in the face. this is a reward for being the good employee got to throw out the first pitch the team sharing this photo showing the hilarious moment right before that epic fail. she hits the guy right in the head. jillian: happens to me. not that bad but -- hi. siren. >> freakin' huge. absolutely huge. >> that thing is rotating like crazy. ainsley: straight to a fox news alert. vicious tornadoes and thunderstorms overnight from missouri all the way to new york marking 12 state days of total destruction across our great country. this mile wide twister former near kansas city. brian: at least 12 people are injured there. the mayor of linwood just outside of kansas city say dozens of homes all gone. >> i could feel the air moving the walls and i could

feel air coming from above. then all of a sudden i heard stuff flying around all above me. my walls and my furniture. >> kansas city international airport shutting down temporarily to clean up debris littered on the runway. and to the east, take a look at this. ainsley: gosh, in workers county, pennsylvania, will wind so hard a tree actually uprooted right out of the ground. brian: every single county in oklahoma is under a state of emergency as it braces for more severe flooding. pete: more is coming and tragedy in arkansas overnight where a man was killed in the flooding. that's where we find our own matt finn, he is in fort smith. matt, this flooding could be indeed even more historic, correct? >> yeah.

unfortunately, pete. we have witnessed thunderstorms and rain storms over the past couple hours which means more precipitation has fallen here exactly what that looks like will probably be seen as the sunrises. we have been in arkansas for a few days. we have seen the raging arkansas river rise. the forecast calls for the crest today at 42.5 feet. that is an all-time high and nearly double the flood staple. we are standing on highway 22 right now, which is a four-lane road which has been engulfed by the arkansas river. you can make out some of the businesses that are under water. this 4-lane road looks more like a lake right now than a thorough fare. unfortunately this flooding has already claimed one life here. police say a person was found drowned in a car submerged on this very road that we are standing on. police are pleading with people to engage in life-saving activity instead of risking anything near flooding water. >> stay out of the flooded

roads. turn around, don't drown. there is a reason for that. no one knows how deep this water is for certain or how swift it is underneath. >> the arkansas game commission is monitoring these flooded waters. they are going around potentially for looting and doing rescues. the game commission is the rescue crew that found that submerged car with the person who was deseized. all of this water here along the arkansas river right now is heading south towards the state capital. the mayor of north little rock has already declared a flooding emergency there. and today is the crest day, so the river is expected to be at its highest level today. and there are already a lot of failing, if not compromised levees up and down this river. brian, ainsley, pete? pete: thanks, matt. ainsley: just the scope of that how far it stretches. janice says it's almost over though. we are coming to an end.

brian: it's the season in new york. all flights stopped in new york. laguardia nothing came in and nothing went out. james comey done i'm surprised he is not going to be on the payroll knowing that the president has gone out of his way to tell the attorney general as you see fit declassify while watching our security, our ways of means of practicing for the intelligence community. declassify what was going on behind the scenes leading up to the investigation during the election. so that went out. and james comey and john brennan have gone nuts. james comey in particular the editorial page. ainsley: at the beginning of the op-ed i try to ignore. this i'm egg fouring the president. i'm not going to ignore him. is he a liar but i' i'm writing this op-ed. pete: there was no corruption no, treason no, attempted coup there are lies and dumb lies at that. there were just good people

trying to figure out what was true, under unprecedented circumstances. brian, you are pretty fired up about this. brian: i will let you weigh in. ainsley: then you goes on to say that the fbi wasn't out to get trump. keep in mind, we have proof that they were, peter strzok, lisa page, they made fun of trump supporters. they made fun of those walmart shoppers. they promised to stop trump from winning when they said they needed that insurance policy. they used unverified information to get the fisa application to go and survey carter page who worked for president trump or candidate trump at the time. brian: so if you break down some of these questions, we have questions. i know one thing, i don't have all the answers. but i know there are outstanding questions even for non-investigative experts who, unlike you, don't have years -- years of experience and background. for example, you talk about what would you do when you found out in june that the russianst have infiltrated our elections process and had gone into hillary

clinton's campaign? excuse me, in june? papadopoulos in the spring was in london and he was interacting with joseph mifsud how claim is a russian agent but he is actually from malta working in london as a professor. it was alexander -- we don't know what the ambassador was doing in russia. first we hear drinking with papadopoulos and they happened to run into each other and they were so drunk and he spartanned spouting out how the russians had hillary clinton's emails. turns out they weren't drunk. one drink each. downer's people have not been clear what role he h papadopoulos says i have no idea. it seems as though mifsud told me one thing and i relayed something to downer. who is mifsud. why did he disappear? why hasn't he shown up? what about christopher steele you don't mention the dossier the entire column. you think it is important to tell the president how bad it was and to use in the dossier. i am humble enough to know i have questions. ainsley: timeline.

he said we didn't know in russia spying until june you are saying that's not true it was before that when they were meeting. brian: absolutely. downer is like hey i heard about this. this meeting i held with paparazzi in the bar in the spring. podesta's emails get hit. i met with a foreign policy advisor who meth with donald trump five minutes to say that the russians had his emails. then the thing goes ahead, oh, excuse me, i want to know about the spring first and how dare i go out of my way to ask questions on who halper is. professor meeting with papadopoulos and carter page and now we find out that carter page is meeting in virginia. ainsley: at his farm. brian: he was not clear what he did for a living. what he is doing for a living is pretending to be a professor. what is he doing for a living is working for the fbi. you don't think we have the right to ask questions? pete: thankfully we do. we got from inspector horowitz looking into the application process and bill barr.

