♪ ♪ ♪ celebrate good times ♪ come on ♪ let's celebrate ♪ celebrate. pete: welcome to this saturday edition of "fox & friends." it is a special one because it's official. we are celebrating congratulations jedediah bela for being officially named "fox & friends weekend" co-host. so excited. griff: couldn't have gone to a better person. great show. i say to everybody it

sharpens your skills so much. four hours of live television will kick you right into gear. jedediah: learn to roll with the punches. it's good stuff. griff: also the funnest show on television. we have some segments catering to dogs which is a special place in my heart as well. we both spoil our dogs with dogs and restaurant food. you are requesting to like this. pete: one other thing, our green room producer i have a gift for you. it's a peace offering. i give the things i love the most. i was at goolee's grill they have a thing called scrapel. bacon and pork lion and they fry it i know griff you will have some. jedediah: are you going to do this. jedediah: i feel like that commercial back in the 1970s and 1980s, mikey. give it to him. pete: tastes like grease. >> i'm givings u. the things

that are special to me. we have a health food segment for you today. pete: thank you, i appreciate that. it's like when you give your wife the gift or significant other the gift you want the most. jedediah: you started enjoying it. griff: i' m going to give you the greatest economy in modern history. >> which one do you want? >> there it is 3.2% economic growth january through march. the question really is going to be for the next foreseeable future can anything stop this economy? pete: that's a g.d.p. number that remember former president barack obama said he would need a magic wand to revive this economy. ultimately it wasn't coming back this way. president trump said it would be 3 or 4 or 5. here we are first three months of the year. jedediah: magic wand: s&p

500 and nasdaq closed friday at record highs. s&p 500 up .47% and dow up. starting to look at these numbers and wondering how democrats are going to run against an economy that is soaring. that's why when you saw joe biden's video oh trump is bad. yeah, yeah. trump is bad. racist, you know, next it's sexist and doesn't like just throwing words out because it's very difficult to run against it when people have more money in their pockets and stocks are doing well and they are feeling good about their lives and families and their ability to go send their kids to summer camp. griff: how the media mr. play they do mention it above the fold economy surges in first quarter as angst debates. first sentence of this article reports of economic expansions appear to have been greatly exaggerated.

pete: "new york times" way more pessimistic basically decently good. can't even give it to him on a number like this. griff: white house is making none of it. this is a quote from the white house economic advisors we have seen the investment of g.d.p. growth in 2019 that the economy continues to outperform expectations in their final long-term forecast before the november 2016 election. the federal open market committee on average predicted four quarter real g.d.p. growth in 2017, 2018, and 20192.2 and 2.0 and 1.7% respectively. pete: it's a big bird sand witch. relates it is was supposed

to be going down instead of 2.5, 3 and 3.2 that "new york times" headline i was talking about. this is what it was online overcoming doubts u.s. economy finds a way forward. if this were a democratic president they would be yelling about the economic rebound that has been this administration based on the policies they put together. jedediah: the thing is you don't have to yell about it people say talk about the economy. you don't need to talk about the economy, what the economy is doing. you can remind people. the president made some comments yesterday. let's listen to those, president trump on the economy in minneapolis and then we will talk a little bit about it. >> now the hottest anywhere on the planet earth. the g.d.p. is that corrected expectations with the economy growing annual rate of 3.2% in the first quarter. >> and if we kept the same interest rates and quantitative easing that the

previous administration had, that 3.2 would have been much higher than that they haven't hit these numbers in 16 years. jedediah: the point here is yes he is going to bring it up and i think he should to an extent. the real bottom line is when people feel those numbers in their pocketbooks. when they feel it in their 401(k)s. whenever they show up and feel it in their ability to spend more or buy that extra birthday present for their kids or take that annual summer vacation. that's the proof. so, when you are accomplishing economic gains for the country, you don't need to be out there saying it people feel it they say to themselves hold on a second, why why want to choose someone who is going to do the complete opposite of this policy-wise if i'm feeling kind of good ride good t now. pete: right. griff: if you feel the effects why which is deregulation. if you are a small businessman middle america or anywhere in america and

have you benefited from the deregulation that they have ushered in and you know in turn feeling a boost in your ability to grow that business we want to hear from you. pete: i should have taken my money out of bit coin. it's still sitting there. the economy is taking off. joe biden, former vice president announced his campaign in an internet video that was underwhelming to most. then he went on "the view" a show you are familiar with. talked to the ladies on the apology tour get it all out in the beginning. how much we raise in the first 24 hours? a big barometer of viability of candidacy. numbers are out first 24 hours joe biden did outpace any other former democrat with 6.3 million. robert francis owe o'rourke 6.1. feels like the guy mile at school he sprints the first 400 yards and runs out of gas. we will see where that 6.1 goes in the quarter.

bernie 5. he is top of the field fundraising. former vice president sitting on the obama architecture barely outraised bernie sanders in the first day, i don't think that's a good number for him. jedediah: not impressed actually. griff: this is a great number for joe biden because there was a lot of anticipation that people wanted him. and this, of course big money he held his first fundraiser at the home of the guy that runs comcast lobbying shop. you can't jump deeper into the swamp if you will. but it does push back on those who are democrats that want some sensibility to come back. they have no problem with traditional way of fundraising. pete: you are saying he is the establishment. griff: he is stepping in to be not a novelty candidate but mainstream anticipate some centralized thing his

video did what he wanted to do which is go after what he believes is president trump's big weakness and lowest moment in the candidate to beat donald trump. jedediah: joe biden is looking at that number and saying yeah, i'm in the lead but bernie sanders is right on my tail. i don't think he is comfortable with that number. that would be a great number if bernie sanders was down at 4 million maybe. but they are too close for comfort for him. very concerned about the voting base. the democrat voting base with bernie and how -- it's not just about money. hillary clinton had a lot of money and she did win that election. it's not just about money. you really have to have your fixer on the pull pulse of that primary voting base which i happen to think for bernie sanders does well. pete: joe biden could be heading for that quickly. jedediah: guess who is swooning over joe biden? the media. >> former vice president joe

biden just answered the call millions of americans have been begging for. >> the man who has been a senator, a vice president, and a big fan of aviators. >> finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. >> biden is already making the president sweat. >> i thought that message was very thrilling to me and very american. i thought it was great. he is an approachable street corner politician. >> that is joe biden at his best. that is someone who is authentic. >> we penciled you in for january 22021. >> only thing he didn't do was eat scrapel. jedediah: approachable street corner politician. joe biden has same blue color appeal someone else has and that's president trump. they have a very similar way

of talking in a down to earth fashion. trump never got credit. i mean, really it's so transparent right out of the gate. i think they better be careful though. if they choose. if they decide, they are going to decide early on the media who they love and support. i would be very careful about choosing joe biden. pete: if you watched biden video and got thrilled or watched his interview on "the view" where he stumbled and scrambled. there was no apology at all. had this to say about biden. >> bottom line is as far as the media putting their finger on the button for joe biden. we saw it, obviously, with hillary clinton. it simply doesn't work. half the country does not trust the messenger. it's all white noise. the punditry and the predictions mean nothing to the american people. they will decide what happens here from a concise

message when biden needs to establish besides trump is a bad guy. pete: what his message? we don't know that yet. jedediah: what's going to play voters in 5 million running now. also by the way joe concha giving you run for the money did you see that red, white and blue tie? pete: i saw that. griff: is joe the guy to beat? >> jedediah: we begin with this fox news alert. overnight, suicide bombers setting off explosions during a shootout with police as what's being described as suicide vest factory in sri lanka. 15 people dead. six of them are children. police finding isis uniforms and flags inside that house. right now, every home in sri lanka is being raided. 140 militants linked to the group responsible for the easter sunday bombing are still on the run. an indiana man under arrest for throwing his cell phone

on stage as president trump was preparing to speak. you can see the phone flying in the air at the nra convention in indianapolis. the a.p. identifying him as this man. sources telling fox news william rhodes was drunk. it's still unclear whether he intended to harm the president. and the new avengers end game shattering box office records with the biggest opening night in history. this film already pulling in $60 million. it beats the previous record of 57 million set in 2015 by "star wars" the force awakens. on track to make more than $300 million this weekend. and those are your headlines. it looks pretty good. my best friend saw it and said it was amazing. pete: i might see it. jedediah: you should see it super heroes you can't lose with super heroes. the democrats running for

liberal and conservative think tanks have estimated the cost of this program and both say it's over $30 trillion. that's some pretty rosy assumptions like the fact private providers take 40% pay cut if medicare go into place without cutting any of their services. that probably won't be the case. 32 trillion is probably the floor and not the ceiling on the cost of this program. griff griff mattie one thing i have talked to a lot of people still paying college debts. they are concerned about elizabeth warren's debt-free college. others it's appealing. 1.25 trillion over 10 years. what do we need to know about that. >> what you need to know about that no such thing as a free lunch and no such thing as free college. it's not free what elizabeth warren is proposing. of course debt forgiveness what that does is redistributes people who are well-off which we know overwhelmingly are people go to college. the cost of those choices are redistributed to people who are maybe not as well off. interesting to hear that

from elizabeth warren who has to talk about a lot about inequality $1.25 trillion in spending. that's not getting paid by just by the rich. griff: also partnering with another candidate kirsten gillibrand on affordable housing plan. affordable housing. >> 445 billion might seem like a small number comparing to the trillion we are talking about with some of these other programs. remember, when you have a federal program giving out federal checks that doesn't decrease the cost. it just takes it from the people who are receiving that kind of money. renters, high density areas. the people that are supposed to be benefiting from these programs certainly won't have to pay as much out of their own pocket. taxpayers will be subsidizing what will continue to be high rising costs in high density cities. griff: elizabeth warren talking about universal child care 700 billion over 10 years.

what do you say? >> she thinks that state and local will partner with federal governments in order to defray some of these costs as we have seen with that stimulus plan in 2008. there is a lot of strings attached to federal dollars. that means stat localities will be on the hook. griff: thanks for breaking it down for us. we will find out. as you said in the beginning nothing is for free. have a great saturday. >> do you. griff: is he a veteran turned ivy league journalist who helped expose what really happened in benghazi. he has never told his only story until now. jack murphy joins us with heart pounding stories of war like how he was once ambushed by terrorists. that's coming up. are alike, so.

