our moms calling, some showing up. you might hear some fun facts about us. >> does it come as a gift to have your mom on the show? can that be your gift to her? >> no. >> in your case you really need to go -- listen, both of our moms deserve the presidential medal of freedom to put up with us. >> that had to be a full-time job there. >> we want you to send your photos to us of our mother, why do you love her, how much do you love her. if there's a "fox & friends" tie in, maybe a better chance of getting on the air. >> or a pet. you know how i deal. >> or a surf board. that's really got a shot. happy mother's day. a fun show all morning long. as we always do, we get into politics as well. how many democrats in the field right now? i think there are 22?

>> i was going to say about 104. >> but guess what, there's another one coming possibly and that is the governor of montana, steve bullock. you're thinking who is that. i cover politics every day for this show and i didn't know who steve bullock was, a montana governor. former attorney general out there. he is potentially going to get in. has not yet decided to do so. >> he's saying because she's a governor who has won in a red state a couple of times. >> why not me at this point. and interestingly enough one of the reasonin reasons so many pee jumping in is because the front runner joe biden is having some trouble. they're not saying we backed obama, let's jump in and support biden. in fact there's a head line from the washington post that reads, they worked for obama, they're

not supporting biden yet. as they scan the field for a possible transformation and worry about a repeat of the 2016 election, many others speak of their continued hunger for a new generation of leadership and a free face cho can transcend. they are eager for someone like obama who can bring new voter to the poll. they're basis clay sayin base bg that that the magic that obama -- i remember i was teaching when he ran. young people were so excited about him. they're not sure that biden has the same appeal. they'lllikethey're like let's sd see. >> older folks vote. the appeal of biden is does he cross over in the work belt states with others who vote a

lot. that's the disconnect right now between the enthusiasm they want to see. if you're the former vice president of obama, loyal for eight years and you can't brynn ibringin the support of the peoo supported him, it shows you how tenuous his candidacy is. it's so early. people are voting on name i.d. and legacy and there's still a lane for someone to surge ahead. >> biden will run on his years with obama. but corey lewandowski cousin pointing out the difference between the trump legacy and the obama legacy. >> i think people forget the eight years with obama and the failures that biden was tied to. if joe biden want to reiterate the 1% and 2% new normal, that's the contrast of where the

american peoplhe hastaken the a. so this president has lined up a clear difference between what barack obama failed to do and what he's been able to do and he's going to remind the american people that joe biden was the man driving the agenda on the obama administration. >> biden's problem now, as you pointed out, the excitement was about hope and change. now biden is running on, let's get back to what it was before trump. >> changing again. >> people like something new and different. and the challenge for biden is going to be that he is going to have to exprain all of those things that went wrong during the obama years that drove voters to to vote for president trump. mr. trump is going to say you elected me to change a lot of what biden was a part. that's his line. >> and they're going to have to adjust old thinking. the thing he said about china,

they're a rival, not connected at all to the reality that people feel. this administration has a tough stance. i don't know where he finds his footing. >> we'll find out where any of the democrats, including biden, stand on immigration. we have breaking news that we can give you, and that is the border officials telling me yesterday they've now crossed more than half a million apprehensions. >> these are new numbers. >> brand-new numbers. the number of people apprehended on the southwest border with excoto date in the last seven months. so put that in perspective because that's just a number to me. what does that mean? >> if you look back at 2018 the entire year they had 306,000 and now we're looking at an unprecedented number of people coming in the failing units not only from central america, that is why we have no place to put

them, we cannot stop it. the border patrol agents are yoofeoverwhelmed. we had brian kill immediate down therkilmeade seeing itfirst han. here is a sound bite with brian kilmeade talking with them. listen. >> got to have help from dod to increase our total capacity so we can do both missions effectivity. >> what is the pentagon committed to? >> we're going to be here until the borders are secure. we've got to have the backs of the men and women down here being overrun. >> so all of that interview will be airing on this show tomorrow morning exclusive interview with the new acting defense secretary patrick shanahan. he's already addressing what's happening on the southern border. those numbers, once you explain them, do hit home. i don't know if you have them.

we can put them back up on the screen. that number is only seven months. >> that's astounding. >> not the whole year. it's already up by 100,000. that's not to mention the folks who are not apprehended. this is just the apprehensions. >> and remember, we now have more people in custody were my mie grapth in custody than the border patrol has agents on the entire force. that was tweeted by the border control chief. and if you factor in you can only put so many people in so many places. and as the president calls for a wall for structure, the border patrol needs three things, structure, a wall, more manpower and they need congress to change the laws. >> and you've talked many times about family units coming over and that's an interesting distinction to make about the types of individuals that have come over, what has incentivized them, who constitutes asylum,

who doesn't and managing that at ththe board ep border when you l children. >> we've got great information about that coming up. secretary of state mike pompeo heads to russia today to meet with vladimir putin. president trump has expressed optimism about forming good relations with russia after a productive phone call with putin earlier this month. an american airlines pie loot is arrested at a kentucky airport and charged in a triple murder. christian martin is accused of killing a kipple and their neighborhood in 2015. one of the victims was found shot to death, the others in a burnt out car. american airlines has suspended him. president trump warning china about waiting for a new

>> congratulations. >> you know i was going to mess up. when it comes to sports i'm going to do that a lot. i'll correct you when it comes to kale juice and come beu what. >> it's time for commencements and graduations. so liberty university, a christian university brought in the vice president of the united states to give the commencement there yesterday and he had a very stark message for graduates there. here's a part of what the vice president had to say. >> throughout most of american history it's been pretty easy to call yourself christian. didn't occur to people that you might be shunned or ridiculed for defending the teachings of the bible. but things are different now. some of the loudest voices for tolerance today have little tolerance for traditional christian beliefs. need to show that we can love god and love our neighbor at the same time through words and

deeds. as you strengthen your foundation of faith and the foundation of faith among the american people, you can will be strengthening the foundation of america itself. >> he said the loudest voices of tolerance today have little tolerance for kr traditional beliefs. christians are under attack, whether it's metaphorically or lit calorie physically in some portions of the world and waking up to that reality is an important thing. >> important for him to send that something out there, being unapologetic about your faith. you have to battle against it. people shouldn't be afraid to speak their minds when it comes to their faith, be passion anytime and speak out. he's a great example of that. the thing about mike pence that i love, he lives the

christianity in ni his life. >> it will be interesting to see what other networks carry clips from that speech. because if you're a hollywood actor and you say something provocative or attack the president, it makes a lot of head lines. >> or it ain't going to be interesting because it foo it'st going to happen. >> or remember the dinner that he was supposed to go to dinner with another woman and he said he didn't want to go to dinner with swur someone that wasn't hs wife. china is major threat to our nation but not if you ask joe biden. >> china is going to eat our lunch. come on, man. they're not bad folks, folks. but guess what, they're competition for us. >> underestimating china is a big mistake.

