday, morgan ortega was on the program and she reminded everybody there are a lot of american men and women buried in europe. and it's important to remember that. pete: and in those remarks, president macron obviously is not giving the full contest when president trump talks about nationalism, he's not talking about the heck with everyone else. he's saying "america first." of course our allies coming to the equation. of course we'll defend france, we're going to work with germany all of these countries in fact that's what president trump did. he sat down with president macron yesterday talking trade, talking defense, talking about nato, but he's making the point that america can't just continue to pay the tab for europe, and it's macron to president trump's face yesterday in that bilateral meeting to say as a bbc and others have been reporting, yes, mr. president, i hear you, macron said then, we have to pick up the pace. we have to pay more and then today he takes it to the

president. pete: it's cowardly he does the radio interview and then when the president talks to him about it right there he gives in a little bit and then he gives a speech made for pay largely domestic audience to make it rock like he's standing up to president trump because macron's approval rating is under water, under 30% and then when he sees the president next he will say well no, i understand where you're coming from and from that perspective it doesn't understand the threats with france right now and the western world. there's a reason why americans voted the way they did in 2016 and a reason why the uk voted for brexit they don't believe global it'ses are serving their interest and we used to believe that europe shared our values and that's why it's not just about our country and the geography. if you don't understand that we lose it and if you look at western europe unfortunately a lot of that is being lost. >> katie: greg palcott is in paris traveling with the president and he is there with the latest on the day's event. greg? reporter: hi, katie, hi, guys.

yes in fact president trump should now be leaving for his last stop of this trip, that'll be at american military cemetery , just outside of paris, where had is scheduled to give some remarks, maybe addressing some of the points that you've been making in the last couple of minutes. this after lunch at the palace, the residence, the office the french president macron, there with about 70 other world leaders there was supposed to be possibly some schmoozing maybe with russian president putin, this follows the main event an also the at the tomb of the unknown soldier, for the french especially from world war i and all of the leaders were there butting russian president putin and others. there was music and a speech by macron that you've been talking about but perhaps most moving was some readings by french high school students of american and other soldiers on the last day

of the war, on november 11, 191a moving one from the americans saying he just loved to be kissed by french girls and there's no other place he would like to be. it wrapped up with the cease fire bugle that was sounded exactly 100 years ago today. again, the american military cemetery which is where president trump will be shortly, we will hear remarks that'll make up a little bit for the missed trip to another american military cemetery yesterday, and the first lady diverged a little bit for a couple of hours she was at a spouse's lunch and there is an anti-trump protest scheduled and some reports coming in there's several thousand there in one part of paris, some reports too of some violent elements that might inter mix. so far so good there's about 10,000 security spread out all over paris, including for all those world leaders including president trump.

back to you guys. ed: greg palkot live in paris and we want to get daniel hoffman of course a fox news contributor you saw him earlier on the program was talking about kind of this battle back and fourth between president macron, president trump, about america first policies. good to see you again daniel. what do you think as we wait for the president to emerge from the palace? president trump and then deliver remarks what do we expect to hear from him? >> you know i think the president has been pretty clear about america first but it doesn't mean america alone. the president has connell:ly emphasized the important roles that our allies play and i wouldn't be the least bit surprise surprised if he goes back to that today and distinguishes between what president macron was wrongly accusing us of and the truth. >> katie: today the president will give a speech as you said coming up shortly. sarah sanders the white house press secretary has released a statement about what he will talk about. she says the president's speech today will focus on honoring the americans who fought and died in world war i and our duty to remember the sacrifices of those

who came before us, so it sounds like hing he will be staying focused mostly on what they are to do there today in paris. i went to school in france when i was a child and even as a young child what struck me was how the french derived their own identity cultural identity and their linguistic i dent the and how much that means to them. that's nationalism. the french are as strong about it as any country in europe so again there's an irony there considering what president macron is saying but again i think he's doing it to speak to his opponents and speak to his own base. pete: you've been informed around the globe and you mentioned france in a lot of leadership positions. do they remember how important that cultural identity is, how important their borders are, their militaries are? has europe forgotten that and therefore they're criticizing it for remembering it and how do they recapture it? >> i think that they have been challenged. resulting from the war in syria and frankly it's something that we've warned former director

