panel, thanks so much. tomorrow, as we mentioned on "special report" congresswoman liz cheney is our guest. we'll ask all kinds of questions. if you have any, drop me a line or a tweet at bret baier. thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. that's it for "special report," fair, balanced and unafraid. "fox news primetime" hosted by brian kilmeade this week starts right now. hi, brian. >> brian: bret, great show as usual. let me get started. good evening to everybody. and welcome to "fox news primetime." >> brian: i'm brian kilmeade tonight big show lindsey graham, jeb petraeus, senator marco rubio nancy groce and to close it out jocko will neck. i dare anyone even greg gutfeld to put this show together. pun intended. energy anxiety. the colonial pipeline finally reopened after a cyberattack russian hackers shutting down nearly a week. as a result gas prices

skyrocketing. massive fuel shortage in states across the south. one in four stations in north carolina is totally out of gas long lines causings tensions to boil over. for example, some drivers throwing some fists in north carolina, yeah, this reminds me of the 1970s, the national price of gallon of gas topped $3 for the first time since 2014. as a result, got the cost of food, cost of lumber, materials going up along with it. this gas shortage is a major kitchen table crisis for many americans. so what's the biden response in basically let's drive a tesla. >> we obviously are all in on getting the president's goals of total electricity in 2025 and net zero carbon emissions by 2050 and, you know, if you drive an electric car, this would not be affecting you, clearly. >> bret: bret. >> brian: there you go imagine you are from west virginia. first you were told to give up

your job, coal. now they want to take your truck, too. the biden administration wants once again proving how disconnected it is from americans. people aren't thinking about 2035 or 2050 right now. they need to get off the gas line to find a gas station with gas in it put something in their tank. but, don't worry, america's mayor pete buttigieg pretend riding his bike to safe the day. he called the whole experience a major wake-up call. how comforting. >> this is part of what we have in mind when we talk about rye sill yens. we need to make sure infrastructure climate resilience caused by increased frequency of severe weather events. we need to make sure we are resilient in the face of cyber threats and certainly in the kinds of things that the american jobs plan will be funding and supporting. >> brian: so he recommends we bounce back. for pete buttigieg, every week is infrastructure week. to be fair it is his job. instead of finding new ways to inject racial justice into america's bridges and highways

mayor pete and the rest of the biden team needs to make sure a cyberattack like this never happens again. after all the colonial pipeline delivers 100 million gallons of gas every single day to the east coast. diesel, gasoline, heating oil, jet fuel have been cut off for the past six days. plan b, take all that stuff, put it on trucks and trains. not so fast. here is secretary granholm again. >> these are not easy solutions pause there may or may not be the right railcars there may or may not be the deep water ports available. this is why we have doubled down on ensuring that there is an ability to truck oil, in gas in. but it's the pipe is the best way to go. >> brian: did she just say the pipeline is the best way to go? so why did the biden administration keep killing pipeline projects? how does a group of russian hackers manage to hold our gas pipelines hostage that we didn't

until now. how can we stop the next attack before it happens and how will the biden administration address this crisis with urgency, i hope. >> i think what this shows is that -- i think we have to make a greater investment in education as it relates to being able to train and graduate more people proficient in cybersecurity. and i have been saying for a long, long time now -- >> brian: so we have got to graduate people in cybersecurity with degrees. we have to wait for graduation day if kids never get back in school so i'm thinking in 2041 we will have this situation handled. senator lindsey graham to join me on this very topic. senator, something brand new in your long career? our country was brought to its knees by our own pipeline, russian hackers but not russian sponsored hackers are the ones that did it and the president wants us to go to college.