he joins us live. that's coming up. ♪ ♪

. china is going to eat our lunch? come on, man. they're not bad folks, folks. but guess what, they're competition for us. >> they're not competition for us. despite china's efforts to cheat on trade and build artificial islands, 2020 democrat front runner joe biden and his view to china appear to be stuck in the 1990s. here to weigh in is daniel hoffman. so president trump has made taking on china, especially on trade, a center piece and shichting oushifting our foreigy toward the larger threat.

why is joe biden being dismissive? >> that's a great question to ask. you know, there was a time maybe a decade or so when we talked of china being a responsible stake hold ner the world community. but president xi has unsheathed china's military and espionage spy services, not to mention their aggressive economic policies. they've become threats to the united states and our allies. >> if you listen to what's being written inside the leadership of china, they have a chinese dream that wants to export power and expand. they felt like they were left behind pi the post-world war ii power structures. what are we ignoring? >> this administration certainly isn't ignoring the threats. and there's no question that china, i mean they practice censorship and propaganda at home. couldn't be more at ideological odds with our central core of

liberty and democracy. and they're seeking to expert the views overseas. and the latest one belt one road initiative which is death trap diplomacy designed to expand china's influence, they forced slang ksri lanka to give up a pt because they were so in doubt. >> if we open up china economically, then over time they will become more small, more free. we've seen the exact opposite they're commanding power, expanding military influence and we see the trade showdown right now. what would happen to the confrontation if joe biden was elected. >> that's good to speculate on. i think we need to hear some details from vice president biden on how he would plan to defend and counter and deter

chinese aggression, which is a major threat to us. but look, this administration has been forceful dealing with the trade war with china that really is china's fault. you mention it the chinese counter fecounterfeit of our prt us billions of dollars. and we need to be honest with our own citizens about the threats that we face and delineate the red lines so china knows if they cross them they'll do sot air their own peril. >> is china the big biggest tht that we face today? >> the biggest long-term threat that we face, yes. >> thank you. appreciate it. staggering new numbers just down about apprehensions at the border and the crisis is so bad that migrants are being relocated using airplanes, an unprecedented move for the

a year of probation. border detention centers in texas are so overvowedded the border patrol is now turning to airplanes to move migrants to and from detention centers, costing taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars per flight. >> this as the number of people in custody continues the climb. we are bring in retired i.c.e. director and fox news contributor to tom homan. good morning to you. these numbers are startling but so too is the impressive move of putting the migrants on flights. >> it is unprecedented. we've mofdz migrants from one facile fi to another facility. but to move them because the border patrol stations are so overcrowded that that can't be taken care of, this is the first time i've seen this in three decades. you said it, griff. this is unprecedented. i've seen these types of numbers

a couple f decades ago but 90% were mexican nationals removed within the hour. this population isn't going home and that is the driver behind the whole thing. they're not going home. which brings up what i've been saying for many months. i.c.e. needs to do a national operation. go find the family members who have had their day in court, they've been ordered removed by a federal judge. unless we do this that numbers are going to continue to climb. >> do you think people are becoming more aware of how astounding the numbers are. and taxpayers seeing that each flight is going to cost 16,000 dollars for 135 adults at a time. when people become more aware of what the numbers look like and what's happening, do you think they'll start to become more supportive of why the president has been so proactive on this issue in terms of needing to do

something asap? >> absolutely. i think the president from day one says look, we've got a crisis. the border is out of control. i need to secure this border. and of course you have democratic leadership saying what caravans, remember that when they said what ca caravans? nancy pelosi and chuck schumer says that three times. i think the president has done well educating the american people. now they have to look at the numbers with, look at the money being spent, look at the videos especially at this network. you don't see a lot of videos on the the other networks. fox news itself is educating america. >> many of the people being moved by plane are going to be ultimately released as well. they've heard they were mostly family units. but are we at the point now where these numbers that we may start releasing males, individual single males from these countries? >> look, i'm glad you asked that question. that is where we're at right

now. i.c.e. is in full capacity. they have brought on thousands of beds at a great expense. but you're at the point now where they can't bring in any more beds quickly. so when they get to that point, and they're going to get to that point, when we start releasing adult single males, that's going to send a surge like you've never seen before and then we lose the border. the world is going to see, you don't need a child anymore. you can come single and you're going to be released. we don't have the facility to detain you. that's why we need to take action right now. this is the breaking point right now. keep the border or lose the border. >> tom, i appreciate you coming on. every time you come on the situation has a more dramatic number and a more terrifying possibility ahead. appreciate it. hope something gets done today. pete buttigieg says he had to google who alfred e. newman is after hearing president

this is breaking news. the number of apprehensions at our southwest border have crossed the line of more than half a million. 504,300 is the numb number of apprehensions on our southern border to include canada it's up to 508,000 actually. and if you compare that, put this giant number in perspective, compare it to last year, fiscal year 2018 for the entire year, it was 396, 579, 504,000, this is only the first seven months. >> only seven months. we're on track to double last year's number. and as you pointed out, this is just apprehensions. now a lot of people cross the border, especially family members want to be apprehended because they want to claim slusm whetheasylum whether it's legite or not. and you don't know how many are not apprehended. when you see the flood with the cartels and the government there

facilitating it, you've got a much bigger number of people sneaking across. >> and you've talked about the family units and that being an important distinction of what was going on in the mast as crossing and who is emphasized as crossing now. >> when we had the problem a decade ago it was mostly males from mexico, we would send them back. now we have people from central america and you cannot send them back quickly, you have no place to put them. we're overwhelmed so much so that the dod is having to get involved 37 and brian kilmeade went down to texas yesterday, ground zero, we spoke with acting defense secretary patrick shanahan about this crisis. here's a little bit about of that interview. listen. >> got to have help from dod to increase our total capacity so we can do both effectively. >> what is the pentagon committed to? what have they been asked to do. >> in with we're going to be here until the border is

secured. we've got to to have the backs of the men and women down here being overrun. >> that full interview will air tomorrow on "fox & friends." don't miss. it. this is a problem compounded by instability as well as our open more or less porous border. venezuela comes to mind as well. you don't think of this when you think of caravans but 3.4 million venezuelans have fled the country, some of which may join the migrant caravans. >> 3.4 million people have fled venezuela in the last year. when i was in mentio down therei showed on the raft it's open, the officials in mexico, the woman that runs immigration for the shelter where people were breaking out of told me she is worried that in the coming weeks you're going to see part of this

