consider what we've seen around the country on college campusese the kids are being treated with kid gloves.we we know those are not the gardes variety students but the progressives that will get out and end up in congress and voted for more of this stuff.f people are tired of it. whichever way you go on donald trump or joe biden, they know more of the same is nothe productive for this country.is c it is on the agenda, and it is going to matter. >> trey: paul mauro, the voice voicthat matters on law enforcet and justice system. thank you for joining us on a sunday night. >> thank you, congressman. >> trey: thank you for spending part of your sunday with us. i hope you have a great week ahead. you can find us online on godlty >> todd: destructive tornados blasting several states right now with no signs of slowing

down. powerful storms are heading for the biggest interstates with millions set to travel today. general hospital star shot and killed in los angeles by robbers. his speak is speaking out about what happened. and those who gave their lives defending our freedom. we will talk to family members of loved ones lost about what this means today. i'm todd piro, carley shimkus has the day off. president biden and former president trump honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice. biden heading to arlington cemetery. doug luzader has more. >> doug: the two leading candidates for the white house are remembering families. it is impossible to divorce

politics from this. we are one month out from the first presidential debate. president biden will visit arlington national cemetery to honor the fallen after hosting memorial day breakfast at the white house. that should wrap at noon on the east coast. former president trump appeared at nascar yesterday in north carolina and met with gold star families. both candidates recognize the role veterans can play in any election. four years ago, trump carried by 20 points according to fox news voter analysis. yesterday trump's national press secretary posted on x. on memorial day weekend, veterans and military families for trump, have endorsement from

gold star families and heroes who love our country. the trump campaign just launched a website veterans for trump. president biden wreath laying at arlington begins in six hours. >> todd: doug, thank you. former president trump spending sunday at coca-cola race and getting a warm reception from nascar fans. [cheering] >> todd: doug collins, an iraq-war veteran. thank you for joining me. huge enthusiasm gap between president biden and former president trump, that is obvious does this turn out the base on election day and before when you early vote and two, does it turn out independents and undecided

who may be on the fen? >> polling is real at this point. when you have a sitting president of the united states, there is nobody on the sidewalk, nobody watch ing the motorcade. nobody cares, he can't feel the venues and donald trump can draw thousands in the south bronx and at nascar, home-field advantage. it does. i don't want anybody that is a trump supporter to think this race is overbecause crowds are so different. the real issue is five months when early voting and election day starts. everybody has to show up. it is showing up on day of. i think the trump administration and trump campaign compared to biden is doing good job of

rallying the base and reminding them, you have to show up. >> todd: yes, trump supporters support the man. biden supporters support the administration that are running our federal it is government. get your thoughts on this, federal officials in alaska allegedly telling construction workers to not fly the american flag. senator dan sullivan saying this is isson outrage leading up to memorial day to honor those who gave their life in service while wearing our country's flag. in a statement to fox news digital, national parks service d disputed this. reports are false, no time did

an official seek to ban the american flag from the site or associated vehicle. we have to sort through the he said she said and fox has been unable to independently verify this happened. if proven true, how does this happen, doug, on such a solemn holiday like memorial day? >> doug: when burock eaucracy forgets who it works for. people are too sensitive in this country. our flag, it should never happen. it ties into something you said before we titsitions to this po. only thing you have reason in this country to be offended by is anything you want to be offended by, there are men and

women who gave their lives and we remembering them today. i'm tired of bureaucracy limiting rights, it is frustrated to most americans. you are seeing the enthusiasm gap and ideology that believe government is best, that is what you are seeing play out here. >> todd: your memorial day message, knowing people who lost their lives for our freedom? >> doug: remember today, it is because there are people who served and died, did not come home. those silence overseas knowing back home people are getting ready to guess a message that will change their lives forever has stayed with me for many years coming out of iraq. they came, saw something bigger than themselves and gave their lives, please remember those families today, that is the reason we observe memorial day

is for those who gave for us. >> todd: thank you for your time on this monday morning. nascar driver christopher bell w winning the race last night. 249 of 449 laps were completed, bell's second win of the year. he entered the race only having one top 10 finish in his last seven cup races. greatest spectacle in racing, indianapolis 500. catching the checkered flag, josef newgarden. he is the first back-to-back

