>> thank you for being with us this morning and >> vacation hot spots looking to turn this corner this holiday weekend after your pandemic restrictions. but as travelers returned to the rows in the skies, rise in crime across the nation will get in the way? welcome to in a special edition of fox news this morning as we honor the service members who made the ultimate sacrifice for this nation. >> new york city no longer ghost

town with tourists once again filling the streets. >> benjamin, times square is still a shadow of its former self, but as you point out, tourists i've started to return. crime does still remain a significant problem. travel in new york city is the fourth largest single employer in numbers of visitors drop by 67%. money spent plunged by 73%. officials are optimistic though but experts think it will take until 2025 until spending in new york city will turn to prepandemic levels. compute the latter, murder up 23%, shootings up 13%.

80% and hate crimes up 77%. governor andrew cuomo says that the epidemic of crime is a top priority. >> we have a major crime problem in new york city. everything we talked about with the economy coming back you know what the first step is? people have to feel safe. >> among them, newark, los angeles, washington, d.c., all reporting a surge all reporting a surge that could scare travelers away. the pulse of the city in

times square, there are now over 200 businesses that have reopened, 18 businesses have opened, and the number of tourists continues to increase. >> julia: so looking forward to getting back to all of it. david lee miller, great to see you. >> they don't want you to know the truth on that bill and they don't want you to know that they don't see what the polls. they don't want you to know that you have rights. we are going to be your voice and we are going to be that person for you. your voice will not be silenced and you will hear from you. >> benjamin: late last night, democrats staged a dramatic walkout to block a sweeping reform bill. republicans say it is needed to

strengthen election security. christina: as following the story for us. christina? >> high, good morning. democrats walked out last night, effectively killing this voting bill for the voting session. chris turner, the chair of the house democratic caucus, started the walkout last night. he released a statement saying in part, "it became obvious that republicans were going to cut off debate to ram through their vote suppression legislation. at that point, we had to take extraordinary measures to protect our constituents and their right to vote. republicans have only their self don't act themselves to blame for the way we have been acting." this is been culminating in the walkout over senate bill seven.

it was the g.o.p.'s priority voting bill. republicans of approved it early sunday morning after hours of debate. the bill would have tightened voting by limiting voting hours among other provisions. it won't make the governor's desk, but the fight is not over. governor greg abbott tweeted last night, "election integrity still must pass. they will be added to the special session agenda. there will be expected to have worked out the details when they arrive at the capitol for the special session." the governor has not said when he will call lawmakers back for the special session. >> benjamin: thank you very much. >> julia: let's bring in fox news contributor, a former speechwriter for george w. bush. thank you for being with us.

>> you just heard the report. republicans see the bill as common sense and democrats agree. they say it is an attempt for blocking ballots. which is that? texas already has a toughest voting novels demi-glace in the nation. you believe this is necessary for voting security? >> you don't have to believe that the election was stolen to believe that there needs to be voting laws are in the country. for example, there's no provisions in texas that illustrates their voting but some counties in texas decided to have dropped there that may have made sense during the pandemic, but it doesn't really make sense to continue drive-through voting when there is pandemic. that is a reasonable thing for the texas legislature to decide and it's not getting rid of drive-through voting is a return

to jim crow. it's ridiculous to suggest that. going forward, county election cannot make up their own rules without the authorization of the state legislature. they govern and make the provisions on what to have. that is something they are objecting to. it is perfectly reasonable to do this. there are other things like drop boxes which in georgia come the georgia legislature, there is no provision for drop boxes. they called those election laws jim crow but they had drop boxes for the first time. i think there's a lot of heat going on around these laws and we can debate which ones are right which was around but it's perfectly reasonable to go back and try to regularize how each state conducts its elections. speak to every state has the right to do this. republicans are pushing for that tractor voting would be eliminated as you mentioned. it also our poll voters would be

empowered. there would be an i.d. required for mail-in ballots and that was a much contested issue by former president donald trump. the mail-in ballots. why wouldn't there be a requirement for the mail-in ballots so we know who in fact is voting? >> exactly right. there is nothing wrong with requiring ids for voting. there's nothing wrong with a lot of these provisions. people couldn't agree or disagree. by the way, this tactic that they you to stop it, it is the same tactic that the left use to try and stop scott walker when he was passing his collective reform bill in wisconsin. the democrats walked out and want to cross the border to illinois so they couldn't be forced back to vote on the form. they eventually passed it. elected in the last election, there is a republican majority.

they're trying to support the will of the majority and they will be able to do that. and by the way, this is the minority and the texas legislature. you've a lot of democrats in washington trying to get rid of the filibuster and block the rights for the minority. in this case, the republican minority to block legislation. in texas, they are celebrating the minority for a final walkout and filibustering and fulfilling this bill. there's a little bit of hypocrisy going on here. >> julia: i want to move on to another topic which is interesting. it is sort of like we are rewriting history here. the legislature in republicans controlled states across the nation are moving to redefine what race related ideas can be taught in public schools and colleges. it is sort of begging the question if students are being given a whitewashed version of history. at least 16 states are considering or have actually signed into law bills that would

limit the teaching of certain ideas linked to critical race theory. are we whitewashing history here? >> it is a cancer on our education system. it teaches that america is a systemically racist country and our country was founded to support slavery which is historically false. it's also contrary to what the civil rights movement fought for. if you look at martin luther king's speech and the march on washington, he didn't argue that america was racist country. he argued that it was un-american. he argued that our founders issued a promissory note in the declaration of independence that promised every american life, litter, and the pursuit of happiness. he was coming to pass the chat. on the night before he was assassinated, he said it was bull connor who was violating american principles by trying to

uphold that purity his goal was to take the nation back to democracy which was founded by the founding fathers. he was a patriot who loved america and wanted america to live up to its promise. >> julia: thank you very much for joining us today. >> benjamin: on capitol hill, congress is taking the entire week off despite having missed deadlines for passing key parts of president biden's agenda including police reform. >> congress wrapped up on friday getting ready for a full week after already going past the deadline president biden and imposed for police reform, the one-year anniversary on torchlight staff. it was also off the table and talks. democrats gave top billing and

called it we the people act. there were big campaign promises that were going broke in, talking about raising the minimum rates to $15 an hour. and the president's first budget proposal which was released on friday, president biden didn't include promises like canceling student debt. democrats say that republicans are the ones to blame. minority leader mitch mcconnell has already said that his goal is to defeat the agenda of this administration. we had a vote on the january 6th riots and only had six strong souls to vote with us. i don't think there is necessarily go to well to albino negotiations. >> despite the slow pace, at least two democrats are still opposed to the idea of

abolishing or changing the filibuster which will allow democrats to push through more of their initiatives without having to work across the aisle. they would change that 60 vote threshold required to pass bills in the senate. two democrats so far opposed to the idea. senators christensen event and joe manchin. we'll see where it goes from here. >> benjamin: thank you. >> julia: it is a solemn day of remembrance for america's fallen heroes today. president biden preparing to lay a wreath at arlington national cemetery. we will bring that here too you live when it happens. >> benjamin: police in the miami area on the hunt for a government in a deadly weekend shooting as crime surges in democratic led cities. what can be done to keep the public safe? ted williams, on that, coming up next. to protect people. to help them save. with a home and auto bundle from progressive.

