at the time it seemed so distant, some of it. it seemed so distant. first at the ballot box and every day since, the acts of seeing each other through the lens of a common humanity. which, again, when i first came here, as a young senator, didn't seem like it was realistic. it took pioneering women across all communities and parties that said enough. enough. and as well as a seat at the negotiating table, including through the northern ireland women's coalition and took a determined effort of my good friend, someone who embodies -- >> steve: you have the president of the united states live in belfast, northern ireland to mark the 25th anniversary of the good friday agreement. he spoke with the prime minister of the united kingdom a little

while ago. in 1998, the peace accord brought the sectarian trouble known as the troubles to an end in northern ireland and we just heard the president talk about when he was there in 1991, in that same spot, there has been a peace dividend ever since as the two parties grew closer rather than apart. >> brian: the world afire, lack of dexterity to visit a nation that could yews use esuaging. author of "war of the west" is here now. how is the president's visit perceived over there? >> of course, everybody is delighted about good friday peace agreement, the conflict, i grew up in it, there were deaths

and carbombs, across the united kingdom. everybody is delighted about the good friday agreement. biden and the democrats have been in a strange position on this for sometime. they have been confusing the good friday agreement with recent things including the northern ireland protocol and brexit issue and beating up the united kingdom. it shows there is a serious lack of understanding among the democrats about what the good friday agreement actually was. some of this comes badly from the mouth of joe biden and any democrat leader. we should remember the democrats have people at the very top of their party like chuck schumer, for instance, who spoke at the shen feng conference and called

for united ireland. that is like speaker in the house of commons coming to america and supporting the succession of one state in the union. >> brian: like mexico, took them back. >> frankly it would be nice if apart from platitudes, joe biden or any democrat demonstrated they had any understanding of ireland in the last 30 years and i see none. >> ainsley: the president is being criticized for saying, i want to be there and visit castles and my heritage, when you have what is going on with ukraine and china. lack of press conferences.

he hasn't had a press conference, we see him speak nothing ireland, not taking questions. >> he's it in ireland, he will not have a news conference. i own property in ireland, the world is exploding around us. you could end up in a third world war and he's in ireland and hasn't had a news conference in months. >> steve: and that is the way they want it. >> if you shout loudly at the end of a so-called -- >> ainsley: occasionally. >> jolted back to answering. ireland is happy place for the president, he loves talking about his heritage, loves talking about that. that is fine, nobody can begrudge that. there are a lot of other things going on in the world at the

moment. it is not the case if you can't walk and chew gum at the same time. you should be addressing everything. >> ainsley: and comment on what macron said. >> the interesting thing about macron's comments, france always wants to pull away from the americans. macron saying that we shouldn't be too close to the americans has in the last 24 hours caused a lot of concern, particularly in eastern and central europe. >> brian: at a time you need to know where you stand on china and ukraine. >> somebody said to me, ukrainians are getting through enough bullets a day, more than france makes in a year. if you throw your arms into the

french, they will be flirtatious, they will not be useful. >> steve: an ally you can count on through thick and thin, the west and france plan on us giving them bullets. in taiwan, the blockade exercise and whatnot and macron says, we're good with them helping in europe, whether it comes to asia, check please. >> classic french diplomacy, the french want the money and french want the money cynically and whatever the cost long-term. not surprising he's tried to make that move. macron sees himself as great statesman on the world stage, very few other people see him that way. >> brian: the german foreign minister blasted him, he got blasted by commentators inside

france at time the world is on tender hooks. we cannot understand macron's position during the challenging times, we as eu, should be united and this visit is not helpful. not only did heap not say we are part of america, he is ind indicating he took 70 businessmen and looking to china. >> china is trying to replace america across the world stage. chairman xi tried to broker a deal with the saudis and ukrainians. america and western allies rejected the appalling deals, but the point is, they are coming up with deals and big statement answers to big problems instead of saying we reject this, the good thing as far as i see to hear from the west would be what is our plan to solve this?

what is our plan in the middle east? what is our plan to stop, not just a win, but to win fast the war in ukraine. >> brian: speed matters. >> what is our plan not to drag everything out and kick down the road and make lovely reminisces about our lovely homeland. >> it is remarkable campaign he's been on. >> steve: funny how the polls always turn out that way. you have joe biden who either will have another four years in a year or just another year left on the clock for him. xi will see presidents come and go. what he's trying to do is lay the foundation for china to be not just a superpower, the superpower. >> if one thing we were able to grasp in america and the west in general, this, we think in

two-year, four-year maximum. we always deal with rivals, competitors and enemies who look in 10-year cycles at minimum. i wish we could understand that, we never do. >> brian: it is important to point out china now has a visit from lula of brazil. taiwan could attack today, we have not delivered missiles or anything and they are in place. >> not just the military in place, the deal with brazil and china done last week it circumvented the u.s. dollar. >> brian: that is ally of the friend of joe biden. >> they didn't need the dollar, that is the real aim of china in the 21st century, not to take taiwan. the real ambition is to overtake the dollar and circumvent it. follow the money. >> ainsley: douglas, thank you.