theme of the book aspect riding on to my back. i live up to my name. pete: looking at your experience it's the real deal. you describe it as being part of industrial grade counter-terrorism killing machine whether it was in the rangers. the green berets, you were in the thick of some of the fiercest combat of these wars. you come home and you feel a need to tell a deeper story. >> yeah. absolutely. i think becoming a journalist and even becoming a political science major were ways for me to try to understand my experiences in combat and in war and trying to process what i had been through in the military. it's like a lot of vietnam veterans coming home and getting ph.d.s in eastation east asians studies. pete: what allows you to tell a deeper story real story a journalist in an office can't tell. >> a lot of it is the experiences i had in uniform as a soldier previously. when i go to places like syria or iraq or philippines you get in that kind of

rapport with the people with the actual fighters with the soldiers on the ground. you speak the same language. i think that was very big help for me in reporting. pete: you were smuggled into syria, you mentioned to me right at the beginning of isis as they were growing. what did you see? what are the things in the book could people grab on to? >> i was put into the underground rat mines and smuggled from iraq, northern iraq into syria by the pkk which was an organization that our government considers a terrorist organization. they were very nice to me to make it clear. and then embedded with the ypj militias and spent time with a female sniper unit in syria. it's just an incredible. pete: kurdish area. >> kurdish held syria. pete: matt golsteyn and green beret facing charges. eddy gallagher a navy seal who is facing charges. you know, are we not fully understanding the complexity of combat in some of those

cases how do you deal with that. >> we're not even close to understanding it. as a society we have been deploying soldiers over and over and guys have who have been deployed 12, 15 times. we have to almost nilistic perspective on it that we think we can keep doing this forever and there aren't real human and social repercussions for doing. this we are just at the very beginning of feeling the impact of 17 years of war. pete: is doing this as a journalist part of your journey home? i know when i came back from iraq i went back twice as embedded reporter to the places i had served. did you go back to where you had served also? >> not the exact same places but still back in northern iraq traveling some of the same roads. seeing a lot of the same people. it definitely was a surreal experience. i think we were talking about earlier even after you leave the military, it takes you another how many years to fully transition and realize i'm actually a

civilian now. pete: still might be dealing with it? >> i don't have to do this anymore if i don't want to. pete: what is the biggest thing elite journalists, other media types in this city and elsewhere who write about combat and write about war. what's the biggest thing they miss? >> i think for them the military and military operations all part of a strange subculture for the average journalist. like something they can't penetrate. something very mysterious kept behind closed doors. and i think what this these are actually very human people. they are not super men. they are not dark shadowy figures. they are actually people. this book is about people fighting war. and the whole human experience, the good, the bad, and the ugly. pete: how much did politics get into your war-fighting? my card here says attached political experience. i experienced the same thing. how often does politics get on the battlefield. >> all the time.

intrapolitics between different institutions and structures of the military and of our bureaucracy. but it happens quite often that diplomats, the white house, whoever it is they pass down their policy decisions. something in the book about how obama made the decision for us to withdraw in 2009 from iraq and now all of us on the ground had to paint a much rosier picture of what was happening than what was really happening. pete: the book is murphy's law check it out by jack murphy. he knows what he is writing about. if it can go wrong it usually does in the battlefield. thank you for your service. >> thank you. pete: great book. great stuff. another caravan heading through mexico. how county united states fix the crisis at our border? retired ice director tom homan has the experience and the answer coming up next. four" with a barbershop quartet?

trump's comments there talking about what we need to do? >> i have said all along. i think the wall is a good tool. it's going to help. certainly we need legislative changes to close the loopholes. griff, i will stay again, we need consequence and deterrence. ice needs to get out there and look for family groups they had due process day in court or didn't show up in court. ordered removal. find them, detain them remove them. did i this three and a half years ago and we showed a consequence. we filled several planes of family units. numbers on the border almost immediately dropped. you have got to have a consequence and deterrence. you can't say okay. come and we will give you due process. no one is going to make you leave. pete: you are talking about asylum seekers who ultimately their claim is not found to be a valid one but they don't show up anyway. ultimately find these people in this country illegally? >> yeah. nationwide operation. 88% lose their cases.

88% central america come up and claim asylum lose they do not get released. remove them. do your job. i will come back and do it. it needs to happen. we did it three and a half years ago and it worked. jedediah: tom, trump is taking some heat for the idea of expanding the military presence at the border and he has had to come out and defend that listen border patrol agents are backed up in these processing centers. there are not enough people to actively secure the border and advocate for national security. what is your defense of that policy of sending more military to the border. >> sending more military to the border is a great idea. they can do the support services whether it's building infrastructure, whether it's moving medical supplies and transporting people. the more of the infrastructure work that the military can do releases more border patrol agents that the men and women in green to work the front line rather than doing the backup tasks. it's a great idea.

however, if we want to put more military on the border we have to arm them. what happened last week with the military being accosted by the mexican military we cannot allow that to happen. have you got to arm these soldiers to protect themselves. pete: absolutely. griff: president trump says he wants to get even tougher on this problem. beto o'rourke, one of the 20 2020 hopefuls. immigrants at all, listen. >> the practices under this president, the practices under the last president, where families were broken up, where you had internal enforcement. i think in one year alone in the previous administration, 400,000 deportations from inside the united states, some people who had been here for decades who pose no threat, we don't need those internal roundups and deportations and enforcement. griff: tom, what's wrong with that? >> well, look, he is not a genius. these people came to this

country violating the law. again, if we don't arrest those that violate the law they will keep coming. we talk about separating of families u let's take this caravan for example. when these family groupings come across and they don't leave and they successfully hide out for four or five years now all of a sudden they are immune from law enforcement? if that's the message we are going to send to the rest of the world you will never solve immigration crisis. there has to be consequence. it's illegal. it's a crime to enter the united states illegally. we have to enforce the law. if you don't like what ice does, then change the law. people like gillibrand and harris they would rather abolish the federal law enforcement agency than change a law that they enacted. jedediah: talking point of demonization of ice? is that something that will be successful for them? forget about the fact that it sounds crazy but is that an effective talking point going into 2020 for them to put ice as the enemy? >> no. it isn't. because, look.

that type of talk abolish ice, sanctuary cities, open borders, drivers licenses, free college tuition. this entices people to make this journey. which means more people are going to come being enticed by policies being pushed by the democratic party. i will tell you something else. it's not just about enforcing the law and securing the border. people die entering this country. when these two children died trying to enter the country the democratic leadership needs to look in the mirror because of their failures and policy they enticed people to come which result in 31% of women being raped and children dying. pete: selective enforcement in one place leads to selective convenient enforcement in another place. tom homan, thank you for your time. jedediah: thanks, tom. appreciate it 2020 candidate kamala harris shouldn't be president because she owns a gun? that's according to "u.s.a.

today" op-ed. her words are fine but for a progressive like me they are undermined by that handgun. and i can't be the only one who is disturbed. keeping a handgun for personal safety is a bedrock conservative view. senator harris says she bought a gun to protect herself when she was in california as a prosecutor dealing with dangerous criminals. and prosecutors want the death penalty for a man accused of killing a california sheriff deputy despite the governor's ban on capital punishment. deputy mike was shot and killed last year. accused of opening fire on him as he responded to a call. democratic governor gavin newsom banned the death penalty in california earlier this week. and more than a thousand california college students and staff now quarantined for measles. ucla and cal state university expanding their gawrnl teens by others as they try to prevent the

highly infectious disease from spreading. president trump urging all americans to get vaccinated. >> they have to get the shots. vaccinations so important. this is really going around now. they have to get their shots. jedediah: measles once declared eliminated nationwide has now reached record totals for the 21st century. a 5-year-old boy thrown from a third story balcony at minnesota's mall of america is now alert and conscious. >> jesus saved our son's life and healing him in the most miraculous way. jedediah: his family hoping to have him home by june after a few more surgeries. the stranger accused of throwing him is charged with attempted murder. since the attack two weeks ago a go fund me page for the family has raised more than $1 million. those are your headlines. pete: god bless that little guy. jedediah: that's right. pete: god bless this big guy. rick reichmuth. rick: welcome, jedediah.

>> anywhere on the planet. g.d.p. smashed expectations. >> america's future has never been brighter. >> 3.2% president trump touting the news that the economy is on the ris let's ask

one of the smartest guys i know university of maryland business professor and former chiever economist for the u.s. trade commission peter morici. good morning. happy saturday to you. >> good morning. griff: it's a good day for the economy, no? >> as the truck driver says there is lots of open black in front of us and the economy should do even better in the second quarter. car sales should pick up. home construction pick up. new home sales are moving up very rapidly. now that interest rates are fallen a bit. so i think we are in good shape. pete: peter we thought the so-called experts were predicting doom and gloom for this economy for a while. here is a couple of folks one who writes for the "new york times." the "new york times" economist paul krugman who is often wrong. he said his one major -- 2017 tax cut which he predicted would be rocket fuel for the economy has turned out to be a big fizzle economically and especially politically. at thibut at this point last year's growth is looking

like a brief and rapid fading sugar high. growth rise 3% because the administration policies largely tax cuts and perhaps also regulatory policies fair enough if you believe in tooth fairies and ludicrous supply side economics. turns out the tooth fairy did very well. >> the tooth fairy did very well. what you have is democratic economists. and liberal media chooses to only publish them. they are not looking at trump's policies objectively. not separating the man from the policies. the reality is his policies have done very well. unfortunately this article paints economists with run brush as if we all said that i would point out to you and have you received in your mailbox podesta in the "washington times" and dow jones market watch which publishes the "wall street journal" where i predicted several months ago before it happened that trump's policies would lead to a job boom in 2019. and we have one. not all economists hold these views. but liberals, democratic

aligned economists do. that's hot "new york times" cnbc and others choose to publish. it's a consequence. if you want to learn about economics don't go to those places. [laughter] jedediah: peter, that you do democrats successfully run against numbers like this particularly when you see that the public is now aware that these predictions -- when they feel in their pocketbooks the impact of positive economic growth? when they are opening their small businesses successfully because of deregulation? how do democrats turn around then and say hey, you know what? all of the policies that led to this prosperity, we're going to undo all of that and make that as a talking point. >> they will create a false narrative that things really aren't as good as they look. that all the benefits are going to wall street. and that's simply not true. wages are rising. ordinary people are doing better. people who couldn't find jobs. especially the disadvantaged. for example, handicapped people are finding jobs where they didn't in the past. that's really good news. wages of less skilled

workers are rising pretty rapidly. that's good news. unfortunately, you know, if you live in new york. you get the "new york times." it tells you the world is coming to an end and everybody knows the "new york times" is chiseled in granite. there are really three tablets that moses took off the hill. the one with -- two with 10 commandments and the other one was in the "new york times" tell the world god's word. if you believe the liberal media. if you put on msnbc, and you believe everything they say then all the good news in the world doesn't work. look how they played this you talked about it earlier in your broadcast. griff: peter morici, thank you very much. >> yellow journalism is yellow journalism.

on top of this train in mexico to avoid law enforcement. > jedediah: thought trump administration ramping up security as those migrants move to the u.s. >> gillian turner joins us live. >> before i start congratulations here jed, we all love you here in d.c. really happy to have you. guys, hundreds of migrants hoping to reach the u.s. boarded a freight train from us straited by the mexican government's efforts to slow down their progress toward the u.s. border. the mexican government has been under fire by president trump as he seeks to slash overall immigration into the country both legal and illegal on the u.s. side of the border, the pentagon is preparing to losen existing rules that prohibit u.s. troops from interacting with migrants. according to a pentagon spokesman. the mission at the border for the military will not change but the pentagon tells fox news it will soon sign off on dhs request for 300 to 500 more troops.

mostly support personnel which includes folks like lawyers, cooks, drivers, and medics. the trump administration also making a move to speed up construction of the wall. yesterday dhs issued a waiver for two states along the border that allows the trump team to break existing environmental laws. now, dhs itself has already said the bollard style barriers they claim to build will block the natural migrants omigration of wildlifee ecosystem. something i know pete is very concerned about. pete: of course. thank you, jillian. jedediah: they were talking in my ear. will. jedediah: if they were talking in your ear they were talking in our ear. pete: she was talking about the border. will they loosen some of the rules of engagement. we asked tom homan about seconding military to the border. this is what he had to say.