>> so, let me just say this, brian, the two responses from president biden and his spokesperson are unnerving. they are naive, they are weak. and they don't show an understanding of the problem. he should be saying we're going to prevent this in the future. i'm going to have a national strategy to upgrade cybersecurity for critical infrastructure like financial services and energy and oh, by the way, if you have electric car, apparently you can attack a power plant. that was the dumbest thing in the world. if we had all electric cars the pipeline hack wouldn't matter. what if they take down the power company, the power unit you plug your car into? so they are just disconnected. they don't understand prevention. get every major company in the country to upgrade their cybersecurity systems. reward them when they do but you can't be sued if you are attacked if you are doing the right thing. deterrence.

let russia know did russia know about this. did pakistanis know that bin laden was living in pakistan for years? yes. do the russians know they have cyber criminals in their backyard attacking infrastructure all over the world? yes. so, let's create a cyber terrorism law law that would give the united states the opportunity to go against darkside as if it's a terrorist organization. that's called deterrence and accountability. hold russia accountability for allowing this to occur in their backyard with impunity. that's what i would do. >> brian: pakistan didn't tell bin laden to come. they pretended like he wasn't there. we all knew he knew he was there they are mad at us for killing him. just like vladimir putin. how dare you accuse me of allowing this dark group to exist in my country. the problem with vladimir putin's track record he kills people who tonight do things that he likes. these guys seem to be pretty

secure. they even have a dropdown website. they have a press agency. >> well, it's funny they never attack russia. all of these cyber terrorist organizations operating inside russia leave the eastern block countries alone. they never attack russia. deterrence is achieved by changing our will laws so we can put people in jail and maybe even use the death penalty for cyber terrorism against members of darkside, up the ante so they would be less likely to do it. start a dialogue with russia that you are allowing this to happen in your backyard within impunity. we're going to start holding you accountable. >> brian: senator, i wish we lived in a world where we could rationalize our way out of this and be civilized. sadly, we are on the back foot because we expect people to act with integrity. when are we going to get on the offensive. something have you passion for free time go visit and find out the latest and that's in israel. 1200 rockets fired against

israel since monday. they have answered back. we are watching on the outside. and iran had got a big thank you from hamas for the sophisticated rockets they gave them. is there a rink between the weakness we have shown in vienna in these talks and what's happening to the persian gulf to our ships and the rockets they t are hitting israel right now. >> yeah, number one, they wouldn't be doing this if trump were president. hamas would not. the iranians would be afraid that trump would hold them accountable. so they are testing biden. and the response by the biden administration is there moral equivalency. here. they have a dispute about right aways around a mosque. you don't send 1100 rockets aimed at civilians indiscriminately to resolve that dispute. what i'm going to do is set down with some democratic colleagues and tell israel i know you're using iron dome rockets to protect yourself, count us in for resupplying you. i'm sure you have all you need, but i want to go full-all in on

making sure they have all the defensive rockets they need to protect themselves and i wish that the president of the united states would take this -- take a more aggressive approach and tell iran that you are the largest state sponsor of terrorism, all the rockets coming out of hamas for the most part have come from iran. we're not going to sit down and talk to you about sanctions relief until you stop supplying hamas and hezbollah with rockets to destroy the state of israel. if he would do that he would get iran's attention. >> senator graham, you let off the show with a bang, now you can go party. [laughter] >> brian: thank you. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> brian: serious stuff going on. john kerry forced to admit his can precious solar panels made with slave labor in china. take a look migrant crisis. record numbers. the alleged border czar kamala harris nowhere to be found. has not left the country to find out why they are coming to our country. steven miller standing by to

♪ >> brian: all right, border patrol releasing numbers at this hour. we haven't seen these numbers in about two decades. hold on to somebody tight. showing more than 170,000 migrants attempting to illegally cross our southern border in just april. i'm not kidding april alone compared to 17,000 last april. this whole week fox news correspondent bill melugin, have you probably seen him live on our air seen multiple groups of illegal immigrants crossing the rio grande river into the u.s. and sometimes he actually had to pull them up because they were going back down. watch. >> well, brian, those new numbers from customs and border protection showing a record high when it comes to encounters with migrants at the border here. we're talking a 20-year high.

