3:02 am
moments ago. ago. griff: garrett joins us live. >> trump will be the first leader to meet japan's new emperor. this visit is all about trade. president trump has criticized japan for what he calls unfair trading practices citing japan's 70 billion-dollar trade surplus with the u.s. tariffs on goods from outside the country. importing just a fraction of u.s. goods. to fix that the president has threatened to target japan's auto industry with heavy tariffs. something political and business leaders there worry would cripple the nation's economy. here is he a short time ago after leaving japan. >> we hope to address the trade imbalance, remove barriers to the united states exports and ensure fairness and reciprocity in our relationship and we're getting closer. >> japan is expected to use the state visit as a charm offensive to try to convince
3:03 am
president trump to spare it from many of those harsh tariffs. to do that the president and prime minister are slated to play golf on sunday before taking in a sumo wrestling tournament. monday the two leaders will sit down and talk business before imperial banquet before emperor and elm impress that evening. back to you all. pete: that's a big subtext. what we are dealing with china solidify. griff: president talk about immigration. i think one day off from this network. jedediah: that's what you get, griff. you have to take a day off? griff: in california a federal district judge blocking the president from using dod funds. this is judge that is getting in the way there is two lawsuits brought against the president's wall. one by california and group
3:04 am
and another by the sierra club trying to stop it. this judge weighing in. district court judge haywood gill yum. here is a part i want to read to you. this case presents strictly legal questions regarding whether the proposed plan funding border barrier exceeds the executive branch's lawful authority under the constitution and a number of statutes duly elected by congress. the point here that the president is trying to do everything. the immigration system in our nation is fundamentally broken in tatters. and the border patrol, the brave men and women of border patrol cannot do it by themselves. and this is an effort to get 51 miles sector built and this judge is stepping in saying you can't do it. jedediah: this is an obama appointed judge. is this going to be a battle now between president trump and the court system? because he is kind of backed into a corner. right? he is not getting the help from democrats. now you have dowls in the
3:05 am
court. how am i supposed to protect the border and national security? he is starting to feel like where do i go from here? what do i do to accomplish this task because this is my primary job, right? his primary job is to protect this country as chief executive officer and he is feeling like where do i go? the question is will these battles in the court be successful against him. pete: they have to play out. if you step back, all these circuit judges are circumventing and undermining a duly elected president's ability to secure this nation. he declared a national emergency to divert funds from the dod to border wall construction which the pentagon last complied with that's what's being blocked here it. will play out in the courts and we all said it predictably. some district court judge will declare it unconstitutional it. will have to get challenged. all part of the deep state resist amusement of this president. they hate trump. they will find the right
3:06 am
circuit that they hope to get the right ruling. here we are again president trying to deliver on campaign promises blocked by the judicial system it. will be fought it. will play out. all the while, griff, to your point the crisis continues. jedediah: also they need their 2020 talking points folks on the left. they are backed up oftentimes by the court system there are many liberal judges out there that want to reinforce this idea. in order to say trump is anti-immigrant and stress this is a manufactured crisis or this was trump's fault, they need to not have him win on this issue and victory would be actually getting the money and reappropriating the money. pete: building a new border wall. the person that's in the lead on the democratic side is joe biden. i'm curious to see how joe biden is going to play this all out. when you look back just a short time ago and listen to joe biden talk about illegal immigration. let's see what he had to say back in 2006. >> the democratic position also recognize you got 11 million illegal aliens
3:07 am
here. they have to have a way to earn their way into the deal. this isn't amnesty. they are required to take 11 years work. pay a fine. speak english. >> if we want the problems of canada right now, keep encouraging people to keep their foreign language. english is going to unite this country potentially. it always has in the past. >> i can't think of a country that has two languages as their accepted languages that is doing all that well including switzerland and/or canada. pete: can't say that anymore in the democrat party. first of all, illegal alien, no, no, no. they are undocumented immigrants. that's what you have to say now if you are a leftist or democrat and then talking about speaking english, i have said, this others have. of course that has to be part of our cultural fabric. joe biden could never say that today. if there are any real reporters out there besides at this network they should ask him about those
3:08 am
comments. griff: the president wants immigration plan moving from merit basfromfamily base to mer. a five alarm fire with what is happening. what are that judge ruled on by the way is in huma where they have had more than 50,000 apprehensions alone impressive for that area. when you look back, democrats speaking as you would say perhaps. honestly, logically about what to do. where are those comments from anybody before i went off for a few days i was reporting on one of the 2020 kirsten gillibrand wants to stop detaining people all together. when you talk to the border patrol agents that i talk to, they are very troubled at what lawmakers are doing in particular. they wish democrats would get back to comments. jedediah: people watching at home yes, that was chris matthews that you heard saying english is going to unite this country
3:09 am
potentially. also a commentary on the media. if you look at far left media and how they have kind of gone with the political left, with those politicians and shifted all the way, can you imagine someone like chris matthews who is notably liberal right now coming out and saying something like this? it just goes to show you where the left in this country has shifted. that's 2006. that's not 1992. it's not that long ago to have such a dynamic shift. pete: they have completely lost their mind. jedediah: that's another way of saying it. pete: that's true including the way they question this president in press conferences in the past had a leferl o level of decorum. yesterday the press conference was about his decision to declassify intelligence documents or at least give bill barr the authority to declassify so we could get to the bottom of what happened in 2016. here is part of what the president said yesterday, if you missed it. >> for over a year people have asked me to declassify.
3:10 am
so what i have done is i have declassified everything. it's the greatest hoax probably in the history of our country and somebody has to get to the bottom of it. this is all about what happened and when did it happen? because this was an attempted take down of the president of the united states and we have to find out. we're exposing everything. we're being a word that you like transparent. we are being ultimately we are being transparent and that's what it is about. again, again, this should never ever happen in our country again. pete: so this is a declassification of things in the intelligence community which is the fbi is a portion of it. you are talking cia, dni and some folks -- griff: this is the part when i would be reporting in washington you know pete and jed the former cia director james clapper and john brennan would agree. >> i see it as a serious and
3:11 am
outrageous move on the part of mr. trump. mr. barr doesn't have an understanding of the equities involved? is he going to release information that he deems appropriate for mr. trump's defense? so this is very serious, and i know that my former colleagues in the intelligence agencies are looking at i-upon this with great concern and worry. >> could be concerning because there has already been so much information declassified already that particularly in the form of the mueller report and the previous indictments. i wonder what else is going to be declassified that riske jeopardizing sources and methods. griff: i misspoke. apparently they don't agree. jedediah: somebody else has been weighing in with baited breath yet again james comey saying in a tweet investigate whatever you wish about 2016. don't forget the people of the fbi must investigate and
3:12 am
stop russian efforts in the 2020 election. what impact will loose talk about spying and disgraceful talk about treason have on fbi agents and analysts? this is the problem with comey and these people immediately jumping to criticize do you care about transparency or not? you care about transparency when it comes to russian interference in the election as you should now all of a sudden what are you afraid is going to be uncovered what the role of the fbi initially and motivation was for this entire investigation initially? it's looking like all these people are rushing and clamoring to say stop, don't investigate that, why? is there something to hide? pete: that's the new coverup. real buzz phrase. what was covered up for the longest time was the conspiracy against a presidential candidate. it's clapper, it's brennan, it's comey. their hand was caught in the cookie jar. and now barr who is widely respected, has the authority to investigate and declassify and they are scared out of their minds. great thing for the republic.
3:13 am
griff: we will see what they find. that's what the president has done given the tools now. remember, one of the most powerful things the cia can do is pick and choose what information is released to the public. but, the house intelligence committee is talking about this. congressman mike turner says that the president was right to do this. listen. >> brennan, clapper and comey all of them believe they were above democracy and their undertaking of this observation obviously threatens democracy. the president is right to give the powers to the attorney general to undertake an investigation so this doesn't happen again. can you imagine if right now donald trump's campaign began the same activities against joe biden that were undertaken against donald trump? this has to stop and it's clearly a threat to democracy. we turn the tables, even democrats would say this should never happen in democracy. we need to protect our electoral system and get to the bottom of this and hold people accountable. pete: email us at friends@foxnews.com. what do you think about this? griff: that's right. meanwhile collusion out,
3:14 am
coverup in. >> we believe that the president of the united states is engaged in a coverup. >> the coverup by this administration. >prevent the president from ongoing coverup. pete: will the democrats latest phrase work? we'll discuss that next ♪ ? can you do more with less? can you raise the bar while reducing your footprint? for our 100 years we've been answering the questions of today to meet the energy needs of tomorrow. southern company has been excellent. they really appreciate the military family and it really shows. with all that usaa offers why go with anybody else? we know their rates are good, we know that they're always going to take care of us. it was an instant savings and i should have changed a long time ago. it was funny because when we would call

