8:00 am
to meet the world's shortest dog according to the -- she stands 3 1/2 inches tall. almost as tall as greg gutfield. she is cute. tiny thing. >> bill: she is sweet. have a great day. >> dana: "the faulkner focus", here you go. >> harris: fox news alert. the enemy among us. who leaked that huge amount of classified pentagon documents turns out to be the leader of a chat group that included teenagers, russian and ukrainian citizens. a member of that online platform where the information intel reports and documents were exposed is now speaking out. it's all unfolding as the president is on the world stage. so can you imagine what he is being asked about? we already know he won't take
8:01 am
reporters' questions. wonder what the leaders of the other countries are saying. all of those files originally appeared in a small chat app group called discord. only about 20 members total. then because they sat there for weeks and weeks, we still don't get a firm idea from the federal government exactly how long this was out there. it spread much wider. one of the members of the teenage group got his parents' permission to talk to the media reporter and said the group, the leaker was in his 20s and worked on a military base. he spoke with "washington post" on condition of anonymity. >> this channel there were classified documents being posted by a user called o.g. he was the leader of this group and he wanted us all to be sort of super soldiers to some degree, informed, fit, with god,
8:02 am
well armed, stuff like that. it would appear as if he sort of grew angry with the fact that only 1 or 2 people were paying attention to these documents he was pouring his heart out into. >> harris: in fact, he stopped writing the documents out on that chat platform and started sending pentagon intel pictures and stuff just to get more of it out there. as you heard from that young man saying that he was frustrated because he couldn't get enough information out. the group of super soldiers that he was building according to that teenager was called thug shaker central. the chat site discord says it is working with law enforcement on the investigation and the full senate will get a classified briefing next wednesday. president biden down playing the contents of the leak. sources tell fox it is bigger than edward snowden. >> are you concerned about the leak? >> it is time to go. we have to move. >> president biden: i'm not concerned about the leak -- asme
8:03 am
-- i'm concerned that it happened but nothing that is of great -- >> why wouldn't his handlers want him to finish that sentence? time to go. the president currently is in dublin visiting across the pond in the u.k. this week. this hour we're anticipating that he will speak to parliament. a dark cloud is over that visit, though, as some u.s. allies are very upset about this pentagon leak. they were caught up in it. some of those countries were named and intel was put out there and found out we were spying on them. jacque heinrich is traveling with the president. jacque. >> good morning to you. the president said the u.s. government is getting close to finding the person responsible for this leak but was careful not to reveal too much information that could jeopardize the ongoing probe. >> president biden: i can't right now. there is a full blown investigation going on, as you know, with the intelligence community and justice department
8:04 am
and they are getting close. i don't have an answer. >> that statement goes a bit beyond the mixed messaging from other administration officials on this topic so far. karine jean-pierre would not even confirm that there had been a serious breach that happened but john kirby was a lot more candid in his assessment. listen. >> we cannot speak to the validity of these document. >> the fact that you have leaks of classified information that are out in the public domain and don't belong there. >> federal investigators haven't released information on a potential suspect. the "washington post" said it was a man in miss 20s who worked on a military base sharing material with two dozen members on the chat discord. battlefield conditions in ukraine and potential trajectory
8:05 am
of north korea missiles that -- a teenager in that chat group said the original poster of these documents didn't leak that material beyond that group itself but another teen in the group did. right now the pentagon is taking steps, they say, to further restrict access to sensitive information, harris. >> harris: what else do we know about all these people in the group? they called the perpetrator the o.g. some kind of gangster trying to lead the group. the fact that there was stuff on russia and ukraine and citizens from both those countries on there. what else have we learned about who these people are? >> very little including how this material got into their hands. so far we've heard basically that a lot of different stuff goes across the desks of a lot of different people but this covered such a wide swath of different types of information. so far the only information that
8:06 am
we've heard is that they believe it likely came from outside the pentagon, the leak from outside the pentagon given the material posted online. remember, they have been careful not to speak to the validity of these documents. they don't want to go beyond what they can say. right now all they can say is there is someone out there, they have to find them. they have to figure out what else they might have and whether any of this information is authenticated or doctored in some way. >> harris: since it sat out there with nobody's eyes on it from the federal government let's hope they have a clue and tell us at some point. jacque, thank you. another classified document misstep for the biden team while he was in belfast, northern island yesterday. reports that somebody, a member of the public, found information about the president's security on the street. the secret service assured him that biden's movements were not affected but as you can imagine, the optics are not good for him.
