>> dana: that is super cool, oh, my gosh. everybody is being creative and nice to each other. let's do it all we can. please catch memorial day planned a >> if you haven't figured out if you are for me or trump then you ain't black. pete: welcome to "fox & friends" this saturday morning. joe biden may have had biggest blunder yet. facing backlash after telling black voters you ain't black if they are torn between supporting him and president trump. >> biden making the controversial comments on the breakfast club radio show as he defended his record with the black community. >> at first a biden aid said it was a joke only to walk it back hours later. griff: good morning, it is memorial day.

with jen and pet jedediah and n. pete: distinguished gentleman from our nation's capital instead of swamp creature. jed, great to have you as well. the birds are chirping. they are welcome as well to "fox & friends" this morning. jedediah: yeah. pete: we are glad they are here. jedediah: yes. pete: it's been a big week. we led with it out the gate as we should. joe biden did an interview with char la main he hosts a show called the breakfast club on friday morning it. wasn't soft. a lot of questions to the former vice president. it was one question and one answer in particular that has a lot of people talking this morning with the vice president's response, here's what he had to say. >> listen, you got to come see us when you come to new york v.p. biden. >> i. >> it's a long way until november. we have got more questions.

>> you got more questions. i tell anybody if you have a problem figuring out whether you are for moore me or for trump then you ain't black. >> it ain't got nothing to do with trump. it means i want something for my community. >> take a look at my record, man. i extended the voting act 25 years. i have a record that is second to none. the naacp has endorsed me every time i have run. i mean, come on, take a look at the record. pete: what do you think, jed? jedediah: what was interesting to me about it is that he obviously made a blunder. he didn't even realize he had made a blunder because when you say something that may have come out wrong you immediately jump in and try to remedy the situation. you don't even see that he is just talking as if nothing happened. this is the problem with biden. he doesn't often think before he speaks. pete: he doesn't know what's going on. jedediah: sometimes it's just silly and sometimes it's offensive. this someone of these instances

did he just say that and not even catch himself? griff: because of this history of biden talking down to black voters that really caused the outrage he did this in 2012 saying that mitt romney was going to put y'all back in chains talking to a largely fraternal audience in danville, virginia. but obviously his handlers quickly got on it. so biden backtracked with a full-throated apology when he jumped on a conference call with us black chamber of commerce members. listen to his backtrack just a little while later. >> i never ever ever have taken the african-american community for granted. i have had their support. i shouldn't have been such a wise guy. i shouldn't have been so cavalier. i don't take it for granted at all. and no one, no one should vote for any party based on their race or religion or background.

jedediah: yeah. the absurdity of this though. you realize he had to leave that interview. someone had to pull him aside and say hey, do you realize what you just said and then he had to issue a statement. it's incredible when you think about it. pete: don't you think he probably walked away that went great. don't you think that really went well? jedediah: yeah. he was just like what are you guys talking about and then all of a sudden he has to issue -- it's truly remarkable. robert l. johnson, the bet co-founder said this to fox news vice president's statement today represents the arrogant and out-of-touch attitude who has the audacity to tell black people the descendants of slaves they are not black unless they vote for him. this proves unequivocally democratic nominee black people owe him their vote without question. even though we as black people know it's the exact opposite. he should spend the rest of his campaign apologizing to every black person he meets.

pretty strong statement there. pete: very strong statement. not where you want to be if you are joe biden attempting to appeal to that demographic. just imagine if any other candidate had said it any other way in any other context, they would have been excoriated for it. now, here's the thing the media wants to defend joe biden we have seen it every turn. the democratic candidate who could potentially beat donald trump they want to be for that person. even the democrats in the media who are asked about biden's comments could not defend it. here's part of what they said. >> what he said to jess not no noe one should qualify who is going to be black or anything else i found inappropriate. >> i found that cringe inducing thing to say. >> it could have been spoken differently. >> they were unfortunate and unnecessary. i think the former vice president as he acknowledged has to be more careful. >> this is not the first time he has basically shown how

insensitive he can be. >> the level of hubris it takes for a white man an old white man or any white person to even say that he can determine who is black and who isn't is clearly outlandish. griff: that's a great point it. is this old white man with this paternalistic tonal talking down. we have senator tim scott coming up. that is an interview you do not want to miss this morning. remember, guys, it was the state of south carolina and the african-american vote specifically that turned his campaign around. now, rather than everyone talking this morning about the policies that he is going to bring as president to benefit african-americans, to solve the coronavirus problems that affected african-american communities, we're talking about his pattern of insensitive comments. pete: yeah. if donald trump had said that or any of us had said that, we would be immediately dismissed as the blatant racist.

instead joe biden gets the benefit of the doubt because of who the media is. tim scott, not prone to hyperbole came out very, very strong in response to what the vice president said. we will have him later on. it's an intliew you are not going to want to miss. jedediah: story we are following are these protests being held in more than a dozen states this weekend. obviously people rising up. pushing for governors to relax these restrictions on them as the new jersey gym that defied state orders the one that pete visited it reopened this week and now closing after legal push back from the state. pete, can you just tell us a little bit about what your experience was like there visiting? i saw that clip and it was really remarkable to me. so most, decent, wonderful, responsible, respectful people in the world you are ever going to meet ian smith and his business partner frank at ait wilfrank atilisgym if big businn we can too and be responsible with it. met with the full heavy hand of

governor murphy and government. they have been issued multiple summons. customers have been arrested for going to the gym. now the update is -- well, there is update this morning. we will follow with throughout the weekend. ian smith explained what the gym -- what's happening to the gym this weekend. here he is. >> governor murphy pulled a fast one on us at the end of the day. and put a court order in to a state judge who is, of course, going to uphold state wishes for us to be shut down via the health department. once a judge upholds and mandates and it becomes a court order, a violation of that becomes much more serious. so, that being said, this weekend, atilis gym bellmawr has been closed. wwe have been robbed of due process and constitutional

rights. pete: i got a judge filed last minute order friday night so they can't respond tuesday because of the long weekend. he expects his gym this morning to be padlocked outside so it cannot open based on a non-cited health violation even though the governor and his team, no one from the state has been inside the gym, we reached out to new jersey's governor for a statement. we have not heard back. they are cracking down. i will tell you this: atilis gym is fighting back. they have a constitutional argument to make in court to get a stay on this. they have been on the front lines of this fight, guys. griff: that's good news to know. late breaking news there here in washington, i have got to turn our attention to the flynn case. fbi director chris wray internal review of the handling of flynn's case. garrett tenney joins us live with more of the current agents involved in misconduct. good morning. >> good morning, this comes

after the justice department moved to drop the case geneva convention him. that review by the doj is being led by the u.s. attorney for the eastern district of missouri jeff jensen. in a statement the fbi explained director ray authorized this additional level of review now that the department of justice, through mr. jensen's work has developed sufficient information to determine how to proceed in the flynn case. this after action review will be handled by the bureau's inspection division which is similar to an internal affairs office in a police department. and the fbi says this review will have two main purposes. first evaluating the bureau's role in the case and determining if any current employees engaged in misconduct and, second, identifying whether improvements to fbi procedures are warranted. it's modern to note that this review does have its limitations though. the fbi notes it doesn't have the prosecutorial authority to bring a criminal case and only current employees can be disciplined. as for former employees, the fbi does not have the ability to

take any disciplinary action. this all comes as the acting director of national intelligence reveals he is working to declassify some of the transcripts and intelligence reports related to flynn's contacts with the former russian ambassador. last night ric grenell tweeted: i already started the declassification for the few we received. they should be released in full though. the public deserves to see it. this review by the fbi comes after weeks of mounting pressure from republican lawmakers on both the fbi and director wray to release to them more information about how the case of michael flynn was handled. looks like we are going to be getting those answers soon. back to y'all. griff: that's right. thank you very much. to garrett's point he is noting that the fbi doesn't have prosecutorial power but it is certainly going to lend perhaps information to the durham investigation which does have prosecutorial power. but a lot of folks like trey gowdy who was chairman of the

oversight committee three, four years ago saying now where was wray then? why now? pete: yes. great point, griff. jedediah: also great job by ric grenell who is trying his best to bring transparency to the system often laughed at. thank you, for that powerful storms ripping across parts of texas overnight. spawning a possible tornado.

2020. >> memories of 5 november 2009. it also brings up the memories. also brings up previous interviews what we need to talk about we need to do so these scenarios stop happening on u.s. soil. pete: what do we need to do officials have verified social media accounts likely associated with the shooter posting about support for isis and al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. so, this support is still out there. these attacks are still happening, seven of them at military bases since fort hood. how do we get our arms around this threat that's still there? >> well, one of the first things you need to do is go back to the survivors of the shooting from fort hood. it's like a lessons learned scenario that we have in the military. get with each one of us so we can give you a step-by-step

scenario how what happened. then we need to apply those lessons into policies or sops throughout the whole military. also, we need to do a better job at vetting our foreign nationals that are training on u.s. soil. because trust that they do a strong vetting process with us, we need to double ours to override what they do with us when we train on their soil. pete: staff sergeant in this case it appears to be a just citizen who is radicalized. what more do we need to do to prevent the radicalization of people in our own country? every individual. you know lifestyle. it's just not at the workplace. so, therefore, it gives you a better understanding of how a person ticks, it's like you add the yeng witying with the yang. a person's weakness becomes

heating up. will democrats be able to take the majority, that's the question. let's ask amanda mackey she is running to unseat charlie crist. amanda, welcome to the show. >> good morning. jedediah: it's great to have you here. i was looking at your background and looking into it. one of the things that really intrigued me is that your family fled iran in 1979. i feel like that uniquely positions you in terms of the values of freedom that are so important in this country. if you just talk a little bit about your background and why that lends itself that people should be voting for you. >> absolutely. thank you so much. my family and i fled a religious oppressive government in iran in 1979. i was just an infant. and we came to the united states. my parents were 26, and they had, you know, they didn't have two nickels to rub together. they worked very hard. my mother delivered yellow pages to put my father through school. he ultimately became a surgeon and we lived the american dream.

