tan. brian: soccer parent tan watching three days and watching traffic both ways. i know you guys were working. griff: we were here working. a lot of news. one of the stories we did continual tragically continues today and is that true weather out in the midwest. brian: stunning. straight to a fox news alert. powerful tornadoes touching down in the midwest. this happened overnight. millions are without power. first responders are searching for people trapped in their homes in dayton, ohio, after a twister tore through there. >> a tornado just hit our house. oh my god. oh my god. we were just sitting out here. jedediah: the force of that tornadoes in dayton so powerful it wrapped this car around a light pole. griff: another tornadoes destroying homes like this it one in is he lynna, ohio.

brian: he probably only needs 90 minutes to sleep to catch up. jedediah: calling it unforgettable. griff: mark making his first appear and on "fox & friends." good morning. >> griff, it's good to be here in your seat this morning. good morning, guys. president trump is expected back in washington during the 2:00 hour. he is on his wa way meeting with officials on [inaudible] of topics including trade and north korea. the president says the trip was a success. he tweeted, quote, meetings with prime minister abe went very well and getting to spend time with the new elm emperor and empress of japan was a great honor. they had a chance to visit with service members living overseas during the holiday weekend. he spoke with marines and sailors on board the uss warp. the president praising their work in the region said the

relationship between the u.s. and japan is only getting stronger. >> we celebrate the u.s.-japan alliance and the friendship between our freedom-loving peoples. our armed forces train and serve together around the world, including right here, very special. >> and while the president also had a chance to visit shafl ship docked near with the japanese prime minister. the president is due back later today going back to japan later next month for the g 20 summit. guys? griff: hurt, mark. thank you. brian: mark meredith taking griff's seat. griff is taking steve's seat. griff: steve will be on his way back. he was out in oklahoma at the folds of honor golf tournament raising thousands of dollars. annual amazing memorial day event. brian: over the weekend one theme, jed, the president in japan. jedediah: in japan, talking a great deal about the strength and the might of the u.s. military talking to

troops and check this out and see how the responded so vigorously to president trump. >> a tough bunch of people, right? >> as president i have no higher honor than serving as your commander-in-chief and extraordinary men and women of the personal armed forces. together, these officers are leading the most fearsome group ever american warriors this side of the pacific. you defend our freedom, our families. and you defend our great american flag. [cheers] you show the world the force of american might and american heart. and you prove across these parls perilous waters there is no match to the american navy and the united states marines.

[cheers] thank you to the proud sailors and marines of uss warp. [cheers] god bless our military an and god bless the united states. jedediah: that was the president on board the uss wasp. i thought it was a great speech by him. super important for the president to honor the troops. he always has such a great reception from the military because they really feel like he has their back. i thought this was phenomenal to see and witness. griff: that applause you heard that raucous applause is really something when you have been overseas and i had the fortunate opportunity to do so and see four deployed troops to have their commander-in-chief show up is really something special. brian: the president was tweeted fantastic by the japanese leader, maybe his best friend in the world outside of benjamin

netanyahu and prime minister abe. first world leader to do it. president trump takes all questions at all times. he brought up north korea and missile launch. listen, i don't consider it a big deal. japan did. when he brought up trade, he said i'm going to wait until august. we will get something done because they have elections. when they come up to iran, i think this is the most interesting. japan has good relations with iran. i wasn't aware of that maybe can i go over there with a message and do something with rouhani. am i optimistic, no. the president will use one friendship to talk to one adversary. my only worry we are focused just on nuclear. and we have to worry about what they do with their money. they finance terror. when they're flush with tax they finance terror groups and right now they don't have interest. that's why they are erupting the way they do. i hope the president continues to say i'm just as worried about their terror activities as i am nuclear. griff: he did make a good

point is he not seeking regime change in iran which was perhaps the take away in terms of policy front which, of course, japan and the u.s. can be more on the same page. jedediah: how did friends at home spend their memorial day friends@foxnews.com. very important weekend to honor those who made the greatest sacrifice to celebrate freedoms for us. did you celebrate people in your family who had served? tell us. brian: did you talk politics around the grill and that probably came up. on the democratic side a month away from first debates. 23 people and one leader. joe biden. a fascinating look from joe biden how he is different from the other 22 he is not doing much. that's the whole thing. he has extremely low profile. he is not doing a lot of major events. certainly not doing a town hall. is he not doing many tv

interviews. part-time are speculating that they want joe scripted and less ad-libbing. griff: you are under seeing it. he is not doing anything. is he clearly the leader but "the washington post" did a deep dive. joe biden's campaign of limited exposure. how long can he keep it up and you go into it and it's this light public schedule unique position of campaign universal name recognition and high favorability ratings among democrats the former vice president does not need to introduce himself to voters like nearly every other candidate and as the leader in the early polls he can attracted media attention even without the splashy events here's the problem if you have been on the campaign flail new hampshire and des moines, iowa. you have to go out there and shake hands. you meet somebody 17 times before you decide whether you like them or not. i would suggest to you that president trump gave biden

the name sleepy joe. well, he is doing just that is he literally not showing up. and perhaps it is as brian suggests, you know, some speculate it's because they want to limit any opportunities to create a gratify. jedediah: he is losing the opportunity to redefine himself. many are saying this is not his moment if you look at the the buttigiegs and people thriving really in the dr. party have this fash left appeal. i think joe biden is worried about how is he going to answer for this long record talk about the crime bill. maybe he will be asked about his role when it comes to what was found in the mueller report. challenging questions. he obviously had to answer for the obama legacy. what is he going to do? meeting behind the scenes with high level fundraising people and focusing on the cash so far ahead of the pack it doesn't matter? i think he needs to get out there and talk about what he would do as president. then the thing i hear most from democratic voters they have no idea what joe would do if he actually got elected. no idea. brian: you know one thing if