8:07 am
the "new york post" editorial board with a blistering headline. screw ups and leaked documents are the latest of joe's blunders abroad. will cain co-host of "fox & friends" weekends. this is so embarrassing. set that aside. feelings don't matter. the facts are this is all dangerous. >> yeah. i don't think we have to set aside the embarrassment along with the danger. to your point. a couple of quick takeaways from this seemingly lack of operational security inside the united states government. number one, it appears the government says they can't monitor social media for classified documents and national security. that's an odd thing for the government to say. it gets into real privacy concerns with the constitution. the federal government hasn't shown that same level of waryness or inability when it comes to monitoring disinformation on covid or whatever it may be. we have resources directed
8:08 am
through the f.b.i. into monitoring twitter on election denial or whatever it may be. election interference and we can't get people out there to see if any classified are floating around for months? this leaked out of this discord group and floating around twitter and broken the thug shaker discourse group had broken out of the group for a month before the government knew about it. you ask a good question about who those people are. that's important. right now it doesn't look like -- it looks like they are a bunch of dudes who wanted to -- guns, god and being fit and it what the teenager said. >> self-styled. it appears to be these guys trying to be they call them an online -- i think your question is important. >> harris: i appreciate what you are saying and that these were young guys. if this one leaker was the o.g.,
8:09 am
the oldest of the group and only in miss 20s, conceivably these were young people. our enemies don't look at it the way we do. you guys got off the hook. lucky, just a bunch of teens with too much free time. they look at where is it porous? how do we get in? same thing they do at the border. that's what is doing at the border. do we want to partner with cartels and kids? maybe we can train them. less about them and more what our enemies see potentially using them to get in. all right. i want to get to this. this is a story about faith and religion that has a lot of people talking. religious nonprofits groups have disturbing concerns over christians and churches facing a growing number of incidents of hostility under the biden administration. one member of a group tells fox news that the way the president talks about christians creates a really dangerous environment
8:10 am
where people feel increasingly comfortable lashing out at churches. since the leaked roe decision attacks on churches and pro-life organizations have spiked and a rise in violence. may of last year when the story broke. you can look. nearly 70 attacks in just the first three months of this year. that's after the media coverage of roe's reversal died down. the justice department prosecuted only a handful of those pro-choice vandals. the department's bias is on full display. >> they regard churches apparently as the enemy. church going americans as akin to trifrts. the attorney general sat there and told me no, we don't no that and now we know they do target churches and have been. there has to be accountability for this. the targeting of christians and churches has got to end. >> harris: we also found out in
8:11 am
recent days, you covered this on the weekend on "fox & friends", that the f.b.i. and the d.o.j. are trying to deny that there would be any informants inside catholic churches. >> yes, is that to me, harris? here is what i would say. i think there is a war going on, harris. a war for our mind. it is an informational war. i don't know if you've seen the clip. you probably have, of elon musk being interviewed by a bbc interviewer about the rise in hate speech on twitter. here is why i reference that. that interviewer takes it at self-evident there is a rise on hate speech. musk says provide evidence. he says give me one piece of evidence. and why bring that up? you hear things like rise in violence against trans people and it is accepted at true. i'm not telling you it isn't
8:12 am
true but it should be backed up with stats and information and questions about who is committing the violence. can't be a claim that is self-evidently true. a rise in hate crime against christians that goes without the claim. no one is saying it but you have the evidence that you just pointed to and it is ignored not just in popular culture and the media but ignored by the d.o.j. now, if you have one thing that is -- we have to accept it's true without evidence and another that we have to ignore even in the face of evidence, what you have is an informational war that dictates our priorities. that is an administration saying look over here, don't look over there. here is what's important, here is what's unimportant. right now christians are unimportant. >> harris: i tell you, that informant situation is something to keep our eye on. they are not looking for anything but christians. they are looking at us inside the churches to figure out what we do and some of the wording
8:13 am
around that with the word radical. will cain, thank you very much for being in "focus" and getting us started today. >> thank you. >> harris: white house press secretary karine jean-pierre defending her boss and taking a jab at the press corps. >> the administration trying to protect the president from our questions? please answer that question. >> absolutely not. >> why is there a lack of any interaction in a formal setting to have a press conference? >> the president takes shouted questions all -- >> harris: she wasn't watching during the president's trip in the u.k. wrapping him up, let's go. kjp is normally the one cleaning up. why the white house had to quietly make a correction to her claims on paper. ♪