>> todd: what does memorial day day mean within a company where everybody has tie to military service, like you just mentioned? >> it's a day of remembrance, we all love our barbecues and swimming pools, but we all value and are grateful for the people who served and have fought and given ultimate sacrifice for this country. it is even bigger is trying to educate kids to understand, to be grateful and understand what people have done for this country to give us rights we have and freedom we have. i tell you, our staff and our team is we have the day off, except me right now. we are grateful for what we have in this country. >> todd: we won't take much of your time, if you go to bottl

>> todd: two top hamas officials and dozens of officials dead after israeli airstrike in rafah. they targeted a compound where

the terrorist group was operating. idf says the strike killed two men responsible for two terror att attacks against israelis. hamas fired barrage of rockets from gaza setting off sirens as far as tel aviv. and act or for general helicoptr is hospital is dead. >> the actor appeared on general hospital. he was killed after confronting three men who were stealing a catalytic converter from his car. he thought his car was being towed, he confronted the men and

he was shot. his mother said they were walking to the car and johnny's car looked like it was jacked to one side, he said, man, are you trying to jack my car. he backed up and put his hands up and the person shot him. wactor's agent said high was a i talented actor and a moral example standing for hard work and tenacity and highs and lows of a challenging profession, he kept his chin up. those three suspects have yet to be found. >> todd: they wanted to bring up the downtown los angeles to have it be something people could aspire to, now i wouldn't be

caught dead there. memorial day tributes underway. thousands gathering at arlington national cemetery and today a wreath laying ceremony to honor those who made the ultimate sacr sacrifice. and new york city, intrepid museum will hold ceremony and a special wreath laying ceremony that will display a 100-foot american flag and include a fly over of navy fighter jets. remember the 13 brave service members killed in the botched afghanistan withdrawal three years ago. the mother of ryan christian,

mark smi scmitz. we have had you on the program before, on day like today, your presence is more important than ever. paula, how would you like the nation to remember ryan? >> ryan was very smart. he was very brave. he was very strong. what he believed in is our country. right now, i look forward to seeing my son at arlington today to say to him, well done. well done, son. we miss you so much. we can't wait to see you again. >> todd: mark, how would you like the nation to remember your son and how are you carrying on jared's legacy through your

nonprofit? >> jared probably died the way he would have wanted to, as a marine, not an old man, but serving his country. it did not have to go down the way it did. he died loving what he was doing. we've tried to honor my son and continue his leg acy through free freedom13.org. we are building 50 camps on over 50,000 acres with homes for veterans to go use to help p prevent and bring down that suicide number to help these guys regroup and basically reboot and reset their lives. more than welcome to bring their families, this is recreational retreat for veterans and we hope by guys utilizing our services and properties across the

country, they will learn more about jared and remember others that made the ultimate sacrifice, as well. >> todd: a beautiful mission and beautiful way to keep your son's legacy alive. mr. hoover, same question to you, how would you like the nation to remember your son? >> taiylor was a very gregariou and had an outgoing personality. his leadership style that he had was what has been quoted to us as the old guard. he was one of the og's of the marine corps before things started changing. he was the oldest of the group and his style of leadership pulled people to him, pulled his guys to him. he set his career and his legacy by example and obviously he was

at that gate, he didn't have to be, but he was. that is the kind of man he was and he died giving his all for our country. >> todd: i think something you just said is so important, he didn't have to be there. even for those drafted into many wars, not saying all, many drafted could have found a way to get out so they did not have to go to vietnam or world war ii. they decided their duty to our country was more important and gave their lives in service of our nation. when you think about that c concept, they did not have to be there, underscores how brave your children were and i use that word children and that

gives me a lump in my throat, i think of my two girls and think of losing them and no greater fear that i have. what do you think your loved one's message would be to the rest of us on this memorial day? darin hoover, i begin with you. >> i think his message would be to be with your family, family was one of taylor's big things. get together, have the barbecue, put in the process of doing so go out and learn about some of these heroes that have gone on before them. not only our kids, but heroes before them. learn about them and respect and know their stories and be able to mass those things along to fr friends, to their family that may not know. and like i said, have those

barbecues. have it be maybe a thing of silence, a moment of silence for everyone that has gone on before. >> todd: how would jared want us to enjoy, celebrate, mark today, memorial day? >> i think he would wish that the country would respect a little bit more what they actually have been given by the sacrifices of so many, the freedoms we enjoy, freedom to protest, freedom to voice your opinion and have a democracy we all live in and it has been taken advantage of by far too many. they lose sight of the reason why they are afforded freedoms they have. this is the thing these kids stood for and died for. >> todd: what would rian's message to be to all of us on this memorial day?