the lead shah rinks he will speak. joe biden has to defend himself. crime bill front and center. he basically tweeted out at the president if you support that bill you are really disqualified. guess who else agrees with the president? maybe 22 other democrats at which time he is going to have to defend himself. we saw him try to defend himself against the touchy grabby era he went through up until two weeks ago he was going through it. defend himself on anita hill. and defend himself on a crime bill. pumping out all these speeches that he gave on that bill a lookout of people term as racially insensitive today. that will force him out. unscripted situation in the past he has fell flat on his face. meanwhile, if you are looking to see who is more likely going to win in this next election. the "new york times" did a story using three separate models. in all those models because of the strong economy and

because of the advantage of being an incumbent, donald trump wins in 2020. jedediah: that's another thing joe biden is going to have to answer to, too. how do you go out there and advocate for policies that are the complete opposite to the policies that have led. brian: take credit for it. jedediah: can he try but i don't think it can work. can you say all this started under president obama. we initiated this. the bottom line is people weren't feeling that relief and impact in their pocketbooks and additional table under president obama. they are going to say no, this actually didn't. this is recent. these growths are recent. griff: if you listened to jack kingston who was on the 2016 campaign. here is what he says about that. >> he has absolutely moved the needle and changed the lives of americans. reagan would say are you better off now than you were four years ago? donald trump is going to ask that question over and over again. there is not a democratic candidate on the ballot who can say oh yeah can i do better than what you are doing. the economy is owned by donald trump. he is going to make it the

main message of his re-election. brian: it's very interesting steve rattner does a story a combination of a favorable economy and the normal advantages of being an incumbent then have you ray a professor at yale. he says according to his model. it should be as high as 66%. a scenario where trump won in 2016. mark zandi said he did 12 models and trump comes out on top in all 12 of them. jedediah: um-huh. brian: microanalytics formula. steve: james carville problem the economy, stupid. brian: real clear average around 42%. that does not show a lot. jedediah: someone is waiting patiently to give us major headlines and that person is jillian. jillian: we do have serious news from overseas. begin with a fox news alert. two people are dead and 16 others hurt after a stabbing spree at school bus stop in japan. the attacker carried a knife in each hand saying i will

kill you. 11-year-old ma girl and man were killed. abe outraged by the attack. president trump send his condolences saying all people stand with japan. michael avenatti faces two judges today. being arraigned on charges that he stole nearly $300,000 from stormy daniels. >> avenatti will be back in a new york city courtroom facing accusations he tried to extort nike. if convicted on all counts, he could face 69 years in prison. avenatti plans to plead not guilty. that's a quick look at your headlines. i will be back in a bit with more. brian: thanks, jillian. griff: thousand johns and hundreds of millions of dollars coming to arkansas. jedediah: the arkansas governor hutchison secret to economic prosperity? we'll ask him next. ♪ working for a living ♪ living and a working

about the state of the economy. everyone says it's good. now who gets the credit for it? >> i though president trump likes to take credit for the economy and economic growth and the low unemployment numbers. president trump inherited an economy from obama-bide administration that was given to him. brian: is that true? >> well, there has been a totally different approach to the economy under president trump regulations have been reduced. given more authority back to the states in terms of environmental regulations. we can protect our environment. it doesn't have to all come from washington. tax cuts and jobs act. brian: you are saying the policies are different from his. how can you take credit for the result? >> the policies are different under president trump he deserves to take a lot of credit for our moving economy. we impacted at the state level we compete and our economy is growing in arkansas and we manage it well. brian: you have a huge challenge and it's the flooding in arkansas. what do you need? how bad is it?

across the trial today. the state is suing johnson and johnson accusing them of fueling the crisis with a fentanyl patch. in hit home with next guest. her son austin became addicted to prescription opioids to help with his pain from playing football at the university of oklahoma. he died from overdose in 2011 at just 22 years old. joining me now is gail bucks. thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me this morning. jedediah: first of all i want to tell you we are deeply sorry for the loss of your son. i am so intrigued by this story that the way that he became addicted. he was so young. and your take on it. tell us a little bit about austin and how this all happened for him. >> it started with, i believe with and i say i believe because we did not know austin was abusing prescription drugs until the day he passed away. i believe it stemmed from many sports injuries starting with when he was a sophomore in high school he

had a back injury that plagued him the rest of his career. a knee injury and an elbow injury. he had to have a couple of different surgeries and i believe mentally and physically he just became very vulnerable to opioids when he had his first opioid. jillian: one thing have you said that's really interesting to me you don't blame the doctors. why is that? >> i do not. austin had very good doctors. he had the same doctors. he handled his injuries with physical therapy. it was his last injury that was a ruptured disk in his back right before his junior season that i believe he got his first taste of opioids. he had a minor prescription

at that time. and i believe it was just a very vulnerable time for him that catapulted him into his addiction that later i was defined he did have an addiction. jedediah: who do you hold responsible in this case? do you fault the companies at all for the way they administer drugs and the way they do not or don't potential side effects? who is responsible in a case like this. >> i absolutely hold the companies responsible. they were not telling the doctors the truth in regard to how addictive these medications were i think they were telling doctors that maybe 1% of people could possibly become addicted. and i think that it was just around austin it was a perfect storm of events.