it's absurd in this op-ed he talks about how we did all these things with hillary clinton with her email and they think cost her the election. a lot of people feel like he didn't do enough. he gave her the white glove treatment. ainsley: we are hearing from the directors of the fbi. james comey wrote the op-ed. the former cia director john brennan said. this listen. >> i think it's critically important that the counterintelligence professionals continue to carry out their responsibilities and resist these unwarranted and very, very irresponsible efforts to try to undermine what they are doing. brian: he has no faith that attorney general william barr, who helped james comey get into the business, who has a lot of connections with him and supported him along the way and now john brennan thinks the man who spent years in the cia doesn't know what is sacred and not what it comes to ways and practices of our intelligence community. here is brit hume. >> the same guy is the guy that had to come on the air after the mueller report was

released and try to explain how he got it all so wrong. he predicted there were further indictments coming and that, you know, mueller was really just getting started and there were no further indictment. mueller did not find the collusion that had been so often alleged by brennan and others. he had to come on the air i don't really know. i might have gotten some bad information and so on. you think after that if he got something that big that wrong for so long that the enthusiasm for certain networks for having him on might be diminished. apparently not. pete: when you going into the media making a case, either one of two reasons. two years ago it was because they were pressing a narrative going after trump. he was a russian agent. they felt they had the advantage. other reason you get out to get your side of the story out you are running scared. at this point i might be exposed. i might want to put my so wide out first it looks like. what clapper brennan and comey are doing right now. brian: why don't democrats ask him to brief them on

what is happening now. he still has not been read in. his security clearance has not officially been revoked. why officials want this parallel government i don't understand. pete: that's a great way to put it. brian: james comey asks us rhetorically what do you want me to do when i get this information about maybe the trump campaign co-including with russia? he is true. i didn't come out and say we are investigating donald trump before the election. true. but what you could have done is what did you with dianne feinstein. when you found out that a long-time driver was a chinese spy, do you know what you did? you told her. you didn't say hey, diane, grab an uber. the guy might be going both ways. that could be construed wrong. he might be playing for two teams. so i would say this. if you just go up to chris christie and rudy giuliani and just say hey, guys, there are some crazy things going on with the russians right now. we have years as a u.s. attorney i need your help. tell me what's going on. pete: that would have been

above board. brian: then george papadopoulos is already off the team anyway. it wouldn't have been a problem. ainsley: if it were happening it would have stopped it in its tracks. they will get to the bottom of this. the attorney general is vowing to find out how this all started because america wants to know. it's very trouble ling. brian: you asked a question why can't we ask this question? why is james comey so scared of us asking questions? pete: you just did. [laughter] brian: okay. ainsley: jillian is here and has headlines for us. hi, jillian. jillian: good morning. breaking news from overnight. national security advisor john bolton says iran should stick to its nuclear deal. bolton telling reporters there is no reason to back out unless it's seeking atomic weapons. iran's foreign minister denies that claim. bolton speaking out in abu dahbi. he also revealed ships sabotaged off the united emirates coast were most certainly attacked by iran. new security concerns in

ainsley: good morning. tell us what the law said in indiana and what the supreme court decided. >> well, the original law was that we would dignify the remain of an boar an aborted fetus not consider them medical waste which is what we were trying to get to with our bill. we did have that pass by 60-40 margin. that was our main goal with that the other part of the bill is racist as we call it that you could not abort because of the race or disability factor of the fetus such as down syndrome or excuse me developmental disability. that's what we were trying to get with the bill. ainsley: so what happened in the supreme court? >> well, the supreme court upheld the dignity of the remains which i said was already in place in indiana and the lower court didn't have the right to change that and they didn't take that into effect so they

left that in place. the other party of the bill, as far as the racist factors they didn't rule on. they actually just left the ruling from the lower court and stating that they wanted more cases to be reviewed before they actually weigh in on the situation. this, i understand, was from justice robert's writing on the case. ainsley: this has been a controversial issue. the state of new york says you can have an abortion all the way to the end. state of alabama have gone the opposite way. many people saying this should be a state-by-state issue. were you shocked the supreme court weighed in on this? >> well, no, i knew they would weigh in on this and that's what would happen. we were hoping they would weigh in on both issues so they would try to make a decision. but they did not on the other issue. and like i said, felt they needed more case law to find out from that. so i'm happy that the dignity of the remains of the unborn was upheld and

hoping that you as the other cases progress. one in kentucky and utah and somewhere else. as they progress with the finding of those cases that they actually will take the case up in the future. ainsley: what does this mean for the rest of the country going forward with this issue? >> well, it means that we are still in a position to hopefully save the unborn. i mean, that's our goal, our group in indiana. we have the largest right-to-life group in the country. and our ghoul is to stop abortion where we can and we know that it's law and weave to abide by the law. but, we're just hoping that that will continue on as we go along. ainsley: okay, representative. thank you so much for coming on to explain this to us. we wish you all the best. >> thank you. ainsley: it is the out of this world claim that has everyone talking this morning. navy pilot seeing ufos every day for two years. our next guest is helping to

behind these devices that we are observing? >> are there indications that these unidentified flying objects are doing things that this world is not capable of? >> there are indications actually. the incident famous example of this well documented by multiple radars and pilots in broad daylight that vehicle demonstrated speeds in excess of 5,000 miles an hour. it was able to whoever 50 feet above the average after descending from above 80,000 feet. pilots observing these craft are absolutely mystified and that comes through clearly in their public statements. brian: they are frustrated they feel something should be done. >> they are deeply frustrate you had. that is the core of our show unidentified. we are giving military personnel on the front line a voice. we are helping them get out the message what it is they are encountering and why they are so concerned about it. brian: we are not the only country having these encounters?

to being. human being to whatever these beings are? >> not that i'm aware of. these are reaction between intelligently cool controlled vehicles. operating in and around u.s. military facilities. hence the concern. the pilots concern are one there have been near mid-air collisions there is a safety issue. two, there is a vital national security issue which is that our sovereignty is being violated by vehicles of unknown origin. brian: what's more responsible announcing it and saying this is our problem. this is the video or not announcing it? >> let me mention in that regard that when lou, my leg running the ufo investigation i worked with him, introduced him to two individuals russia port and general mattis. we were unable to get that on the secretary's agenda. lowe and i concluded the only way to make progress on this issue was from the outside to take the information to the public and congress. that's what this show is about. that's what these military pilots are helping us with.