>> sending more military to the border is a great idea because they can do the support services whether it's building infrastructure. whether it's moving medical supplies. whether transporting people. the more of the infrastructure work that the military can do the men and women in green to work the front line; however, want to put more military on the border we have to arm then. what happened last week by the military being accosted by the mexican. griff: step back one second about the battle at the border and realize there was a time when democrats and large group said there is no crisis. now pretty much everyone agrees we have a problem. and tom is one of the guys that knows this issue better than anyone. he was the former ice director, flight so you had to figure out what to do with people here in this country illegally. the dynamic that changed all of this, when it's

unprecedented is it is family units, women and children that are now jumping these things, making this arduous journey and being killed as he pointed out in the last hour but also the fact that we have nowhere to put them and they have to be dealt with. and as president trump talks about getting a tougher stance it is going to involve not only criticizing ice. not defanging ice as beto o'rourke would like to do but rather giving them more powers and giving the military more powers in terms of engagement to get this under control because otherwise we are headed to as he points out, tom, a very dangerous place. pete: also headed to dock that 2.0 and 3.0. if illegality expands and do you less about it you get more of it. ultimately either you crack down now or change those laws. that's what tom homan was talking about. jedediah: question is what will democrats do. one of those democrats who is front and centered right now who just declared his

candidacy former vice president joe biden who has been doing a lot of interviews now. he is on what some have called apology tour for some of his past behaviors, some of his past comments. he was at my former home base "the view" yesterday, i believe it was, and he was talking about his time in the obama administration saying there wasn't a whisper of scandal during those years. take a listen. we will talk about it? >> i'm inel credibly proud to have served with him. the thing i'm proudest of coincidentally we are each in a different part of the country. and we were each talking to groupings of people that were being televised. same day purely incidentally asked the question what are you proudest of in your administration? and do you know what i said? turns out he said the same thing probably a little more clearly than did i. >> what? >> is that not one single whisper of scandal. >> not one. >> not one. [applause] because of barack.

jedediah: that's interesting no one challenged that with fast and furious and irs targeting conservatives with benghazi. the list go owessen. what about these? i just got a few to throw out. pete: we won't go into the whole list to think your proudest accomplishment is you think you didn't have a scandal that means you didn't do anything proactively. isis grew on your way. the economy didn't recover the way it should have. the military was -- their hands were tied. you talk about benghazi? bird dal swap. how about the scandals going on being uncovered as we talk about investigating the investigators? how about your fbi? how about your justifiable department at the top using surveillance against a political opponent? that's not a scandal? >> eric holder fast and furious. pete: we could spend a half hour on every scandal in the obama administration. he is doing this because he wants to create a narrative where is he contrasting with president trump who he says is a rolling dust wind of scandals. that's his play. and i just don't think that -- is he going to win against the other candidates. jedediah: he gets away with that though because so many

in the media will cover something if it's a trump-related scandal. they did not cover those issues. you hear that audience applause. i have been at that table many times audience applauds. this is because people don't know. people don't have time. people out there who are trying to feed their families. trying to take their kids to day care. they don't have time and be embedded in the news all day long. when they turn on channels and flip through and don't see this stuff reported by and large they don't know what all has happened. he gets away with that. and talk away with a talking point that's completely untrue. griff: you tell me, was this the best place to go and try and paint a revisionist image of a time when things were better? looking back to the obama administration. have you aoc alexandria ocasio-cortez saying i don't want to go back to obama. i want to go forward. pete: get the anita hill stuff get it all out there so you don't have to talk about it.

jedediah: the audience is very receptive when you challenge. if someone were to sit there and challenge that, they will take a listen and say wait, hold on a second and go home. i got many, many emails and texts from people in that audience that said hey thank you to opening my eyes to x, y and z. strategically good move for him but i wish he had been challenged. jedediah: run on economic policy. all those jobs already come back no. clear rationale for the biden candidacy. i'm here guys. i'm 76, trump is 72. 70 is the new 50. yesterday they were battling over 72 and 76 trump and biden, watch. >> i just feel like a young man. i'm so young. i can't believe it i'm the youngest personal -- i am a young vibrant man. i look at joe. i don't know about him. >> if he looks young and vibrant compared to me, i should probably go home. >> the best way to judge me is to watch, see if i have

the energy and the capacity. this is show me business. griff: can they arm wrestle? can we have a nice little arm wrestling competition? jedediah: that would be great. pete: joe is not ready he is not. i'm a young man. is he out there saying i'm doing. this joe's answers are rumbling and meandering. when asked why are you the best democrat to run peter doocy was there another reporter i think from cnn. tell us why you are the best one and i don't think he can explain that right now. jedediah: he doesn't know. i think he doesn't believe he is the best one for this moment because he feels like out of place with the me too movement with the base of the democratic party. and guess who agrees ari fleischer is also saying that it is down hill from here for joe biden. he was on hannity. take a listen. >> i think joe biden's real issue is he a fish out of water in the modern day democratic party. he has such a liberal

contingent that has captured the energy, the hearts, the minds and the souls of so many democrats. the question is can old style, old school more moderate politician like joe biden prevail over all those democrats? my suspicion is joe biden is just going to run out of air like a balloon. you will watch him fly lieu the air with the air gradually coming out. i think he has peaked. highest numbers on the day he entered and down hill from here. pete: i think he is right. email us friends@foxnews.com what do you think about joe biden and perspective candidacy. jedediah: well played. pete: it is national rib day. we are going to have some later on.

they are running to make sure they get to that conference and sit and have that conversation with that teacher. more important than anything to me is that they show up. i don't care if their hair is in rollers. pete: clearly there is a problem she is not doing this because she wants a dress code. revealing top or swim suits for the beach. jedediah: someone wearing a swimsuit to school that's a whole other question. pete: there is a line. pete: obviously we don't all agree here what do you think? friends@foxnews.com. are swim suits for wearing to school or to the beach? jedediah: that's a stretch. we will check some headlines for you now. illegal immigrants accused of beating a baby has been deported five times. the honduran national allegedly hit the 4 month old after discovering he wasn't the father. the 33-year-old living in memphis has several aliases. he now faces murder charges. ice officials have filed a detainer. 177 people are now sick from

tainted ground beef as e.coli outbreak spreads to 10 states. 21 of them have been hospitalized but no deaths have been reported. more than 166,000 pounds of ground beef have been recalled. the cdc is still trying to identify where the outbreak started. two texas teachers springing into action after a student has a seizure in gym class. one sent students to call 911 and get a defibrillator another administered cpr until emts arrived. >> this is the first time i have ever had to administer cpr. i didn't even think about what i was doing. i just did it. jedediah: wow. the student is luckily okay. the dallas school district awarded the two for their bravery as they should. that's amazing. those are your headlines. rick? rick reichmuth? how are you doing? rick: somebody says doing really well francis welcome. >> thank you. rick: check this out. 94th birthday and first time

on television. how does it feel? >> scary. rick: scary? you have had all your life to prepare for this moment? >> right. rick: have you done a great job. happy 94th birthday. glad you are here. we made a very nice weather day for you here. it's not going to be the case across parts of the central plains. chicago getting a little bit of snow throughout the day today and into tomorrow. by tomorrow actually for the most part it's done. across the northeast, mid-atlantic today that storm moving through there will be a few snow showers sorry to say that across the higher elevations of internal areas of the northeast. very nice across the mid-atlantic. probably one ever the nicest days you have had so far down across the southeast. will humidity has dropped. tons of sunshine. here is the snow that you have across parts of the northern plains. great lakes. will area couple degrees cooler than it was yesterday. pushing 100 degrees in phoenix. all right. who knew that there was a thing at the national prime rib day? >> who knew that? we know now. it's national prime rib day.

and we are celebrating with prime rib, of course. >> joining us is chef, executive chef certified angus beef. and if you were here, you would be having just an unbelievable aromatic of prime rib. >> prime rib. >> unlike any other. >> prime rib is the quintessential celebration roast. right? >> yeah. >> it's the one where you think of a party. this is the one you want to bring out. pete: the one i don't know how to make very well. >> so simple. it is intimidating. and intimidating for a reason. it's a big hunk of meat. talk about what this is a prime rib is a standing rib roast. which means. >> same thing? >> what people call a prime rib is a standing rib roast which means the bones are still attached. here is a boneless version of the same rib roast but in boneless form. all you do is this is a prime version. so certified angus beef brand prime. see the marbling in that? that is a ribeye.

so if i took this knife and cut it that way that's a ribeye steak. pete i don't know that. rick: why did they make it so complicated it? >> is a ribeye or ribeye roast. we put this in a roasting pan and roast it that's as simple as it is. salt and pepper. you want to mix it up you add maybe some garlic powder some onion powder and dried herbs. pete: different texture. >> it is a roast. so it was a rosie flavor, right? rick: need the one with the bone for the prime rib. >> a bone attached rib roast is a beautiful display that's what we like to see big bone attached. quick at this point i still have the string attached but i took the back ribs and separated that can you see that? i separatedly the back rip because of the presentation,

look how cool with the bone attached it's a beautiful presentation. pete: jed is looking at the green stuff on the side. >> it absolutely is healthy. it's good fat. jedediah: are you leaving this behind? portion wise? pete: how long do you put something like that? n.? >> great question. we have an app. for that roast perfect. how long i do cook that? this took two and a half hours to roast. high heat about 450 for about 50 minutes. drop it to 325 and continue cooking nice and slow until about internal temperature medium rare. griff: that's why restaurants usually have one day. go to the restaurants and have prime rib you should try. >> leftovers are perfect. if you didn't take all of this home today. i would put that in a package and slice it -- put it on cast iron and fry steak.