opioid a feeling of well-being and helped him through his pain. >> we have this trial that's going to be going on against johnson and johnson. and we have a statement from january senne a division of johnson and johnson. they state the allegations made against our company are baseless and unsubstantiated, opioid abuse and addiction are serious public health issues. we are committed to being part of the ongoing dialogue and to doing our part to find ways to address this crisis. when you hear a statement like that, what is your hope as this lawsuit -- you know, what do you want to see happen here? >> we need to have money, in oklahoma for treatment, we do not have enough treatment beds in oklahoma. and i'm hoping that any moneys that could be gotten through this lawsuit could

be used for treatment, for research, for helping families that have been disseminated monetarily going through treatment. jedediah: i appreciate you speaking out on this opioid crisis and your story is so touching to many. they read it and hear about it if it could happen to this child it could happen to my child it. could happen to my nephew, my niece when you hear about the way this plays out. thank you so much for sharing this deeply personal story to yours to battle this opioid crisis. appreciate you being here today. >> thank you. thanks for having me. jedediah: of course. it turns out the truth really have out there. what navy pilots are now revealing about ufos coming up. ♪ spirit in the sky ♪ recommend to the spirit in the sky ♪ where you going to go when you die ♪ when you die

griff: notable cases on the docket include adding the citizenship question to the 2020 census and religious liberties in what's known as the cross case. jedediah: here to break down how they impact you fox news senior judicial analyst and host of liberty file on fox nation judge andrew napolitano. >> just got a call from justice kavanaugh and looking to see a picture. [laughter] judge: i can't say it with a straight face ufo what they look like. brian: have you ever seen a tufo before. >> no. and i can't stop thinking about it. these are two cases one involves whether the federal government actually the department of commerce can ask for the citizenship status of everybody that lives in a house. three federal court judges have already said no. so the trump administration has appealed that to the supreme court. the supreme court is not ruling on it today. the supreme court is likely to announce whether or not it will take the case. if it doesn't take the case,

there will be no citizenship question on the census. if it takes the case, then they have got to wait to print the census forms until after the supreme court rules. the earliest would be late october, early november. jedediah: what's the argument against it? why do the judges say no? >> the argue. against it is two-fold. one is the first amendment which protects freedom of speech also protects forced speech. it protects you from being forced to answer a question. remember that one library from the movie when the cops arrest somebody you have the right to remain silent you do have the right to remain silent they can't make you answer. other argument is people will answer this question untruthfully for fear they'll be deported and that will result in undercount which will produce less federal assistance so the city in which. brian: keep in mind, too. is you have the right to remain silent or the free speech should be for americans.

judge: freedom of speech is for anybody who interacts with an american government whether an citizen or not. the other issue and again this is not a case that the supreme court hats decided to take and they will announce today whether or not to take it. whether or not a park in maryland can have a cross in it, which was erected at the end of world war i with private funds taken over by the park eventually to managed. built by private funds in memory of those who lost their lives in world war i. this is literally widows and children with nickels and dimes building this thing in the early 20s. griff: this hits close to home i live washington, d.c. just outside of there and grieving mothers try to erect this statue in honor

of fallen his or hers. try to take this over o what is the argument against taking it down? >> the argument against taking it down is that it is an historic symbol that has been. griff: griff i'm somewhat argument for tearing it down. >> a group of atheists who have argued that the government should have nothing to do with conspicuous religiosity. just like you wouldn't put a jewish star or symbol of some other religion there you shouldn't put a cross. jedediah: judge, that cross does not establish a national religion though judge i agreed. jedediah: is the issue taxpayer dollars? >> the reason i think the supreme court will take this case is because, again, the federal judges that have ruled on this have all ruled that the cross has to come down. i think the supreme court is going to come down with a new test for when religious symbols can exist on public property. take out a dollar bill from a wallet in your pocket and it says on it in god we

trust. every court, including my own started with god save the united states and this honorable court. griff: the scripture says valor, honorable, doesn't have a religious inscription. >> correct. i think the supreme court just a prediction is going to rule that this does not establish a national religion and it's the type of commemoration. brian: ripple effect to that if they say have you got to take it down. judge: you are exactly right because there are many of these around the country which is probably the goal of. jedediah: sure. judge: now back to the ufos. jedediah: thanks, judge. brian: coming up straight ahead. apple cei tim cook's words you have wisdom for graduates. his words failed you. >> we spent too much time debating. we have been too focused on the fight and not focused enough on progress.

jedediah: apple ceo tim cook telling graduates his generation failed because they spent too much time debating. griff: next guest says that's a terrible message. michael knowles joins us now. why did you make of that speech. >> is he right that his generation has failed us. it's for all the wrong reasons and it's because they give terrible advice such as. this you would think that the ceo of the world's most valuable company would have some words of wisdom for graduating students. unfortunately thought. tim cook says that we need to spend less time debating and more time focused on progress. he seems unaware that in the united states the way that we get progress is precisely through rigorous debate. but, unfortunately, the words that he is saying is exactly what we're hearing from big tech, big corporate america on universities all around the country which is that we need to stifle free speech. we need to stifle debate and focus on progress as the progressives define it. this is ironic because this is the opposite of the

advice that steve jobs, tim cook's pred says sore gave in 2005 at his stanford university address. it's the opposite of apple's motto. their motto used to be think different. now what we are being told by elites throughout the country. think the same. think what we tell to you think. jedediah: we have a clip of steve jobs at that commencement. take a listen, don't be tracked by dogma which is living by the results of other people's thinking. don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. jedediah: what's interesting to me here steve jobs is talking to an audience like there may be dissent among that group. they may disagree. tim cook is talking like everyone is on the same mission. they are all in agreement. that collectiveness mindset that i detest. >> of course. you are hearing this from a major ceo. major technology innovators in the history of the world

