expensive. >> about $5 a burger, meat cost. >> rachel: can't do that with -- can't do that with a big family. >> you give the kids the 80/20. >> will: wonderful, thank you for the tips, stu. we remember those who serve and lost their lives. >> thank you for the reminder. >> julie: is someday of remembrance in america as we honor the men and women who laid down their lives for our freedom. families will be gathering for parades and cook-outs while pausing to reflect on the sacrifice that made it all possible. we have a live look now at arlington national cemetery where hundreds of thousands will pay their respects this weekend. president biden will be there at noon eastern to lay a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier. welcome, everyone, on this

memorial day. i'm julie banderas. glad to be with you today. griff? >> i'm griff jenkins. great to be with you. such a special honor to anchor on this day, memorial day, the day that we say never forget the sacrifice and valor of the brave men and women who laid down their lives in the name of freedom standing in the breach between tyranny and the cherished freedoms we have at home. arlington national cemetery a live look in the more than 400,000 tombstones in that hallowed ground of the sacrifice those heroes made. an important day as we reflect, honor and remember today, julie. but we also have more news to get to. that is -- go ahead. >> julie: i was just going to add it is a day we want to remind everybody not only a day to remember the fallen heroes, but also a day to give thanks for those veterans that were lucky enough to survive in place in war. those veterans today remembering and giving thanks for being alive but also

remembering for those who did not be so lucky. >> we'll remember them all morning long. getting to more news the doj a investigating the police response to last week's school shooting in uvalde, texas. why officers waited more than an hour to confront the gunman and children called 911 pleaded for help more than half a dozen times. casey stiegel has more from uvalde. >> it is unspeakable when you say that about 911 calls coming in from little voices pleading for help. the d.o.j. says this investigation, by the way, was requested by the mayor of uvalde, texas here because now this critical incident review as it is called is underway. it will be conducted, the idea to development action plans but also to maintain accountability because police admit that

mistakes were made at robb elementary school here last week. the school visited by president biden and first lady jill biden yesterday on their visit here instead of breaching the classroom door last tuesday where the gunman was hiding in a closet. the responding officers were told to wait for a swat team. more than 45 minutes was spent locating keys to the reinforced door before a federal tactical team took over ending the horror by getting inside that fourth grade classroom and killing the suspect. now anger, frustration, grief, the owner of a local flower shop has seen and felt it all in recent days. her phone has not stopped ringing. balloons, arrangements, sympathy gifts and orders that are very, very personal. >> it is painful because from day one we make flowers for

them when the child is born. we make flowers for their first birthday. we make flowers for their pre-k graduation. we make flowers when it is father/daughter dance at rob school so it hurts right now everybody. >> today the first visitation and funerals begin. 10-year-old was on honor roll student and wanted to be a marine biologist when she grew up. she loves animals so much dolphins were her favorites according to the obituary. it is haunting when you open the newspaper and you look at the obituary to see so many young faces. >> bill: casey, thank you. julie. >> julie: joining me now is democratic state senator from texas. he visited with president biden

in uvalde. thank you for talking to us. where would you begin if you had to pinpoint the first mistake here and what kind of accountability would you like to see in >> so i think the first mistake probably came at 12:03. that was the time when we had 19 officers. even before then quite frankly. you had seven in the hallway. those seven that were the first ones to arrive that consisted of local police as well as school district police were basically repelled. that doesn't matter. the protocol says you go in regardless. you had 911 calls coming in from children saying we're still alive. we're inside. please come in. at 12:03 we have 19 officers in that hallway. at that point i want to know which officers from which agencies were there? it is easy for people to point fingers at the local school

district police chief and certainly he was -- he did completely the wrong thing here but we have to look at these other agencies as well that had higher fire power, higher manpower. at what point does it not become their turn to take operation control? that might not be the policy now but going forward into the future we need to be looking at that. >> julie: absolutely. you met with a mother, i understand, whose daughter might have lived if she had medical attention sooner. can you tell us about that? >> yeah, these days have been so difficult out here talking to families and having these discussions. i try to be very spebtful of them. this little girl was shot through the back possibly kidney. one round. most had a different fate. one round for this little girl likely bled out. had we had law enforcement going in earlier this girl

might have lived. so we really have to evaluate this thing. there must be accountability at every level. it is not right to just put it on the local agency with six cops. there was the next agency that had 40 cops, the next agency had thousands of cops. not here but along the border. then the federal government come in and waited a little bit. then finally one of them says we are going in. and so at what point should not have the first guy said to hell with it we're going in? that's what policy dictates. he didn't happen here, it just didn't happen. >> julie: the suspect is dead. the parents want justice. they will never get justice. this suspect and murderer will never pay for what he did. who is held accountable and what does it look like to you?

>> far beyond the law enforcement circle. session after session we've talked about these mass shootings. greg abbott has five or six under his belt and done nothing. he likes to talk about the school hardening we did in 2019. a lot of good it did these kids over here. session after session we go back and give greater accessibility to militarized weapons to people, young people. you have to be 21 to buy a 9 millimeter handgun and 18 to buy an ar-15. when i talk to republican constituents they say it makes no sense. around the united states people tell you it is crazy. and so we can have waiting periods, we can have red flag laws, we have to create change now. you ask where accountability begins in texas? it begins with greg abbott and with the republican-controlled house. republican-controlled senate and every leader in the leadership level. it is the absence of leadership to have a problem staring you

in the face and do nothing. >> julie: sadly there are red flag laws and like in the state of new york with the buffalo school shooting that don't prevent these shootings from occurring. red flag laws need to be iron clad. unfortunately they don't always save lives. we must do better. senator gutierrez, we appreciate you coming on and taking the time. thank you. chris. >> julie, america's crime crisis taking no holiday this weekend. nypd releasing shocking video showing a man being randomly stabbed in broad daylight walking down a street in manhattan. one of several violent crimes in major cities over the memorial day weekend. alexandria hoff is live with more. >> more than several. today we honor those who died while defending our country largely at wartime. a different war is being waged

and sadly it played out this holiday weekend. in chicago more than 30 people have been shot since friday afternoon. 6 killed. last night and early this morning three mass shootings took place. one happened at an 80th birthday party. shootings in philadelphia have pushed the homicide rate over 200 for the year so far. 12 killed and the injured include a 4-year-old boy who shot himself in the hand on saturday. holiday weekend violence isn't confined to major cities. chattanooga, tennessee, six teenagers were shot said and two are in very critical condition. according to a 2019 department of justice report, 90% of guns used in crimes were obtained illegally. speaking on the issue of gun regulation cory booker said this. >> we should stop talking about the margins. there are police reform and gun safety and we agree on. it is not enough. there has to be more activism and engagement or we will lose

our precious democracy. >> you mentioned this. out of new york city the horrifying video shows a masked individual right there in broad daylight attacking a 29-year-old man with a knife. it happened on thursday. police say the victim did not know his attacker and that assault you are seeing there was completely at random. it's scary stuff. the victim is in stable condition and police are still searching for the suspect. >> frightening stuff. thank you, alex. julie. >> julie: trouble for house speaker nancy pelosi. her husband was arrested over the weekend, did you hear? the charge and what led up to it. plus he is a symbol of honoring america's veterans. the man known as the saluting marine joins us on the meaning of memorial day.

ever wonder what everyone's doing on their phones? they're banking, with bank of america. the groom's parents? they just found out they can redeem rewards for a second honeymoon. romance is in the air. like these two. he's realizing he's in love. and that his dating app just went up. must be fate. and phil. he forgot a gift, so he's sending the happy couple some money. digital tools so impressive, you just can't stop banking. what would you like the power to do? 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.