venezuela crisis come to their border and she doesn't know what they're going to do. they're already at capacities with the shelters at southern mexico as well as up a to tijuana, juarez. you compound the problem. on a radio show, they're talking about this. >> listen to this. >> have claimed throughout the years that migrants, you know, or people from central america and other places in latin america try to migrate to the united states mainly because of security reasons. the truth is it is very different. most of the people are trying to reach the united states today because of economic reasons. we have had all of these globalized or globalization

projects in the country where they're trying to pretty much install the will of other countries, pretty much, the u.n. ways of doing government. i'm talking more about judges, magistrates, our judicial system being corrupted in a certain way by leftist tendencies. >> wreally fascinated. this is a guy in the middle of it who is acknowledging there are people -- and the sound bite is longer than that. talks about an agenda of people with open borders agendas, globalization project with leftist tendencies using economic pressure to encourage large groups of people to come to the united states and then illegally claim asylum based on threat to their life. when economic troubles and seeking a better life is not a legitimate reason to seek asylum. if you want to come to the united states and work, come here legally. >> this is a. ic that president trump has a tt

president trump is taking heat on. he's cruel, oh, he's not being honest about the situation, he's marginalizing people. when in fact he's saying we have laws set up in this country want you have to follow them. if you qualify for su asylum, o. >> the fear of venezuela, it's over four years, 3.4 million, a million people over the last four years have been coming in. when i was down last time on the border a few weeks ago question saw the people from africa, an go la, congo, india, pakistan, a huge po population of cubans in mexico that have fled cue what . when you compound the number of countries coming, it's all for the common denominator, to get a better job, make more money and falsely claim asylum. that is a problem that eventually the entire u.s. congress are going to have to

deal with it or they'll face the ballot box problems. americans are starting to get it. >> looks like we have a secretary of defense ready to focus on the defense of our border. venezuela is in south america. it's a trek to get from venezuela to central america. but if over time groups of those folks organize, those countries are overwhelmed as well. you can see this problem getting bigger. >> that's what i'm talking about. the guys from the congo came to south america and went straight up through. you're going to see that in the coming weeks. >> this issue has been going on for so long but now it's come to the forefront and because president trump made this a key issue of his campaign last time and and forced the issue, democrats are having to answer tough questions on this. >> they don't know what to say. >> they pretended it was a fake crisis for so long. they're grasping at straws

cocome up with something when in reality they need to follow the laws. headlines now. a plane carrying 100 people makes an emergency landing overnight using only its back wheels. smoke filling the cabins. the front landing gear would not deploy. the aircraft landing on its belly in mand mandalay, the nose scraping the run rae. secretary of state mike pompeo says the u.s. is willing to work with iran but has military options ready if necessary. >> our oi aim is not war. our aim is a change in the behavior of the iranian leadership. and we want to make sure that we can provide the president with an option set in the event that the iranians make a bad decision. >> last week the u.s. sent an aircraft carrier to the middle east in response to iranian threats.

and 2020 contender bernie sanders is joining congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez at an event owed. this will give sanders a high-profile platform to explain his climate change. will that help or hurt him to be tied to aoc? in general, probably going to hurt you. primary, maybe not. >> she is a fan. a lot of fans of j.j. watt. he's one of the best football players in america, also a huge heart, given a lot of money to causes over the last couple of years. he's a tough guy and he had a bit of a straightforward message for people saying your life is not going to be easy but you better overcome it. he was commencement speaker at the university of wisconsin. we thought it was a great message and wanted to share it with you. >> maybe there were some tough

times, adversity, obstacles along the way but here you are accomplishing one of your dreams. it will be difficult. it will not look the way you want it to look. but in the end if you stay focused, if you stay true, if you have the passion for your dream, you will get there, no matter how difficult that path may be. nobody accomplishes their dreams alone. i implore you to find somebody on this planet who has accomplished their dreams without the help of another human being. nobody does. you need help. both good and bad. positive and negative. >> well, i tell you, positive, i remember covering hurricane harvey in houston, the very first person on scene of stature and nam fame was j.j. watt. led the fund-raising and has really never stopped helping that community. they're still dealing with problems down there. pretty powerful message he had there. >> i love his message of just reaching if are th the stars.

it can be so intimidating, especially if you want to follow an unconventional career path. i remember some of my friends wanted to be a singer or dancer and the parents were like, you need a backup plan. don't be afraid to reach and follow your dream. you may be able to achieve it. and it's so important as the students enter the crazy world of being a little lost as we all are when we get out of college to have that optimism. >> but then you have to rip them out of the bubble and say you're going to fail a lot too. >> you wanted to give a speech. >> i have wanted to give to "fox & friends" commencement address. >> what would be the message? >> there would be a lot of themes, a lot of triggering. a lot of positivity. you can succeed but you're mostly going to fail. failing is good. america is an amazing place. socialism is terrible. a combination of those themes.

they put me in one box that like i was ready to give it there. >> i was concerned. >> i'm writing it right now. next weekend hopefully we can deliver the "fox & friends" commencement. >> you think they're nervous? >> i am. >they better be.>> i am a littl. >> e ill us at friends at fox news. com. if you could take to the podium and have a captured audience of graduates, what would you say? >> and what should pete say. >> are you worried about it, breaking a sweat like me. >> they put me on the spot right there and i wasn't ready. thank you. >> here we go again. now that i'm flustered, time to read the tel teleprompter ag. james baker sounding very worried about the upcoming report from the justice department inspector general. >> so how nervous are you about

the ig? >> i'm always nervous about the ig. >> jason chaffetz says he should be nervous and explains why when he joins us next. ♪ bleech! aww! awww! ♪ it's the easiest because it's the cheesiest. kraft for the win win.

so how nervous are you about the ig? >> i'm always nervous about the ig, i guess. but no, they're coming in after the fact that lock at what we did when we were trying to do it in real time. i'm sure that they will find thing that i didn't know at the time, maybe that others didn't know at the time. and you know, i just don't know where it's going to go. >> extop fbi lawyer james baker admitting he's nervous about the

inspector general's upcoming report into the doj and fbi's handling of the russia probe. >> you're not nervous unless you may have done something wrong. and our next guest say there's good reason for him to be on edge. here to explain, jason chaffetz. thanks for joining us this morning. why would he be nervous? >> i actually thought it was a very honest answer because, look, so much of this resolves s around the dossier, it's debunked, fake. and we know that at the very top of this document it says verified application in all capitals. verified. here's the general counsel for the fbi, somehow you have people like director comey and others signing off on this document that led to this surveillance and spying, but it was bogus. and it wasn't verified.