john brennan about that the war in syria was going to be a petri dish that was going to cause a migration crisis and that sparked a lot of concerns europe led a lot of refugee and they didn't have the where with all to handle it and they are going back over those in many ways failed policies calling they'll multi laterallism when in fact it really strained their border and strained their internal political and cultural dynamic and that's a tension in europe for sure. ed: a full day of events for the president of united states. we've mentioned he's going to be going to a cemetery. i want to correct something i said earlier in the program where we suggested he was going today to the cemetery he was supposed to go to yesterday. in fact he's going to a different ceremony. >> katie: that was my mistake i apology. i said he's going to the same cemetery he was going to yesterday and it got canceled due to security and rain and he's going to a different

cemetery today after this event is over. ed: we're a team and we want to bear that responsibility and be transparent with our viewers and the white house said the reason why he skipped going yesterday was because of bad weather on social media and other places you've seen a lot of controversy about how the bad weather really should have prevented him from going and i want to add in again we've got these fast moving events and add that benjamin netanyahu the israeli prime minister is emerging from the palace and we expect president trump to emerge in a few moments as well and then he will be delivering remarks and we will of course stay there, live, in paris. i want to dial in ned ryan, a gop strategist who was a speechwriter for president george w. bush. welcome. thanks good to be with you guys. ed: so you've been in a situation like this perhaps where a president is planning to give one speech and has the text for that, but might add that what they call a topper i believe where you might say

president macron said something i'm not too happy about earlier. they may choose diplomatically to not respond or they may choose to top the remarks off with maybe a little bit of push back? >> i certainly hope that they do because macron's comments were a direct challenge to trump 's comments on nationalism saying that nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism. i would say this if i were trump today. nationalism is the epit om eof morality for any national leader it is the priority and responsibility of any national leader to put the interests and security of its citizens in front of any other nation. in fact i would say it is immoral and a betrayal to put other nations interest before its own and in fact is the opposite of patriotism so i would hope that trump takes this issue on head on and arguings that nationalism is the epitome of patriotism and then reminds people this is about america first and last.

we are going to prioritize our interests and that's what every national leader should be doing and to say otherwise, ed, is actually to be dishonest about what they should be doing as a leader of their country. pete: ned, why can't a european leader mike emmanuel macron make a distinction between a fascist who led armies to massacre people and leaders of free nations that put their nation first. why does this immediate rush to conflate the two and treat them like they're the same? >> well they're stuck in this old mindset again anybody that says nationalism has to be a fascist or is actually associat ing with fascists. that's simply not true. you can look through our history , world history, abraham lincoln, ghandi those were all nationalists because they prioritized the interest of their nation first and it's amazing to me when i was listen ing to macron's comments boy, pete it sounded like 1984 freedom of slavery, war at

peace. what a twisted world view in trying to change the actual definition of nationalism. it's kind of bizarre to me when you hear people saying this but again it's a completely different world and they're pushing a different narrative that has nothing to do with our priorities. pete: would emmanuel macron saw he's not putting his country first then instead and if he's not putting france first what is he putting first instead? boy i would argue that this whole globalist mind set again that we saw with the previous administration with obama and now you're seeing a lot with these western european leaders is something that again is just this different mindset, where they are kind of undercutting who they are as a nation. again the whole concept of the european union, macron is calling for a european army, they are who they are as a people and a unique people and pete the argument i've been making a lot on tv recently is we have to embrace who we are as a people, this whole concept of americanism, we are a unique

people, we're unique because we made very explicit choices. i've argued that pete, when we made these choices several hundred years ago to be a self- governing constitutional republic in a age of the right of kings in which we said the law is king not the king is law we made very distinct decisions that have made us a very unique people. we have to embrace that. it doesn't mean that we isolate. it doesn't mean that we don't interact. it just means that we protect who we are. with ehave been the world's greatest hope in regards to giving opportunity to the greatest amount of men and women throughout time. we're not going to abandon that or lose it at the same time. we're not going to isolate from the world. we're just going to prioritize our interest first. >> katie: daniel i want to get back to you with a question about the relationship between president trump and emmanuel macron the president of france. earlier this year president trump had him at the white house in a big state ceremony he welcomed him, they had a seeming ly good relationship they still do, however over the last couple of days, an as we saw yesterday when president trump

sat down with french president, things seemed to be a little bit icy than they have been in the past. >> i think they've having an open dialogue in a very different, they have different exchange of views, and we've talked about nationalism today and the connotations can be positive or negative and the president i think has outlined his view of nationalism protecting our cultural identity and frankly i can tell you from my own experience, we've shared a lot of intelligence with the french that helped effect their integrity we all value that about keeping our citizens safe and the president maybe behind closed doors is making those points to macron as well. ed: they certainly had differences over the iran nuclear deal. >> climate change a whole host of them and that's okay. pete: we're looking now, we continue to look i believe this is -- ed: where the president will be speaking -- pete: in a short moment of time we're waiting for him to come out i believe we're waiting for him to come out of the palace. ed: it won't be that long.