8:19 am
>> president biden: you see this tie i have? it was given to me by one of these guys right here. it was a hell of a rugby player, beat the hell out of the black and tans. but it was when you were at soldier field, chicago. >> harris: wait until you hear what he just said and the meaning of it. biden, our president, did exact will i what our allies in the u.k. warned him not to do. make an uncomfortable moment to watch if you are irish. it was painful. biden thought the name of an irish rugby team was the black and tan. actually it was a british
8:20 am
artillery group notorious for its brutality during the irish war of independence. he took a few questions from local children. >> president biden: any of you guys want to ask me any questions? the key to success is whenever you disagree with someone, it is okay to question their judgment whether they are right or wrong. but it is never okay to question their motives. there was a guy named jesse hell messed. he was a very conservative guy not crazy about african-americans. we always had fights. the idea that i disagreed with everything he said but -- [inaudible]. that's a long answer to a short question. >> harris: people were looking at the floor while he was
8:21 am
talking. reporters have been fuming over the lack of access for them to ask questions of the president. the white house press secretary claimed the president has taken more questions than the previous three presidents combined. >> in minutes spoken or -- >> i said questions. >> what is the metric? >> what i said. number of questions. let me finish and then we can continue. so it's more than president trump and combined or president obama and george w. bush and here you go to your question. he has answered over 320 questions. >> harris: i can't imagine what they were doing in the white house. somebody's job was to clean it up. it's not true. it is a lie. the white house quietly changed the official transcript. it hit my inbox. i couldn't believe it. it was supposed to say not questions but question and answer sessions.
8:22 am
i've been a journalist for more than a quarter century. you have news conferences, gaggles, sit downs, exclusives. i don't know about the question and answer sessions. when it comes to actual news conferences, president biden far, far is behind clinton, george w. bush, obama and trump. at the same time in their terms. look at those numbers. he is dwarfed by those other men. power panel now, charlie hurt, washington times opinion editor and richard fowler, both fox news contributors. great to see you. charlie, what is this? >> oh, man, it seems like every day the guy finds new ways to embarras us. the thing with karine jean-pierre that is so interesting, this is something she studied for. somebody helped her prepare for this question and she came out and completely got it catastrophically wrong. so wrong the white house had to
8:23 am
correct it. if this white house goes back to correct something it had to be really wrong. they get all kinds of things wrong all the time and never correct it. as far as his performance overseas, it really is getting to the point -- i didn't think we could be more embarrassed than six months or a year ago. he keeps finding new ways to embarras us and what's amazing about it is joe biden is the world's greatest foreign policy expert washington has ever produced and yet he is an absolute disaster every time he goes overseas. the world is watching and the world is -- i would argue that all of the things that we see going on in the world today are a reaction of very bad people, enemies and even allies looking at this scene right here and making determinations based off this guy. >> harris: i worry about something else, richard. that people see us as not having a lot of options in america. we have a lot of wonderful
8:24 am
people on both sides of the aisle. there are a lot of people who could do his job better than he could do it. heck, both of you could. he is where he is in life and in his years but some of this is really more than embarrassing. richard. >> look, i think we have known from the beginning of time that joe biden makes gaffes. nothing knew here. i think it is worth pointing out we can focus on the gaffes or focus on his foreign policy successes. let's be clear we haven't seen nato expand in decades until joe biden became president. >> harris: let me step in for a minute and i will let you take it back. hold on one second. nato expanding happened primarily because putin went in and invaded a neighbor. something that nobody had done. >> we're saying joe biden had nothing to do with nato expanding and keeping nato together.
8:25 am
>> harris: read about it. a lot of information how people want to jump into nato like finland and others. and >> you would find during the trump administration nato almost fell apart. when joe biden came in joe biden brought nato back to the table and nato is expanding. >> harris: because somebody invaded a neighbor next to poland. >> also diplomacy that happened during that period. allies talked to allies that weren't members of nato and said you should join. the water is warm. >> harris: charlie, your last quick word. >> if you talk to the members of naivety owe they will tell you because of donald trump nato is stronger. the only ridge reason nato is in the situation it is in today is under joe biden like joe biden's vice president russia decided to go outside its borders and expand and invade another country and all of that can be laid at the feet of joe biden.
