>> deadly tornadoes devastating america's heartland over the weekend. tragedy striking families across the south with reports of 19 dead in multiple states from texas to kentucky. welcome to fox news live this memorial day. i'm rich edson. >> julie: i'm julie banderas. one town north of dallas picking up the pieces after damage there. the twisters hit saturday night flattening the valley view community. governor abbott assessed the storm yesterday. >> we know at least seven have lost their lives. another at least about 100 people have been injured. this has been a harrowing week with lives lost, property reduced to rubble. the hopes and dreams of texas families, small businesses have literally been crushed by storm after storm.

>> showers and thunderstorms spreading east today less than 48 hours after hitting valley view. >> julie: it's where we find max gordon reporting live for us this morning. hey, max. >> behind me is a shell station where dozens of people took shelter. everyone made it out alive. not everyone in valley view was so lucky. seven people confirmed dead. around 100 people injured. among the dead a 2-year-old and 5-year-old. this tornado hit this community late on saturday night. the tornado tore through an rv parked and destroyed more than 200 homes and damaged 120 others. addressing reporters governor abbott pledged his support for storm victims and now in the after math of the tornado everyday texans came to each other as aid. >> i'm proud of america at our state for coming together at times like these and urge everybody across our state take

a moment in time tonight to say a prayer for everybody who is in harm's way. they need your prayers. they need your support. god willing, we will help them rebuild their lives as quickly as possible. >> between friday and sunday there were 38 confirmed tornadoes that touched down across ten states. the death toll from these tornadoes has been climbing. along with the seven dead in north texas, two people died after a tornado hit northeastern oklahoma, eight storm related deaths in arkansas and two people died in kentucky due to the storms. the storm sunday morning caused a delay of the indy 500 as well after lightning was deelected in the area. fans had to leave the stands. fans returned a few hours later and the race eventually got under way. power outrages are a big issue. currently in kentucky 200,000

customers are in the dark right now. this is especially tough for tornado victims cleaning up. now without a.c. amid sweltering heat across the heartland. >> julie: scan the qr code on the screen to download and stream fox weather for round the clock updates. >> america is the strongest when we lead not only by our example, our power but the power of our example. you can clap for that. >> well, in the last year i've been indicted by the government on 91 different things, so if i wasn't a libertarian before, i sure as hell am a libertarian now. [cheers and applause] unlike joe biden, i don't throw people in jail for disagreeing with me. i don't do that. >> no holiday break in the race for the white house. president biden giving the

commencement address at west point and former president trump reached out the republican base looking for support from a libertarian convention after he rallied supporters in deep blue new york city. let's bring in our panel. david carlucci new york state senator and jennifer nasser a gop chair and republican strategist and hope of a podcast. david, i want to start with you. the former president in the bronx doing a campaign rally? what's going on there? he lost new york state by more than 22 points back in 2020. down to nine now. what's going on? >> yeah, look, i appreciate the former president coming to the bronx and trying to court the vote. but look, he didn't say anything that really appeals to winning over a new demographic. there is a fine line between politicking and pandering and this demonstration in the bronx

particularly the libertarian convention, was just a pandering scene like no other. promising to commute the sentence of a drug dealer where as just a year ago he was saying the death penalty should be for all drug dealers. the flip-flopping, the pandering is just incredible. he is talking about likes to say crooked joe biden with no context or no real meaning behind it. and yet joe biden has delivered for new york state. i was in the senate, i know. donald trump turned his back on us. refusing to fund infrastructure projects. eliminating the salt deductions that you can take on your property taxes. really hurting middle class families and everyone when he turned his back and not allowed infrastructure funding. joe biden has delivered. joe biden as entertaining? no. donald trump is great at entertaining and the rally in the bronx, that's all it was. either go to a concert, go to