pete: not exactly sure how long it takes to get from there to here but press and dignitaries awaiting the president's remarks , katie said -- >> katie: secretary of state pompeo is now talking to dignitaries he's been in attendance all morning i'm not sure if he was in the meetings with president trump i assume he was to hear from the leaders that were there. they did not have any official meetings together the big question going into this was whether president trump would meet wine on one with russian president vladimir putin. that did not happen but they were at lunch together and sat just a couple chairs down from each other today, at the ceremony. daniel? >> putin kind of is he's a shadow over this whole meeting. i mean, he's the guy whose directing the violation of everybody's territory integrity with the tax and cyber space and information operations. i think that's where president macron would have been better off directing. pete: absolutely so as they mentioned secretary pompeo there

with the crowd awaiting the president coming in and katie mentioned earlier a earl yea statement from white house press secretary sarah sanders says the president will be focusing the bulk of his time on paying tribute and honor to this 100 year anniversary to the end of world war i veterans day here in america and it remains to be seen whether as ed mentioned he will add to his remarks a rebuttal or answer to some of the things that emmanuel macron the president of france said earlier today about nationalism. ed: obviously more than 100,000 american soldiers as we say have lost their lives in world war i, that's part of the reason why there's been this controversy about the president not going to that cemetery yesterday to honor them and again the white house said it was because of weather issues. other leaders despite the weather issues did make it there >> katie: the white house also said it was a security issue and issues with how far away the cemetery was from where the president had to travel, that is also in the past been used by presidential detail to prevent

them from going to events for security reasons. so the secret service has higher security protocols than a number of other countries around the world so those are the reasons that they gave but we'll see what they say. again going back to white house press secretary sarah sanders, saying that the president will focus on the sacrifices that have been made. it marks 100 years today from the end of world war i. we had the big ceremony earlier in paris, commemorating that, french president emmanuel macron dedicated again to the tomb of the unknown soldier, which of course is something that is commemorated all around the world and arlington cemetery, virginia the tomb of the unknown soldier, is guarded 24 hours a day, so we will see the president i'm sure talk more about what she said in terms of sacrifice and the americans role in preventing europe from becoming what emmanuel macron warned against today in his speech. ed: daniel it's interesting you and i were in helsinki when

president trump and president putin met for those dramatic meetings and we talked about it then. i wonder having been through these kinds of diplomatic negotiations how interesting it gets when in public president macron seems to tear into president trump and then they go behind closed doors with a whole bunch of other leaders and have lunch and are supposed to play nice with one another. >> yeah, it's still frankly disconcerting to me because president macron is on his own bully pulpit speaking to the world and there are other lesson s from the first world war one of which frankly is it's the first time that propaganda is actually used on a large scale and that i think would have been an important issue on which to focus, aside from the lives lost which is of course the most important thing, but again, the first time where the nations we're using propaganda, especially in light of today's russian information operations in europe, not to mention the united states. pete: daniel i'm struck as we look at these images in the background and some of the zoom ed up shots you see those white crosses, that cemetery. all of the americans still on

european soil. ned spoke eloquently about american exceptionalism and what makes us different. from your perspective from someone whose been around the world seen other cultures what is it about america that says we'll send our boys to foreign soil and then leave them there to liberate that country that is not even our own for the sake of values? >> i mean, i think this was obviously afterworld war i, but president truman summarized that the truman doctrine was all about supporting those people who were being oppressed including by minorities in their own country and outside influence and that has been a theme in history, and when we committed our young soldiers to defend europe. pete: 100 million total. >> between 1914 and 1945 and we committed our young soldiers there was a nation at war and we