that's what this is really about. that's what is at stake for our country right now is the american dream. i think that people want to see the american dream stay alive and well. and members in congress right now on the democrat side like rashida tlaib. ilhan omar aoc want to take that away from us. that's why it's so important that we have someone in congress like me, a conservative counter punch to them to be able to fight fire with fire. jedediah: now, of course, several key issues that are important in the country right now, the economy being key. so, you have five other primary candidates that you have to kind of beat before you can get to charlie crist who we know, you know, basically every day stands for something different depending on what the public wants to hear. so what makes you different from those other primary candidates? why should people say well this candidate really gets what's going on in the country and is going to help me in my situation? >> sure. well, i think it's important to understand that we need to have a congress that is controlled by

republicans. i think what people have seen is they are tired of nancy pelosi having the gavel. they are tired of the constant going after our president, the impeachment, the investigation. and they want to see someone who understands the process and can go through that and really be the counter punch being the counter punch and conservative who not only stands with the president and supporting the president's agenda but also understands and knows congress better than anyone else on this primary stage is i worked in congress for 10 years. i'm a healthcare policy expert. i understand at a very critical time for healthcare during coronavirus. i understand that also just having an understanding of small businesses. my father is a small business owner. he's a physician. i worked in his office. i understand what's at stake when people want to get back to work people want to get back to their normal lives. governors shut things down for political reasons.

governors who understands all those things and going to fight for the things americans want is really important to have. jedediah: charlie crist will not be easy to beat. he has a lot of money behind him. he has been very successful. quickly, last question, what would be your message to voters if you were to win the primary and facing against charlie crist. why should they vote for you and why should they not vote for charlie crist, more importantly? >> sure, charlie crist was one of the first members to come out on impeachment. i will tell you regardless of what the polls say the president is very popular here. we are just outside of tampa in the clearwater, st. petersburg area. he is extremely popular. and having someone like charlie crist in office who doesn't represent our voice was the first to go after the president on impeachment just tells you how out of touchy is with the people of his district. you know, charlie has been running for office since i was 9 years old. i'm 41. he has been in office for three decades. there isn't a brick in the sidewalk named after him because

he doesn't do anything for anyone. not having a true public servant here. someone willing to play politics. be part of the dccc leadership team when he was once a republican governor of the state tells you that he is so out of touch. people want someone who they can rely on. someone who will be their voice and someone who will stop the impeachment process. someone who will stop the investigations and work for the american people. jedediah: amanda, we thank you for coming on this. is important race to watch. this district leans purple and fascinating district. it will be on the national scene. we will follow along and thank you for telling us what you are all about today. appreciate it? >> thank you. jedediah: we have invited amanda's fellow candidates on the show. we have not heard back yet. we would love to have them on. if they are interested in coming on we would love to have them. thank you, amanda. america making the case for getting back to work. >> i'm opening my business right now because there is no government entity that knows how to run it better or safer than

most educated people in this subject and other business owners. i reached out to local representatives, elected officials, i spoke to house of representatives members. i spoke to some doctors. icu nurses. we compile a large, you know, resource of information and we had to make really tough decisions. our life's dreams. everything we put together is on the line at this time. the governor just indefinitely keeps extending these orders without even informing the people. some of the officials i spoke to are even telling me that the governor has been saying to the legislation that she has information that information they do not have which is why she is making these extensions. when we are working with shouldn't be partisan at all. the time when the entire nation is in a struggle together, we need people to come together. we need to stand up. we need people to, you know, make difficult decisions in this time. >> okay, james, so she has secret information that you don't have apparently and she has extend the lockdown order for a fifth time.

is your business open right now? what will happen if you continue to stay open? >> yeah. so my business has been open now. like i said freedom friday we tried to bring everybody together. mark meckler organized this with open the state.com, other business owners to follow suit. basically saying it's time. we are able to make difficult decisions. there are known things like a human immune system and perspective now with this virus because we are using actual data. this isn't the theoretical threat that was supposed to kill millions anymore. we understand this virus to a much deeper level at this point. we had the information available. and like you referred, to unless she has some secret information that, you know, the virus might make me spontaneously come bust, there is a certain level of risk in life that you just have to take. so now it's time to bring people together. it's time to become educated to

tackle this information and move forward in the right direction. pete: yeah. >> fear has crippled a lot of people in this event. you have a lot of people afraid to make the wrong decision. it's times like that throughout history when you bring people together and you make those decisions that you enact change. that's the goal of this movement is saying hey, we are not trying to harm people. we are not trying to put people at unnecessary risk. but we are trying to get back to work. we are trying to get the country back on its feet. we are trying to bring local leaders together to inspire the people that need us now more than ever because our elected officials are apparently keeping information from us in a time where we are living through a pandemic. >> james, it's become the revolt of the hair i salon owners and m owners who know their rights. they know they live in a free country and know they can operate responsibly as you are clearly showing. the effort was freedom friday, the movement is open the states.com. you are saying these business owners are saying let's move together at the same time if we

open together they can't shut us all down. real quick. 10 seconds. >> yes, sir. i mean, it's just like i said we want to encourage people to stand up. we want to bring them together. we want to get them educated because with the information is how we can fight this battle and win so let's stand up across the nation. it's going to be a national event. we want people to, you know, get on board and let's get this country back to work. pete: james gray, thank you for your courage and sharing the information today. good luck staying open as your governor tries to lock you down. open the state.com. thank you, sir. appreciate it? >> thank you very much for having me. it was a pleasure and hopefully we can speak again soon and we are back in business. pete: you got it. we salute you, thank you, sir. all right, griff. over to you for some headlines. griff: great interview, pete. thanks. time for headlines. terrifying ordeal for a teen trapped in an arizona mind shaft. the 17-year-old boy got trapped after falling off atv. the atv reportedly falling on top of him.

would, quote: provide wage replacement protection to workers who are included from the current unemployment insurance system, including undocumented immigrants. but are democrats just capitalizing on the crisis to push forward their agenda? let's bring in fox news contributor, retired ice director and author of the great book "defend the border and save lives" tom homan. tom, good morning to you. >> good morning, griff. griff: so we saw in california a relief fund created for illegal immigrants and now seattle's city council trying to follow their lead. what do you make of this. >> they want to reward illegal behavior with taxpayer money. president trump was right. he says these states shouldn't get covid stimulus relief money if they're going to mismanage their budget. giving taxpayer money to people who committed a crime by entering this country illegally it's a crime. and to work here illegally and for employers to hire them illegally to undercut their competition and not pay employment taxes and commit tax evasion. illegal aliens using united

states citizens social security number and identity theft and ruining their credit. all the crime with illegal immigration the democrats want to reward it. i'm with the president on this. it's ludicrous. griff: tom, i remember back when we were covering the caravan, the drivers that brought the unprecedented numbers coming. do you see these sorts of issues drivers that could threaten a relapse in the number of people trying to cross the border illegally? >> absolutely. getting a job in this country illegally is bun one of the enticements that bring people to this country and puts them in harm's way. these are vulnerable people and but they have got to understand when you enticements nancy pelosi's stimulus package not only makes it illegal for illegal aliens to work here violating the law employers who hire illegal aliens get a pass, too. what kind of message does that send to the rest of the world can you forget about our laws, enter our country illegally. we will reward you not only with

a job that cuts u.s. citizen employee, we are going to give you money on top of that. it's just ridiculous. griff: tom, you believe these funds could have a better use. >> absolutely. look. this is memorial day weekend. i have an idea. take these millions of dollars and there is homeless veterans and big problem in the state of california. state of washington. let's take care of the homeless veterans who served their country with honorary than giving money to people who disrespected our laws which means they disrespected this country. they are here in violation of federal law. let's take that money. let's not give it to them. let's give it to the homeless veterans especially this memorial day weekend. california and washington have a huge issue with american veterans. left's take care of those american heroes. griff: thanks for joining us and stay safe this weekend. >> you too. griff: marks the unofficial start to house hunting season. how do you navigate today's market? and where is the best place to buy? tips from one of the top brokers in the nation coming up.

order for the fifth time. wow, five times. that's going to cut deep. pete: yeah it, absolutely is welcome to the 7:00 hour of this saturday edition of "fox & friends." jed, griff, great to be with you both this morning. it is kind of staggering when you look at a fifth extension of a stay-at-home order considering how big the state of michigan is i have know some of the restrictions are looser in the upper peninsula and northern parts of michigan. but looking at mid june. that's part of the reason why you see so many of these protests, guys. emanating out of michigan. the crackdown has been so strong, so overwhelming you saw this operation hair cut at the capital of michigan just a couple days ago as it has becomes salon owners and barber and gym owners. small business owners who don't get money from the government who ultimately are relying on the paychecks and their

employees and to lock them down again they feel like an insult to their livelihood. i watched the president's press conference yesterday simply into the breach and all these other one essential business, it's the ability to assemble and gather as free people and worship god together. griff: yeah. that's right. here in washington, where they are still locked down. a lot of the businesses and hair salons obviously reacting. but it's interesting, guys, the outbreak of coronavirus started in a church in washington. so a lot of the faithful that i talk to and i'm catholic. they like to go to church. you got to go in church. get in trouble if you don't go to church. a lot of folks here are trying to sort their way through it. a big part of what the president did yesterday was to make that declaration. but, also issue some cdc

guidelines for houses of worship. now, let's show you what the cdc is encouraging face coverings, social distancing, including physical guides and size limits. minimizing community sharing. that's a key one, protections for those considered high risk and cleaning and disinfecting procedures. jedediah: let's take a listen to what president trump had to say about the places of worship and why he feels they're essential to most americans. >> some governors have deemed liquor stores and abortion clinics as essential. but have left out churches and other houses of worship. it's not right. so i'm correcting this injustice and calling houses of worship essential. i call upon governors to allow our churches and places of worship to open now. keep our people union snitsed. the people are demanding to go to church and synagogues, go to

their mosque. many millions of measures embrace worship as an essential part of life. pete: yeah. i mean the president hit it on the nose. go ahead, jed. jedediah: yeah, i mean, there is two important points here for me. one, people feel lied. to say they were told they need to do certain things in order to flatten the curve. then you are told the curve is flattened but you still need to obey these rules. they feel like there is no end in sight. they feel like there is no guidance and this is going to go on forever and ever. the second thing is this has been really challenging for people's physical and mental health. the one place a lot of people go to for comfort is church. that's where they go to reawaken their mind, their spirit, to get a sense of camaraderie with the community and get back to some level of normalcy. mental health, don't forget is something that has suffered at this time as well. at this point people are saying you know what? i need to get back to some part of my regular routine and part of that is finding comfort in god and in church. so, this is where people are at.

they have had enough. they are tired and feel lied. to say at some point when does life resume again. we followed the orders. we did what you said. and now you are extending it. is there an end in sight? if not, we need to do certain things in our lives to feel good again and get our families back on track and be able to live life at peace again. griff: this fight though is going to get way bigger. because when the president was making that comment. it was unclear what constitutional authority he would have to override the governors. he clearly would likely in a court hypothetically make the religious freedom argument at a time when, as you point out, jed, everyone is feeling this need for freedom. california, the doj sending a letter to california, remember, they were one of the first to lock it down and one of the last to start easing things up. we are going to talk to the former acting u.s. attorney general matt whitaker a little later this morning. he will weigh in on what i think is probably going to be a really big fight. pete: yeah. it will be. jed, to your point.