the baseball game or watch donald trump make fun of people. >> when you look at the rally in the bronx and what happened in the poll numbers, the president's poll numbers in new york, does donald trump have an opening there or is the only reason he was there because he is in trial in new york and just wanted to make a scene of it? >> no, no, i do love how david spins campaigning as pandering. that's exactly what campaigning is. you are supposed to get out there and supposed to talk to the crowd. you are supposed to promise things. that is exactly what campaigning is all about. is being out there and talking to the crowds and telling them what you want them to know and conveying your message. donald trump is a showman, yes, absolutely. he is a reality tv sensation and here is what donald trump is doing. he is taking his message on the road trying to win every single vote which again is exactly what you are supposed to do to win an

election. joe biden, when he goes out and speaks, it feels as though he is giving a speech at a funeral. it feels as though he is the one whose funeral it is. there is no energy, there is no excitement. and people are not paying attention to joe biden. people are paying attention to donald trump. at the end of the day, i think the thing that trump is doing and what we see in the bronx is that he is engaging different voters. he is engaging minority voters that historically not vote for republicans. but joe biden and his administration is such a disaster for the country and so what we see is the middle class is being hurt by joe biden and his policies. when migrants were coming over the border illegally and moving into these communities in our blue states, we see how it is hurting our communities that need to help the most. jobs, inflation, we go on and on, gas prices being up 53%. those are actually all impactful when it comes to an election.

donald trump is saying you were better off with me than you are under the current guy. >> okay, jennifer and david, thank you for joining us. much appreciated. thank you. >> julie: as we honor our fallen today, we bring you the story of one world war ii hiller. american sailor killed in perfectly harbor in 1941 laid to rest at arlington earlier this month. remains identified more than 80 years after the attack. chief national correspondent jennifer griffin live at the pentagon with how it all came together. what a remarkable story, jennifer. >> for decades hundreds of american sailors killed at pearl harbor were unadent filed and buried in a few coffins in a cemetery near honolulu. 350 service members who died on

the oklahoma have been individually identified by the pow shrieks mia agencies using dna analysis. finally some closure to a family. 80 years later. a 21 gun salute at arlington national cemetery earlier this month. frank of three rivers, massachusetts, was just 20 years old on december 7th, 1941, when his ship, the ship he was stationed on in pearl harbor, u.s.s. oklahoma, was bombed by japanese war planes. >> what i feel is incredible sense of relief. he is home. we brought him home. >> for years frank's family clung to the letter written by his older brother after the attack telling him to be in touch and informing him he had become an uncle.

frank's niece was inspired by stories of her uncle and joined the u.s. navy. >> the importance of him being here is that he will not be forgotten. anybody can see where he is and he is with his shipmates. and that gives me goosebumps. he is with the people who meant the most to him while he served. >> her sister, francis, was named for her uncle and attended the ceremony at arlington. >> this is 82 years later and the government and everyone still paying honor to those who fought and realizing that they really did give up a life. >> the defense pow/mia accounting agency is working to identify the remains of those lost on the u.s.s. oklahoma, one of seven u.s. navy ships that sank during the attack. 61 caskets and 41 graves had to be disinterned from the cemetery in honolulu.

a single casket contained the partial remains of 100 sailors. >> we identified 362 of the missing service members from the oklahoma, which is 92% we were able to provide answers to so many family members, and that's really rewarding and can be a little bit emotional to be able to see this part of the project where men are being returned home or to other national cemeteries for burial. >> for frank's family, a burial at arlington national cemetery, the nation east most sacred burial ground, comes 82 years after their beloved uncle was lost in the pearl harbor attack. >> hitting the grind stone with no relief in sight. why many americans simply can't afford a vacation. plus remembering our fallen

heroes this memorial day. how towns across america are paying tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. you know, when i take the bike out like this,

all my stresses just melt away. i hear that. this bad boy can fix anything. yep, tough day at work, nice cruise will sort you right out. when i'm riding, i'm not even thinking about my painful cavity. well, you shouldn't ignore that. and every time i get stressed about having to pay my bills, i just hop on the bike, man. oh, come on, man, you got to pay your bills. you don't have to worry about anything when you're protected by america's number-one motorcycle insurer. well, you definitely do. those things aren't related, so... ah, yee! oh, that is a vibrating pain.