>> brian: i think that pause means i should toss to ashley. >> ainsley: or rustle yore papers more. was he distract something >> all the time, unbelievable. >> brian: unprofessional. >> ainsley: ashley, take over, he needs a pause. >> ashley: we will start with a fox news weather alert. firefighters in new jersey battling a forest fire and it is only 10% contained. 200 homes and builders in manchester township were cleared out as precaution. still no word on what sparked the flames, no one has been hurt and for the latest on the jersey wildfire head to the fox weather app or stream fox weather on any tv connected device. gop attorney eric hurley announces he is entering the race to replace senator dianne

feistein, tweeting california deserves a u.s. senator who will stand up to far left career politicians sending our nation down a dangerous path and lamb announced he will run against republican kyrsten sinema. i have been on the front line of the border crisis, we need leaders who are not politically correct to protect us. i love this story, after generations of boy only births, a michigan family welcomes first baby girl in 130 years. the parents of audrey clark joined us and said the family was in shock when they heard the news. >> we were excited and shocked in disbelief we did have a girl. they were shocked and told that story and my grandpa traced back so many years, boys, boys, boys.

we found out it was a girl, we're thrilled. >> ashley: the clark family did not think they would break the streak, the crew jumped for joy when they found the incredible news. the dad is sitting there and opens and wait, like what? >> ashley: that is cute. >> ainsley: she had to spit it out with the -- >> ashley: you take them to the bakery and say don't open the note. >> steve: gender reveal it is a girl fortune cookies. >> the doctor puts it in a sealed envelope, you don't know. >> steve: doctor talks to the baker? >> ainsley: that is what you got to do. >> steve: doctor. >> brian: do you understand what we're talking about?

>> brian: not yet, i will look through the pages, i have it somewhere. go ahead, read this, go ahead. >> ainsley: with your notebook at the white house. >> steve: that says this. >> ainsley: better late than never, president biden putting an end to the nation's covid emergency, it will not help djokovic who is still barred from coming to this summer's u.s. open. his battle to play coming up. >> steve: rnc chronna mcdaniel joins us with big news. don't say it yet, she's coming up. nicorette knows quitting smoking is freaking hard. you get advice like... just stop. go for a run. go for ten runs. run a marathon. instead, start small with nicorette, which will lead to something big.

them on one stage. you have vivek ramaswamy, haley, president trump. >> ronna: we don't know how many there will be, there could be two stages. >> brian: will you do the same thing, person with highest polling gets the middle? >> ronna: i will not say, i will work with the debate committee, but that makes sense. >> ainsley: when traditionally do they jump in? >> ronna: we have seen them in january. this is late -- asa hutchinson is in, too. >> steve: you watch joe biden, who is in belfast heading for dublin about now. when you see he still has not declared and it sounded like from the white house they will let you republicans duke it out, have chaos and have trump talk

about a bunch of stuff for months and he might get in the fall. >> ronna: i think he's getting in, he changed primary calendar, moved south carolina first. if freezing the field, it will be biden. i think he's limitting taking press conferences and answering questions and will be biden in the basement again, right? i am pleased with what we get to talk about, what is happening in republican states, fact we will tackle inflation and fentanyl, the story you just had, crime, the border. people do not feel the country is on the right track and we will have the next president on the debate stage. >> brian: will you make all candidates pledge to support the winner? >> ronna: as rnc chair and hosting rnc debate with fox. if i said i wouldn't, i would be

kicked out. why not saying support who the voters want. voters want that, they don't want us to come out and say i'm not supporting that person or this person, it is about beating joe biden and what is happening in this country right now. we want every candidate to pledge that. >> steve: we look forward to the convention in milwaukee, and the first debate with republicans on fox in milwaukee. >> brian: we don't know the date, we will soon. >> ronna: we will know the date soon, in august in milwaukee, beautiful in the midwest. >> steve: thank you for joining us. but wait, there's more. another big exclusive announcement this hour coming up from senator tim scott, gee, i wonder what he will talk about. stick around. who are you? i'm your fairy hotel mother.