3:18 am
morning. does it come from on high? does someone say that's our new phrase and what is it -- how do they justify using it? >> well, of course it is. they have all gotten the memo. this is the talking point at least for the next couple days. cover-up of what, pete a hoax investigation off a conspiracy theater special counsel was investigation pursuit of a crime all based off a lie off a conspiracy theory. what democrats want, because what they're expressing really have deep frustration and anger with mueller. they want a re-do. what the trump white house is saying no, no, no, no. we don't get a redo. you don't get to do this in perpetuity. what we have done is transparent. the trump white house gave over a million pages of documents. trump never once invoked executive privilege on the mueller report. a.g. barr didn't even have to release one page of the mueller report. in fact he released most of it lightly redacted. and they allowed 500 witnesses to be interviewed and i would also point out
3:19 am
this, pete, again. don mcgahn the white house general counsel, they let him be interviewed for 30 hours. if this is a cover-up it's the crazy yes one i have ever seen. pete: people shed they shouldn't have done. the president said yesterday i don't do cover-ups. one of the oldest tricks in the book is deny and counter accuse the thing you are actually doing. are they not actually trying to cover-up what they did back in 2016? >> oh, exactly, pete. you make a great point. the only one you want to cover-up here are democrats. they are terrified. if you have been watching their panic increase over the last 48 hours. this whole declassification that trump has given the authority to a.g. barr over going through the origins of the russian hoax, the russian fairy tale is terrifying we have our strong suspicions this is going to go to the want to intelligence community, top of the law enforcement and i suspect it's going to go all the way back to the obama west wing. democrats are terrified of what's going to finally be uncovered and actually have proof of the american people
quote
3:20 am
that the previous administration massively abused the its power against trump. pete: ned, remember who was in the obama west wing joe biden the current frontrunner. so, can they avoid impeachment or we are hearing more rhetoric. are they going to go in that direction or try to. >> first of all, i think you make a great point, pete. i don't think anybody has actually looked at the implications of this evaluation on the 2020 election when it comes home to the obama white house and joe biden being involved in it. that's going to add implications. pete: it sure will. ned ryan, thanks for your time this morning. >> thanks, pete. pete: missouri's governor sign as bill banning abortions after 8 weeks. legislation in the fight for life. proabortion leaders are the ones driving the recent surge of pro-life legislation. he explains that coming up next. 165-point certification proces.

now bracing for more severe weather this holiday weekend. jedediah? jedediah: thanks, griff. it's been described as the strongest pro-life bill in missouri history and now it's law. missouri governor mark parsons signing a bill that will ban abortions in the state after 8 weeks. what does this mean for the fight for life. joining us now family research counsel tony perkins. tony, welcome. >> good morning. jedediah: good morning. what do you make of this missouri law that was signed into law first off. >> we have seen the united states, states across the country moving in this direction for years. the latest surge of pro-life bills i believe was giving birth to by barack obama, by andrew cuomo, by ralph northam and their push for radical pro-abortion laws. and i think lawmakers are just responding to their constituents. in the last eight years, 1/3 of all pro-life laws passed since 1974 have been enacted. we are seeing a strong surge of pro-life laws across the
3:26 am
country. jedediah: tony, is this a goal to overturn roe v. wade? that is a concern by some pro-abortion activists that this is a means to an end for an end to roe v. wade? what do you think. >> have you got lawyers, have you got professors and have you got lawmakers who say roe v. wade was wrongly decided. and it's been whittled away at for many years going back to 1992. you had the planned parenthood vs. casey. but, yes, i was talking to the governor of mississippi. my good friend joe bryant who said that's our goal. we want to see this overturned. and i think what you see in the missouri law is actually the bill has siblings. not only does it have a heart beat bill. it has a directs trigger provision on roe v. wade. also has a pain capable bill. a portion that prohibits abortion after five months. and it also has a prohibition against the china style gender abortion. so it's a bill that has a lot in it. jedediah: tony, what we are
3:27 am
seeing oftentimes is a battle between the states and courts now. you see a federal judge blocking a mississippi law permitting abortion after a fetal heart beat detection. how is this going to play out across the country states coming forward, governors signing the bills and courts coming in and saying no, you can't do that? >> that's a great question. my own experience 20 years ago as a lawmaker passing one of the first abortion clinic regulation acts in louisiana struck down by a court. we came back the next year and passed it. and it's been strengthened multiple times since then. lawmakers who are defending the sanctity of human life are not going to be deterred by a judge who thinks he is determine what's best for the country because he is sitting on the bench for life. look, these lawmakers, this is only going to incentivize and motivate them to stand for life. look, the courts will not prevail on this. the american people will. jedediah: talking about insent advising you also have places like the aclu
3:28 am
and planned parenthood coming forward and suing, for example, to stop alabama's pro-life law from going into effect. so, when people in the pro-life movement see that, aclu and planned parenthood like that, does that enrich their cause? >> absolutely. absolutely. look, they're playing right into their hands. many of the pro-lifers want in this to go to the supreme court. the president has made great picks on the court, the supreme court. judges who abide by the constitution. not activists and they want these cases to be re-litigated before the court. and the aclu, planned parenthood, who makes millions of dollars off of abortion are playing right into the hands of the pro-lifers. look, i believe we are very, very close to seeing america being a predominantly pro-life nation again. jedediah: we actually have a statement from the aclu of alabama. they state with this lawsuit we are seeking a court order to make sure this law never takes effect. we hope our state's elected leaders take nope and stop using taxpayer dollars on a