>> julie: as summer rolls in, travel -- as summer rolls in, travel troubles tag along and this weekend nasty weather in the heartland is upending lots of plans. thousands of flights have been delayed or canceled. tsa data showing nearly 3 million people went through airport checkpoints on friday. that beats the record set last thanksgiving weekend. so as they always say, pack your patience, america. ♪ and everytime i hear 21 guns, i know they've brought another

hero home. >> rich: memorial day means so much more than barbecues on the beach as we honor our heroes. the town of cornelius, north carolina north of charlotte is where we find madison. >> hello, rich. already tons of events, celebrations and memorials to honor all of those who lost their lives in combat this memorial day weekend. not too far from where we are now just outside of where we are charlotte motor speedway put on its iconic coca-cola 600 race. we were there yesterday and the track goes all out to honor soldiers for memorial day today. 200 gold star family members there, air show before the race with blackhawk helicopters, a c-17 plane flyover and a moment of silence in the middle of the race. over in arlington, virginia, rolling to remember, a

motorcycle ride with hundreds of bikers. they are riding to demand full accounting for america's prisoners of war and raise awareness for mental health in veterans. in trenton, new jersey a ceremony to honor ten african-american civil war veterans at locust hill cemetery. the oldest remaining segregated cemetery in the city. we're seeing these types of events from coast to coast. people really taking the time to focus on honoring fallen soldiers this holiday. >> i love memorial day because i have a lot of memories, you know. just for being an american, it's a lot we've been through and to be here and just america is all about memories and that's why we have memorial day. >> of course, there are hundreds of even more memorials and celebrations across the country throughout the day. we'll monitor all of that and bring that to you live.

back to you guys. >> rich: madison live for us in north carolina. thank you. >> julie: the kickoff to summer. prices are rising faster than temperatures. according to fox news polling look at this. majority of americans are putting vacations on the back burner this year with 73% crediting financial struggles for the reason they are staying home. here to break this all down freedom works economist, advisor to the trump campaign steve moore joins me now. always great to see you. i wish you had better news. today, though, was a record-hitting day as far as people traveling, is that correct? >> great to be with you and happy memorial day. people are financially stressed out, julie. we see that in so many areas. now we're seeing it with the summer travel plans. people simply can't afford it. look at what has happened to airline tickets. look at what has happened to the gas price.

look what has happened to eating out at a restaurant or fast food. my goodness, you remember when they used to have the dollar meal at the fast food restaurants, mcdonalds now the other day my son and i went through a mcdonalds for two big mac meals, $26. people are feeling the impact of these higher prices, no doubt about it. what i call an affordability crisis. unfortunately a lot of people will have to cancel their summer vacation plans just because they cannot afford it. >> julie: on average people are making thousands of dollars less. a couple thousand dollars at least for the average american in salaries but food and gas prices are still going up. a lot of communities who may not have the money to go to fine dining are ending up at fast food restaurants where they typically remember the dollar menu? whatever happened to that? thatth is super sized fast food prices. medium french fries.

maybe people shouldn't eat fries. if you eat fries, almost $5 for a medium fry? back in 2019, it was $1.79. big mac meal $12.69. chip -- these prices are astronomical and why the biden camp doesn't see this as being a big problem. when trump had his latest rally he talked about lowering taxes for everyone. that's all that anybody wants to hear. with taxes and inflation and overspending, americans are really hurting. >> so i want to connect the dots for people. everyone knows they are feeling financially stressed out and feeling the impact of the prices. i want to make sure people understand this did not happen by accident. it is a result -- this is a

simple economics lesson. my hero was milton friedman, who was very fameous for saying there is no such thing as a free lunch. biden came into office spent three to 4 trillion we didn't have. how did he pay for it? printed the money. flooded the economy with cheap dollars and that's the reason, folks. every time you go to the gas pump and the grocery store and every time you pay your rent or utility bill you are essentially -- you use the word tax. you are right. it is like a tax on the american consumer. when biden says i haven't raised taxes on anybody making less than $4 hundred thousand. this is causing everyone hardship and it is just like a tax. >> julie: fingers crossed that people get through this summer. >> rich: hamas terrorists hitting the heartland of israel again targeting civilians. we're live in tel aviv next. >> we don't have the hostages

out and cease-fire is because hamas won't agree to one. we need more pressure on hamas, not less.

