worlds inexplicably came crashing down all around them when around lunchtime a gunman walked right into robb elementary school through a door that had been left propped open and killed 1 children, two teachers, injured at least 17, five people still in the hospital this morning. for those lucky enough to survive it will be a themry andd scar that will be with them and relived lifelong memories and trauma. >> i just kept hearing boom, boom, boom. it kept going off on felt like an eternity. i had one student laying on top of me and i had a bunch of other students right over here by me. and i just remember praying please, god, please, god, keep us safe. >> i heard that over and over and i still have chills and i

stand here listening to it. following president biden's trip to uvalde. he has since pledged gun reform and in doing so made this remark that has an awful lot of people talking you. >> a 9 34eu8 meter bullet blows the lung out of the body. so the idea these high caliber weapons -- simply no rational for it and, remember, it's not second amendment was never absolute. getting through each day meantime is a challenge for this community day by day. that's how you have to do it. at least four funerals, visitations and one burial on today's calendar. folks here know very tough days, weeks, months, years ahead. back to you. >> thank you, casey. >> will: steve and ainsley, the

conversation goes some different directions in the wake of a tragedy like this. steve, this will be the first chance to share some of your thoughts which i look forward to hearing this morning. people are going to turn to gun control. i will say there is a tendency of those that know the least preach the most about guns and i don't know what the president is talking about there. that clip is utterly mystifying about 9 millimeters being a high caliber weapon and blowing a lung out of a body. i don't know what he is talking about. this is why this is important. if you are ignorant on the subject, you are not serious about a solution. in the wake of uvalde, i think we should be serious about solution. >> ainsley: what is the compromise republicans don't want to touch the second amendment. right to bear arms. >> democrats like joe biden saying the second amendment was never absolute? what is the compromise. republicans and democrats are going to be meeting to try to come up with a compromise. >> steve: today meeting via zoom. and it sounds as if mitch mcconnell asked john cornyn from the great state of texas,

your home state to negotiate with the democrats. and what they're focused on is a proposal just read about it to incentivize states to establish red flag laws to prohibit individuals who are deemed dangerous to themselves or others from getting their hands on guns. also looking at legislation to expand background checks for firearms sales and transfers. ultimately what it all comes down to will any of these suggestions or changes or tweaks to the legislation that currently are on the books, would it make any difference? i mean, would it have stopped that cimed from getting those guns and do it because he bought them legally when he turned 18. don't know where he got the money. that's the going to be coming out. now, across the country, parents are thinking you know what? maybe i should pay more attention to my kids. where did that kid get the money for the tactical gear? where did he get the 1800 bucks

for the gun? >> ainsley: uvalde kid disturbing footage of him sitting up in the front seat of his friend's car holding up a clear plastic bag with dead cats. if that's not sign. we have heard that for ages if you are going to hurt an animal at a young age what will you do next? >> will: that's absolutely true. i think this is shocking and somehow become expected as well. there is clearly an issue with a copycat trend in the wake of these tragedies. so, this is the most recent example. >> steve: we have a couple of them. >> will: that's the thing struggling with where to start. a florida teenage took a picture with what appeared to be the various weapons. the caption said hey, sire, directions to a nearest school. >> ainsley: there is the picture, he is 18 years old corey anderson happened in florida, he was arrested on felony charges after he allegedly posted these pictures. the detectives did go.

they investigated and they said the weapons were not true firearms but, instead, air soft guns. >> steve: right, they were pellet guns. nonetheless, whatever would possess that 18-year-old to do it. clearly, that is. >> ainsley: the attention? >> steve: i don't know. but i mean, he is in trouble right now. he is threatening to conduct mass shooting or act of terrorism. his bond was only set at 7500 bucks. as of yesterday. he was no longer listed as he was in custody. it's unclear whether or not he has hired a lawyer. but he is in trouble. the and the sheriff in hillsborough county down in florida, chad said this. this type of threat is unacceptable. this man intentionally instilled fear into our community as a sick joke. but will be warned this is no laughing matter. we will do everything in our power to apprehend and pursue charges on those who make school based threats. this is somebody who is almost

20 years old. 18 years old. somebody who is essentially half his age. a fifth grader in lee county, down in florida. as well. >> ainsley: 10 years old. and yesterday, the police posted to their facebook page the perp walk of 10-year-old fifth grader from patriot elementary school down in cape coral. and also posted his mugshot. we are not going to show his identity. we are not going to give his name because he is a minor. but, what he did was he showed four assault rifles and he said he bought them. he told his friend to get ready for water day. which in when you have got kids water day activities at water park or something like that. what was he thinking? what was he thinking? and the lee sheriff, lee county sheriff is going to be joining us at 7:20 because he is going to explain taps zero tolerance area when it comes to our schools. he was very emphatic.