>> benjamin: another bloody weekend and several big cities with multiple chevys and chicago and new york city. some of them deadly. it's this comes with another crime raised in the u.s. authorities feared that the crime wave will get worse as we head into the summer, typically the season with the most crime. ted williams, also of fox news contributor, thank you so much for being with us as morning. it does or figures. 26 increased murders in minneapolis, 20% and fill it philadelphia. >> it's hard to make determination behind what has happened but i do believe that

there is a correlation between law-abiding citizens that have been broken in a result by badpolice officers. what we need to do is look at the playbook and go back. when i say go back, i mean to go to a time when we had what was known as an officer friendly program. we had a beat cop and that be cop knew everyone on the street. those of the things that will be necessary in these major metropolitan cities. these criminals have taken over their cities. >> julia: we see some of these bad cops that you are talking about. very few are prosecuted and

answer for their crimes. there must be more to it. speak out there is more to it than just the bad police officers the citizens to themselves, to some degree, are demoralized. there is not the marriage that is necessary between law-abiding citizens and police officers in the community. that is happening all over the country unfortunately. >> benjamin: there's the big question on whether or not this is having to do with the d from the police movement. we are receiving this and numerous democratic cities across the nation. >> they are finally seeing that they need more money and more equipment. more money isn't enough. those councilman who showed zero respect for the men and women who put their lives online every

day for this country, they need to have a whole new respect for the men and women who serve. >> they're not getting more money at the moment and they're getting less when they need more. does this policy of defunding the police need to be reversed? >> absolutely. it must be revived. any community needs to feel safe. with this so-called defunding out there, they clearly don't feel safe. what is happening is that good men and women don't feel supported and they need more funding indecent police officers. >> benjamin: what i didn't understand is that even when faced with the statistics of increasing numbers of crime across the country, democrats do not seem willing to reverse these fault of my policies of defunding the police. can you explain it? >> citizens need to look at

their elected officials and if they aren't doing their job, kick them out. you talk about anybody in any public official that talks about defunding the police department, that person should be kicked out of office because he or she is being irrational and it don't what they are talking about when it comes to protecting their communities. >> benjamin: you wanted to share some of your reflections. i know you served in vietnam. you were in the first air cavalry, i believe. what does a stain mean to you? >> it is a very chilling day. i did serve in vietnam in the first air cavalry. i would like to salute all the men and women and their families who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. one time in houston, texas, two

of my childhood friends, we were filled with tears in vietnam. i want to salute those men and my heart goes out to all of the families who no longer have their loved ones here. just remember, those men and women made the ultimate sacrifice so you and i and everyone can live in a free country. >> benjamin: thank you, thank you for your service, and thank you for those. it's important to remember individuals on this day. we look forward to seeing you next time. >> julia: it's not just illegal migrants crossing the southern border. in the alarming spike in mexican drug cartel activity across the

rio grande. fox news and exclusive ahead. one of cnn's top anchors slams chris cuomo over his secret strategy sessions with his governor brother. joe concha joins fox live next. i brought in ensure max protein, with thirty grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks! ( sighs wearily ) here, i'll take that! ( excited yell ) woo-hoo! ensure max protein. with thirty grams of protein, one-gram of sugar, and nutrients to support immune health! ( abbot sonic ) how am i doing? and nutrients to support immune health! some say this is my greatest challenge ever. governments in record debt; inflation rising and currencies falling. but i've seen centuries of rises and falls.

i had a love affair with tulips once. lived through the crash of '29 and early dot-com hype. watched mortgages play the villain beside a true greek tragedy. and now here i am, with one companion that's been with me for millennia; hedging the risks you choose and those that choose you. the physical seam of a digital world, traded with a touch. my strongest ally and my closest asset. the gold standard, so to speak ;) people call my future uncertain. but there's one thing i am sure of...

to make progress, we must keep taking steps forward. we believe the future of energy is lower carbon. and to get there, the world needs to reduce global emissions. at chevron, we're taking action. tying our executives' pay to lowering the carbon emissions intensity of our operations. it's tempting to see how far we've come. but it's only human... to know how far we have to go. but it's only human... you need an ecolab to kscientific clean here. go. and you need it here. and here. and here. which is why the scientific expertise that helps operating rooms stay clean is now helping the places you go every day too. seek a commitment to clean. look for the ecolab science certified seal.

who are working this area incredibly hard. take a look at these images you just mentioned. the picture here obtained by fox news exclusively shows a stash house in rome a texas busted by public safety office this weekend. you can see 41 men, 11 women, and three children. migrants being smuggled into the united states. often times these migrants are exploited by the cartel for more cash before they are finally released to their families. the second image is striking. it shows smugglers attempting swim bundles of narcotics across the river. when they saw officers on the u.s. side, they got scared, turned around, and swim back to mexico with the drugs in hand. texas has focused mostly on cartel activity here but a source tells us that their job is getting tougher and tougher

because the cartels are actually surveilling them. we are told that cartels are sending scouts to hotels across the border here to figure out which agencies are on the ground and how many bodies are here. they're also using a flight tracking app that can track planes that should be undetected to the naked eye. here's track both on sunday morning and what the biden administration should be doing. >> they need to show the migrants in the cartels that it's not okay to smuggle migrants and families across a border. but most importantly, that there is a consequence to that behavior. >> dps tells me that they will exploit any gaps in the rio grande river and really, authorities do not have enough bodies, enough resources to patrol this area properly the

way it should be. >> benjamin: thank you very much. so far this year, more than last year in total. a worrying statistic there. >> julia: more trouble at cnn. the networks jake tapper ripping colleague chris cuomo for secretly strategizing with his brother, new york andrew cuomo, on allocated sexual harassment. he is saying an interview, "i cannot imagine a world in which anybody in journalism thinks that it is. "let's talk about this recent 200 times podcast with jack tabor don't act on it jake tapper. remember, these two are colleagues. >> obviously this is my workplace, my home.

i cannot imagine a place where anybody in journalism thinks that is appropriate i have a brother so, i get it but that was not a fun day. >> julia: is it right? is it right for them to publicly criticize his colleague? we did not hear from his boss criticizing but his colleague did. >> his bots did not reprimand cuomo in any way, shape, or form. it is what he was advising him on. how to dismiss, this credit allegations of sexual harassment by staffers of the garter and her nearly 35 governors younger than him. he might want to set this one

out as advising politicians which is a thing at cnn. he might've remembered against conor lamb. in writing, i wasn't trying to write you out of running cottages advising you to run in a different district. think about what cnn has a red chris cuomo to get away with. remember, it was march 2020 when he got vaccine before anyone else. he faked his quarantine to the point where a verbal, 6-year-old man got in a vertebral conversation with him and then filed a complaint against

him. he was advising form a trump attorney michael cohen not only beginning on this in an interview but how to answer those questions. he should of been suspended a long time ago and now this. advising his brother on how to answer sexual harassment claims. it is a mess of that network this time which is why in prime time they have lost 70% of their audience just as here. >> benjamin: you have to look at the sexual harassment, you have to look at the nursing him scandal. they seem untouchable no matter what they do. why is that? >> money. it's a paycheck. i guess it's because chris cuomo is the highest rated anchor on cnn. it's like being the skinniest kid at fat camp. jake tapper has spoken up and got for him, i guess. but what about the women at cnn? all of the women that may been

involved with the me too movement and have experienced sexual harassment themselves. why are they speaking up? probably for fear of the jobs. when they see management at cnn not doing anything for chris cuomo for all the things i just listen, they're probably afraid this could cost him a promotion or even their job if they speak out publicly. but since tapper is on the same level as cuomo but i guess not too many people can at that particular network. >> julia: since from the topic of media bias, i've another topic for you. it warns that the news business is headed for trouble if it won't control its biases. this is coming after the wuhan lab elite theory which was ruled out after a lot of the media after no evidence was presented to back that up.

