newsom's spokesman fired back, quote, california will continue to defend california's right to vote including their right to vote by mail and the right to hold an election that is safe, secure and accessible. voters shouldn't have to choose between their health and their right to vote. this lawsuit comes days after president trump publicly threatened to withhold federal funding in michigan after the secretary of state there, joslyn benson, began the process of sending ballot applications to registered voters. she said she used $4.5 million of the cares act money set aside during the pandemic to do this. now, she's not the only one to do this in michigan. other states, nevada, west virginia, nebraska and georgia, even iowa all taking part. we'll continue to watch what happens in sacramento. i suspect there will be more news today from governor newsom. back to you. jillian: i assume there will be. thank you very much, david spunt. rob: a fox news alert, a multistate manhunt underway for an armed and dangerous college

recovering. rob: he's been on fox news quite a bit. let's talk about the weather. it's a big one for adam klotz for memorial day. everyone is looking for some good weather, right? >> yeah, you're absolutely right. i think there's going to be plenty of places that get it, at least if you're talking about warmer temperatures. it is going to be feeling like summer across the country. so that's a little bit of good news. that's not only thing we're talking about. there are storms piling up in the heartland. that's going to be a lot to pay attention to. early this morning, 70 degrees in chicago, 73 degrees in kansas city. there's plenty of warm air especially out in the heartland. but with that warm air, especially along the frontal boundary, we've seen big storms the last couple days. that's something that's going to continue, particularly for folks in texas, west texas, areas where we could see big storms. this is our severe threat through tonight, you're looking at areas that include san antonio, up towards austin and up towards abaline, all spots where once again -- they've seen this the last several days, we

could see large hail, damaging winds, fast flooding, the typical pop-up thunderstorms you see in the summertime. that's fueled by extreme heat. 87 degrees in chicago today, 90 degrees in -- 72 degrees in new york. it is going to be a summer-like feel for folks across the country. so unless you're dodging raindrops, i think maybe an opportunity for a lot of folks to get outside this memorial day. jillian: all right, adam. thank you. ♪ jillian: national memorial day concert from pbs streaming online for the first time but with no less pride and honor. ♪ rob: it's beautiful. the star-studded event hosted by gargarygary sinise and joe monda

the best apology is actually a black agenda. we also want him to have a black woman running mate. jillian: radio host share lee - rob: the biden campaign works to choose a running mate. will a black woman on the ballot as vice president help biden to win in november. jillian: joining us to discuss is republican trait gis strateg. what damage if any has this done. >> i think it's beautiful to show number one, the contrast between the older generation and the new generation of leadership. sharit shows that black americas have every right to ask of our leaders the party that has benefited the most from the democrat party, has been black

voters, black voters have constantly saved the democrat party time and time again, particularly joe biden. so for vice president joe biden to, one, basically have a defiant attitude when the questions were asked of him, number one and second to have a cavalier disrespectful answer to say if you don't vote for me, you're not black, what we see is black american versus a right to ask more from the party, it haas has nothing to do with helping support the trump campaign and everything to do with helping black americans and wanting more. people that have a problem with the questions and people like me who ask the democrat party, yes, we are black, but we consider you the weakest link if you do not demand more from the party. it's showing whether -- the questions will continue to be asked, not just joe biden but 20

joe biden after him. there's a new generation leading. rob: the comment, it was almost as if biden field entitled to that -- biden feels entitled to that vote, like he has possession of the vote already. i hope you get you back here. we just lost your picture. i don't know why. let's lyn>> the vice presidentt have said it. >> do you want to be vice president. >> >> i want to do whatever job i can to continue to push this country in the right direction and make sure that america lives up to its promise for future generations. rob: all right. we're going to pretend like we're on the phone. i think we lost your picture. now you're back. okay, great. if you heard the val demings quote, what do you think of her response. >> i have great respect for her. the first person i ever