and there are a lot of people who are going to be held to account for that as the pt inspector general goes in and look at the genesis of how did this come about. >> you talk about people being held to account. what rbt the obama administration. i want them held to account about who authorized this. you have joe biden running for president about this. i want him asked about this. what are the odds of that? >> they should. joe biden is the vice president of the yits. united states. wu he just a bystander who was just there for the ride, a good seat to watch president obama and the rest of the crew do their jobs. joe biden has a lot to answer for. all of the flailing that the democrats have about this what russia was doing and trying to affect the election. 100% of it happened ondz president obama's watch. and you got to look at loretta lynch, look at director comey.

these are all obama appointees on their watch. >> jason, i want you to take a look at the president is up and tweeting today. let me put this on the screen. he says, i became president of the united states in one of the most hard fault elections in our great nation. long before i took office i was under a thick and unlawful information what has become known as the russian hoax. my campaign was seriously spied upon. this never happened before in american history and it turned out to be a total scam, a witch hunt, yielded no collusion, no obstruction. this must never be allowed to happen again. your reaction. >> the president is 100% right. and he kickedded their butt. 30 of the 50 states went fo for donald trump. >> thanks for you time. we appreciate it. well, vice president pence

are terrorists of cours terrori. in our country, what they're doing to christians is not just shaming and ridiculing us, they want to eliminate us, remove us, erase us from the public square. that's what this is about. i'm telling you the secular progressives are angrier than ever. it's evangelical christians that put donald trump and vice president pence into the white house because they were frustrated with feeling like they were being silenced and shamed and that there were so many laws that were anti-christian and policies that came out of the obama administration. president trump is a reaction to that. >> rachel, i love your fox nation show "moms." airing tonight, a special on the fox news channel and it's featuring maga moms. tell us about this. >> do we have a clip? you want to show the clip? >> we have it. let's go to it right now.

the united states. now that he's said it, everyone gets the reference and the reason that we're talking about it is because it's a very accurate comparison, most people hadn't thought about it before and unlike alfred e. newman, i think pete buttigieg should worry. >> since buttigieg entered the scene, one person having trouble is beto o'rourke which is why he's planning a reintroduction as 2020 buzzing around. i want to get to this ap headline. beto o'rourke plans reintroduction. do you have a chance to come out of the gate, flub it a bit and then say hold on, i'm going to reintroduce myself. is this going to work? >> that name beto o'rourke is not ringing a bell. she's the guy that maybe lost in texas. pete buttigieg is absolutely eating his luj. buttigieg is in ever way the

this one from brenda who says her mom is her best friend. griff: this one tammy is thanking her mother for always taking care of her and her dad. pete: here is ron wishing his mother kathy a very happy mother's day. keep those emails coming in, friends@foxnews.com. again, special points, if the show is in the background -- haven't seen one yet. maybe they're saving them at the end . jedediah: or maybe they're having breakfast with mom. pete: breakfast with mom in the tv in the back would be like a threefer. we might send you the fox & friends trophy. griff: that's a tall order. jedediah: that's a promise. you got to keep that promise if you put it out. griff: we're also talking to our moms, i talked to my mom in the last hour. jedediah: sylvia. griff: and i met your mom in the greenroom. jedediah: she is here. griff: she is awesome and you'll get to meet .er pete: she had a lot of things to say to me. i might share them on the air. we'll see. i got the secrets early. griff: you've also got some parents in t.wn pete: in fact my dad is sneaking in today on mother's day.

jedediah: my dad's sneaking in too. they're like "wait a minute, moms are hogging the camera. we want to be on cam." i have so many questions for your mom, pete. pete: mom, if you're watching, get ready. she is watching in the greenroom right now. so thanks for being with us on this mother's day day. jedediah: all the moms watching, we love .ou pete: we're covering a lot of politics this morning, including what's going on at the border. our own brian kilmeade's got an interview with patrick shanahan who has been nominated, and he's asked him how he's going to preach reproach this new job. working for president trump who takes a different view including issues on the border, where now the secretary of defense, the defense department is even more involved, here's part of what the new secretary had to say. >> mr. secretary, the reason why you have this job not as deputy but you have the job, nominated to be secretary of defense is because general mattis had a difference with the president, could not go along with the

syria policy; so he decided to walk away. what are you going to do if you disagree with the president? what if there's a policy you you disagree with? how are you going to handle it? >> what i like about working with the president, he's a c.e.o c.e.o. i've worked for c.e.o.s. he's focused on outcomes and results. will we always agree on everything? no. are we focused, we have the same interests, the same focus? yes. my job is to get the results we need to make this country successful, to defend this country. pete: you cannot overestimate how important it is the fact that you work for someone who takes a c.e.o. businessman approach. people that form a committee or talk about process or talk about legislation that's never going to happen. and i think what shanahan understands is the president is going to expect results. the border is a huge part of it and different approaches around the world with our enemies in places where we haven't had as much success as we'd want. jedediah: based upon what i'm seeing from him now i think he'll be a really good

complement to president trump in the same way i felt vice president mike pence is a complement to trump. they have different energies. shanahan is very measured. i think that will be an interesting collaboration there. griff: i think what will be interesting is the confirmation hearings, because we do see that shanahan and president trump see eye-to-eye so far on the border, and the border is such a hot issue right now, it is no doubt even for democrats that respect shanahan and perhaps in another setting would easily confirm him or going to make it i think probably difficult just for the political sake of it. pete: wasn't he confirmed -- i can't remember the exact numbers numbers. i think it was 92-7 just a couple years ago as the deputy secretary of defense. so this is a guy who's already been seen as qualified. will this descend into partisan nonsense the way it usually does for the president's picks? jedediah: we've talked a lot about the 2020 democratic field examine it seems to me just swelling, getting larger and larger. pete: like griff at thanksgiving dinner. jedediah: exactly. there might be a new person in

the race, montana governor steve bullock saying, you know what? i might pop in there. why is this happening? because joe biden is at the forefront right now, the frontrunner of this election, of the field, for the primaries, but saying, i don't know if i want to back biden. a lot of people who backed president obama are saying i don't know if biden has the same kind of equalities. i don't know if he's our guy and they're kind of sitting back. check out this headline for the the washington post. "they work for obama. they're not supporting biden yet yet." once again this quote, washington post, as they scan the field for a possible heir to the obama transformation, worrying about a repeat of the disastrous 2016 election, many others however speak of their continued hunger for a new -- they worry about a sighting with a lifelong washington fixture and they are eager for someone like obama who can bring new voters to the polls.