you come into one our schools with the intent to kill some student or a teacher or a staff, we will kill you first. >> ainsley: every threat is real until you prove it not. also in that same area, a woman on thursday set she was going to go to the high school graduation in that area with a bomb strapped to her chest. >> will: ainsley, you asked me when we started this conversation is there a compromise to be found. we also to steve's point what is a solution. once we get to that answer, then we get to the compromise. our problem is clearly deeper than the gun lock at these threats? what's going on with young people? i just ask this morning. anecdotally starting to add up to me, accumulate. in the past, what's it been now a week? >> ainsley: a week last tuesday. >> will: 10 credible threats across the united states of kids threatening to do something to shoot up a school. they go from massachusetts to california. they are all across the country. they are always young men.

saying inflation and the economy my number one issue which is fantastic to know because it's killing all of us when it comes to inflation. >> ainsley: i love that's his number one issue now. evidence is the reason we have inflation right now from day one. his policies against fossil fuels. shutting down the keystone pipeline, no longer energy independent, these are all these policies and is he blaming vladimir putin. gas prices starting going up the moment he took office, and we saw over the last year, year and a half, gas prices have ticked up, up, up. yes vladimir putin and inflafings ukraine have a little bit to do with it. we did see an uptick after that. we were seeing inflation, supply chain crisis before that through the roof. people lost their jobs when he shut down keystone. >> steve: he needs a boogie man. not me, that guy over there. >> will: is he blaming vladimir putin. first, on the issue ever meeting with jerome powell head of the fed. it's interesting because new op-ed at the "wall street journal" he is saying the following: i won't meddle with the fed. but i will tackle high prices

while guiding the economy's inflation to stable and steady growth. that's something he says constantly. transitioning from. >> ainsley: that word again transition. on the same day is he meeting with jerome powell, publishing an op-ed. i find it noteworthy he has a three point plan to tackle inflation. one, it's the responsibility of the fed. part of my plan number one is it's not my plan, not my job. >> ainsley: putin's faulted but also the fed's fault but they have to fix the problem. >> will: two, he says get the deficit under control and three help the rising price issues for americans across the country. >> steve: he wants to make it look like i'm not influencing the fed. this is on them. if you noticed over the last couple of months, the stock market has completely gone off the cliff. because the worry is because inflation has been out of control, that jerome powell and

the federal reserve are ratchet up interest rates so high it will completely destroy the economy. it will bring things to a grinding halt. one of the fed governors a fellow by the name of christopher waller says he is prepared to take interest rates past neutral. last month neutral was 2.5%. so, what that means is we're looking at interest rates going up at least 22 more pert. one of my kids bought a house in dallas two months ago. got it 15 seconds before the rates started going up. if they were to try buy the house now. they wouldn't couldn't with them going up people won't be able to. >> ainsley: one lady a dream to buy her condo in florida so they could retire. they kept did. they kept saying lock it in 2.5 then the interest rates went up. they hadn't locked it in.

now they are saying we can't afford this. if we don't buy it now, we lose our deposit. we can't afford to lose that then they move in and there is a regime fee increases in the condo building. and she is so stressed out. the interest rates went up. and people aren't factoring that in. it's costing thousands of extra dollars per month to have that higher interest rate they don't have. >> will: on top of dealing with gas prices, which are at new record again today. went up a penny overnight. new record gas price which we are getting used to telling you about every morning $4.62. a year ago $3.04. i found this absolutely eye opening this morning. so, gas prices are regional. that's your national average 4.62. here is what you are dealing with if you don't live in texas. look what it is in california. $6.15 a gallon. california is probably aren't up

with us yet this morning. for many on the east coast that's what he they're dealing with you are not immune to. you will see new york. there it is new york 4.77. combings in at number 10. illinois $5 a gallon. all across the country. >> ainsley: that was over memorial day weekend in everyone was traveling. look at the west coast. california taxes are so high anyway. then you have inflation then you have higher interest rates. now you have higher gas price. how do people afford it? >> steve: ainsley and will, the administration wants gas at $15 a gallon. so people drive less and save the planet because we know they have got a very. >> will: $6.15 in california. $5.44 in hawaii. they are not drilling for oil in hawaii by the way they are importing that what's california doing special to be the highest in the country? >> steve: great question. also, there is a worker shortage all across the country. york what you were doing over the weekend you were impacted by it if you were flying, in flying

around. >> ainsley: eating at restaurant. there aren't enough rampers. there aren't enough pilots. in the city of phoenix, less than half of the city's swimming pools are going to open this year. because they can't find lifeguards even though they are paying these guys an incentive of $2,500. hey, you want to be a lifeguard for the summer? 2500 bucks. they can't find people in tourist towns through cape cod they can't find people though work as the line cooks and stuff like that. because the real estate has gotten so expensive up in the cape there is no affordable housing. so there is nobody to work. so places you say i wonder why that place isn't open for lunch? it's because they can't find people. why aren't they open on the weekends? we can't find people. >> ainsley: drive down the street to new york city. it used to be packed with shop. half of them are empty now it breaks your heart. you travel all the time. did you do notice. >> will: airline price goes up. as we speak. in ofs new highs in airline