>> ryan got scratched off that particular mission and he pitched such a fit that has commanders allowed him to go be on that mission that he volunteered for. i can tell you that ryan would say we moved forward and he would also say we can all do just a little bit more. that was ryan. ryan was always pushing, always excelling and making himself who he was and i know he would want that for each of us. >> todd: paula, mark and darin, incredibly proud parents of ryan, jared and taylor, thank you for your time this, mo. we'll never forget the sacrifice that your sons made. we'll be right back.

endorsement. >> of course it is, he is the best. >> he is the latest to choose biden over jr.f.k. jr. thanksgiving will be awkward. you may notice memorial day barbecue is costing more. americans are spending 10% more that year compared to last year. chicken up 3% from last year, cheese up 6%, buns up 13% and pickles pushing 14% pis increase. cond condiments costing 13% more. cost of beer up 5.5% more. we won the war, you take the beer. high prices cause headaches,

strategist james carville going over his own party. >> we keep wondering why young people are not coming home to democrats and blacks are not coming home to democrats, d democratic messaging is full of [bleep], that is why and cot of living and dealing with this, don't talk about [bleep] and student loans. >> todd: when you have spittle, you are really mad. independent women's forum, he is right, isn't he? >> he is right and he's looking at polling. look at data, looks like -- continue to decline. when you add president joe biden is older, people are questioning

his mental ability to do this job, there is room for concern. what he's saying to democrats, progressive wing, stay away from israel-gaza comments and stick to kitchen-table issues. wages have gone up, they have not outpaced inflation and voters vote on what impacts them. >> todd: in recent quinnipiac poll, most urgent issue is economy at 28% and israeli had sxim and hamas war 4%. is their base so fractured they are not coming together in the next five months? >> i think it will be difficult because the base is fractured. it goes to power of social

media. you can have members of congress, female members on democratic side who are vocal and use social media and get their own personal standpoint out there. it is hard to caucus with social media. wrangling that we typically see in democrat part especially when nee nancy pelosi was head of it, does not happen these days. >> todd: hillary clinton says she lost to trump because women voters abandoned her. it's been seven and a half years. they couldn't take a risk on me, i am supposed to be perfect. trump had a long list of flaws to illustrate his imperfection

because he was a man or beverly, could it be she did not go to wisconsin? >> there is a lot of factors and i believe hillary clinton continues to lack self-reflection. her list of people she's blamed is over 40, media, vladamir putin and now adding women to the list. you did not vote for me because i wasn't perfect. they may be looking at her record saying, you were secretary of state when the tragedy happened at benghazi or she did not support women who accused her husband of sexual impropriety or she is not likeable. it is insulting to say i am owed this vote because i'm a woman. this is not going to help her and points to the fact she can't

look at herself. >> todd: beverly, thank you for getting up with us, we appreciate it. trans gender high school runner has taken home the win during the washington state championship beating next h highest competitor by a full second, that is a lot in running. riley gaines author of "swimming against the current," joins me now. runners stood up for themselves, what is your message to them? >> i could not be more proud of these girls. there is video of these girls standing on the podium and it was amazing to watch the rightful state champion announced, girls ecstatic and clapping and cheering and when the boy's name is announced and

he stands a top the podium, the are not cheering, not enthralled. these girls are not okay and two, i believe a big part in why they are not speaking out, they face risk and threats. i understand risks and threats are real, could not be more proud of those girls. >> todd: person who won this race could only mary garofalo 164th place out of 172 when competing as a boy. how can the left say biology does not matter when example after example shows it does. >> todd: they are virtue si signalling. i believe we are a nation in decline for several reasons.

we live in god less society, we are governed and led by weak-kneed bankrupt cowards. our leaders in the white house and our spiritual leaders afraid to take a stand, that is what this boils down to. we have weak leaders who have allowed this and glorified this. we are telling the boy he not only is he champion, he is brave and inspiring and what a terrible message to send to young girls, they are not worthy of calling themselves champions, being told they have to compete for second place. >> todd: we destroy kids during covid lockdown and through social media and phones which addict them. what is psyche of these girls,