steve jobs. you are hearing at university where free speech is extraordinarily under threat. have you censorship of big tech and have you censorship on campus. don't be by dogma. think differently and for yourself. that speech was 14 years ago. how much our culture has changed in 14 years and certainly not for the better. griff: quickly, michael, do you think the students took anything away from that speech. >> fortunately students on campus these days i think are mostly plugged in and listening to their iphones and ipods, maybe that's success of steve jobs. i hope they weren't listening to that message. i hope they engage in rigorous debate and old apple motto which is think different. jedediah: thank you, michael. appreciate it. griff: judges both here live in the next hour. jedediah: and benjamin

anchorage, alaska. pit stop to refuel air force 1. he will be back in washington, d.c. this afternoon. while it was tuesday in tokyo, it was still memorial day in the united states when president trump spoke to hundreds of sailors and marines aboard the uss wasp earlier today. the president thanked them for their service and tribute to all of those died over the decades in service of their country and defense of freedom. listen here. >> memorial day links every grateful american heart in eternal tribute to grave souls who gave their last breath to our nation. today the unbreakable resolve of those heroes lives on in every american who wears our great uniform. >> the president promised that he is going to keep building up the military. saying that he has in the works five new guided missile destroyers. four fast attack submarines

and 163 f-35 joint strike fighters. he also kept up the drum beat against the new electric cat that punishment system on the new ford class aircraft carriers being built claiming it has been be-set by problems unlike the current of current aircraft carriers. in realtime the president making an executive decision that probably gave the navy brass a heart attack. listen to what he said. >> so i think i'm going to put an order when we build a new aircraft carrier we are going to use steam. i'm going to put out an order we are going to use steam. >> president trump also heard back today from iran on his suggestion yesterday that japanese prime minister shinzo abe could act as a mediator to try to bring the united states and iran together for talks. b team sounds for bolton

economic terrorism hurting people and causing tension in the region. action, not words, will show whether or not that's president trump's intent. the president made it clear in japan that he is willing to sit down with the iranian leadership and as he did, with kim jong un, the president made it clear yesterday that he is not seeking regime change in iran. but he is seeking catapult change with new aircraft carriers. they put a lot of money in electrocatapult system if they have to rip it out and put in steam, i don't want to be there when they give that order. griff: wow, john, hey, very quickly. over the weekend we also saw he immersed himself into their culture. particularly the tsunami mow wreflght. he brought this 7-foot trophy to give to the winner. what's been the reaction to of the president's visit? >> every japanese we run into appreciates the fact

that president trump was here. when you saw the reaction at the sumo wrestling match when the president got up there and gave out the very first america president's cup to the winner to the 25-year-old weighs in at 390 pounds. the place erupted in applause. i think, you know, unlike maybe some other places in the world where the president may not receive such a warm reception here in tokyo, at least, he had a very, very warm reception. he has a tremendous friendship with shinzo abe. he will be back at the end of june because the g-20 summit is down the coast in osaka. we will see that reaction again i'm sure. brian: i will try to be the second best question you get today. so, john, this is what i found interesting. so many times these things are scripted we know exactly what everybody is going to say. this the president said we had a trade deal at love

differences we will work it out. when it comes to rockets being sent out i don't do it. abe did. it didn't seem to hurt the relationship. >> could they actually be scripting a good cop, bad cop when it comes to north korea? >> i don't know if shinzo abe are script ago good cop, bad cop. john bolton and the president might be doing that what's interesting is if you look at the president's language about the missile firings it, stands in sharp contrast with shinzo abe but right in line with what the leadership of south korea is saying. south korea and the president really want to keep down tensions on the koreans peninsula at the same time i think the president wants kim to know that the united states is keeping a sharp eye on him. john bolton is his bulldog. you have bolton saying violation of u.n. scun u. security council resolutions but president trump saying i trust my friend kim jong un that he is going to make

good on the promises that he gave me in the singapore summit and it's unfortunate that in hanoi we didn't get an agreement done. so, i think that he kind of being worked both ways there. the president is going to carry the day. even when abe said it was a violation of u.n. security council resolutions, he said but i'm going to put my trust in president trump that he is doing the right thing here when it comes to north korea. brian: all right. john. great job. back in the states. jedediah: thanks, john. >> in indicates you missed it this weekend griff would like a 70-pound trophy for something it. doesn't meter what it is. he would compete for it but he wants it for something. griff: not sumo wrestling but maybe the broad jump. brian: let's talk illegal immigration and border wall. wall.grif griff: undeniable a crisis at the border and what to do with these people. they are releasing them as

fast. no place to put them. running out of places to process them. we saw in the 2020 democratic field we saw kirsten gillibrand say. brian: let them all in. griff: i wouldn't detain them. beto o'rourke was on face the nation this weekend. here is what he had to say about what to do with the islashrumasylumseekers. >> we know they have a 99% chance of meeting where i thursday dates and appointments with ice and costs us a tenth of what we pay to keep them in detention and in custody. griff: that's incredible to me because they are signatures on the border. beto o'rourke knows the facts and we looked back at 2017, the most recent available data here is what they say about court attendance. 28% did not show up for

court. 41385 were no shows. here is the point, brian. this is 2017 to today. it has become unpress debted number of family units that are showing up. what the border patrol says behind closed doors and i wish they would say it publicly more often wouldn't we just release adult single males into the community it is going to fundamentally change the sovereignty of the country on that border. jedediah: no one challenges him on that to come out and say 99% of asylum seekers show up? no one thought to say i have never heard 99% echoed out there other than beto? doesn't that seem odd to you with all of this talk? if 99% of asylum seekers showed up for court we wouldn't have all this discussion about asylum seekers you would assume everyone was falling along. the whole point is a lot of them don't show infor court