concerts. various things. it started as a ballroom. it is now this. complete and total rubble. you can see all of the things that have fallen down. this is just one example of what so many people are experiencing in this area. yesterday residents were trying to clean up. today though, they have to worry about more storms. listen to some of what the people who live here have had to say. >> i heard it sound like a freight train. i could see the roof and hear it come off. so ceiling was cracking and everything else. i had to kick my way out of the door. if i didn't move quick enough what could have happened. >> as people start putting their lives back together. we will see what federal assistance might be available. everyone is on the team. everyone is pulling together. we are going to do absolutely everything that we can. >> so where i am right now, this would have been some sort of door, some sort of entrance. if you look above me, you will see it's now a sun room. something that was never supposed to be this open air. it was never supposed to

look like this but in an instants all of that changed right now. people in this area are still under a water boil advisory. many people are without power. and, again, officials are saying that there could be even more storms later today and into the night. pete, ainsley, brian? pete: thank you, ellison. ainsley: thank you. that is so devastating. janice is here in the studio. she has been tracking all of this. i heard you say earlier it is going to get better, right? janice: yeah, we will see a break in the pattern heading into tomorrow and friday. but flooding concerns will remain a huge issue as we headed into the next couple of weeks. the next couple of months as all of this water has to move downstream. even though the severe threat will lesson. the rival will rival the great floods of the 1900s in some of these regions. that's a story we are going to be watching next. here are the tornadoes reports of the last 24 hours. we know in the month of may we have had over 450 reports of tornadoes. that is incredible. unfortunately, we have got

one more day of severe weather and then we will start to see this pattern break down a little bit over the next couple of days. severe thunderstorm watches in effected for parts of texas through arkansas. that means the threat for severe storms including large hail, damaging winds and tornadoes will be ongoing today. the threat is ongoing in the same areas that we have seen over the last couple of days. this is the 13th day of severe weather outbreak. from texas through the mid-atlantic area. you know, these are heavily populated neighborhoods. it just takes one tornado to cause incredible amounts of damage. and just take a look. tornadoes per month. we are above average in april. look at may. close to 450 reports of tornadoes. so one more day, the lessen the next couple of days the flooding threat, let me tell is you historic and catastrophic in some of these areas. the arkansas river, mississippi river valley and missouri river valley all need to be monitored over the next couple of weeks. pete: thinking about those folks for sure.

janice, thank you. the surge of migrants at the southern burden forcing border patrol to create a new job called pro-saying coordinators. they will eventually take over baby-sitting duties caring for illegal immigrants so agents can take over the front lines and control the border. brian: here to weigh in is tomi lahren. we need help at the border with the babysitters. i saw it up close and personal. 40% of these guys and women were sitting there getting orange drinks and sewe soda. i have seen it first hand as well. when i visited san diego a few months ago. our agents were warming up burritos in detention processing centers for illegal immigrants. and that was their day-to-day job. and it has been for years. it's getting so much worse. the fact that they had to create a new position to essentially baby-sit illegals is mind bog glick but it's obviously completely necessary and wise. chief carla provost of border patrol knows exactly what she is doing. but still this is the inaction of congress to

change asylum laws and to build a wall and get tough on immigration that we are facing this issue. pete: absolutely. tomi, on your program have you covered a lot of hot topics including this one you tackle another one on no interruption this week. here is the clip. i want to get your reaction to it? >> i was scared to walk away from the democratic party because i knew i was walking away from friends, family and job opportunities. that's the same thing for a rot people. i thought at one time be amaze going we created a network of support and told our stories, used the videos, testimonials to come together and show people that you're not alone. there are lots of people just like us and that you walk away. it doesn't matter if you are black or brown or straight or white or male or female or lgbtq. this is a moomplet for all people to walk away from the democratic party and come together under one umbrella which is americans. pete: that was brandon

reasoned conversation. we conservatives tend to start with reason. and rather than it becoming emotional, it was, i think there was some chilled conservative speech in the background somewhere. but i was very encouraged. what i saw was an interest in history, an interest in reason and interest in both law and in some cases faith. i talked about being pro-life. i talked about the reagan agenda and what i found was a certain quiet receptivity to these things. i had my opposite number talking about the democrat priorities i think at the end of the day college campuses have to return and appetite for returning to the idea that free speech is bawl seeking truth. if you look at madison's notes from the constitutional convention that's why they put the first amendment in there curiously enough at the constitutional convention. none of the members criticized any other member for changing their mind. i reminded people of ronald reagan and actually i worked also for colin powell and both of those men had a

distinguishing feature, they took nothing personally. they recognized that you can disagree with me and that doesn't mean you reject me or you can disagree with my argument. it doesn't mean you reject me. if you start with respect and finish with respect, you can actually get toward truth. that's what i found at dartmouth. pete: you said receptive audience there. is part of the fact that things you were saying are things that students rarely hear there? is there a thirst for the other side? one student came up and says no one says that here when talking about pro-life issues. >> i think that's right. i think what happens is there is a self-censorship that happens on a lot of these campuses and students are afraid of either retribution or maybe social rejection. and i think what's fascinating to me is that conversations both on stage and afterwards was very encouraging. it says to these students and i hope you are saying it now if you have convictions more conservative based on reasoning or faith. then go ahead and have those conversations and you will