high schoolers, middle and high schoolers doing this to them. what is their psyche destroying here? >> i love this question, it is something not often considered and being a colelegiate athlete and having to deal with covid in college, parallels are similar. we were told during covid, if you don't get the vaccine, you will be hurting the team, you are the leader. competing against lia thomas, you don't want to have blood on your hands, don't you want to be kind and inclusive this is emotional blackmail, gas lighting is what this is. it works. there are so few willing to stand tall, willing to be unash unapologetic when saying, i can't believe it is controversyia will to say, this

is my stance from day one, men and women are different. the whole stick there. each sex is deserving of equal opportunity privacy and safety, that's it. >> todd: thank you for fighting miss for my girls and girls across the nation. and migrants, 8000% increase in three years. florida congress greg steube tell us how much national security threat this is. first look at what is coming up on "fox and friends," lawrence jones take it away. >> lawrence: remember the life and legacy of those that paid the ultimate sacrifice. national park is taking heat for allegedly telling construction workers for not to fly abamerican flag at the park.

>> todd: new cpb data shows migrants have ernesto california since october. 8600 percent increase since fiscal year 2021. florida congressman greg steube joins me now. congressman, first, your reaction to that absolutely astounding figure? >> yeah. china is the number one national security threat to the united states. it would not be surprising that you're financials are going to look to ways to thwart your defenses. why not send 30,000 people, military aged males, operatives into the united states because they all know the entire world knows that our border is wide open. you add that onto the 20,000 that have come in since joe biden has been president. it's over 50,000 chinese communist party individuals that are in our country that i'm sure communicating with one another. on top of the 30 something thousand russians people from afghanistan. you name it. all over across the world our enemies realize our southern

border is wide open and take every advantage and exploit it. >> todd: to be clear, congressman, you do not believe that these 30,000 chinese are here simply for a better life. you think there is something else behind the scenes to them being here? >> no. absolutely not. and look at the number. 30,000 just since october. and if you look at that compared to the number in the last three years. i think it was 25,000 since joe biden took office. so they are seeing that they are able to work with the cartels in mexico to get operatives into our country. it's not a coincidence. our enemies see the failures of joe biden at the southern border. and the failures of him on national security issues. and see this as an opening to get operatives into the country. there's other nations all across the world that are doing it. there are iranians that have come into our country. people from all over the world that hate us that are coming here to do us harm. joe biden is doing absolutely nothing about it. and, in fact, is he encouraging it. he has taken 64 executive actions sings he has been president to open up the southern border for political

purses. >> todd: okay, so, congressman, what do we do about it? >> well, we're going to not be able to do anything until donald trump is elected president in november and takes office in january. he can reverse the 64 different things that joe biden has done. putter back remain in mexico. finish building the wall. do things to build up our national security. congress passed h.r. 2. our border security bill over a year ago. but chuck schumer is not going to take it up because you've seen cities and states that are run by democrats try to allow these immigrants to vote. this is a complete political motivation for them. so chuck schumer is not going to change it. is he not going to change the policies that we had in place that we passed in the house that would change all of this. he is not going to allow that to be heard in the senate. the only way to truly change this to elect a new president, donald trumps into the white house in november. >> todd: in a word it's terrifying and existential. we better wake up. leaders of south korea, china and japan set to meet for first

trilateral talk that reports emerge that we america are actively preparing for war with china. doing some war games. question to you, do we war game anything or is the fact that we are war gaming china now the fact we are anticipating some kind of conflict. we have been war gaming china invading taiwan for years. something that the chinese communist party obviously believes that taiwan belongs to them. taiwan leaders will tell you the threats there has been over like 5,000 different military sorties from the chinese communist party in the airspace the last couple of years. again, they see the weakness four white house. they saw what this president did in afghanistan. they see what's happening in ukraine. they see that we're leaving our ally israel and sending money to hamas through humanitarian aid. they see all of this. so they are looking at an opportunity to invade taiwan. they have openly talked about taiwan belongs to them. and if you talk to a town within

a knees leader and with all of these different military sorties into the airspace they are very, very concerned. >> todd: congressman, final, it is mohammed, 15 seconds. you are a veteran yourself. what does memorial day mean to you. >> let's remember memorial day is not a day of celebration. it's a day of solid remembrance to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. i will be in charlotte county today in multiple different events speaking for memorial day. it's just to remember those that we lost. we wouldn't be the country we are without the freedom and the patriotism of those that served our country. >> todd: congressman greg steube, thank you for your service and time this morning. those who are going to barbecue today or enjoy time with friends and family please remember why you're able to do so the brave young men who lost their lives. "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ >> lawrence: it's 6:00 a.m. on the east coast