>> griff: house speaker nancy pelosi's husband was arrested and charged with drunken driving saturday night. according to tmz it happened after paul pelosi was in a collision with another car in

napa, california. the 82-year-old's bail was set for $5,000. house speaker pelosi was in rhode island to give yesterday' commencement event at brown university. her spokesperson said she would not be commenting on this private matter. julie. >> julie: the 36th annual rolling to remember motorcycle ride went roaring through washington, d.c. yesterday. thousands of bikers took part to honor our fallen military heroes. shine a light on the issues facing veterans. aishah hosni has more. >> thousands of riders from across the country came to the nation's capital and made a thunderous show of support for our country's veterans. the 36th annual rolling to remember ride is so massive it shuts down the entire area around the national mall. these riders are calling attention to our prisoners of war and the 82,000 missing service members.

the year they're also raising awareness for veteran suicide. the covid lock down made matters worse and calling to attention toxic exposure from the burn pits used in iraq and afghanistan. comedian and veteran advocate jon stewart was speaking about that at a rally. >> do not tell me that you don't have the money to keep a promise that you made to the veterans. if we as a country can't take care of the people that take care of us, we don't have much of a country. >> people want to remind americans as they spend time with their families this weekend to not forget it is a somber holiday. war has a cost. to really reflect on the sacrifices made by our servicemen and women. >> what rolling to remember is, this is not a celebration. it is exactly what it says, it is a memory of those that we

have lost that gave the ultimate sacrifice to this country. >> i spoke to a woman who named faith from north dakota. her family is full of veterans and she told me her kids actually bought her a plane ticket for christmas. it shows how important this is to so many people to see it here in person. in washington i'm aishah hosni, fox news. >> julie: aishah, thank you. griff. >> griff: during every rolling to remember event for the past two decades, one man stands in the middle of the motorcycle traffic to salute the veterans taking part. you see him here. he is a saluting marine and joins us now. staff sergeant tim chambers and spokesmen for am vets. i've taken my children to see you and reported on what used to be rolling thunder now rolling to remember. you have been there for as long as i can remember. when did this begin and why do you do it?

>> it started in 2002. i was actually the year before i was a part of the korean education committee. and i thought next year i'm coming out in my uniform to thank veterans before they die. the only time i thank them is at funerals. i popped up a salute. a few years went by and i thought i'm thanking patriots for caring about others and serving their country while taking an oath. more years went by and i thought 9/11. experienced 9/11 at the pentagon and embracing citizens before they get taken from us. but now i always felt heavy and another reason for my salute is an apology on behalf of our country where we could have done better. all the men and women that live in the cemeteries because they were heroes and went down range. we let them do their job. they would have made it home. it is in apology for the gold

star families and motherless and fatherless and daughters a and sons. for the pow and never got the ticket home and apology the 241 marines and sailors that perished in lebanon that the postmaster failed to commemorate them with a stamp honoring the peacekeepers of beirut and apology to my brothers and sisters to fight the war to get the promises for them to be taken care of. >> griff: you mentioned honoring the sacrifice of the heroes down range. one of the issues that is being raised today are those who come home and begin an even tougher battle. i want to show our audience just how many veteran suicides are out there and the rate that is much higher than non-veterans. veterans are 52% higher suicide rate among veterans than non-veterans. if you look at what d.o.d. recorded 384 active duty

service member suicide in 2020. an increase of 33.5% since 2016. we need to do better. what should we do, staff sergeant? >> we need to be more pro-active instead of reactive. we aren't giving a form for veterans to be honest about their feelings. they hold it in. companies are not expediting hiring veterans. first responders are not expediting hiring veterans. you already put a weapon in your hand, it is not three to four months to be employed. more of a look good check in the box and we need to hire veterans in your community. that person paints houses, that motivator builds homes. hire them first. back up the sentiment. don't just welcome them home, we need to back it up. it will save lives and put dignity back in the he waition and hold themselves accountable to themselves and less to think about on this day because those collateral damages of war are

another reason we highlight today but there are many americans, this is groundhog day and we live with this every day not just on memorial day. we don't need to be out of sight and out of mind with the sacrifice in those left behind. >> griff: you raise a good point. for the families who lost loved ones every day is memorial day. just in the last 30 seconds that we have and you have shared so much of your feelings and sentiment but you've been doing this for so long. thank you for your commitment to our veterans and those who have lost their lives in sacrifice to the nation. is there one message you want young people to know? >> people marched for freedom and people march for equality and they added something call standards to our flag. now it is up to you to not only live up to the standards and

honor the flag. >> griff: thank you for your service and for taking time today, sir. >> julie: wow. that was incredible. so powerful. thank you. the unofficial start of summer off to a rocky start for travelers. gas prices are at another record high, thousands of flights have wen canceled this busy holiday weekend stranding passengers. what are you to do if you're one of them? that's next. i've been taking prevagen on a regular basis for at least eight years. for me, the greatest benefit over the years has been that prevagen seems to help me recall things and also think more clearly. and i enthusiastically recommend prevagen. it has helped me an awful lot. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. for adults with generalized myasthenia gravis

who are positive for acetylcholine receptor antibodies, it may feel like the world is moving without you. but the picture is changing, with vyvgart. in a clinical trial, participants achieved improved daily abilities with vyvgart added to their current treatment. and vyvgart helped clinical trial participants achieve reduced muscle weakness. vyvgart may increase the risk of infection. in a clinical study, the most common infections were urinary tract and respiratory tract infections. tell your doctor if you have a history of infections or if you have symptoms of an infection. vyvgart can cause allergic reactions. the most common side effects include respiratory tract infection, headache, and urinary tract infection. picture your life in motion with vyvgart. a treatment designed using a fragment of an antibody. ask your neurologist if vyvgart could be right for you.

>> julie: hoouk agatha is heading for a stretch of tourist beaches and fishing towns on mexico's southern pacific coast. forecasters are warning it is bringing a dangerous storm surge and flooding from heavy rains. agatha gaining power after forming on sunday. the u.s. national hoouk center predicting it will make landfall as a category 3 storm this afternoon or tonight.

we'll be watching it for you. >> griff: the pain at the pump is apparently not keeping americans home this memorial day weekend while gas prices are at a new record high of $4.61 a gallon. aaa reports nearly 40 million americans are expected to hit the road for the unofficial start of the summer. airline tickets like everything else cost more as well and that's not the only problem for air travelers this holiday. christina coleman has more from santa monica, california. hi, christina. >> yes, despite those high prices millions of americans are traveling throughout the country paying tribute to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country so we can enjoy the freedoms we have today. like hanging out at the beach in santa monica. a lot of people will travel here and it will be busy. 34.9 million people will travel this holiday weekend by car. up 4.6% compared to last year.

despite record high gas prices. the national average for a gallon is 4.61, the highest on record nationally up from $3.04 a year ago. it is tough for many people dealing with record high inflation. some say they've rearranged their budget to offset these costs. >> we had to spend money on the air b and b, food and travel. over 100 to fill up the tank. how much we'll spend is in the back of our heads but we have to enjoy life and be able to travel and not let things like that stop us. >> as for those taking to the skies this holiday weekend flights are more pricey with airline fare averaging $400 for a round-trip. up 24% compared to this time in 2019. tsa still screened more than 6.4 million travelers since friday. in addition to higher prices, some worry they were going to make it to their destination.

there were more than 5,260 flight cancellations since friday and hundreds of delays due to bad weather and airline staff calling off due to covid. but whether people traveled or stayed close by millions of americans this holiday weekend are honoring the brave men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country like at the carry the load walk in honor of fallen heroes in dallas. >> the day you die and the day somebody forgets your name and they don't remember your name. i am asking people to remember their names so they won't die that second death. >> that's just one of so many beautiful and incredible ceremonies being held over this holiday weekend to honor our fallen heroes. griff. >> griff: we must never forget. christina coleman live in santa monica. thank you. julie. >> julie: let's bring in steve

moore, former economic advisor to president trump and co-founder of the committee to unleash prosperity. thank you very much for talking to us. let's talk about grocery and travel prices because people are really feeling the pain this weekend in particular. what if anything can this administration do to reverse this trend? >> hi, julie and happy memorial day to you and all the fox viewers. look, i was just listening to that report 4.61 a gallon. i paid $5.29 yesterday at the pump and many parts of the country are paying over $6 a gallon. that's something that ricochets throughout the economy. when gas prices go up, the price of everything else goes up. i have talked to a trucker a few days ago, julie. they have big tanks and he said it cost him $400 to $500 to fill up his tank now. it will cause inflation to continue throughout the economy. you mentioned food prices, those are at an all-time high now as well.

and i would have to say right now it doesn't appear there is any kind of plan from the biden administration to deal with these higher prices. all they are talking about is more taxes and more spending. that would make the inflation problem a lot worse. >> julie: we just showed video while you were talking of a california gas station where it was almost $8 a gallon for regular gas. what the heck? jennifer granholm says this is quote outrageous, she calls the gas prices and that they are a quote, exclamation point on the fact we need to move to clean energy. let's listen to that. >> but the fact that we are paying these outrageous prices almost is an exclamation point on the fact that we need to move to clean energy so that we are not in this position in the future. >> julie: what do you say to that? >> well first of all it's very distressing we have an energy secretary that knows nothing about the energy industry.