legal gamble they know is unconstitutional and unenforceable. tony, thanks so much for being here today. it will be interesting to see how this place out and who wins this battle. universally though many people across the country are objecting to extremist language on the left of late-term abortion language that is i absolutely agree is a response to. thank you for being here. >> have a great day. jedediah: kanye west is back and is he calling out the haters of president trump's supporters. the message to the left that is coming up next. ♪ ♪ woow! yeahhh! there we go! this memorial day, start your summer off right in a new chevrolet. oh, wow!! it's time to upgrade. you guys out did yourselves there. i'm gonna go and get a chevy. an exciting summer begins at your chevy dealer. and now, during the chevy memorial day sales event, get 0% financing for 72 months on these select chevy models.

griff: yeah. pete: there is an episode that's coming out that has not yet been released as often happenings they have leaked one portion of it. he did an interview with kanye west. and asked him about why does he support the president? you know, the kind of question you always get if you are even remotely right of center. and this is what kanye west had to say. he said have you ever been beat up in your high school for wearing the wrong hat he asked, essentially asked who is doing the bulk of the bullying in america right now he says liberals bully people who are trump supporters. kanye west just speaking truth. jedediah: is he very outspoken and bold. i give him a lot of credit. he has taken so much heat for from people in history for being outspoken. this is very true. is he coming out. he is being unafraid to say listen, you are bullying people who fall outside out box, who aren't part of this collect vista norm that you have gotten so used to so stop. i think equating it to like bullying from when you were a kid. everyone kind of went through that so you can relate to that i like it.
3:36 am
griff: pete, you were talking about who knew david letterman had a show on netflix. remember david letterman the most political of late night comics before he went off. is he not being afraid. having the courage to go to the most fierce bully bully pulpit. i might watch this to see how harsh he treats kanye and kanye being kanye. pete: easy thought experiment is walk down a conservative hometown in an obama hat and then walk down, i don't know, anywhere here in new york city in a make america great again hat and see what happens. it shouldn't be that way in the united states of america. jedediah: let us know what you think friends@foxnews.com. do you like hearing kanye do this? does it surprise you? is it nice having someone in the entertainment business come out and spread a message like this? i kind of like it but what do you think? we have headlines coming for you now. yoga instructor is found alive after vanishing during

>> that in and of itself i believe calls for impeachment. >> it may be a winning message for the primaries. how much will this talk of impeachment hurt the eventual nominee. pete: kelsey bowler is senior right fellow at independent's women's forum. she joins us now. good morning, thanks for joining us. it may play well on the campaign trail if you try to set yourself apart. although if nine of them are doing it. it's kind of become the norm. is this helpful politically for democrats? >> absolutely not. it's going to end up being a big mistake for democrats come the general elections. we know this because right now most recent polling tells us that 65% of americans do not support moving forward with impeachment. that is not just republicans. that includes a lot of moderates and democrats, too. so, impeachment might be playing to the far left radical base, but it's not connecting with moderate voters who democrats will absolutely have to win over, especially when they are campaigning against an economy that is so strong,
3:48 am
foreign policy that is protecting americans, isis is on the defense right now. president trump has a lot of wins in his pocket despite the investigations and now impeachment talks that he has been up against. griff: kelsey, you know, not just the issues that president trump cares about, but you take climate change. the issues that are polling at the top of democrat voters concerns is impeachment of distraction from climate change and some of the other things, healthcare that they want to talk about. >> it absolutely is a distraction from real policies that americans want to hear. and it's hard to understand why democrats are going down this path, again, when it only panders to the far left radical base. i think a lot of trump supporters are going to say hey, if democrats want to do this, it's not going to help -- it's not going to hurt trump in the long run, so, they might not complain, but we do know we have a president who has a lot more on his agenda that he wants to achieve and it's going to be very difficult to do that
3:49 am
if we concentrate on impeachment. and this impeachment process is being used as a political tool. by democrats who don't simply don't like his personality. how about democrats try campaigning against trump and competing in the marketplace for ideas rather than using impeachment and investigation. pete: we will see. kelsey exit question do they go to the matt on impeachment. one thing to talk about that and one thing to convince the speaker to do it. do you think they will. >> that's a good question. because if they are actually going to act on impeachment, why haven't they done it already? the answer is, because, of course, there is no actual grounds to impeach president trump on right now. so i think that's more of a question for democrats. if you really think you have a case for impeachment, why haven't you started that process already? griff: we shall see. kelsey, i hope you have a great memorial day weekend. pete: stay away from the ice cream it's no good. it's true. not even good for you and doesn't taste good, dave.