has the mainstream media just lost all credibility over the lab week theory? >> it is headed towards trouble is what the column makes the argument for. oh, no, it has been in trouble for quite some time. as far as it wasn't just as missing the lab leak theory. it was the way it was dismissed. senator tom cotton brought it up in spring of 2020. that was logical and it's what they do it particular lab. he was called the conspiracy theorist along with the 45th president who said the same thing. you can't put humpty dumpty back together. i just read the book to my 5-year-old, trust me, it can be done. "eight and ten knowingly engaged

in false or misleading stories." the stuff is intentional to support one party over number and americans are over it. headed toward trouble? we've been in trouble for quite some time. >> julia: if you could come with a little more energy next time, that would be really appreciated. >> never dealt pixie sticks and coffee. >> julia: always great to see you. >> benjamin: kamala harris doing damage control after critics slam her for a insensitive memorial day tweets. but too little, too late. plus, suing eight texas hospital for making covid vaccinations mandatory. coming up next

why choose proven quality sleep from sleep number? because a good night's rest is where muscles recover, and our minds are restored. the new sleep number 360 smart bed is temperature balancing. and it helps keep you asleep by sensing your movement and automatically adjusts to keep you both effortlessly comfortable. perfect for those relaxing weekends. proven quality sleep, is life-changing sleep. only from sleep number. your heart is at the heart of everything you do. and if you have heart failure, there's a medicine specifically made for heart failure entresto.

arrest of a gunman of a road rage incident that left a 6-year-old dead, aiden was shot dead while his mom drove him to school earlier this month. she says that a vehicle cut her off and she heard a loud noise but so are her son cried out out. it was a volkswagen and anyone with information is asked to call highway patrol. >> benjamin: more than 100 workers suing the hospital where they work for requiring staff to get the covid vaccine. employee said they were given until june 7th to get the vaccine or risk getting suspended or fired. they say that the hospital is breaking ethics code to ban

ethical things. they say, "the hospital's folk it to forcing employees lake hamsters." thank you so much for being with us today. i want to read to you briefly what the ceo and a host of the hospital said in his defense. he said, "as health care workers, it is our sacred duty to protect our patients who are the most vulnerable in our community. it is unfortunate that the few remaining employees who refuse to get vaccinated and put our patients first responding in this way." can employees demand vaccinations from their employers? >> they can. because we are in the midst of a

hells crisi. even if it's not in a hospital setting as a ceo stated, it is a very vulnerable population that needs the utmost care. they can enforce out but with a caveat. you can mandate it, but you have to be open as an employer to ensure that those individuals that object to having a vaccination are given the opportunity to seek an accommodation either for health reasons or for religious exemptions. those are the two caveats with respect to vaccinations as long as they're in an interactive process with their employers to make employees that are objecting to the vaccination and that way they can disclose to the american disabilities act which allows that objection to enter into the mainstream conversation with the employee

and employer. >> benjamin: here is what bob nevin said. he was fired for the hospital are not getting the hot vaccine. he said, "i was fired after two weeks of giving the mandate of getting the mandate. i was put on two week suspension and then eventually fired for not getting vaccine." saying the vaccine is an experimental case, do they have a case to it on that route? >> they don't have a case because of their safety objections. they say that is, "we have a legitimate business reason for objecting this procedure is put in place." in a hospital setting, these are very vulnerable individuals and you need to take the utmost care that they are safe. if your employees are unwilling

to take the vaccine as in this case and they are interacting with these patients, they can't be accommodated, they can't preside the services, so law allows those employers to fire those employees to ensure it is safe as long as there's been some interactive process with the employees. the objection that this particular employee is raising is one, at most, it's the only radical and the scientists are going to come forward. if i was the defense attorney, i would have experts lined up saying that this is very safe vaccine. it has gone through a rigorous process to be spent don't ask him throughout the world. therefore, it is safe to take. given all of those, ultimately, the hospital will one.

>> benjamin: thank you very much. that's all we have time for today but thank you for coming on. >> julia: we pause to remember our fallen heroes this memorial day. the talented sour foundation is helping military families and paying special tribute to a navy officer killed in a training exercise last year. his widow joins us, next. they want to be set free. to make the world more responsible, and even more incredible. ideas start the future, just like that. what's the #1 retinol brand used most by dermatologists? it's neutrogena® rapid wrinkle repair® smooths the look of

>> benjamin: we've had so many incredible stories over the weekend about people in the u.s. military military sacrifice himself for the nation. i am grateful to give my own story of my family and how they've been saved by the u.s. military. my father was born and raised in the philippines just before world war ii. when he was nine years old, the japanese took over that city and a brutal occupation began. they killed my great grandparents, my great uncle. they lived under the japanese on vacation in a japanese camp. it was some of the heaviest urban fighting in world war ii and as the battle reached its peak, along with a group of children, my father decided they needed to make a break for the

american lines. he was 12 years old and his sister was only seven. they set off running towards the frontline trying to find safety. one bite, only a few steps ahead of them, was shot by a sniper. there were the american gis to yell yelling at them to keep running, keep running. they were saved that day thanks to u.s. soldiers. a lot of soldiers gave survives capturing manila and my father's always given thanks to the soldiers and it is the reason that i am here today. my father moved to america, he went to university, became a u.s. citizen, and fold in the u.s. military, served in korea. to everyone who has served, a heartfelt thank you for everyone who it was laid down their life for this journey.

>> julia: it is an incredible story. i read the story when you told me about it and it gave me chills. once again, for him and for you and for your family to be able to memorialize how important american troops held a piece of your life having not even been in america during this all is truly remarkable. it speaks to the american spirit, really to the heart. thank you for sharing that story. as we remember american heroes this memorial day, the tunnel to towers is honoring those who sacrificed life and limb for a nation. 20 military families are being provided was mortgage free homes. the chairman and ceo of tunnels to towers and a gold star widow who is getting one of those homes. i think you both are coming on today on such a special day as we commemorate those who lost their lives. brandy, at first i want to express my deepest condolences

to you on the loss of your husband in 2020. he paid the ultimate sacrifice in 2020 but you and your family continue to be the ultimate sacrifice each and every day. as a mom of two children, it reminds us about what memorial day is all about. how is this program to help you? >> frank in his fabulous program came to us and i was at loss for words. they helped me and my children to stay in the house where we have raised my 6-year-old and my 12-year-old. they are happy to stay there and have those memories that live on with us in the house. we were able to do this without any issues because of this great foundation. >> julia: frank, your foundation tunnel to towers, we've spoken for years. obviously was named for the brave years running into the

world trade center towers to save people. this sort of help for families is remarkable. >> thank you, and thank you brandy for your family sacrifice. your husband adam was a great hero. the 20 mortgages that we paid it this memorial day weekend, it is so important that we remember wn they die and leave a family behind, what is this family going to do? they just lost a loved one. in some cases, they have a home or they don't have a home because they are traveling from base to base. tunnels for towers foundation wants to help those who soldiers died and we find a young family.

his late son bo who died over the weekend. he also warned world powers to be held accountable when it comes to the critical issues of human rights. >> i had a long conversation, two hours, recently with president xi making it clear to him that we can do nothing but speak out for human rights around the world because that is who we are. i will be meeting with president putin in a few weeks in geneva making it clear that we will not, we will not, stand by and let him abuse those rights. >> the president's upcoming meeting in geneva comes with new tensions between the u.s. and russia after recent cyber attacks believed to of been launched in russia. meanwhile, heat the president is also calling on americans to unite together and not focus on political parties or political dip beliefs. instead, focus on americans.