interviewed on my show was val deming. no one is tiptoeing around this. people can continue to make excuses for joe biden and continue to dance around the issue but the bottom line is this. joe biden, you have time to correct this and it needs to be corrected with action. there's plenty of time between now and november. but the more you delay, the more you continue to ignore the demands that some black americans have placed upon this party, the worse we're going to be. you can continue to send out surrogates, continue to send out folks who say we know joe biden is better than trump, that message is not going to be strong enough in order to get all of black americans to the polls. so the choice is on him. getting upset at other folks for what came out of joe biden's mouth is not our fault. it's not on us to continue to bow down to joe biden. it's on joe biden to continue to galvanize our vote and earn it each step of the way. you see the divide between old leadership and new leadership. the new leadership is here and

has no plans to back down. joe biden, the ball is your court. jillian: we didn't have time to talk about how this leads into the conversation of his potential vp pick. hopefully we can have you back on to talk about that at a later time. we are out of time. good to see you as always. >> thank you. jillian: have a good day. rob: 20 minutes after the hour. a gold star mom making sure the true meaning of memorial day is never forgotten. jillian: karen vaughn's son was killed in combat in afghanistan in 2011. she joins us to talk about the service and sacrifice and how everyday americans can honor the fallen. ♪ when you say what you're in the mood for,

jillian: erin carson vaughn dreamed of protecting his country as a navy seal, this american hero giving his life for our freedom and today we honor those just like aaron who gave the ultimate sacrifice. joining me now with his story of patriotism, his mother, karen vaughn. thank you for being here. when you wake up every memorial day, what do you think of? >> every day is memorial day for a gold star family member, right. but on this day in particular, when i wake up each year, i just think how little i understood about what freedom costs. i remember my whole life celebrating memorial day just like most americans do with think of it as a three day weekend. even while my son was serving it was just that, a weekend of celebration and it should be that. but until freedom knocked on my door, the cost of freedom knocked on my door, i didn't fully understand the depth of

why memorial day was formed. jillian: i know your son, aaron, died in august of 2011 in afghanistan. tell me about him and about his service. >> he was just a kid who always knew what he was supposed to be. he had a heart that was devoted to honesty, to truth, to fighting the bad guys, you know, little rambo as a kid, grew up on a farm, riding four-wheelers, shooting guns, you know, so many fun, hilarious stories about his personality through the years. he was fearless and sometimes i like to say it wasn't so much that he was fearless, it's that he always had fear in everything he did, like any normal human beings, but he was a person who was capable of overcoming the fear to do what needed to be done. by the time he was eight, he would tell anybody that would listen he would be a navy seal when he grew up. it seemed like a remote dream or concept to any of us in the small town in west tennessee but he knew what he was created to be. he was created to be a warrior.

we often say aaron was not a warrior after he became a navy seal, he became a navy seal because he was a warrior. that's what he was. jillian: 1.2 million casualties, more than 81,000, almost 82,000 americans still missing his world war ii. those aren't just numbers, those are faces, those are lives, those are family members. what do you want us to know today and how can we honor the fallen? >> you know, what i would just wish that americans would think about today as they celebrate and enjoy their families and their freedoms is that freedom has always had a cost. freedom is a weird blend of risk and responsibility that in the midst of this crisis, jillian, that we're in, i want people to stop and think about the fact that what those 1.3 million american sons and daughters, just like my son, aaron, died

for was so sacred and we as americans need to live life where we understand the sacredness of that gift and we never allow freedom to be taken from us, ever. we have to have responsibility but we're also a people of risk. we're frontiersmen, the spirit aboveen into our souls is beautiful and we never need to forget it. my favorite memorial that was made to my son was in front of a waterpark where kids and families play because it represents everything that's best about us. and that's what i wish people would remember, is the cost of freedom is so precious. we always need to respect what it costs to be free and never take one ounce of our freedom for granted. jillian: karen vaughn, so touching. thank you so for joining us, for your son, for the sacrifice for your family. thank you so much. have a good day, okay? >> thank you.