ice cream is entirely healthy. i gave it to nick. jedediah: i thought it was delicious. i thank you for being here. pete: memorial day honor those who paid the honorable sacrifice. we do it up big on "fox & friends" as we always should. speaking of doing it up big, no one has ever accused president trump of not going big. in this particular case, he has said he has empowered the attorney general bill barr to say hey, we want to know what happened in 2016 in that election. and if that includes declassification of intel documents, then you have got that authority. cia, dni, fbi, declassify what you deem to be appropriate. this is the president yesterday before he left for his trip in japan. >> for over a year, people have asked me to declassify. so what i have done is i have declassified everything. it's the greatest hoax, probably in the history of our country. and somebody has to get to the bottom of it. this is all about what
4:03 am
happened and when did it happen? because this was an attempted takedown of the president of the united states, and we have to find out. we're exposing everything. we're being a word that you like transparents. we're being ultimately, we are being transparent and that's what it is about. again, again, this should never ever happen in our country again. pete: is he making the point. if it happened once it should never happen again. jedediah: he sure is adam schiff waste nothing time responding with a tweet while trump stonewalls the public learning the truth obstruction of justice trump and barr conspired to weaponize law enforcement and classified information against their political enemies. the cover-up has entered a new and dangerous phase. this is unamerican. pete: there is that cover-up again. jedediah: remember adam schiff, december, 26, 2017. flashback tweet: while trump stonewalls the public
quote
4:04 am
from learning the truth about the obstruction of justice. do you care about transparency or not? consistency a beautiful thing. oftentimes we don't see that from our politicians left and right. in this case it's very, very obvious. in this case of social media, out there, politicians. we are going to see it. if you are contradicting yourself we are going to find it and see it and call you out on it. griff: also not just about hypocrisy. the one thing that i think americans are truly bipartisan on and this isn't just a talking point. this is a thing i truly believe and that is most americans want transparency. most americans want a light shone on whatever issue of the day is schiff, getting caught wanting it in some cases but not in others. and that's a problem because when you stand against transparency, it is a losing argument and i think that is what you've got john brennan, former cia director. james clapper former dni saying no, no, we shouldn't do this now. they too wanting transparency before. we will see where this goes.
4:05 am
pete: they never expected this. hillary clinton was never supposed to win. this was never supposed to happen. when it did, they went all in on russia. then saint bob mueller came out with his report and it didn't validate what they thought was going to happen now they are saying no, no, no. brethren nap clapper, comey. they are pan enriqueed because now we will get a chance to look under the hood bill o'reilly barthehoot. bill barr or -- joe biden in that white house, did he know anything we have to ask that question and find out. reporters in this town, other than this place should care about it and barely do. jedediah: if you care whether russia was interfering in the elections which you should. you should also care about what the origins of this investigation are. when you find there was no conspiring of the russians on the part of the trump campaign you have to wonder what led to all of this? this is a lot of taxpayer
4:06 am
dollars gone into investigations. once again, you cannot care about how much money went into the benghazi investigation but not care how much money went into this investigation. be consistent across the board. griff: talking about caring about things there are thousands more apprehended on the border. this crisis continues. it is memorial day weekend. officials tell me it's going to be worse they know our border patrol agents are thin and stretched. pete: the other side understands exploit a holiday weekend. griff: we had news overnight a district judge out in california ruling against president trump's using dod money to build 51 additional miles of the wall. this is the u.s. district court judge haywood guilliams jr. case regarding whether the proposed border barrier construction executive branch's lawful authority under the constitution and a number of statutes duly enacted by
4:07 am
congress. this is two lawsuits. one brought by california and a smaller group and then rear are a club trying to stop construction in huma arizona. in particular huma is the biggest because they have had more than 50,000 you recall apprehensions in that sector alone in this fiscal year and they are only 9 month into it. jedediah: you have been doing great work the humanitarian crisis and what we can do about it. great job. griff: it's not me. i'm not genius or great reporter. pete: we know that. griff: turn the camera on and let people see it. jedediah: shining a light. pete: you have had politicians maria bartiromo, laura ingraham you see it oh my god. pete: whewhen the president declares a national emergency. here we go again. declare it. planning. some liberal judge that they cherry pick rule it
4:08 am
unconstitutional and drag it through the courts. last time i checked haywood guilliams is not on the ballot. he declared a national this is only a delay. the folks who support this president recognize this is what the deep state does. this is what d.c. does. they try to undercut trump at every step. yet, griff, as you pointed out the crisis continues. we have no solution for it. a wall is a big part of it and woul we have to waited longr because of it. jedediah: interesting what the media chooses to cover. one thing that caught my eye over the last couple of days over at msnbc. pete: you watch that? jedediah: i saw the clip on media to be fair. nicolle wallace, no fan of president trump, as we might imagine. pete: former republican. >> does interview beto o'rourke she is talking with him and asking him what reporters can do better in covering him on the campaign. take a listen. >> media critic what can we do better, those of us trying to cover your
4:09 am
candidacies very far away from where the first votes are cast don't hold back. >> it just is what it is. >> doesn't have to be. >> we have incredi incredible tn hall. people sharing their own stories. those will be there national media ask me a horse race question. understand how captivating the horse race part of this can be but i really feel that disconnect between what is often reported and what is often said in these town hall meetings. jedediah: oh, boy. pete: what can we do better? jedediah: start off by not asking the candidates how you can help them out or make their job easier you? are supposed to be asking tough questions. their job should be as hard as possible. they are vying for the toughest job in the land. so, sitting and there smiling and so how can we do this better? it doesn't work for me, sorry. pete: are you ever asked that question? griff: i'm never asked that question. it is tough questions by the
4:10 am
way that make candidates look better. if you look at our town hall with chris wallace and mayor pete buttigieg. chris pushed him and he came across being the more credible. it helped in his numbers going up. i think throwing softball question how do you want me to cover you is not doing the candidate any favors. pete: can you imagine one white house reporter ever asked that question of the president? jedediah: it would be terrible. jedediah: mr. president, how can we do instead of harassing you and screaming at you. griff: white house press corps they ask that question and don't answer it. jedediah: it would be bad universally. is it wise for folks in the media to ask candidates how we can do our jobs better to help them out? pete: also ask why we sat at a picnic table for 10 minutes without food in front of us. jedediah: you can smell it. [laughter] jedediah: we have got some headlines for you now. we begin with extreme weather. tornadoes tearing through the midwest overnight. a twister slamming iowa city

information that they wouldn't normally or otherwise be able to see. jedediah: what do you make of democrats alarming people, being very concerned about the declassification of these documents saying oh this will have implications for national security. this is ag barr overstepping his boundaries. how does that play out. >> this is such hog wash. the federal bureau has a counter intention component. have you these type of people that have these classifications. projection by the democrats that they are scared to death that the highest echelon within some of these agencies specifically brennan and clapper and perhaps rice and some of these other people on the way were doing some things that they shouldn't have been doing. and that exposure scares them to death and they are projecting out by saying hey, we shouldn't release this information. donald trump should actually be winning awards from the sunlight foundation and others for his openness and transparency not this schizophrenic approach by adam schiff who says it's unamerican to actually look under the hood and hold

department of justice three, four, maybe even six weeks in advance. i'm guessing what it's in. and so i think it could happen at any time. jedediah: you know, you mentioned president obama. i'm wondering if the concern by many democrats is you have joe biden out there in the lead is he going to get pivotal questions and it will go to the top. >> was he involved and engaged in the campaign and organization and office much the presidency or was he oblivious with his head in the sand? pete: will they ever ask him that question? jedediah: someone will. >> no. pete: he doesn't come on our channel, no one else probably will thanks a lot. pete: stay away from our barbecue. >> you start it right early going right to the ribs. i'm impressed. jedediah: he doesn't mess around. pete: ultimate story of perseverance. next guest going from a bull idea kid to a war hero. learning life lessons from a medal of honor recipient coming up next. ♪ what doesn't kill you make us a stronger ♪ doesn't mean i'm lonely when i'm alone