felt rightly so that by defend ing our principles, where they needed to be overseas we were also making our own country safer and that's whetherrer there is an america first element to that but it doesn't mean weep don't support our allies and friends. >> katie: daniel to the point bringing it to the modern age president trump has asked these european countries to contribute more to nato. many on the media and the political aisle have accused him of attacking in that way but the argument can be made this is actually tough love he wants to have a good relationship with europe to work in partnership with them and he needs them to holdup the end of the deal so the russian threat can be on an equal playing field with the u.s. and europe and partnership together. >> right and i think that's absolutely right and what also i think bothered the president was when president macron accused of being a threat to france in cyber space. he lumped us together with china and russia. that couldn't be farther from the truth. a nato mission, a key nato mission is cyber defense. we're in this together so i think that was him miss speaking

again on his bully pulpit and that risks a lot of collateral damage but the president is right aunt wanting to enhance europe's capability and that's the way for them to do it. ed: let's bring ned back in and beyond the back and forth with president macron we want to focus on this important day this important anniversary what else do you think the president should say today as pete notes you've got all of those remarkable american crosses behind where the presidential podium will be where the president of the united states will speak, what kind of message are you expecting today from the president? >> well i would hope that he would hit on the theme of freedom and liberty, one of the basic values of america as a country is we believe that every human being has inherent dignity but a right to be free and as daniel was saying we believe that so much that we are willing to send our young men to fight, to protect that right of all humanity against these threats, that we're willing to sacrifice,

so that other people can be free , that they can experience the lessings of liberty as well so i would hope he would hit that theme because that's again essential to who we are as an american people. i would also want him to remind people again that because we have prioritized our national interest, because we have this economic strength and all of these things we did have the ability not only in world war i, but world war ii to come and rescue the rest of the world when faced with the threat of fascism and world war ii to be able to confront it because we prioritize our interest throughout the decades previous to that, so i would hope that he would hit those themes and remind people there are positive results from us prioritizing our interest and it gives us the ability to be able to come to your assistance when you find yourself in need of it. pete: and ned, there's still a balance to be had obviously you want to be completely respectful to the day just like we do on this program it's veterans day we want to honor vets in every single way keep it away from the politics because service is not able republicans and democrat

s and red and blue but the values of our country but at the same time you're the leader of the free world and commander-in-chief and defender of the forgotten men and women in your country. how do you thread the needle of honoring what you want to do but also standing up for your country in the face of president trump has never really had a problem doing that but threading that needle at a memorial ceremony like this can be difficult. >> well no i think you're right pete . the emphasis has to be on those men that were willing to sacrifice and gave the ultimate in defense not only of their values but also of europe as well. that's the priority. that's the emphasis on that but at the at the same time i think he does need to address what macron said and he needs to slip in a few extra lines i think to put people on notice and put it on the record, no i'm not going to let you say this without me actually definitively answering it so you're absolutely right, pete. he needs to emphasize the sacrifice and the patriotism of those that gave their lives, but i don't hi he needs to let any of that slide what macron said. >> katie: ned, speaking of

patriotism and remembering this day, its been 100 years since world war i ended, there are very few world war ii veterans left we get further away from 9/11 how. now important is it for the president to continue to remind not just america but the world about these sacrifices that have led to our freedoms here today? >> no absolutely, katie. you're right. this is incredible when you think about that generation, my grandfather fought at d-day, he was a landing craft cander at d- day, and i remember sitting with him when i was young about 12 or 13 and him sharing those personal stories of being there in europe, world war ii, d-day and all of the experiences that he had. this is one of the things that i think we have failed to do as a country. we need to be reminding everyone whether it's at the dining room table, whether it's on tv, press , in our education system this is what we need to do these are the sacrifices that have been made and this is why we make our sacrifices and i've

been beating the drum, we need to go back and teach real civics and history and remind people what we have as a country is actually worth fighting for and it's amazing when you think about it katie. we're not that far removed when you think about it in terms of history for world war ii that a young generation of 18, 19, 20, 21-year-olds were willing to go over to a foreign country to the continent of europe and literally give their all because they believed in these values and there's a big question mark in my mind does this young generation today still have that and deep down inside of them i don't think so because we failed to train them and really instill in them the love of country and the values that have made us great. pete: daniel, i want to bring it to you on that question not to make a selfish plug but i wrote a book about this about a speech that teddy roosevelt gave in france in 1910 and it was meant to remind the french audience about the basic values that free people have. you work hard, you're willing to fight, you have values greater

than yourself, you have big families demographics all those things. could a speech like this or a moment like this where president trump is reminding people that nations and surf ins and things like that matter, can france and europe be awoke en to the realities they're facing, can they turn the ties? >> i think this is the time to make that speech. i also wouldn't group all of the europeans together i worked with a lot of the european partners in the military who absolutely understood it and were so appreciative of the sacrifices that the united states have made on their be half, so i wouldn't group them altogether but -- pete: then the political class the elite class in europe. >> some of them for sure and that's why a speech like this would be of great value for them as well as for us. >> katie: well on that point, you know the issue here too is that there are still common enemies russia is a threat to eastern/western europe, but as you've mentioned multiple times they are a cyber threat to the rest of the world especially to america as we have seen.