8:26 am
>> harris: okay. big backlash over the biden administration's unprecedented emissions restrictions and electric vehicle push. we carried some of it live as the epa made a big announcement. a potential for massive strain on our electrical grids canned people are worried. experts in energy over power reliability. "wall street journal" editorial board how it affects our freedoms wrote the auto industry is nominally still privately owned but it is slowly become a defact owe state directed utility. the meaning of the epas new vehicle emission standards that will force feed the production of electric vehicles whether or not consumers want them. biden's epa administration is doing pr yesterday after some criticism had come out after the announcement. let's watch. >> absolutely no punishment, sarah. listen, we are thinking out for the future. this proposed technology
8:27 am
standard for automobiles doesn't kick in until model year 2027 and beyond. >> harris: let's not get confused about this. this is a mandate. and charlie, i remember at the beginning of a lockdown people were fined, 1,005,000 in new york city and across the country if you broke a lockdown. this is a mandate. he wants a promise there won't be a penalty. do you believe it? >> it's amazing. the catastrophic consequences that could happen from a mandate like this is -- it's why i would argue you never let these people be in charge of anything that is actually serious. if you destroy the american power grid, you are going to -- it will cost people actual lives. the other side of all this that is so amazing is the same people who talk about democracy all the time, they don't seem to have any problem whatsoever about the rise of an administrative state
8:28 am
that takes all of these rules and mandates out of the hands of voters. the rise of the administrative state is called something else, the idea that congress voted elected members of congress are not the ones in charge of setting up these rules and protecting people is absolutely staggering. >> harris: i have a feeling richard will jump in here. go ahead. >> objectively we should have more environmentally sound cars and totalitarianism and insane to make that jump and you know it. >> it affects people's lives intimately. as an administrative state like this does and congress doesn't have a choice and voters don't stère a voice. >> harris: it is -- >> allow me to finish. i love a good wall street editorial board like everybody else. let's be clear what the epa is
8:29 am
doing. encouraging americans to buy electric vehicles. already we're seeing an uptick in purchases. >> harris: let me hit you there. let my hit you there. 6% of americans right now own e.v.s. you are thinking maybe 11 or 12% over the next few years would be interested the buying a new one. average cost over $64,000. if that's your idea of a gripping spike in people who are interested in them. the evidence isn't there for you. science isn't there how we will put enough electricity out via our grid. i will bring you back. good talk. thank you. the interim police chief in louisville, kentucky has been praising her police officers who ran toward the bullets without a second thought. >> these officers unflinchingly answered the call to protect and their duty to serve. they confronted acts of violence
8:30 am
head on and neutralized the threat. tragically lives were lost but countless lives were saved. >> harris: the calm and loving presence in a storm right there the way she talked about her officers. police are now releasing as well frantic 911 calls of the scene there louisville interim police department chief jacquelin is in "focus" next.

>> harris: police in louisville, kentucky have released the 911 calls from this week's deadly bank shooting. one of the calls came in from the gunman's mother but he was already inside the bank. >> my son might be -- he has a gun heading toward the old national in main street louisville. >> main street old national? >> yes, i am his mother. i don't know what to do.anyone.
8:36 am
he is a really good kid. >> he was headed to the old national bank. did he say what he would do there? >> i don't no. i don't know anything. we don't own guns. >> we have had calls from other people. i don't need you to go to the location at this time. it is dangerous there. >> harris: more desperate calls for help were coming from bank employees hiding and watching the gunman fire at will. >> you have an active shooter on the site. >> i just watched it. >> you watched it. >> i am in a closet hiding. >> just stay on the line with me. is that shots fired? >> yes, it is. >> stay quiet and stay where you are at, okay? do you know what kind of injuries there are? >> i don't know. i just saw a lot of blood. >> we do have multiple people calling now. can you stay on the line with me
8:37 am
a moment, please? >> yes. [crying] . >> she was trying to stay quiet. it's hard when you are so scared. police video give us that firsthand look at the chaotic moments when the heroic police officers raced into danger and they ran toward the bullets. a warning, these images could be disturbing. >> he is down. get the officer. >> harris: that video from the body camera of officer corey galloway is what gives us that audio and that close-up look. he and nicklaus wilt were first to arrive.