this was not an act of nature, folks, that caused these high gas prices. in some markets now 6 and $7 a gallon. it was orchestrated by the biden administration because they hate fossil fuels. they don't want people to use gas so they've killed gas pipelines, reduced the amount of drilling and if you reduce the supply of something, the price is going to go up. this is this kind of climate change fanaticism that's coming out of the white house where now consumers, real americans, everyday americans are paying a high price. when you have inflation now, julie, running at somewhere around 8%, the people's wages only up 5 to 5 1/2%, that means these policies are putting an incredible pinch on the incomes of especially middle income americans who are having a harder time every day paying their bills. if we would just simply drill more for our oil and gas here at home, we could bring that gas price down very quickly. we are going to have more

electric vehicles but those will come over the next 10 or 15 years. what will we do about right now when people are really suffering at the pump? >> julie: yeah. and let's be honest, electric vehicles are not cheap and a lot of people can't afford electric vehicles. come on. it's nothing to scoff at. just real quick i want to ask you about president biden possibly cutting that $10,000 loan debt for students. what do you make of that? is that enough money or should we -- it will expire in august and a lot of students are dreading that day. >> i think of people like my wife who took out a student loan and spent the next 15 years of her life when she graduated paying off that loan. so this idea that we'll start erasing people's loans, come on. if you make a loan, you should be an upstanding citizen and honorable person pays back their loans. what kind of message are we sending that says to people what's next? will we tell people they don't

have to pay mortgage, auto loan, this or that? >> julie: that wouldn't make sense. inflation is already at a high, can you imagine what we would be looking at if we started handing out money like that? >> one quick point. i have a great idea for reducing the student loan crisis. make the universities who overcharge families these incredible tuition, why don't we make the universities pay, not the taxpayers? >> julie: maybe put a cap on that. that would be nice by the time my kids get to college. i'm praying to god that somebody in my three children gets a scholarship. that's all i'm saying. have a great day. >> griff: we're just learning that president biden took questions departing marine one on the south lawn and asked about ukraine. as ukraine enters nearly 100 days now.

he also took questions on the uvalde, texas horrific shooting but it will be a very interesting piece of tape to turn around. because president zelenskyy over the weekend was visiting his troops in the hard-hit eastern donbas area in the city of kharkiv pleading for more money that he wants, as well as to get more weapons particularly from the u.s. and the west. it comes as many worry that the u.s. and west could possibly be losing interest. support could be waning on supporting ukraine in their fight. here is what the president said. let's listen. all right, there is no audio on this tape. we'll turn that around. this is the marvels of modern

technology. we'll turn it around and get you the sound and we will bring it to you because it's very important, julie. >> julie: yeah, we will. let's work on that and we'll take a commercial and then we'll be back. >> griff: nearly 100 days into the war. president zelenskyy is pleading for the military support. we have former c.i.a. chief dan hoffman. he was a station chief in moscow and will weigh in on all of this coming up next. the unknown is not empty. it's a storm that crashes, and consumes, replacing thought with worry. but one thing can calm uncertainty. an answer. uncovered through exploration, teamwork, and innovation.

an answer that leads to even more answers. mayo clinic. you know where to go. i'm steve. i lost 138 pounds in 9 months mayo clinic. on golo and taking release. golo saved my life. i was way overweight, and that's what sent me down the path, was i--i wanted to make sure and live for my kid. plain and simple.

>> julie: severe covid restrictions are starting to ease up in china. shanghai is ending two months of lockdowns. alex hogan following all this from our london bureau for us. hi, alex. >> this is major news for millions of people who were locked inside their homes even as people ran out of food and medicine.

while these cities are easing restrictions, they aren't fully doing away with them. in beijing restaurants remain closed but stores began partially reopening yesterday. parks, gyms, cinemas can once again run at half capacity. coronavirus restrictions are easing in sang high on wednesday while many residents will still need passes to move around. for some it is their first time out in two months. >> back to work. i feel like i'm resurrected. before i was staying at home all the time. i did not step out of my door and went nowhere. >> under china's zero covid strategy entire cities and neighborhoods are shut erd locking people at home without basic supplies. the world health organization argues this policy is simply not sustainable. the massive lockdowns and mandated testing and forced quar an teens have put a severe impact on the economy.

shanghai, the most populous city announced a 50-step plan to revitalize the economy. measures including reducing taxes for car buyers and delaying insurance payments. in beijing workers started to return to work. it all suggests the peak likely has passed and the worst for now is behind them, julie. >> julie: alex hogan, thank you. >> it requires a lot of weapons. we're getting a lot but we need much more. >> griff: ukraine's ambassador to the u.n. speaking to me over the weekend with the war in its fourth month. president zelenskyy left kyiv to visit troops in the northeast and called for more

assistance. former station chief in moscow dan hoffman is joining us. you heard the ambassador. we saw president zelenskyy in kharkiv calling for more assistance. what do you make of this? do we need to give more weapons? >> yeah, we do absolutely. we have to keep ukraine in the fight. vladimir putin is trying to leverage every bit of pressure he can on ukraine and on the west. he is using food, weaponizing food to try to induce the west to reduce our support to ukraine. but we have to keep ukraine in the fight. that's the only way we can reach a resolution that protects not only ukraine but our nato allies especially on the borders of russia. >> griff: you are looking at images of vladimir putin. he met with german and french counterparts and says he is somewhat open to resuming negotiations only if the west will stop supplying those weapons. are we any closer to getting into peace talks and getting a

resolution or will it just go on forever? >> i've been tracking vladimir putin for decades and trying to see the world through his twisted kgb eyes. when he offers negotiation it is subterfuge. he will extract the benefit. he wants to eliminate the sanctions and also wants to induce us not to provide those multiple launch rocket system artillery weapons the united states is giving ukraine so ukraine can stay in the fight. russia is the aggressor and bombed neighborhoods and schools, the maternity ward and committed more crimes in bucha. ukraine has to stay in the fight right now and the negotiations i think that germany and france initiated that phone call out of concern over the war and over the rise in food prices as a result of russia's blockade of the black sea. >> griff: that's a great point and when we sat down with

president zelenskyy what was then the 70th day of the war he told me, we broke the news some countries that are standing behind ukraine publicly are behind the doors negotiating with russia to buy what is perceived as stolen grain. let me just cut to the chase and that's this. we got a british intelligence report this morning that says the russian commanders are taking a lot of casualties in terms of their battalion groups being able to operate and what is now an old-fashioned artillery slog in donbas. can ukraine win this? >> it is for ukraine to decide when and if to negotiate. no country especially france and germany should do that on ukraine's behalf. russia has lost as many as 30,000 soldiers. that is having an impact on their ability to stay in the fight. vladimir putin has just eliminated the age restriction for russian males to serve in the military. that's kind of an indication

that russia is quote, unquote, special military operation is not going to plan. >> griff: just in the last 30 seconds we have, dan, it is memorial day. you penned an op-ed in the washington times and you have a message. what is it? >> my sons andly reflect as we always do every year on memorial day on the sacrifice that our fallen soldiers have made in combat or wounds sustained as a result of combat. this year we'll also remember the sources who provided us the intelligence that helped our soldiers get off the x and stay safe. counter factual history but thinking about the lives we saved by collecting the intelligence about ambushes and terrorist attacks that enabled our soldiers to get off the x. >> griff: former cia station chief in moscow dan hoffman. thank you for coming on today and thank you for your service. thank you. >> julie: parents across the

country scrambling to find baby formula as shortages are still on. you won't believe how far they are willing to drive to get what they need to feed their kids.