how do you feel like president trump can make an argument that look despite our differences, despite the comments from the french president over the past few days, we do have things we're working on together, enemies we're fighting together not just maybe not in a common battlefield as we used to do in world war i, but in a cyber warfare moving forward with how the world is going into a new modern age. >> we are serving together and we're spilling blood together with european allies, nato allies and afghanistan, and if i were to be so to suggest what the president might say i think i would highlight that. we're still there on the battlefields together fighting for what we believe in together. pete: daniel hoffman that's true i want to challenge that a little bit though. it is almost exclusively americans and a couple other countries actually engaging in the real fierce combat with the enemy while a lot of other nato countries are safely on base with their flags, their boots are clean and their flags are flying high. it's one thing to be a part of the fight. it's another thing to be a name or a country on a piece of paper how do we change that dynamic so

they are willing to put the skin in the game, that's the point president trump is ic majority ing. you can't just be in the alliance you have to be a part of it. how do you change that? ed: as you answer that let me just say president trump has just left the presidential palace in france and he's en route with his motorcade to that cemetery where he will be speaking in a few moments. >> i think over the course of the last two decades since we've been fighting in afghanistan there are times when our european allies are in the frontlines with us and times where they haven't been and so if i were trying to make the point that we need your skin in the game i'd probably look back at the full time period since september of 2011, to 2001 when we've been fighting together but your point is certainly well taken and where the next conflict is we're going to have to step out together on that but the french look we've got counterterrorism to deal with it's a major issue that draws no boundaries and we must work on that together. the french are working hard in africa, we're working hard with them there and in the middle

east as well. >> katie: i wanted to bring that up we've been focusing a lot on states today countries that are in attendance at this event in france, but you just mentioned it. counterterrorism is a huge part of the modern warfare that we're fighting. we haven't talked much about that today but could you expand on what we are doing with our european partners to fight terrorism, isis has been on the run. you've seen their numbers go down but it's still of course a daily problem. >> you look at the attacks in france and in belgium and the french have quietly gone about targeting those leaders including killing some in syria. they don't highlight it the way we do in our country but they've been doing it and our partnership on counterterrorism couldn't be closer and it needs to be close because we need to share the intelligence and keep our citizens safe it's a collective benefit. ed: if you're just joining us this is a fox news alert the president of the united states has left the presidential palace in paris, as we mark the 100th anniversary of the end of world war i. he's now en route to that

cemetery in frabs where he will deliver remarks in a moment. i want to deal in our own maria bartiromo who has a program obviously live here at the top of the hour on fox news channel, maria i wanted to if you could react to what we heard from president macron earlier who seemed to be taking a direct shot at president trump talking nationalism and what kind of world do we live in where some think that if you put america first say in trade negotiations somehow it's a bad idea, that somehow the american president should not put america first. maria: well i think the whole idea of questioning why a president of the united states would put the united states first is completely bizarre. i mean, who would you expect? the president of the united states to put first, he's the president of the united states, not the president of the world, so i was a little taken aback by macron's comments there particularly since here we are in the 100th anniversary of

world war i, as we celebrate and cherish our incredible veterans, and incredible people who have gone to europe. one of your guests earlier said 100 million of our soldiers that we've committed from the first world war to 1945 to fight for europe, to fight for the freedom of the world led by america so it's just completely bizarre to hear him say that, of course leaders of nations are going to have differences in terms of business, in terms of trade, and in terms of policies regarding taxes and their economic policies but to question why the leader of one country is of course putting that country first just is a head scratcher. i don't understand why nationalism would be a bad thing the word nationalism is basically suggesting that your nation is number one, you're