cries connected to both of those issues. >> will: seeing more delays? >> will: i don't like to talk about this knocking on would. i have been very lucky unlike one night sleep in philadelphia. >> ainsley: i remember you driving in the middle of the night. >> steve: yesterday for a change i was actually on time flying back to new york with you the week before we flew into the new york city area and we stat on the ground for 45 anyones because they did not have anybody to go like this to park the plane. >> ainsley: don't you pate that? >> 200 feet from the gate like nobody from. we waited. >> ainsley: that taxicab out there i if just need to get in his car. >> steve: if you want to work, there are jobs for you all across the country. in the meantime, this is unbelievable story. incredible video shows the moment a kansas man saves a boy with autism from drowning. >> ainsley: and that man's son is credited with spotting the #-year-old and saving his life.

>> will: todd piro joins us live with all the details. todd? >> todd: a heart-warming story out of lawrence, kansas, police are praising father-son duo hometown heroes, 4-year-old xavier fell into this poll pool. xavier has autism and is nonverbal. managed to lose sight of his mother who says that her son is drawn to the water. luckily, his neighbor maddox wester house spotted him and quickly ran to alert his father. my friends were yelling at me to go get help and i just went like oh no and ran. >> maddox quickly got his dad who quickly jumped theliked fence to rescue xavier to perform cpr. he had been under water for nearry three and a half minutes. the three were reunited at press conference praising maddox and his dad for efforts. xavier's mother also thanking them for saving her done's lifive life. >> on that day that was one of

the most heroic things we have ever witnessed. we usually get to the just in the aftermath. we don't get to witness a person that did what you did and had the tremendous outcome. >> i'm just glad that he is okay now. he is my best friend. so i don't know what i would do without him. >> todd: guys, in a week of such sad stories, nice to deliver a beautiful story for once. back to you. >> will: absolutely, todd. >> ainsley: thank goodness. that is amazing story. amazing action by that man. steve: for the kid to be under the water for three minutes. and i think i read somewhere that the man from -- who performed the cpr hadn't had a lesson for like 10 years. 15 years. it all came back to him. >> ainsley: as a mother, i can't imagine and kids are drawn to water. you take your eyes off of them for two seconds and that can happen easily. >> will: north carolina pre-school teacher being slammed

it is shocking to see always, but it's not shocking to parents that are here in wake county. >> will: representative, what was the response when you brought this up with the school district? >> >> well, it was actually an impressive response from the principal at the school. i really need to commend her for her response to this. so, i learned of this situation. and i called her immediately, and i asked her some questions. i said first, are you aware of this? number two, do you approve of this? and number three, if do you not approve of this, then what can be done about it and she was a little shocked and surprised and kind of said my school? this is happening in my school? and she immediately contacted the area superintendent. she went down and looked in these classrooms spoke to the teachers. i will get back to you with what i found out. about 90 minutes later she got back to me and said yes, i found these cards. i took possession of the cards. and engaged again her area superintendent and human resources. and i think it's just really

drives home the point. look, a lot of loving families come in all different shapes and sizes and thank goodness for that kids need loving families right now more than anything else. but i think when you are looking at a card and from a preschooler that has a mommy hugging a daddy with baby in his belly. that's just not age-appropriate material to be showing preschoolers and i'm glad that this principal and the district acted immediately. >> will: you asked three questions. you said number three, what can be done about it? i want to address that issue. because, i think what you have encountered here is not a school policy. this wasn't a curriculum approved are pa by the school or the school district. correct me if i am wrong about this. individual teacher imposing their thoughts, their ideology, really forcing it, shoe horning it into a totally separate legislative. that is something that is going to be hard to control there are teachers across this country who are doing that on that own volition. what can we do about it?

>> well, i think that's right. in this case, this was not approved curriculum. this was not a tool that that one individual teacher brought into the classroom and principal didn't know about it. and it was not approved by the district. i think this underscores a greater point that it is so important for parents to be engaged in what goes on in their child's classroom. what is being taught and how things are being taught. i think that parents are asking for more of that ability to follow this so always comes back to the home. the entire country of direction diversify both. future of both. steven, i want to give last word to you. what is it you hope to see in wake county and across this country? >> well, there has been some great parental rights bills that have been passed in other states. i know that north carolina is doing the same here. what parents really isn't transparency and they want parental rights. so parental alienation has got to stop at school board level.

the school board is the one that sets the tone. and so, if we can get some parental rights brought back into schools, i'm running for school board here in wake county because of this issue and i'm grateful for erin pare and others pushing for parental rights in north carolina, that's something that voters are going to go to the polls about this year. >> will: empower parents are and empower the family they're our kids. thank you to both of you for bringing this issue up and talking about it on "fox & friends." >> thank you for having us. >> will: president biden dismissing calls send long missiles to russia. one man says he isn't doing enough he joins us next

withdrawal. and then we just shut the door on it and there are so many -- 800,000 veterans plus their families right now, ainsley that are just feeling, you know, what was it, for? what was it all about. asking themselves really hard questions. i think right now we have really got to focus as a nation on helping our veterans and our military families and our gold stars recognize that what they did was extremely valuable. and extremely needed. and to tell those stories. >> ainsley: i know during covid you wrote this play it's called blast out but you turned it into a movie. i love what you say, you say it's about the beam who aren't the door kickers, people who are in war, shoulders, it's about the people who stayed behind. tell us about this movie and where we can k. see tnchts where i was working on it stood up pineapple. about the combat veterans and myself to complete my mid life crisis. we traveled around 16 cities around the country. performed for gold star families, pts interventions in the lobby.