getting guns off our streets. one democrat's determined to get it done. attorney general rob bonta knows safer streets start with smarter gun control. and bonta says we must ban assault weapons. but eric early, a trump republican who goes too far defending the nra and would loosen laws on ammunition and gun sales. because for him, protecting the second amendment is everything. eric early. too extreme, too conservative for california. fanduel and draftkings, too conservative two out of state corporations making big promises to californians. what's the real math behind their ballot measure for online sports betting? 90% of profits

go to the out of state corporations permanently. only eight and a half cents is left for the homeless. and in virginia, arizona, and other states, fanduel and draftkings use loopholes to pay far less than was promised. sound familiar? it should. it's another bad scheme for california. >> i know a lot of them come

here to buy. >> i think not difficult for anybody to come over and try to get something. just asked me two hours ago, now that i am in tijuana if i could stop by the costco to see if i can buy the formula for the babies. >> julie: the shortage is only getting worse. the out of stock rate hit 70% last week. double the 40% rate in april. some parents are taking matters into their own hands, even starting to travel to mexico to find supplies. family doctor and fox news contributor dr. janette nesheiwat joins us now. we talk a lot about illegal immigration and mexicans coming here. americans are going to mexico for baby formula now and fortunate to be allowed to do that. it's not where we want our american moms and dads turning for baby formula for god sakes. what do you say about the out

of stock rate being at 70% last week, which is a dramatic jump from 40% in april? >> it's heartbreaking. parents are still faced with this very serious struggle trying to find simple formula to feed their children. it has got to the point with we see babies being hospitalized throughout the nation in tennessee, florida, north carolina because it's very important that babies have the exact amount of nutrition and vitamins and minerals an fats and proteins. too little or too much can be catastrophic and damage their liver or kidneys and result in seizures. it is very important that we work harder to try to find a solution. we have to insure that we open up the abbott factory safely and insure we get the imports that are not just formula imports for babies with strict nutritional needs but what about the other 23 million babies who have regular formula needs? we have to keep them in mind. 1 in 5 babies require formula

for its sole feeding and more than 50% of parents who supplement formula feedings with other forms of nutrition. a problem we need to work hard on. heartbreaking to see families having to cross-country lines just to feed their children. >> julie: what's really frustrating for any parent, knowing the biden administration could have foreseen this like they did with home vaccine kits and covid testing, remember that? they wished they had seen it coming. obviously it was pretty out there. the biden administration is trying to play catch-up and they have flown in three shipments i understand from overseas to help ease the shortage. the question is, is that enough? are they doing enough do you think to fix the crisis? >> no, i don't think it's enough. one shipment can last maybe for about a week and then what are we going to do after that? we're seeing parents traveling and searching from store to store and i recommend to my patients to parents it's okay

if you have to switch brands to find a solution, to have something to feed your child. don't be afraid to switch brands. always realize you are not alone. if you have a pediatrician or doctor, call us and we can help you find the formula that you need. certainly not enough. we need to continue to push for more of the defense production act to create more and manufacture more of this baby formula here in the united states and not rely solely now on international imports. we definitely don't want to see any interference with individual requests in ordering formula as well. that can really create further problems. >> julie: yeah. i could also sadly see where this could go. the black-market, third party vendors could try to sell the stuff. my advice to any mom buying baby formula no matter where you get it, check the expiration date on it. you never know what shelf that came from. it could come from a warehouse where it was supposed to be tossed but somebody tried to grab it and make money off you. certainly something to look out

for. thank you, dr. nesheiwat. >> thank you. >> griff: julie, president biden vowing to take action to prevent another mass children like the one that killed 19 children in uvalde, texas. what could the president do? we'll find out when we talk to someone who represents the district. today we're honoring all the heroes who paid the ultimate sacrifice. we have much more on that coming up. miss allen over there isn't checking lesson plans. she's getting graded on her green investments with merrill. a-plus. still got it.

i'm griff jenkins. julie, great to be with you. >> julie: it's great to be here. i'm julie banderas and also great to hear the voices of military members who are reminding us of what this day is all about when we say happy memorial day, we don't think of it as a holiday, a time of joy, rejoice but really a time of being thankful for our freedom because of the fallen veterans no longer with us today. that's what we remember on this memorial day. >> griff: it is a day we remember and honor their sacrifice by living worthy of it. julie. >> julie: yeah, absolutely. so we move on now to other news. president biden will be taking part in the traditional wreath laying ceremony later today at arlington national cemetery. an annual tradition for every sitting president. following yesterday's emotional visit to comfort the grief-stricken community in uvalde, texas. he met with families and first

responders as new details are emerging about the deadly shooting raising serious questions about the police response. >> these days have been so difficult talking to families. one round for this little girl likely bled out. had we had law enforcement going in there earlier this little girl might have lived. there must be accountability at every level. it is the absence of leadership to have a problem staring you in the face and do nothing. >> julie: fox team coverage with casey stiegel in uvalde and reaction from texas congressman tony gonzalez. we go to the white house. jacqui heinrich starting off this hour for us. >> good morning. president biden will be heading to arlington national cemetery shortly. he has a personal connection to memorial day. his veteran son passed away from brain cancer in 2015 which he said he believes is linked

to burn pit exposures from his office in iraq. this morning the pain of the uvalde shooting is hanging over the country. president biden addressing that this morning after he returned from his trip to grieve with those families. he addressed some criticism he hadn't done more to act unilaterally. speak to reporters asked if he feels more motivated to act on gun control right now than previously and he says he has been motivated all along and the folks who are victimized have been pushing for that kind of action. administration officials say congress needs to act, though. the president cannot enact gun control laws by himself. connecticut democrat senator chris murphy said republicans are progressing in the bipartisan bid to reach an agreement when congress reconvenes. >> my hope is that this time is different. i get it. every time after one of these mass shootings there is talks in washington and they never succeed but there are more republicans interested in talking about finding a path forward this time than i have

ever seen since sandy hook. >> not everyone shares his sense of optimism. dick durbin and cory booker said they aren't hopeful about the talks. remember back when vice president kamala harris was a senator, she said she believed that the president could take unilateral action on gun control and ban assault weapons via executive order. the president seeming to speak to that discussion here this morning at the white house when he returned from uvalde saying the constitution says he can't dictate this stuff. he can do the things he can do but not outlaw a specific weapon or change the background checks. it is going to congress to take action, julie. >> julie: jacqui heinrich, thank you very much. >> griff: as the community continues to mourn, preparations are underway for the first funerals to take place tomorrow. senior correspondent casey stiegel is live in uvalde. hi, casey. >> hi, griff.

one bright spot with the senseless tragedy we often see and talk about witnessing all of the helpers and the resources that have parachuted into this community. a community that americans didn't know the name of prior to a week ago last tuesday. chaplains, clergy, counselors, service animals even all over the country have descended on this area. as you drive around or you go into local businesses, you see signage offering free services, counseling to anyone who needs it. even creative ways to make money, raise awareness like this man who got his buddies to run 21 miles with him, a mile for each life lost. a san antonio police officer now but he grew up here and he went to robb elementary school. >> your body hurts but as you are running for me personally i think about the pain that the parents are going through and

just the way the kids were and keeps me going and pushing to think about what their pain in just keeps me going. >> griff: 48-year-old irma garcia was one of the heroic teachers was killed. two days later her husband joe suddenly died of a heart attack after returning home from the memorial honoring his wife. look at this. more than two and a half million dollars has been raised for that family. they leave behind four young children. today the first visitation services begin. funerals to follow this week. no doubt some very, very hard days ahead. griff. >> griff: hard days indeed. casey stiegel live in uvalde. thank you. joining us for more on this texas congressman tony gonzalez. his distrukt covers uvalde and met with president biden yesterday. thank you for taking time. what was your meeting like with

the president and what was said? >> good morning, griff. thank you for the coverage on memorial day. we honor our fallen warriors. i've been working with the president's office the entire week honestly on this trip and i was pleased he came down. part of that visit we did a variety of different thix. one thing stood out. during mass the archbishop called all the children in the church up and it reminded everyone that children are innocent, children is what unites us all. you have children, i have children, many of us are fathers and mothers and i think this is part of what we need to focus on as we get to the healing part. what i also asked the president for, three things in particular. one is a mental health facility. last year i appropriated $2 million, $25 million proper jefjt i asked him for help with that. law enforcement i put in request for $13 1/2 million for communication. many of these different units

whether it's border patrol, local p.d., firefighters they weren't on the same communication network. that would alleviate that. everyone would be able to hear the same thing and respond at the same time. the last thing i asked for was a new emergency operations center. we have over 200 law enforcement officers from all over the state, all over the country coming to help out. they are operating out of an old aviation museum. three things in particular that i asked for the president's help on. >> griff: did he indicate what it is he wants to do in addition to the things you asked for, did he bring up the topic of gun reform? >> you know, right when he landed, the very first conversation of the day was he goes tony, i don't want to make this political. he kept to his word on that. him and the first lady met with family members as well as first responders. so i think it was more of a fact finding mission and what i told him at the end of the day

as we wrapped it up thank you for coming but now we need to have action, right? it starts both of us, congress has a role to play. executive branch also has a role to play. >> griff: as we know the d.o.j. investigating the police response to this. one of your colleagues dan crenshaw spoke about that and here is a little bit of what he had to say. take a listen. >> you have to throw self-preservation out the window if there are hostages inside. you have to put their safety before yours. we need to know why it wasn't followed and whose call it was, why they made that call. if he doesn't have a radio my god it means he is not getting the word that children are calling 911 from inside. that's a real problem. >> right. >> griff: your reaction to the response. >> look, i'm on the ground and i know these police officers personally. i know these border patrol agents personally, the sheriffs personally.