>> julia: apologies for coughing, my allergies are killing me. thank you. >> benjamin: president biden's approach to russia and china come out let's bring in a former republican. sean, we just heard of vitamins number memorial speech and there are some doubts about how strong or for me will be. do you think they will be wary of him, frightened by him, concerned? >> kudos for the present for standing up for human rights and pushing back on china and russia. the problem is that joe biden doesn't appear to be a strong leader who can back up those threats. the problem is that joe biden appears to be in cognitive decline. when you're focused on america, global warning and critical race

theory and teaching kids to hate their country, you're concerned about political confidence, you're not building your economy to make sure you can push back on someone like putin or xi jinping. i don't think these threats will be taken seriously. the way that we have borrowed money to create trillions of dollars of spending, we are weakening our dollar. people are going to think we implode. we don't have to do anything we won't take your threats seriously. >> benjamin: talk about president putin, there will be a meeting coming up between president biden and president putin and geneva in a few weeks. >> the backdrop here for pollutant, he has an homes confidence about his ability to read people and he has a knack for weakness.

he is taken advantage of our last few presidents. he is masterful at doing this. a former kgb agent himself and he is very intuitive and very instinctive when he is dealing with someone. >> benjamin: is already seen president putin pushing president biden with the things in ukraine, the pipeline hat, the belarus journalist. what you think and come out of the summit and meeting ahead? >> i think that joe biden is going to rely on his aides significantly as he engages with putin. if you look at the two men, i hate to say this because i'm an american, i think that putin appears stronger and smarter. but if joe brings a good staff with him and can reline that staff, hopefully he can do okay with the meeting with putin. it's important to have a strong leader and that's what our

president has done over the course of the last six months in his presidency. >> benjamin: moving on to another story here, vice president harris tweeted yesterday i believe, we put it up here. didn't mention memorial day at all. this is a second tweet that you see here. throughout her history, as we prepare to under the memorial day, we prepare to honor them on memorial day, we remember their service and their sacrifice. she just said this, enjoy the long weekend. this is memorial day. it's not just about her and her tweets. >> celebrate the long weekend? on memorial day russian mark when you sent out a picture of yourself, how centered is kamala harris?

you are celebrating this weekend and the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for liberty and freedom, to think that you don't reflect on that as the vice president and you think about yourself and yourself a picture and then to luke people to celebrate the long weekend, it would serve well to think about the men and women who sacrificed their lives for the freedom you enjoy. or you should send the message to the litter girls and boys across the country who don't have a mother or father because of the sacrifice they made for . those of the people we celebrate today on memorial day. >> benjamin: thank you so much for joining us today and have a wonderful memorial day. >> julia: police are now offering a $125,000 reward to anyone who can help identify and track down the suspect from the mass shooting outside of miami

earlier sunday morning. three gunmen opened fire on people outside of a concert. it killed two people and injured more than 20 others. any information on the shooters is asked to please call the miami police at the number on your screen. it was also violent weekend across other major cities in america. at least 17 people shot in chicago, seven more injured here in new york city. the surgeon shooting comes as president biden's doj restricts the resources all while law enforcement experts warn of an increasingly violent summer. former doj prosecutor joins me now. thank you very much for talking with us about this. it almost seems like it's a weekly occurrence. it is a daily occurrence, sadly. another violent weekend comes as

law enforcement warns of an increasingly violent summer. the doj summit rights division has brought back pattern and practices. let me explain. what it means is that an investigation will be held into local police departments accused of using excessive force. this happens of course after a police officer uses excessive force. as policing the police the best way to go about making change and protecting the streets? >> i think it's a matter of emphasis. it makes sense in certain circumstances and certain situations for the federal government to weigh in in local departments and state departments. right now, the doj civil rights is pushing hard to impose on everyone. >> julia: we are going to go to the president right now and we are going to ask you to stand by. we are going to arlington

we watched the president reflect on memorial day when we reflect on all of our fallen heroes. >> benjamin: it is such a sacred and somber day. we had president biden yesterday say this is one day you can put aside your political differences. it's not about republican and democrats, it's about americans. the people dying serving their nation, they didn't die for political parties. they died for freedom. i can speak personally that that freedom extends around the world. it is an important event and an important thing to remember on this day. if you take one thing from this, it is unity of the american people. all races, all creeds, all religions. we see this today and we were going to hear president biden speak later. we saw the defense secretary and the joint chief of staff. it is an important event to come

together and when you hear that trumpet playing, it sends shivers down her spine. it really does. you think of all of the people who have run towards dane danger and lay down their lives for other people. it is a remarkable date and one that we must all treasure. >> julia: all of the presidents before him has done the same at touching ceremony we will bring biden's remarks and he is expected to speak at the bottom of the hour around 10:30 eastern. we will bring you those remarks live. we will be right back. >> present! holt! halt.

>> these kinds of lab leaks happen all the time. even here in the united states, we have had mishaps. in china, sars one was out of labs including the last outbreak which was a pretty extensive outbreak which dino would not disclose it came out of a lab. it is important to understand the possibility that it did come from a lab. >> julia: that was a former

fda official about viral labs all over the world. his comments come as top health officials and lawmakers push to dig deeper into the possibility that covid was accidentally leapt comic leaked wuhan, china. doctor, great to see you. let's talk about the comments. he says that the accident leaks like the one in wuhan happen all the time he even here in the u.s. have we just been really lucky up until now? >> here in the united states, we do have very strict, rigid protocols and safety guidelines. human error is inevitable. it is mother nature against -- virus against humanity. it is adherence to safety protocol and also the calls to consider discontinuing this function research so we don't have further outbreaks like that

anthrax outbreak were there was threat of specimen. we don't want to see a mishandling of the small flocks or the flu. safety protocols are essential but it's more of a concern in foreign countries where we don't have easy access to the lab where there is minimal transparency. that is where the main concern is in my opinion. >> julia: that is why president trump called at the china virus. he knew from the start that it originated from a lab in china. it doesn't seem that seems to be played out so evenly in the media. my other question to you is how can we present a another covid-19 outbreak? >> that's a great question and that's why investigation is critical moving for prevention and preparation. we need to know what is going on

in the lab and what pathogens were they studying? what did they do in the research protocols? what happened to cause us outbreak? we need to know that information for prevention. that is important. in addition to preparation and making sure that we have sufficient staff and we can manufacture tests. unfortunately, it's going to happen again even if we take all necessary precautions. we are likely to see it in the future. that is why knowing what we did in the past will help us moving forward to minimize. we sell those three scientists in china. they were responsible for over 3 million deaths in this country. maybe considering eliminating that research might be safer all of mankind. >> julia: i'm glad you brought that up because you talk about lack of transparency. nobody can go in and make sure that these labs are safe so it begs the question our research

labs like the one in wuhan more trouble than what they're worth? >> they can be where there is such limited access when they would not allow cdc to enter. president trump and mike pompeo, they initiated an investigation but it was very difficult for us to go gather information. when you hide that information from the rest of the world, it creates a lot of problems and that is why it is so important to push forward and continue this investigation it was just reinitiated and hopefully will have results in 90 days which really unclassified information for the rest of us. we will know how to future prepare. >> julia: thank you very much for joining us today. >> benjamin: as border officials struggled to keep up with the surge of migrants at the southern border, our president widens policies to blaine? we are just minutes away from

>> julia: the migrants showing no chance of letting out. fox news obtained video of migrants crossing the border. what you have for us? >> good morning to you. it is a completely different world down here at the border.

