celebrate. something very special. something we should grasp on to and be very fortunate that we have that. griff: a lot goes into this day. >> a lot goes into this day for months. we have been working on it for some time. we have 30 fire technicians. 31 flatbed trailers. completely fill the sky above this beautiful monument that you see behind us. griff: it's not cheap, phil, are you donating this. >> we are donating this with the sponsor very generous donation from phantom fireworks partner we have worked with it 20 years. when the event was first announced we thought we would get together to provide this special treat and special gift to the american people. griff: how did it feel to get a shoutout, a thank you from president trump? >> it's quite special. it was quite special and we really enjoyed it. something we will live with the rest of our lives. a great honor. griff: one last behind the scenes pan over this is the

tent, phil, where you will be firing the fireworks. >> that's correct. show control. everything emanates from there and controlled wirelessly to all the computers. there are 18 computers stretched along ohio drive on eve one of those flatbed trailers. griff: are you worried about the rain? >> no. it's the wind that effects us. we can fire in the rain. you have to watch the performance. griff: lastly, not to deter from the independence day celebration, but there is also a little bit of history between you and our host brian kilmeade. >> yes. i was brian's r.a. back in long island university back in the 1980s. had some good times with brian. griff: hows would the student? >> very energetic. leave it at that very energetic. griff: energetic. phil, thank you so much for being here. we appreciate you. >> happy independence day. griff: anyone you want to give a shout out to. >> mom, my wife.

july speech by the president be my country tis of me? >> honorable not the values of declaration of independence but the power of the military. this, must be said, the grand during of donald j. trump's personal self- >> this is not his military and personal general's. >> kind of military display we were used to see from the soviet union on red square on may day. >> fourth of july is supposed to be our country not the ego of the president. >> is he spending it on boosting his ego with a parade that's fundamentally about him. >> i don't think he understand this is america's birthday not his birthday. jedediah: cranky. pete beat did they miss the well-played images of eisenhower with tanks. ed: jfk and his inaugural. pete: 243 years since a bunch of folks with rifles took on the greatest empire on the world because they wanted to live free and govern themselves and give america an experiment. president trump believes we

should celebrate that as big as possible. he is the bad guy. ed: you would think people would rally behind that will campaign press secretary kayleigkayleigh mcenany says pee should come together this is the fourth of july. >> this is a salute to america. leave it to the left to be against the salute to america. we shouldn't be surprised because they won't stand for the national anthem. they are upset with a flag, an american flag on a shoe. and now they can't stand the salute to america, which is literally the title of this event as we celebrate our military. leave it to the left to be unpatriotic the day before and the day of fourth of july. jedediah: i hate to say that anyone is being unpatriotic. it's true. just enjoy today. today doesn't have to be political. it doesn't have to be about scoring political points. a day for everyone to come together, celebrate the country and try stop trying to score those 2020

political points. called salute to america as a reminder. i don't understand the point oh president trump thinks its his birthday it's not ode to president trump. he happens to be the commander-in-chief and it's independence day and salute to america. who better to make that salute than the commander-in-chief. pete: he has george washington's job. you actually think back. that is the job that donald trump currently has today. fly that flag big and proud. whether it has 50 stars or 13-ton in a circle. ed: think about what happened on the eve of this holiday with nike pulling sneakers with betsy ross flag. turns out president obama his inauguration. you see speakers there. there is the betsy ross flag. pete: i want a pair of those so bad. ed: look at the obama inaugural in 2000 -89s. a whole host of flag. at least one of them right up there on the capitol. jedediah: two of them on either side.

ed: 2013 inaugural as well. if it was good enough for barack obama's inaugurals, both of them, how is it now all of a sudden this racist, awful symbol if for the obama and previous inaugurals and the ones that come after this flag is flying proudly. jedediah: selective outrage. same thing going on with the border when you see borders resurfacing from 2014 of the same processing centers. now all of a sudden there is this outrage from the media. i understand you don't like president trump. have you made that abundantly clear. your selective outrage shows consistently on these issues when the very same things that happened before didn't seem to bother you at all. now suddenly you are going crazy over all of it. ed: if it was a cage during obama years. it was okay. anything connected to president trump you are outraged. pete: betsy ross was an abolitionist. can we talk about that for a second? she designed the first flag for our country as our