they were responseing. imagine you are responding to a scene and a police officer and your children are in there. you'll do everything you can. imagine an ems provider and going to save a life. that's exactly what was happening. we will wait for all the facts to come out but for me on the ground talking with the first responders, to me, you know, the reason why they waited because they felt as if the situation was minimized as far as him not killing other folks. we see all these photos of the innocent people that were removed from there. they worked extremely hard to clear all those areas. last thing i will say i grew up in an abusive environment. battered women's shelter. to me school was my sanctuary. we need to make sure that schools are the sanctuary for everyone and i think that starts in congress. >> griff: that's for sure. congressman tony gonzalez thinking about you and the entire community of uvalde this

memorial day weekend. thank you for taking the time. >> julie: police in florida have arrested a 10-year-old boy and charged him with texting a threat to conduct a mass shooting. police say the suspect is a fifth grade student at patriot elementary school in cape corral, florida. the sheriff tweeted right now is not the time to act like a little delinquent. it is not funny. this child made a fake threat and now he is experiencing real consequences. meantime a terrifying scene in lincoln, nebraska overnight after two cars slammed into a group of pedestrians killing two people and injuring 19 others, the accident occurred at the a cruise event celebrating memorial day weekend when the two vehicles collided and rolled into the crowd. one of the injured is in critical condition. the other 18 sustained non-life threatening injuries. >> griff: pain at the pump like

never before as folks fill the tank to get away for the weekend and record high gas prices not the only problem travelers are facing. more on that ahead. >> julie: growing tensions between the u.s. and china. is president biden helping or hurting america's security when it comes to international relations with beijing? >> ambiguity means uncertainty but nothing strategic about the way the biden administration operates. this administration takes everything that happens and starts flailing about and drowning and they are taking america down with them. and consumes, replacing thought with worry. but one thing can calm uncertainty. an answer. uncovered through exploration, teamwork, and innovation. an answer that leads to even more answers.

mayo clinic. you know where to go.

>> griff: georgia officials say divers have recovered three more bodies from a deadly two-boat collision. five people were killed. police have so far charged one man. jonathan serrie is live in atlanta with more. >> authorities say the cause of the crash remains under investigation but they did make this one arrest. they booked 45-year-old mark christopher stiegel for allegedly boating under the influence in connection with the weekend incident. stiegel was released on bond the same day. two two boats were traveling in

opposite directions on the river when they collided saturday morning. the coast guard released video of a helicopter rescue which an injured boater swims to a basket and lifted to safety. authorities say he and three other survivors were taken to the hospital but others were less fortunate. first responders found the body of two victims shortly after the crash at the crash site. that search team found three additional bodies on sunday. the victims include a 37-year-oldier from savannah and four members of the leffler family, a coach and student at a local christian skoo. according to a statement from the head of school chris was great at building relationships with students, parents and peers, outstanding teacher, coach and friend. nate, a senior at calvary day school had a quiet demeanor and passion for athletics. he was well liked by his peers, a great brother and a loving son. saturday's incident was the second serious boating accident on the wilmington river this

month. may 5 a local businessman was killed when his boat hit an unlit channel marker. griff, back to you. >> griff: jonathan serrie live in atlanta. thank you. >> julie: tensions between the u.s. and china growing by the day. yet a new "washington post" op-ed suggests president biden's foreign policy practices are paying off. they say he has been tougher on china than president obama and smarter than president trump. let's bring in general jack keane. let me ask you what brings this author to come to the notion that president barack obama operated under the mistaken assumption and i'm quoting that china wanted to be a responsible member of the international community, president donald trump left the united states in a weaker position against china, president biden has taken a different tack, tougher than

obama's and smarter than trump's. growing evidence that this approach is paying off. is there? >> i wouldn't quite characterize it that way. first of all, i think the obama administration. president obama had a general poll receive appeasement to china much as he did for russia and there has been consequences of that policy certainly. but i think what president biden has done, he has built on the foundation that president trump established and that is for the first time any president push back on china and central to that was the economic pushback and the tariffs and then the economic agreement with china. the second thing was to strengthen the relationship with our allies. the quad, which is an unofficial alliance among japan, australia, united states and india, which was started by president bush to deal with

china and then lay dormant, president trump revised that for the obvious reasons, to confront china and to build allied support for it. and president biden has come in and strengthened that. he has had two meetings with the principals. give him credit with not only strengthening that alliances and other alliances and holding in place most of the economic policies that president trump institutionalized. listen, the president is doing some good things here when it deals with china. my problem with it is, we have eroded the united states military deterrents as a result of the 9/11 wars. we have to build our way out of it. the trump budget was a step in that direction but we need more of it. it is a serious problem, julie. because what kept the peace between the soviet union and united states was an effective military deterrence that the united states and nato established.

we don't have that today with china. and the budget that is being proposed is a declining budget because it doesn't account for 8% inflation. we have to fix this. >> julie: yeah. and you know what? once again we have to give president trump credit for this. this is something he campaigned on before taking office that he would talk tough with china. something we haven't seen former presidents do and fortunately president trump did set the stage for president biden to continue that. i want to switch gears before we run out of time here. you and i often talk about conflicts overseas and i love your advice that you give us especially considering your military background, the military operations involved and these crises that we talk about here. what is your take, what is your sentiment, what would you like to share about your memorial day reflections on today? >> first of all, it's a very

special day. we set aside a day for our veterans and we set aside another day to honor our armed forces. but this is a sacred day because we are honoring a very special group of americans, those who gave their lives so that the rest of us can enjoy ours. and it is sacred. i think it's parallel to the religious holidays that we celebrate regardless based on our faith in this country. and yes, when i think about it, it is a day that i always consider what the fallen were willing to give up. they put everything at risk in their lives, julie, to be a parent, to have friends, to live a long life and have love in their life. it was all put at risk and they did it out of a simple sense of duty for their country. it is very profound in that expression and the second reason, i believe, is they did it for one another. it represents true honor and we

can never, ever take this kind of devotion for granted. i don't believe we do in this country. i believe this country does honor its fallen and i respect that and admire it and i respect the events that take place across the swath of this country in honoring what has taken place and the sacrifice of the fallen. >> julie: so well said. general jack keane, thank you so much. >> great talking to you, julie. >> griff: powerful words from general keane there. thank you. 100 days into the war in ukraine president zelenskyy left kyiv for the first time since the invasion yesterday to visit troops in kharkiv. he surveyed ruins of buildings and homes and went to the front lines to thank his troops for their service. the trip came as russia renews heavy shelling of the eastern city. trey yingst is live in kyiv

with more. >> good morning. russian troops are making small territorial gains in eastern ukraine as leadership here in kyiv calls for more international support. those forces are now reportedly in control a city. 90% of the buildings in this town are destroyed. many civilians remain trapped sheltering underground and how the russians are advancing. level buildings with artillery and pushing ground troops forward. they took another town this week. it is considered to be a key strategic city as russian forces control more of the donbas region. ukraine president zelenskyy did head east yesterday to visit the city of kharkiv. while touring the front lines there he gave medals to ukraine soldiers and met with military leadership and discussed russian efforts to take the donbas region and said this about the war. >> russia has already lost not only the battle for kharkiv, not only the battle for kyiv and the enough of our country