these agents patrolling the border, they don't get to take a day off. i want to show you, those are national guard soldiers that are here stationed helping a border patrol agents. they are here at the river and up above and the skies we have state troopers from the texas department of public safety patrolling the skies. we saw dozens. were going to send it back to you, i think we breaking news. >> julia: back to arlington national cemetery and the president will follow. >> our gold star and surviving families wage a fight that goes on long after the funerals. it is our sacred duty to do more to ease the burden that they shoulder. on memorial day and every day. for as long as america has sent our sons and daughters into harm's way, those on the home's

front have also been on the front lines. mr. president, you know firsthand the pride of seeing a loved one put on our country's uniform. you also know what it means to wait and worry while a son serves in a battle zone far away. and you know what it means to commit american troops to fight. you understand the mixture of pride, stress, fear, and love that all of our military with. as a former commander, i know these feelings myself. for the loved ones who have fallen, let me say we know the depth of your sacrifice. but we can never know the depth of your loss.

what we can do is honor the memory of those you have lost by caring for those who warned them. by seeking to perfect our union and defend our democracy. by striving to live our lives and advance the ideals for which they gave their own. it is indeed an honor to be here with all of you today. ladies and gentlemen, the president of the united states. >> president biden: madam vice president, secretary,

general, gold star's families, my fellow americans. we gather at this sacred place in this solemn our work to engage in the most fundamental undertakings. in the service of freedom, and then the service of justice. remember the sacrifice, their valor, and their grace. we remember their smiles, their love, their laughter, their transcendent humanity. for while we stand amid monuments of stone, we must never forget that each of these markers for those known and unknown here at arlington and far beyond, represent a precious

life. a sauna, a daughter, a mother, a spouse, a sister, a friend, a neighbor. to those who mourn a loved one today, jill and i have some idea of how you were feeling. our losses are not the same. that black hole that feels like it is going to suck you into it, we get. we know the incredible pride you felt seeing your loved one where the uniform of our country and the pride they felt wearing it. our son bo's service in the national guard unit in the years he spent deployed in iraq was one of the things he was most proud of in life.

yesterday marked the anniversary of his death. it is a hard time. a hard time of year for me and our family. just like it is for so many of you. it can hurt to remember, but the hurt is how we feel and how we heal. i always feel bow close to me on memorial day. i know exactly where we need to be. right here honoring our fallen heroes. the pain and anguish of his loss, i remember the pride on his face of those bars on his shoulders. all of you who are fighting with the fresh pain of loss, as hard as it is to believe, i promise you this. the day will come when the image

of your loved one, with a smile on their lips, before it brings a tear to your eyes. the bible teaches that blessed are they who mourn for they will be comforted. that comfort, that reassurance can be a long time in coming, but it will come. i promise you. my prayer for all of you is that that day will come sooner rather than later. we all know memorial day's origins come from the civil war. war for unity, and the preservation of the constitution. in calling for such today, general john logan, commander of

the grand army of the republic, he set aside a day for her, "those who died to defend and the bodysuit late in hamlet, church yard throughout the land." so we do and so we do today in our time. the children of sacrifice and a long line of american service members each lay in that chain of honor. we live by the lights of flame and liberty. they kept burning and we are free because they were brave. here on these gentle, rolling green hills and across america. around the globe library the

heroes of the greatest experiment the world has ever known, ever seen. the experiment bears a noble name. the united states of america. women and men, all of those we honor today gave their lives for their country. but they live forever in our hearts. we are forever proud, forever honorable, forever american. they are the sentinels of liberty and the defenders of the down tread. liberators of nations. still today, americans stand watch around the world often at great personal peril.

death, loss, are not relics of american history. they are part of the american story. here in arlington why heroes who gave president lincoln called a last measure of devotion. they didn't only die at gettysburg, flanders field, the beaches of normandy, the deserts of iraq. hundreds of graves, hundreds of graves are here from recent conflicts. hundreds of patriots who gave their all. each with a meaning behind their family who live with their pain and absence every single day. i want to assure each of those

families, we will never forget. what you gave to our country. we will never fail to honor your sacrifice. each day, starting when i was vice president of the united states, i carry in my pocket a number of troops killed during the wars in afghanistan and iraq. not an approximation, not rounded off numbers. they each leave behind an entire community and family. today, that number is 7,036. 7,036 fallen angels who have lost their lives in these conflicts. on this memorial day, we honor

their legacy and their sacrifice. duty, honor, country. they lived for it, they died for it. we as a nation are eternally grateful. you know, america has been forged in the battles and fires of war. it has been secured by young men and women who answered the call of history and gave everything in service of an idea. an idea of america. it is the greatest idea in the long history of humankind. an idea that we are all created equal in the image of almighty god. we are all entitled to dignity, as my father would say, and

respect. decency, honor, the love of neighbor. they are not empty words. but the vital beating heart of our nation. our democracy must be defended at all costs because democracy makes this possible. democracy is the soul of america. and i believe it is a soul worth fighting for and so do you. a soul worth dying for. heroes who lie in eternal peace in this beautiful place, the sacred place, they believe that too. the soul of america is animated by the perennial battle between our worst instincts, between scene of late, and our better angels. between me first and we the

people. it between and generosity. cruelty and kindness. captivity and freedom. the americans of lexington, new orleans, iwo jima, normandie, korea, vietnam, afghanistan, iraq, and everything in between. they weren't fighting for dictators. they were fighting for democracy. they weren't fighting to exclude or enslave. they were fighting to build, broaden, and liberate. they weren't fighting for itself. they were fighting for the soul of a nation. for liberty and simple, fair play. simple fair play and decency. today, as we remember their sacrifice, we remind ourselves of our duty to their memory.

to the future they fought for. we owe the honored dead a debt we can never fully repay. we owe them our full souls and we owed them our best efforts to protect the union for which they died. we owe the work of our hands in our hearts to make real the promise of a nation founded on the proposition all of us, all of us, all of us, are created equal and deserve to be treated that way throughout our lives. democracy is more than a form of government. it is a way of being. it is a way of seeing the world. democracy means the rule of the people, the rule of the people. not the rule of monarchs. not the rule of the modern age. not the rule of the mighty.

literally, the rule of the people. the lives of billions from antiquity to our own hour have been shaped by the battle of aspirations of those of the greed and the few. those of selfish determination and the self-seeking of the dictator. between dreams of democracy and autocracy of around the world. our troops fought this battle around the world but also the battle of our time and the mission falls to each of us, each and every day. democracy itself is imperiled. here at home and around the world. what we do now, what we do now, how we honor the memory of the fallen will determine whether democracy will long endure.

we all take it for granted and we think we learned in school yet every generation has to fight for it. it is the biggest question. whether a system that prizes the individual that bends toward liberty, that gives everybody a chance for prosperity. whether that system can and will prevail against powerful forces that wish it harm. all that we do in our common life as a nation as part of that struggle. the struggle for democracy which is taking place around the world. democracy and autocracy. a struggle for decency and dignity. just simple decency. a struggle for prosperity, prosperity and progress. and yes, the struggle for the

soul of america itself. folks, you all know it. democracy thrives when the infrastructure of democracy is strong. people have the right to vote freely and fairly and conveniently. when a free and independent press pursues truth instead of propaganda. regardless of where they come from, what they look like. wherever americans are, there is democracy. the churches and synagogues and mosques. neighborhoods, coffee shops, diners. nature, kids soccer games. libraries, parks.

democracy begins and grows in the open hearts when we come together for a common cause. thank you taps. that's what you do. and that is where we will be preserved. for empathy is the fuel of democracy. let me say that again. empathy, empathy, is the fuel of democracy. a willingness to see each other not as enemies, but neighbors and understand what the other is going through. to state the obvious, our democracy is imperfect. it always has been. americans of all backups, races, creeds, genders, identities, sexual orientations, have long spilled their blood to defend our democracies.