griff: which one do you like better? pete: prime rib every day. certified angus beef and prime, too. >> happy birthday, mom. jedediah: awe. pete: florida one step closer to banning sanctuary cities. one lawmaker on the move will join us next. ♪ ♪ -we bought a house in a neighborhood with a lot of other young couples. then we noticed something...strange. oh, could you, uh, make me a burger? -poof -- you're a burger.

churches and luxury hotels several suicide bombers commissioner those attacks. we are still seeing a very high alert situation in sri lanka here there have been loft developments on the ground. at love action by security forces. there were raids in the east on the east coast of the island in sri lanka with that shootout leading to the deaths of 15 people, police and the military are v. confirmed. we understand there was an exchange of fire and it resulted in believed to be suspected islamic militants actually detonating suicide bombs there in that location resulting in these 15 deaths including six children we understand. there are still suspects out there still searches going on in sri lanka. so still this is very much an ongoing situation here. back to you. pete: thank you, rebecca.

jedediah: thank you, rebecca. heading over to you, griff. griff: thank you very much. florida is moving one step closer to sanctuary city. do just that days after the florida house passed a similar measure. pete: little bands on governor desantis desk. a number of differences between the two bills will be ironed out. griff: a republican folder state rep joins now with more. good morning, sir. >> good morning. griff: where are we in this process and how likely is this going to be to pass the senate and the house can work out their differences? >> well, i'm optimistic that it's going to get done. look, we really need to get this done for the people of the state of florida. the senate passed their version. we passed our version. we are awaiting the senate version. we should have that on monday. we're going to look to iron out those differences and hopefully we will have something on the governor's desk by this friday. pete: what will this mean? there are a number, i

believe, a number of sanctuary cities in florida. so if the state bans sanctuary cities, are you going to have a showdown with some of these cities that want to continue the policy? >> well, right now technically, there are no sanctuary cities because they haven't technically adopted the policies. what they are trying to do is they are trying to be real slick about it they are adopting pseudo sanctuary city policies. we have people in power in government like out police chief in miami who is in a position of power although they haven't adopted it -- they haven't adopted a resolution that just refuses to comply with the detainer orders. so, this policy would hopefully stop all of that and get these local municipalities to comply with federal law. griff: you are talking about your legislation would have state, city, and county municipalities all of them helping. i want to show you a map. there is nine states that have enacted laws similar to yours requiring law

enforcement to comply with ice and see them there. alabama, arizona, georgia, iowa, mississippi, missouri, north carolina, tennessee and texas. is the new political environment under governor desantis the reason why you are maybe going to become the tenth? >> well, i think the environment more has to do with the lack of the federal government solving this problem that has been festering for more than 40 years. quite frankly it's because the federal government hasn't fedexed this problem if they would fix this problem we wouldn't have to adopt these anti-sanctuary city policies. we need to do two things. we need to secure our borders and we need to fix a broken legal immigration system. and if that happened, we wouldn't have to take these measures like we are doing in the state of florida. if washington would do its job you wouldn't have to do

it for them. florida state rep, thank you for joining us. >> my pleasure. griff: we will see what happens with that. it's official jed is the new co-host of "fox & friends weekend." up next, we're going to take a look at her journey to the permanency on the curvey couch ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ no matter when you retire, your income doesn't have to. see how lincoln can help ensure you still have income every month of your retirement, guaranteed, at lincolnfinancial.com. it's a revolution in sleep. the sleep number 360 smart bed, from $999, intelligently senses your movement and automatically adjusts to keep you both comfortable. and now, save $400 on select sleep number 360 smart beds. plus free premium delivery when you add a base. ends saturday.

pete: good luck with that maybe we will play that video again on the show. if you missed very cool. jedediah: you guys probably saw the first time we have amazing time on this couch. this is a great place to work and i'm having a blast. having too much fun to call this work. pete: do you know who we need to have back based on the video is the grinch. what's the grinch doing in june or july. let's have him back and what do you do during the summer, grinch? pete: we do have a lot of the fun particularly because of you and we have news. news and politics and one story out there that is leading the political one that is joe biden. he is in it, 2020. his third time. we will see if this is the charm. the story that's grabbing the headlines, guys, is his campaign cash raised in the first 24 hours. joe biden leads. >> washington, d.c. tells us that this is an important number. how much can you raise in the first 24 hours. joe biden seems to be the one who raised the most so

far. beto came out 6.1. bernie 5.9. close to the-million-dollar mark. some disappointed by this number. griff, i want both of your take on this. a lot of money we are being told came from being dollar donors. big dollars, big fundraisers. washington, d.c. big establishment types. bernie and robert francis would say we got it from the people from small donations that feels like more staying power. >> that is the question where did these comes from. the day biden announces on thursday he holds a fundraiser at the biggest lobbyist in philadelphia for comcast, right? you can't jump deeper into the quote swamp as the democrats attack for getting on the wrong side of money of course bernie sanders going to go i doubt that you will get a disclosure of where the majority of that 6.3 million came from. but we will find out.

the question that you raised in the last hour i think jed, we were talking. is will we see a shift to small dollar donors getting on the bandwagon for joe biden? if that happens, it's going to be a problem from the other 19 in the race. jedediah: if i'm joe biden though i'm worried about those numbers. have you beto o'rourke right on your tail? bernie sanders. now i do think that beto theme has died down a bit. i don't know that those numbers are going to continue to travel upward that way bernie sanders is the darling right now of the left. of the democratic primary voting base. so if i were looking at those there is not enough distance in there to make my comfortable enough. i'm joe biden trying to appeal to democratic base. one group of people though really excited about joe biden that is the media. let's listen. former vice president joe biden just answered the call

millions of americans have been begging for. >> the man who has been a senator, a vice president, and a big fan of aviators. >> finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. >> biden is already making the president sweat. >> i thought that was very thrilling to me. very american. i thought it was great. he is an approachable street corner politician. >> i think joe biden at his best. that is someone who is authentic. >> can we pencil you in for january 20, 2021? >> if i'm there, yes. pete: quick thick. i was in delaware for this show talking to voters. many of them know joe biden one lady went to church -- goes to church with him others have voted for him. nice guy but we don't really know why he is running for what he is running on. will he run to be a leftist or will he be the joe we think he is? and his foreign policy record that he likes to run on, you know, i think it was

bob gates in a book said he has gotten every major policy on foreign policy wrong in the last four years. joe biden does not have a good foreign policy record either but there is a big but. griff: they know who he is. comfort level for him. particularly for democrats who may be a little more in the middle frightened by the socialist. they see joe and they say okay, i know that guy. trust him. that's why his campaign ads, introductory campaign ad pitted him directly as the guy to beat donald trump. jedediah: i think there is a plus and minus. they know who he is but they also know who he is. made their decision oftentimes about him. many of these other candidates coming on the scene like the betos and buttigiegs are dee. defining themselves in this moment. this is what where i am where the hard left is looking at medicare for all green new deal. joe biden has a very long history and very long record that he will be held account being for in a different way than a lot of those up and coming candidates.

pete: see like where he ends up standing on the green new deal and medicare for all. we showed the media. we didn't watch all of that another joe, joe concha who covers the media says this approach from the elites is not going to work in 2020. watch. >> the bottom line is, that, as far as the media putting their finger on the button for joe biden, we saw it, obviously with hillary clinton. it simply doesn't work as half the country doesn't trust the messenger. all white noise. punditry and predictions mean nothing to the american people. they will decide what happens here debates concise message which biden needs to establish besides trump is a bad guy. pete: yeah. you know the reason i have think it's a bad approach is that the perception of our president right now is already baked into his numbers. people may love a lot of things that he does or a few things he does. knowing all of that and we will see where joe biden, if he is really punching at trump is really going to expand his numbers as

opposed to being more progressive. griff: i would argue or submit that the biggest thing that is going to be a challenge for biden for any democrat is this economy. jedediah: exactly right. the economic numbers looking really really good right now. growth up 3.2% from january through march s&p 500. s&p up 4.7%. dow up 3.1%. nasdaq up .34%. we have president trump talking about the economy from indianapolis. let's take a listen. >> our economy is now the hottest nir on the planet earth. >> the g.d.p. smashed expectations annual rate of 3.2% in the first quarter. interest rates and quantitative easing that the

previous administration had, that 3.2 would have been much higher than that but they haven't hit these numbers in 16 years. pete: imagine what they could be without the resistance and obstruction democrats media which are the same thing. he has done this with a witch-hunt on him for two years. he has done this with even a deep state against him the economy is roaring. these numbers are huge and historic for this country. griff: favorite thing in reporting that is remember when. paul krugman of the "new york times" earlier this month it's true that u.s. economic growth got above for two quarters last year. trumpists are still pretending to believe we have great growth for a decade. looks like a brief and rather fading sugar high. it continues larry summers in the "the washington

post." the budget forecast that economic growth will rise to 3% because of the administration's policies large is i is tax cuts and perhaps also its regulatory policies. fair enough if you believe in tooth fairies and ludicrous supply side economics. jedediah: so these media predictions i wonder ba at what point people are going to be so disgusted predictions about the economy wind up being false. then they all put out this collusion narrative. trump included, trump colluded. they have an ajensd. this is not reality anymore. let me look and see what's happening in my own life. let me put this information together and become a citizen journalist. you can't rely on the media the way you should be able to. pete: you can't take anything straightforward from these folks. what the left was invested in for the longest time was managing decline in america. they thought america was yesterday. china rising or international markets. we were going to lose these

jobs, go away. grow very steadily. that's what obama told us no, magic wand. ain't going to happen. president trump said america great. should be. manufacture things. our trade deals are terrible in hurts our people and workers. people come in unchecked. wages go down. that lifts all boats. and that is -- that's why it's so inspiring to see folks at the bottom. folks in the middle. most benefited or benefited greatly. even those at the top are benefiting as well. great, everyone benefiting is a signature item of this economy right now. griff: economists keep apparently getting it wrong. we had peter morici who i believe is a very smart economist on this show a lot. here is what peter morici says about what they got wrong. >> what have you got here are democratic economists and liberal media chooses to only publish them. and they are not looking at trump's policies objectively. they are not separating the man from the policy. create a false narrative that things really aren't as good as they look. all the benefits are going to wall street. and that's simply not true. wages are rising.