when you have these kind of unequaled lockdowns where you are picking winners and losers and saying some industries are essential and is not. it was important for the president to say when it comes to faith that's been protected from day one in this country. also the other industries we have seen. the hair salon owners and revolt we have seen. people are getting their hair cut. the hair salons are happening in their kitchen. the barber shops are happening in their garage. underground economy starts to emerge because people say this doesn't make any sense. why don't you come to my house and cut my hair or i will go to yours. it all happens. people are getting these things done underneath the nose of government because it doesn't -- they disrespect measures that don't make sense as far as public health. probably healthier to have a well sanitized hair salons where everyone is monitored and taking care of protocols as opposed to entering people's homes and doing it under the radar. that's what -- we know it's happening across the board. so, paying attention to that is

just makes common sense. there ain't a whole lot of that with a lot of these governors though. jedediah: that's exactly right. another big story we have been following is joe biden who never ceases to disappoint. we talk about his breakfast club blunders and guess what? they continued. is he insisting that president trump from guess where, pete? from where? from his basement. let's take a listen. >> ask people campaign from the house. >> all this stuff about it hurting me is not hurting me. i'm winning in all those states. i'm ahead in all the national polls. and the more he talks, the better off i am. >> polls can be allusions though. we looked at all the polls in 2016, too. and look what happened. >> totally different, man. 2016 is totally different. what had you then is you had somebody who didn't -- they didn't know it all. they wanted to just change the system the way it was. he was the biggest change. right now we're in a situation where it's like, you know that carney show goes through town

once and you find out there is no pea under those three shells that get pushed around. next time you come back what do you do you ain't playing you got to figure it out. griff: interesting to hear biden saying. pete: no, no, no, no the. not totally different. totally differential, man. get it right. i want the transcript totally different, man. griff: well, yeah. michael moore by the way the filmmaker and actor was warning democrats to take a trump seriously about re-election. he said come on, man, take a listen to this. >> is he going to do well. he hasn't lost any of his support. he will do well. and none of us should take him for granted. we need to behave as if he will win a second term. anybody who right now just went oh, no, you are really part of

the problem because you are not taking this seriously. he knows exactly what he he is doing. all of us have to be really in fighting mode. because he is. jedediah: yeah. i mean michael moore knew that joe biden was a terrible pick because this was going to be a terrible contrast. joe biden has been struggling so much. and it's interesting joe biden saying the more he talks the better off i am thinking about trump that was exactly a little note i had written down but the reverse. the more -- trump can just sit back honestly sometimes and just let joe biden bury himself with these blunders and these comments. it's actually joe biden has it twisted in his mind. he makes so many mistakes. so many offensive comments and he doesn't even realize it that that is going to pave the way for trump in many ways that he doesn't even realize. i think people like michael moore do know that and they are saying to themselves we are in trouble. what are we going to do? pete: that was honesty from

mible more. communist chinese or covid-19 which they gave us, you want someone as a chief executive who is totally dialed, in he thinking about all the factors, considering the constitution, watchdogging governors as they make decisions, these what you want. mention it. at the top of the show we will talk about it again. joe biden looking at black voters saying if you were to. saying things like that from your basement are not a pretty effective way to grow your base. find me a republican that's left donald trump. that isn't marah bid of their support of him today an they were three and a half years ago he is in a bad. griff: don't forget there is a lot of questions about who his running mate will be. we keep hearing warren is on the short list. she is obviously more progressive than most of the candidates who ran other than bernie sanders. also we understand that amy

klobuchar is on the short list. so, really this is a period of time that he should be doing interviews defining what his policies and his positions will be. so, voters will determine what the choices are. pete: kamala harris is out there saying you can't say wuhan virus or chinese virus that should be illegal in this country. they are auditioning to be his vice president on interesting ways. jedediah: they are. just think about it like amy klobuchar and warren either one of those people completely different ticket. that is going -- it's pulling different voters. certain people will stay home. others will be inspired. it's like completely opposite end of the spectrum he will go. i'm curious to see where he goes but i guess it remains to be seen. for now turn to headlines for you 7:00 a.m. hour. florida woman facing murder charges in the death of 9-year-old autistic son she reported admitted to killing her son after hours of questioning. she originally told police the boy was kidnapped by two men who ambushed them while driving in

only joking, here with reaction iraq war vet and turning point u.s.a. spokesperson rob schmitt. rob, thank you for being here this morning. the court is yours. react to the vice president here. >> well, lock, i am not surprised at what joe biden said

because he puts his foot in his mouth all the time. and every once in a while you really get the sense and you really -- they tell the truth in the democrats about what they really think about black voters. remember, joe biden said that poor kids are just as intelligent and bright as white kids a couple of months back. that was a gap there and with this gap, the idea that you are not black if you don't vote for him or by extension other democrats is so strange, so offensive, so surprising i'm shocked really offended that he said it. to me that erases the identity of millions of black americans who are black, always be black and just happen to not vote for democrats. who just happen to vote for republicans or to be trump supporters, et cetera. it erases people like our great john james of michigan that's running for senator. it erases our great senator tim scott. it erases our great representative vernon jones out of georgia who is another person

that switched from democrat to republican. so it erases millions of black voters just because they don't vote for democrats my message to him i have been black 30 years. i was black when i served in the military. i will be black when i pull the lever for donald trump in november and i will be black the day afterwards. it's surprising to me that the left has allowed a 77-year-old white dude to define what blackness is. and it doesn't surprise me that they feel cavalier and cavalier to say something like this. remember back in 2016 when hillary clinton also went to the breakfast club and she pandered and she had hot sauce in her bag, right? so that was a cultural reference to african-americans and in the absence of any ideas. in the absence of any real plans for african-americans. they have pandering and they have offensive definitions of blackness that are coming from joe biden and i think they are going to learn a big lesson in

november. pete: comments ultimately very revealing of the mindset. the president did try to walk them back later. saying i was joking, that kind of thing. can you react to that i also want to get, rob, as a vet yourself who served this great country. we are going into memorial day. your thoughts going into weekend like this. my thoughts going into memorial day i served in the fourth division special isles jose marah and sergeant dan who were killed in operation iraqi freedom. i always want to remember those two soldiers and their service. i think it's important this time of year to not only remember, pete, those who have made the ultimate sacrifice because both of you and i have served in the military. and we were blessed enough to serve and to we have to remember that we also want to remember the people who are serving right now. i think in society when you are in position to help a vet. whether it is hiring a veteran

weather supporting veteran organizations my brother steven baldwin has a wonderful organization for veterans that are returning from war when you have those opportunities to do that i think that's what memorial day is all about. it's about remembering those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and respecting that but also recognizing the service of people that are serving right now i talk about in my book always a soldier. sometimes you feel when you are serving overseas and you feel when serving in the country that a lot of people don't remember. we have to remember. pete: right there is no black, white or brown when you are wearing the green. we are all serving this great country. rob, thank you so much for your insight this morning. appreciate it? >> thank you, pete. pete: you got it. still ahead, americans demanding the right to go back to work and to work out. but the governor of new jersey who says the bill of rights is above his pay grade is coming down hard in at least one gym that tried to break down the lockdown rules. jim piscopo is a new jersey gym

what's being terror related attack. bring in retired army ranger and florida congressman brian mast to discuss. brian, thanks for being here this morning. we want to get your thoughts. we salute you as well. get your thoughts on memorial day. first this terror attack yet another on a naval station. what do you make of it? >> look, i think it just reemphasizes that we have to be vigilant about everything that we do with physical security, about the threat assessment that we do. not just for those that are outside the base but obviously one of the biggest looming threats that we always foreign nationals trading on our bases, contractors you name it. the threat is very widespread, president trump's administration has done an excellent job over his term of preventing this. being wise and think it needs to be continued. that's what's very obvious in this. jedediah: congressman. >> i want to ask you about florida. florida governor ron desantis has said with coronavirus. won't give florida any credit

for the success that florida has had. because it challenges their narrative. and i think if you look at media coverage between florida and new york andrew cuomo has been glorified by media with respect to nursing homes that caused a number of tragic deaths whereas ron desantis has instituted pretty successful policy if you look at their numbers. what's going on here? >> yeah. i think you are looking at the difference between a field general in governor ron desantis and a desk general in governor cuomo. governor desantis he has the same size state 8 times less deaths in terms of the way that everybody has been affected by. this that's something that's incredible going on. you look at the fact that he didn't have to have as he so often used the term dr. queenian measures. didn't have to be like comrade whitmer in michigan with the going on. closes down sections of stores. garden items or things like

that. he was very good about allowing all of the county commissioners, city commissioners to go out there and have the level autonomy that they needed to manage their area of the state based upon their needs, their population and their risk. and that's what this country is all about in allowing that delegates of authority on down the line. governor desantis didn't d. it very well. not acting like a tyrant. other states didn't do it so well. griff: congressman, i want to -- you talk about the country and i want to talk about an op-ed you wrote it. is, of course, memorial day weekend. i believe that we all as americans have a patriotic duty to thank both veterans like yourself and certainly those who made the ultimate sacrifice. here is the headline from your op-ed. memorial day and my fallen friends show us how to thrive after coronavirus, very powerful piece, explain your message to the country this memorial day

weekend. >> whenever i think about any of my friends that i lost in combat, that are laying in arlington that are laying in other places, i think very seriously about what would they want for my life? how do i honor their sacrifice with the way that i continue to live. and i hope that every american thinks that way. i don't think one of my friends that i have lost would want me to say that, you know, they lived in jungles and swamps and con ex-con takenners and things like that so other people could be shut up in their house or went out there and defended this country with every breath in their life so people could have less freedom. that's not what they fought for and that's not the way they went out there and lived life. we respect their life in a way that we don't waste a second even in the fails of challenges. pete: bingo, every moment you are in a con next container or shack overseas you are thinking about the freedom you want at home in a free country.