and disappear into the system and no way to track who is worthy of getting that asylum and who isn't. everything dissipates. brian: xavier those people coming here legally and tooted right bay. many will use or social safety kit whether it's medicine kale or emergency region or unemployment. the home lftz people you are stepping over the street on. weave are buried in deficit. is now the poferred is out basically if i wanted to to el salvador or honduras i know how to get there they are entering out into our country. these politicians who say that's okay. so let's let every country come here? why should we draw the line at just these five -- three countries or five countries or six countries. the word is out that you have got to come here now

because they are going to sober up soon. i'm not even convinced we are going to somebody you are up soon. the courts stopped the building of a wall. money has been allocated the president says for our defense. they stopped the building of that wall over the weekend. not going to get the 400 miles this year work its way through the courts supposed to start saturday building in the yuma section of arizona. griff: 51 miles. >> gregg: couldn't stop saturday because of the ciewrts. funnel people let alone stop people. this is not one of the hard things that we do. griff: you make a good point the immigration system in this country is fundamentally broken. the border wall cannot do it alone he had. jedediah: had to battle the democrats and now the courts. he is doing it because he has aligned himself with people actually on the border and come to him and said we need your assistance. >> democrats try to make a

point thanelsd republicans are sober them in. border patrol sits there every day and overwhelmed. these men and women will walk off. they will leave. nobody gets paid enough to deal with what they're dealing with right now. griff: do you know who gets paid a lot to do headlines. brian: gets paid a lot i don't know about sober. jillian: very questionable. get you caught up on news starting with a fox news alert. branelsd new video shows catastrophic damage people are waking up to in dayton, ohio. two powerful tornadoes touching down near the city overnight. >> a tornado just hit our house. oh my god. oh my god. we were just sitting out here. jillian: two touched down in dayton and 12 in total that we know of. massive twisters hit out state of ohio leaving 5 million people without power. we have a live report in dayton in a few of minutes.

>> president trump inherited annual economy from obama-biden administration that was given to him. just like he inherited everything else in his life. just like everything else he has been given in his life, he is in the process of squandering that as well. [cheers] brian: joe biden wants to take credited for the economy forming under president trump. can he do that? next guest andy puzder ceo and author of this book the capitalist come back he joins us now. he said hey, i turned this thing around and it been collapsing under george bush. we began to make some progress and now donald trump just happens to be benefiting from that progress. >> when obvious-biden took office, the white house predicted they would have 4% g.d.p. growth in 2009, 2010, 2012. it never happened. they never had a year of even 3%. really what biden is saying

is we had these great economic policies during obama-biden they didn't produce growth until after donald trump and then only after he cut taxes and reversed regulations which reversed the policies of obama-bide. i have to laugh every time i hear him say it. brian: how do you have this growth president obama did do you have a magic wand. evidently he does. over 3% growth and people thought the first quarter would be hardest. do you believe quantitative easing flooding the marketed with cash with zero percent interest rate didn't that help boost this economy? a major way. >> tremendously. the dollar has gotten a lot stronger because the fed has reduced the money supply by reversing the quantitative easing. when you do that you reduce exports. foreign countries can't buy our goods because the dollar is worth so much. harder to purchase with currencies.

that significantly advanced g.d.p. growth when obama was president. he still never hit 3%. it's restricted g.d.p. growth under president trump. the last three quarters if the fed had stopped raising interest rates last september g.d.p. growth 3% higher. 3.2 last year and 3.5 this year. brian: brad parscale says capitalist seems to have a negative connotation it's free market. social seems to be kindless. people don't understand what socialism actually meads. government controlled market. are you going to change your language. >> i will continue to use capitalism. benevolent and system encourages greed. gallup poll came out when you substitute free market for capitalism and the numbers are spectacularly in favor of free market. brian: i think the president should find a way to get you on to his staff. thank you so much.

>> scariest moment of my life, honestly. we're lucky to be here. brian: wow, while you were sleeping last night the tornadoes were not. powerful tornadoes touched down in the midwest leveling homes, causing catastrophic damage. 12 twisters hitting across ohio overnight catherine bodak from our affiliate in cincinnati joins us from dayton ohio. one of the hardest hit cities as she looks around with the sun up. catherine? >> >> hi, brian. a scenario playing out now

that the sun is out. the folks are now sighing the damage first hand. i have already talked with. so individuals out here. this is most likely one of the harder hit areas and you can see the trees and the siding of this house twisted around. you know, there is damage in the front and the back of that house. and as a meteorologist that's judicial usually a good indication that a tornado did touch down in this area. sometimes when we talk about straight line winds we talk about everything kind of that damage on one side, trees, power lines, all toppled over in one direction. this was one of the hardest hit houses on the street. unfortunately for jason, jason is a principal here in the area. this is a month old. this house is brand new. luckily jason and his wife and two kids, they made it to their safe spot on time. they have a little reading nook in their basement and luckily their wife put that in and a place for their kids to go to be safe. so they sure have a story and again, a brand new home. their story is safe, again,

they where his parents. can you see jason looking at the damage. brand new home that was destroyed. i think it goes to show you windows blown out there. these are people's homes we are dealing with someone last night, you know h to wake up to a very scary sound. he had to take his kids down to the basement and get them to their safe spot. these are real people here in the midwest dealing with severe weather season. we had several tornadoes in our region. most likely in the overnight. we are only in one of the hardest hit spots. there is a loft folks reeling from this today. send it back to you. brian: so much open space behind you. catherine thank you so much. appreciate it. meanwhile, go down to jedediah and this guy named griff. jedediah: thanks, brian. well, some 2020 democrats are pushing reparations for descendents of african-american slaves. >> you are for some type of. >> yes, i am. >> i firmly support congresswoman jackson lee's bill to create a commission to study reparations.