find maybe, at the end of the day, that this pursuit of truth is something you both enjoy in a conversation getting closer to that and that's really what the first amendment is all about. pete: robert, the reason we are doing this segment a lot of universities it would never happen. what has the dartmouth administration or schools like it, what are they doing to help facilitate this? >> well, the first thing is they invited a conservative to come speak. sometimes you get a big surprise when you hear that the other side doesn't have horns and doesn't breathe fire. maybe they are quite reasonable after all. and you know, ronald reagan did that regularly. he went into environments that were quite hostile and ended up convincing people with maybe some of the things he thought were not so bad after all. pete: robert charles thank you for your time and service to the country. we appreciate it yes, sir. pete: taylor swift isn't ready to shake off politics just yet. what she just revealed about her new album. carley shimkus with the interview lighting up some portions of social media this morning ♪ shake it off

pennsylvania, that shed blows off the foundation. a tree uprooted right from the ground. brian: and the nightmare continues and it's happening today. every single county in oklahoma is under a state of emergency as it braces for more severe flooding. pete: all of this following a tornadoes outbreak in ohio. that's where we find ellison barber in trotwood where cleanup is just beginning. ellison, good morning. >> good morning, you guys. so, yeah, can you imagine it's been a difficult couple of days here in ohio. we are at an arena right now in trotwood, ohio, an area where a severe tornadoes truchesd down. imagine coming to an arena with your family and kids to go see a basketball game, a concert. that's what people did at this area where we are. i would show you what it would be like now if you came. you come through this door where people would have back when they could and you imagine walk through this lobby here go that way to have a good evening with your family and kids. now, because of the tornadoes, because of the bad weather, that is not

going to happen. this right here looks like it used to be some sort of office. it's just open to the outside world completely collapsed. so this arena has been around for over 50 years. they had a lot of events here. it started as a ballroom but now the history of it, the fun of it, all of it is gone and reduced to what's left and what you see here. we walk a little this way, you can see more of the damage and how far it goes. the national weather service says that eight tornadoes touched down in ohio. that's what they have been able to confirm so far. three of those were ef-3s. those are severe tornadoes between 136 and 165 miles per hour. over here are some bathrooms. again, you can see what an ef-3 what damage tornado does and what it does here. people have been trying to clean up their homes, their businesses whatever is in the community that has been damaged. the problem today is that more rain is expected right now a lot of people in this

area are still without power and officials are warning them that they need to boil their water before drinking it. a lot of difficult things ahead for the people in this area. this rubble is one example of the mess that they are trying to clean up. the livelihood, the memories that they lost in an instant. when all of those tornadoes broke out overnight on monday. back to y'all. pete: thank you very much, ellison, wow. amazing the size of the devastation how long it's been going on. brian: radio show we have nebraska affiliates they have been devastated. whi o'dea ton devastated we have stations in tulsa and oklahoma city it's every day one -- somebody some major city gets slammed. ainsley: i just can't imagine going through that and seeing your house just on the ground collapse. and then after that have the flooding to deal with because janice says that last for weeks where do you

start? >> don't have power the first thing do you is tape absolutely everything. you try to measure the amount of damage that you have and things that you had. and stuff you got to tossout you toss out. when they come to look at it and you have to put things in the dumpster to get your life together. ainsley: how long did it take. brian: months. three feet of water. these people need brand new homes. the one thing they do ask you, they ask you specifics. where was the couch? when did you get the couch. where was the tv? where was it located? they ask you all these things and very few people had answers. ainsley: why is that important? >> important to show because they are so overwhelmed can't sit in rubble while you wait for the intake to show up working hard. tame and show where the water level was. this is where the home was and wall was blown off. ainsley: what if you can't afford to go and buy new

furniture. brian: you have to wait on somewhere else to live. when you go back, you need the money. you need the insurance company is going to be hard on to you tell you exactly what you lost and how much it's depreciated. have you got to go there and fight and have video evidence. pete: year and make of everything. ainsley: how long does it take to get the insurance money. brian: pretty swiftly. these people work so hard. they go from one disaster to another. i have no complaints what i have witnessed personally. pete: we will be tracking this all morning long and throughout the week. the storms have gone on too long. hopefully they will get relief soon. speaking of relief, maybe not getting relief is in the political world today where bill barr was authorized to declassify if necessary and open an investigation. well, we are now learning that the dossier author, that dirty dossier, christopher steele is saying that he will not cooperate with federal prosecutors. brian: why is that? pete: will not be interviewed and part of the

process. ainsley: he did cooperate with robert mueller he won't cooperate with william barr's investigation or john durham's investigation. he might cooperate according to this report with horowitz' report which comes out in may or june, according to barr. brian: that's why it's so important. without pointing fingers, we as the american public who are commissioning all these people and paying all these salaries and doing all these studies and paying $30 million to roberts mueller. we want know how it started. ainsley: right. brian: without any assumption how it started. no one is get indicted how it started get to the people to started it to tell us what happened. if you had -- their argument is if you were me you would have done the same thing, show us how. show us exactly what you mean. because it's no longer okay for you to stiff arm people that ask you questions. ainsley: christopher steele was the one who actually wrote the dirty dossier. he worked for fusion g.p.s. who paid for that for that to happen? the clinton campaign and the dnc. their law firm, they were

cutting checks, this law firm, to fusion gps. steve: they never thought this day would ever come. ainsley: because they thought hillary would win. pete: they thought she would win. all of this was shrouded in secrecy. ainsley: remember the insurance policy? pete: being in the shadows. not known except for a relative few. household name never expected he said i ain't talking. brian: christopher steele got his reputation with the fbi confirmed and solidified when they blew up one of the most corrupt sports organizations in the country. did my mike fall off. one of the most corruption sports organizations in the country. and after he did that and the fbi. and they are still paying the price. fbi things thing you know has election to handle. could you find out what's going on over there? not only that he uses his russians contact without showing up to find out what he says trump's antics in russia. all this alleged ties to russia. he never meets anyone