so that's the question; right? sanders generates a lot of buzz, even kamala harris i think has generated an interest among female voters that's been somewhat unparalleled and people are saying, does biden have that same ability as president obama did to really galvanize people? of course he doesn't. why was biden chosen in the first place? because barack obama was the hopey changey young guy, and what did they need? a safe establishment senator who had been in washington for 30 years to just be that vice president that would be the experienced guy to guide the new young hopey changey president. you can't then remake yourself as the new hopey changey guy. you are what you are. and so if you're looking for enthusiasm and new blood, it ain't going to be joe biden. his rationale is he's going to defend the obama years. griff: but it looks like biden isn't trying to be a transformational candidate like obama but rather to say in this environment for many voters they're uncomfortable with president trump's leadership style, they're shocked by the surprises that come and they

feel insecure, it feels unstable they're upset about some of the things the president's leadership style has led to, and so i think you're going to be a biden campaign say it's not about hope and change, but let's get back to the way it was before trump, oh, and, by the way, let's keep the economy, except for that economy thing. pete: i'll keep the magic wand that obama couldn't find. jedediah: i really feel like in a primary the voters go for the red meat, they want that passion they want someone who's going to be able to campaign really well, have a ton of energy, be really passionate about the causes cause. and the causes are climate change, we talked about health care, a lot of issues where joe biden has a moderate record that might not appeal to where moderate voters are. griff: we had a poll yesterday 82% of likely democrat voters put the top issue of climate change out there in the new -- the green new deal is certainly perhaps the biggest policy issue that's different from the president. it's very progressive and it's going to be very difficult for biden to go to that center lane

with something that doesn't meet that standard. pete: he said he wanted middle ground, he got a lot of criticism for it. speaking of middle ground, no middle ground on the russian collusion investigation. bob mueller's report comes out, democrats not satisfied. jerry nadler and others in the house continue these endless investigations into what happened as the real investigations go on like inspector general horowitz and others that will look at investigating the investigators. well, the washington post has a headline about this recently because there are 20 ongoing investigations, and they say trump and his allies are blocking more than 20 separate democratic probes in an all-out war with congress. ultimately what the trump white house is saying is why should we keep playing ball when your whole approach is to just attack us any angle. we've done the investigation. it's over. let's move on. griff: they're also looking beyond russia into the president president's financial records. they want his taxes. the house ways and means committee, powerful democrat chairman there richard neil

investigating steve mnuc.in jedediah: and the democrat campaign adviser is coming out no heart who you harass, it's not going to change the outcome of the mueller report. >> it's so sad. and you know, no matter what they do whether they're harassing our attorney general, they're harassing my brother-in-law, the president, it's not going to change the outcome of the mueller report. we still didn't collude with russia. the president still didn't collude with rush russia. i don't know what the goal is here. pete: that's it. and the president has called it time and time again presidential harassment. this should never happen to another president as well. i think that's the key term. at this point with no evidence you're just harassing the guy. he won without releasing his tax reports and said he wasn't going to release them. people voted for him anyway and now his approval is sky-high in this presidency, he still said i'm not going to release them. people are fine with that. i don't think this inside investigation baseball is going to support what the democrats d. jedediah: it looks like a hunch to find something on him.

when you can't run on the issues when you don't have a strong stance on the issues, when you have a hard time running against a really strong economy, you're like how can we discredit hum, can we discredit him on a lack of transparency? something that may in some people's minds be obstruction of justice? it's like what can we find when in reality people have seen the rollout of the investigation, approximate supported the investigation initially, very concerned about russia's influence over our election. i supported it initially but at some point you have to say, okay conspiracy did not happen, let's move on, let's talk about the issues, let's talk about health care, let's talk about these things that people really care about day to day in their households and families. griff: absolutely. you know, the key point is going to be at what point are the american voters going to reach this fatigue level? investigation if a are they will there already? pete: they'll have to start differentiating themselves, a few calling for impeachment, maybe a few with common sense. maybe this new guy who's running

governor steve bullock, he's run twice in montana. a red state. jedediah: going to some holds for you right now. secretary of state mike pompeo heads to russia today to meet with vladimir putin. the two are expected to discuss ukraine, venezuela, syria, and election interference after the release of the mueller report. president trump has expressed optimism about forming good relations with russia after a productive phone call with putin earlier this month. and an american airlines pilot is arrested at a kentucky airport and charged in a triple murder. christian martin is accused of killing a couple and their neighbor in 2015. one of the victims was found shot to death. the others were in a burned-out car. prosecutors have not said what led them to martin. american airlines has suspended him. a harvard professor representing harvey weinstein is out as a faculty dean. the school announcing ronald sullivan and his wife will not

one of two jewish republicans in new york. you talked about your words being in line with your deeds being in line with your actions. there's a breakdown here. pete: either the speaker's office did not -- or worse they did vet the imam and decided it would be okay for the imam to be on the floor of the house of representatives anyway. let's just say all you found was that he compares israel to nazis nazis. that would be enough to maybe tell that member or other members of the caucus, how do you find another imam if you want to have an imam give an opening prayer. as you pointed out, comparing israel to terrorists, inciting violence, calling for a third palestinian intifada or the posts on social media that are supportive of muslim brotherhood as the list goes further on, it's a bad call to have this person. it's horrible judgment. and after the 2019 that we've had so far, where members of their own caucus are pushing anti-semitism and anti-israel hate, it was a bad.

maria:. pete: yeah. i mean, represent ilhan omar backed him up and said it was great to have him there. you were in the front-row seat ultimately -- look this up and a simple google search points out what this guy's background is. support of the muslim brotherhood, anti-semitism, talking about supporting up uprisings against israel. is it truly a mind-set amongst house democrats that that's just a mainstream thought and we need to accept that from imams that we put in front of the house? >> well, there are a number of house democrats, especially a couple freshmen come to mind, you mentioned ilhan omar, rashida tlaib, there's another one that has shown anti-israel hatred, it's dangerous, when you do the research and you study the hamas charter where they actually talk about murdered every jew and saying that jihad is an obligation, and just last week in a philadelphia islamic community said a muslim america society with ties -- one of their founders is actually a co-