>> brian: president biden wrapping up a speech in northern ireland moments ago. >> ainsley: we will soon head to -- for the rest of his trip. >> steve: peter will also travel

with him. peter. >> peter: no press conference and the press team made a point to talk about how the president takes a lot of shouted questions. this is live example to show. this is as close as we get at events like this, not really possible, it is possible to yell, but unlikely to be heard by him and it is almost impossible that we expect to hear his answer. over there somewhere in the crowd, he does have his son hunter, who is sitting in the front row and this is happening as we get new look of hunter biden white house business papers that show his business partners visited the white house 80 times and a former obama white house stenographer tells

"new york post" about a past foreign trip, joe biden committed crimes in ukraine with jake sullivan, i'm a witness to that happening. president has been consistent and says there is a wall up between official business and family business has son is doing. >> president biden: 25 years ago this week, the belfast good friday agreement was signed. it wasn't easy. i was united states senator at the time and worked closely with my good friend george mitchell and there were no guarantees it would hold. it took long, hard years of work to get to this place. >> peter: and that was the meat of the president's comments

today, not focusing on anything back home while here, he wants to mark quarter century of peace in northern ireland. back to you. >> steve: peter, you can't yell a question right now. >> peter: i could try. >> steve: i mean -- >> peter: i can hear you. >> ainsley: everyone would turn around. pe >> peter: i want to know about the documents and what allies are asking him. >> steve: and peter, top of the hour, you had one-on-one interview with john kirby, national security spokesperson and you will break news in about 30 minutes. >> peter: yes, and he we are told can talk about the documents, we'll talk to him about the documents and what they are hearing here in northern ireland. i will try to get his attention, looks like he's almost done.

yes. >> steve: go ahead. >> peter: mr. president? >> steve: peter has been doing this for years. >> steve: how about hunter? hunter is over there. >> steve: have him come over. >> peter: hunter left. they pipe music in so it is hard to hear anything he says, yep. next time, off to dublin. >> steve: hop on the bus, we'll see you there. >> ainsley: thanks, peter. >> brian: the president takes shouted questions. we keep everyone in a neighboring yard and you just yell out. >> steve: apparently i've read the transcript and have on our phones, peter talks to john kirby and get answers. >> ainsley: did he announce who was leaking this?

>> brian: monday it was i don't know. louisville police releasing body cam from monday's bank shooting spree that killed five and injured eight. >> ainsley: the gunman's family revealed he did struggle with mental health. >> steve: garrett, they released some parts of the body cam video, other parts are too tough to look at. >> nine minutes and it highlights the officers ran into gunfire risking their lives to save others. still images from surveillance video shows after the 25-year-old gunman shot his co-wo co-workers monday morning, he went to the lobby area and waited behind one-way glass to ambush officers. one officer, nickolas wilt.

then officer galloway takes the suspect out. the officers ' actions are nothing short of heroic. >> by staying in the fire and going back inside the scene, keeping themselves in danger, that is super human. >> we're hearing from those who survived the hearing, including one woman who locked herself inside the bank's vault. the gunman's parents revealing the shooter did struggle with mental health challenges. the suspect left behind a note of some kind and before the shooting contacted at least one person to tell him he was suicidal and contemplating

hurting other people. as far as officer wilt, he remains in critical, but stable condition. back to you. >> brian: guy with mental challenges somehow got a gun, how did he pass a background check? whose gun is it? we'll find out soon. >> ainsley: coming up next, senator tim scott joins us live with a can't-miss announcement on his political future. >> steve: hmm. h. .. with flonase, allergies don't have to be scary spraying flonase daily gives you long-lasting, non-drowsy relief.

said after you announced this explora tory committee. it says tim scott wants to govern from the far conservative right as a proud member of the tea party and his ectreme record proves it. scott was a fierce advocate of the maga agenda supporting national abortion bans. what is your reaction? >> tim: i'm glad they are afraid of me, wonderful concept. my life disproves their lies and that is why they are afraid when conservatives stand up to be counted i my time in the majority produced the best economy in my lifetime, in the history of our country. african american unemployment hit the lowest elf ever recorded, hispanics, lowest

ever, women, seven-year low and we did that while reducing taxes for single mothers by 70% and guess what, more money coming to the treasury because lower taxes ignite fire on our economy. there is no question that the denise boutt should be afraid of me. >> steve: you launched the exploratory committee, donald trump is leading in all polls for the most part. you wouldn't be getting in unless you thought you could beat him. what is your plan to do that? >> tim: no doubt along the path in my faith in america tour, i've heard people want a conversation about their future. i'll tell the truth, my life literally is only possible here in america. i like to call it made in

contrast between the radical left and the blueprint to ruin america and why our policies actually work. i believe psalms 129 tells us we are all uniquely and made. i believe we give voters a choice on -- so they can decide how we move forward as opposed to trying to have a conversation about how to beat a republican, better off having a conversation about beating joe biden. >> ainsley: we got march consumer index numbers, it is up .1% month over month and up 5% for the year. will they raise interest rates again? >> tim: federal reserve had a difficult choice between trying to stabilize our banking system because of svb, the silicon valley bank, or continuing to put downward pressure on the