we should remember that spot on message. brian mast, thank you for being here this morning. thank you for what florida does even as you mention comrade whitmer. thank you, we salute your service. >> thank you, buddy. pete: turning to your headlines, the man shooting death arbery charged with murder. brian making his first court appearance in georgia. he is the third person charged in arbery's death. brian recorded this video back in february. he is accused of using his car to detain arbery leading to his death. the attorneys for arbery's family brian gregory and travis mcmichael chased arbery down for minutes before shooting and killing him. the men claimed they thought arbery was a burglar. are a entery's family says he was on a jog. an american was on board the plane that crashed in a pakistani neighborhood. the jet going down near the country's largest city. 98 people on board. at least two of them somehow

i have asked you this before but i want to ask you again, go ahead, please, please. rick: one of my biggest regrets in life is that i never saw a shuttle launch. pete: can you make that happen, rick. you still have time and you are a well-traveled man. [sighs] rick: not the shuttle. not the space shuttle some other launch. the actual shuttle. best of your recollection yeah, for sure one of these days for something else for sure. that's all right. hey, all right. let's talk weather, big news came out this weekend that was noor noaa hurricanes. all signs really warm ocean temperatures and really low wind shear it. looks like wind shear breaks storms apart. we should not have much of that across the atlantic basin expecting above average year. that doesn't mean the storms will hit the u.s. it does mean you need to be prepared for that in making your plans. we already had our first storm

arthur. it is gone. but just be prepared. especially with everything else that we have going on. today we have storms exiting the southeast coast. we have got some scattered showers across parts of the northeast. won't be a horrible day but we will have to dodge some scattered showers and we had some big storms move across oklahoma overnight. those storms weakening a little bit. most of that rain is heading towards east texas and parts of arkansas this morning. then we have a new storm that's up across parts of the far northern rockies bringing snow into higher elevations. that storm in today and high plains and threat for severe weather. any tornadoes today best chance will be across parts of far northern, illinois. rockford over towards chicago keep your eye out around the quad city as well. could see a tornado later in the day. a lot of precipitation this week over the weekend we have got it across parts of the south. especially areas of texas. that pattern sticks with us by the time we get towards say thursday or friday. we might see spots of 5 to

7 inches of rain in texas. that potentially causes some flooding problems. we will watch that closely. all right, guys. back to you. griff: rick, a wet memorial day weekend. all right. still ahead. president trump warns that mail-in voting will lead to election fraud. our next guest says one major city has 30,000 more registered voters than citizens eligible to vote. how does that even happen? we will explain coming up. chances are you know us. yoo-hoo, progressive shoppers. we laughed with you. sprinkles are for winners. we surprised you. on occasion, we've probably even annoyed you. we've done this all with one thing in mind. to help protect the things you love. and if we can't offer you the best price we'll help you find a better one. it's not always the lowest! even if it's not with us. that's how we've done it for the past 80 years. not just today, or this month, but always.

griff: welcome back. time for quick headlines. players back to campus for practice. coming back sets for june 8th under certain guidelines including coronavirus testing for symptomatic players. and former super bowl mvp joe flacco signing with the new york jets, the former ravens and broncos quarterback signing a

one year deal worth $1.5 million. the contract could reportedly reach more than 4 million. 4. jedediah: officials in the battleground state look to expand at-home ballots. >> vote by mail is secure been done securely for decades and focused on continuing to make sure it's secure in our state. >> mail-in ballots very dangerous. very fraud involved and tremendous illegality a dangerous pat to go down. >> 30,000 more registered voters than citizens of legal voting age. howe would this work in november? here to discuss government accountability institute research director eric ag a gre. welcome to the show. how is that possible in detroit to have 30,000 more registered voters than citizens of voting age? >> thanks, jed. it's great to be back. the sad reality is this is not

limit to the city of detroit. i mean, yes, a lawsuit found 30,000 more registered voters than citizens of legal age. they found 2500 dead people that were registered to vote in the city of detroit. this is actually a problem nationwide. the u.s. supreme court in a decision last decade cited statistics that said one in 8 voter registrations in this country that's a 24 million have significant problems or completely inaccurate. so it's not just limited to detroit. but i think we're wise to be -- to use the term from the congressman in the previous segment village length and concerned because you have to remember in 2016, donald trump won the state of michigan by fewer than 11,000 votes. so if you start talking about more than 30,000 registered voters and citizens of legal voting age in the city of detroit alone, i think that's pretty concerning. jedediah: so, eric, let's talk about president trump's comments about mail-in voting. when i first think of mail-in voting. no problem. you know, it's a tough time.

a lot of people can't get to the polls. they are nervous right now so they just mail in their absentee ballot no problem. are thhe is raising universallyh mail-in voting are they valid? >> i think, of course, jed, we should all be in favor of everyone being able to vote safely and mail-in balloting has been done successfully across the country and for a long time. auto difference between people voluntarily choosing to cast a mail-in ballot as by the way 1 million people in the state of michigan choose to do regularly and mailing everyone a ballot as they are doing in california or as they are about to do in the state of michigan, mail everyone an absentee ballot request form. what it does brings all these voter role irregularities into play. now the guaranteed likelihood of people who shouldn't be receiving a ballot. people that aren't real voters because they have either moved or dead or, you know, they are on the roll erroneously those people will now have the opportunity or request forms will go to addresses for those

people. and we know that there are forces out there attempting to sway elections. look at what happened in philadelphia recently. an elections judge was just charged with literally stuffing the ballot box. so, it's not as if -- you know, the idea that people are trying to sway elections illegally haven't been proven. we saw one literally just this week in a major american city. jedediah: that's an important clarification and you know we are out of time for today. i'm going to have to have you back and talk about why our election technology always feels like it's 1812. when i go to vote i feel like i have hopped in a delorean and gone back in time to vote. thank you for clarifying those things on mail-in voting. really important stuff. we appreciate it? >> thanks so much. jedediah: up next, this weekend marks the unofficial start of summer. thank heavens. and we are getting grilling tips from some of the best in the biz when john mccain john and his son join us live after the break.

among my patients i often see them have teeth sensitivity as well as gum issues. does it worry me? absolutely. new sensodyne sensitivity & gum gives us the dual action effect that really takes care of both our teeth sensitivity as well as our gum issues. there's no question it's something that i would recommend.

griff: get ready to fire up your grills. we are kicking off the unofficial start of summer with master built masters of smoke. joining us now is chef and author of dadgum that's good too john mckelly more and his son. john and john 2 gentlemen, thank you for joining us this morning what do you have for us. >> it's so good to be cooking for you guys. remember cooking in miami at the super bowl? pete: of course. >> you ate more food than everybody there take a look at here with going to be cooking at the mckelly mores for memorial day. we will be doing ribs and showing you guys a start to finish recipe there. mac and cheese, baked beans. corn. coming down front of the table and back to the grill in a

minute. we will be doing vegetables, fruit. god to have burgers for memorial day. let's talk about how to make the most amazing rib ever. barbecue sauce and dry seasoning. i'm telling you, all you have got to do is take your favorite baby back rib or st. louis rib, put it on the grill. we are kicking on the master built gravity series. charcoal digital grill. super easy. we set the grill at 225-degrees. we season the ribs with your favorite dry rub. today we are using some honeybee from cosmo -- take a look at it this grill. >> pete we were cooking with the 560. today we have the big boy here which is the 1050. it's a big bad boy here.

pete: that's a big boy. >> the big boy. we sent the master built grill to 225 degrees. we season the ribs. smoked them for two hours. every 30 minutes we spritz them with apple juice. pull the ribs off the grill. rab wrap them. put your favorite barbecue sauce on ribs, put them back on the grill two more hours, unwrapped. coat them with your barbecue sauce. turn the grill up to 300 degrees. what people love about the master built grill is it allows us to set it from 225 to 300 with the push of a button. this grill is just being prelaunched on walmart.com next week is going to be at home depot.com. go to master built to get the information on the recipe and if you want to see how good the ribs are i think you have got a clip our grandson eating these ribs. do you all have that clip? pete: we do. [laughter]

pete: whoa. >> can you see it? pete: down to the bone like. anna: mall. >> you are the man. he is our taste tester. we were camping. and that boy ate more ribs an all of us adults. so. >> that was this rib right here. >> that's him. he is the man. >> something else that we have been doing while we have been staying at home, prairie fresh foods, provide us with the ribs and boston butts and pork so that we could feed folks food the warriors outreach amazing time here feed families in the area including fort benning, georgia. >> check us out master built.com masters of smoke for tips on memorial day weekend. love you guys. pete: helping out the bedding boy school for boys. thank you, gentlemen. can't wait to eat that soon.

griff: that was great. now i'm going to run out and get ribs this afternoon. pete: looks like memorial day. wow, senator tim scott. former acting ag matthew whitaker. representative darrell issa and pam bondi. >> at philadelphia, we know what makes the perfect schmear of cream cheese. you need only the freshest milk and cream. that one! and the world's best, and possibly only, schmelier. philadelphia. schmear perfection.

and for even greater peace of mind, all carvana cars come with a seven-day return policy. so, if you need to keep moving, we're here for you. at carvana-- the safer way to buy a car. >> if you have a problem figuring out whether you are for me or trump then you ain't black. pete: oh, boy. joe biden may have made his biggest blunder yet. the presumptive democrat nominee facing major backlash from some quarters after telling black voters you ain't black if they're torn between supporting him and president trump. griff: biden making the controversial comments on the breakfast club radio show as he defended his record with the black community. jedediah: at first biden aide said it was a joke only to walk it back hours later. so you can see, welcome, everyone to the 8:00 a.m. hour.

i almost said 9:00 a.m. i'm hurried to head there we are still in 8:00 a.m. welcome, everyone, thanks for joining us, we have been talking about this all morning. because what is insane is that joe biden made that statement and didn't catch himself. i think it locks like the more i watch it that he thought he made a fantastic joke and walked away and probably thought nothing of it until someone likely pulled him over and said joey, do you realize what you just said? let's take a look in full context what joe biden said. >> listen, have you got to come see us when you come to new york v.p. biden. >> i will. >> it's a long way to november. we have got more questions. >> you got more questions. i will tell you if you have a problem figuring out whether you are for me or trump, then you ain't black. >> it don't have nothing to do with trump. it has to do with the fact i want something for my community. i would love to see you. >> take a look at my record, man. i extended the voting act 25 years. i have a record that is second to none. the naacp has endorsed me every time i have run. i mean, come on. take a look at the record.