face-to-face. he gets all second hand information. he takes that dossier. they help launch an investigation. and then when it wasn't moving, he shows up in america and starts giving the information to press people like corn and isikoff. and russian roulette in such detail you wonder i know they are good reporters but no one is this good this quick who knew that much information now there it's being unwound and pushing back in every way. trey gowdy new a lot when he was questioning brennan last year. listen to. this do you know who commissioned the steele dossier? >> i don't. >> did the cia rely on it? >> no. >> why not? >> because we didn't. it wasn't part of the corpus of intelligence information that we had. it was not in any way used as a basis for the intelligence community assessment that was done. >> we are going to find that

out. when he tells the intelligence comiewngtsd as he did over the weekend or late last week work with bill barr to share any relevant information. that moves it outside the realm of the fbi into the dni into the cia and places where he was in charge at that moment. we will or at least should find out whether that statement is you true. brian: omg. [laughter] that's one of the things. comey and brennan both blaming the other one for using the dossier. so, it's not a matter of us disagreeing with them. they don't agree with each other. mccabe and comey disagree. we know that comey and brennan disagree. we know that loretta lynch and comey disagree. ainsley: they are all trying to cover their own tracks. because they know all of this is going to be exposed in the next few weeks. brian: all they know is they don't want you asking questions. how dare they? ainsley: michael was on weighing in on this. listen to. this it's incredibly ironic that it's now being cast as some kind of authoritarian

power grab for president trump to delegate to attorney general barr the authority to declassify information that would shine a light on the conduct of the country's most secretive by institutions in 2016 we are supposed to believe that it's authoritarian to release that information to the public to let them review it and it's somehow saving democracy to have spy chiefs go on tv and declare that it would somehow jeopardize national security or put lives at risk to keep that information concealed. it's truly an inversion of the highest order and, you know, more indication that we are in this weird bizarreo world. pete: omg to quote you, brian. brian: trey gowdy never asks a questions he doesn't know the answer. to say he always asks a question that clues on what we should ask. he has left the business to make real money in south carolina and including some of the real money is working

people, including two americans to die on the mountain this climbing season. this photo, which has gone viral on social media shows the traffic jam at the highest part of the climb last week in what experts call the death zone. our next guest has climbed everest four times and reached its sument summit for te first time in 2011. you talk about the first few folks that went to the top. then you see a picture like that. it looks like a traffic jam. is the amount of people attempting this climb cricketing to the deaths we have seen? >> well, so this year was a little bit of an anomaly but it wasn't unheard of. we had a similar phenomenon in 2006 and 2012. the key factor in this year was a limited number of days where the wind was low enough to be able to summit that contributed to the crowds nepal issued 3318 permits plus they require any foreigner to hire a sherpa guide. that meant there were close

to 800 people trying to go up in what last year was an 11-straight days of suitable weather and this year was only three. so you had too many people trying to squeeze in too little of a time. pete: that makes a lot of sense but in addition to that people who are maybe not as qualified to do it attempting this climb? sort of our selfie culture? i have got to get my picture on mount everest? is that a concern? if you are not an experienced mountain near as you are, you are way more vulnerable. >> spot on, pete, spot on. what's happening is that there is a new generation of guys coming in offering everest climbs at $30,000. still a lot of money but half the price of the traditional 40, 50, 60,000. that's attracted a new demographic that simply doesn't have the experience what we saw on that picture that's gone viral. many of those people simply didn't have the skills to navigate that steep terrain so they slowed down and what we ended up having instead of being a 12-hour summit

days we had 20 hour summit days that contributed to at least four of the 11 deaths. pete: you can only be at that depth zone for a certain amount of time. if there is a traffic zone you are just waiting. >> it's called the death zone for a reason. your body is slowly degrading. you are on supplemental oxygen only makes a 3,000-foot difference. you still are feeling like your body is at 26,000 feet. and the body just wasn't designed for that and the longer you are there, the odds go up that something bad is going to happen. pete: alan arnette thank you for your expertise. we appreciate it this morning. >> thank you. pete: remember when this was the left's rally cry. >> replace ice. >> get rid it, start over, reimagine it? >> we have got to critically re-examine ice. pete: we barely hear it now. why is that? area fleischer knows a thing or two about messaging and he is on deck with us. ♪ head games

and he defended them in this op-ed. >> what james comey has got to realize is that he, individually, set so much of this off. when he went and briefed president-elect trump about the false dossier and then immediately leaked to the press, this is what set off two years of americans against americans based on the allegation that trump somehow was an agent of russia in this campaign included. he put the nation through something we should never go through and takes no responsibility and doesn't acknowledge wrongdoing. pete: ari, would any of the investigations now happening, huber, inspector general. bill barr's authority. could any of the evidence they had prentsd ever lead someone like james comey to admit he was wrong? >> i think comey he will admit he is wrong if he is get a news conference to get everyone cover him. he loves the coverage and being at the center of the attention he did when he was deputy attorney general in the bush administration. he has done it routinely as fbi director. other thing he hasn't taken any responsibility for is the news conference in which he put himself in place of the obama justice department and said that hillary

shouldn't be prosecuted. it's not his call. it's loretta lynch's call as attorney general. and he should not have stepped into that void. the proper thing is for the fbi to investigate and let justice decide. but, he is too big for his britches. he had to go out and do it himself. brian: for him to go out and stay in front of this. you know crisis management. is this crisis management because you know something is coming around the corner that could open up the flood gates? >> i think this is the beginning salvo of the democrats and comey. and much of the media trying to turn attorney general bill barr into former prosecutor ken starr. ken starr was the one the clinton white house vilified, beat up over the white water allegations and monica allegations that's what they will do to bill barr. ainsley: next summer we will be traveling to the connections a year away basically a year and a half until this election. brian: pete's not going.