-- was a head of the muslim brotherhood. that just happened last weekend, radicalizing u.s. children on u.s. soil. it's infiltrating american politics, the halls of congress, we're seeing it on college campuses, we see it at the islamic center in philadelphia. you should be more sensitive to have the, not less sensitive. you're seeing a decitizenstizing right now that is hugely dangerous if that becomes -- takes over more and more of the democratic party similarly to the way that the corvinism happened to the labor party in the u.k. pete: we talked to eddie bernie johnson, who invited the imam, but she did not answer back. they are thinking about designat designating them rightful as a terrorist organization. here is someone at the podium who says we understand what the muslim brotherhood wants, destruction of israel, establishment of a caliphate if they could, ultimately that mind-set is alive and well in the democrat party. >> nonnegotiable that they want to wipe israel off the map.

pete: yes. >> that israel has no rights, no business to be there, and they will financially reward terrorists for murdering innocent americans and israelis. he was an united states military graduate, he was killed. the palestinians will financially reward that terrorism. what we see over there, the muslim brotherhood should be designated as a terrorist organization, and if you speak to islamic governments and islamic elected officials over in the middle east, many of them call the muslim brotherhood a terrorist organization. pete: they're tried to do that within their own country. >> absolutely. and hamas is a designated terrorist organization. social media companies, twitter and facebook, hams and muslim brotherhood, they still have their twitter accounts. meanwhile, you're bands david horowitz here, james woods, suspending his account. there's a real responsibility there to tackle terrorists in u.s. companies. pete: thank you for being here.

what you have done is amazing. tell us about what this is, crack cancer? >> well, the crack cancer campaign is a fundraising effort for the really strong foundation that we started in favor of my son because he fought really hard and he lost his battle because there's no good treatment for gleeoblastoma in the aggressive brain tumors and if there was one child that was going to live, it was willie. he was determined, he was strong he was positive, he fought with grace, and he endured many different surgeries, chemo, radiation, immunotherapies, vaccines, and nothing worked. there's just no good treatment for this disease so we started the foundation because we don't want children to suffer the way he did and many are and that's why we partnered with children's national so that we can defeat this and find good therapies and fund their resea.ch

jedediah: courtney, how did you come up with this idea? >> i was asked to be on the board of the foundation after willie passed away. and one of the goals is to raise $2 million in five years; so i was trying to think of ways in which we can accomplish that goal; so i thought of the ice bucket challenge how successful that was, and it was so much fun for everybody, and so i thought we should do that for the willie strong foundation and get all ages involved and make them excited about raising money and awareness about this disease. so we came up with crack cancer. griff: kathryn, what do i got to do? >> you got to take that egg and crack it on your head. pete: your daughter challenged you specifically. griff: she did. >> with crack cancer, one small crack can make a difference. so we're asking everyone to enjoy -- griff: i'm going to do this on live television, it's a very bad idea.

on government, literally they pay the fathers to not be in the family. so that break down that's happened since the sixties is a new generation. now they've gotten so used to it and blacks have surrendered their political party by giving their overwhelming support for so on, there's blow back. a new generation is saying, hang on. what are you actually giving me? i'm living in the same area, same problem, with the same problem that my parents and my grandparents did, and they should not take that for granted granted. they're going to lose on that. griff: we have a 2017 pew poll on democrat african-americans, 40% moderate, 30% conservative, only 28% liberal. that may be shocking to some. >> well, it shouldn't be to the people who have to live with their situation, and that is that very community. and as blacks we have looked at this and said what are the principles that actually have made us better? conservative principles, building a business, keeping the

>> all you graduates. is you go out into the world is, my advice to you is -- don't go! it's rough out there! move back with your parents. let them worry about it!

jedediah: the debate over coddling kids is heating up as an ohio school district decides to ditch valedictorian honors altogether, this in an effort to protect students mental health. but can competition be a good thing? here to weigh in is the pill bull of personal development and author of "what's wrong with damn near everything?" larry winget. welcome to the show. larry, this stuff really twists me in a knot. i was valedictorian of my college because i worked my bum off for it day and night, and i appreciated that honor. there were things that i succeeded in; there were things that i didn't. but all of those successes and failures trained me to do a little something called life. so what are these kids missing out on? >> well, they're going to miss out on life, just like you just said. what's amazing to me is the lack of logic behind this, that somehow we think you becoming valedictorian and yet did not -- you did the work and denying you that title is somehow going to make me a better student.

it's somehow going to make me a better person. it doesn't work like that at all all. competition always makes us stronger. and somehow we've reached this place in our finances -- don't get too rich, don't become too successful at your business, don't be the best player, we'll take that away from you, too, we do it in sports, finances, business, and now in academics that we somehow believe that taking away the recognition for high achievement will make the rest of us rise, and it won't be be. it will have absolutely the opposite eff.ct jedediah: mason high school principal bobby dodd has issued a statement. it says "this will help reduce the overall competitive cultural at mhs to allow students to focus on exploring learning opportunities that are of interesting to them." we asked for an updated statement to this. we have not received it as of yet. how does this sit with you? >> it doesn't sit well with me because when you go out in the real world you compete for everything. when you graduate you compete for the job, to keep that job.

if you start your own business, not working for somebody else, you start your own business you will compete with others who have started similar businesses and you're alls going to compete for your customers' money. the whole world is about competition. what bothers me maybe the most about all of this is we have school systems and teachers who are supportive of this and parents who are allowing this who are so concerned about that one valedictorian where they should be concerned about other things, when you realize according to the department of education, 19% of high school students graduate and they can't read. why aren't we concerned about the 19% who can't read instead of one that excels academically? jedediah: it's such a disservice to these students that go into cool and it's like they're living in this bubble, everybody gets a trophy, everybody gets a pat on the back, nobody gets distinguished. then suddenly they get the culture shock of real life and they miss all those preparatory character lessons to build up that backbone and build up that strength. >> we don't win by always

winning. we win most in life from the lessons we got when we lost. and failure is a part of character building, you're right right. but we're not even talking about failing here. we just don't want you to win too big because that might -- my ego is so fragile, my psyche is so fragile that you just doing better than me and being recognized for it will destroy me. that doesn't make sense. we ought to raise better kids than that; we ought to be better parents than that. jedediah: larry, thanks for being here. that topic always fires me up. i feel like we're on the same page. stunning new numbers about apprehensions at the border, nearly half a million in this fiscal year.