country. she didn't own slaves. she was a quaker who was abolitionist. ed: she was bringing people together. pete: she was bringing people together which that flag has done since our inception. ceo of nike. will colin kaepernick which he is at this point. too far. ed: they are getting not behind the flag. not behind patriotism. behind nike, watch. >> see that and my hope is that they didn't just do it to do it that they understand the significance there. and, look, there are a lot of things in our history that are still very painful. >> at the time that we seek to repair the damage done following the legacy of slavery and segregation and jim crow. i think it's important to take into account the impression that that kind of symbol would have for many of our fellow americans and so respect the decision that

nike made. ed: respect it. on the other hand, people are respecting the flag and they are speaking with their voices and with their pocketbooks basically balls our own jillian mealy in philadelphia. joining the show in a few moments from betsy ross' house. she sent us an email a few moments ago the museum of american revolution can't keep the betsy ross in stock right now. they sold a thousand of them yesterday which is far more than an average day. people are responding to nike. pete: i don't have many regrets in life. what's a regret you just carry it with you? i got a flag tattoo on my arm. i only regret i didn't getth betsy ross design on it. jedediah: never too late. pete: somewhere else there is a lot of skin. ed: nike friends@foxnews.com. send us pics of what you are doing. pete: please send them in. jedediah: navy seal eddie gallagher will retire after

pete: ron, you are going to write this all morning on the program. question, do you also know the declaration? go ahead. >> i had a choice. i could have memorized the declaration or the constitution. the declaration was so fitting to this july 4th. i went for the constitution because i do believe this is a document that held our country together. plus this is three times as long. 5,000 words. more of a challenge. ed: more impressive all morning. hang tight. we're going to get back to you. pete: that is super cool. awesome, ron, thank you very much. millennials are fleeing cities for the suburbs. our next guest says democrats are driving them out. we've got the numbers to prove it on this independence day. stay with us on "fox & friends." ♪ ♪ new align whole food probiotic.

happening. we will see more of that. jedediah: i was just having this conversation. i have live in manhattan. i was just have this conversation with a friend of mine i could buy a one bedroom in manhattan. when you bring all of these cost together. talk about the costs of businesses leaving the city all together amazon, for example. >> that's what's happening in a lot of cities. new york city, for example, there was very, very poor leadership and chased amazon out and chased businesses out. that's going to have an impact on millennials for sure. also chasing even high earners out. job creators. why would they stay here? if you don't need to be in new york city to make money, you might as well move to florida or texas where taxes are lower. they are spending less money. there is just a more efficient government. i think you are going to see this move to red states from blue states that's millennials but also high earners and job creators.

museum of the american revolution. thank you very much for joining us. you are located a few blocks away from here. >> third and chestnut street in philadelphia. jillian: 1776, 1777 debatable exactly when this went down. as the story goes george washington visited betsy ross. they knew each other. they had ties. she had done work for him previously. he showed her a picture of a sketch. >> that's the story. that's right. it's impossible with the evidence we have now to prove exactly how this happened. jillian: it's history as we know it. >> exactly. what we do know. jillian: the sketch was this? >> these flags were produced during the revolutionary war and for more than a century afterwards. jillian: the actual sketch that he showed her had the six, correct? >> six pointed star. >> that changed though. as the story goes, we keep saying, she is the one who said let's make it a five pointed star. five pointed star with the 13 stars. and then it was the flag obviously with the 13 stripes. and that's the flag that

became what we know as the first. >> absolutely. yeah. as you know, the congress said that there would be 13 stars representing a new constellation. it didn't specify what the pattern would be. so the pattern that is associated with betsy ross' circle of 13 stars we think was actually inspired by currency, paper money designed by benjamin franklin which was a circle with links of a chain, each one representing a state with the motto we are one, which is a wonderful sentiment for fourth of july. jillian: representing the 13 colonies. behind me here is the betsy ross house. old city philadelphia. this is the most historic square mile in all of america by the way. this is a part of it. it is believed that betsy ross lived in this area possibly in this county. some believe it was a couple down. betsy ross 1776 to 1779 she wented that's where she had her upholstery shop. take a look across the street, do you see that massive american flag that is humphrey's flag company.