message. this used to be their message. listen to. this we need to rebuild our immigration system from the top to bottom. starting by replacing ice with something that reflects our morality. >> we should protect families that need our help. that is not what ice is doing today. that's why i believe you should get rid it, start over, reimagine it. >> we hav have got to critically re-examine ice and its role and the way it is being administered and the work it is doing. we need to start to probably think about it from scratch. ainsley: we don't hear that anymore. >> no you don't but they did so they are stuck with it. another way of saying we are against the police and against law enforcement. can you imagine abolish ice no immigration enforcement anymore. any time an international plane lands at airport don't go through customs. go through the emergency exit and blend into our society. that's what they're advocating a nation without rules. pete: have they backed off because the evidence is clear?

ainsley: there is a crisis. pete: you don't have enforce 789 and this is a crisis have you nothing. >> they haven't backed off. they may have temporarily used the words abolish ice they haven't had the impact. they will haven't changed one bit on border issues. that's someone who wants comprehension immigration reforms and welcomes immigrants. i'm first generation immigrant. son of an immigrant. people need to come here legally. if they do richer country. can't make first act an i will illegal one. brian: nancy pelosi is going to propose a daca that fix? really that's the end game of something that controlling the border. >> yes. brian: she is looking to gte that out there to say i care about. >> amazing me the base of the democratic party has shifted so far to the left that lawlessness is an answer. is t. should never be an answer. pete: that's why we are debating the very sovereignty of our country right now. brian: you ari fleischer. ainsley: always good. did you -- you were on hangts last night.

some point i would not have been able to pull it back. he was pretty strong. >> the bear ran off before animal control arrived. we cover all these stories about bears getting into cars. you know, food or what have you. just amazing to see that. ainsley: i guess she didn't have her keys. she was gardening. >> maybe the closest place she could find shelter. >> bears are so bored in the woods they're coming out to play with us and we have enough people. jillian: is that what it is. pete: we are full. brian: we cannot play with the bears. pete: play with people you know. ainsley: all right, jillian. forget words of wisdom. nancy pelosi got political during her commencement speech. >> we have to correct the danger to our democracy that the growing disparity of income in our country presents. brian: what do they have five speakers there? is she first? is this the future of graduation speeches? lawrence jones is walking up the stairs and coming this way. ♪ ♪ young american ♪ young american

that's what happens when we have these tornado outbreaks. they move into heavily populated neighborhoods as that's why have incredible destruction. past 24 hours. we have still have severe thunderstorm watches in effect for parts of arkansas in towards tennessee and in to texas. that's exactly the same area that we have been stressing over the last couple of days over the last week or so where we have had this severe weather outbreak from texas across the ohio river valley. again, for portions of the mid-atlantic and the northeast. so know what to do if there is a watch or warning in your area. where are you going to go to seek shelter? the other big story, one that's not going to go away is the flooding. we have flooding that is being compared to the great flood of the 1900s. in parts of arkansas, missouri, all along the mississippi river valley because we have had so much rain in a short period of time overtopping levees in this case and, you know, really compromising the infrastructure. so this is going to be a story that we are going to be following over the next

several weeks. even though the tornadoes risk will go down over the next couple of days, the flooding is going to be ongoing and we could certainly set historic records. other big story is the big heat across the southeast. so a lot to cover in weather. we will certainly do that today and rest of the workweek. back to you. pete: thanks, janice. nancy pelosi gets political shocking while delivering a commencement speech at san francisco state university. >> america is a nation of immigrants. unless you were blessed to be born native american and that is, indeed, a blessing. that is why we must pass comprehensive immigration reform, but that is also why next week we will pass legislation to protect dreamers. g.e.d. recipients. any dreamers in the house?

for two years. look, this is election season. right? and this is their rallying call to protect illegals. let's be clear. i hope the black voters. pete: they don't vote. >> i hope they are paying attention because this is their priorities. it's not about fixing education in those communities, tackling, getting businesses in their community. it's about the illegals in this country. and so when it comes to you voting 90% of the time for them. this is your opportunity to shake it up and say look i understand that republicans sometimes don't go into the community. but we should be going into the community because it's so easy to beat these guys. how do we continue let the party of black face still got that guy in there and party that does not focus on the community only until it's elections time. it's insane to me. pete: appreciate it. thousands ever paratroopers landing in france that began the fight that changed world war ii. a group of special forces troops will recreate that

leaker. they wrote books. brian: peter strzok. >> we know how much the sexers or texters were making fun of, nellie ohr. january 2017 president trump held the press conference in eight very yum of the trump tower. took questions from almost every outlet. i went on tv on a different network, told that network you're reporting on what jim comey told the president is wrong. they kept relying on printed articles about the two-page summary. there was no such thing given to the president. he was brief orally by comey. they, people just presumed, giving the benefit of the doubt people presumed president-elect trump was briefed same way president obama and vice president obama had been briefed on phony fake dossier. that is not true.

that has been admitted since. we have so many inconsistencies and flat-out lies from these known leakers who have lied under oath to congress and elsewhere that it is worth investigating. i would ask them, what are you so afraid of? brian: kellyanne, i want to get to the border. i ask the question he would ask you right now, this is what some have said, if they wanted to affect the trump campaign they would have announced in the fall we're investigating donald trump and his campaign for possible collusion with russia. they didn't. they wait the until after the election. do they deserve credit for that? >> no. because president obama should have informed the new team on the campaign. somebody should have told us intelligence had made very clear to them that russia was trying to interfere in the campaign. they ignored it. they didn't act on it because they wanted the woman who lost the race, whose name i never say anymore accused still saying her name, her, they thought she