and that certainly reflected by what we are seeing on the ground here in del rio, texas. we will pull up some video and show it to you now. for the fifth day in a row now here in del rio o we have witnessed a group of migrants walk into the rio grande. another group of venezuelans, some of them with little, young children. little infants, and just cross into the united states illegally. again, seeing this five days in a row now. what was different about today was we didn't see those smugglers or those coyotes with them this might be the reason why. take a look at this video here. for the first time we have been here we saw mexican military patrolling the other side of the rio grande on the mexican side. we haven't seen this before. the mexican military, the marines showed up and were actively patrolling the other side of the shore. now, some migrants still got through, but it was interesting to see the mexicans taking more of a proactive approach. and take a look at this crazy video out of demit down in the rio grande valley.

this video coming from the local constable down interest showing him actually in the pursuit in the human smuggler had some migrants in the car with him. take a look at the video you will see those migrants start bailing out or get thrown out. wild video showing how desperate that human smuggler was to not get caught. take a listen to what one will to tell us about the resources they are having to use to stop stuff like this. >> we using all resources. we are using our tactical assets, aircraft boats, boots on the ground. and we're always stretched thin but we are always trying to find that balance. >> some of those police pursuits can be deadly and they have been deadly. here in del rio, the local sheriff giving us these photos here of a human smuggler being pursued by dps. he had eight mexican nationals in his pickup truck. he ended up crashing and tragically all 8 mexico kansas died in the crash. the smuggler survived. he is now back in jail.

here in del rio interesting to see here today the mexican military actually chased away a snug glory, a coyote who appeared on the hill behind us. that was the first time we have seen mexican military do something like that so, perhaps, they are going to be more proactive from now on here in del rio, brian, we will send it back to you. >> brian: all right, bill, thanks so much. really intriguing. and you feel so bad for these people who are coming over, many obviously don't have any bad intentions but how many others can we actually absorb and what about the people who need attention here. president biden and kamala harris have yet to visit the border or the nations involved in this massive illegal immigration effort. meanwhile fox news confirmed that the construction, get, this the construction on the border wall will resume 13 miles on the rio grande valley. it's called a levee wall, just the fact that they are doing this is a major political win for president trump and everyone that swerved president trump because they said the walls didn't work and we know they do. let's bring in former donald

trump's adviser steven miller, founder of america first legal and former senior adviser to the administration throughout the four years as well chief speech writer. going to start rebuilding the wall again, steven, what do you think that says? >> i think in that case they probably just had overwhelming pressure from the border agents on the ground. the key thing for the audience tonight to understand is that every single day, at least, at least one thousand illegal aliens is getting across the border without ever being apprehended. this is known as got aways. so that's a thousand people minimum per day that border agents know are out there but they can't physically get to because they are pulled off the line dealing with the humanitarian crisis. who is among those thousand? you will have drug dealers? you will have gang members, you'll have criminals. you also have people coming here just to take jobs from hard-working americans. that is a public safety, public

health, and national security crisis, brian. >> brian: so, the number of brought acrossers, illegal immigrants is up almost 1,000%. 960% year-to-year. when the numbers were going up, not to this length, bring us inside the trump administration when the illegals were pouring through the border and trying to get cooperation from mexico, how did president trump lead? >> yeah. so that's a great question. as is well documented, during 2000 179, there was an uptick in illegal immigration that quickly turned into a crisis because legal migrants were taken add van tang of loopholes for family units, for child smugglers, and president trump gathered together is secretary of defense, secretary of homeland security, his attorney general and his senior advisers, present company include and said i want this mess fixed, i want it solved. i don't care what it takes. we're going to secure this border. we turned on every single lever

domestic, international, legal, resource, you name it we surends bodies to the border. we surged the military to the border. we issued one regulation after another. sent homeland security investigators to break up international smuggling rings. they interviewed people showing up at the border who brought you here? where do they live? who is sponsoring you? where do they live? they went to those people's houses and investigated them to break up smuggling networks. we made historic deal with mexico. three historic deals in the northern triangle with honduras, he will sal have door and guatemala. where did that leave us? with some of the lowest numbers of illegal crossers this country has ever seen. ever seen. catch and release was over. it was fixed the, if was solved, it was done. all president biden had to do was leave it untouched and instead what do we have? the highest numbers in 20 years but even more than that, if you add in the got aways, we have the highest numbers ever in the