that's been around for at least 150 years. we actually spoke to a gentleman who is a part owner here in this company. and take a listen to what he had to say about their sales that have skyrocketed over the last 24 hours. >> in our 150-year history, we have sold more betsy rosses than ever. >> jillian: why do you think that is? >> definitely because of the nike thing. the betsy ross flag is the original flag of the united states. and there is no reason that you shouldn't fly that flag. and it's ridiculous to assign some other, you know, political -- whatever to it. jillian: okay. so he said on a normal day they sell about 30 of the betsy ross flags. he said yesterday they sold about 1,000. he said people want to get their hands on them. so, look, you have people who are arguing against this. you have people who want that flag. they want to hold on to it for that sense of pride.

it's kind of interesting to hear that coming from a store that's been around for 150 years. scott, real quick before we go. the museum down the block, lots of fourth of july festivities, right? >> museum of the american revolution. we actually have a display of 40, 13-star american flags produced over a century and a half. jillian: love it. thank you very much for joining it. i appreciate it? >> a pleasure. jillian: send it back to you. ed: thanks for the history lesson. i love it. happy fourth. a veteran owned clothing company outraged by nikey's move is firing back release of a betsy ross flag t-shirt you see right there. jedediah: u.s. army vet tyler merritt. welcome. >> good morning. >> thank you so much for having me. jillian: you gave me this t-shirt which i love by the way. very popular t-shirt right now. what was your inspiration to do this? >> symbolism like we were talking about before. this is the 1 original cyclones this is when we decided to break away from tyranny and oppression of england. we came together, a diverse group of individuals came

together for the common good of creating this great nation. and now nike is using this symbolism as a negative term. and we divided to put victory on there because a lot of people don't know because in greek mythology nike was wing goddess that presided over a battlefield tone sure victory. i would like to hope that after all of this controversy and everyone has this discussion that we're victorious that this is a symbol of america's greatness. pete: why are we allowing this instead to be a symbol of our not so greatness or divisiveness? >> for whatever reason, nike has allowed colin kaepernick to be their moral guide. and i don't know how this came about. i would equate collin to the teenage kid in his grandmother's basement tweeting out offensive things but having no intention of coming on stage and talking to you or talking to you about why he has decided to make this divisive message. because he took the knee during the national anthem

very, very disrespectful, in my opinion. but he said it's nothing to do with the flag. i respect the flag. and then fast forward later, controversy dwindles down maybe the bank account is running low. and he came up with this great tweet. ed: he also did not serve this country with the flag on his shoulder. you did. >> absolutely. ed: what does that mean to you. >> it means a lot. when you talk about that flag and people dessays creatdesdesecrateit. it makes the hair on my arm stand up. we have talked about it before. 's it the equivalent of the jewish individual and swastika as a veteran if someone takes that flag draped over a casket and sets it on fire does anything other than pay respect to it. jedediah: tell us about your company you have raised $1.5 million. where do the proceeds go from these t-shirts. >> as of yesterday we sold about 20,000 of those designs.

jedediah: wow. >> what we have been able to do grow from my garage to over 200 u.s.a. employees. all of these shirts are made in the u.s. nike does not make their products in the u.s. our proceeds go back into the community. they go back into employment. we are able to take a large portion of our funds and fund our nonprofit initiative for the veterans village. we build tiny homes for severely wounded and for homeless veterans. pete: it's cool when you are out and about. i see your shirts everyone. guys and girls wear nine line. spreading patriotism by what you wear. >> patriotism can be cool again. we have to get over this nonsense. ed: we have patriotic viewers by the way want to know how to get these. >> nine line apparel.com. we put a very special fox 20 out there. ed: a little discount? what's the specific of nine line. >> in the military nine line is a call when someone is injured they call someone like me into pull them off

the battlefield. and our context we like to say we are a call-to-action. it becomes a conversation starter of what does that mean? and we have that. difference between those who served and those who have not. there is that gap, that divides. we are trying to close that. pete: i used to have the nine line medevac memorized i think the last line is nbc. nuclear biological and chemical. never used it but i had it right here. thanks a lot. appreciate it, brother. jedediah: thank you for your service. ed: absolutely. pete: great stuff. president trump's america salute to america. we are live on the national mall coming up next. ed: check back with anna and rick live from patriots point, south carolina. look how beautiful that is ♪ it's a party, party ♪ over the last 24 hours,