ordinary people are doing better. people who couldn't find jobs. the reality is thi his policies have done very well. pete: false narrative like the manufactured crisis at the border. they tell it to you enough therefore it must be true turns out it's not true. jedediah: they think people are stupid and under estimate the american voting power and research these issues right now because they are on tv. they get it they see what's going on. jedediah: headlines for you. bizarre story unfolding overnight in texas. stolen military weapons from fort hood found inside several homes from the base. police evacuating four neighborhoods in killeen during the search. unclear what type of weapons were found. police only saying there are multiple suspects. the truck driver responsible for this massive fiery highway pileup that killed at least four due in court today. he is facing vehicular homicide charges after escaping the crash with

minor injuries. the crash horrified colorado authorities. >> this is looking to be one of the worst accidents we have had here in lakewood. true carnage there. jedediah: police say there is no evidence the driver was under the influence or intentionally caused the crash. an indiana man under arrest for throwing his cell phone on stage as president trump was preparing to speak. you could see the phone flying in the air at the nra convention in minneapolis. the a.p. identifying him as this man. sources telling fox news william rose was drunk. it's still unclear whether he intended to harm the president. and moments ago, crew imploding two cooling towers in massachusetts. watch this.

this resonates with the members. the president said i'm listen talking. i hear you. i respect you and aim not going to allow anybody, anywhere, whether it be within or without to take away your second amendment rights. it was received very well. pete: excellent. was there any discussion about reciprocity about carry and conceal something the house and senate were potentially looking at. >> that conversation is happening all the time. and that conversation is a big one for the nra members that i have spoken to. they want to be able, if they are licensed in one state, like in indiana, they want to be able to carry another state like new jersey. why does new jersey get to say no? if my marriage license is recognized? why not my license to carry a firearm? pete: absolutely. jedediah: we talk a lot about the flyover states the midwest. i'm curious joe biden recently announced he will be running. how do you think joe will do in the midwest? and dogs very any chance of flipping those states that hillary clinton lost in

2016? >> if hillary clinton knew how to campaign you might have had a different result. joe biden is a long way from the guy from scranton. this is the guy testing out sun glasses with barack obama. this is the guy doing what did he raise $6 millioned in the first $24 million from some very high end kind of fundraisers. he doesn't really get to engage that midwest connection that maybe he thought he once did when he was the amtrak guy. that's a long way away. the midwest voter is very focused on the economy. very focused on national security. so it's not like it's this wide, you know, spread of difference. there is a difference in attitude. that much is for sure former vice president biden keeps talking about the dignity of work if that's your message and lots of folks are back with jobs including manufacturing jobs. will that resonate? >> i had this conversation with dana perino yesterday on the daily briefing. this whole idea of dignity of work that he keeps talking about.

dignity comes from having a job. under president trump, you have jobs. under president trump you have your kids have jobs. you are able to create jobs that's where dignity comes from. it's not coming from you didn't build that joe biden was part of that. get up in the morning and say i can support my family. pete: absolutely. jedediah: going to be a challenge for democrats to connect with some of those voters that felt ignored by hillary clinton last time around. thank you, tony for being here. pete: podcast caught eat, drink, smoke; is that right? >> that is absolutely true on itunes. it's natural prime minister pri. pete: thanks a lot. previously you seen jed take her d.n.a. test on live television. this morning, the results are. in. jedediah: i am excited.

correct? >> okay. that is the truth. you are 69.4% european which is 60.8% italian. no surprise there. you also had a question of whether or not you had any spanish roots, right? your grandmother had a name that you thought maybe translated from spanish. you are correct. because you are also 8.6% spain and portugal. now you wondered if you had any middle eastern roots or asian roots 19.1% west asian tuckery, iran and iraq. >> oh, wow. >> little surprised by that one maybe. >> super surprising. >> and 6.8% to your tunisia, lia and algeria. jedediah: super cool. >> also middle eastern which includes egypt and saudi arabia. jedediah: quite a mix there. >> look at her map it's international really cool. people from southern italy like yourself. it's not uncommon to have this mix. if you look at a map.

these d.n.a. tests goes back up to 10 generations. can you see the migration from northern africa into southern italy. it all kinds of makes sense when you look at the map and see how far back it goes. jedediah: right. >> goes into your family history. we found some really cool stuff. now, back to the late 1800s, early 1900s, there was a big wave of migrations from people in southern italy where your family is from to new haven connecticut. like a little italy of connecticut. one of them was your great grandfather pascal. he worked for a company still around today. it's called the sergeant and co and it's a hardware company. actually still active today. jedediah: oh, wow. >> we found 1910 census where he was listed as working in this factory. that's the company right there. and then 10 years later when he was there in 1910. he spoke no english, wrote no english and did not read

english. seven years later he enlisted for the world war i draft. we actually have his world war i draft documents right here. it says he has blue eyes, black hair and also that he was disabled. it says he has a disability. he was blind in one eye. jedediah: oh, wow. >> he worked in a factory. who knows, workers' comp? who knows, right? but we also have a really cool story for you. this one is kind of a complicated love story. great grandfather salvador italy came over in 1910 and married your great grandmother mary. marry was an american citizen. her parents were born in italy. she was born here. we actually found in the 1920 census if you look it lists her as an alien even though she was an american citizen. what happened was in 1907, congress passed the

expatation act says f.a.a. woman american citizen married a foreigner she lost her right to be an. she gave her her american citizenship to marry your grand grandfather. >> that's love. >> here is where it gets more complicated because the love story didn't necessarily have a happy ending. 20 years later in 1940 find them again they had separated. they do not divorce. she still is without her citizenship. but she is now living alone with five of their eight children. >> wow. >> as head of the household. >> 8 children. >> back then if a man married a foreigner she became a citizen but her a woman lost her right to citizenship. isn't that something? jedediah: that's quite a story. >> we also have an example of the true american dream on your father's side of the family. because in 1899 your great grandfather antonio came over from italy and married your great grandmotherrist bella. when they came over here they spoke no english read english write english. 1917 your great grandfather

registers for the draft. i have his draft registration document as well. jedediah: wow. >> and then we find him again in the 1940s census by then not only is he fluent in english but he is now a naturalized citizen and he owns his home, which we actually have photo of the house for you. this is your grandparents' house 1098 belmont avenue in brooklyn. at this point they have also assimilated because your grandfather antonio goes by tony and your grandfather ignatius is now going by the name of jack. your great grandfather was a barber and grandfather jack worked in a company. true american dream come to life. jedediah: i love that. >> pretty cool cool. you have a little bit of everything complicated love story and american dream. jedediah: sounds like me. >> are you surprised? >> i am a little bit surprised by how detailed everything is i love that people ask me what are you i say i'm italian that's what i was told my whole life. that sounds way cooler. i want to carry that card

around and say i am and give the percentages. >> that's the beauty. see where your family is from and trace those roots. griff: unbelievable. you ought to go to that house? >> knock on the door. jedediah: knock on the door and find out if i find family members. pete: a lot of bill las everywhere, apparently. griff: if our viewers want to do it get free shipping? >> absolutely right now there is deals for "fox & friends" viewers. if you go on to my heritage d.n.a. doubt come and use the coupon code fox. actually 25% off right now get free shipping and discover your own family story, too. jedediah: people at home do it thank you very much. pete: two two draft cards, great. what's joe biden most proud of during his time in the obama white house? >> not one single whisper of scandal. >> not one. >> not one.

notes. but i have a little cheat sheet here. here are the scandals. i had to actually categorize the scandals because it's like a book. chapters in the obama administration. i will make this quick. here are the very serious ones that involve actual death. not a joke. fast and furious. benghazi. and the v.a. scandal. those actually happened. those are not myths. we had administrative scandals on the obama administration. remember the gao scandal? the famous picture of the guy with the champagne glass in the tub? and then we had the hat jack scandal with kathleen sebelius. i just wrote this before i got on the air. i thought about this. we had spying and weapons of the government scandal. the irs. john brennan spying on people up on the senate and finally, you know, the could you da i can't here spy gate the biggest scandal in american history. according to joe biden this may be the biggest gaffe of all. griff: you said little cheat sheet hold thiewp that's the smallest people of paper.

>> i write like a doctor. pete: when dr. d. donaldwhat did when did he know it? >> two key texts there from peter strzok and fbi investigator to fbi lawyer girlfriend at the time. one in august where it says the white house is running this. now, to be fair, the context of that is still a little unclear. although it's right in the period, pete, where spy gate cross hurricane start. the media is not interested in that another text between andy mccabe and his crew in october where they are talking about a coordinated meeting at the white house before the elections with the cia and they want to speak with one voice. so, believing biden didn't know or his team didn't know is kind of sounds kind of nonsensical. griff: i want to ask you whether the name adam schiff

is on your little sheet. adam schiff was on with bill maher last night. is really one of the few chairman of this new democrat led house that's talking still about impeachment. listen. >> if we don't impeach him, that sends a message that this kind of conduct, this obstruction of justice, this kind of willing use of the help of a foreign adversary, all the lies and coverup that this is non-impeachable. at the same time, if we do impeach him, and he is acquitted as he would likely be acquitted, then the message is those are not impeachable offenses. there is only one way to deal with this problem, whether we impeach him or not, and that is to vote his ass out of office. [applause] griff dan, reaction? >> i have been known to drop not on the air thankfully. i'm a new york guy. i grew up a little bit. kind of how we talk.

this is like adam schiff trying to seem like the cool and edgy guy. you are a news guy. ask you a simple question. adam schiff has told us, has he not, that he has actual evidence of collusion. but he just said in that same clip showing he is a liar that we can't impeach him likely he would get off, why we get off? you told under the circumstances, adam schiff, us on this network and other networks as well that you had evidence of collusion. where is the evidence? the answer is it's not there. adam schiff is nothing more than a discredited conspiracy theorist. i don't know how people have him on the air and take him seriously anymore. jedediah: we have about 10 seconds. do you think the majority of democrats push for impeachment or let him go and beat him at the ballot box. >> nancy pelosi will never let it happen. i'm no fan of nancy pelosi but she is politically smarter than that complete loser. no way. pete: we shall see. dan bongino, thanks a lot.