would win. in fact they wanted her to win. look, jim comey, ari fleischer had it right, jim comey is known as a grandstander and showboat. it very much bothered the president as somebody head of the fbi who acted thusly. he fired him for other reasons obviously. he didn't need any reason to fire him. he had plenty. the fact that he put, he put everybody in a very bad position when he usurped the responsibilitied, duty, right of attorney general loretta lynch in department of justice. rosenstein, may of 2017, one of my favorite documents ever, because they lay out that he actually said people of differing views all agree on one thing that comey had mishandled the clinton investigation by running in front of the cameras. so, no, i'm not going to give them credit we already know people were running around trying to put their thumbs on the scale. so we know a little bit, we don't know everything. i think what happened after

trump was elected during transition is probably what intrigues me most. which is after they were shocked and world was shocked that donald trump was elected and they were trying to undo the election or redo the election, of course they can't do that, but they were trying to declassify software, lower the classification, that is all you need to know. ainsley: kellyanne, we want to talk i immigration with you. we hear reports. border patrol agents can't do jobs on the border because helping migrants with their health, getting them sodas, bottles. border agents are back in the place and hire babysit es for migrants? >> when i said that's right. i wasn't agreeing with the part that they can't do their jobs. their jobs are being diverted into into trying to care for infants and young children and making sure that people are safe, which is, which is what they're doing. people don't see enough of that footage i think. look, the president trump is on

the right side of this because bloomberg had ridiculous report that 1.7 million miles of wall was being built. 120. can list it out for you, what pieces, primary walls, secondary walls replaced, being freshly built, yuma, san diego, rio grande valley. people have to look at the facts. we need more people at the border. when the president unveiled his new immigration plan a couple weeks ago, talked about full and final border security he made very clear we didn't listen to politicians on capitol hill to put together the immigration plan. we listened to the brave men and will on the border. they are overwhelmed. they are being diverted from protecting the border, providing frankly health and wellness. we're trying to move people down there who can fulfill those duties. we have new acting director of i.c.e. i think it is incredibly important to recognize all these democrats have said, abolish i.c.e., get rid of i.c.e., i.c.e. alone, forget about

everybody else, i.c.e. alone interdicted enough fentanyl to kill all of us coming over the border through other ports of entry. they're trying to stop the flow of drugs, flow of people and trying to help people make it to the border. brian: president said i will not legislate if you're going to investigate but it has been brought up bill clinton investigated by newt gingrich for impeachment they were pushing forward with infrastructure plans specifically. will the president be open while they investigate because they're not going to stop, to doing anything at the border, number one because the comprehensive plan you introduced will not get passed even though you like it to in 2019 or infrastructure? are they open to reproachment? >> sure, we're ready for that. we can work with them on infrastructure, drug pricing, bipartisan issues but the president's point last week was an important one. i was in there. nancy pelosi was very embarrassed in front of her colleagues. she can say whatever she wants. he took the case to her, why an

hour before coming here would you go in front of the microphones say the president is engaged in a coverup? i don't do coverups. you know that. why would you do that? why couldn't she walk by the microphones? is anybody capable of that. i could get back to you this afternoon and get back to you this morning on democratic meeting and our progress with president on the infrastructure. she made a different choice. she cannot control her testimony per donald trump and cannot control her caucus. there is lot of pressure from new members to impeach, impeach, older guard are saying hold on, we're not there yet, she said that herself. of course the president is ready to work on drug pricing. he is working without them. we had the lowest prescription drug prices in decades. we will continue to do that. i will say something, bill clinton was guilty. he had no choice. donald trump has been exonerated from collusion and obstruction in the mueller report and through the attorney general and deputy attorney general's conclusions. bill clinton was guilty. he lied under oath on

august 17th, 1998. i watched i. he was having a sexual relationship with an intern steps away in the oval office. he was not being investigated by newt gingrich. he was investigated by ken starr, by independent couples sell. brian: kellyanne, good point. thanks so much. >> take care. ainsley: 14 minutes after the top of the hour. powerful storms ripping through the country and where live where a tornado touched down in pennsylvania. that is comingju up next. at farmers, we know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two. ♪ we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum ♪ with advil liqui-gels, what stiff joints? what bad back? advil is... relief that's fast. strength that lasts. you'll ask... what pain? with advil liqui-gels.

way above average for april and may. we'll see what happens in june. the pattern is going to break down, the highway, the jet stream we need for the storms is it going to kind of move. that is good news. so we won't have the severe threat we've seen over last several weeks. flooding concerns are still going to be valid throughout the next couple weeks. storm reports, we had storm reports in pennsylvania. tornado warned storms in new york and new jersey. here is what we're dealing with today. same areas, right? from texas through the plain states, across ohio river valley in towards the mid-atlantic and northeast. heavily populated neighborhoods takes one, takes one tornado through a big city. that will cause massive amounts of destruction. the kansas city area we had a report of a tornado, several reports of tornadoes outside of that region which was lucky for them. but still reports of destruction and injuries unfortunately. we still have severe thunderstorm watches in effect for parts of arkansas,

tennessee, parts of texas as well. some same areas getting severe weather threat. tough tell you, we've been talking about tornadoes but the flooding is still going to be such a concern over next couple weeks. the arkansas river, historic levels, missouri river, mississippi river, all water has to go downstream. people were talking about this in oklahoma and parts of missouri, this is their harvey. this is their harvey. so this something we'll be following certainly over next couple weeks. brian: thanks, janice. appreciate it. 20 minutes after the hour. trey gowdy clashed with john brennan especially over the anti-trump dossier. >> do you know who commissioned the steele dossier? >> i don't. >> did the cia rely on it? >> no. >> why not? pete: what does trey gowdy think about that exchange nearly go years later? brian: don't know who christopher steele is? ♪

committee. ainsley: you act if he was arrested. brian: now he is free to speak. mr. gowdy, as you look at the witness, watch the tape from 2017 do you really think he didn't know who did the dossier and do you really think the cia didn't use isn't. >> i don't know which is worse, that he had no idea who investigated the steele dossier, what comey also did not, was not familiar with chris steele when we asked him about him. i don't know which is worse, you give people all the powers that they have no idea who under them is using it, or the worst-case scenario they may have misspoken when they gave their testimony before congress. ainsley: do you think they were lying or they didn't ask questions who wrote the dossier and investigate it? >> you know, i don't know, ainsley. i try really hard not to accuse people of committing crimes unless there is sufficient factual predicate for it.

