partnership as we work together to bring this noble vision to life. >> as you just heard the president say front and centers the herb of north korea. president trump saying he wa by japanese families impacted by abduction by the north korean regime adding he supports shinzo abe meeting one-on-one with kim jong un trying to brings those victims home. he was not bothered by recent short range missile testing by north korea. as for trade the two countries are set tore talks on u.s. autos. while addressing the 70 billion-dollar trade surplus japan holds over the u.s. including investment by japanese auto makers in u.s. cities. all of this becoming after president trump became the first put to meet the japanese emperor before he ascended to the throne this month. walking along the red carpet courtyard of the imperial palace.

that relationship behind away from cameras and away from the pool. we will see what comes. pete: we have seen time and time again he prefers that one-on-one time with the top dog. that's where deals can be made. we will seal what comes outs of this trade relationship and enhancing our military alliance a lot at stake in tokyo. griff: they used to say politics end at the water's edge that's been out the door and for quite some time. yesterday and sunday as democrats attacked the president. more talk of impeachment on the campaign trail. the president had a press conference fighting back against what he believes is his desire to be transparent. take a livin'. >> there has never been a president more transparent. the mueller report came out. no obstruction, no collusion, no nothing. it's a beautiful report. the democrats cannot understand what happened. they really thought they had some people on their side. they were very disappointed. i will say that that without

question we have done a job like few presidents have done. i'm only interested in what's good for our country, very important. pete: that was earlier this morning. it's interesting you hear the narrative from the left that they are getting under his skin. i think it's opposite. this guy has the thickest skin consideration the investigations and the others. when he hears a question, he answers it. in that case they tried to investigate me why can't we move past. jedediah: this has been going on it seems like my entire lifetime. no end in sight considering what's going on. he calls tort declassification of documents. he calls for transparency is he credit sided for that foe doesn't call for transparency is he criticized on that. they did a full investigation. tons of taxpayer money went into mueller probe. no conspiracy, still not enough. if i were pump president trump, i would are far more infuriated than what i have seen him from him. lucky i'm not in the white

house right now. when does it end? >> you don't want russians intruding in our elections some points you have to close the chapter and say there was no conspiracy here by the campaign and move onto the issues. democrats seem unwilling and unable to do that. griff: last night in my hotel room i poured a cold beer and turned in to pete's modern warrior because this is memorial day and really you sat down with four bad ass war fighters.

we will share your photos throughout the program. jedediah: absolutely. pete: we also have to move on to some news. we start with a fox news alert. just moments ago in tokyo president trumps the guest of honor at state banquet hosted by japan's new emperor. jedediah: todd in the newsroom. >> our alliance with japan is steadfast and ironclad. the president just a few hours ago addressing a series of topics following his talks with the japanese prime minister. >> the prime minister and i continue our close consultation in pursuit of peace and security on the korean peninsula. the essence of our approach is peace through strength. we are currently negotiating a bilateral trade agreement that would benefit both of our committees. i look forward to continuing our tremendous partnership as we work together to bring

this noble vision to life. >> of course as you heard front and center the issue of north korea. president trump saying he was moved by japanese families impacted by abductions by the north korean regime. adding he supports shinzo abe meeting with kim jong un in part to try to bring those victims home. he was not bothered by recent short range missile testing by north korea. as for trade the two countries set to be tariffs while addressing the 70 billion-dollar trade surplus japan currently holds over the u.s. including investment by japanese auto makes i automaker. cities. we told you about the additional. all of this came after the president trump became the first world leader to meet the emperor. the president and emperor walking along the red carp in the courtyard.

nuclear weapons where they wouldn't even be in violation in just a very short period of time. what kind of a deal is that. there were other things were bad. it's not who i am in favor of or who i am not. i can tell you joe biden was a disaster his administration with president obama. they were basically a disaster when it came to so many things. whether it was economy, whether it was military defense, no matter what it was they had a lot of problems. so i'm not a fan. pete: predictably he has received criticism for those comments overseas. this is a guy who punches and counter punches. does things differently, speaks bluntly. never been a fan of the iran deal. it's a shared nuclear threat. and he says this is a bad deal. we don't want either of them to have nukes. talk to north korea. we will be stronger on iran. hey, if you like what they did with the iran deal you will like joe biden.