the diversity of our country and of our armed services is and always has been an incredible strength. generation after generation of american heroes have signed up to be part of the fight because they understand the truth that lives in every american heart. the liberation, opportunity, justice are far more likely to pass in a democracy than in autocracy. if every person is sacred, then every person's rights are sacred. individual worth, individual sanctity, the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. we say those words so often. but think of it. the right to vote, the right to rise in a world as far as

talents can take you. unlimited by unfair barriers, privilege, power. such are the principles of democracy. why would you put these noble principles into practice? how do we do that? how do we make the ideal real or is close to real as we can make it? this nation was built on an idea. the only nation in the world built on an idea. every other nation was built on history, geography, religion. we were built on an idea. the idea of liberty and opportunity for all. we never fully realize that aspiration of our founding, but every generation has opened the door a little bit wider. every generation has opened at wider and wider to be more inclusive and include those who have been excluded before. it is a mission handed down

generation to generation. the work of perfecting our union. in 1830, when we were a young nation, this union has put their interest ahead of the common good. daniel webster rose in the capital to defend the union. to him, we were not just a collection of competing forces but a coherent hole. his cry just across the potomac in the capital resonates even now. he stood on the floor and said liberty and union now and forever, one and inseparable, liberty and union. more than 142 years later, when i first came into the united states senate at the time when our country was so deeply

divided over vietnam, the struggle of our rights and women rights. i stood to make my first speech on the floor of the senate and all of a sudden it hit me. i am standing where daniel webster stood in his desk is next to mine. i was struck by the chorus and stones of the legacy we are charged to carry forward. liberty and union now and forever. now is then and unity is essential to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. remember those who gave their all and the nation that endures because of them. we must honor their sacrifice by sustaining the best of america while honestly confronting all that we must do to make our

nation fuller, freer, and more just. we must remember that we may find the lights come on the wisdom, and yes, the courage to move forward. fight as they know belief thought of old. we remembered not just our history but our hope. not just our solemn remembrance but our new purpose. not just our solace, but our strength. this memorial day, remember that not all of us are called to make the ultimate sacrifice. we all are called by god and by history and by conscience to make our nation free and fair, just and strong, noble and whole. to this battle, may we now

dedicate our souls that our work may prove worthy of the blood of our fallen. this works, the work of democracy, is the work of our time. and for all time. if we do our duty, they will look back on us and say that we too kept the faith and there is nothing more important. nothing more sacred, nothing more american than keeping the faith. god bless the united states of america and may the light perpetually shine upon the fallen. may god bring comfort to their families and may god protect our troops. today, and always. god bless you all.

>> julia: president biden marking his first memorial day at arlington following the re-following. the president speaking of democracy calling it, "the soul of america." he said, "it has a soul worth fighting for. so do you. a soul worth dying for. heroes who lie in peace. this sacred piece. "between our worst instinct which we have seen of late in our better angels. this is, by the way, at least the second time the president has visited the nation's largest cemetery in his presidency. the very first visit in inauguration day. also want to make note that today's ceremony was an emotional one for the president. he marked another difficult milestone the other day for his family. of course, that was the anniversary of his son, an army veteran who died six years ago

to the day of brain cancer. this is a reminder of all of the families in pain today as they remember their loved ones as well. >> benjamin: and he made that very clear, president biden come at the beginning of his speech. he said it is not only remembering those who died, but those who they left behind. the number of gold star widows who have talked about the pain when that knock on the door comes by. president biden says we will never know the depth of their love and we can honor those who mourn them. 22 veterans a day committing suicide and taking their lives. we wonder whether or not enough is being done for the veterans moving forward. he talked about democracy and democracy being in peril. we look at china with its human rights abuses and we look at

russia. we have meetings coming up and summits between the two and whether or not the administration is willing to go that step further to push back on those countries that are, in his words, trying to reach our land. that was a beautiful speech and very heartfelt. i couldn't help but think there was some small mentions that he wanted to talk about the press and how important it was to not have propaganda and free voting. he talked about that for a while but it's also important to how fair those are. but certainly, a heartfelt speech. remembering not only those who died but those they left behind. >> julia: it's nodded today about politics. it is a day of remembrance. and now into our third hour of

fox news lives. a fox news alert. we begin this is a major standoff over voting rights in the lone star state. texas democrats walking out of the house chamber just before midnight to deny republicans the chance to pass a bill that would essentially tighten voting laws across the state. hello, and welcome to "fox news live" this morning. >> benjamin: democrats calling that bill and attack of rights on the ballot box. >> they don't want you to know the truth of that bill. they don't want you to know that you have rights. >> they are prepared to cut us off and prepared to silence us. we will not let them do that. we needed to send a message. in that message is very, very clear. we need a national response.

>> benjamin: but governor greg abbott said that he will call for special senate to get it passed. this is about integrity. >> asking for i.d. when someone votes, i don't believe that his voter suppression. verifying signatures is very important as well. what the republicans here would tell you that they are trying to make sure that the person voting is the person on paper for a legitimate vote devoid of fraud. >> the democrats dramatic walkout left 14 minutes to members short, effectively killing this voting bill for the legislative section. don't act on next session. turner sparked the walkout after texting members at 1045 last

night to leave the building. he says that republicans have only themselves to blame for the way this ended. speak out democrats used the last tool available for us. we killed the bill. >> president joe biden also reacted to the voting law. he says that it is an attack on democracy that we see too often this year and on proportionately targeting black and brown americans. we should be making it easier, not harder, for every eligible voter to vote. >> the texas law is shameful. in texas and throughout the country, they want to make it harder to vote and easier to steal an election. >> julia: texas democrats in

the house and the senate have been fighting to change state laws for over a month now. it was the g.o.p.'s priority voting bill. after hours of debate, it it was approved sunday morning saying it improves election security. it bans right through voting, limits early voting, empowers poll watchers, and other provisions. >> we just want to be able to account for votes and account for those who abuse the process. let's make sure that we are able to have a paper trail. let's make sure that we can watch the polls. >> julia: this bill will make the governor's desk, but he tweeted that it is an emergency item for the session. they will be added to the

special session agenda. legislators will be expected to have worked out the details when they arrive at the capitol for the special session. a special session could be held as early as tomorrow though it is unclear when it will take place. >> benjamin: fair elections as well as free elections. thank you so much. >> julia: and emotional and important issue. a former republican colorado state senator, the ceo founder of communications. president biden calls a lot undemocratic. those are his exact words. for people, specifically of color to vote. what do you make of that accusation? do you agree? >> he doesn't say what rules are bad. to say that you should have to prove you are who you say you

are, that is a very popular issue for red, yellow, black, and white believe and probably by 60% that we should verify signatures of absentee ballots that would come in. we want to have fair elections but we also want to have fair elections and that we are not having voter fraud taking place across the country. i think the majority of americans believe in that. if democrats don't, tell us what they do believe in. >> julia: under senate bill seven, there are provisions that are put forward. drive through voting would be eliminated, partisan poll watchers would be empowered, and then a new i.d. requirement for mail-in ballots. seems like a no-brainer there. how with its deter minorities

from voting? >> when you limit hours making lines longer making working people less likely to catch that ballot, it disproportionately impacts black and brown voters. you decrease the number of voting stations and when you make it harder to a ply don't act mike apply for absentee ballot, not submit, apply, theye flagrant. they're not going after voter fraud, they are going after voter access. specifically in areas where voters that are black and brown live. it used to be that under the voting rights act of that tech so would require preclearance. we know the supreme court has gutted that and they don't need to go to court to make sure these are nonoppressive restrictions. longer lines does not mean more