8:38 am
officer wilt was critically injured after one of the gunman's bullets hit him in the head. louisville interim police chief joins me now and it is so wonderful to have you in focus. first of all, my prayers and all of our hearts are just thinking of you and your city and your police department. you have been a pillar of strength as we watch you nationally. first of all, just tell me about that moment with galloway and wilt and what their training was getting them to do in those moments. >> first off, thank you for having me here. what you saw in the video, you saw two officers who knew that lives were in danger and they reached deep down within their training and knew exactly what they needed to do, to stop the hurt, stop the threat, stop the violence from occurring and more
8:39 am
additional lives being lost. their bravery and strength for staying to fight in order to save others is what they are being taught. when they swore in to protect and serve that's what was what was demonstrated on april 10th. that's what you saw. >> harris: officer wilt i know in the first news conference you said this made me cry. he had only been on the job four times, i believe, because he had just been sworn in a couple weeks before. what kind of man at 26 that he could be so present in the moment. how proud were you when he was sworn in and your hopes for him and we pray he will be okay. >> the pride that i have for the whole class and for wilt is just evident in the graduation video. just to see how eager and excited and happy he was to do
8:40 am
exactly what he wanted to do, to be a police officer. and for me to have the honor -- i say the honor and privilege to swear these brave men and women in just gives me the energy in order to keep on doing what i need to do as their chief. one of the heart wrenching moments that i had is when i went to the hospital to see his mother on that day on april 10th and she is sitting there in the waiting room waiting to hear what was going on with her child and she looked up at me when i walked in and said chief, you just swore him in. and i looked at her and i said yes ma'am, i did. he is doing and did what he wanted to do. she said yes. and then we embraced. that is the moment you know that we are doing the good work and the courage that was displayed.
8:41 am
everyone should just actually echo it across the nation that is the kind of officer that we want to be police officers throughout. >> harris: i want to share with the audience something i came across. i sort of suspected it because you are the calm in the storm. you are are or daneed pastor. how does your faith inform what you have to say to your city and will continue to have to say to your city and your officers. >> my faith in my god drives me. it is the platform in which i stand on. prayer, i know the strength of praying. i prayed on the scene. i pray throughout this entire situation. one of my prayers is the prayer of solomon of wisdom. as i lead this department and continue to protect and serve this city i'm always asking god for wisdom in the decisions that i make. how i am directing my men and women to go about their day-to-day jobs and so with
8:42 am
that, i have the strength and god's grace in what you are seeing to allow me to do the good work and to continue on nod for me to say a prayer for the family. i know that prayer changes things and i am hoping that my god is actually hearing me. that is what you are seeing. i stand here today as the interim police chief only by the grace of god. >> harris: amen. again we pray for those who survived with injuries, all of them outside of the department as well and i thank you so very much for taking us inside the life as leader in policing today but also giving us an idea what it really means to have that hunger and thirst to protect. thank you very much, chief. good to see you. >> thank you so much. >> harris: god bless. the house democratic leader is facing some heat. an op-ed says about hakeem jeffries. it wrote in college about black
8:43 am
conservatives, what he wrote in college. calling out a double standard asking where is the outrage from democrats? bud light hearing it over going woke. >> this is a cynical game designed to blow woke smoke to deflect accountability for the failures of these businesses. >> harris: new numbers showing how much cash anheiser-busch has lost over its controversial transgender partnership. tammy bruce in "focus" next. tri-zone. in my ozempic® tri-zone, i lowered my a1c, cv risk, and lost some weight. in studies, the majority of people reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. ozempic® lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death in adults also with known heart disease. and you may lose weight. adults lost up to 14 pounds. ozempic® isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. don't share needles or pens, or reuse needles.

>> harris: this fox news alert breaking news. san francisco police have made an arrest in the shocking murder of tech executive bob lee according to our local fox affiliate in san francisco. our jeff paul is reporting. jeff. >> fox affiliate in the bay area has contacted bob lee's ex wife and confirmed to them an arrest has been made. we have also reached out to the san francisco police department to confirm this report that first appeared in the mission local. apparently the killer according to them works in tech and is a man lee was familiar with. they were apparently in a car together, a car that is said to be registered to the suspect according to this report.