tanks, m 1 abrams tanks. 70 tons. way too heavy for this area. they are a little farther off along the mall. of the bradlys you see here. bands and flyovers from bombers to fighter jets. the blue angels may be here. and the fireworks. the fireworks are going to be controlled and essentially shot from over there under that tent where you see the blue stuff covering the controls. we were fortunate in the last hour to talk to fril phil grucci fireworks by grucci. we asked him what this day meant to him. this is what he had to say. >> we are doing a small part to salute america and give the american people something to celebrate. it means freedom to us. our independence is something that we should celebrate. it's something very special. griff: not everybody is celebrating though. there are some protests around town we hear the baby trump blimp may be blown up. it can't fly. they didn't get the permit to fly it. the democrats on the 2020

presidential field, they are pretty much universally panning it. listen to. this to prop up a presidential ego is not reflecting well on our country. it's not a show of strength. it's a show of insecurity. >> boosting his ego with a parade that's fundamentally about him. >> i don't think he understands this is america's birthday not his birthday. pete: wha griff: what you are looking at trying to give you a little bit of perspective on the clouds. low clouds already seen here. it's going to be at least 12 hours before we have any flyover though we don't have the exact time. some time coinciding around when the president does. we are hearing from pentagon producer lucas tomlinson there could be weather effecting particularly the flyovers if they don't have the cloud ceiling that they need. particularly for things like blue angels to fly over. guys? pete: griff, thanks a lot. we will be watching our national mall. ed: live on the fox news channel this afternoon. pete: checking the papers morning. of course, the "new york post" as they would do on a

day like this, fittingly, america the beautiful with the betsy ross flag. i pulled up my flailing "new york times" on the cover you have got iceland is melting. so apparently that's the big story today. in the column on the side the headline is a new salute for the fourth starring trump. of course he wants to make this about a salute to america. everyone else is making it about him. ed: i feel like it's appropriate that you are barbecuing the "new york times" today. >> i might use this in bye my bonfire this evening. iceland the fourth of july. jedediah: rush limbaugh comes out and says freedom scares the left. take a listen. >> the left wants equal time on independence -- they want equal time to make their case on the day celebrating independence day essentially. well, i mean, that's what it means that they're upset that trump is having this gigantic celebration of american independence day. they don't think it ought to

happen. what will be on display at trump's joy u joyous day bash tonight will be celebration of freedom. which is the real threat they face. freedom is the problem. self-reliant people are a great threat. ed: yeah. pete: bingo. jedediah: that's a great point though. when you look at progressive policies. they are all about giving that power to the government and taking that power away from people. this is a day when you are celebrating people's freedom. you are celebrating their second amendment rights. celebrating everything that makes this country great. all of those policies that hard left progressives are putting out would change. they would threaten potentially all. that's a great point by rush limbaugh. pete: second amendment rights they are not celebrating those. they are trying to take them away. you know i'm a journalist. no i'm not really at all. i have got to get it right it wasn't ice land, it was greenland. i'm so sorry i feel like that's some sort of cultural appropriation. i don't know what i was doing. "new york times" bring it to

you. pete: another big story building up all week long border patrol agents having to defend themselves against some really nasty accusations from the left. remember, the border patrol has a special trauma unit that actually goes in to try to help people. medical problems. people out who have crossed the border illegally. they have gone miles into the country. they are without water. it wasn't the border patrol's fault that they decided to go and do that and try to help them. try to help their children. the left you have got aoc ands or attacking them on and on and on. one of those leaders from the tucson sector border patrol, the chief there pushed back and talked about just what they're doing to try to help families. watch. >> diapers. baby wipes, clothing for children. baby formula. crackers. raisins. tuna fish. toothbrush preloaded with

toothpaste. available to everyone in they want more than one. >> water cooler. there is water -- this is a combination toilet, sink and the sink provides fresh water. there is nothing wrong with this water. we are not forcing aliens to drink out of toilet. ed: remember alexandria ocasio-cortez the congresswoman claiming people were forced to drink out of the toilet. pals tores were there on tours said they didn't see anything like that. now you see border patrol officials say you know what? i will drink the water. you may have misunderstood there is a toilet right by the sink. they are trying to be humane to the people. jedediah: no question overcrowded. we know that. that's why many have been fighting for border security and fighting for stuff prevent this influx of people. these processing centers can't sustain it? what i love about folks on the left they are very critical of the centers. they don't want to do anything to prevent this problem. ed: aoc voted against the 4