control. fox news contributor lara trump joins us right now. lara, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. >> so our people at the southern border were busy, you know, the fact that they were able to, you know, stop all the drugs and they captured the sex offenders but how many got away? >> well, that's the big question, isn't it? kudos to our border patrol agents. i mean, this is truly an insurmountable task that they face every single day on the southern border. you just kind of read off a list gang members, sex offenders. 131 pounds of fentanyl. takes micrograms of fentanyl to kill an adult human. so that's a lot right there. think about how many people would have died from that. this assassination suspect. but think about, steve, like you said, the ones that they didn't catch. think about all the drugs that poured into our country. all the gang members that poured into our country because they

can't catch everyone. they are doing a job that is almost impossible on our southern border and it is because our federal government, our president is allowing people to break our laws. they are not enforcing the laws on our southern border as they should be. so they did some great work. but, you know, it's almost a deron in the bucket compared to probably what actually ultimately came in. >> steve: sure, you know, when you think about that number, 4,000 migrants stopped at the southern border that doesn't mean stopped and turned away. that means they were processed by our federal government. >> right. >> steve: that's the number of people in the town that i grew up in. in clay center, kansas, it's clay center every weekend. it's nuts. >> yeah. and you cannot have a country if you do not have a border. you mentioned those flights that rep elise stefanik is focusing on. imagine the average american finding him or herself on our

southern border in south texas and you need to get to new york. what recourse do you have? you have to buy a plane ticket, bus ticket. very expensive right now. unless, steve, us have broken our laws and you come here illegally then flown on a private plane to west chester county and given options where you want to go. guess who floats the bill for that in the american taxpayer. it is absolutely outrageous. the biden administration has no interest in addressing what is actually going on on our southern border. if you had any question whether or not they wanted to happen, this is your answer, they are welcoming people and inviting them into our country illegally. steve we're short on time but as you look at that video from here in new york state one of those flights that came n the middle of the night. i know republicans and a lot of other people would like answers like who coordinated this? did you call the airport? who, you know, did the mayor know? did the chief of police? there are so many questions and we simply have not gotten any

answers. you have 15 seconds. >> yeah. we need answers. let's take back congress. this november. let's find out who authorized this. let's get to the bottom of it the american people should not be paying for things like this to happen. it's absolutely outrageous. >> steve: it is indeed. lara, thank you for joining us on this tuesday. >> you got it, thanks, steve. >> steve: you bet. still ahead. tom cruise's top gun maverick soaring box office records. how accurate are the depictions of the pilots. hear hear from a real life top gun instructor in the next hour. fox and friends on a tuesday from new york city. ♪ ♪ than just an investor you're an owner. that means that your priorities are ours too. our interactive tools and advice can help you build a future for the ones you love.

going forward. quite honestly, this police chief for the uvalde independent school district who made this horrific call not to go in, you know, there needs to be accountability. >> ainsley: he has to live with that, too. >> will: he has to live with this horrible tragedy on his heart for the rest of his life. i do want to hear this about the clip from the president i don't know what he is talking about. i don't know why is he addressing 9 millimeters. it wasn't used in this shooting. he is totally inaccurate. seems to know nothing about the caliber of bullets the effect on a wound. look, gunshot women's suffer tragically regardless of what gun is used. and but, you know, you need to have a working knowledge, i don't know what the president is doing. is he just talking. is he just talking. and i don't know to what end. but it's irresponsible. >> ainsley: the nra, the highest guy at the nra. i don't know what his role is but he was being interviewed by jim across attachment and i watched that yesterday. and he is saying it's not my fault. it's the gunman's fault.

the gunman pulled the trigger. is he the one who did this and killed all of these children. and the police chief and that teacher, propped open the door they need to remember that, too. it's the gunman ultimately on this. i'm sure they are just losing sleep every night and have to live with that forever. it's just so tragic and these parents that know that the police officers were outside of the door for, you know, 77 minutes or 78 minutes. however long it was when their children were calling 911. then one of the girls calling 911. is being buried today. i wonder if that child could have survived if they rushed in earlier. we all have so many questions. the yuft police chief was supposed to sworn into city council today because they won that election. they have postponed it. called it off today. i'm not sure if he will actually go through with this or step down. >> steve: other thing is children may never go into that school again because apparently the feds are talking about giving uvalde enough money to tear that school down and build a new one. >> ainsley: all the media