4:26 am
medal of honor. >> we were in the battle of in the central islands of vietnam we walked into an ambush and our two point men got hit pretty bad. one came back and told me the other guy, i think his name was sergeant kasarus. he had both of his legs shattered. got hit by a machine gun. i went out and tried to help him and as i'm doing that another guy joe comes running across and got hit. we ended up pinned down together for four hours. pete: i can't fathom that. our viewers can't fathom what that is and what it would take for someone to do that. your book lays out things you learned as a bull idea kid who then joined the military. went to vietnam. served more than heroically. you have a couple of life lessons for our folks. the first one is you have got a responsibility to live honorably. where did you learn that? >> that was my dad. i remember one day he was talking to me about being a man. he was my role model for
4:27 am
what a man is supposed to look like. he said, you know, life can take everything from you. it can take your family, your house, your cars, all you're material possessions only you give up your honor that really stuck with me. pete: well said, dad. jedediah: amazing. the seconds one is selfless service to others. tell us more about that. >> i had a lot of problems when i was suffering through post-traumatic stress disorder it. made it all about me. how i was feeling. my dreams, my intrusive thoughts and on and on. during some pretty heavy family tragedies, the death of my mother-in-law mary and then the death of my father who died from cancer and then my mother's passing, when i was going through that with them my ptsd symptoms reduced because i was focused on my mom and dad and mary and all that i found later a blinding flash of the obvious when you
4:28 am
concentrate on others and not yourself, my symptoms, at least for me, reduced. i put on my challenge others not self i tried to dedicate myself to doing just that it makes me happier to focus on other people it takes the focus off myself. griff: your third life lesson having been in life and death situations you say one must persevere in life. tell me about that. >> yeah, you know, being bull idea and then going through vietnam and ptsd and all that, it's just a matter of getting through it. you know, i think being bullied made me a stronger kid because i learned how to, you know, just be comfort being in my own skin and dealing with ptsd and trying hard to work through all of those problems. it's just sometimes it's one foot in front of the other and you keep going and eventually you get to where you need to. pete: al, i love it. it's some old school tips that shouldn't be old school

5:02 am
inquiry into that. here is what president trump said before departing, listen. >> for over a year, people have asked me to declassify. so what i have done is i have declassified everything. it's the greatest hoax, probably in the history of our country. and somebody has to get to the bottom of it. this is all about what happened. and when did it happen? because this was an attempted takedown of the president of the united states. and we have to find out. we're exposing everything. we're being a word that you like, transparent. we're being ultimately we are being transparent. and that's what it is about. again, again this should never never happen in our country again. pete: part of the reason why this is happening so much. investigation is limited through the ig to the justice department and the fbi. because they oversee the fbi. the a lot of people feel like the former dni clapper brennan former director of the cia involved in the
5:03 am
conspiracy in 2016. if they were a part of it and you don't have access to, then have you got to give the attorney general access and give him the power to declassify. currently the cia control what is they talk about or share or don't share. that power has been taken away from them and makes a lot of people nervous. jedediah: you mentioned brennan and clapper. interestingly enough, they are not hesitating to respond to president trump talking about the declassification. take a listen. >> sty as a very, very serious and outrage move on the part of mr. trump. mr. barr who doesn't have an understanding of the equities involved is he going it release information that he deems appropriate for mr. trump's defense? so this is very serious and i know that my former colleagues in the intelligence agencies are looking upon this with great concern and worry. >> could be concerning because there has already been so much information declassified already that particularly in the form of the mueller report and the
5:04 am
previous indictments, i wonder what else is going to be declassified that risk jeopardizing sources and methods? jedediah: now, this montage would not be complete without adding a tweet from james comey who had to weigh in saying investigate whatever you wish about 2016 but don't forget the people of the fbi must investigate and stop russian efforts in the 2020 election. what impact will loose talk about spying and disgraceful talk about treason have on fbi agents and analysts? so i find it really interesting that some of these people that were calling for transparency when it came to the investigation into russian meddling as they should have now are suddenly not calling for transparency when it came out there was no conspiracy between the trump campaign and russians why don't they care? well, maybe it's because some of them were involved, maybe it's because democrats are going to be asked tough questions. the fbi is going to be asked
5:05 am
tough questions. joe biden may be asked tough questions. president obama may be asked tough questions. maybe they are a little bit worried about 2020 and the implication for democrats the information gets unveiled. griff: key word there is transparency. the president said in his remarks before he left. you talk about the importance of transparency. important to note that we don't know if anything happened. jedediah: right. griff: we have no idea what they may or may not find. we had jason chaffetz on fox news contributor. now with us, before that he was a chair of the house oversight. government reform committee. its main job is seeking transparency. we asked him what he thinks may come of this. here's what he had to say. >> projection by the democrats that they are scared to death that the highest echelon within some of these agencies, specifically brennan and clapper and perhaps rice and some of these other people on the way were doing some things that they shouldn't have been doing. and that exposure scares them to death and they are projecting out by saying
5:06 am
hey, we shouldn't release this information. pete: that's true. i think the most effective russian agents in america today are folks like james comey and jerry nadler and speaker pelosi because if you perpetuate that myth and hoax and you continue, to you empower the caricature that russia is driving what elected trump, the reason that it is still happening. and if you can't move past it you are only perpetuating the campaign that may or may not have been effective in the first place. cut it out. jedediah: the truth is we don't know if anyone was involved. for all we know none of these people who are now transparency. pete: we have text messages. he. jedediah: whepeople say don't look into that that's a red flag that would lend credibility that they weren't involved. pete: they should say open the book. did i nothing wrong. jedediah: sunlight. pete: we learned this morning david letterman has