going to predict your nation and then hopefully a stronger nation is in a better position to help the world. >> katie: maria can you please expand on the economics in terms of the president xiing nato countries to pay more to their own defense and that of course requires that they reprioritize domestically what they're spending their money on. maria: of course and i think that afterworld war i, and then world war ii america saw itself as critical in terms of helping the rest of the world fight the fascism and the communist that we're battling the world and it became common place in helping others in terms of finance, in terms of military equipment, military men and women so here we are 100 years later and when you look at some of the economic policies that the united states agreed to, when much of the

world was under massive pressure , those policies were still in place, when donald trump took office he looked at them and said well guess what china is not emerging any more. you call china an emerging economy well they've got 1.4 billion people and they're in a massive race to be number one in all of the industries that the united states wants to be number one like ai, so he looked at some of these trade deals with regard to china, with regard to europe and said well the circumstances have changed and at this point, given that these are mature economies, then we need to redo these trade deals and so that's what he was looking at to try to make america come to a better place in terms of the money that we're spending and then the imports that we're taking in. that was really the whole reason to relook at these trade deals because they have been in place during a very different time when mesh was trying to lead the help for the rest of the world.

pete: maria we're continuing to monitor live the speech president trump will be giving outside of an american cemetery in france. his remashes should come very very shortly you see the pomp and circumstance that proceeds those remarks so stick around, he will be commemorating the 100th anniversary of world war i , but i want to go back to something you just said maria you mentioned america the strongest country in the world we don't get strong without being a country that believes in profit and business and individual initiative and you also mentioned mature economies. those western european economies some of them are so mature that capitalism is on the way and welfare states are growing did they have the ability to be strong free countries again? maria: well that's exactly right and that's why today while we do celebrate our incredible veterans and what this country has been able to help lead across the world, we also want to make sure the rule of law is in place. it's the reason that it's very concerning to look at what's

going on in florida this morning and this recount with all of these illegal ballots mixed in with absentee ballots. it's the reason that we get concerned when we say well, can we trust the department of justice? or the fbi the way we thought we could, because we believe in the rule of law and that's why i'm going to be speaking with former ag michael mukasey coming up as well as the first time we'll hear from the majority leader kevin mccarthy in an exclusive interview after the mid-term elections as well as someone who wants to become part of the leadership in the democratic party, the common from rhode island. these are very important values that we share in this country and that's why when you see a situation unraveling that is breaking away from the rule of law, the entire country should be concerned. ed: all right, maria bartiromo we've just gotten word this ceremony and the president'ses speech will begin in under 10 minutes i know you have a program to host at the top of the hour, so we want to release you so you get into place for

sunday morning futures, which we never miss on sunday mornings. thank you for joining us. maria: thank you so much have a great day. ed: we'll let you get into place maria: thank you pete for your service to this great country and all of our veterans. ed: all of us second that as well we appreciate that and everyone in our audience watching just to reset you were looking live at the presidential podium where president trump will be in just about five minutes or so, at an american cemetery in france, that has over 1,500 americans buried, over 100,000 americans lost their lives, were killed in battle in service to this country, in service to the cause during world war i over 100,000 killed but there are over 1,500 buried as a understand it in this cemetery where president trump will be delivering his remarks. >> katie: after a long day of meetings with leaders specifically with the president of france, he will have some remarks, sarah sanders says they

will be focused on the sacrifice of the men and behind him in the cemetery as ed says 1,500 americans are buried but i want to bring in daniel hoffman again a cia station chief in a number of countries all over the world just final thoughts before the president comes out to speak. >> what i'm thinking about is how it touches each of us and our families maria was just saying that my grandfather's brother fought in france and my dad and grandfather once recount ed to me the tearful reunion they had when my grandfather's brother returned from france and he had been subjected to the chemical weapon s that were used and didn't live very long afterwards but that's all part of the sacrifice that we made and those members o of my family hadn't but just arrived in the united states decades before, and that's what this country is all about. >> katie: just as a follow-up to that how is it that your family history inspired you? did they inspire you to join the cia and serve our country? >> they absolutely did because that's what freedom of

opportunity was all about for my family who came to this country with nothing and went to public schools my grand father was the first one born in this country on my dads side of the family he went to law school and founded his own law firm and i felt this country was so great to my family that the best way to honor my own family and country was to serve. pete: we'll bring in ned ryan briefly too before the president steps to the podium, former speechwriter for george w. bush. we've been looking at this image for minutes in some ways it reminds me of other times presidents have spoken overseas i'm reminded of ronald regan in june 6 of 1984 his famous speech , it really resonated on the 40th anniversary of d-day and when you write a speech like this meant to commemorate something so big and meaningful in history how do you approach it? >> boy there's just so many big themes, again pete this is just a celebration. i want it to be a celebration of who we are again as a country and the patriotism, how we came to be this great country and the