at first you were like, oh, i don't need to. griff: they said you're a good egg. jedediah: that looks like an organic egg. i can spot an organic egg anywhere. it was a brown egg. i could tell by the color and tone. pete: you would. griff: i'd beover begannic and healthy and progressive, is it? -- organic. i digress. let's preg on to the news, and that is the border issue. we broke if some news today, and that is the can customs and border protection giving us some brand new numbers. the southern border with mexico, there is now more than half a million people that have been apprehended in fiscal year 2019. we're only seven months into it. you see 504,300, that is unprecedented particularly because of the number of family units, the makeup of the people that are coming. this time last year, the entire

fiscal year of 2018, was 396,000 -- pete: seven months versus a whole year. griff: and the takeaway, of course, is the border patrol agents tell us they're look at upwards of a million people, and that doesn't even include the people who weren't stopped at the border. jedediah: yeah. we spoke to tom homan earlier who reacted to the numbers and talked about what he feels the united states bust do to stop this -- must do to stop this from growing. take a listen. >> this is unprecedented. i've seen these types of numbers a couple of decades ago, but 90 percent of them were mexican nationals who were removed within an hour or within two hours, they're reentered. this population isn't going home, and that is the driver behind this whole thing. they're not going home which brings up the thing i've been saying on this news channel for many months. i.c.e. needs to do a national operation. go find those family members, they'll have their day in cored, they've been ordered removed by e a federal judge.

unless we do that, these numbers are continue to climb. pete: right. you're going to get dak that 2.0 -- daca 2.0. there are many of them are family units, but a lot of it is child exploitation. it's trafficking in kids as a ticket to get into this country. we've heard of kids being recycled multiple times across the border because they understand that's the ticket. we also have more reporting, and we'll get to it, of a process by which special interest groups are using families and kids as a tool to push an open borders agenda, and the longer we don't act on it -- we know trump wants to, we know that, and new members of his cabinet, but congress ain't gonna do anything. griff: brian kilmeade was down in mcallen, texas, he was talking to acting defense secretary patrick shanahan about why the dod is being brought in for this crisis. take a listen. >> gotta have help from dod to

ine crease our total capacity e so that we can do both missions effectively. >> reporter: in terms of numbers, what is the pentagon committed to? what have they been asked to do? >> we're going to be here until the borders are secure. we've got to have the backs of the men and women down here being overrun. pete: you know, previous defense secretaries focused a hot on foreign wars and, ultimately, president trump crushed isis, and that's extremely important. but you get the sense that these new guys are going to be told to focus on our southern border, securing our borders, investing here, even reallocating money from afghanistan, the war there, toward building border wall. and if you want to fix the problem like a ceo wants to, you've got to do it with the tools you have at your disposal. jedediah: and the question is how are the democrats going to recognize against an administration who was at the forefront saying, listen, these numbers are growing at an exponential rate. we need to support these border patrol agents, support people at

the border that are asking for more funding and asking for assistants. how are democrats going to run against that? are they going to be the party that ignore the humanitarian crisis, that didn't want to invest in this? that wanted their political talking points? griff: they're going to say, you're racist. jedediah: that only goes so far. talking points just completely dissolve, and the reality -- and i think most people around the country are recognizing that this is, in fact, is reality. this was not a talking point that was ushered out by the trump administration. in contrast, democrats wanted their talking point against trump, you're right, he's racist, anti-immigrant, when what he was doing was trying to get ahead of a crisis. griff: now what these numbers are telling us is that not only is it a crisis, but they're going to get worse. there's really no way in the short order to keep it from getting worse. border patrol agents saying there's going to be upwards of a million people coming this year, and you've also got the situation in venezuela in the

last four years, nearly 3.5 million people have fled that country in south america. it's only a matter of time before they get up here. this is a little bit in the weeds, but the gotting mall land secretary for internal affairs and strategic intelligence deals with these sorts of things and, remember, got malignant is -- guatemala is right below mexico, he's worried about the leaders of countries and the impact of more venezuelans and others -- pete: sometimes when you're in the weeds, you get a chance to see the implications of the actual bigger picture. this guy's name is mario during erte. -- du or erte. he gave us some real insight on why migrants are really camming to the -- coming to the united states. listen. >> poll stickses have claimed throughout -- poll politicians have claimed throughout the years that my grants or people from central america, other places in latin america try to

migrate to the united states mainly because of security reasons. the truth is it's very different. most of the people are trying to reach the united states today because of economic reasons. we have had all these globalized or globalization projects in our countries where they are trying to pretty much install the will of other countries, pretty much the u.n., in our ways of doing our government. i'm talking more about, you know, judges, magistrate, our judicial system being corrupted in a certain way by leftist tendencies. pete: so leftist co-opting a system to push a globalist u.n.-based agenda of open borders. he's saying these migrants are coming because they want a better life, which is wonderful, but we have a process for that already. come in legally. they're exploiting vulnerable kids, women to make this long are journey so they can make a a point about open borders and make america look bad. so to hear someone from there

say that's the real reason should be an eye-opener to lawmakers. jedediah: and the problem is we're incentivizing it. you're right, we should have compassion. i understand why people from other countries want the benefit from the economic system. i i think want to -- i know they want to support themselves and their families, but you're right, there is a process. we cannot incentivize actions that lead to such a humanitarian crisis, these women crossing the border undergo such horrific circumstances. we should not be incentivizing lawlessness -- pete: because our focus is american citizens -- jedediah: national security as well. pete: the rule of law here before worry aring about whether or not we take care of those who come here illegally. rule of haw has to matter, and that's what the president has made as a point. griff: you interviewed vice president pence, talked about immigration. he was doing a commencement speech here over the weekend at liberty university -- pete: great university. griff: and he had a message for those students to be prepared to

be ridiculed for their faith. it's very powerful stuff. take a listen. >> throughout most of american history it's been pretty easy to call yourself a christian. didn't even occur to people that you might be shunned or ridiculed for defending the teachings of the bible. but things are different now. some of the loudest voices for tolerance today have little tolerance for traditional christian beliefs. you need to show that we can love god and love our neighbor at the same time through words and deeds. [applause] as you strengthen your foundation of faith and the foundation of faith among the american people, you will be strengthening the foundation of america itself. [applause] pete: rachel campos duffy summarized it it well earlier. she said whether it's in europe or the middle east or north africa, you've got radical

islamists targeting christians, burning down churches. here you've got secular progressives who don't like those traditional values, is so they're trying to shut it down. that's a true warning not just for liberty university graduates, but for any christian or person of faith who wants to stand up boldly today. jedediah: and i commend mike pence for standing by his faith. he really lives his faith and, thus, he's a really good spokesperson. he seems to really be living that way and want to advocate for people who are strong christians and really believe in these tenets to feel confident to go out there and say this is who i am, this is what i stand for. pete: remember when joe biden said he was a good guy and he got all the criticism from the left? jedediah: we're going to turn to some headlines for you. th patrick shanahan providing some unsight into the pentagon's strategy on north korea. discussing the issue in an exclusive interview with brian kilmeade after the rogue nation