griff: charlamagne thought about that answer it was interesting as a political reporter watching. this because we saw the campaign, a spokeswoman who happenings to be african-american put out a statement saying well, it was in guest. but then the moment was realized how serious it was. it's been 8 years since he had condescending remarks down to the african-american community back in 2012 when he did it talking about putting people back in chains in reference to mitt romney. they put him quickly on a conference call with the black chamber of commerce. here was his backtrack. listen. >> i never ever ever have taken the african-american community for granted. i have had their support. i shouldn't have been such a wise guy. i shouldn't have been so cavalier. i don't take it for granted at all. and no one, no one should have to vote for any party based on their race or religion or background. pete: yeah. he didn't think he made a mistake, jed, because that's how he really feels, right in the

democratic party has taken black americans for granted for quite some time. we have heard some great voices on the program. we will hear even more today. here is what joe biden. he said take a look at my record, man. that was the way he explained it. well, cheryl main tha tha god wt on and talked about joe biden wants record in the 1994 crime women. bill. it's not a settled issue. >> i heard him talking about things that he did for black people back in the day which, you know, what have you done for me lately is my motto. he has been a very intricate part of that system. whether you are talking about, you know, in '84 with the mandatory minimum sentences for drug dealers or talking about '86 with the crack laws that gave you more time for crack cocaine than powder cocaine or talking about the '94 crime bill like he was. really one of the people on the front line came to the war on drugs with mass incarceration.

if he wants to be president, he needs to fix that. pete: uh-oh. jedediah: yeah, that's the bigger issue. people expect joe biden at this point to make a series of blunders. they will range from silly to deeply offensive. and that's just gonna happen. the problem is that joe biden's response was my record. as you said, and now people are going to look at that record and many people on the debate stage, kamala harris in particular have already brought that stuff up and brought that to the attention of african-american voters. one person who responded to this and gave a pretty strong statement was robert l. johnson bet co-founder and he said this to fox news. vice president's statement today represents the arrogant and out of touch attitude of a paternalistic white candidate who has the audacity to tell black people, the descendants of slaves, they are not black unless they vote for him. this proves unequivocally that block people owe him their vote without question even though as black people know it is the exact opposite he should spend

the rest of his campaign apologizing to every black person he meets. obviously this is really important, too. because the african-american vote is significant. and there has been lots of talk about joe biden having that as a strong hold. and while he will be successful in that arena, not if he keeps making statements like this, i will say that for sure. pete: charlamagne tha god has had a long record of supporting democrats. he has been open about that. if you watch the whole interview is he very skeptical at this moment of joe biden and his record and his candidacy and whether or not democrats have truly delivered for the black community. that's significant. that's him saying hey, i'm looking around at the evidence, is it really what they are telling me it is? and that's a crack in the armor for the democrat alliance that thinks they can reliably just count on that. you heard that dismissiveness in that comment, griff. griff: charlamagne has always been my position is what are you done for me lately? he wanted to get into biden's

record before the gaffe happened. and points out to the fact that president trump accomplishing prison reform in his three years. you would think that this issue, which is critical to an election in six months would get a lot of play on all of the networks. but, let us show you the evening news coverage of biden's comments. here you go. 95 seconds on abc. 70 seconds on cbs. 21 seconds on nbc. [laughter] pete: ready, start the clock. the fact that abc covered it for 21 seconds -- i mean, think about it, a 30 minus broadcast, hohow much time you have. how many stories can you cover. the things that are important in this nation. you have a 2020 election and two presidents wanting to be commander-in-chief of the free world and you can't find 21 seconds to talk about something of this nature. i just said nothing for 21

seconds. that's how much time they could have spent on their program and ignore it. that's who they are. we know who they are. they are covering up for joe biden. jedediah: pete you spoke with rob schmitt earlier he had a message for joe biden that people won't want to miss. >> my message for him is evan black over 30 years. i was black when i served in the military. i will be black when i pull the lever for president donald trump in november and i will be black the day afterwards. and it is surprising to me that the left has allowed a 77-year-old white dude to define what blackness is. in the absence of any ideas. in the absence of any real plans for african-americans. they have pandering. and they have offensive definitions of blackness that are coming from joe biden. and i think that they are going to learn a big lesson in november. griff: you know, guys. i think it's going to be interesting. i hope we do. even if it's virtual, get a

trump-biden debate, specifically as it relates now to the african-american community and put those two records up. i certainly would make the argument that it would be helpful for voters to see and hear what each plans to do. meanwhile, one thing we will see today, protest, more of them held in more than a dozen states this weekend. pushing for governors to relax restrictions. as the president issues a warning to los angeles calling their heavy handed lockdown orders illegal. the doj sending a letter out to the los angeles mayor eric garcetti and the county public health director barbara ferrer. the doj writes reports of your recent public statements indicate that you suggested the possibility of long-term lockdown of the residents in the city and county of los angeles regardless of the legal justification for such restrictions. any such approach may be both arbitrary and unlawful. pete: bill barr has said they will start going after states gratuitous in application of this. too many to count right now.

where do you go? new jersey, michigan, california, which is we are talking about here. governor whitmer just extended the lockdown for a fifth time to the middle of june as she loosens some restrictions up north where she has gone up for some family celebrations, where she can enjoy the benefit of allowing loosening of restrictions for herself. as people cut hair on the capital because they need to earn a living. we had folks on the program earlier freedom friday open to states saying we are just going to start opening our businesses because all common sense is gone. we can be responsible. we can't allow the cure, as the president has said time and time again, to be worse than the virus. we're going to need the doj to crack down hard. take that gym in new jersey whose doors this morning will be padlocked by the governor even though they have better sanitation protocols than the walmart does down the street. so, jed, the frustration people have is the unequal treatment of free citizens at a moment where they have done their part to

flatten the curve. now it's time to open up. jedediah: yeah, people like i said feeling lied to and feeling like this is going to go on and on. the irony is that these government officials are saying we don't want people to be in crowds. well, get what? you are forcing them to go outside and they are engaging in these protests because they feel like they have no choice. that he was the only way to make them feel like their voices are heard. common sense measures allow these people to operate their businesses. they are telling you they are going to do it in a way they don't want to get sick or endanger their customers. that hurts their business. they will be looking out for themselves and their families and other people by nature to create a healthy and growing business. the inability of government officials to allow at this stage of the game to do that incredibly frustrating especially in light of the facts coming out now with respect to the coronavirus and how serious it is at this moment in time. dr. deborah birx part of the white house coronavirus task force is the coordinator. she was saying that the u.s. is seeing a dramatic decline in covid cases.

take a listen. >> the exciting thing for all of this is those decreasing mortality over time. the other thing that has decreased significantly over the last month is new hospitalizations. we can see now that there is over a 50% decline in new hospitalizations. this is where we started. this is influenza like illness. the red and the darker the red, the more significant the influenza like illness is in that state. so you want to get to green. so this is the week ending march 28th. i think we can sees a a country we have decreasing amount of illness. pete: it was useful to hear from her yesterday talking about. you want to see that go ahead, j. jedediah: i was going to say we are not where we were five weeks ago in terms of the disease. why should would he be where we were five weeks ago in terms of you who businesses can operate. there has to be some evolution. you are seeing positive evolution when you look at the disease less people being

affected. herd immunity is happening. there are good things happening with respect to that that we can be really happy about when we look at ourselves and our families and fears can notch down a little bit. that also means that policy needs to change with respect to businesses because you can't have a crashing economy at this point. pete: we talked to a small business owner in michigan who is affected by this lockdown who opened up anyway. here's what he said. >> there's a certain level of risk in life that you just have to take so now it's time to bring people together. it's time to become educated to tackle this information and move forward in the right direction. you know, fear has crippled a lot of people on this event. you have a lot of people afraid to make the wrong decision. but it's times like that throughout history when you bring people together and you make those decisions that you ebb act change. and we are trying to get back to work. we are trying to get the country back on its feet. we are trying to bring local leaders together to inspire the people that need us now more than ever. pete: common sense wisdom.

jedediah: absolutely. we are going to turn to some headlines for you now. we are beginnin beginning with n important fox news alert. breaking right now a massive fire in san francisco. people posting pictures and video on social media showing billowing smoke coming from peer 45. it's unclear how the fire started or if anyone is hurt. we will continue updates on this developing story. and now to extreme weather. powerful storms ripping across parts of texas overnight sparking a possible tornado. [high winds] jedediah: roof tops torn off homes and businesses. some areas seeing baseball sized hail. meanwhile, in south carolina, a severe storm causes a tree and utility pole to topple on a man's car killing him. heavy rains and high winds knocking out power for more than 120,000 people in north carolina. and those are your headlines.

wow. griff: all right. thanks, jed. still ahead. more fallout in the michael flynn case as fbi director christopher wray orders an internal review of the burrow's handling of the probe. paving the way for disciplined. mat whitaker on what they will likely uncover next.

if you have asthma or copd, these are challenging times, and you may have a lot on your mind. we want to help, with real questions from you, and real answers from experts. we can get through this together. visit letsbreathetogether.com. griff: more fallout as christopher wray unveels handling of the probe. above the law our next guest details how top figures in the fbi and justice department openly worked against president trump. here is matt whitaker.

congratulations on a great book. i can't rate wait to read it. i want to talk about it. first i want to address this review that's been ordered, the inspection division of the fbi under christopher wray now is going to take a look. what are your thoughts on it? director wray obviously a good move by him. the men and women at the fbi want leadership from him. the american people want accountability for the people that brought this national nightmare to us for over two years i know there are a lot of folks feel this is late. but it's better late than never and i'm glad to see this step. >> the review has no prosecutorial power. however is it possible that perhaps information is uncovered in this review that could compliment the durham investigation which can prosecute? >> so the flynn dismissal motion is over 100 pages the department of justice filed it. it lays out a very compelling case of the abuses in that case including a lack of predication

for the investigation and interview of general flynn and also the fact that anything he said during that interview wasn't material to an ongoing investigation. this is basic blocking and tackling how the fbi should work. the obama -- as president and comey as director agreed it could be by the book. i don't know what book they were following when they did this. every book i know which is the justice manual doesn't allow these types of investigations. griff: you certainly would know and in your new book above the law, the inside story of you who the justice department tried to subvert president trump, you talk about some of this. tell me about what's in this book and will this lead to prosecution some day? >> yeah. that's what we are looking for. i know general barr in his recent press conference said that there are targets of the durham investigation. one of the things i talk about in this book, griff is, that there appears to be a double standard where the president, where general flynn, where, you know, carter page and others were targeted by the fbi and by

the intelligence community and, yet, it appears that the other side of the equation never seems to be investigated or reviewed or all those kinds of things that we were subjected. to say i like to lay that out in this book. i think people will enjoy learning for from my first hand experience but it's a hopeful book too, griff. griff: we shall see. just with the few seconds left i want to quickly ask you and that is county president, will he have the authority to enforce reopening those churches he deemed essential? >> yes. i was glad to seat president be the champion for people of religious faith. i think he has -- has to enforce the constitutional protections. there is no pandemic exception to our constitutional rights. griff: all right. matt whitaker former acting u.s. attorney general and author of "above the law" thank you for your time. >> happy mohammed. griff: same to you. lori loughlin and husband changing plea in collision admission scandal and instead taking a plea deal meaning they will spend just months behind

jedediah: after more than a year of maintaining their innocence lori loughlin and fashion designer husband pled guilty in the college admission scandal. the two appeared virtually in court yesterday under plea deal loughlin will serve two months in prison. her husband will serve five months. is this a just punishment? here to react is fox news contributor and attorney emily compagno. emily, welcome to the show as always. so, you know, when i saw, this you know, this -- does the punishment fit the crime in your opinion? >> well, i don't think that's up for me to say. i think there are two important things to highlight here for

viewers. first is the leverage. now, remember when this case first kind of came to light. everyone was so shocked and blown away at the sentencing that these guys were facing. right? remember that? it was like dozens of years in jail. i point that out because that's the leverage that prosecutors have. that's why there is a 97% federal conviction rate. it's because of these plea deals. because when you are sitting across the table from these prosecutors, they are telling you this wire fraud charge is 20 years allen. that's what lori and her husband were facing. it doesn't surprise me at all that they pled. i think there is a bit of irony that the fines that they owe are significantly less than the amount they have allegedly paid to get their daughters into the school. i think it's also important to note that when you are in a minimum security penitentiary you can always tell or i can always tell at least who went to trial and who pled out. because when you plead,you get those minimum sentences. you get five months. you get a year and a day. but when you go to a trial with a jury of your peers.