that's the larger point he is making. jillian: as we have been saying is he going to have to answer for the obama legacy. a lot of questions to answer. i think it's interesting. president trump is going to have a lot of support on iran because many, many people around the country dry had a really hard time with the iran deal and held the obama administration rightfully accountable for that i'm curious to see whether or not joe biden has to answer these tough questions that president trump is initiating overseas. griff: one take away you can see is they help joe biden stay in the front of the package. when you get mentioned it negates the rest of them. we will see former vice president biden agrees. we go back inside to jillian with headlines. jillian: cleanup gets underway today after a powerful tornadoes leaves two people dead. take a look at these before and after photos of a hotel in el reno, west of oklahoma city. the twister reducing it to rubble saturday night. jeff paul will have a live

long history that predates even the united states constitution. >> the old guard is literally the old guard. it is the oldest active duty regiment in the army going to 1784. one of the uniforms is the revolutionary war uniform. before the old guard came to arlington in 1848 they were serving on the front lines of almost every war all the way up to world war ii. story of america as a nation. brian: senator cotton found himself at fort myer where he trained for the high honor of becoming a member of the old guard. >> you served here for how many months. >> served here for about 16 months in 2007 and 2008. every thursday before memorial day weekend called flag -- every grave site in the cemetery gets a flag in front of it. my first flag day i didn't know the secret trick which was to have the bottle cap into your hand put it into the ground. >> that small story is a

for lieutenant colonel mark stratton. i try to visit mark's grave every time i'm back to arlington. important to remember patton's old line we shouldn't just mourn the fact that these men and women died. we should celebrate the fact that they lived and the kind of life they lived. the service and sacrifice. griff: i will tell you a powerful piece there it's time to bring in arkansas senator tom cotton. jedediah: senator, welcome. >> thank you. griff: we commend your duty to the old guard i must say in full disclosure i got to witness it one time and it's quite a powerful thing. this memorial day, what is your message to america? >> on this memorial day, we remember those who gave what abraham lincoln called the last full measurable of devotion. those who laid down their life starting at lexington and concord and come up to afghanistan and iraq today. so we could live in safety and freedom remember their families and honor their

sacrifice as well. jedediah: senator, we saw a video ned yesterday of the old guard putting the flag down in the pouring rain. it was unbelievable, actually. when you see something like that, i mean, i can't help but be internally moved when i see images like that in video or photos, what comes to mind when you visit that? >> the old guard has been the guardians at arlington national cemetery for 71 years now. and everything they do in the cemetery is designed to honor those who are fallen. and no matter the weather. be it driving rainstorm. washington had on thursday or blizzards in the middle of winter or blading heat and humidity in the summer. they're always going to perform that mission. what kind of sacrifice is it as one tomb guard told me to walk out and guard sacrifice of those unknown. they didn't just give up their lives and gave up very identity.

it is a beautiful report. the democrats cannot understand what happened. they really thought they had some people on their side. they were very disappointed. i will say this, that without question we have done a job like few presidents have done. i'm only interested in what is good for our country. that's very important. jedediah: he will take some heat for that obviously because some people he is doing it over there in japan, not on american soil. president's often times democrats and republicans go, they are critical and talk u.s. politics, they are critical democrats being critical of republicans, republicans critical of democrats and they are not using it on u.s. grounds they take heat. griff: it was a democrat that asked him a question, i mean news reporter. they bring it up. he is willing to talk about it. such a disservice has been done this president from the beginning. when you cooperate with the mueller investigation, you gave them white house counsel, he was interviewed 30 hours.

op-ed you wrote. what is your message to america today? >> one thing i always want to remind people during memorial day is that the folks that we're trying to remember, the people in uniform that we're trying to remember, is that, yes, they are people and when they sacrifice their lives for us, to me it is more than they just sacrifice their lives, they sacrifice their future, they sacrifice their hopes, they sacrifice their dreams, what they were going to do, the ideas they were going to have. they gave those all away, gave away their dreams so we could live our dreams. that is something very meaningful. the guys i lost on the battlefield, mark lee, ryan jobe, even when we returned from the battlefield, losing chris kyle and most recently my brother seth stone, who was killed in a parachuting accident, these guys, they gave everything they could for their country and, for those of house

served along side them every day is memorial day. we think about them every single day. i think about them every single day, try to live my life in such a way that honors the sacrifices they made. pete: jocko, that is a good point. you talk about the brothers that you lost. what do you choose to remember about them? >> that is another thing very easy to slip into. it is easy to slip into being sad about what happened and feeling morose about the situation and it's good to always try to remember how awesome these guys were, how funny they were, the kind of jokes they made, clowning around, pranks that we played on each other, what i tried to remember on top of the sacrifice they made. these guys were fun loving guys had a great time doing what they did, wouldn't have lived any other way as warriors. jedediah: jocko, i loved your op-ed, i found it incredibly

incredibly motivating, and just, just fun-loving people and to think they were just these hardened warriors out on the battlefield, that is what their life consisted of, that is just not true. these guys were not, they were all a bunch of comedians, all funny and all lived life to the fullest. pete: the books you have written, way of the warrior, i bought them for my kids. contrast to the wimpy kids. check out the kids, all the carriers i'm told are named after brothers you served with or lost in combat, correct? >> the way of the warrior kid series, the main character is mark after mark lee. i wrote another book for younger kids, mike and the dragons, that is named after mikey mansour. i will go through the whole crew. make sure they're all remembered in that way. jedediah: thanks so much for being here. you strike a beautiful balance