left's censorship on college campuses. because they know they can't win the battle ideas. that's why they always try to get conservative speakers disinvited and shout them down and try to censor them when they come on campus. now what they do is justify violence against conservatives by re-defining speech. so instead of the left violent thugs being the aggressors in these incidents. what they are saying is listen, you made me do it. you said something that is unpopular or politically incorrect or true but i don't want it to be true. and, therefore, i was feeling as though that hurt me and therefore when i punch you in the face i'm completely justified. that is a point of view that is now espoused at public colleges, tax-pair funded colleges in america. not just by the students but by the faculty. jedediah: michael, this is so maddening to me. do these professors not realize the main job they have is to encourage speech in their classrooms? they are supposed to be

encouraging these students to develop their own ideas and speak their minds on issues and now what they are grooming is a student bode that is afriday speak their minds and feels if they don't agree with that teacher or line of thinking they will suffer grade wise or marginalized. that's whees happening in academia now. not just conservative speakers need to duck punches when we go and give lectures on college campuses. >> not just college students under threat. the idea of the university itself being completely undermined by the students, by the faculty and by the administrators. the purpose of a liberal education is to discuss ideas. it's to hear points of view that you haven't heard of before. it's to engage in logical discourse. now we are told arbitrarily that certain points of view, certain discourse creates violence and if you ever say to them we're going to punch you in the face, the university cannot exist and by the way, you and i,

taxpayers, are complicit in this undermining of the university when we fund these schools. pete: folks need to wake up. used to teach how to think. now they are being indoctrinated into what to think. michael knowles you said i think 10 speeches longer with this kind of reaction. keep it up. appreciate it. jedediah: thank you, michael. >> thanks. jedediah: coming soon to a store near you cameras to watch your every move. cool new technology or an invasion of privacy? kurt the cyberguy is next with what you need to know. ♪ somebody's watching me ♪ and i have no privacy ♪ oh, oh, oh ♪ i always feel like somebody's watching me ♪ e we can help actively repair enamel in its weakened state. it's innovative. my go-to toothpaste is going to be pronamel repair. my go-to toothpaste at a comfort inn with a glow taround them, so people watching will be like, "wow, maybe i'll glow too

pete: welcome back. retail stores installing tiny cameras. griff we are not kidding. kurt the cyber guy is here to explain. >> it's fascinating and creepy and scary at the same time. it can offer us great savings and at the same time it could be a hinderance to our privacy. there could be like where is this recorded video and captures of our life as we going end run. walk ghoo kroger stores looking at technology and checking this out. instead of the regular price on the shelf, it has displays of the price, little tiny video screen and tiny cameras you would never know that are there. you start reaching for cheerios suddenly it might say buy two and it's 40 cents off. that could be a deal. i could have saved some money. that sounds great, right? until you keep going and keep going. there is another company called cooler screens. and they are being used in some walgreen's stores. so instead of the beverage coolers showing glass.

see through glass a visual of what's inside on a screen. now, it's tracking your iris as you touch the door handle and open that up. it tracks your iris to see where your interest is going. and so they are learning a lot about oh, well, pete looked at the gator aid before he hit the button. is he also a gator aid purchaser and does he want a six pack tonight? and then they may light up the we know that answer. and then they -- they get shopping patterns on us and have the ability when we come back maybe create a better shopping experience. pete: we know who we are though? is that tied to knee as an individual? >> this is so early that they are not yet creating a database like that. jedediah: not yet. >> not to say that they won't. remember when you log on to amazon they know what you bought for the last three years. they know what you are about to buy. and these stores are trying to get on the same page so they can predict an experience for you. but the problem is there is no rules to any of this.

there is nobody that's policing the privacy. there is no law that protects them from maybe they want to sell that to a third party who is buying that. i don't know. jedediah: i don't want my irises tracked. >> so should you have the option to opt out? jedediah: how do you opt out? pete: it's a private store. different than my government surveilling me if i own a cvs and want to put cameras in there and i don't want to be tracked don't go to cvs. >> you and i might push back at cvs and go somewhere else if they are doing that chances are this is going to become pervasive everywhere. jedediah: everyone is doing it? >> this is happening right now walk into the store and have the ability and technology camera system to tell if you're maybe not in a good mood. you might notice the music above you shift to something a bit more upbeat because, why? spend more money happier. griff: just the reporter in me we did reach out to

walgreen's for a statement. they didn't respond to us. >> the technology is not as though they need to defend themselves at this point. i applaud them for trying something out what we need to keep our eye on is who is in charge of our personal data that's being collected in these experiences. griff: kurt. thank you. >> great to see you. congratulations. jedediah: thank you so much. griff: we have heard of a dress code for parents. what about for parents? what texas demands. that is coming up next. ♪ ♪ good times roll ♪

up. griff: you are getting the first day of jedediah as a permanent host of fox & friends weekend. congratulations. jedediah: thank you so much i hope if you're at home you have your pancakes do it in my honor. pete: in your honor? jedediah: blueberries, strawberry, banana pancakes i can do that. jedediah: did we just agree on a food? pete: we did agree on a food. i should have made you pancakes last night i thought what can i make her, thick cut bacon, but i know you don't like bacon, i tried to put it in the microwave and this is what happened to it so i can't give this to you. jedediah: that looks like a dog treat. pete: it's when you take good bacon and put it in a microwave. jedediah: i won't ask what's in your pocket. pete: i was going to bring you a whole plate but it's not very good. she brought up pancakes so then i brought up bacon. jedediah: my pancakes are gluten free with a lot of fruit and maple syrup sweetened. pete: that's not a pancake.

jedediah: listen to those in the control room who added that sound i am deeply offended. griff: you did just see pete pull a piece of bacon out of his pocket and eat it. pete: it's tasty. jedediah: it's like a little snack. it's a convenience box right there i won't lie. pete: oh, boy. griff: oh, boy. pete: what fun thanks for being with us and congratulations sincerely. we love working with you. smart, a patriot, great for the show. griff: we have a lot of fun and news as well and to the border we go. crisis at the border, hundreds of migrants jumping on top of this train to avoid law enforcement in mexico. pete: now the trump adminitration ramping up security as those migrants move closer to the u.s.. jedediah: jillian turner joins us live from washington with more. reporter: good morning, guys, hundreds of migrants there are hoping to reach the u.s. , board ed a freight rain in southern mexico late thursday frustrated by the mecklenburg government's efforts to slow

down their progress towards the united states. the government has been under fire as he sleeks to slash overall immigration into the country legal and illegal. on the u.s. side of the border the pentagon preparing to loosen rules that prohibit u.s. troops from interacting with migrants and according to a pentagon spokesman the mission at the border will not change but the pentagon does tell fox news it'll soon sign off of a new dhs request for 300 more troops to the border. mostly, this will include support personnel, folks, like lawyers, cooks, drivers and medics. the trump adminitration also making a new move to speed up construction of the wall. yesterday dhs issued a waiver for arizona and new mexico that allows the trump team to break existing environmental laws. dhs itself said the barriers they plan to build there will block the national migrations of wildlife, damage echosystems,

and harm border communities. guys? pete: you know i'm very concerned about that. very concerned. reporter: i brought that to your viewer's attention earlier pete, they know they know. pete: thank you, jillian. well, as we talk about immigration, which will be a huge political issue of course the field is now 19 democrats i think? griff: 20. pete: i can't keep up. pete: joe biden was number 20 a big indication of the kind of traction you might get as a candidate how much money you can raise in the first 24 hours to become a new 24 hours of your candidacy so the numbers are out for the first 24 of joe biden. he raised 6.3 million that's just a bit more than what beto o'rourke raised in his first 24 hours, 6.1, bernie sanders 5.9 million the rest of them more or less around $1 million. some say look he's ahead, others say for the former vice presidential candidate whose been on the national scene for four or five decades you should be able to come out with a

bigger number than that and pay attention to whether it's big dollar donors or small donors like bernie and robert francis. jedediah: bernie is right on his tail, beto o'rourke right on his tail i don't know if that will be sustained energy but certainly for bernie it is and i think joe biden whose been struggling a little bit with his messaging that video he put out his announcement video kind of showcased that everyone was left feeling what policies is he advocating and i think when you struggle with messaging and the democratic base that's gone far left and you have a very long record that's open to a lot of criticism, joe i think he's struggling a little bit and you can't tell me he's not afraid of bernie sanders because he is given the environment we're in right now. griff: he may be but we'll draw a little bit of a distinction with you because i believe look 6.3 million is the biggest number even if it came at a fundraiser of a lobbyist, it's the biggest number and that does matter in pot politics, but then also the campaign ad was designed to position himself as the guy to take on president

trump, by highlighting what they believe was one of trump's lowest moments which was his response in the wake of charlottesville so you check both of those boxes, most money and positioning yourself as the best to take on president trump. jedediah: voters also like to remind you it's not about the money. remember hillary clinton had a lot of money, jeb bush had a ton of money and oftentimes it's about the issues and we asked radio talk show host whether biden can appeal to midwest voters on the issues and this is what he had to say. >> joe biden is a long way from the guy from scranton. this is the guy testing out sunglasses with barack obama, this is the guy doing what can he raise $50 million in the first 24 hours from some very high end kind of fundraisers? he doesn't really get to engage that midwest connection that maybe he thought he once did when he was the amtrak guy. that's a long way away. pete: you mentioned jeb bush. it feels like that. tons of money, the establishment likes him, he's inside the old box where the party used to be, the people, the kids who crash

the party one of which happens to be an old socialistic in bernie sanders have an authentic message they know exactly what they stand for the young kids love it and it feels like there's enthusiasm in crowds. i can't wait for joe biden to actually be asked questions about the green new deal about medicare for all about free college about letting the boston bomber vote from prison. what is he going to say because those things are unpopular with the general electorate but popular with the progressive base, and no one knows where joe stands. joe has, i don't see a rationale for a candidacy other than obama 2.0. he says he didn't ask obama for an endorsement that's the biggest joke i ever heard. jedediah: that's the best. griff: i think he puts his finger on the biggest problem for joe biden which is what do you offer midwestern voters or any other voter in a 3.2% gdp economy which is really no one can make the case that this is going to slow down any time soon which means we're going to likely have this economy when they go to the ballot box.