>> rich: customs and border protection catching more sign chinese national. agents have encountered more than 30,000 chinese illegal migrants since the fiscal year began october 31st. >> julie: that strike came after hamas fired rockets into israel toward tel aviv for the first time in months. trey yengst has been following this for us and he joins us now live in tel aviv with the very latest. >> good morning. yesterday we saw long range rockets fired from gaza toward

central israel followed by horrific scenes out of gaza's southern most city of rafah overnight. the screams of palestinian civilians pierced the air of rafah with nothing but buckets of water, bystanders tried to put out the fire. it is hell on earth. >> we went into the house and did not find anyone. when we checked over the wall and found a girl and a young man who had been cut into pieces. israeli military says they launched air strikes targeting two senior hamas militants both killed in the strikes overnight. idf acknowledged reports about civilian casualties and are reviewing the incident. sunday's bombardment after the international court of justice ordered israel to halt military operations in rafah. a move israel rejected citing the more than 120 hostages still being held by hamas and continued rocket fire from the

gaza strip. yesterday hamas targeted central israel with a barrage of long-range rockets. this morning the e.u. foreign policy chief called the situation a dilemma. >> israel continues an action that has been asked to stopped and hamas is launching rockets to israel. both sides need to respect the rules of war. >> sunday's strikes come as indirect negotiations led by qatar are set to resume this week between israel and hamas. julie. >> julie: trey yengst, live in tel aviv. >> rich: for more let's bring in arkansas congressman french hill on the house foreign affairs and intelligence committees. thank you for joining us this morning. i want to get to what some of the reaction here about the dilemma faced for both sides. pressure for israel to stop the offensive in rafah but rockets

continue to be fired into israel. where does that leave the idf right now? >> rich, good memorial day morning to you as we pay tribute to those who wore the uniform and paid the ultimate price and salute our gold star families. look, this is an intractable situation. let's go back to first principles. this is due to hamas on october 7th invading israel in a surprise attack backed by the iranians, the largest state sponsor of terror in the world, in a premeditated attack to accomplish their goal of wiping israel off the face of the earth. so first, israel has a right to defend itself. secondly israel and the united states, qataris and egyptians are all cooperating to try to get as much humanitarian assistance into gaza as is humanly possible and move the gazans out of the targeted areas back to safer zones.

>> rich: the criticism would be that israel continues to operate in an area that is very densely populated, that has areas of civilians that have been evacuateed to. does that increase the calls or does that give any more behind perhaps a change in offensive here or a change in strategy here that the biden administration has been calling for? >> there is nothing more difficult or challenging than urban warfare in every circumstance. there will always be incredible collateral damage particularly when hamas uses civilian infrastructure as their shields. they have a deep, insidious expanse of tunnels, they have the command and control and leadership to launch a rocket

attack on tel aviv in recent days. tough going but i believe the united states should continue to work with israel to end their self-defense against this terror group that is an enemy to the united states and our interests. >> rich: house speaker johnson says netanyahu will be speaking to the house of representatives soon. do you have any more information when it could happen and there are democrats saying this is a divisive move? what do you say to that? >> speaker johnson has invited the prime minister to the house. he has discussed this with majority leader schumer. i think it would be important to have our allied government represented by prime minister netanyahu address a joint session of congress. i think it is important we consult face-to-face on this unprecedented attack. the last attack of this extensive nature on israel was 50 years ago and israel has a right to defend itself and america should come up with the ways and means and the best way

possible to help israel defend itself. four out of five americans support the united states backing its friend and ally israel. >> rich: tlaib had this to say in detroit. president biden says what is happening in gaza is not a genocide. where is your red line, president biden? this is not even consistent with his own views on international law in the past where he would sit there and said that russian president vladimir putin must be held accountable at the international criminal court. what do you make of drawing lines between putin and what israel is doing? >> preposterous. israel was attacked by a terror organization, hamas, backed by the largest state sponsor of serratore in the world, iran. and they unleashed attacks on american troops in positions around the gulf region and on the north of syria through their proxies hezbollah. lebanon in syria north of