outlets, tv stations you grew up with i used to work in san antonio. they are going black or they are just going to shut down for 21 minutes today. they are going to have a moment of silence started at noon just to honor these 21 victims. >> steve: we will keep you posted on. that was in the meantime, speaking of president biden. is he going to work with the federal reserve chair jerome powell today to discuss the current state of the economy, which is not good. >> will: meanwhile consumers continuing to gas prices over the weekend. >> ainsley: jackie linery joins jack -- jacquiheinrich joins us. >> jerome powell meeting comes with historic inflation which the fed is trying to address by raising interest rates at the highest rate since the 1980s. president biden wants everyone to know he is not ignoring this. he wrote in a "wall street journal" op-ed, quote: the global economy faces serious challenges. inflation is elevated,

exacerbated by vladimir putin's war in ukraine. energy markets are in turmoil. supply chains that haven't fully healed are causing short tax and price hikes. but his piece reiterated some of the same points we have heard before, putin and pandemic's fault. job reports show the economy is actually in a strong place. u.s. is better off economically than other major economies post pandemic and things could be made easier if congress would just pass a spending plan that would deliver clean energy, tax credits, affordable housing reduce the costs of child and elder. we have heard every single time the president talks about the economy. none of this is even close to come passed on capitol hill. in fact, the only new notable piece from his writing. the president noted in the future we will likely see fewer record-breaking job creation numbers. that's one of the things that the administration offensive points. to say and a sign of success. >> the president has put jerome powell in a box. we have excessive spending.

we have had policies that pay people not to work. we have had a war on american energy that's led to more inflation. the federal reserve is only going to be left with one option to control inflation, that's their primary role is to control inflation. they have to raise interest rates. >> today the average for a gallon of regular is 4.62 a gallon. it is much worse in some states including california 6.15 over there. hawaii is 5.44. nevada 5.30 a gallon. washington state 5.23. alaska 5.20. the list goes on. of the president is slated to have some reporters in the room this morning just for a brief moment at the top of his meeting with the new zealand prime minister. no telling if he will take any questions today though. back to you guys. >> steve: probably not. >> ainsley: i doubt it. >> steve: jacqui, the president says with the federal reserve it's hands off for me i'm not going to tell them what to do. is that so he can say hey, it's their fault, you know, first it was putin, and now it's the federal reserve, they didn't do

enough or they did too much. who he knows? >> who knows. i think it certainly allow that option. what does it feel like when the fed raids interest rates? it hurts this correction is also going to hurt even though it's going to potentially, hopefully get us to a better placements you don't want to be the one responsible for it turning the knife when it's going on. >> ainsley: first he blames vladimir putin and then he says it's really up to the fed to determine if we're going to fix this problem. so, hands off. >> steve: he needs to fix it abefore the midterms according to the people in his party. >> ainsley: thank you, jacqui. >> will: this story is incredibly eye opening. a north carolina preschool teacher teaching students. >> ainsley: preschool 3, 4, and 5. >> will: hey kids here is the difference between red and yellow, images to. will images this is steve really

quickly as you can see a pregnant man. >> steve: how do they depict the white picture in the white color? and that's it. it apparently, we know about this because a state representative was emailed something from a concerned constituent. that state rep got in contact with the school and apparently the principal said i checked with the teacher. i found the deck of cards. and that was approved -- that's part of the curriculum. it was approved. >> will: by the way, we are focusing on the pregnant man. what about the word that the word white even associated with i assume is that race? is that what that is? >> ainsley: like a white dove. >> will: white person's skin isn't the definition of the color white. this is insanity compounded upon insanity. >> ainsley: correct.

>> will: steve, you brought up north carolina state representative who brought this up to the school interviewed that representative and one onef the parents in wake county public school district. school.ley: valentine elementary >> will: this is what they had to say a little bit early. >> a lot of loving families comes in all different shapes and sizes. thank goodness for that kids need loving families right now more than anything else. i think when you are looking from a card and from a preschooler that has hes has a mommy hugging a daddy with a belly in his belly is not appropriate material. i'm glad this brains pal in the district acted immediately. >> what parents want is transparency and they want parental rights. parental alienation has got to stop at the school board level. the school board is the one that sets the tone. and so, if we can get some parental rights brought back into schools. i'm running for school board here in wake county because of this issue. and giving schools back to parents is an issue that needs

to happen. >> steve: that's right. because the north carolina general assembly is considering a bill to give parents the option to opt out of what they consider age inappropriate classroom. >> ainsley: just opt out of that school. >> will: i'm having trouble not laughing at the moment. during that clip. okay, first of all it is kind of eye opening to us the couch is white. maybe we should focus on the racism of the card. ainsley as a matter of fact so -- secondly, men can't get pregnant. >> ainsley: men can't have babies. but erin behind the camera said maybe it's a beer belly. >> steve: there you go. hadn't thought about that. maybe it's just a conversation starter. i have got a question, teacher about this pregnant man. >> will: i'm sure that conversation goes well. this is what the school had to say district is concerned to learn of the instructional resource found in a preschool classroom. initial review determined the flash cards were not tied to district's pre-k curriculum did. not compliment, enrich or extend