secure ballots. longer lines means fewer people voting. this is not subtle. the republicans lost the election and now they are looking to control who has access to the ballot box so they can regain power. again, not subtle. we do now see a need it more than ever at the federal level to set voting access standards so that this type of flagrant politicalization does not occur. >> julia: something that should be in control is who is voting. so requiring identification, that should be already in place. it shouldn't be a question of who is mailing in a ballot. >> this law expands, again, the restrictions i am talking about. this is the heart of this legislation. it is not voter i.d. which already exists in texas. this is a noose that voter access restriction and what

happens in white spread fraud. there is no evidence that this problem exists. >> julia: in texas, by the way, we should state that they have probably some of the strictest voting laws in the country. there is a poll that i want to share with you that states that a majority of people, 51%, actually see a legal voting is a major threat to stability and 48% say that laws supporting voting harder. what you say about that? >> that's on the same. it doesn't matter what race they are. they believe we should have secure elections. they want their votes to count and fraudulent votes don't count. what we are talking about here is that during the covid pandemic, you suck countries across the country pushing mail

in no other country opened up 24 hours a day except for houston. legislature is now saying we're going to stop this from being 24 hours a day when no other place in the country does. that's the only thing democrats can hang their head on and say this is a racist thing by saying this is something that a democrat that in the last election cycle. that's all republicans are doing. they let their hair on fire and what they're saying is we need to have a national law that allows for all mail ballots, cindy voting registration, and eliminating cheaper and i'm not cheating flagrant ways. >> julia: laura, i'm going to give you two seconds to make your point before we cut it off here. speak out there is absolutely no

connection between voter fraud targetingthe specific hours directly goes to the heart of who is voting. it is not subtle. when you target black and brown communities -- >> it's not targeting black and brown communities. it saying that all foods should be open at this area. >> you will find that those are the communities that black and brown people answer to. >> julia: we appreciate all of you coming on in making this a fair argument. >> benjamin: the cdc has just changed its requirements for summer camp. plus, the changing narrative on covid.

clearly it is to coax folks to get vaccinated. the case to get kids vaccinated as they are but it's not compelling. i don't think we need to get every kid vaccinated. and were not going to get every kid vaccinated. most kids are on vaccinated and for them to wear a mask outside is extremely against the science right now. >> benjamin: we know that covid for young teenagers is only as dangerous as the common influenza. when it comes to vaccinated kids, if all teachers are vaccinated and parrots are vaccinated, what is the argument for vaccinating kids and what is the push to get younger and younger kids vaccinated? >> people are exactly correct when they perceive the risk of a healthy child dying of covid is extremely small. there's never been a documented case that we know of. it has been compromised to seasonal flu desks with comorbid

conditions. if a kid has a pre-existing condition, i would recommend the vaccine. the risk of the inflammatory syndrome, which happens about one and half a million kids so far over the pandemic, not a compelling case. >> benjamin: the science is on your side and it doesn't perhaps make sense for all kids to be vaccinated. is it done a political push for this to happen? >> if you look at the way our medical leadership has ignored natural immunity and its recognition of herd immunity and natural immunity, there's presentation of the pandemic impact to our goals as a way to coax people to get vaccinated. i think we become for nano-sized about vaccination when instead we are not respecting those with natural immunity and the fact that kids are inefficient transmitters. once most adults get vaccinated,

it stops and kids. >> benjamin: there been serious altercations on planes over the federal mask mandates remaining for airline passengers. american airlines was recently d serving alcohol. pete buttigieg reports on. >> some of depends on being a workplace. of course, the decisions will be on the part of public health authorities and driven by public health considerations. it's a matter of safety, but it's also a matter of respect. >> benjamin: doctor, do you agree with him there? >> look, i think he is walking back comments to try and make sense of what is out there right

now. it is logical and if we believe in vaccines and the protective effect, the only people who are at risk in those settings are people who have chosen not to get the vaccine despite having access to the vaccine. the public perceives a very low risk of covid in the community right now and they are correct. 80%-90% have been vaccinated and unvaccinated have immunity. that means 9 out of 10 people on an airplane has immunity. at some point, we need to move on and recognize are not going to eradicate covid from society. >> benjamin: the threshold for herd immunity is 70%. depending on the region, 80%-90% have immunity. have you said that the u.s. has reached stomach reached herd immunity? >> it has an eventual slowing

that we are seeing right now. in a country of 330 million, you cannot explain that alone by the total number of the population being vaccinated. that number is just over 50%. the reason cases has plummeted is our public health officials have ignored immunity. we are there right now. >> benjamin: you paint a very optimistic and rosy picture. i wonder if you think we really are on the other side of this and we are heading into normality soon. could there be any hold up? >> first of all, we have hundreds of variants. none of them have evaded the life protecting effect of the vaccine. cases are plummeting right now and right now today, we have a distorted perception of risk. there is one 20th of influenza in a mild flu season.

one 20th. we're not going to get to zero, were probably going to be between 1,002,000 cases a year. that's because the pcr test can detect particles even though it is an insufficient number to cause an infection. >> benjamin: you give us a compelling and optimistic argument. thank you for joining us. speak to congress on vacation this week but that might not look much different other than a regular work leak. when more talks in action. can the president get his agenda moving? plus, beg memorial day misfire from vice president parents.

>> julia: major cities welcoming tourists back as pandemic restrictions ease up. rising crime may be threatening the economic recovery.

here in new york city, homicides are up at 23%. shootings are of 80%. this is compared to the same time last year. here is mayor bill de blasio on that. >> we are turning a tide from a global pandemic. i also believe recovery at self will make us safer. recovery equals safety and safety equals recovery. you see more and more activity in the city and that's going to help our police. that is going to help the violence movement. >> julia: david lee miller is live in times square with more on this. >> if you reopen it, they will come. at least, that is the hope of new york city officials when it comes to tourists. the surge in the crime rate that you just mentioned could be a significant obstacle in reviving the tourism industry here in new york city. due to covid, the number of

visitors plummeted to summit 60 per 7% that it was earlier. tourism won't return to prepandemic levels until the year 2025. including an incident earlier this month, a woman from rhode island was struck by a stray bullet. memorial day, despite the crime surge, they are not worried. >> like anyone else, use common sense. >> i'm aware of the crime but i've seen a lot of policeman around. i know how to contact them if there's an issue and we haven't had any issues. >> other cities hoping to attract tourists including new orleans, washington, d.c., and wash to los angeles.

back here in new york city, the stores, restaurants, and museums are open. broadway is still dark. shows are expected to go up at september. broadway provides nearly 100,000 jobs to new york city. it shut down and cost new york nearly $15 billion. >> julia: such a shame but we can't wait to see them reopen. thank you very much. >> benjamin: you may be on vac stomach vacation today but congress is taking the whole week off. never mind that they've missed deadlines for most key legislation but chuck schumer seems confident that things will get done at some point. >> when the senate reconvenes on june 7th, we will force the vote on hr seven. that is called the paycheck fairness act. we will also work to confirm president biden's judicial

communities. and finally, the week of june 21st, the senate will vote on s1, the for the week people act. legislation vital, vital, to defending our democracy. >> benjamin: jackie, what is the latest? >> all of these missed deadlines or putting a spotlight on the balance of power in this senate. it is mounting pressure to abolish or change the filibuster. when congress left town for a week off on friday, they'd already blown past president biden's deadline for a police reform bill which was mar anniversary of george floyd death. before the people act which democrats gave taught billion, has stalled with no aspect of g.o.p. support. talk of raising the minimum wage