would-be robber threatens him with that hatchet. the accused thief so scared he slides his hatchet over to the oregon employee before dropping to his knees and scurrying away. police are looking for him. in just in the nick of time, a police officer catching a group of teenagers trying to get away with $8,000 worth of clothes. the officer forcing him to drop his stuff as they run out of a dick's sporting goods store in california. the teens were all arrested. pete? >> well done. well, apparently there is such a thing as too much winning. the university of st. thomas in minnesota known as a division 3 power house is getting the boot from the minnesota intercollegiate athletic conference known as the m miac because the school is too good at sports. does this send the wrong message. jedediah: the author of what's wrong with damn near everything larry winget joins us.
5:25 am
>> thanks for having me. jedediah: this infewer united states me to no one's surprise. i can't stand when messages like this are sent out. everyone gets a trophy. winning is a problem because it makes those who don't win feel bad. what happened to building backbone in young people and inspiring them to reach high and you know what? sometimes you are not going to get that controversy ever tr. sometimes you are not going to win. that's okay the lesson is more valuable. >> yeah. the problem is we want to make everything equal for everyone. and i'm sorry things just aren't equal in the real world. those who achieve should be awarded for their achievement. the message that bothers me in this whole thing is that we are telling these kids who are left, after we have removed the very best, we are telling them there is no incentive for you to really work harder and earn it and we are robbing them of the great feeling that comes from within when you have worked hard and achieved and become the very best. pete: that's a great point.
5:26 am
the university of st. thomas put out a statement when they were kicked out of their own athletic league while this decision is extremely disappointing we will continue to prioritize the welfare and overall experience of our student athletes. we are proud of our success. my brother is an alumni. he sent me that statement right when it came out. the biggest rival of saint thomas is saint johns. st. john's voted them to stay in the conference they want the rivalry to continue. what the is mindset of the loser college boot them out we don't want to compete against them how many. >> how would it make you feel you won but you didn't beat the best you just beat what was left? there is no there is no upside to that at all. think about when tiger woods was winning everything. and if the pga had come in and said tiger you are just too good we will pull you out of this deal and then the next guy wins the open or masters. he will know he won that but didn't beat the best that ever played. there is no real win for him. that's the thing we have to remember for these kids there is n no win for everyone
5:27 am
in. this penalized the best for simply earning it and we are not rewarding those who are left because they are not going to have a sense of victory that they have done their best to get where they are. jedediah: larry this is happening in sports but also happening in academics. you see this all the time. >> yes. jedediah: i'm wondering what we are setting up this next generation for? they are going to enter a workforce, they are going to enter a real world that is competitive where you don't always get a trophy, where you don't always get coddled so aren't we doing a huge disservice to that generation. >> listen. we are doing a huge disservice to our entire country because when they do go into business they will find out just as you said jedediah that's not how it works in business. the problem is these businesses are going to have to deal with the tender feelings of all these kids who have graduated and they are used to winning all the time and they are not going to know how to lose, how to handle failure and how to handle the kind of disappointment that comes in the real world and in business. and that's where businesses

5:35 am
this lesson. the democrats always accuse you of what they are doing themselves. they are actually engaged in the biggest cover-up in american history right now, now that president trump has ordered the declassification of materials relayed it to a spying scandal where we know no less than three trump team members were spied on by no less than two u.s. intelligence assets spying on them. that's the real cover-up. jedediah: you know, dan, we have some hypocrisy rolling in from adam schiff. i know this will be shocking to you. first off, check out his tweet on thursday saying while trump stonewalls the public from learning the truth about his obstructions of justice, trump and barr conspire to weaponize law enforcement and classified information against their political enemies. the cover-up has entered a new and dangerous phase. this is unamerican. now, that's fine. but if you look back at december 17, 2016, we have another tweet from adam schiff, and it says this. president obama can and must declassify as much as possible about russia hacking our elections.
5:36 am
rest assured, trump won't. okay. so we live in a social media age now, dan, your stuff is out there. the hypocrisy is right there written in his own words. how does he explain himself. >> you know, it's saying a lot to say this because the d.c. swamp, which is the swampiest up on capitol hill and inside the house of representatives it's the swampest of the swampest in there. and this is the swampiest fraud inside of that group adam schiff. in any sane rational world adam schiff would have already resigned and complete shame with head down and pledged never to run for public office again being that he has told us, don't forget, this for almost two years now he has direct evidence of a crime we now know conclusively was a hoax, was entirely made up. collusion. schiff is a fraud. he has no principles. those tweets are perfect examples of what adam schiff does. is he a liar. griff: dan i pointed out earlier we don't actually
5:37 am
know what will be learned from this declassification. we will find out. when you take a guy like adam schiff who is the chair of the house intelligence committee and he is against transparency essentially if you put those two tweets together. isn't that the fundamental problem? >> quell, you would think. griff, even problemmer as i see it, adam schiff is going to do what benefits adam schiff and his political power which involves being a fraud and not sticking to his principle. we get that nobody trusts politicians anyway. but the problem i have here, griff, is where is the media on this? i mean, "the washington post" isn't their tagline democracy dies in the darkness? they are the darkness. they are the ones right now with the "new york times" running cover for brennan and others in the intelligence agency that are leaking to the "new york times" to get president trump not to declassify information. i mean, think about what i'm telling you. listen, i worship and respect freedom of the press, but they have the freedom to be stupid, too. and unfortunately they have taken us up on the offer.
5:38 am
jedediah: dan, it's because their concern that transparency will lead to a problem for democrats in 2020. that leads to tougher questions for joe biden, potentially questions for president obama. and it breaks down the barrier of this whole narrative that they have been running with for so long. appreciate you being here. that is what is going on. pete: thanks dan, appreciate it. >> thanks, good talking to you. jedediah: we will turn to headlines now. this is a fox news alert. the united nations ruling that russia must immediately release three canadian navy ships. the maritime tribunal 24 detain sailors. russia capturing the vessels back in november. boeing is facing new scrutiny over 737 max jet. the fcc now investigating whether the plane maker properly disclosed tech issues surrounding the aircraft according to bloomberg. grounded the 737 max after two deadly crashes overseas. boeing, which is already under investigation by the faa recently announced it completed a fix for the