the curriculum and used without the principal's review, knowledge or approval. this is take away two fold. this is a teacher that was using this the pointed being, this is a problem as much from the bottom up as it is the top down. meaning it's not necessarily curriculum coming from the school district. individual teachers going this is what i'm going to teach them. the only check second points the only check we have on that is us. it's parents, it's families. knowing what our kids are taught and standing there going this is inappropriate. >> ainsley: who made those flash cards? who thought that was appropriate? i mean we all have little kids. >> steve: is there a company where you buy those? >> will: i'm sure. ainsley who is making these? >> steve: i remember our kids when they would teach in preschool the colors. it would be a piece of paper that's just that color. it's a blue piece of paper. it is -- there is nothing else with it. that depicts. >> ainsley: it can be very confusing for a myriad of

reasons. >> steve: how do we know it's a pregnant man and not a man with a beer belly. >> ainsley: going so far to the left. >> will: make one of the men man and make him pregnant that will help them learn the color white. >> ainsley: indoctrinate them at the age of 3 and then they will be used to it when they are 15. steve: when does summer school start? >> ainsley: not soon enough. hand it over to carley for headlines. when you are a mom this is what you will have to deal with. >> carley: i have a white skirt on. you are right. ains. >> will: its was able to tell that without a pregnant man on the skirt. >> carley: before the pandemic we never heard about this. parents started to see what was going on when everybody was home learning. and school boards are more important than ever before. you are right. you learned your colors, will, good job. i am wearing a white. >> will: lime green or yellow on the top. something very controversial politically to help me understand. >> carley: you think about that and meantime i will get to the

states where the average is now above $5 a gallon. and, by the way, oil went to $118 a barrel this morning. way up today. that means gas prices continue to rise in the future. now, the president's plan. outlined briefly is. he says let the fed take care of inflation. let them raise interest rates. he's not going to interfere. is he going to make things more affordable for families. that means big spending and subsidies. and he also says that he is going to let the. essentially he is going to lower the deficit. and that he thinks will lower inflation. that's not a plan that will work. simply not a plan that's going to work, period. >> when he says make things more affordable energy independent. then the gas prices wouldn't be so high. >> that's what we should be doing. if the president went out there this morning and said we are going to move heaven and earth to get more oil, more gas out of the ground this america going to

with top gun to ensure accuracy. they had cameras in the cockpit. they had cameras on the airplane. they wanted to make sure the flying scenes were as realistic as possibly get. i think that turned out very well. it's a little dialed up to 11. a lot of camaraderies and professionalism real top gun. i love the fact that the movies do a nice job showing how men and women can band together for tough missions to get it done. >> will: guy, a couple of years ago i got to go up in an f-16 with the air force. got to go on a training mission. we might have a fishing of that i texted my fighter pilot who i went up with and i said give me truth and fiction. tell me the most -- the biggest liberties as you point out? he said and i don't want to ruin anything but you don't eject at milwaukee 10. you can't take off with your wings out on a very short runway. is that accurate? there were some things in there that just simply are impossible. >> yeah. there are always going to be some things that are beyond the scope. if you ejected at milwaukee 10 .

to me, the first thing you go to is a school safety. we have to do better. secondly, the mental health issues need to be addressed. i think also the private sector companies, the platforms on social media has to do a better job of identifying violence and responding to it and alerting law enforcement. those are think semi things i think are clear. obviously it's more problematic if you want to do more in terms of on the gun side as president biden is talking about. >> apologies, by the way, is a former governor we are talking a moment ago about your job formerly with homeland security. you're the current governor running the show in arkansas. >> i'm glad you got that, i am. i am. this is my eighth year, it's been a wonderful time as governor of arkansas. >> will: on one to follow up on a couple of things what we are and are not able to do. there is clearly, unfortunately, some kind of copycat trend that follows in the wake of these

tragedies. recently a 10-year-old boy in florida who made what law enforcement teams of credit in a critical threat he has been perp walked out of the police station for everyone to see. is a moment of accountability. back to your job, as current governor of arkansas, you bring up what can social media platforms due to flag people? that is a difficult thing on when to know someone is a credible threat. this is not easy, it's a complicated issue to address. within the hands of the state in all of these situations, for example and hardening schools are putting money into school resource officers. this is directly in the hands of arkansas. >> absolutely. it's why i want to have a bipartisan group of governors working on this issue as well. we have done a lot in arkansas, our school safety commission that i put together we put in more resources and improved our counseling in our schools.