the santa monica pier in california to explain. hi, christina. >> hi, julie. more than 39 million americans are still expected to travel this holiday weekend despite those record gas prices and some of them will come here to the santa monica pier and enjoy the beach. it's a very popular destination here in southern california. this leads the nation in high prices for gas with an average over $6 topping the average of 4.61 a gallon. the highest national average on record. aaa expects 3 million more people to travel this holiday weekend compared to last year. >> don't foresee oil prices really dropping all that dramatically. the global price of oil accounts for 60% of what you pay at the pump. if more people are hitting the road and you have this sort of increased demand at gas stations you could see these

let's just start with why? why are pre-school-aged children having to understand what this picture means of a woman with her arms around a pregnant husband? >> no logical reason why. nothing to do with their education. for too many teachers these days a chance to have access to pre-schoolers and kindergartners and first and second graders is a chance to indoctrinate them to make them think it is normally. a lot of people in the united states say i'm sure it is happening in the big cities and happening maybe on the east or west coast. not in my small town. that's not true. you see it happening in north carolina, in texas, arkansas, wyoming, south dakota and virginia. parents have to be really paying attention to what their kids are being taught in school. what kind of activism and weirdness is being hoisted on them. they have to be careful what

to when we want to explain all that to them. what if a parent didn't know these actual flash cards were being handed out and their children learning about and this they come home confuse as heck and we don't even know what they are being taught. >> that's the point. they don't want the kids to repeat it. how many kids come home no matter how many times their loving mother and father say what did you learn? we played. this is a time for forming people's minds. st. ignatius a famous catholic educator. if you give me a child until the age of 7 i will give them the ideas or lack of them. the basis and why family time and family dinner and education is so important. it will decide what the character's is. what they see as true or false and why they are targeting pre-schoolers and kindergartners. if they teach them their reality now it will last with them forever.

sussman when he told the f.b.i. he was delivering information about a secret communications channel between the trump organization and russia on his own. not on behalf of any clients. the clinton campaign. durham argues sussman was politically motivated meeting with his friend james baker weeks before the 2016 election. prosecutors also showed emails between sussman and reporters and say it all comes down to this text. jim, it's michael sussman. i have something time sensitive and sensitive i need to discuss. do you have availability for a short meeting tomorrow? i'm coming on my own, not on behalf of a client or company. want to help the bureau. thanks. sussman's team told jurors via a poster board despite what the government said it was not a giant political conspiracy theory. the defense accused the government of using smoke and mirrors to distract from the facts.

sussman's attorney told jurors the sunday night text message doesn't matter. it is what sussman said to baker monday at f.b.i. headquarters in person and there are no notes or recordings of that meeting. baker told different people different stories about what sussman actually said. sussman's attorneys say it was no secret he worked for the cin ton campaign and that sussman practically had the dnc tattooed on his forehead and sussman's allegations weren't taken seriously because the f.b.i. never interviewed sussman in a formal setting. the single charge form the jury will fill out when it reaches and verdict. simple in content, but in context, quite complex. court resumes after the holiday on tuesday. >> griff: for more on this let's bring in a formal federal prosecutor and partner of a law firm. talk to me, jim, about we may see when deliberations begin

tomorrow? >> well look, this case really comes down to the original jury selection and judge cooper allowed three jurors to get on this pool of 12 who had personally contributed to clinton kaes campaign. if you see deliberations going past early wednesday then john durham's team has to start worrying. they could easily get a verdict same day. it's about the text message. it removes the issue of baker's credibility to a large degree. you have it if writing saying what baker said. tear alt of the false statement is a bit of an issue but i think this case was fairly well tried and fairly strong put together. no guarantees with a d.c. jury. >> griff: to press you on it. to put on your hat here to look into the future how close do you think we are to a conviction of sussman? >> well, again, there are 12 people that know that better

than i do. the bottom line is delay is not going to be a good sign for durham. it stretches beyond wednesday you could have a pack of partisans determined to hang the case out of loyalty. sussman says as a lawyer i just went out and did it on my own. a meeting at the f.b.i. on something very important to hillary clinton but didn't bother telling my client which is borderline nonsensical. the figure to look at both this trial and the future mark elias who testified for the government and he said the same thing. boy, we never would have let sussman go out and do that if we had known. it is basically creating this protective wall for hill tree who undoubtedly was part of the conversation what it came to the f.b.i. meeting. they may succeed in isolating her and letting sussman be the

fall guy. we'll know by tuesday afternoon or wednesday. >> griff: you mentioned hillary clinton. would it likely be a conviction of hillary clinton? >> the thing that's funny about that paradigm. durham is a totally apolitical professional prosecutor. doesn't operate on political timelines or answer to political concerns during election years. i think he will not take any of this verdict as a necessary referendum on whether he can keep going forward against either hillary herself or people high up in the clinton campaign or the f.b.i. side of the equation. that was a little muddled during this trial but very much in play for durham. are the f.b.i. victims of false statements or manipulators. political partisans like strzok, page, mccabe and comey. i don't think any of them are out of the woods but i don't

think the verdict will determine what we see next from durham. >> griff: how close to a conviction of clinton. i meant indictment. whether it would lead to an indictment of clinton. in the last 30 seconds we've got what possible indictments short of clinton might be coming next, if any? >> look, that's the best thing about durham. he has been professional and quiet. we haven't had endless leaks compared to something like the mueller probe where you seemed to have an idea what was coming all the time. i think the focus might shift back towards the f.b.i. i think there is some real interesting questions about f.b.i. leadership being completely politicized and getting fisa warrants and all that stuff. we'll wait and see. >> griff: we'll be watching tomorrow. thank you for your time. a former federal prosecutor. thank you. >> julie: all right. celebrating the centennial of an american icon. today is the 100th anniversary

at the photos of those killed by the 18-year-old gunman. the crowd outside chanting for the president to do something. >> julie: that same day the justice department announced it is launching its own investigation into local law enforcement's handling of the attack. federal officials will look at why officers waited more than an hour to confront the gunman as children frantically called 911 from inside the classroom. today's "new york post" cover going after the police response and sharing a mom's chilling claim that her daughter bled to death waiting for help. bill bratton echoed the criticism. >> never seen anything like it. i have so much anger at the moment about how this mishandled it has been. to be hearing some of those lives might have been saved but the wrong decision was made by

apparently a police chief of a six-person police force puft in charge of the response of this horrendous incident. mind-boggling, frustrating. >> julie: but some are pushing back on blaming cops. texas senator john cornyn tweeted, the second guessing and finger pointing among state and local law enforcement is destructive, distracting and unfair. complex scenarios require split second decisions, easy to criticize with 20/20 hindsight. we begin with casey stiegel who is joining us live in uvalde with the very latest. >> good to see you. the d.o.j. investigation by the way was requested by the mayor of uvalde, the community here. now this critical incident review, as it is called, is underway to develop action plans, as you said but also to maintain accountability here

because police do admit that mistakes were made at robb elementary school which was visited yesterday by president biden and the first lady. instead of breaching the classroom door right away last tuesday where the gunman was hiding in a closet, those officers were told to wait for a swat team. more than 45 minutes was spent locating a set of keys, the reinforced door before a federal tactical team arrived and took over ending all of the horror getting inside and killing the suspects. anger, frustration, and grief is being felt in this community and the owner of a local flower shop that we talked to has seen and felt it all. her phone has not stopped ringing. balloons, arrangements, sympathy gifts, orders that are extra, extra personal. >> we make flowers for them when the child is born. we make flowers for their first birthday. we make flowers for their pre-k

loved ones who were killed and i think having the leader of our country come here. i've heard people say now is not the time for him to come here. people are concerned about politicizing this event and i've heard a lot of outrage from people. >> griff: the vice president with this just ahead of the president's trip. >> we know what works on this. it includes let's have an assault weapons ban. you know what an assault weapon is? it was designed for a specific purpose, to kill a lot of human beings quickly. an assault weapon is a weapon of war with no place -- no place in a civil society. >> griff: uvalde native matthew mcconaughy making a visit looking to help his hometown

community heal. the daily caller praised his efforts as all class. jason chaffetz former utah congressman joins us. jason, thank you. what do you make of this? is this injecting politics into this tragically devastated community? >> it's one of the saddest situations we've ever had in this country and look, i'm glad that president biden went. i think if he hadn't gone i think there are those of us who would have been hyper critical of him for not going. his message was a good one. i didn't see it as hyper partisan. i think the president and first lady, three the president and the first lady and they should be there and i'm glad they were there. i thought kamala harris's comments were very partisan and probably ill timed. as far as matthew mcconaughey he is legitimately from there. his mother served as a teacher at a different school in the same town.