>> i have long believed that in order to heal as a nation we should offer reparations to the descendents of slaves. griff: our next guest says they demean america's founding ideals in new i didn't earn slavery reparations and i don't want them. burgess owens former super bowl player and author. good morning, your great, great grandfather silas surges would have something different to say about that. he of course brought to this country as a slave. >> good morning. looking forward to this. first of all, it's been a graft experience to see the respect that the americans have great, great grandfather. what's that the dream is all about. >> respect. unfortunately the left doesn't see the respect the way we see it. they will lie, steal and cheat to get what they think they deserve which is somebody else's property.

my great great grandfather and my dad and grandfather they felt totally different about the american way. they went out and earned respect by building, producing and overcoming the obstacles faced during that period of time. jedediah: what do you say to those who argue that those who faced the slavery underwent enormous disadvantage and thus deserve some type of compensation for the tragedy they suffered in our history. >> i think we need to learn our history. those for reparations and socialists they are really good at stealing our history. karl marx said it very simply the first battle ground is rewriting history. steal history and pride in the past and appreciation for our present. the black american race led our country in 50s, 50s and 60's, growth in the middle class, 50% we had obligor black americans pert sen damage wise leads our

country in terms of commitment to marriage. the amount of men matriculating from college. doing great things, kicking butt. and those things were not taught. it serves the leftists the eye it serves them their things to divide us and to separate us and by making us oppressed race and making the white race superior race allows them to say the things they are saying right now. griff: burgess, there is a resolution in the house and speaker pelosi is endorsing it and of course we are seeing on the campaign trail the 2020 democratic hopefuls are pushing for this. are you concerned that despite your opinion this will actually continue to gain steam? >> no, it won't. i will tell you if we want to look at reparations. point to the people. the slavery segregation, jim crow killing 20 million black babies, it's the democratic party. i would believe -- i would be very, very much in favor of democratic reparation.

we should start a campaign make democrats pay because it's that party and those who stand democratic party and understand the evil put on us, they are complicit. let the democrats pay for everything that's gone to our country and black community and i will be right on pace with that one for sure. jedediah: burgess, thanks for being here. very strong message from you. i'm sure many are listening. thanks so much. >> thanks, guys. take care. griff: this judge is helping illegal immigrant escape her courtroom and just turned down a plea deal. ainsley: why? judge alex ferrer is on the case coming up next. ♪ go, go ♪ go big or go home ♪ go big or go home ♪ i switched to liberty mutual,

through heavily populated neighborhood to make it a huge deal. of course we have survey crews out. you can see we have had reports of not only tornadoes in ohio but parts of indiana, chicago had a tornadoes-warn storm yesterday. and then of course across the plain states where we still have a severe thunderstorm watch in effect for parts of iowa. we are expecting the threat for strong to severe thunderstorms again today over some of the same regions. so large hail, damaging winds, flash flooding. that's something we are going to talk about as well and tornadoes will be possible. not only for the plain states but across the ohio river valley in towards the mid-atlantic. so this could be a big deal for heavily populated neighborhoods. again, wednesday threat the same areas and then we are also going to be talking about the flooding. the arkansas river right now parts of the missouri river valley. we could see the potential of historic, if not catastrophic flooding. so, please listen to your local meteorologist. they just want to help you and save lives. and, of course, we will keep

you on top of the situation as well. griff: wow, janice just can't catch a break. >> unbelievable this year. griff: it's a big day for mike call avenatti, the disgraced attorney set to be arraigned not once but twice today. jedediah: here to break it down former dade county circuit judge alex ferrer. welcome. >> great to be back with you guys. brian: how much trouble is avenatti in. >> a ton of trouble. a boat load of trouble. if the feds bring a case against you and bring charges they usually have been investigating for a while and have it buttoned down. he has three cases against him. each of them is worse than the one before. it's not something that's going to appeal to a jury. one of the cases he supposedly stole from a paraplegic client in california. there is nothing about it that he could argue to a jury would be good. i don't know what the evidence is, but i know that the feds generally they button you down pretty well. he has a lot of years. if the allegations are true,

in one of these cases, just one, not the three, he is going to prison for a long time. brian: other one is nike $200,000? >> yes. he attempted to extort millions and millions of dollars from them. brian: and get a job. stormy daniels? >> his own client who made him famous same allegation there what happens is once it becomes pluck that he did this to other client, other clients start going wait a minute, maybe i should look at my deal. what happened to my deal you? may see more of these coming forward. jedediah: amazing that guy's career was heading upward and downward spiral. brian: no one looked into his background the. jedediah: they just kept putting him on tv. griff: a judge helping an illegal immigrant escape. what's going on with. this this is a little shocking to me the u.s. attorney's office usually buttons down their cases. they arrest this judge and court officer because there was this illegal immigrant.