there is always vulnerabilities that you worry about and also the execution of the plans that you have. but, in terms of the private sector platforms, it is hard. you have to use technology, you have to get the information to law enforcement to evaluate it for the school threat assessment group. down in florida with a 10-year-old, that was information a student saw that got text and they alerted the school officials. that is exactly the kind of culture in the school where they take these kinds of threats seriously. mental illness seriously and they report that. to make good judgments on it and act on it. >> steve: they did act on it because as soon as the police saw it, they went and arrested the 10-year-old. they perp walked him come the put his mug shot out, his name is out. we are not naming him because he is a minor, but we had the sheriff on just about an hour ago, governor. he was talking about how it

doesn't matter why they did it, but there will be zero tolerance. he called a campaign "fake threat, real consequences" watch this. >> our policy is zero tolerance. the second we get a threat, no matter what the threat is, it's considered real until proven otherwise. we jumped on it immediately. no matter what age. of a 10-year-old, 12 year old, 18-year-old breath is a trigger, the aftermath is the same. i want people to see what's going on and i want them to know that this county, the state, this great state of florida means business. i am asking parents and guardians, i've asked them multiple times. sit your child down and explain because we know children make mistakes, but we need parents and guardians to sit down and tell them safe threat, real consequence and here we are today. we need to go back to old school. >> steve: that's right and there's also an 18-year-old in florida arrested over the weekend as well. he posted a picture and said,

hey, siri, what's the closest school? with him with guns, they were polygons but nonetheless he got arrested as well. to will's points, the copycat stuff. i don't get it. >> it does go in spurts, it seems like. that's why we need to be especially cautious right now and protective of our school environments because a deranged person, or someone who is socially unacceptable in his or her own mind, the look at fitness and say maybe it's a good idea for me as we are to not. what do we need to do in the future and that's what america wants, good response here. i think we need a lot of things on the table. >> will: the major things inflation which is a major concern for americans i believe the poll is like 75-80% of american states the number one issue. joe biden has an op-ed in "the wall street journal" where he says this is my plan for fighting inflation. he says i won't meddle with the

fed but i will tackle high prices while guiding the economy's transition to a stable and study growth. of course, we are sending today had a record high, gas prices, today we wake up higher than yesterday, $4.62. inflation is easy to get into it hard to get out of. governor, what guidance, what advice, what opinion do you have and will remove forward? if the answer is higher interest rates we are in for some long, painful months ahead. >> first of all i did read the op-ed by president biden. there is a lot of finger-pointing. is a lack of recognition of the challenge of his restrictions on our energy supplies. as being part of the problem. he talks about, really, more regulation, more taxes, and were spending being part of the solution. that has actually been on part of the problem. a large part of it. he is right, we have to tackle the supply chain, but he

disrupted it on energy. that is a reason there is more that we are paying at the pump. we need to reassure more in the supply chain at the best thing we can do. in arkansas from a u.s. steel just announced $3 billion investment building a new steel mill. we're going to be producing steel in arkansas. we have been doing it, we will be soon the number one still producing state in the nation. but that's the kind of reassuring we need to do in our manufacturing that helps us on the supply chain. but we lost 600 jobs because the president canceled the keystone pipeline. 600 jobs, and that hurts us in terms of energy production. we have to be able to supply not just our energy needs but we also need to supply enough for our allies that depend upon us and want to depend upon us against russia. >> it sounds like a lot of job creation going on in arkansas. you are uniquely suited to talk

about the next subject because you used to work in the department of homeland security. the border patrol chief tweeted this out over the weekend. he essentially said we have a three-day recap. we seized 10031 pounds of fat no, meth, 18 large groups that caught ten sex offenders, three gang members, one assassination suspect, one fugitive wanted for murder, three agents assaulted. extremely proud. of the border patrol response. you know what's going on on our southern border is extraordinary. right now. the number of people coming across. the line between us trying to keep them out, back in the day, now it seems like they are just facilitating coming into united states. >> it is. the border patrol is doing a

fantastic job under the most difficult of circumstances. i'm glad the chief talked about the pride that he has in the border patrol officers making a difference in drugs that are coming in, the smuggling, but there are couple things that are very, very important here. first of all, the cartels are controlling the border versus law enforcement. we need to go after them build cooperation reducing the influence of the cartels. we have done that before coming to mexico, i think, can step up to the plate to a greater extent than they are but we cannot yield control of our border to the cartels right now the way they are. that is important, secondly we've had mixed messages. do they come? do they not? we have to have a consistent, tough border security message, and that's not what's happening. >> will: i'm curious, governor, as the governor and some dudes worked as well in border security there is a push

to have governors like the governor of texas greg abbott, declare that the border has been invaded. and then make the constitutional argument that you are then afforded in believing article one section ten cost three. and not 100% sure on that. you have the ability as a governor of the state to enforce the law with the federal government failed to do so. that would be a response that pushed? >> i think governor abbott has a large extent jumped in and i have sent some of our national guard there to be supportive of the border security efforts of governor abbott. what is needed it can't just be the states. it's a national responsibility, but there has to be a higher level of coordination with our state counterparts. the president should call in our border state governors and say let's work together on this. whenever i was in homeland security we actually had a

cooperative effort where we paid overtime for the federal government to local law enforcement elbows. to help us. the president needs to take the leadership on that. the states can help, we are trying to help, but ultimately this is a national security issue that the federal government has to step up and own this. >> steve: all right, governor, thank you for your analysis and telling us what's going on in arkansas. >> great to be with you. >> steve: thank you. at 17 minutes after. >> good morning, certainly do. fortunately america crime crisis not flowing down a least 39 people are dead and dozens are injured after a violent memorial day weekend around the country. we are just getting new numbers out of chicago with sometimes recording 52 people were shot in the windy city, ten of them are now dead. philadelphia's weekend test done like death toll hitting 13 and