israel, i should say. there is no comparison. putin invaded ukraine, hamas invaded israel. that's the way to think about it. >> rich: congressman french hill. thank you for joining us this memorial day. much appreciated. >> thanks, rich. >> julie: america's crime crisis claiming the life of one actor, best known for his role on general hospital. johnny wactor's final act of heroism before being gunned down. senseless crimes may be why soft on crime strict attorneys are on the chopping block in liberal cities. >> i'm alex hogan from the london bureau wishing you a very happy memorial day. i have family members who served in the u.s. military and someone who covers war it makes memorial day feel even more important as a time to think of and honor those who fought for their country and then never come home.

>> julie: we're learning more this morning about the tragic death of general hospital star johnny wactor trying to protect his female co-star when he was shot and killed in downtown l.a. saturday morning. the two were walking toward his car just as three men were allegedly trying to steal it. one of them shot him and then took off. wactor appeared in nearly 200

episodes of the show. he was just 37 years old. >> and honestly, it has been like a war zone. >> rich: chicago gang violence taking no holiday break this weekend turning deadly. at least 31 people have been shot. five killed just since friday evening. garrett tenney is live in chicago with more. hi, garrett. >> memorial day weekend is often when we see violent crime start to pick up in chicago and we're seeing it this year once again. we have had more than three dozen shootings over the holiday weekend with at least eight people killed including a 5-year-old girl. police say she was sitting in a car around 3:30 in the morning sunday when a group of people standing outside and gunshots started flying. a 24-year-old man who police believe was the baby's father was also shot. but he is expected to survive. this was on the city's near west side where neighbors say there

has been a lot of gang conflicts happening for a while now and they would like to see police do more to stop it. >> it could have been a lot better. they could have pat rolled it a little more. >> going into the holiday weekend mayor johnson laid out the summer safety plan that focuses on investing in the city's most violent neighborhoods with teen intervention programs, summer jobs and play areas in those communities. but police say they are planning to have an expanded presence across the city as well. >> i will not rest in my administration will not rest and everyone up here will not rest until we tackle this problem and stop the violence. i want to be clear that we will continue to patrol and protect neighborhoods. we will use overtime and day off cancellation to make sure we are sufficiently staffed but we will be judicious in how we use it. >> having the supposed success

of his strategy by pointing to the steep drop in murders and shootings so far this year. it is important to remember those decreases are coming from some of the worst violent crime numbers chicago has seen in decades. there will be a lot of pressure on the mayor and the city to get and keep crime numbers down this summer given that there will be a huge spotlight on chicago in august when the democratic national convention comes to town, rich. >> rich: sure is, garrett, thank you. >> julie: so speaking of crime, progressive district attorneys used to feel right at home on the west coast. no more. portland, oregon's far left d.a. mike schmitt the latest to get the boot after one term. he lost his bid for re-election to nathan vasquez in that deep blue area. ted williams, former d.c. homicide detectives joins us now. long overdue the district

attorneys get the boot. the repeat rate of crime is due to the fact that these guys or women go to jail, get right back out and they reoffend. what more needs to be done? >> you know, julie, you are absolutely right. these progressive d.a.s from san francisco to portland, oregon, america is speaking to politicians and they are telling them that they want to feel safe in their communities. and what they are also telling them is that they don't feel safe in their communities. all they have to do, america, is to get up on any given day, look at a television screen, and see that violence is still out there. so what america is sending a signal to politicians is, you need to get this crime under control. that's the message, julie.