he is one of the most famous people in our country and it looked to me like matthew mcconaughey did the right thing and my guess is the people were glad to see him there because he is actually from there. >> griff: in the last hour we talked to congressman tony gonzalez who represents the district and met with president biden. president biden said let's not make it about politics. i want to get your reaction now to really what happens once we start talking about how to make sure this never happens again. congressman mo brooks, alabama senate candidate, was talking about this and he was on the field when the shooter opened fire on the congressional baseball practice in 2017. listen. >> back when i was growing up, we didn't have these mass killings, okay? today they're much more common. what's the big difference when i was growing up and today? the big difference is the decline in the moral values, the decline in the respect for human life. if we teach proper moral values

and respect for human life and properly address mental health issues that may be associated with all these things then that is the way to fix the problem. >> griff: do you agree with that or does more need to be done than just addressing the mental health aspect? >> i think congressman brooks is absolutely right. if we don't talk about the decline of the family, about broken families, single family households, i mean, there is a commonality in some of these mass, mass tragedies and the breakdown of the family is certainly one of them. our society is dealing with some very real and big, big broad issues in terms of mental health and what not. i understand there should and there can be discussions about various laws. i wish one law that we could fix.

i don't think we're one law away from solving these types of things. i wish we could bring these kids back and wish we didn't have to do these types of stories, griff. it's what makes it so tough. >> griff: we all wish we could bring them back and those teachers. switching gears for a moment. the first courtroom test for special counsel durham's probe for the trump/russia investigation is up to the juror. michael sussman is accused to the f.b.i. investigators found no link. darrell issa with the latest on this. listen. >> to be candid with this jury it is very possible to get a hung jooury or acquittal. it doesn't mean the case hasn't been made that the american people haven't seen sworn testimony that hillary clinton knew what they were doing when they falsely accused the

president, when they paid to mislead in some way the f.b.i. it does mean that when we talk control in january as we anticipate we will, that we have to help clean house in the department of justice and the f.b.i. >> griff: deliberations begin tomorrow. what do you expect, jason? will we see a possible conviction of sussman? >> i also -- congressman issa is right. this jury pool. three of them are donors to clinton. one's daughter serves on the same sporting team as susman's daughter. i hope the jury gets it right. i think we know the truth. hillary clinton planted this story. this is not some tip. she planted this story. >> griff: just 10 seconds left. any chance or do you anticipate we could possibly see an indictment of clinton? >> i think there will be more indictments. whether or not it's hillary clinton, i don't know. john durham does and i look forward to seeing him prosecute

more. there are more that should be charged. >> griff: we'll be watching. thank you for taking time on this memorial day monday. >> julie: renewed calls for president biden to visit the southern border after his trip to uvalde, texas this weekend and critics are slamming the administration's new migrant screening policy set to take effect tomorrow. we'll talk to a former dhs advisor next.

2 million folks enter illegally last year and 1.2 million that we can identify enter the country this year? the border is not closed. they have done everything they can to make sure that's the case. it is destroying our country and it's a problem. the question is what will they do about it? >> julie: let's bring in charles marino. why would the president visit? is it safe to say? >> other than the secretary of homeland security who has no choice anybody who should care about this national security disaster will stay away, including the president, the vice president has made it apparent she wants no parts of this. we have the largest national security disaster in decades taking place and we can't even get the national security advisor jake sullivan down there or the domestic policy advisor down there, susan rice.

these are the ones pulling the strings on this program. >> julie: president biden hasn't been to the border, by the way, in more than a decade. do you think it's fair, do you think his critics are fair for calling him out for visiting uvalde but not going to the border nearby? >> i don't know if he should have immediately done it following that trip. i think that trip needed a lot of his time and attention and i think it was good for him to make that trip. but he should get down to the border absolutely. and i know the administration's fears. they don't want a photo op down there. with him down there it is plausible denyability. they'll keep processing all these high numbers of illegal immigrants. they want to keep him away from it. >> julie: a "wall street journal" piece that discusses parents' challenges with keeping their kids safe from fentanyl. an excerpt the reads.

the drug can be ordered easily on social media and delivered to your house like a pizza not only mixed with heroin and cocaine but counterfeit copies of other drugs. prescription pills that many young people are familiar with. a california mom says now i'm terrified. you think this can't happen to you but it can. and the amount of fentanyl coming across the border is soaring from 2020 to 2021, pounds seized increased a whopping 133%. so if the white house is not interested in our border and illegals crossing into our country because they haven't visited the border, how concerned are they about the rising number of youth dying because of illegal drugs passing through our borders? >> yeah, it's drugs, human trafficking. the point of a national security strategy is you are not supposed to undercut existing security policies in

the country. and this undercuts every single national security policy that has been put in place since 9/11 and add on drugs and add on human trafficking. we have the dea doing work to combat drugs and it undercuts all of that. same for human trafficking. no, the answer to the question is they don't. julie, what they are doing right now they are in this phase where they are playing the border policy shell game, right? they're attempting to deceive the american people to get them to believe that they actually care about enforcing our border, enforcing immigration laws, when in fact they don't. >> julie: all right. charles marino, thank you for joining us on this memorial day. thank you. >> griff: this memorial day weekend is shaping up to be a very expensive one between the prices of food, gas and everything in between. phil flynn will tell us if

weekends. aaa estimates 39.4 million people will travel by car up 4.6% compared to last year. despite record high gas prices. the national average for a gallon is $4.61 today. the highest on record nationally up from $3.04 a year ago. it is tough for people dealing with record high inflation. some say they've rearranged their budget to offset the cost. >> we have to spend money on the lodging, food and now consider travel. right now it's over $100 to fill up the tank. it's in the back of our heads we know how much we'll spend but, you know, we have to enjoy life and be able to travel and not let things like that stop us. >> as for those taking to the skies this weekend, flights are more pricey, too, with airline fair averaging $400 for a round-trip for domestic flights. up 24% compared to this time in 2019. in addition to higher prices, some worried if they were going

why. and you put that all together, that cost of energy goes into everything, your cheeseburgers and everything that you put on your plate today was either moved by crude or created by crude. >> griff: republican congressman byron donald is laying the blame for this inflation at the feet of president biden and his policies. watch. >> you give up oil and natural gas and go to renewable energies you need china. china is the one dominating mineral production across the globe. joe biden is selling us out to the chinese. >> griff: is it china? >> i think -- i don't know why he really came back on u.s. energy because he said it was because of the environment. but the biggest winner in all this is china. china is the biggest producer of some solar panels, one of the biggest producers of rare earth minerals. the things you'll need if you

go to this carbon economy. i heard our energy secretary saying now she has herself a volt she is running and solar panels and driving on sunshine. how about that? that's the problem. the solar panels are made in china, i bet. >> griff: you talk a little bit about green policies. the "wall street journal" had an op-ed over the weekend warning -- we can show you the sheet here, warning of america's summer of rolling black-outs. you see beneath the title green energy policies are making the nation's electric power grid increasingly unstable. in it they say there is a warning that 2/3 of the country could have the rolling black-outs this summer. is the grid secure? >> i don't think it is. we're seeing evidence from non-pafrt san places that are just following this and followed it for many years saying listen, this green energy thing isn't working. wind isn't a replacement for

natural gas. and solar isn't scalable enough to replace this. so this leaves us very vulnerable especially in extreme weather conditions. if you get real hot or cold temperatures, that's where the problems begin. we've already seen what poor energy policy has done to california, for example. we've seen what has happened in texas. get ready, the rest of the country, because it is coming your way unless we do this energy transition with a lot more intelligence and a lot less politics. >> griff: i'm not sure, phil, if they're ready. switching gears from one crisis to another, the white house announcing a second shipment of baby formula arriving from europe. the first one coming a week earlier. in spite of the deliveries the out of stock rate for formula has surged from 45% to 70%. some parents so desperate they're traveling south of the border to mexico so they can

and soul searching to do and we have to get back and fix the supply chain and we have to go back to when the economy worked. one of the ways is good energy policy. get to the bottom of that and a lot of these other problems get solved miraculously. >> griff: just the last 20 seconds or so we've got left. when you walk this out to the mid-term elections, will it be something we're hearing a lot about? >> it is, no doubt about it. food shortages, not being able to feed babies, record high gasoline prices, people seeing store shelves that are empty. this is all based upon a failure of leadership, right? people are getting hurt from an inflation price that we haven't seen in years. and people are angry and i talk to people every day that, you know, that go to the grocery store and they are looking for answers. a lot of people are like okay, we can afford it because we are making more money.