>> steve: deliberations are set to continue today and johnny depp's defamation trial against ex-wife amber heard. >> will: the actor was found doing a surprise performance with jeff beck this weekend it with a concert he put on. alexander hoff is live in washington with the latest details. alexander. >> hi, guys. in closing they asked depp to give him his life back. he says if depp wins he will continue a humiliation campaign against his ex-wife. is the jury continue, depp did venture away from the virginia court where this is playing out to perform on perform unannounced alongside british guitarist jeff beck in london. it was a departure from the highly publicized, highly polarized defamation tribal that has lasted six weeks. to seeking $50 million for an article 28 whom she described herself as "a public figure representing to make a stick

abuse." depp was not named in the article, but his teams as alluding to him as abusive was enough to cause the actor work and his personal relationships. >> it's talk about the giant lie at the heart of this case. miss herd's claim that mr. deb has been abusive monster and that she is a public figure representing domestic abuse, the story shocking, overwhelming, brittle abuse. she came into this courtroom, prepare to give the performance of her life, and she gave it. >> clearly depp has denied being abusive, his team arguing that injuries and shears off of the perpetrator valance. she has filed a counter suit for $100 million and highlighted the jury's role freedom of speech in this case. >> question to answer is does the first amendment give misheard of the right to write the words she wrote in this article? you cannot simultaneously

protect and uphold the first amendment and find in favor of johnny depp. >> now, in order for the jury to side with depp, they will have to find that she lied about the abuse and acted with malice when writing the 2018 article. steve? >> will: that's a standard for defamation because johnny depp is a public figure. you have do with actual malice he can't just be mistake. which, by the way, that he has a legitimate argument. i haven't kept up, up with the day-to-day of the trial. i don't want to say it, fun, i don't know the word, salacious? interesting. >> steve: that's a good word. but it's also interesting that out of nowhere johnny depp pops up in london performing with jeff beck, the guitarist. was interesting about about it, johnny depp has got blonde hair now. there he is under a black cap. i don't think johnny actually talked, he just played the guitar.

just heard isn't true. "new york post" columnist and fox news contributor miranda devine wrote laptop from hell anger morning to. this is a first hand account. he has property, still maintains the data and he's telling you how he came to possess hunter's information. how can they possibly convince us is not true? >> miranda: good morning, will. look, i mean they don't really need to convince you or me. what they are trying to do is convince those who haven't been told much about the story who don't read the near term's or "washington post" that really were kept in the dark for 18 months until out of the blue those publications decided to say that, yes, the emails from the laptop from the laptop was real. et cetera. so i think this is all because

the investigation, grand jury investigation in delaware into hunter biden's taxes and overseeing stealing is going to a close. it has been drawing on for some time. so now, i think hunter and his friends, this entertainment lawyer from north los angeles was very wealthy, kevin morris, hunter's friends call him hunter's new sugar brother. there wanting to get out ahead of the story before the outcome of the grand jury probe comes out. they want to try and re-spin the story. clearly, they are not looking at the content of the laptop. there's not much they can do about that. but i think they feel if they can muddy up the origin story that will discredit the entire evidence that has come out about the biden families influence peddling scheme. >> will: he told me, by the way, hunter biden's lawyer contacted him asking for the

return of this laptop. good luck, by the way. he is pretty convincing telling a story he actually experienced. i will ask about this because the jury is set to resume deliberations today in the trial of hillary clinton's lawyer, former presidential candidate. michael sussman for lying to the fbi, facing jury deliberations right now. watching this trial unfold come renter, what do you anticipate? >> miranda: look. he is convicted of lying to the fbi he faces a maximum of five years in jail but it's not really just about him. he is just the first of the trials to come out of the durham probe into the trump-russia collusion hoax. we have gleaned some really valuable insight into that dirty tricks scheme by the clinton campaign. chiefly, i think out of this trial that hillary clinton was behind it. that she sanctioned these dirty

tricks, this attempt to go to the fbi and pretend, michael sussman pretended he was just a concerned citizen concerned about national security. they had bogus opposition research the claimed donald trump was in bed with vladimir putin. now, the ramifications of that were extreme. it crippled the trump presidency, and to this day, we are saying that their national security applications for america's relationship with russia and with vladimir putin. so, you know, it is seeming like a small charge with lying to the fbi. may be a small joel term or a slap on the wrist, more likely, but it really had enormous ramifications. more to come. >> will: including having the american public in a false reality for the better part of four years. in addition to listening to that full comfort to my conversation