sally yates. they had to actually pass a new statute to give him his authority back. but he is not there to settle scores. and when he already, you know, he's already looked at the clinton e-mail investigation, and he came out and he said very strongly that jim comey acted inappropriately and that andrew mccabe lied to him. but my view is conservatives, true conservatives shouldn't want to, quote, lock anybody up unless they deserve it. and what he is going to do, horowitz -- i believe -- is look and see whether there were violations of the law in the fisa process. and if there were, he's going to identify the people, and those people we need to hold accountable, and if they deserve to be prosecuted, they should be, and i think they will be. so whether that -- sorry, go ahead. pete: no, i was just going to

say we've heard top democrats say we're in a constitutional crisis. is there anything that the inspector general could reveal that would walk them back from the precipice they're at right now? >> oh, i think that if he actually has something significant to report, and i think that he will, it will change the political dynamic. but we are, we are not in a constitutional crisis at all. it's ridiculous to say that because william barr will not violate the law by releasing grand jury material, we're in a constitutional crisis. these people are, i mean, jerry nadler is a political hack, that's all there is to it. jedediah: yeah. barr has been pleatly demonized by -- completely demonized by those on the left. if horowitz comes out with information the left doesn't like, my guess is he will be the next target of someone they will be demonizing for, you know, he's biased, he's this, he's that. >> oh, and i think if mueller

[laughter] so i'm going to put some pressure on her, ask her questions and get her to come out of her shell. she's, she might be a little intimidated by it and come home and complain a little, but sooner or later it's going to work. and it worked. because after a while, as you can see, hard to stop her from talking. jedediah: pete encounters that every now and then. pete: that sturdied a heck of a good job, by the -- sister did a heck of a good job. pete: what's it like the watch her more than excel? >> so proud. i can't -- i burst. and sometimes i just say to myself, you know, this is my child. this is my child on television,

and the whole world is watching her. and it's just wonderful. it's a wonderful feeling. if. pete: what was the key ingredient of being a mother to jedediah? >> well, i think we talked a lot personally. i think, you know, we shared a heartbeat once -- pete: that's a great way to put it. jedediah: i kind of tell her everything, and sometimes it's tmi, too much information -- [laughter] but she's my best friend. so if i have a problem, i call mom. we talk about -- >> i know her soul. jedediah: we have some flowers for you. >> you do? thank you. jedediah: these will be for you. >> that's wonderful. thank you so much. >> nothing for me?

pete: we basically made out. >> i was going to say! maybe we should shut the cameras off. jedediah: i love you so much, i love you to pieces, and i couldn't do it without you. by the way, she's a drama director, so she seems shy, but she taught me -- pete: oh. jedediah: this is the coach. griff: solange, happy mother's day. you did such a great job, along with tony. raising a wonderful, wonderful daughter. it's an honor to have you here. pete: we love you. thank you so much for the support. jedediah: i love you too. it's mommies' day. >> i know. it'll be my turn. griff: we've got to, unfortunately, turn to some headlines because it's a news show. a frantic search for a hiker is ramping up in he. amanda heller went to a hiking trail, and officials found her car with her keys and phone inside. rescue crews, along with dozens of volunteers continue to search the area.

here to react, maria bartiromo. maria, how about that? bill maher, unlikely guy to hit congressman ryan with a little dose of reality. >> yeah. i can awe assure you the economy is not horrible. [laughter] that's for sure, bill maher. things are booming right now. you've got wages up three and a quarter percent year-over-year, first time we've seen the american people get a raise for the first time in literally a decade. economic growth at 3.25% in the last quarter. you're talking about growth of about 3%, another thing we haven't seen in about a decade. it's going to be very, very difficult to run against what is obvious to the american people. and i think the american people understand, and i think that people see right through this stuff. i mean, they see through what nadler is trying to do in the judiciary committee, trying to take down donald trump. all of the dems, all they have right now is let's get donald trump out of office. i mean, that's what they're doing. that's their policy. there's nothing like, okay, well, we understand that, you know, the american people want

health care. we understand that the american people want secure borders. no policies whatsoever. of it's all let's get together and take town the president. it's not working, because people see right through it. pete: absolutely. maria, "sunday morning futures" looks ahead, you've been ahead of the curve on a lot of issues. >> thank you. pete: if i am sincerely fascinated with the china trade talks, with what comes out. they're playing a game, we're pushing back. >> i agree with you, pete. this is probably the most important story of the day right now, china. look, you've got two completely different approaches, communism, capitalism. so it's going to be hard to actually get a deal where we agree on everything because we've got completely different approaches. i think both countries want a deal, and at some point maybe we will see a deal, but i think it's going to be very hard to take the chinese away from doing what they do, and that's cultural, and that is steal intellectual property, force the transfer of technology. look, they've got a plan in place, and that plan is in place for the next 50, 100 years, and that's what they want to do.

they want to look at america and see how they do things in terms of innovation and use with it for their own economy. pete: steal it from us. >> and steal it from us. look, i think the president has done a good job in terms of saying, no, we're not going to take this anymore. both sides of the aisle are saying -- we're going to talk to lindsey graham about that this morning. he's going to break news on the program coming up. remember a couple weeks ago he said when i come back from recess, i'm going to have a plan for immigration. i'm going to have a plan to change these loopholes so that we don't have what you've shown us so beautifully, the incredible crisis going on at the border. so lindsey graham's bringing that bill down this upcoming wednesday. he's going to break news this morning and show us the -- griff: you did a great job on that show down there -- >> thank you. coming from you, that man evens the world to me -- that means the world to me. a texas congressman coming on as well to talk about. >> dan crenshaw will talk a little about what he's seeing from his standpoint, being a texas congressman. and, you know, i think it's so

incredible that you've got this renting of children going on, and i saw it up close and personal whereas people are taking kids, paying for a child when they're in mexico, crossing the border, and then they're done with the child. they're either leaving them wherever or sending them back, and then they do it again. it's just so incredible, the fact that the democrats are not calling in the what it is, which is a crisis. and that's another thing, the american people, wouldn't it be nice to have a democrat hopeful coming out and saying, you know what? donald trump did a really good job with the economic policy. he cut regulation, taxes, and look what we got. so i want to continue that. but you're not getting that kind of honesty. jedediah: that would be great but, unfortunately, in a democratic primary, they cannot do that -- >> they're not getting that kind of honesty, but they want honesty. that's why they elected donald trump. jedediah: they feel it. pete: that's why bill maher is sometimes interesting because he'll cut against the orthodoxy of the left. jedediah: it's true.