house. i'm not really sure who is more guilty of the other. how do you feel, any of you jump in at first. the gaffes and how it might affect the credibility factor in this white house both behind the president and the vice president? >> so i would love -- so i think if this was a "saturday night live" skit i think it would be hysterical but this is the president and the vice president of the united states and they are a complete and utter embarrassment. they dilute america's strength and power abroad. so they need a staff shake-up or they should start reading their speeches and making edits before they go out publicly. >> julie: maybe they are reading the speeches.

maybe they aren't reading from the teleprompter. >> julie: >> we all know president trump and president bush struggled from time to time while they gave speeches. the most important thing is actions and they're working hard to get us past the pandemic, present a front to putin and his actions in ukraine and mike easier for families across this country, that's what matters. >> julie: his 40% and harris at 39%. we know the economy, inflation, gas prices are contributing to the low numbers. but what do you think voters figure as far as those gaffes as well? do you think it's not hurting when it comes to their disapproval? >> it absolutely is because look, i completely disagree. i think the economy is not on track. we have not fully recovered

from the pandemic. people were given money by this administration. they don't want to go to work. small businesses are hurting because of staffing shortages because no one wants to go to work. families are hurting because of the cost to put food on the table. parents are hurting because they can't get baby formula. parents and everyone is hurting because they can't put gas in the car because it is coming so expensive to go to work. i think if you look at this administration and all their failures and then compounded by the gaffes and the fact that neither the president nor the vice president on this memorial day and every single day continue to put the safety of americans at risk because it is not about the country, it is not about the country first. it is about them and the democratic socialist liberal agenda. >> julie: all right. i will switch gears here. i have another topic i want to get to. the detroit tigers if you've heard kicking off june with a

special pride night. game ticket sales are giving fast a chance to support -- at least three of the groups are actively promoting transgender identification or medical transitions for children. brad, i'll start with you. what do you make of a major league baseball team using fan's donations for trans surgeries. >> i give credit to the detroit tigers for encouraging people to donate the charitables. with any charity people need to do their research before giving. no one is require to give any money here and not everyone has to give to every charity. if you don't support their work you don't have to donate to them. a lot of charities are doing very important work. it's an amazing organization. and they provide services and support that are hard to find. i give credit to the detroit

tigers for including lgbtq plus community and honoring their fan base. >> the biggest support in american, it's baseball. the biggest sport for families to go to is baseball. there are songs written about baseball. and so if the players and the coaches and the staff and the owners would like to give to their niche organizations that's fine. we should not be pulling the wool over families and asking them to give money to causes that they don't necessarily support. and so i think this is wrong. i think they should let the fans know and let the fans decide and if people don't want to go to the game that's fine and if you want to donate, okay. this is a bigger issue and an issue where sports should not be interfering because it is such a hot button issue. >> julie: of course, fans have the choice. it is not forced upon them but

they do have the choice. i want to move to something else. an attempt to show a lack of public trust for elon musk and it is backfiring big time. it comes after a twitter poll and musk himself found people, politicians way less than they do billionaires. who do you trust less? politicians or billionaires is the question. a liberal opinion writer launched his own poll asking if people trusted elon musk or alexandria ocasio-cortez more. to his surprise musk came out on top. brad, is this a backfire or a backfire? >> i certainly think it was not the intended result. not exactly breaking news that people don't trust politicians. that's a very common concept. but what he is pointing out is there is a fundamental distrust now in politicians and also in large companies. our pillars of our society trust is erodeing from the american people and it is a big

problem. we need to restore faith in american institutions and on memorial day when we take time to honor those who gave their lives it is up to us to build a stronger, better america. >> julie: let's prove how phony the right's ridiculous poll's are. they didn't quite prove that point. >> they didn't. i agree with brad about the unity part. it is a sad state of affairs that the poll says that people trust billionaires over trusting politicians but it is unfortunate for the people who need voices and want representative government. it is really sad and hopefully that changes when people go to the polls. but it is really pretty laughable that you have someone on the left who thought he was going to have egg on the face of a libertarian billionaire and instead had egg on his face instead. >> julie: brad is even laughing.

that has to tell you something, right? all right. that's all the time we have but thank you both for talking to us. jen and brad. great to see you both on this memorial day. >> thank you. >> griff: memorial day tributes back to normal after a couple of years of being scaled back due to the pandemic. that includes rolling to remember bringing bikers from around the country to our nation's capital. the executive director played a big role in making that happen and he joins us next. it's time for our memorial day sale on the sleep number 360 smart bed. it senses your movement and automatically adjusts so you both stay comfortable and can help you get almost 30 minutes more restful sleep per night. save $1,000 on the sleep number 360 special edition smart bed, queen now only $1,999. and free home delivery when you add a base. ends monday

>> julie: violent crime spiking in multiple cities as summer unofficially begins. new york city for starters newly released video shows a slashing attack just last week. in chicago more than 30 people were shot over the weekend. at least five were killed. and in chattanooga, tennessee, six people were shot saturday night. alexandria hoff is live in washington with more. >> according to the gun violence archive the most widely accepted definition of a mass shooting is an incident where four or more people were shot. there have been at least 12 mass shootings so far this holiday weekend. shootings in philadelphia has pushed the homicide rate over 200 for the year.

12 were killed due to gun violence across the city. among the injured a 4-year-old boy who shot himself in the hand. chattanooga six teenagers were shot downtown. two teens are in very critical condition. two mass shootings took place in chicago. overall about three dozen shots, five or more killed in that. sadly there is more. yesterday seven people were injushd and a 39-year-old woman killed when a gunman opened fire during a memorial day event an hour away from tulsa. 1500 people were present. buckner had turned himself in. no motive revealed. certainly no motive here in this frightening scene outs of new york city that you mentioned. a masked individual in broad daylight attacking a complete stranger with a knife. this happened on thursday.

police say the assault was completely at random without any kind of confrontation that preceded it. the 29-year-old victim is in stable condition and police are still searching for that suspect. julie. >> julie: all right. thank you very much. >> hard not to get frustrated again. as i look out in the crowd i see the same thing i always see. veterans and their families and caregivers. but where are the american people? it's veterans organizations behind me. it's veterans. it is their families. this country can't be this broken. >> griff: that's comedian jon stewart in washington yesterday reminding us today is about much more than cook-outs or hitting the beach. he spoke at the annual rolling to remember event that returned to d.c. with thousands of

bikers roaring through the nation's capital to honor p.o.w.s and service members missing in action and try to raise awareness of the issues our veterans face. thank you for taking time. what was the message that you want to bring to the nation this memorial day and rolling to remember's message? >> thank you for having me. the messages is our federal government made promises to our military, veterans and families and we're watching and we're coming together and we will continue to come together to hold our federal government accountable and demand they keep those promises and demand they have full accounting for our missing in action and we have ideas, we have ways to be able to take on this suicide crisis and what jon stewart was

talking about. toxic exposure is also a major issue and taking the live of our veterans since vietnam and very much so from afghanistan and iraq with burn pits. and this is something that we can address and there is legislation that is pending in the senate. the pact act. we spent a lot of time on that this weekend making sure the american public is aware of that so they can demand our senators support this. >> griff: i want to -- you mentioned the suicides. veterans are 52% more likely than non-veterans to commit suicide and we've been putting on the screen the veterans crisis hotline. what would you like to see done on the veterans suicide issue? a lot of americans don't realize that the hardest battle many veterans face begins when they get home. >> you're right. veterans are much more likely to die by suicide. women veterans 200% more likely to die by suicide than

non-veteran women. we believe that we need to be thinking outside the box and we need to try new things and we need to be moving our resources to the local level rather than having funds in programs designed and run by our federal government. we think those resources need to be pushed to the local level into the communities closest to the veterans themselves and to their families. >> griff: so very important, the executive director, thank you for taking time and for putting on that rolling to remember. such an important event particularly on this day. thank you, joe. julie, it has been great joining you to remember the veterans and their sacrifice. >> julie: we absolutely appreciate everyone taking the time and taking a moment to remember. that will do it on this memorial day. thanks for watching.