willingness to come sacrifice. the point i would love trump to make and probably not today but moving forward we chose to be great. greatness is a choice and we chose to be great bias maria said rule of law, our self- governing republic, free markets leading to free people greatness is a choice, we choose to be great we choose not to decline, and inspiring hopefully those listening whether it's obviously the american people but also the european people, to give them a vision for the future and say there are big choices we are confronting as countries but also as a world moving forward. we have to be intentional about the choices that we're making, if we make the right choices, the futures going to be extreme ly bright for all of us but pete, i want them to emphasize obviously those patriotism and all those themes. i've got to tell you post this, i want him to go and go right at merkel. i want him to go right at macron and remind them they need to step up to the plate and challenge them are they really

willing to put their money where their mouth is and right now i don't think they are. >> katie: ned, you talked about the leadership and going and approaching issues together. the vice president, while president trump is on his way to give this speech, vice president pence is off to asia to represent president trump at a number of conferences, as you said making choices. how does the president's global agenda moving forward working against china and a number of issues tie into today? >> boy i've got to tell you, he's exactly right on this, katie and confronting china. china has been very open and honest they intend to replace us as the center of economic power and the world and they have been working on this on a whole wide variety of fronts whether it's obviously on theft, intellectual property, out right theft, i've been writing a lot about what they're doing with data in regards to internet of things platforms, he's absolutely right to could be front them and what we've donald maria made a really good point and i want to emphasize this.

not only did we come and save europe we bailed out their economies by giving them trade deals that favored them and what trump is doing with china is saying no more we're not in this post world war ii era any more, we're in the 21st century we'll play by new rules and play by the rules that i layout you're going to accommodate our interests, and so trump is completely right to be confront ing china because if we're not careful we will regret not could be fronting them and not in the distant future but probably the next 10-15 years so i hope not only does he continue to confront them but gets them to back down because i'm afraid if they don't back down on these trade deals, what the future would look like not only for us but for them as well. ed: you certainly think about the plan as well in terms of investing in and rebuilding europe afterworld war two and not just important, a critical american priority and initiative daniel hoffman, how does the president though, with the america first approach that

we've been talking about and that he's going to defend in this speech, we expect, how do you balance that with the apprehension that some europeans like a president macron have, that that president is going to focus only on american priorit ies at the expense of europe? >> well i think it's always a zero sum game and the president just talked about dropping the tariffs, so that we don't have tariffs and right now we're in negotiations with the europeans on steal and aluminum tariffs. we like to eliminate those tariffs and we need to stand up for our own rights when it comes to trade first and i think that's just part of the negotiation and it's playing out a little bit publicly obviously but that's what happens and i think pete made a good point too about president reagan speaking out forceful it on national security issues and some types it made the europeans uncomfortable. that's okay. >> katie: daniel as a follow-up on the trade issue trade everybody goes to economic s but this administration has repeatedly argued that trade is a national security issue. can you expand on that a little bit? >> well i think for sure it is a national security issue it's about the health of our economy

and there's no doubt that that impacts the resources we have to defend ourselves and so it's absolutely a key element of our national security. pete: daniel also the president made the argument that immigration is not just a security issue. the legal immigration is also an economic issue those similar through the migration crisis you talked about syria, different issues have been facing europe. does europe have its arms around the scope of the problem and do they yet see a wave of refugees and illegal immigrants that they don't know who they are? do they see that yet as a key problem when it comes to counterterrorism, the economy, everything else there? >> i don't think they saw it when it was happening. i think they for sure understand now what it means. syria was a petri dish that grew a whole lot of threats including individuals who have traveled syria back to europe now and represented -- ed: you're looking live at the motorcade of the president of the united states, president trump has now finally arrived at the cemetery in france, his remarks of course will start in just a moment or so.