5:47 am
conversation. pete: jason is being straight up saying yes we should go for impeachment. >> yeah. then they should put up or shut up. look, the democratic party has been hijacked by the progressive wing. look, these people, they don't have any values. because if they did, they would be consistent on this. this is the same party that criticized the fbi. that said this was institutions of white supremacy. now all these people want to do is protect the institutions. they agree suddenly with spying on campaigns. they agree with abuse of power. and so if they really cared about their value systems that they have lectured for years and years, then he would be on the side of the president. but, instead this is being. >> criticize the fbi? criticize the intelligence community? pete: both sides have done plenty of criticizing. is this ultimately for democrats is this about the norms and the institutions or is this about hating president trump and the fact that he got elected in 2016 because that's what a lot of voters feel. >> no. i think -- well, again, i
5:48 am
think there are many people who have issues with president trump. they have issues with the way he has behaved. i think we, as the same poll that you are citing says we need to hear from bob mueller. pete: we haven't heard from bob mueller? he gave us 400 pages. >> the poll that you are citing says that most americans want to hear from bob mueller in front of congress. so,. >> he released the report. he released the report. couldn't get him in court now you want him in congress. pete: democrats have chosen to do it behind closed doors and not out in the open. if they really wanted to hear from bob mueller, why not have him testify in public. >> no i agree with that actually. that's one place we will find common ground. all of this should be done out in the open for, you know, the public to see. we know that with all the things that are been going on with this administration, there is not a lot of public trust in government. so i totally believe that this should all come out. >> there hasn't been public trust in government for
5:49 am
years. pete: go ahead, lawrence. >> yeah, there hasn't been public trust in government for years. at the end of the day there was a full report done. and what essentially the democrats are saying is because we couldn't get you through the judicial process, now congress -- >> -- there were lots of questions, lawrence. >> there has been ton of investigation. >> there were questions, lawrence with the obstruction. >> investigations. >> again, a lot of these investigations have to do with financial records. pete: i don't know how you obstruct something that didn't happen. i still can't wrap my brain around that one. >> oh, you can absolutely do that you are obstructing the investigation. pete: the investigation into the real cover-up which is the cover-up of spying on a presidential campaign? go ahead, lawrence. >> i'm sorry, you are both screaming. >> the bottom line is who got fired? who got obstructed? the bob mueller finished the investigation and finished the investigation. >> intelligence not to listen to his employers, his boss he had listened, we would be having a different conversation. >> oh, about what the president has done. he tried to obstruct

6:03 am
listen. president trump: for over a year people have asked me to declassify so what i've done is i've declassified everything. it's the greatest hope, probably , in the history of our country, and somebody has to get to the bottom of it. this is all about what happened and when did it happen, because this was an attempted takedown of the president of the united states and we have to find out. we're exposing everything. we're being a word that you like , "transparent" and that's what it's about. again, again, this should never ever happen in our country again. pete: yes and we should have a news media laser focused on that transparency asking the tough questions and as more evidence comes out, pressing even further to say who knew it and when to include vice president joe biden , there's more news reports coming out every day. was he a part of the early meetings where they were looking at what was happening with
6:04 am
russian meddling, did he know about the fbi, the justice department, the cia, it's over in the context of what was done to the trump campaign but not over what it pertains to the political conversation into 2020 not that nonsense on capitol hill about coverup. that's rookie stuff but it's the stuff bill barr is doing digging into the root of this and who ultimately is responsible. jedediah: some democrats having selective lows off the transparency we found, and representative adam schiff on thursday tweeting while trump stonewalls the public about learning the truth about the justice, trump and barr conspire to recognize law enforcement the coverup entered a new and dangerous phase this is un- american and what's interesting is if you look back to december of 2016, adam schiff also tweeted this. president obama can and must declassify as much as possible about russia hacking our election. rest assured trump won't so this is the kind of hipocracy that
6:05 am
infuriates americans and it doesn't only happen on the left. it can happen on the right too but when politicians do this, this is what unfir yates people the most because either you care about transparency across-the-board or you don't. you can't selectively care about transparency when it benefits you or your party because americans do that. griff: that's true in fact you e-mail us and if you believe you're getting the full disclosure of transparency meanwhile dan bongino is another person very upset about this, particularly as it relates to adam schiff. here is what dan said. listen. >> in any sane, rational world, adam schiff would have already resigned in complete shame with his head down and pledged never to run for public office again being he's told us, for almost two years now, he has direct evidence of a crime we now know conclusively was a hoax, entirely made up, collusion. schiff is a fraud and that is a
6:06 am
perfect example of what adam schiff does he's a liar. pete: truth there. griff: keep exposing it and he said the media, pete, should be on top of this and jed, we've been talking about we don't know yet what will become available but the american people want to know exactly what happened and not have some selective details kept from them. pete: and then the polls show they don't want impeachment but the base wants impeachment. they don't want to hear more from mueller but the base wants mueller to testify so if you're a thoughtful democratic leader you're caught between the right thing to do for the country in a base that is still infected by trump derangement syndrome and they're looking closer to impeachment which is a bad political move and isn't based on anything. jedediah: yeah, another hot topic we've been talking about a lot is the difference between people who advocate for a four year college and others are coming out talking about trade schools and the importance of actually developing a specified skillset which you often can do better outside these four year programs and interestingly

jedediah: shopping around has never been easier these days with a big exception of health care. pete: but now the trump adminitration moving to make price comparisons easier to do proposing new tools that help determine out of pocket costs for consumers. griff: here to explain is fox news contributor roy murdock and also contributing editor for national review. welcome to the picnic table. pete: the fox & friends barbecue griff: so what do you make of this? >> i think that it's a great idea. we all have the experience to go into the supermarket or go and buy eggs and look at the price and when it comes to medicine you don't have that. you walk into the hospital and you have the procedure donald three months later you go home and all these bills start popping up and very often, they are huge surprises so what the trump adminitration wants to do is make prices available so people can shop around and if you're in an ambulance heading to the emergency room don't worry about it but if you're getting your elbow fixed or
6:18 am
something else done you have time to look around and compare and say x-rays are $500 here, $100 there, i think i'll go there. pete: this is such a common sense thing but it hasn't been done which means there's got to be a hidden reason why. >> a lot of the hospitals and insurance groups negotiate the prices secretly and they want that covered up. pete: it's not a monopoly. >> a cartel. that sort of thing and i believe in free markets. you can't have a free market without prices. you have to have prices, nobody knows what's going on and this is the only economy where people have no idea what anything costs jedediah: you can have libertarians coming out saying this is a mandate coming down from the government this is just arming people with information. this is the only way. it's the same way that if you go to a restaurant and they list the nutritional facts, they're not telling you what to eat. they are saying this is the information, do as you wish so how do you think this pans out? >> well the next step is the department of health and human services looking for comments from the public.
6:19 am
pete: right. >> the independent women's voice is an excellent website, i wv.org, and i think the comments so far have been positive. griff: we have two that's come inlet me read them to you here. mark from georgia says when i had a routine physical i couldn't find out even when i asked what the cost of the blood work was going to be, that's ridiculous and this one more, rebecca from manuses once i needed an x-ray i was told to use the hospital x-ray department i pushed until i got the rate it was about $500 and the same x-ray cost me about 115 at a local urgent care center and. >> exactly right. imagine if you flew from new york to san diego they didn't tell you the price and three months later united airlines sends a bill, it wouldn't stand for that. pete: and you hope the airline insurance covers that. jedediah: but if they don't, sometimes you go and you pay your co-pay and three-monthings later you're feeling it and
6:20 am
you're like wait hold on a second. >> exactly. i thought i paid that already. jedediah: some people would have made a different decision. griff: it's a game changer. >> i think it's huge because people will be able to make these comparisons and internally hospitals and doctors left to figure out what does this cost, what's the appropriate profit and they have to rationalize the entire health care in dust are. griff: clearly we'll see this added to bernie sanders' rollout >> this will be price transparency for all. pete: what it should be. griff: thanks for joining us. pete: you can pick up anything off the table. pete: he travels the world and his next adventure will take him 2,000 miles across across the ocean. griff: let's go on an adventure. .