no one likes others who don't pay taxes no. one likes others who try to cheat the system. that's when you get those really maximum sentences who levies them are your peers. so here i think it's one more interesting note the fact that he has a longer sentence than she does. jedediah: what's interesting to me she had pled not guilty for so long over a year. i'm wondering what transpired that caused her to make that quick turn around? was it just that she felt she had no way out and this was the best case scenario that she was going to get last minute? it was a really long time of saying not guilty, not guilty, not guilty. >> you are so ride, jed. honestly, that's the pattern. everyone maintains their innocence up until they just succumb to the plea. that sort of rolls into that larger argument and conversation that we have been having about this which is, again, that leverage that these long sentences have. the power and the weight of the government when it is looming, it's prosecutorial eye toward you, essentially you just sort of give. in and you can argue here, of

course, while only a guilty person would accept a plea. that's not always quite the case. but, of course, here the evidence seems pretty overwhelming. jedediah: yeah. emily, i want to get to this other case because the witness who filmed ahmed arbery's killing is now being charged with murder. can you just put that into context for us with respect to georgia lou. law he was just a witness. that's not what the arrest warrant says. >> absolutely. this gentleman is charged with felony murder. that's the state's way in discouraging your participation in what they deem a violent or dangerous felony. if the occurs during that commission you are automatically on the hook. larger point is they want to hold this quote unquote witness to the highest standard of accountability just like the mcmichaels us because they argue that he blocked in the victim here. that he used his truck to help chase him essentially and block him in. that's where the false imprisonment charges come in and then that's the hook that the felony murder comes in on.

he is facing life imprisonment for that felony murder charge and 1 to 10 years for the false imprisonment. his attorney says no, no, no. he was simply just a witness. weighs doing yard work. he saw a car he recognize from the neighborhood drive by chasing a gentleman that he didn't recognize. the family of the victim points to the police report which states that mcmichaels at the scene said that he indeed blocked arbery with his truck and tried to box him in and helped corner him before he was shot to death. note that his attorney also says he will be, quote: a star witness. he is no vigilante, he has commit nod crime. i foresee that he will flip on the mcmichaels. jedediah: wow, emily, thanks for being here as always. lots to cover in these cases and we are glad to have you break it all down for us, we appreciate it thank you so much. >> thank you so much. jedediah: still ahead our next guest is a former nfl player turning white house advisor with a powerful message to america to pete covid-19 as a team. scott turner joins us live after

we know what's happening next play. we have a great game plan. we have great leadership all around the room is a tremendous team and it's called the united states of america. covid will get whooped. [laughter] it will. but it's going to take all of us. pete: that was the white house on wednesday of this week. great message from scott turner, executive director of the white house opportunity and revitalization council and former nfl player. scott, thank you so much for being here this morning. your message is america is one team to fight covid-19 and come out of this better. i got to be honest though. it doesn't always feel like we're one team it. feels like from governors and the media and elsewhere going at each other as much today as we always have. >> yeah. and thank you guys for having me. >> thank you. >> you are exactly right. you know, the message and as i was -- that's the first time i have heard it. i haven't listened to the whole thing. as i listen to that it reminds me we have to have an attitude

of unity. because the enemy has already been found out. the enemy has already been recognized and so the way that we become victorious through this is move in a singular motion and obviously, you know, we have a tremendous country. it's a big country. has 50 governors across the country. but the attitude is to move together. you know, to defeat the enemy without any kind of agenda. without any kind of, you know, selfishness you know across the nation. if we move singularly, just like in the huddle, man, you call one play and everybody is on the same page to run that play to the best of their ability. and that's how you defeat the enemy or the opposition on that one particular play. and that's how we have to do in america day by day by day. pete: what if the president calls a go route and democrat governor of michigan decides to run a slant. that's what it deals like right now. they are on a different playbook. >> it does. that's why the message look, the

playbook has already been written. the strategy has been set forth and it takes all 11 people on the team you know to run the play. it doesn't matter if i want to play covid-19 and the safeties want to play covid 4. what's the best way for the team to be victorious? that's my point and my heart. have to lay down all selfishness and all self-exaltation on what we think is right even if we know in our heart this may be better if we move together as a team and everybody is on the same page we have a better opportunity to be victorious because that's the message, the simple message it's not as easy to do easy to do. simple message if we all come together and whoop this thing called covid, man, and move on. this is america. and we have been through hardships before. griff: scott. that team mentality coming from a player that understands that it's so helpful. what do you make now of the doj

having to challenge these governors as pete says now on the same page. you saw yesterday a letter going to the l.a. mayor garcetti and the public health director there who has been saying they may be locked down for three months. >> right. well, i think that, you know, and obviously, you know, when we talk about this team mentality that is the overall vision and the overall goal. and in each state, each city, each county there is leadership there. and my message to leaders to be a servant leader. to look at the bigger picture. to take politics out of it, to take self-exsau exexaltation lot the 3 million people in this country and what the president has been doing and the administration has been doing is to listen to people on the ground, the people of america, you know they are responsible. they know how to take care of themselves. we know how to take care of each

other. and as leaders we have to listen to the people on the ground, listen to the people in our states and in our cities and our counties because that's really what our message is and you are seeing an outcry of people saying hey we want to go back to work. we want to get outside. we want to have you know, times with our family. we don't want to be in the house. and the american people know what's right for the american people. and with that comes self-responsibility. and so i think as mayors and governors and state and local leaders we have to listen to the people and then listen to the leadership from the top, from the president. the president has a great strategy that's great results pre and now during covid that we can lean on and trust in that the strategy is right. jedediah: yep. scott, you know, i think you are making a great point about listening to the people around the country. and to what they are saying. on that note, obviously a topic of discussion is the reopening of america. a lot of business owners around the country, you know, crying out and saying please help me. i need to feed my families. this is my livelihood.

this is what i have worked my whole life for. howe is the administration going to put forth this reopening of america? what can we expect to see in the coming days and weeks? >> well, if you look -- these a great question. if you look at what has already been done with the ppp program and helping small business and business owners with their employees abbott set aside for the minority lending institution it's inside of vulnerable and distressed community. that program was a great kick start. there are things to come to help small business. we know that small business in america drives our country. and if you look at health and human services, and how does a $2 billion resource that is set aside for people who can't afford covid test and now they can get free covid testing and community health centers which serve 28 million people across america. across 13,000 sites. and the education the department of education and not forgiving

and setting aside payments for student loans and hud with secretary carson. there has been a 4 billion-dollar grant for homelessness and to help people during this time. so the president and his leadership and the administration have put forth resources. the heart beat of the president is the american people and to help america through this recovery. not just now but to thrive when america reopens. that's why we have to open the country back up so that the resources that have been put forth can bear much fruit in the days ahead. there will be more help along the way. a big part of it is allowing people to get back to work. brian: absolutely. and following through on your analogy sometimes if you are not going to play cover 18 play cover 20. the coach is going to pull you. we have a new safety making that clear with the churches and faith communities and doj going with governors going too far. scott turner thank you your your time this morning. we appreciate it? >> thank you, guys.

pete: you got it. turning now to a few additional headlines this morning. the u.s. says china is blocking flights into the country amid covid-19 restrictions. it's ordering four chinese airlines to submit their flight schedules by wednesday. reuters reporting two major u.s. airlines want to resume several flights per week to china starting in june. u.s. coast guard making dramatic rescue saving two fishermen lost for sea at weeks. >> on the way up. just below the aircraft. let go. pete: the coast guard hoisting the fishermen from the water about 20 miles from the ba mamas. the fishermen drifted after severe weather knocked their engine out. a good samaritan vessel spotted them and called for help. lucky. and the nhl inching closer to a return. the players association approving a 2014 playoff. details are still being negotiated. under the proposed plan the season would end for the

league's bottom seven teams. the top four teams in each conference would play in a mini tournament. the 16 remaining teams would face off in a best of five series setting up the competition for the stanley cup. i like that. just a big old playoff like the ncaa tournaments leading to the real play of. just more playoffs. just go straight to the playoffs. griff: i guess. the stanley cup in the dead of summer. we got to bring in rick reichmuth. rick, you want to take a stab at how hot it is going to be on stanley cup playoff day? like 95, 100 degrees somewhere? rick: yeah. that feels a little bit weird, doesn't it. pete: can you make ice indoors though i'm not a meteorologist though i do feel like that is possible. rick: fair. you certainly can you could be with that kind of knowledge. pete: thank you. [laughter] rick: all right, guys. let's talk a little weather out there. some people, including griff, who have been saying where is

summer? where is the warm weather coming? take a look. we will get some of it here. take a look at the maps and show you what's going on. high temperatures down across the south you have been baking for a long time. that's going to continue to be the case. watch what happens as we move through this week. there is your memorial day monday. still cool out across parts of the high claims. midweek high temps especially across parts of the southwest. take a look at arizona below average. by the time towards midweek baking with heat advisories into the effect. pushing one teens which is not something you want to be seeing in may. a lot of precipitation over the next couple days as well especially across parts of texas. this is just through monday. by the time we get through friday of next week. the a lot of texas 4 to 6 inches of rain. going to cause localized flooding. south texas pretty significant drought going on. 4 to 6 inches would be too much too quickly coming on for this week. all right, guys, back to you.