8:49 am
it also indicates they arrested the man in the bay area. lee was killed last week. investigators say they were called out to san francisco's waterfront at 2:30 a.m. last tuesday and they found lee who had been stabbed multiple times. medics tried to save him but lee later died at the hospital. surveillance footage shows lee struggling and holding his shirt up trying to get help. the video showed him collapsing. his father, rick lee who wrote on facebook last week he lost his best friend a few minutes ago reposted a link to that mission local story regarding the arrest. but didn't add any words to that post. >> harris: thank you very much for the latest on that. republicans are outraged, an op-ed by hakeem jeffries written when he with as in college has bubbled up. jeffries tore into black conservatives writing, quote, a

recent trend in the black political arena which i believe threatens to sustain the oppression of the black masses, the rise of the black conservative. jeffries targeting figures like justice clarence thomas, secretary colin powell and author shelby steele calling them house negroes. he also is defending anti semitic nation of islam leader fair ferrakohn and city college fired his uncle over comments about people of the jewish faith. jeffries' office says he disagrees with his uncle's views. byron donalds with this. >> i want to see where democrats go with this. where is the media, where is cnn and msnbc. will they ask him day after day after day and let him give out his comment through his staff, by the way, and then let them

move on to the next subject? if this was kevin mccarthy it would be never ending saga why is that person leading parties in america? >> harris: tammy bruce, fox news contributor host of get tammy bruce on fox nation. hakeem jeffries, is this a problem? >> i don't think so. he is in his position because of the democrat party's need to pander to the far left. so look, we all change, right? this is from college but he has not changed. this really does resonate with the kind of rhetoric we've been hearing throughout the democratic party. they pretend and hide it but the fact is that even if the other media doesn't cover it, the american people don't like this. we don't like the extremes on either end. we know there will be disagreements but this is part and parcel of -- especially the messaging to black americans or any group of americans that the

left has taken control of whether gays, women or black the threat of black conserve sieves is the threat that they are individuals. that they think for themselves. that they are individual people and the democrats have relied on group think and on not being able to get out of that dynamic. that individualism and self-respect is the threat to the far left. >> harris: i like what you started with you are young, you can change, he hasn't. how do we know he hasn't? we know that because as a leader then a few years ago in the house he had the choice not to call former president donald trump a name that was so offensive across the country. he called him a grand wizard of the kkk. he called a sitting president that. >> he may be less obvious or tone deaf and now it is just his staff saying never mind. he expects to be protected by the legacy media.
8:53 am
the fact is that many of us do change. but some do not and so he thinks he can get through this and he is representing the democrat party as it is now. democrats across this country have to decide if this is what they stand for and i think most would say it's not. >> harris: new details about anheiser-busch's controversial decision to team up with transgender activist dylan mulvaney. sources saying the daily wire no one at a senior level was aware of the partnership calling it a mistake. the beer giant is paying the price. their value dropped $5 billion since the ad line launched. presidential candidate vivek ramaswamy out with a new op-ed. for a drink that was once a blue collar staple of middle america this isn't a winning sales strategy. it is a way for the ceo to signal his virtue while alienating a customer base too afraid to say so out loud.

>> there are some leftist groups that go try to affect corporations with rankings about how woke you are or about how much you are invested in social justice and all of that. if you don't do as they suggest, your ranking will go down. for some companies, that ranking -- it shouldn't matter at all -- but it matters to them. it is a symbol of look, for all of our leftist friends or democratic friends you can trust us. the problem with that it moves through group think. you forget about your consumer. you are selling a product to all americans. this is not about even transgenderism. this is about americans being tired of being lectured at, about watching our culture being manipulated through a framework to push us. we want to watch a game, drink a beer. american sensibility is we're all americans first. relate to everyone. every american is our friend and

people are proud of and should be. this is more about a lecture in a sense. there are other arguments about who we should be hiring and what this means. but the fact is it's like disney, they should have thought about it and they made a mistake. americans speak with their pocket books. >> harris: true, the market can and will decide. that's a note for the federal government. tammy bruce, great to have you. thank you for watching "the faulkner focus." "outnumbered" next. around the veterans. when i think of the veteran out there that he needs to refi his home, he may want to purchase and we can help them and provide that financial solution for them and their families. it's a great, rewarding feeling. everybody in the company, they have that deference and that respect and that love for the veteran that makes this company so unique. i'd like to take a moment to address my fellow veterans because i know so many of you have served our country honorably.

one of the benefits that we as a country give you as a veteran is your eligibility for a va loan, which let■s you buy a home with no down payment. now, there's no reason to rent when you can own. helping veterans buy homes. that's newday usa.