6:26 am
the south pole and the top of everett which is really extraordinary, they were super brave because they had no knowledge and i've been quite lucky because i've replicated parts of all of those trips and it started a real love at first of travel, really, and so i have a travel company and we sort of look at those experiences, and what you can do around immersing yourself in from learning and on the back of some of those trips we've raised a ton of money for some really fantastic causes and so the next that i'm doing are basically around the environment and sustainability and the first is a trip we're going to try and kite. jedediah: so cool. >> so it's 2,000 miles and if you think antartica, it's 1.5 types the size of north america. it's a huge piece of real estate and nobody really goes to the middle of it and that's really called the pole of accessability
6:27 am
and literally a handful of people have gone through so we'll try to go from the coast and then to the tip, and because so few people go there, we're doing some fantastic initiatives with some of the major global space agents and so we're doing really important scientific work, and hopefully really highlighted cool story as to us having to sit up and really get involved in this problem that we have. pete: it is amazing but what will you be thinking about day 65 when it's freezing cold and you're kite skiing what does it take to push through those moments? >> first and foremost, you must be very bright. i feel that's kind of important. i've done eight trips to antartica. they are very bizarre places because we are so customed to having massive things that we can think about and distractions from your phone to, you know,
6:28 am
when you are in those environments, you lose all of that so you have all technology that basically goes, and added to that it's completely white, so it's like somebody being in a room which is completely white, and there you stay. so you have to entertain yourself and also, you interact with your team much more which is again a fantastic thing. griff: let me ask you a question though as you're talking about that, what's more difficult the physical challenge of this which can be life threatening or the mental challenge? >> i would definitely say mental, on the extreme, any kind of endurance trip ultimately will come down to mental. i had an incident a few years ago i did an endurance race to the magnetic north pole a 500- mile race and it's a funny thing to set the bar high, deprives people of food and sleep and physically exhausts them and watch the carnage that
6:29 am
happens and then you can sweep people up and it's pretty difficult to do, you're on ice, with polar bears, and it was a fantastic race, seven teams and on about day 30, my mind just said i'm not playing today. it literally just said i don't want to play and every little trick that i knew to try and say , you know, come on get involved, it just wouldn't play so you have to sort of re-learn. griff: well good luck. >> having been a soldier, as well obviously i've had some experience. jedediah: how inspiring, i'm like if he can do that i can do x, y, z. >> thank you. pete: where can folks learn more about your efforts? >> the best place is our travel company and yeah, so if you want to do anything or come on a trip , come and see us. griff: thank you for being here good luck. >> thank you so much. pete: very interesting. well the war of words heating up

6:36 am
claim that the president had broken the law by covering up something, and then walked into a meeting as if he's supposed to just sit down and say would you like an extra cup of tea. that's a serious thing to accuse the sitting president of the united states of a crime, and it was absurd, it was rude, and of course, it's the line of the day and i heard you guys talking about it earlier this morning it's like they're all speaking the same voice, the same script, they've all been handed, but it's ridiculous and it's keeping washington from getting anything done. they need to accept the election results of 2016, start working on things like immigration, start working on the economy, start working on our issues with iran. there's lots of stuff, infrastructure they could be doing but they're not getting it done because they are too busy playing these political games and it's hurting the country. pete: absolutely. jedediah: another hot topic happening around the country is abortion. you have the aclu and planned
6:37 am
parenthood now suing to stop alabama's pro-life law from going into effect. what do you make of these potential lawsuits that come through this battle between the state that want to push pro-life stuff through because they are very concerned about what the left is talking about when it comes to late term abortion and the battle these states have with the court system. >> well a couple of observations. one of which is that science is beginning to help the pro-life movement more than anything. the more we know about the origins of life the more we know about dna, the more we know about the moment of conception when 23 chromosomes from a male and 23 from a female create a totally unique individual. it is not and appendage of the mother not like her appendix or kidney or lung, when said the mother can do whatever she wants with her body. granted she can. this is not her body. this is a separate human life. the second observation is this is moving toward where this really should have been at the beginning, personhood. if this unborn child is a person , a human being, then it

6:39 am
when your average is 81 now you go into the mid 90s and it's only may it doesn't feel good. it doesn't bode well for the summer they had. no precipitation across the southeast at all that same area of high pressure causing that heat is forcing the storm track back across areas of texas and oklahoma, kansas and missouri and you can see that we had big storms overnight again and we have very cold air out across the west. that's all kind of driving this pattern that we're in and today we're going to be seeing more severe weather across areas of the plains, take a look at the high plains, and areas of oklahoma, texas into kansas we'll see a few more tornadoes again later on today. precipitation wise, over this week, we're going to see a lot more rain in that exact same spot and our flooding concerns we're watching especially along the arkansas river right now that will crest at levels we've never seen before that causes a lot of damage more rain unfortunately coming in this week. jedediah over to you. jedediah: we've got headlines for you coming in now and we begin with a fox news alert.

6:47 am
society and now something that i think is even more remarkable is not only is his story only available to him in a capitalist society it's made possible by some of the institutions in that society that he villifies the most and what i mean by that is if you look at bernie sanders story it begins with him purchasing his first home and he goes on to use mortgages to continue to build wealth that way. now that's not an incredible feet. that's what a lot of americans know as a best way for asset accumulation for their own households but the incredible thing is it's not possible without the help of banks and lenders and bernie sanders talks about how big banks and wall street are the enemy but without those he would have never been able to turn his salary as a mayor in vermont, $33,000 a year into a $49,000 mortgage and it is a benefit of the society that people are allowed to access that leveraging in a way that allows them to build their own wets over time.

6:49 am
millennials certainly have felt that because they came of age during the recession they didn't have those same opportunities and bernie sanders i think takes advantage of that by saying that the world is different now than it was before. jedediah: thanks so much for joining us we'll see how he does and be back with his personal stories. >> thank you have a great weekend. jedediah: you too. our annual barbecue bash is heat ing up on the fox square, up next, pork ribs at the top barbecue spots across the country. >> ♪ ♪ you have moderate to e plaque psoriasis, every day can begin with flakes. 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...