history of our country. >> brian: last minute, mayorkas, the secretary mayorkas says we have a big heart. we are showing compassion for unaccompanied minors, they come, they get to stay. is there a downside to that? >> this is a heartless policy. these children are sexually and physically abused by these smugglers and coyotes. these women that come across with the children are also physically and sexually abused then when they come to the united states many have to pay off debts to cartels and coyotes, they're sex trafficked and labor trafficked. think about the u.s. communities. we have our own people smuggling, need help, we have been through a pandemic. instead we have to spend hundreds of billions of dollars caring for the world's illegal immigrants. the only people benefiting from this are criminal organizations that profit off of human misery and this administration, brian, is complicit in it. that's why i'm suing this administration along with the state of texas through my organization to say we must end catch and release and restore

order on our border. >> brian: where is that case right now? >> well, the next stage in the case is going to be seeking a preliminary injunction and as soon as we have an update on that, we will let you know. but i have a strong feeling, brian, that you are going to be hearing a lot more from me about litigation with respect to the upholding our our nation's immigration laws because this is a matter of survival for our country. >> brian: all right. stephen miller, thanks so much. bringing us up close and personal. >> thank you. >> brian: last four years and how it's different over the past four months. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> brian: members of the squad are accusing israel of terrorism. is president biden going to stand up to them this time? meanwhile john kerry is finally being pressed on his attempts to undermine what many believe president trump's foreign policy over the last four years? senator marco rubio has been scrambled to react to that and more next. ♪

to mr. zarif on israeli operations against iranian-backed terrorist during or following your tenure as secretary of state? >> on no occasion, never. >> never? so mr. zarif is a liar? >> mr. zarif may be confused or incorrect. >> brian: okay. first off shouldn't be wearing a mask. everyone has been vaccinated no one is near you. just a big misunderstanding former secretary of state john kerry said once again lying about his dealings with iran's foreign minister. the former secretary of state testified today he did not leak israeli secret operations to syria to iran's top diplomat, meanwhile kerry was dismissive about his dealings with zarif, if we anything about this hearing he has trouble remembering stuff, for example? >> did you meet with iranian foreign minister zarif in munich during the security conference in february of 2019. >> i don't -- i don't have a recollection of 2019. >> maybe you don't remember the year? >> i met with him -- i any i met

with him -- i know i met with him in 2018. and i met with him -- i met with him, i think, twice in 2018 and twice in 2017. >> i recall meeting him i just can't remember exactly which year. >> brian: i know how that gets. he does remember having a beer with russian conspiracy theory adam schiff. do you remember adam schiff? >> do you recall having extended conversation with the house intelligence committee chairman adam schiff at the munich security conference. >> i think we had a beer. >> he was spotted in the hall without peer. florida senator marco rubio joins me now. is it possible to remember what happened in 2018 and not in 2019? >> well, i think it's impossible to say you don't remember you met with a foreign minister of a foreign country. the answer to that i'm not sure if it was in munich or sure it

was in 2018 but i know i met with him several occasions. those meetings happen and i can guarantee they were not talking about the yankees or play national football league one thing they have in common and that's the iran deal. if i were to bet what he was saying in those meetings it was listen, don't, hold on, this guy is not going to be president in two and a half or three years. a new administration will come in and set these things right. i think that's what those meetings were about. i can't prove it. i don't think anyone can. but, you know, what else would they be talking about? that's the only thing they have in common. >> brian: so the first time in four years we have wild bombings and missile strikes on both sides between israel and the palestinians. is this a coincidence? >> well, look, i think there is a lot of factors that played into it. ultimately what have you shear a situation where hamas wants to prove this stronger than the palestinian theater. they have launched over 1,000 rockets. it's the biggest barrage we have ever seen from them. indiscriminate firing firing into tel aviv. firing at the airport and jerusalem and people talk about

the israeli response. the israeli response in most cases is they actually do the roof knocking drop explosive, call people, actually canceled schools in gaza so that kids wouldn't be in these buildings. the fundamental problem that's happening over there is that slack jihad and hamas they have no problem putting the operation sites, the missile sites right next to a nursery or a hospital or residential building. i mean, and so at the end of the day, i don't care what happened on the ground in jerusalem. the response cannot be 1,000 rockets fired into civilian areas. >> brian: senator, why don't you take a tweet by ilhan omar. it shows you president biden might have one opinion but a lot of people in his caucus have a different opinion. she tweeted out this, israeli airstrikes killing civilians in gaza is an act of terrorism. palestinians deserve protection. unlike israel missile defense program such as iron dome don't exist to protect them. unconscionable to condemn these acts on the week of ied.