pete: yeah, you wonder looking at the time line this morning of events, this event was supposed to start at about 3:15 p.m. local time, and now 3:54 p.m. local time. 9:54 on the east coast. ed: he left the palace a little bit later than expected wondering if he had a moment or two with president macron. pete: precisely so it's all speculation from our perspective but they're running about 40 minutes behind which usually the president isn't running that far behind. and usually with formal ceremony they want to keep it on time as well so again, speculation from our perspective but a lot of events happening behind the scenes that we'll learn about later on and there could be some response to public remarks from the president of france as well. >> katie: pretty amazing to watch president trump's motorcade going by those american graves again there are 1,500 americans buried in this cemetery he will be addressing the leaders there who he had meetings with earlier today. he did tweet on his way to his

speech, he said thank you to emmanuel macron of france and he talked about how they are en route now to give this speech and to give these remarks. pete: it appears, at first glance it appears like we've got members of our military along with those lining the route there as well prepared to greet this president, speaking in front of as you said katie 1,500 brave americans who gave their lives on that soil. he'll be speaking to that legacy as well as america's leadership. ed: interesting katie mentioned the tweet where the president seems to take the high road with president macron saying "many world leaders in attendance thank you to emmanuel macron president of france now off to the american cemetery to make a speech in honor of our great heros and then back to the usa." the president delivering these remarks and heading home to america. pete: that was a tweet from moments ago. ed: as he was heading we believe in the motorcade because he came out in the last few moments where he thanks president macron so we'll see maybe he decides to take the high road, maybe in a tweet later today or in the hours ahead, have a chance to

respond. obviously, he also wants to focus on those brave american heros who were buried at the cemetery and not just get into a tit for tat. pete: and in looking at the uniforms the familiar caps it looks even like a boy scout uniform there or something like it, most a lot of americans in attendance at this speech a lot of folks with an expectation that 100 years later the legacy is focused on almost exclusively so ed to your point we don't know but there's a possibility the speech is purely about memorializing 100 years, there will be plenty of other opportunities to litigate things like nationalism and mesh's role in the world but as with this president always predictable. >> katie: moments from now we'll see president trump step on to the carpet and walk to the podium. daniel hoffman any closing remarks? >> i just think there's so many historical lessons learned from this war, aside from the one i mentioned about the use of propaganda. the war was almost an accident the way it began with the

assassination and one of the key lessons learned i think is that we need to exhaust diplomacy before we turn to military action. maybe it's another theme discussed today. >> absolutely i'm not realizing those flags a lot of them have symbols of different army, marine corps, air force and navy divisions squadrons and others so very american ceremony here with our partners in france, welcoming a commander-in-chief to i believe and i could be wrong, forgive me, but i believe a lot of these cemeteries are sovreign american soil as well so welcoming a president to american soil in france to address this. ed: i've been to the cemetery in normandy where so many americans, brave americans are buried dating back to world war ii and d-day, and it is solemn sacred ground, indeed. maintained as you say by american officials being american soil there in europe. wonderful tribute to so many brave americans who gave and

paid the ultimate sacrifice for this country and for the entire world. we're just about a minute or so in our coverage we'll be handing it off to maria bartiromo at the top of the hour we'll of course be sticking with the president once he starts speaking. pete: you look at everyone is wearing wet suits or what are those called? >> katie: ponchos. pete: but put yourself 100 years back those guys in the trenches wearing nothing but upon . ponchos, cold, afraid, thousands of miles from home against a vicious germany enemy and they don't know if they are coming home at all ultimately willing to do that for the cause of freedom and that's kept our country free for so long making ceremonies like this a lot more than flags but about freedom and legacy. katie: again you're looking where we will see the president shortly walking up to give his remarks in front of all of these crosses there are 1,500 americans. ed: general kelly there. >> katie: sarah sanders press secretary now i'm sure we'll see the president shortly behind them as we await his remarks in

france. ed: so we'll be covering a lot of stories throughout the day what's happening in florida of course but what the president is doing there in paris maria bartiromo will be picking up the coverage at the top of the hour we appreciate you joining all of us on this solemn occasion, not just recognizing veterans day here at home thanks for joining us. pete: maria over to you. maria: good sunday morning, everyone. thanks so much for joinings awes we honor all of our veterans on this day thank you for your service to our great country. president trump just arrived at the american cemetery we'll get back to the president's speech momentarily and meanwhile house republicans chasing a new reality in january when they shift to the minority my first guest this morning hopes to lead the party but he will face a challenge from ohio congressman jim jordan. joining me is house majority leader kevin mccarthy in this exclusive first time we've heard from you congressman since the mid-le