>> julie: there are a lot of liberal cities that are obviously fighting crime more than red towns and l.a. is a perfect example of the story we just talked about johnny wactor who was killed by some thugs trying to steal his car. he thought his car was being towed and when he asked if they were towing his cars and they were wearing masks he understood he was being robbed. he didn't do anything. he put his hands up and they shot him in cold blood. george gascon, the district attorney, is fighting for re-election in los angeles that these guys have blood on their hands and they have caused this. >> what is necessary and what it will take are citizens and an uprising by citizens letting these district attorneys know if you want to be reelected, you

will have to do something about crime. we saw that, as you said most recently in portland, oregon. the d.a. there was turned away. san francisco, the d.a. there was recalled. crime is out of control and we see it and we need something done about it. >> julie: "politico" has the headline that says why progressive d.a.s are losing the grip on the west coast. the shift comes as major cities have to varying degrees struggled with similar issues, sprawling homeless tent encampments, surging fentanyl deaths and concerns about brazen theft. if you don't see this as a problem, and when you look at this problem, you automatically think to yourself law enforcement. is law enforcement getting the proper backing in order to do their jobs and prevent these people from walking on the street and not being frisked and searched as you know here in new york city. if somebody seems suspicious and could potentially look like he is carrying a weapon, until he

pulls it out and uses it cops can't do nothing about it. these laws need to change in order to deter future criminals from committing heinous acts and murder. >> you are absolutely right. i have to tell you, when you look at the fact that police departments are under funded and that there is a certain kind of unfortunate disrespect in the various communities, you know that this is one of the reasons and the rationales why crime is out of control. so deaf niftily -- definitely helped police officers in their various communities. >> julie: every memorial day we share together you have a touching sentiment you would like to share with our viewers, if you could do that for us. >> veterans day today, we honor

our men and women, our heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice, giving their lives in service of this great country. you know, julie, i served in vietnam and two of my childhood friends, leroy and james, they left houston, texas to serve and protect this country and they never made it back home again. i want to just take this opportunity to ask americans, when you are enjoying your picnics and your outings, just turn around and raise your hand, raise your right hand to your forehead and salute all of the veterans who have made the ultimate sacrifice for this country. >> julie: ted, thank you so much for that and i think you touched the heart string of pretty much everyone watching now and i have chills all over. thank you so much for sharing that. it was really sweet. thank you, great to see you.

>> rich: generation z is making bigger 401k gains than millennials. people born between 1997 and 2012 are making bigger 401k gains. to break it down an adviseor, mitch. good to see you this morning. what do you make of that? >> i think that the lead was buried not by you but by fidelity who issued the story, which is i think the best news here is that gen z is saving for their retirement. there has been so much said about this generation and the fact that they are actually pro-actively putting away in their 20s money they may not need until their 60s or 70s is a good thing. the reason why their gains are greater than millennials, most copies have 401k base have funds

meaning the younger you are when those invests and the gross stocks in the portfolios did better than the ones in the millennial's portfolios. young people saving for retirement makes me happy. >> rich: do you think it has to do with millennials getting their jobs as the great recession took off? on the flip side of that, the stock market gains that we've seen since 2010 have been pretty intense. >> yeah, that's probably if you just look at the gen z are people who entered the workforce in the last two or three years. they got in to those 401k plans just as the stock market was taking off so they got a better -- they rode a bigger wave than perhaps their older cousins or friends in millennial population. >> rich: they'll probably need it if you look at the social security trust fund running out

in 2035 and getting $0.83 on the dollar. how much should people plan on saving for retirement? >> the numbers are staggering but you literally need to save and when i say save meaning the money you put away plus how much it grows and appreciates over time one to 2 million to fund your retirement. the problem is that my generation, many folks worked for companies that had pension plans and those pension plans have all gone by the wayside. the reality is that you have to fund your own retirement, which means you need to be disciplined. so if you are young and trying to buy a home and you don't want to put money in a 401k plan because you need every nickel to pay your mortgage or living expenses you are gipping yourself in the future because you won't put away for

retirement. you need a tremendous amount of discipline. we talk one to 2 million put away for retirement. >> rich: i want to get you on states and colleges that are overturning or banning d.e.i. mandates in their schools. a lot of them are in the south, republican leaning states, but m.i.t. has also stopped requiring d.e.i. statements. do you think that there is going to be a movement away from that beyond just these republican states? >> i think that universities and higher education should be all about you study, do well, get good grades and get a good job. d.e.i. is the antithesis of that. good to see these states are going away it from. >> julie: president biden getting an earful as blue groups