jedediah: earn everyone is waited to see if joe comes out to be the moderate when asks these questions about the green new deal and medicare for all is he coming out to be the contrast for bernie sanders or is he going to compete with bernie sanders and play that game and apologize for his record and say it's a different time and space and i've evolved and go that route. i think that would be an unsuccessful route if he's going to do anything he's got to be the contrast and appeal to those moderate voters. pete: he will say like it or not this is me. i just don't think he can do that. griff: how does the moderate voter get there, a union guy, we've had him on the show before he was texting me the last few days and when biden launched and he says i don't know what joe biden offers me because he went from the democrats to trump to vote for him and now, biden has to make the case to get those guys back and i don't know what he can offer. jedediah: it's going to be a fun debate stage. looking forward to that primary probably like 30 people. we'll turn to headlines for you now on this 9:00 a.m. hour, and

it's a story unfolding overnight in texas. military weapons from fort hood found in indiana inside several homes in the base. police evacuating four negotiatings as they search homes, it's unclear what types of weapons were found. police will only say there are multiple suspects. and the truck driver responsible for this massive fiery highway pileup that killed at least four is due in court today. he is facing vehicular homicide charges after escaping the crash with minor injuries and the crash horrified colorado authorities. >> this is looking to be one of the worst accidents we've had here in lakewood. it's just true carnage there. jedediah: police say there's no evidence the driver was under the influence or intentionally caused the crash. and, 2020 democratic presidential candidate pete buttigieg vows to give back more than $30,000 donated by federal

lobbyists. his campaign manager telling supporters in an e-mail, mayor pete will not be influenced by special interest money and we understand that making this promise is an important part of that commitment. pete buttigieg is among several 2020 democrats refusing donation s from lobbyists. pete: thank you, jed, to day two of the nfl draft, the arizona cardinals trade josh rosen to the miami dolphins and the denver wrongers grabbing missouri's drew lock and the moment of the day, colts punter pat mcafee announcing their third round pick, listen. >> hello, nashville. we did not punt much against the tennessee titans, so you probably have no clue who i am. pete: maybe that's why i didn't know how to pronounce his name either the colts pick stanford lan backer, and a lot of hopes made tomorrow everyone thinks they will win the super bowl

we'll see, except for giants fans. jedediah: i really try to follow the sports, but i'm not so good all the time. pete: they drafted this quarterback from duke who they think is going to be really good but a lot of giant fans are going what? sixth pick? griff: i've got to turn this a little bit to the texas dress code, we did that earlier when my wife sends long texts during the show and a topic blows you know. now just to reset it, a texas principal wants a dress code for parents, and this is essentially what she says, right? no pajamas, no torn jeans, no hair rollers this is that principal, carlotta brown, talking about why she's doing this, listen. >> i feel the need to enact a dress code because it was an educational environment, a place of learning and when anyone walks in, we have impressionable children, and we have to model what we want them to know. we have to show them what is

right, what is correct, and what they need to do when they go different places. for example, you don't wear swim suits to school. you wear it to the beach. it's about academic excellence and doing what we need to do so our children are successful. griff: so my wife kathleen writes, i do drop-off or pick up in full cycle gear and ms. of my jeans are torn so i would violate that and you're with kathleen. jedediah: 100% and i used to work in a school and teach and be an academic dean and i never paid attention i held these parent teacher conferences as long as the parents are showing up they are busy and they sometimes have two, three, four kids with different activities running them all over town, working part or full time. give them a break. let them show up by the way ripped jeans that's all i own. very stylish. leggings it's all i live in when i'm not here. sometimes they have a half hour t run to the gym. let these moms and dads have a little bit of calm and relaxation while they are treck ing their kids all over the place and be grateful they care

enough to be in that school. pete: the only thing i agree with you about is the showing up is the most important thing so that's true, but it doesn't take any time to pull up your pants that are sagging. it doesn't take any time to make sure you're not wearing revealing things. if she's talking about swim suit s are for the beach or school, that means somebody, listen, this woman is a principal of a school. clearly sees a problem and believes the problem is maybe parents could model their conduct a little better for their kids including like dressing appropriately in public jedediah: i will be if i have a child i will be picking that child up in ripped jeans and leggings and you can take it up with me. griff: our viewers are weighing in. here is an e-mail we got. she says we all should be good examples to our kids, dress like a successful adult, the kids are watching. jedediah: an e-mail, i think the dress code in that high school is just crazy. the most important code kids need to learn in a free society is personal freedom and respect for personal choices. pete: how about respect for authority that's more important for me. jedediah: oh, boy. pete: e-mail from ralph, how you

dress can say a lot about you and your ability to manage your time, time management very important skill to be taught. yeah, maybe if you're running out in ripped jeans. jedediah: sometimes it's just comfort though. it's so hard parenting. listen, i've taught rooms full of kids i give so much credit to these parents and sometimes you just want to be comfortable and let me tell you i live in pajamas. you will all see me in pajamas at some point, i treck the hallways when i'm here. griff: we've struck a cord here let us know what you think. jedediah: i'm fired up. pete: we do not agree. griff: keep sending them. as a new caravan heads for the u.s. the pentagon considers sending more troops to the border will that help? congressman adam kinsinger served with the air national air national guard at the border he will weigh in, next. you don't want to miss it. >> ♪ only in america

it's a reminder of your struggles with psoriasis. but what if your psoriasis symptoms didn't follow you around? that's why there's ilumya. with just 2 doses, a majority of people were clear or almost clear. and over time, even more people were clear or almost clear. all with dosing 4 times a year... after 2 initial doses. plus, ilumya was shown to have similar risks of infections compared to placebo. don't use if you are allergic to ilumya or any of its ingredients. before starting treatment, your doctor should check for tuberculosis and infections. after checking there is no need for routine lab monitoring unless your doctor advises it. ilumya may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. tell your doctor if you have an infection or have symptoms, or if you plan to or have recently received a vaccine. this could be your chance to leave your psoriasis symptoms behind. ask your doctor for ilumya today, for a clearer tomorrow.

pete: welcome back well the pentagon preparing to send more u.s. troops to the border as the influx of migrants shows no signs of slowing down our next guest currently serves in the air national guard and says the crisis is real he's been down in the border joining us now is illinois congressman adam kins inger. congressman thanks for being here so the president potentially sending more folks to the border maybe giving more latitude what's your take? >> yeah i think it's the right thing to do, so here is the thing, people need to understand , is what is the active duty doing on the border? so some people try to tell you they're down there standing there with guns and being an intimidating force and what they are doing is helping to relieve a lot of border patrol to be able to stay on the frontline. for instance when i was in tucson on my deployment one of the things they mentioned is active duty was actually handl ing an outbreak of the flu, within this migrant population, so that border patrol agents could stay out, active duty medical core was able to come forward and help manage the flu situation, now they can maybe

drive trucks with these new rules of engagement and things like that so it is absolutely the right thing to do it's a massive crisis and it's funny how when about three months ago they were saying it was the lowest crossings ever, the democrats are saying we'll see no crisis and now it's the highest crossing and they are pretty silent on the issue. pete: you're saying they are silent you've been on capitol hill a bit frustrated with the fact nothing seems to get done especially in the house. is there any new conversation about addressing the crisis at the border from democrats at all big or small? >> no, i don't think so and here is why. because they have made it clear that they're going to stake this election campaign on saying that president trump was wrong, in the face of all facts. they are going to say he was incorrect that there is no crisis on the border when all of the facts are saying otherwise where record crossings right now , record asylum claims if we could just change the asylum laws that would be a good first step but they are more vested in 2020 and i want to have a rational conversation with them and figure out how to fix this.

i don't care who gets credit it's a real problem but i don't think it's a conversation at least most democrats are willing to have and it's too bad for the american people. pete: absolutely now as far as the wall we're hearing now that defense funds will be used to build new sections of wall, previously it was rebuilding older sections. what's your take on that? >> i think it's the right thing as well. i mean when i was in tucson, i fly aircraft and so we would go work basically the arizona border the thing that was interesting is we never worked areas in arizona that had a wall there are areas that have a wall , not many we'd work areas wide open and find cartel members on the hills, for instance, doing scouting to figure out where border patrol is or where military assets are as they radio back to people to tell them when to bring either drugs or migrants over. the cartels make money on two products, people and drugs. that's it, and they're making a lot of money right now and a wall prevents them from crossing and shortens the area makes the area smaller where we have to

actively monitor. pete: adam thanks for that i'll take a point of personal privilege because i know you and like you. answer or not but i've heard rumors you may be under consideration for secretary of the air force. any willingness to comment on that? >> yeah, look i like my job now but the air force ish a lot of . i think new generation leadership would be great for it as a military member myself i understand why there's a retention issue on pilots and stuff so if the president would determine that i would be the candidate the person he wanted to lead the air force i'd certainly strongly consider it but i know he's going to make a great decision either way there's probably a lot of good people but it's a very transitional time for the air force and it would be an honor to be considered. pete: we shall see. thank you very much adam appreciate your time, thank you for your service. our next guest wrote this heart breaking op-ed, there's nothing funny about today's pot. it killed my son. military mom joins us live with the story of how her son died and a warning for parents,

pete: we are back with a fox news alert, suicide bombers setting off explosives during a shootout with police in sri lanka. 15 people killed during the raid at a so-called suicide vest factory. griff: we are joined live from sri lanka as police search every home for people linked to the easter sunday bombings. how are you? >> it's coming up up to a week since those deadly suicide bombings on churches and luxury hotels in sri lanka and the country is still on very high alert there's a lot going on on the ground here, security forces in that radon what's understood to be an expected militant hideout, that resulted in the deaths of 15 people,

there was shootouts three of the suspects understood to have blown themselves up, explosives were also found. now this comes as the security is still very very tight around the country. there is still suspects out there. authorities have warned about the possibility of further attacks, and still things are very very tense here. we know that there won't be any sunday mass taking place at churches this weekend. that's just seen as too much of a risk in this situation. back to you. griff: thank you rebecca. jedediah: thank you. we're turning now to a heartbreaking op-ed. a military mom speaking out about the dangers of high potency medical marijuana writing, "there's nothing funny about today's marijuana it killed my sonet. griff: that son completed three years of active duty in the army 's 72nd airborne division and a tour of duty in iraq buffeted new struggles at home and he eventually committed

suicide. he said his marijuana addiction was to blame. pete: his mother, co-founder of mom's strong.org joins us now with more. sally thank you so much for joining us, for your son's service, for your courage. tell us a little bit first about your son. >> my son was a fun-loving guy. he seemed like a normal kid. just did normal things, no signs of trouble coming, but it was after his discharge from the army which by the way and this is important, he did not blame his addiction or his problems or his suicide on ptsd. as a matter of fact he denied ptsd. he said that he had no symbols of it. he experienced nothing that should have caused trauma that should have caused that. he blamed it clearly on his marijuana use. jedediah: sally, we're all deeply deeply sorry for the loss of your son. this story is so tragic and so