is she right? >> she is out of her mind when she put that there. number one, the iron dome wouldn't need to exist if it wasn't for hamas and hezbollah. the reason it exists because these tears have rockets and they use it to try to kill israelis. that's the reason why it exists. number two the only response that you have seen had in israel is the response to these attacks. they live in a very tough neighborhood. they made abundantly clear if you hit us we will hit you back five times harder. hamas knows that. this is a plan. they do this knowing there is going to be a response. knowing that innocent are going to be killed and civilians are going to be killed. though it's going to happen. they deliberately want it to happen so they can get tweets like that and people around the world to take up their cause. these are an organization that pays bonuses which by the way was just restored giving back money to the palestinian authority and through them as well hamas. if you are a martyr as they call it if you kill yourself by trying to go after the israelis, they pay your family a stipend for the rest of their lives. they pay them a martyr's benefit.

if you go to jail for trying to kill or killing an israeli, when they get out, they promise you a be jo. they promise you a pension. and they take care of your family while you are in there. they create financial incentives for these attacks. both the palestinian authority and hamas. those are the terrorists. >> brian: with no strings attached we restored that money that's what you are referring to that stopped over the last four years because of their terrorist acts and responsibility in both the west bank as well as gaza. let's go back to john kerry for a second. you know he is the climate czar. and he wants the number one polluter, china, to start stepping to the table. they're not. big shocker. but he also admitted this about who makes solar panels and the ones that we might be buying. listen. >> how can you assure us or ensure that this quest that we're on, that slave labor, coming out of china, where genocide is taking place where we speak, are never a part of the climate solution in the united states? >> it is a problem.

gin jiang province not only produces some of the solar panels that we believe are being in some cases produced in forced labor by uyghurs. >> brian: he called it a problem. it's a problem. >> it's not a problem. it's a catastrophe. it's a humanitarian catastrophe. it's an outrage. it's genocide. they are being produced and not just that but all kinds of apparel. we have american corporations that are profiting from this as well from the cheap and free labor provided through slave labor of uyghur muslims in the jing jong region of china. it's absolutely a fact that it's happening and it is an outrage. >> brian: if we know that how should americans feel about buying, for example, two companies h and m and nike who have spoken up about this and got slapped down by the chinese government? what should we know about companies like that getting their products made from people who are basically in the middle of genocide? >> we shouldn't have products like that coming into the united states and into our market. it's as simple as that. i actually have a bill that helps achieve that we shouldn't

have it it's simple, straightforward. i don't care hot company is move your factory somewhere else but no american corporation or any corporation for that matter should be profiting off the slave labor of anyone, including the slave labor of uyghur muslims. >> brian: i think we learned we have got to bring our manufacturing back. we will pay a little bit more in order to do it and i just hope the pressure that we put on these companies to be green could be the same pressure we put on these companies to come back home this. way we know who is making the stuff. senator marco rubio, thanks so much. >> thank you. >> brian: talk to you soon. meanwhile, as the u.s. continues to withdraw forces from afghanistan. taliban militants look to get revenge before it's too late. what does this mean for our troops. we are privileged to have david petraeus for exclusive interview next. ♪ ♪