to $15 an hour as going silent one area where there is traction's infrastructure. the white house has been coordinating with republicans to hash out a deal on roads and bridges before democrats go it alone. despite series of our first and counteroffers, the two sides are far apart and realize that time is running out. >> frankly, i don't think they're going to come to an agreement because republicans don't want an agreement. they're not going to accept higher taxes and we need to tax the wealthy and corporations who got that massive tax cut in 2017. i do think that in a couple weeks, democrats will go at it alone and they will succeed. >> the bipartisan bill that

tries to make america more competitive with china was bungled by the huge divide when the senate tried to pass it on thursday. it is just a snapshot of what congress is looking like right now. probably not too pleased. >> benjamin: thank you, jackie. >> julia: israeli prime minister's political career could be in real jeopardy. what his opponents are doing to unseat his power. we are live in jerusalem, coming up. in the theory that covid leaked from a wuhan lab is no longer laughed at. >> let's say that most folks in media don't care about politics. if it's coming from us, they immediately discounted

wuhan lab theory says it is time to find the truth. >> i probably have a sense of relief that we are probably going to try to find the true origins of this virus. if we find out that is the origins of this virus, china needs to pay. >> benjamin: we are back with ted harvey and laura. thank you both for sticking around and being with us. i think both of you could agree that there is overwhelming and circumstantial evidence that this lab could have been behind the leak. why one year ago when this idea was floated were people behind it called conspiracy theorist and why was this a french idea? harvey, i will come to you first. >> i think it's unfortunate that the mainstream media would rather pump out there communist chinese propaganda rather than looking at the facts. to say that there is circumstantial evidence that comes from the lab is an understatement.

there is zero evidence that it came from a wet market in wuhan but that was the narrative that china put out there. that is the narrative that the mainstream and media in america ran with. you have to question, why would they be promoting chinese communist propaganda rather than looking at the facts. donald trump, mike pompeo, and senate republicans were looking at the fact. >> benjamin: i should have said, by the way, and laura, is this trumped arrangement syndrome? >> i think it's all a lack of facts. it took us 14 years to determine the origin of the sars virus and decades to discover the origins of the 1918 virus. biden has erected the

intelligence committee to do a 90 day study and we may have more evidence then. but to say there is overwhelming evidence that it originated in wuhan is not correct. what we all need is unity in leading this virus. looking ahead and making sure our safety protocols are in place, making sure this vaccine gets distributed to countries where the virus is mutating, it is absolutely essential. all of this obsession over where the virus came from, we know that's going to take time to solve, to track from us pursuing those ends and ending in eradicating this virus and being better prepared in the future. both in her hospital infrastructure and in her vaccine and preparedness around science. that is what's essential here. that's what's going to keep us safe. >> julia: i want to switch gears a little bit for the big backlash about vice president

harris for the memorial day message that failed to mention memorial day. the vp tweeting a photo of herself saying enjoy the long weekend. >> when you are the second-in-command in this country, when you get a say in whether or not men and women go to fight and die in a war that you may not have a political investment to see, you don't get to forget that it is memorial day weekend. you don't get to say it is a long weekend on friday or saturday and then back it up with a memorial day post on sunday. you just don't get that response for error. >> julia: the vice president did finally honor the veterans tweeting on sunday, throughout our history, men and women have

risked everything to defend our freedoms and our country. as we prepare to honor them on memorial day, we remember their service and their sacrifice. i begin with this. if she hadn't posted on social media, we wouldn't begin with this. there isn't any excuse at all. to acknowledge memorial day weekend, but if you're going to tweet about the long weekend and then make matters worse by posting a picture -- commemorating the day by posting a picture of yourself, i don't have words for it. do you? >> i do. it is shameful. she is a heartbeat away from being the commander and chief of our military. my father fought in vietnam. he flew a fighter pilot and flew 750 missions in vietnam. he passed away when i was six years old. this is an impactful thing for my family.

to see the vice president of the united states to not take the opportunity to memorialize the men and women who serve this country. but i think that says more about where this generation of the democratic party is right now. we have public schools, we have universities around the country that are saying the u.s. military is no more than tools of colonialism and they should not be something to be honored. that is not the case. we have liberated countries around the world from oppressive governments and we should be honoring the sacrifices that these men and women have given on our behalf. >> julia: laura, did you feel like kamala harris made up for it with her tweet on sunday or was it too late? >> i feel like she has made up for it. i don't think there's anything to make up for, frankly. and i think politicizing this issue is shameful. it distracts from honoring the people that we should be honoring who made the ultimate sacrifice for a country. turn this into politics and a

war making political hay over an instagram post seems ridiculous and disrespectful to the following. what we should be talking about is how we are going to make sure that we honor them. not talking about this -- >> look at how the media responded to donald trump's memorial day message. it is ridiculous how the media is handling this. >> julia: it is time to wrap that up but we appreciate you both coming on for a second segment here. we thank you both. >> benjamin: a big weekend for racing fans. one company teaming up with nascar in a way that is never been done before. what they did and how you can help, coming up next. ♪ ♪

>> julia: perfect timing for memorial day weekend as nine line apparel, a vet owned company, just teamed up with rick where racing to sponsor a nascar team. >> benjamin: and place of the traditional company logos, the car featured each prince of the night it states military. tyler, thank you so much for being with us today. you've done something that has never been done before. you've sponsored the car but instead of putting your logo all over it, you decided to honor each branch of the united states military. why is that? >> we felt it was extremely fitting on this long weekend to honor our service members. there's over 750 names, many of which are my friends. that is what this is about. i get to meet with the family

members at the track. they get to tell the stories of their loved ones. they got to see that there is an organization out there that really does want to keep their memory alive. that is extremely important to our community. it is extremely important to our country at this time that we really do honor the sacrifices come of that ultimate sacrifice, that people like my friends have done for us. >> julia: this is a very exciting time and it is the first time that nascar is going to be affiliated with the four branches of the military. we aren't just talking about those who lost their lives on the front line but those who sadly and tragically lost their lives after coming back by taking their own lives. the number of suicides is truly so unsettling and something that we want to bring up right now. in 2018, for example, nearly

6500 veterans took their own lives compared to just 6,000 in 2005. despite a 4.4 million decline in the overall population of veterans. speak to those numbers for us. >> the active-duty members that leave the service are 200% more likely to commit suicide. there are a million organizations that do great work. we've partnered with 22 which is an organization that promotes suicide prevention and works with individuals to understand that this is not the final solution that they need to think about. it is extremely important for us to have discussions about the atrocities that i have seen it, that my friends have seen seats. my grandfather fought at the age

of 17 at iwo jima. he came back and he never spoke a word about what he saw. that was part of that generation and that generation would drink a little too much and they would not do it in the right way to overcome these issues. this last weekend, i got the opportunity to meet with johnny morris and tony romo -- only robin, sorry. he was very adamant about helping this cause and stopping suicide in this community. there's a lot of people that are willing to come together for the greater good. >> julia: i want to make sure that we mention their selling commemorative t-shirts to support veterans. a very excellent cause. >> if i could have one moment, i

would encourage everyone out there who is celebrating friends and family, take a moment and pause. >> benjamin: thank you so much for being with us today. we'll leave a few seconds left. it has been a pleasure to be with you today. thank you, everybody, at home and take time to spend time with their families and remember all of those who lost their lives. thank you. >> julia: that is going to do it for us on this memorial day.

>> this is a fox news alert. to some liberal media admitting journalists were wrong, a possibility of the coronavirus leaked from a lab in wuhan, china, after more than a euro censoring or downplaying the theory is a virus ravaged the world. this is "outnumbered" as we mark this memorial day. i am kennedy, good to be with you and we have fox news correspondent molly line, host of no eruption. tomi lahren is here. leslie marshall and in the virtual center seat, we love him, joey