no ice and snow right now coming on anywhere. pete: thank you, rick. i appreciate it. jedediah: thanks, rick. still ahead, our next guest is suing california's governor over the state's vote by mail order. california congressman darrell issa says it's unconstitutional. he makes his case next. it's a reason to come together. it's a taste of something good. a taste we all could use right now. so let's make the most of it. and make every sandwich count. with oscar mayer deli fresh some companies still and have hr stuck betweenount. employeesentering data.a. changing data. more and more sensitive, personal data.

and it doesn't just drag hr down. it drags the entire business down -- with inefficiency, errors and waste. it's ridiculous. so ridiculous. with paycom, employees enter and manage their own data in a single, easy to use software. visit paycom.com, and schedule your demo today. and i recently had a heart attack. it changed my life. but i'm a survivor. after my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. it's for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. brilinta is taken with a low-dose aspirin. no more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. in a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack... ...or dying from one. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers,

a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. slow heart rhythm has been reported. tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. if you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. my heart is worth brilinta. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.

griff: california governor gavin newsom facing a lawsuit. darrell issa suing calling the directive quote an unlawful attempt to supersede california election law imposing an entirely new system without the many qualifications required. joining us now is former republican congressman who running again to represent southern california darryl issa. congressman, good morning to you. >> good morning, griff and you know it's unconstitutional is one of the other portions of the

legislature passed a arch act specifically laying out how mail-in ballots could be done county by county. the governor ignored all of that and ignored other ways he could have increased the amount of mail-in ballots as you know in the 25th congressional district that recently elected republican mike garcia in the 11th hour he additionally started opening up polling places in the middle of the pandemic after an all-mail-in ballot based on some theory that otherwise there wouldn't be enough voters, quote: in democratic areas so you can see where one gets very concerned that this has turned into the governor's way to manipulate the outcome of the november election. griff: part of your lawsuit that says look this doesn't conform to new system. doesn't conform to current california state law here is governor newsom responding to your lawsuit and take a listen and i want your reaction.

>> we are on firm legal ground. vote by mail is not novel in the state of california. we needed to move forward. sense of you are general is i so we could prepare for the elections. especially going back into the fall and experiencing a second wave. that could put that election at risk i think elections are too important and mr. issa's election too important. griff: on legal ground. >> not a bit. california law specifically didn't give him this authority and laid out another way to do it. the important thing i think people have to understand is if we are going to have an all vote by mail the legislature comes in and says look there is not going to be any polling places everything is going to be by mail here is a legitimate and safe way ballots go out to people owho still live and at the address where they registered maybe when they got their license four or five years ago i is not doing that there are no safeguards in the system

and it's pretty clear that come november he may play the same trick again of opening polling places in the middle of a pandemic because it suits him. griff: bottom line, we don't have much time left. do you believe your lawsuit will block this mail-in effort? >> the governor can remedy this but under the current thing, yes, i believe there will be restrike order against this action because it's clearly outside the constitution and the law passed by an all democratic vote in the legislature. griff: we will be following it. congressman darrell issa thanks for joining us this morning. stay safe. >> thank you. griff: all right. up next, we are kicking off the long weekend with kurt the cyberguy and some cool tech to spice up your cookout from a meat thermometers to deals on coolers. he shows us after the break. are staying at home, many of life's moments are being put on hold. at carvana, we understand that, for some, getting a car just can't wait.

>> governors need to do the right thing and allow these very important essential places of faith to open right now. for this weekend. if they don't do it, i will override the governors. in america, we need more prayer, not less. griff: a big announcement. welcome to the final hour of the "fox & friends" weekend edition. president trump deeming houses of worship essential. pete: the president's order comes as anti-lockdown protests are expected today in more than a dozen states. jedediah: michigan's democratic governor extending the state's order for the fifth time.

welcome, everyone, to the 9:00 a.m. hour of "fox & friends." we've been with you all morning, hoping you're hanging with us for the final hour. we've been covering a lot with respect to protests going on around the country, so many americans, so many business owners eager to get back to work, wondering when life can resume in some way. president trump coming out strong on those places of worship. remains to be seen constitutionally whether he could override the governors. let's check out the cdc guidelines for the houses of worship that if they open, what could be implemented to enable them to be open and at the same time keep people safe. face coverings are encouraged, social distancing, minimize community sharing, protections for those considered high risk, and cleaning and disinfecting procedures, many of the same measures in a lot of business that's have been deemed essential and have remained open. pete: people have done their

part. they stayed home. my son face timed me right now. i'm with him on face time while we're on air, while people have been watching their church services. it's our first amendment right. the president's been hearing that. here's a longer portion of what he said yesterday. >> some governors have deemed liquor stores and abortion clinics as essential. but have left out churches and other houses of worship. it's not right. so i'm correcting this injustice and calling houses of worship essential. i call upon governors to allow our churches and places of worship to open right now. these are place that's hold our society together and keep our people united. the people are demanding to go to church and synagogue, go to their mosque. many millions of americans embrace worship as an essential part of life.

pete: this is a president who has his ear to the ground, he understands what people are talking about, what they're feeling, wants to do everything he can to allow them to open up. i think you'll see a flood coming back on sunday pretty soon. griff: it struck a cord with the media who had a virtual meltdown, calling the president's decision dangerous. here's a little bit of what we put together for you. listen. >> what he's about to tell us, whether or not it's safe to go into church and overrule cdc guidelines, we ought to be weary. >> when you listen to what the president said, he talked about the churches being essential. okay, churches are essential but our consisten congregants and e. >> his base is largely composed of while evangelicals who are eager to do whatever he recommends including going back into churches where they would be congregating. this seems unwise. >> this is dangerous, what the president did today. griff: this raised whether or not the president has the

constitutional authority to do that. we spoke earlier with matt whitaker, the former acting attorney general. here's what he had to say. >> i was glad to see the president be the champion for people of religious faith. i think he has to enforce the constitutional protections. there is no pandemic exception to our constitutional rights. griff pete: another unanswered questions -- griff: i want to point out, it's not clear if these churches begin to open and one of these governors like whitmer or eric garcia decided to go after the church, what they would have in terms of protections. it's a very interesting story. sore ribs jed, go -- sorry, jed, go ahead. jedediah: there are people who won't be comfortable going to church right now. as i've been saying, then you don't have to go. you can continue to have those services online. you have choices that you can make for yourself and for your family through this process. but the idea -- and listen, i think the country was all

together initially and everyone was saying you know what, there's a period of time we need to flatten the curve, we need to protect the most vulnerable. you're not going to be able to keep establishments closed forever. at some point people's mental health is going to suffer if normalcy doesn't return to their lives. have you a lot of people saying this is my old routine, gives me comfort on a sunday to be able to go to church. you have to be able to trust the people that are running churches, running businesses, to secure the safety of themselves and the people attending and that's going to be it. this cannot go on for months and months like this. pete: pro tip to the pastors out there, just waive the first amendment at -- wave the first amendment at the governor when they have a problem with your service on sunday. we've seen protests across the country and they're continuing this weekend. more than a dozen states will be -- there will be protests in more than a dozen states. i know i'll get tweets from folks saying my state is not on

the map. there have been some loosening of restrictions, arbitrary in a lot of places where people feel like why this business, why now, why not today, and a lot of discrepancies where people's basic common sense is being disrespected. one example is in new jeer. i -- new jersey. i had a chance to go to a gym, great guys, great business owners. their community loves them. the cops had to shut them down, many are members of the gym. they are part of the community. they've gotten summons all week long. one of their customers was arrested. the state is going to shut the business down for the long weekend. ian smith explained what the governor is doing to shut his business down. >> governor murphy pulled a fast one on us at the end of the day and put a court order in to

a state judge who is of course going to uphold state wishes for us to be shut down via the health department. once a judge upholds and mandates and it becomes a court order, a violation of that becomes much more serious. so that being said, this weekend tiltillis gym will be closed. we have been robbed of due process. pete: i've been inside that gym, compare it to a big box store, the sanitary procedures, they wash everything down. i would eat breakfast off the floor of that gym. the health department, to say they're not in code, is garbage. they're using everything at their disposal to pick at these owners. griff: on that note, we spoke with joe piscopo, comedian and actor and owner of at least two gyms in new jersey.

he's on the same page with the health and the eagerness to reopen. here's what joe piscopo said. >> it's time to go back to work. i don't understand it. and the best thing for people, chris, is to get out a little bit, work out a little bit and retrofit -- we spent so much money adhering to the covid-19 guidelines. we've done everything. we spent thousands of dollars doing the social distancing. by the way, our gyms are more sanitary than an operating room. i'm telling you. we went all out. so we're locked, we're loaded, we're ready to go and we wish governor murphy would ease up. we're americans, we know what we're doing. we know how to respect this vicious virus. you can't dictate to us what to do. pete: amen. jedediah: uh huh. not everyone will be respectful. that's a fact of life. some people will be very respectful of space. other people you will go out -- they'll be reckless. that's going to happen anyway, whether you open stuff up now or whether you wait eight months

and all of these businesses have crumbled. it's a reality of life. so i would love to know the just ajustification at this point, what's the next goal post they're looking to reach. pete: power. jedediah: that's what it's starting to look like. that's why you have uprisings along the country. we begin with a fox news alert. crews are battling a massive warehouse fire at pier 45 in san francisco. flames are threatening surrounding buildings and a vintage world war ii ship nearby. no injuries are reported. nba legend patrick ewing tests positive for the coronavirus. he is isolated at a hospital. the school says he is the only program member to test positive. tweeted in part, this virus is serious and should not be taken lightly. i want to encourage everyone to stay safe and take care of yourselves and loved ones. nascar is one step closer to normalcy. since the pandemic, the coca-cola 600 race will be held

it's more of a wisconsin wave. let me just show you the status of this baby right here. i'm with you on -- thank goodness, i've got the hair spray here. i feel like -- i was telling tammy, our executive producer, i feel like it's spurned the alter ego. i'm watching more nascar, i'm more laid back, just take it in stride and also spending more time tending to my hair. pete: griff 2.0 is camaro griff. like we're really -- what are you listening to right now? are you listening to like -- griff: a lot of ac/dc, guns and roses, you bet ya. don't stop believing. ♪ just gold ole boys. pete: you're going to buy a t-top thunderbird, that's coming up next. griff: all right. pete: i love it. we're managing it just like the rest of you, paging a barber if you want to come to my garage but don't tough griff.