economy to make sure inflation continues to fall. we had 10 increases since we started increases. i believe we will see another increase. it is wise and prudent to take the inflationary effect out of the economy. the single mother raising me with a 40% increase in gas prices, a 40% increase in food plus electricity, that is a crisis. single seniors on a fixed enemy, they're in a crisis. >> steve: people are hurting, you are right. >> tim: put more pressure, they are hurting, more pressure on inflation, better off the average person in this country who barely has $500 in savings account. >> brian: there is a pentagon leak, we don't know if the worst is out yet, it is jeopardizing relationships with our allies

and our enemies. what is your reaction this could be coming from outside the pentagon and did you think there was checks in place that if something appeared in january, we would get word before april? >> tim: no doubt, brian. the fact of the matter is dereliction of duty doesn't stop with the economy, global leadership caused our allies to question our commitment and our adversaries do not fear us. there is failure at the top. we have to stop focusing on dei and the other issues we're seeing in the military and focus on basic blocking and tackling, doing the job necessary to defend this nation. we need to be better prepared and have better leadership that starts at the top. >> steve: a lot of this has secret stuff, it will probably

reveal spies over there and their lives are in peril. i'm sure the cia and our intel community has gathered people up, it's a disaster, senator. >> tim: i can't imagine anything worse than having put your life on the line for the greatest country on earth and have your identify revealed. i can't imagine the turmoil in the cia and our agencies, change in leadership need to help this never happen again. we need powerful and anchored leadership at the top. >> ainsley: we heard joe biden saying he didn't -- i can't believe the words are coming out of my mouth, not ready to announce yet, but he's planning on it. do you think he will? >> tim: i think he does run, the bench of the democratic party,

>> brian: the biden administration proposing strongest emission standards for cars and trucks. >> ainsley: here are details. >> biden administration say proposed regulations will reduce co2 and get more people behind the wheel of electric vehicles. in 2022, only 6% of vehicles are electric, new rules could bring the number to 67% by 2032. the administration claims it will spark u.s. manufacturing renaissance but most ev batteries come from china. to that, the administration says we're working on it. >> we're mainly concerned about over dependence on critical areas for china and are seeking

to reduce that dependence. republicans don't take issue with ev's, but the way the administration is trying to get more people to buy them. >> i don't have a problem with electric vehicles, but the market should decide it, not the government. this administration is so webbed to this radical leftist, environmental movement, there is no stopping them. there are concerns about whether the power grid can handle electric vehicles, whether there are enough charging stations across the country and if people want to buy electric vehicles, these proposals will certainly be challenged in court. >> go to china and buy the batteries. >> thanks, grady. >> steve: when the president left the white house yesterday to go to ireland, he signed the bill that ends the covid

emergency. pictured there. >> brian: novak djokovic still cannot play tennis in the u.s., too dangerous. >> ainsley: outkick founder clay travis will explain. >> clay: this rule, if you are not a sides and have not gotten the covid shot and novak djokovic has had covid at least twice and if you are not a citizen and this impacts a lot of people, not just novak djokovic, you can't enter this country. novak djokovic showed up and played at u.s. open in 2021, was banned last year in 2022 and in theory unless biden administration's cdc rescinds this absurd rule, novak djokovic will not be able to play at the u.s. open, he's been disallowed from entering the country, him

or any noncitizen who has not gotten the covid shot. i just took my family to italy, it was amazing. i haven't gotten the covid shot, neither have my kids, we didn't have to be tested when we came back in because we are citizens. what difference does this make? >> brian: i would have made sure you got back into the country. >> clay: i appreciate it, it would have been biden administration perfection. novak djokovic could get his tennis racket on his shoulder and walk across the southern border. >> ainsley: that's a good point. . you wouldn't believe some of the things people suggested to help me sleep. nature sounds? ahh, no thanks.

my friend's white-noise idea. nope. and i'm not counting sheep. not on the... carpet. insomnia can impact both my days and my nights. so i know how important a good night's sleep is. that's why i take quviviq nightly. maybe i should tell them how it works, taye? quviviq works differently than medications you may have taken in the past. it's thought to target one of the biological causes of insomnia: overactive wake signals. and when taken every night, studies showed sleep continued to improve over time. do not take quviviq if you have narcolepsy. don't drink alcohol while taking quviviq or drive or operate heavy machinery until you feel fully alert. quviviq may cause temporary inability to move or talk or hallucinations while falling asleep or waking up. quviviq may cause sleepiness during the day. quviviq may lead to doing activities while not fully awake that you don't remember the next day, like walking, driving and making or eating food. worsening depression, including suicidal thoughts, may occur. most common side effects are headaches and sleepiness.

it's quviviq. ask your doctor if it's right for you. ♪ ♪ - psst! susan! with paycom, employees do their own payroll. - what's paycom? a magic payroll genie?