♪ >> brian: all right. the top general in afghanistan says the next two weeks will be usual for the withdrawal of u.s. led forces amade surge of taliban attacks not necessarily on us. general scott miller telling cbs news they have seen a large wave of taliban violence this month i must say as expected. involved in the recent bombing that targeted school girls killing 85. unbelievable, right? some see these attacks as a sign of what's to come as our troops leave. joining us now a man who led the surge in afghanistan when president obama took over, he took over for general mcchrystal. general david petraeus. general, your thoughts about us leaving by 9/11 2021. >> well, i fear that we are going to look back and regret this decision. what could happen now and what seems beginning to be happening is taliban further taking control of different territory. some crumbling of the afghan

security forces as we are drawing down our presence. we're also seeing the coalition forces prepare to withdraw. we had 3500. they had about 7,000 or so. at some point, some of our contractors may feel unsafe. then the maintenance of the afghan air force, we have given them some very sophisticated helicopters and aircraft that's very important in the vast country with the hindu mountains. air mobility is crucial. close air support is crucial. and it's really a psychological question. how long can the afghan security forces hang tough? they have been doing really a very admirable job over a number of years taking very tough casualties. you cannot say that the afghans are not fighting and dying for their country. they very much are. but there is enormous pressure by the taliban, by other groups affiliated with them and this latest attack may have been carried out by the slack state or perhaps al-qaeda. the attack on the girls school

that you mentioned that killed 85 in that particular attack. and, of course, it was against the minority sect. and so you now have also the situation where different sects, different ethnic groups and so forth will start to ban together and see the war lords come back to the forewith militias and have the kind of civil war you saw with the collapse of the government in the 1990s. prototype brian 150 measures. -- man have things changed. now we don't want 2500. a lot of people watching right now. republicans and democrats saying enough of this endless war. what are you -- what do you say when you hear that? >> well, first of all, i note that no one wants to see endless wars end more than those who have actually seen the death and destruction and loss, the sacrifice, that is part of war

we are ending the endless involvement. and the war is likely to get worse. we need to understand that many americans are very proud of the emergence of rights for women in afghanistan. they couldn't even go to school under the taliban. now they are not only going to school. they are going to the university. they are taking a place in the business world in society and so forth. that's over if the taliban retake control of the country. we saw, we have seen this movie before. and, of course, the last time the taliban had control of the country al qaeda was able to establish a sanctuary 9/11 attacks were planned and initial training of the attackers was conducted. one of the reasons we have stayed in afghanistan is in fact to keep al-qaeda to reestablishing the sanctuary we eliminated when we went into afghanistan in late 2001. they have tried repeatedly to reestablish it during my time as a commander, when i was at the cia and more recently in a

surprise location in the southern part of the country we also have affiliate of the slack state that is there, another cause for concern and frankly afghanistan extraordinary platform for the counter-terrorism operations in the region not the least of which, of course, was the operation that brought usama bin laden to justice in the final few months i was a commander in afghanistan. >> brian: none of that would have been there the intelligence we are going to get is going to end and i think the american people aren't ready for the transfer of power that seems up evident tillable. general david petraeus, hope people are paying attention. and maybe change gears before we all our troops pick up and leave. i'm not optimistic. thanks for all your service, general. always a privilege to talk to you. >> the privilege is mine, brian. thanks. >> brian: all right. coming up straight ahead, we got a huge update in the times square shooter manhunt that left many wondering if we should really defund the police and who came up with that ridiculous

idea? we will have nancy grace on this case. plus, former navy seal jocko willink on why americans need to get back to work and back to school and why we need to make patriotism great again. those stories and more. don't move. ♪ 'cause i do things a bit differently. wet teddy bears! wet teddy bears here! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ (vo) nobody dreams in conventional thinking. it didn't get us to the moon. it doesn't ring the bell on wall street. or disrupt the status quo. t-mobile for business uses unconventional thinking to help you realize new possibilities. like our new work from anywhere solutions, so your teams can collaborate almost anywhere.