charles? >> good morning. i'm not surprised. you know, really interesting. because we're still, as americans, kind of falling for the polls that one that have like 60% democrats. 30% republicans and two independents and that's driving the narrative. the thing about these polls how -- i'm sorry economic models how good they have been. the one everyone is talking about a professor from yale and his work was uncanny, particularly when it came to president obama. he also had mark zandi who does good work. add mooys, i think of mark as left leaning economist, he has workeddal looked at 12 economic models and thinks that president trump will win overwhelmingly. he is also trend macro. the economy ultimately, think about this. remind dollars of this just a couple weekends ago in australia. when the polls said that the incumbent party would lose huge, that it was about climate change, about the

great barrier reef, about the extraordinary heat, hot summers that australia was going through seemed like a slam dunk. when people had the opportunity to get in there and think about it, they seemed with the status quo. australia hasn't had a recession in almost 30 years. people did not want to upset that applecart. brian: a lot easier running for election when it's re-election. added benefit of the incumbency. >> it helps a lot. some of that is going to be negated by the personality in this case. even nut last election there was some of these economic models suggested that president trump should have won by a much larger margin. again, you know, his constant war with the media. never going to report any of this stuff. they are not going to talk about. you will never see a headline record amount of jobs opening. never see a headline record unemployment numbers. never see a headline strongest wage growth in a decade. you will never see the

including right here, very special. reporter: aboard the wasp the president paid tribute to the thousands upon thousands of american servicemembers who lost their lives in service to their country in defense of freedom and thanked the men and women of the wasp for standing guard in the western pacific. here is the president. >> every day the men and women of the 7th fleet live out their motto, ready power for peace. you face down terrorism and render aid in the wake of devastating natural disasters. i've seen what you do. incredible. reporter: the president got a rock star welcome aboard the uss wasp. he got a very warm welcome in tokyo. in a few hours time he will be back in washington, d.c., though only for a few days. this coming weekend he heads to the uk for a state visit. he will be in france next thursday, a week thursday to

schedule reflects the unique position his campaign rise source say. with near universal and high approval rating of democrats he doesn't need to introduce himself to voters like any other candidate. as leader in the early polls he can attract media attention without any events. does he need to redefine himself to voters, because the people are listening to the likes of aoc, beto o'rourke, kamala harris, newcomers are out there saying if i got elected this is what i'm going to do. people don't know what biden will do. he has a legacy that he has to redefine or ask questions which he is not doing. griff: having covered the trail, you have to eat a pork chop on a stick in iowa. got to go to new hampshire shake the same person's hand five times. you lose if you don't that. number two, if you're a front-runner, stay in the news, they don't control what you're

saying about you. you control what they say about you being present in the public eye. number three, the fact is, you know president trump called him sleepy joe before he stopped showing up on the campaign trail the he is feeding his own narrative. brian: because if he is not active, you think he is lethargic you could jump to that conclusion. what he is doing more significant 1994 crime bill, joe biden speaks for a long time about, people look what he said, man, that has some racial undertones to it. he will be forced to comment on that. he will be forced to explain that, in 1994 i was supportive of it, so were all these pastors and so many others in the black community, crime was running rampant, we had to crack down on it. we need to hear from him because of that. what is true, i wasn't thinking about, nicknames work on republicans but has not shown nicknames work on democrats. like to, label somebody, to

polarize somebody. and for joe biden and others they don't seem to be pocahontas. elizabeth warren bounced back from that. starting to surge a little bit. jedediah: it revs up the base, when it comes to independent voters, to me that would be a turn i don't have, if i were advising president trump i would tell him to stop doing that, you're only aiding those individuals to go out the campaign trail to say oh, trump is mean and oh, trump is divisive. biden has to answer questions about the hot topic of investigating the investigators on the mueller report, if journalists are smart they should ask what he did know. questions in terms of obama administration, what started the investigation into trump and potential conspiracy with russia found not to be true. griff: it will be interesting to see if "sleepy" joe biden sticks on the democrat. it will feed on the jeb bush thing because of lack of

appearances. brian: i use a sports analogy because it is only ones i have. like being up by 20 games. why do i play my starters they could get hurt. i wait for the playoffs. is anybody in second will close the gap an joe biden will throw off the gloves and get messy? we'll see when the debates start in june. joel, did you follow it? anybody? jedediah: i followed it, but i don't often follow sports. brian: did that help or hurt the talking point? jedediah: it actually did nothing for me. i got it. sorry, biden. brian: you're not sorry, but it is okay. jedediah: i'm not. let's start off with a fox news alert. jillian: two people are dead and 16 others are hurt after a stabbing spree at a school bus stop in japan. witnesses say the attacker carry ad knife in each hand screaming i will kill you. an 11-year-old girl and a man were killed. the suspect took his own life.

griff: democrats are calling up impeachment but a new gop bill bradley byrne is proposing investigate the investigator act. congressman, thanks for taking the time. what are you introducing? >> i'm introducing a bill that will codify the investigation of the investigators attorney general barr is undertaking and require a investigation in the future. we spent over two years, $35 million on the lawyers, investigators, paralegals, and for what? we got a big fat goose egg here. mr. mueller himself determined there was no collusion, no conspiracy. the attorney general concluded there is no obstruction. so we spent all this time and all this money for what? it was partisan witch-hunt from the beginning. we need to get to the bottom who was behind this and how far up the chain does it go? what did president obama know, when did know it? let's have a full investigation of that. let's make sure that doesn't

happen in the future. griff: congressman, your colleague rashida tlaib says they are moving towards impeachment. pelosi started off discounting it but seems to be persuade. are you sure that your bill will be enough to stop the train that left the station. >> i don't know if we can stop the democrats. i read the mueller report cover to cover. i read some parts three or four times. read all the statutes, a bunch of case law, there is just no case. there they're so locked into trying to find anything against this president that they're willing to get into a partisan witch-hunt and i got to tell you, i have read the report, there is no witch to this witch-hunt. griff: congressman, quickly, almost out of time. you're running for senate against doug jones. is your opponent doug jones