israeli military, this sample group is going to be a representative example of how the testing can gather data about the spread of coronavirus. i did take this very simple blood test today to learn more about the process of antibody testing for covid-19. so right now, my blood is being collected. it will then be put on a tray with coronavirus proteins. if i have antibodies for covid-19, the proteins and the antibodies will bind, giving these professors an idea of whether or not i have had coronavirus in the past. this antibody testing right now is being used to determine how many soldiers in the israeli military have coronavirus but there are a lot of other opportunities for antibody testing to help in the larger global fight against covid-19. >> using the antibody test could have benefits, people are talking about vaccinations. we have the ability to monitor

vaccinations by generating a ser test that will examine how much antibodies have been generated in response to the vaccine. if people want to do plasma transfers, we can take individuals and see how many antibodies they have within the plasma and see if this is a good candidate to take the plasma from him. >> reporter: it takes about an hour to get the results of this test back. i did test negative. the two professors we spoke with today at the tel aviv university say they could actually scale their efforts using robots to test thousands of israelis each day. rob, jillian. rob: trey, thank you. jillian: president trump firing back at presumptive democratic nominee joe biden. biden releasing an ad taking samaimat the president for golfg during the pandemic. president trump tweeted sleepy joe's representative saying i wanted to play golf, exercise

lives and those who are serving now, over 1.2 million have died thins world war ii, this is ridiculous. this is not the time to discuss this matter, to try to lower the value of our service members who have fought so hard, have done so much. look, our country has come along way. the military is now more diverse than ever. look at shea nelson, the first thunderbird air force black officer, you have general charles brown who is actually up now to be the air force chief of staff, president trump nominated him, president trump also has nominated the first black female general of the united states marine corps. so to say these type of negative comments, absolutely makes no sense. it's time out for this non nons. this is memorial day. we have many soldier whose fought va valiantly and deserveo be respected.

rob: chris says it's ridiculous to put this in the paper on memorial day weekend. how do you respond to that. >> today for memorial day we honor those who fought and gave their lives for our country. for that we are thankful and give utmost gratitude for them. we have to remember a significant amount of people that fight in our military are african american and die for our country and i think racism is important for us to discuss and consider that we have military bases and we should consider thinking about renaming them. rob: the tweet here from the pentagon spokesperson going after the new york times for choosing this particular weekend to run this story. the new york times chose to attack the u.s. military, the most diverse in the country and the most powerful force for good in the world, in world history. we have many stories of valor waiting to be told this memorial day weekend. went on to say, the new york times says more than a million

stories of the ultimate sacrifice, talking about the more than 1.2 million people that have died for this country, but they chose to tell this story. is that fair? >> so of course absolutely, i mean absolutely not, this ises absolutely ridiculous, the fact that they even want to attack our service members is utterly, absolutely ridiculous. it actually disgusts me. let's be honest. this is about politics. it has nothing to do with our service members. to have people that lost their lives -- i want people to understand this, not just a political story, literally understand what i'm saying what we're talking about here. there are individuals right now, okay, in other countries who are literally dodging bullets. this is literally so hurtful. it literally is hurtful. they're literally as we're speaking right now dodging bullets, potential security threats, whether it be land

mines, whether it be on guard as we speak, can be shot at at any given time and we have the audacity -- rob: there's a lot of veterans reacting, we've got tweets showing people that are very upset about this. is this a story that should have been run a different time. on memorial day weekend should the times have focused on positive stories saying what the military has done for this country. >> i think it's good to talk about positive stories and to thank the military that gives the ultimate sacrifice. it's also important that we discuss racism in our country and deal with it as well. rob: okay. fair enough. guys, thank you so much for coming on. we appreciate the debate. jillian, over to you. >> thank you. jillian: it is 39 minutes after the hour. an instance of do as i say, but not as i do. virginia governor ralph northam under fire over the mask-free