horrifying to us. you have made the distinction though in your op-ed of the marijuana that people think of when they think of years ago and the high potency marijuana that's being used today. can you talk a little bit about that important distinction? >> i certainly can. today, what was once a plant, a natural plant is now extracted and it's concentrated and it's made into substances that are used in very different ways. i had a dispensary manager tell me one-day that he shows me a little tiny vile and he said this little tiny thing here is the equivalent of 10 joints, and we're very proud to provide that to our patients who are so sick that they need something like that. i don't understand that science. it scares me. griff: sally you mentioned the signs let's just show you some of what the study found and that is that smoking that daily says

it increases chances of developing psychosis by nearly five times. you see it there. is this something that we're really on the front end, sally, that parents all across the country really need to get into? >> parents absolutely need to know this and that's not new science. some of the newer studies are showing that but they're based on some of those studies are based over a number of years when the potency was not as high as today. i can just imagine and it's terrible to imagine what they may look like in another few years when there's more use of the high potency products. the increase in psychosis five times the increase of suicide is seven times and those are studies by peer review journalists, it's reliable. pete: sally your son left a message behind saying i want to die, my soul is already dead, marijuana killed my soul and ruined my brain. what's your message to those who earnestly believe that more

marijuana use should be legalized or decriminalized? >> well, marijuana pretty much is decriminalized. it's not like it was in the past where there were a lot of criminals going to prison. there are very few people in prison for simple marijuana possession. my advice to everybody is slow down, slow down, we're going much much too fast with this with something that we can see the dangers and risks and signs. the nas, national association of , i can't remember what it is, but they reviewed over 25,000 studies. we have science. we know we have a dangerous drug that we're working with, and unfortunately, we have an industry making a lot of money and creating jobs and legislators like it, and media likes it. the good side of it is creating commerce but unfortunately that

commerce is, it's an addiction- based industry that commerce is only successful when a lot of addiction is created. we've seen this. we know this from alcohol from tobacco. we know this to be doing it with another drug,. griff: and sally thank you for bringing it to our attention it's momstrong.com they can learn more is that correct? >> no, momstrong.org. many many many studies. you don't hear many victims like me speaking out because this is difficult. that article that you referred to, i looked at their facebook page. there are over 500 reactions on there, and 333 of those are laughing faces. jedediah: thank you so much, sally for sharing your story. pete: god bless your son. jedediah: it makes all the difference for people like you who have suffered through these experiences to share your stories thank you so much. pete: thank you. >> thank you so much.

make america great again. this coming after bosa apologiz ed for colin kaepernick kneeling during the national anthem. >> if it empowers anybody then he is doing a good thing. pete: some liberal football fans , mostly on twitter, not happy with the pick due to bosa 's old pro-trump tweets deleted before the draft apparently that's not okay and france is debating how to rebuild fire-ravaged notre dame cathedral. one idea is to turn it into a giant greenhouse. that can't be real. a french architecture firm wants to replace its roof with glass to keep bees and a huge indoor garden inside. honey bees lived on the roof before with more than 17,000 of them surviving the fire. and you may remember peta's animal-friendly idioms like

bring home the bagels instead of bring home the back bacon? apparently they've gone over so well the animal rights organization releasing more. peta wants you to say pest erin citied of badger, itches in your britcheses instead of ants in your pants and bigger fish to free rather than bigger fish to fry, they have lost their minds but those are your headlines. rick you've got bigger things to free. rick: to free? as long as it itches in your bri tches? pete: no more badgering me either. rick: i'm too old for this pete. i can't learn new tricks guys let's talk weather. we've not not a bad day behind all of the storms we had things clearing out just nice a little bit cooler however but that's good news down across parts of the southeast where its been so darn hot. you'll cool off a little bit. we do have a storm that we're watching move off the eastern

seaboard behind that a little bit of cooler air comes in and then this storm across the central part of the country this is a snow-maker sorry to say at the end of april we've got snow moving across southern minnesota throughout parts of iowa southern areas of wisconsin and chicago that's throughout the day today. this is future radar how this plays out over the next say 48 hours, by tomorrow, it's moving in across parts of upstate new york, pennsylvania, and eventually this gets out of here by monday behind that a little bit of cooler air moves in and we're going to be a little bit unsettled for the next few days across parts of the east. all right, griff, jedediah, get over here. pete: you're confusing rick. griff: i'm standing off camera here, obviously you know that je d and i love to spoil our dogs jedediah: we do and now a restaurant in new york city is helping us do just that with a special menu for our fury friends. griff: you see chef jeff here culinary director of the wilson in new york city, chef thanks

for being here. >> thanks for having us. griff: this is norman and he is a very hungry pug. what will we make him? >> we have different items on the menu today, poached salmon with steamed vegetables, grilled chicken breast with some avocado and carrot and grilled ribeye with carrots and asparagus. pete: is this for dogs? like kibbles and bits. >> it's safe for dogs, no garlic or onions. jedediah: so if i wanted to order this for myself i could order one for me and one for the pup? >> absolutely. jedediah: you know this is so important though because so many people at home are cooking for their dogs. i cook for my dog every day and you want to be able to bring your dogs, hang out at an outdoor cafe at a place where your dogs got something to eat.

>> sure of course that was our goal with good company is it's a hospitality-based company so we wanted to extend that. pete: see that doesn't look natural. jedediah: but look at him. he's loving it. griff: norman loves it on easter weekend my wife and kids were out of town so i spoiled my dog and cooked a tender loin but it seems the key to cooking for dogs is to not put the spices in in and not give anything that would upset their stomach. >> keep it simple, salt and olive oil. jedediah: and there's no onions so you guys do the work of sifting out the ingredients that could be toxic to the dogs and everyone who brings their dog can know that it's totally safe. you can have it, you don't have to worry about your dogs ingesting anything and this is fresh, whole food. this is amazing. griff: norman is loving it. >> the critics approve. jedediah: see, pete are you convinced yet?

pete: i'm not convinced but i'm watching a dog eat avocado. rick: is this better for them than regular dog food? >> it's wholesome and natural. rick: the dog's food lobby company, he's like it's all natural. [laughter] pete: you need a lobbyist. dogs need a lobbyist. griff: we have to thank these dogs, folks thank you very much for bringing them. rick: right across the street from the wilson. jedediah: we'll check it out for sure. pete: well, moving on. this show is going to the dogs. jedediah: [laughter] pete: college cancels a conservative speaker over safety concerns one alumni's outrage he says the school is dominated by fears he joins us next. >> ♪ ♪ this is huntsville, alabama. aka, rocket city, usa.

this is a very difficult job. failure is not an option. more than half of employees across the country bring financial stress to work. if you're stressed out financially at home, you're going to be too worried to be able to do a good job. i want to be able to offer all of the benefits that keep them satisfied. it is the people that is really the only asset that you have. put your employees on a path to financial wellness with prudential. bring your challenges. when it comes to type 2 diabetes, are you thinking about your heart? well, i'm managing my a1c, so i should be all set. right. actually, you're still at risk for a fatal heart attack or stroke. even if i'm taking heart medicine, like statins or blood thinners? yep! that's why i asked my doctor what else i could do... she told me about jardiance. that's right. jardiance significantly reduces the risk of dying from a cardiovascular event for adults who have type 2 diabetes and known heart disease. that's why the american diabetes association recommends the active ingredient in jardiance. and it lowers a1c? yeah- with diet and exercise.

jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration, genital yeast or urinary tract infections, and sudden kidney problems. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. a rare, but life-threatening, bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur. stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of this bacterial infection, ketoacidosis, or an allergic reaction. do not take jardiance if you are on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. so, what do you think? now i feel i can do more to go beyond lowering a1c. ask your doctor about jardiance today.

pete: a college in vermont canceling a lecture by a conservative speaker. jedediah: the move comes two years after the school was the sight of a violent protest. griff: our next guest is a former student of the college and argues that fear are the reasons why they decided to cancel the speech. pete: here with more a graduate of incoming harvard law student so leaving madness to go to another form of that congrats on that so in this case they had a previous event with charles murray that ended up getting violent so the school institutes a new policy if there's harm to people they may not do it now they blocked another conservative speaker. >> yeah that's basically what happened. two years ago i was part of a group of students who invited charles murray and in the wake of that incident, they kind of said that they wanted to become more free speech, they wanted to advocate for an open discourse on cap pus and kind of change the culture but what happened

was over the past two years, they've basically had an anti- free speech agenda that culminated in them canceling the lecture last week. pete: he's a polish philosopher member of the european parliament what was so controversial? >> well the controversy wasn't actually about his speech. he was going to speak about the connection between totalitarianism and democracy basically instincts and how they can arise in free societies but he comes from poland, which is a very catholic country and he has quite traditional views about gay marriage and related topics and these are views that are shared by people of faith in the united states and around the world, so that was really the issue that the kind of middlebur y mob had with him coming speaking on campus. griff: but alexander, this guy

is a polish philosopher but also a member of the european parliament is there not something to be gained? this is a person with a life experience for which they can learn something. >> right. he's a renowed scholar and classical political philosophy, he's a professor, he was secretary of state, minister of education he's a very serious guy with what the people at middlebury thought was an important thing to say. the alexander hamilton group forum was who invited him and they thought he could add a lot to discussion but there are groups of people who think that if you have any opinion that is outside of the mainstream in this era of intersectionality, and identity politics, that you should, you know, not be allowed to speak or share your views, and apparently the administration agreed. jedediah: we have a statement from middlebury that reads that we canceled the event because we

simply believe we could not respond effectively to secure and safety risks given the large number of people planning the two events, the lecture the students had planned in response so you hear this a lot though when you have conservative speakers going to a college campus, they say listen, we're concerned about the threat of violence, we can't afford to have the proper security there, unfortunately we have to cancel. is this acceptable to you this statement? >> well, i mean, there are situations in which legitimate security concerns can lead to people wanting to alter events and that's what happened with charles murray. what they eventually did was they moved him to a different location and live streamed the event. back then they actually fought for their values and fought to allow him to speak, but this time, they simply canceled the event, and it's also interesting to note that they could have done something with concerns about security and things like that beforehand, but what happened was less than 24 hours before he was scheduled to speak

, they announced they were moving the event, but they announced it first and foremost to the protesters and the organizers or the students and then a few hours later they canceled it. griff: thank you for bringing up that story we'll see what happens and have a good saturday jedediah: appreciate it. griff: it's official, jed is a new co-host of fox & friends weekend. up next we're taking a look at her journey, you don't want to miss this. pete: it's awesome. >> ♪ this country gave us freedom ♪ everyone's got to listen to mom.