tell us about your lawsuit, how this all came about and what happened. >> what came about was back in march when our governor issued the first stay at home order and extended it again, we sat back as all businesses did because of what was unknown. but as these extensions and the executive order continued to persist on top of each other, we took a look at the statute and it was very clear in our interpretation that 30 days is 30 days. and our governor clearly showed no regard to the law as it was written and we made a decision on may 4th when he extended things to may 30th to go ahead and open. we looked at the evaluation of what was being deemed essential versus nonessential and i scratched my head and said how can walmart, bass pro, target sell shoes, socks and apparel

and that's deemed essential. meanwhile, on a single day they're going to funnel more people into their business than i will in an entire month and that's deemed safe and essential but my business is not? other businesses like mine are not essential? my workers are not essential? so we brought a lawsuit against him. jedediah: adam, unfortunately you did not win the case. why do you think that was? and what kind of recourse do you have at this point, given that fact? >> oh, speculation. you know, the governor filed for a change of venue motion to take things down to springfield, the capital, took it out of our hometown and was successful in that endeavor, that motion and it was ruled down. literally, the attorneys were arguing period placement, comma placement inside of a law. i can speculate as to why it ultimately got shot down because illinois is illinois.

but ultimately -- jedediah: adam, what do you do now? i'm listening to you talk about your business. obviously, this is your passion. you've obviously worked so hard and you're speaking for so many people around the country that feel like what do we do. so what is your next step? >> we're considering appealing the case. but i think it ultimately -- the next step we took the next day. we opened at 10:00 of a.m. and i would encourage other small businesses alike to stand up, reclaim their personal liberties, say enough is enough. and continue to take care of their family, take care of their employees, their team members, and take care of the community that they serve. that's what we have to do at this point. jedediah: well, adam, the struggles that you are facing are faced by a lot of business owners around the country. i know they're watching and feeling like you're echoing their sentiments.

good luck with your business and thank you so much for being here to share your concerns. >> thank you. jedediah: heros helping heros, despite the constant demand on essential businesses during the pandemic, one grocer is able to give back by raising money for fold of honor this memorial day. the company's ceo and founder join us live coming up next. you wouldn't accept an incomplete job from anyone else.

the naacp endorsed me every time i've run. come on, take a look at the record. pete: he says take a look at the record. presumptive democrat nominee joe biden taking heat over that interview, including from our next guest who calls the comments arrogant and condescending. griff: republican senator from south carolina, tim scott, joins us now. senator, thank you for joining us. obviously a very sensitive moment. i was pointing out earlier in the show, it is because of the african american vote in south carolina joe biden is relevant and is likely headed for the nomination. what do you make of these comments and what do you make of his record? >> well, there's no doubt that if you look at -- the fact that he is the no, ma'am me, basically -- nominee, basically speaking, is because south carolina's african american population stood up and trusted joe biden not as much as they trusted jim clyburn and followed jim clyburn's endorsement of joe biden. that's why he is in the position

he is in, which reinforces the negative narrative that joe biden ain't woke. i'd say it the way he would say it if he were on an african american station. he's playing to an audience, assuming that the audience -- they're not smart enough to figure it out. i'm glad he was called out on that negativity and arrogance. frankly, i would love, love to have a conversation about joe biden's record versus donald trump's record. can we please have that conversation on national tv, fox news, cnn, abc, this is a record that the president will win on. think about the opportunity zone legislation in and of itself. president trump has helped create a $75 billion investment into the poorest communities and now lindsey graham and the president are working to bring broadband into those poorest areas. the ability to connect people

who today are unconnected, for learning, for medicine and for jobs of the future. what has joe biden done in the last 20 years and the answer is cribbincrickets. think about the crime bill that disproportionately targeted african machine males. american males. president trump said we'll help people who are coming out not return. that's a form of compassion that could be measured by the lives changed by the families impacted and for joe biden to say to 1.3 million african americans who voted for president trump that they ain't black is arrogant, condescending and frankly speaks to the families of the 1.3 million african american as well. pete: so well said. jedediah: senator, i'm always

inclined to think that a comment like this, the one joe biden made on the breakfast club, would have consequences for him when it comes to voters. but the think is, when you look back in history, this is not the first time that joe biden has made a comment like that and he continues to get away with it. let's take a look back in this clip. >> sure. >> poor kids are just and bright and just as talented as white kids, wealthy kids, black kids, asian kids. unchain wall street. they're going to put you all back in chains. i've had a great relationship in delaware, the largest growth in population is indian american, moving from india. you cannot go to a 7-eleven or a dunkin' donuts unless you have a slight indian accent. i'm not joking. pete: wow. jedediah: this is a pattern of behavior. will it matter to voters this time around? >> i think it will.

mostly because folks in the celebrity community and african american community are coming out saying, wait a second, let's actually take a look at the record and see what he's produced. the crack cocaine disparity is something he produced. most african americans find that to be deplorable. i mentioned the crime bill. kamala harris when she was debating him on the stage talked about his opposition to integration. there are so many clear points, landmarks in his career that if we have a chance to debate the issues, a chance to debate his performance, what we will say is president trump, let me get this right, president trump has provided the highest level of funding for historically black colleges and universities in the history of the country. you mean to tell me it was president trump who made the permanent funding for those hbcus, permanent for the next 10 years. then they'll say you mean to

tell me that president trump is the one that focused on sickle cell anemia, a disease that is rampant in the african american community and not vice president biden? you mean to tell me the opportunity scholarships in washington, d.c. supported by dianne feinstein, cory booker, tim scott, ron johnson, signed into law that continues to provide public charter schools more resources. wait a second. i thought that would be -- no, it's not biden. it's donald trump who i have already predicted would not receive 8% of the african american vote but 50% increase, at least 12%. and the reason why is the more we focus on his record, it becomes more and more undeniable that if you were looking for proof in the pudding and not rhetoric that is consistent con, you go with president trump and not with vice president joe,

john, beau biden. i mean, you just don't do it. you go with the guy who is producing results and frankly, i am just amazed that the last decade democrats have had an entitlement mentality that they are entitled to the black vote and president trump said, and he said it well, there's nothing to lose by giving the republican party a second look. it's like corn flakes. taste them again for the first time. [ laughter ] >> president trump, our president. pete: you lay out a devastating case, well-said. i want to -- joe biden went on to talk a little bit more about president trump. here's a portion of it. >> 2016's totally different. what you had then is you had somebody who didn't -- they didn't know it all. they wanted to just change the system, the way it was. he was the biggest change. right now, we're in a situation where it's like, you know, that show goes through town once and you find out there's no pea under any of the shelves. next time it comes back, what do

you do. you ain't playing. you've got to figure it out. pete: people wanted a change in 2016 from the obama-biden administration. >> yes. and they got i here's the thing. no one can blame anyone for a global pandemic. so the question is, what type of leadership did president trump provide for the communities at risk comparatively speaking to the previous administration or any administration. what president trump provided was simply the lowest unemployment rate in the history of this country, for african americans. for hispanics. 50-year low for our nation. 70-year low for women. but more important than just the unemployment rate, we had an increase in the labor force participation within the african american community. out of the 7 million jobs that president trump created during his administration, two-thirds went to black folks, brown folks

and women. i am looking forward to the conversation about what has he done for me lately, or wendy's where's the beef. let's get ready to rumble. this is something we can absolutely positively unequivocally win. this should be an easy one. if we have a debate on the issues, bless his heart. joe biden. griff: let's talk quickly about things you're trying to do, the senate, you're looking to release a bill, a measure offering a skills training credit worth $4,000 to workers displaced by the coronavirus. what is it? >> well, here's what we're seeing in the coronavirus. many jobs may never come back. when you hear twitter say all employees stay at home, facebook says over the next few years half of the employees will stay at home. one of the reasons why broadband is so important, i thank the president for focusing on that issue. the other thing is how do we help the folks who are unemployed get the retraining necessary for the gig economy,

how do we help them bridge the digital divide. we do that through a tax credit that says if you will go to a training program to help you be able to design web development, to work on digital opportunities, that's the place to go. pete: senator tim scott, thank you so much for joining us on this saturday morning. fantastic stuff. thank you. griff: thank you, senator. >> have a great day. pete: have a great memorial day weekend. jedediah: still ahead the fbi director ordering an internal review of the agency's handling of the michael flynn case but is it too little to late? pam bondi served on president trump's legal team and we're going to ask her when she joins us live, next. new ortho home defense max indoor insect barrier kills and prevents bugs for up to a year without odors, stains or fuss. new ortho home defense max. bugs gone. stress gone.

judge in the case faces pressure over his delay on dropping the case while questions arise about the obama administration's involvement in the probe. former florida attorney general, pam bondi, served on the president's legal team during impeachment. she joins us now. pam, so much to get into. let's quickly start with that fbi review. does that produce anything? it has no prosecutorial power. >> well, this should have happened, griff, three years ago. this should have happened in 2017. we've all been calling on director wray to look at the fbi for good reason, look at comey, look at strzok, look at page, look at mccabe, all of these individuals should have been investigated years ago. but you know what he needs to do? clean up the fbi. we love 99% of these fbi agents. they are out there. he needs to restore the reputation of the fbi as well. it's ridiculous that it's gone on this long. but at least now -- and thanks to rick grinnell declassifying

all of these documents, he doesn't have a choice but to investigate his own. that's what you have to do. and it's the top level of the fbi, not all the great men and women that we love so much throughout this country. but these people are bad and they need to be investigated. griff: pam, it is fbi misconduct which is the reasoning behind attorney general barr's move to dismiss the flynn case. flynn hangs in legal limbo at this very moment. a court of appeals ordering judge sullivan to explain his rational for why he hasn't dismissed it. he has a june 1st deadline. your thoughts? >> i spent the majority of my career in a courtroom every single day. then as attorney general, i oversaw criminal appeals for the entire state of florida for eight years. i have never in my career seen anything like this. judge sullivan needs to be taken off the bench, frankly. you have a prosecutor and a defense attorney saying there is nothing here. mike flynn has been persecuted long enough.

this case needs to be dropped and then out of nowhere this judge comes in and calls for his own investigation. he's forgetting the separation of powers, first of all. he's a member of the judiciary, not the executive branch. who is he going to get to prosecute it? he brings in a retired judge. i'm confident the appeals court will rule in the defense and prosecution who have joined forces here to dismiss this case. general flynn is a three star general, a hero, iraqi freedom, enduring freedom, everything that man has done for our country and he has been persecuted enough. and he's collateral damage because he supported our great president. griff: we shall see, june 1st is the deadline. we'll see what judge sullivan does. pam bondi, thanks very much for joining us and have a great memorial day weekend. >> you too, thank you. griff: up next,es a five time grammy winning singer and song writer and he's performing for us live from the grand ole opry,