or $5 billion to go and help these people. pete: they are not funding what would be required to fix it. also she also called it a creamp which is concentration camps i havener seen oni havenever seeno run through a creamp for a better life: quickly built or refitted detention centers, just tell them not to come. all problems solved. this is a volume problem. this is an asylum problem where the people are attracted to come to our country. the border patrol is doing the best they can. jedediah: also very exhausting to watch these people on the front lines doing they the best they can. put a video out and say listen, this is actually what's going on. it's really infuriating that they have been under attack and vilified so long for just doing their job. democrats should take a minute to think about that. there is enormous problem

with overcrowding. they are doing the best they can. they want to protect our national security. they want to ensure humanitarian rights for people. they can only do so much. you need to help them. if you are complaining about it. you are in congress, do something about it. pete: i hope we have it. i usually listen to producers in this case i'm not going to do. we need to replay the robert clip. she stumbled on the reality that border patrol agents are facing on the border. here is what she said. >> i can tell you also the agents that have taken me aside were imploring me to please report back what's happening here because they don't want any part of it anymore. and they do actually feel like it's making us less safe because they are not at the border. they are there, in their eyes, they are not social workers. they are not supposed to be watching over a 4-year-old. some 9 and 10-year-olds. these are not agents that are eequipped to taking care of them and throwing money at it is not going to fix it. pete: highly critical of the president but admits ultimately they are doing what they can.

ed: border is less secure because the people who are supposed to secure the border are going and acting like social workers which she admits they are not supposed to do. jedediah: do your job, congress. we are waiting. ed: friends@foxnews.com. send us a note. jedediah: fox news alert. republican lawmakers that called for president trump's impeachment is leaving the party. michigan congressman justin amash announcing he is becoming an independent in the "the washington post." he writes i'm asking you to join me in rejecting the partisan loyalty and rhetoric that divide and dehumanize us. adding we can do better than this two party system. the five term congressman has faced heavy criticism from the president and republican colleagues. steve: is that the amash voice? pete: bye-bye. jedediah: navy seal eddie gallagher will retire after being cleared of murder charges. gallagher joins pete on "fox & friends" since his first interview since the verdict. >> this has put a black eye on this community but i want the nation to know that this is not what our community is

about. this community is full of elite warriors that i have been honored and blessed to work with for the past 20 years. and i thank everybody that is still serving this community. jedediah: gallagher was found guilty of posing with the body of a dead isis fighter. he was sentenced to demotion, four months in pay in prison which he already served. jedediah: thousands of officers are on patrol as drones monitor millions for the first time. on top of the empire state building contestants weigh in for nathan's hot dog eating contestant. >> the number one ranked eater in the world, the 11-time nathan's famous champion of the world. 74 hot dogs and buns. joey chestnut. >> he has the mustard sauce.

policy, that couldn't happen. >> you talk about jeh johnson, left-wing candidates, that is a measured guy. he doesn't let words loosely fall out of his mouth like i do. he is seriously saying this is defacto open border policy when you're unwilling to enforce the law. you cpb guards under the bus. you talk about opening up our asylum. cory booker literally crossing the border, a presidential candidate with migrants and tweeting about how much freedom should be. that is what "spartacus" does. ed: we have a picture right here. jedediah: jeh johnson was on this sew in april talking about border. let's listen. what he had to say. >> by my measure, four thousands arrests in a day, one one hundred thousand in a month, the city shows up on the border is a

crisis it overwhelms our immigration officials ability to deal with it. you have to absorb that population somehow into southern border towns. and so it oaf well manies the humanitarian effort on our southern border. over well manies the dhs personnel. ed: that was turning point in the debate then, still had nancy pelosi and chuck schumer saying it was manufactured crisis. obama's homeland security secretary says now it is real crisis. now they admit it's a real crisis and they want open borders. he says that is a dumb idea. pete: now they turn it, humanitarian crisis. manufactured crisis. manufactured crisis. so clear the talking point, amiss sis. like an actor doing press for a film. certain things they want to say. entire democratic party was saying same thing. pete: they condemn the border