scrutiny for her comments about abortion in the african-american community. >> just because women don't believe in abortion, don't take away someone else's right. i have to also say this will affect communities of color more than anything. for the women of color, for the women that are marginalized, women in the low income communities, women most at risk, this, these bills will be catastrophic. jedediah: well, our next guest, an nfl star, father of seven is taking these comments to task. brian: here with his outrain is benjamin watson tight end for now the new england patriots. when he thought he was retired. he has the new dads playbook. that is the book he wrote. when you heard alyssa milano say that you weren't watching live, watching our channel for sure, what were your thoughts? >> my thoughts were this is the same type of narrative or lie told over and over again, whether she meant to do it or

not people fall into this. this is combination of ignorance and racism. when i said racism, what i'm saying is the fact that having more children of color is a problem, the idea that will be a problem for women of color is an issue. i believe that our children are capable of anything anybody else is. i believe our children are our most cherished possession in our communities. the lie that has been told over and over again, if you're certain economic situation, certain color, this is the solution we'll offer you. that is debttry mental not only to black communities but to america as a whole. jedediah: ben, if alyssa milano wants to help the african-american community on this and african-american community who find themselves in crisis situations maybe she should be advocating for outreach for the women how they can help get financial assistance or guidance or counseling as opposed to advocating for abortion in those communities to end lives of potential future leaders in our

community that happen to be african-americans? >> very complex issue, because you have a situation where in the community we're historically pro-life. there became a shift where there were certain economic issues that make it tough. these decisions being made by women are very tough decisions. i'm not saying these people are doing things flippantly. we know most abortions across the board because of happen to be financial, emotional, whatever they be. people are forced into a position maybe i can't afford this child. maybe i'm a single parent, whatever it may be. i will struggle. maybe i will end this life. so the one thing i can say about alyssa, after she said i tweeted at her. we had a conversation. we had a dialogue. we went off-line with a dialogue. that is what we're really missing. we're missing people that have very different views but are willing to at least converse and at least find what their common ground and challenge each other

in a respectful manner. griff: she tweeted no harm meant. dm me. so you had conversation. if you continue to speak out that way, does that mean she is not listening to you? >> what it means she has certain convictions, i have mine, you have yours. when it comes to the issue, it is very deep rooted. it is scientific, we know for a fact babies hearts beat in 21 days. they have their own dna they have dreams. they are supported by their mother but we're all supports to some extent, i'm a firm believer, no matter the stage of development whether the location is, they are human just as we are. brian: gotcha. >> if she keeps on going that is her conviction. there is no time limit changing your mind. many times we have a certain conviction, we find out new information and we consider it, we change our minds. that happens. i'm playing football again. things happen. so it is incumbent upon all of

us who cherish life, cherish life of the child as well as the mother, steadfast in what we say, speak the truth, speak it in love. brian: benjamin will put broadcasting career on hold at least a year. new england patriots called you up, you want to play you said yes. you tweeted out, you're facing four-game suspension. you know exactly why. you didn't think you were playing. you took testosterone for healing purposes. next thing you know, you find yourself back on the field. so tell us what is going on? >> yes. it is very tough thing. i was devastated when i heard the news. i planned on retiring as you know. i waited until the end of my contract expired with the saints. was prescribed testosterone for my nervous system and other injuries. and overall health imbalance a long time i haven't been able to address. moving forward into my life, trying to be healthy that is what i did. about a month or two passed by.

♪ jedediah: small businesses are the bed rook of america's economy. down in alabama one business owner says franchise es like him are in business cross-hairs with a new bill that could upend business model and jeopardize the jobs they support. the owner of 18 kentucky friday

chicken and taco bell locations. you are successful at least. >> thank you. >> what would be the impact of this on people like you. >> first to put it in context, franchising in the u.s., there is over 700,000 locations in the u.s. producing over 7 million jobs. in the state of alabama alone there is 12,000 franchise locations with over 120,000 jobs. this bill is politicians seeking a solution for a problem that doesn't exist. in fact what is really does it makes it more difficult for brands to protect the brand and allow franchisees such as myself to co-op with other franchisees for national advertising. jedediah: why do it? what is their motivation to doing this if it will have negative impact on business owners on the economy, on jobs, why do it? >> i think really a lack of understanding what franchising is. franchising is really the core,

embodies the heart of free enenterprise. it allow as local owner to marry up with a national brand, to go into business and grow. invariably in free enterprise there are failures. politicians grabbed on to a few minor failures. as a result of that are seeking a solution for a problem that doesn't exist. franchising today is more successful than someone going out and opening their own business and small business. it provides a platform for someone to take their own talents, and to grow. jedediah: so if you have local entrepeneurs in your state excited about getting into business, starting a business, they see a bill like this and its potential impacts, what does that do to their spirit and their desire to actually be in business? >> we see it almost like a runner with a parachute, right? right now the economy is doing well. franchising is doing well. its outpacing the economy from a

gdp growth standpoint. this is putting a parachute behind it and not allowing franchisees and others to grow at their potential. jedediah: the franchisee association supports act, it gives those who truly invest in all businesses more freedom how to run their business. gives the small business owners managing currently imbalanced franchise agreements what do you say to that? >> ultimately it puts government right in the middle of franchising. i got into franchising because i believe in free enterprise. i believe i wanted the right as an individual business owner to enter into a contract with ply franchiser. this puts government in the middle of the contract, it does it prospectively and retroactively which i find odd. i entered into a contract willingly and desire to be in the franchise business. jedediah: okay. but i always say the less government the better.