i know i spent a lot of time asking jim comey about the origins of the russia probe. i was stunned to learn he had no idea peter strzok signed the the initiation document. i was stunned how little he new about kris steel and defrocked as fbi source and wept back to bruce ohr. i don't know which is worse, they did not know or did know and why not leveling with us. pete: if you had brennan in front of you today, what would you ask him? >> i think i would go back to the beginning. i understand why our country was really interested in what russia was doing to us. i want to better understand when that became comingled with this belief that the trump campaign was somehow in cahoots with russia. go back to the very beginning. what is the factual pretty can cat for russia? what is the factual predicate for believing the trump campaign was involved? you get into george

papadopoulos, that you provided information you later extracted from him. we'll get into fisa, fall of 2016. those are two separate lines of inquiry. the origins of the probe, then the fisa application. i would go chronologically figure out what john brennan knew and when. then we'll get into his briefing of harry reid, whether or not that was the, that was the leak where the rest of the world learned about the dossier. brian: a lot of people are saying, okay now democrats are pushing back we'll unveil the ways and practices of our intelligence community, compromising future investigations. so adam schiff is really concerned about that, but when he was concerned about last year two, years, when you asked president obama to declassify all the russia information? here is one of the quotes. while trump stonewalls the public from learning the truth about his obstruction of justice, trump and barr conspired to weaponize law enforcement and classified information against political

enemies. the coverup entering a new and dangerous phase. this is un-american. that is adam schiff today. in 2016 president obama can and must declassify as much as possible about russia hacking our elections. rest assured trump won't. what adam schiff should we believe? >> neither one. here's the thing, schiff is an overtly ambitious partisan wannabe senator from california. so your expectations should be exceedingly low for adam schiff. what i find amusing is the duplicity with which the d.c. media covers these events. remember 2016 and 2017, the front page of almost every major newspaper was some leak of classified information in 2016 and 2017. they didn't care about that. now they're concerned as bill barr as he looks into the origins of this investigation may disseminate classified information. so schiff, your expectations should be really low. the media, that is where you

should be very disappointed in the duplicity you've seen over the last two years. pete: it will continue. i have no doubt about that. brian: here is what james comey said. james comey in a column today said there was no corruption, there was no treason, there was no attempted coupe, those are lies, dumb lies at that. ainsley: he also said the fbi wasn't out to get trump. brian: thoughts? >> my thoughts are 99.9% of all fbi agents are wonderful people. unfortunately the ones that comey picked to lead this probe wanted clinton 100 million to nothing, thought trump was destablizing for their democracy, promised to stop his campaign, had an insurance policy if he won, more interested in impeachment than figuring out what russia did to us in 2016. there are a lot of good fbi agents. unfortunately comey didn't make any of them. whatever damage is done to the

fbi, jim comey can look no further than himself for that. ainsley: trey gowdy. thank you so much. >> thank you. brian: thanks, trey gowdy. ainsley: 31 after the hour. president trump getting high praise following his trip to japan. >> very powerful couple days for the president. i think the president is on fire with this program. he is completing promises he made to the american people. brian: 29 minutes before the top of the hour, martha maccallum got the exclusive interview. she is walking around the wall next. ♪ but in my mind i'm still 35. that's why i take osteo bi-flex, to keep me moving the way i was made to. it nourishes and strengthens my joints for the long term. osteo bi-flex - now in triple strength plus magnesium.

roof collapsed. this is where someone lived. if you walk this way, you can see into their dining room an also their kitchen. the sink, pots and pans should be food insulation is falling down. ceiling pieces on the ground from where this tornado hit. back further this way, is what was the bathroom. you can see how much destruction has happened in this area. we just spoke with one resident who was coming back. he was trying to get together some of his things. he said he had been staying at an apartment across the street where things were not as badly damaged. he was trying to find somewhere else to move. right now not apartment just across the way there, there is some damage. those people say they are staying in their homes right now, even though they have no power, very little water because they don't know exactly where they need to go. this building, everyone moved out yesterday. residents across the street saw u-haul, after u-haul, coming here people trying to gather

is going on in europe, in terms of hollowing out of the center of the political universe, both right and left really gaining a lot of strength. you have the populist movement there had a lot of pickup in seats in the eu parliament. you have the green movement which is very strong in europe. we talked to him a little bit about all of that last night. we also talked about the president's trip to japan. one of the things i thought was really interesting about that, was he saw it as you know, sort of a strengthening of the alliance with japan. backing off rattling the trade say per, everyone is saying they're getting along great when everyone -- brian: you predicted the trump presidency would fall apart when he left. but here is what he said what he sees now. >> he is doing a fantastic job engaging on the economic war china has been running on the united states. he is engaging the radical, communist party in china, you

know, president xi and the radicals taking control of china. saw this great effort he had in japan over the last couple days which the mainstream media is focused on his twitter feed. people in asia are focused how i bond together the japanese and american military and navy and sent a very strong signal to countries around the south china sea that the americans and the japanese will work together to make sure the sea lanes are free. he is completing the promises he made to the american people. that is why the economy is doing well. why america first, national security policy that people understand. pete: always made a case about rising china and what we need to do about it. >> also very interesting that john bolton is speaking to taiwan. so that also is something that china obviously not too happy about but it sends a pretty strong signal, a very huge market in taiwan. somebody we could consider having a deeper relationship with which also china wouldn't be too happy about. ainsley: martha, on