brand new episodes on fox nation in your series. this is called in the valley of sin. before we see a clip. tell us what this is about. >> this is all about which i believe to be a witch-hunt where literally a mother and father were sitting at the surf table and. [knocking] with their children they are dragged away and arrested for child rape all in about 43 adults charged with thousands of child molestation charges and it turns out they are not true. i have spoken to many of these now adult children then. their whole lives they carried around the fact that they put their mother and dad in jail. >> brian: here's a clip. >> surprises even me how traumatizing it is as a flashback experience. over two years, 43 people were charged with 29,726 counts of child sex abuse. >> if it's true, it's one of the worst sex crimes certainly i have ever heard of. >> brian: there is a lot of up

treeg and a lot of questions, nancy, it looks great. thanks so much for joining us tonight. >> thank you. >> brian: all right. now to this. the reopening of our country, many businesses struggling to rehire employees as the pandemic restrictions are suddenly rescinded, why? because many can't resist unemployment checks. they are deciding to stay home and not work even though their jobs are being offered. my next guest has some advice for many americans who aren't going back yet because they are concerned and want to get a check for doing something. jocko willink, retired navy seal, speaker best in the business. author of warrior kid and mikey and the dragons, jocko, what is your advice to americans who have gone through this trauma over the last year and say i'm really concerned about going back to work? do you understand that? >> well, of course you are concerned and worried. guess what? take a look around. take a look at states that are already opened back up. there's no real big negative impact. in fact, no negative impacts at all. people are leading the way. courageous people are stepping out and making it happen.

it's time to follow their lead. >> brian: right. the jobs are open. go grab that job even if in the short term you might have gotten more for saying home. do the right thing. the other thing that's happening in this country i want you to weigh in. a big push on america built on slavery 1619. we fought 1776 to keep slavery. the facts really belie these new courses and this new academic push. what's your reaction to a man who shed blood for this country about patriotism and the red, white, and blue? >> look, we shouldn't hide anything from our children and we need to teach them. we need to teach them the full truth. you know, not just that america was an active participant in the evil institution of slavery but also that america fought to abolish slavery. that 360,000 union soldiers were killed in that war. and that more than 10% of those soldiers, over 40,000 killed were african-americans. many of them freed slaved themselves who also fought for america and fought for freedom

to end slavery. we need to teach the bad and the ugly for sure but we also need to teach the good as well and there's plenty of it to teach. >> brian: jocko, that's true. it maded you put on the face paint and camouflage and go fight these wars and come back and spread the leadership principles for people to wear a suit for a living. what attracted you to this country? when did you realize how special this place was? >> well, look, america is a country that's built on ideals, right? it's not a country that's built on race or on bloodlines. it's built on the ideals of freedom. and i think we owe it to each new generation to teach them to love those ideals. the ideals of america especially more than they love their bloodlines or love their skin color. that is not america. >> brian: it's not america. whether you go overseas and come back and fight for the country, what's the response, for example, when you fight in afghanistan and iraq for those who understand what you're made of and what your fellow

americans are made of? >> well, look, when i served in the military, i served along every race, alongside every race, every color, every creed with men and women from the most diverse imaginable socioeconomic background from all over the country. and we, in the military, set those differences aside. in fact, what we do is we find common ground in the very flag we wore on our sleeves and carried into battle. the flag that was draped over the coffin of our fallen friends. we are americans and we can't forget that. and we can't allow politics or government or education or media to drive us apart. we have to remain united in freedom and i think that's what we need to teach our children. >> brian: are you worried this country has gone soft? >> i work with the military still and i see those young soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines. they're not soft. they are ready to defend this great country.

>> brian: why was it important for you, a guy that has seen so much and been through so much to write books to set the ground rules, maybe for kids, and give them some guidelines? >> well, i have four kids of my own and i wanted to write books where they could get the kind of values that i wanted them to get. discipline and hard work and treating people with respect and the importance of knowledge and the importance of education and patience and being helpful and tenacity and learning about being a leader as a kid. i wanted to pass those values on not just to my kids but to all the kids in this great country. >> brian: now you know why everyone downloads his jocko podcasts. i appreciate it we will be thinking about you and i know you will coming this memorial day and be on with us again. jocko, thank you for making the time out on the west coast. >> thanks for having me. >> brian: thank you all out there for watching prime. i'm going to be here thursday and friday again. i don't want you to miss the radio show from 9 to noon eastern time the brian kilmeade show. also download brian kilmeade
