we've got some quick headlines for you on this Tuesday morning the world famous
Thunderbirds arriving in Colorado Springs ahead of the Air Force Academy
graduation the team will perform at the end of tomorrow's ceremony over Elkins
Stadium and it is awesome and freshmen at the Naval Academy complete a rite of
passage
over a thousand young cadets completing the annual Herndon climb in Annapolis
students forming a human pyramid to cap a 21 foot monument that is slathered
with slippery grease they put a midshipmen's cap at the top to mark the
end of the year so it's officially over Frank all right 15 minutes before the
top of the hour last week's horrific shooting in Texas prompting renewed
calls for armed protectionist school campuses after all it was the 16th
school shooting like our next guest a sheriff in Florida who's wasting no time
in taking action vowing to put an armed officer in every public school campus in
his County this week Polk County Sheriff Grady Grady judge joins us now sheriff
you saw a Santa Fe and you said that's it we're doing this this week how are
you doing it well Bryan what we're doing is working with the police departments
in the city and of course my deputies in the county we had to change over 400
schedules in order to cover the next four days we're covering an additional
hundred and six schools in addition to our SROs and SR these that we're already
on campus but you know what the children are worth it right and it's you ups it
to you to take action we don't know where Texas gonna do but the big
question is do you have the money and resources to do this long term well we
don't for sheriff's service are for sheriff's deputies but let me explain
what we did in the state of Florida we passed a law we said hey the talking's
over it's time for action as a result the legislators provided money for SROs
and what we call safe school guardians and as of August 13th of next year for
the first time in the history of the state of Florida every public school
campus will have well-trained armed security called a guardian right or a
school resource officer and we're gonna do everything that we can to protect the
children and they are pretty trained you would tell me in the break they're gonna
have over a hundred hours of firearms training what else are you doing for
them yeah Bryan that's correct in fact when you look at the discipline of
firearms there's 25% more training for the guardian
than to even be a certified police officer and we're arming them and
coaching them and teaching them but at the end of the day this is just one of
many many different layers so you're gonna put in every school and I think
that's where we're heading the question is where's the money coming from Florida
has the money that stays - and while they have a surplus what about some of
the poorer states who also want their kids safe what do you recommend they do
is it federal funding Brian you federal funding can always help but you know you
can take your existing resources on your campuses give them detailed backgrounds
psychological drug screens ask for volunteers and give them the same
training for approximately 1,500 to 2,500 dollars apiece so you can do it
inexpensively you've got to quit talking and start acting so she and that's what
we're doing in Florida Sheriff I it's for me personally we don't know the
reason some say video games don't say psychotropic drugs some say bullying is
up whatever the reason is we didn't wait when it came to airports why are we
waiting so long when it comes to schools do you know I wish I could answer that
there are evil plss all over this country and they're planning the next
act of shooting right now and I can tell you in this county and our sheriff's
office in our police departments if you show up on a campus the talking's over
we're gonna shoot you a lot Ryan to protect our children and we know this
this guy got in for 30 minutes there was a marine teacher there who knows how to
use a firearm but they're not allowed to have firearms in the school therefore
the guy was having target practice again with kids and students but you're not
waiting and that's the message your training guardians to go out there in
the meantime you got officers in there sheriff Grady Judd thanks so much Brian
thank you so very much we can't keep doing the same old thing and aspect
different result it's ridiculous for action absolutely near zero agency all
right and so the people for the legislature it did act meanwhile he lost
both his legs while serving our country overseas now Johnny Joey Jones is firing
back you want to go on a ride at Six Flags they threw him off the ride for
not having quote real legs he was here live to
share his experience next and president from polishing capitalism making America
open for business Kentucky governor Matt Bevin joins us
next hour to tell us how his state is thriving after all he's a business guy
first
a Six Flags Georgia Six Flags Georgia is facing backlash after banning a wAPT
veteran from this ride Johnny Joey Jones lost both of his legs and a bomb blast
while he was serving all of us over in Afghanistan tweeting quote I just got
kicked off a fully enclosed ride at Six Flags just like one I've ridden at
Universal Studios for not having quote real legs here with more retired US Army
Corps bomb technician Johnny Joey Jones Johnny good morning to you good morning
guys how's it going we're doing okay we're gonna start with this this is the
official rule regarding the ride you were on according to Six Flags Over
Georgia riders must have one functioning arm and one functioning leg absent of
prosthetic devices apparently the concern is the fact that
you have two prosthetic legs no absolutely and to be honest it's not
this particular ride that I was asked to get off of that was the problem it was
how I was asked to get off the ride and then once I left the ride I researched
the policy for every single ride in the park and literally I can't get on a
tilt-a-whirl I'm restricted to pretty much things that don't move because of
my legs and if you read the policy for every ride the verbage is different for
one it may say no prosthetics allowed for the next one it may say a word like
absent of prosthetics for the next one it might say at least one fully
functioning leg and the next one that may say something like all arms and legs
attached and so when you go down this a policy that what you see is a severe
absence of common sense and a big worry of liability a lot of people have quoted
to me a marine who fell out of a rollercoaster and died 2010 the same
year I got injured ironically but if you look at him his physical body was
completely different than mine I have my legs all the way down to where my knees
were and what that means is any type of device like a lap bar is gonna function
as designed on me my legs aren't gonna stop that from working but it's the fact
they don't put the policy out there and and he didn't say you can't ride this
ride go talk to so and so it was you can't ride this ride I said why he said
because you don't have real legs Six Flags released the statement they said
we Apollo to mr. Jones for any inconvenience
however to ensure safety guests with certain disabilities are restricted from
writing certain rides and attractions our policies are customized by ride and
developed for the safety of all our guests you know the rules are the rules
many people will say that but I look at you I know what you've done for our
country you lost your legs in Afghanistan how can we ask you to go to
war but you can't ride you know a simple ride what is your message for Six Flags
do you want them to change the rules so that someone in your situation can ride
the rides what can you do with your legs well let me be specific here the same
rule that stopped me from getting on the roller coaster would have stopped me
from getting on the tilt-a-whirl next to it that doesn't leave the ground so my
message the Six Flags is I don't hate you I don't want to tell people not to
go there I want you to apply the same type of care and thoughtfulness that
Universal Studios Disney SeaWorld and everywhere else I've gone and written
Relic coasters and done so safely I want you to apply the same knowledge and
expertise they applied because they look for a way to accommodate me not a way to
restrict me just because of liability and it's not just you you're talking
about other people from similar reasons whether it happened in war or from birth
or from cancer they're going to go through the same thing so this that's
can be an important statement absolutely I'm happy to work with Six
Flags I'm happy to be their test dummy if they need it but the fact is the only
prohibiting factors if that lap bar or those shoulder harnesses can't function
as design and my body will do that Johnny Joey Jones thanks so much thank
you next our Kentucky governor Matt Bevin don't move that's our local
president Trump demanding answers from deputy AG rod Rosenstein about a
possible FBI spy in his campaign that would be a crime of enormous magnitude
of which I don't believe we've ever seen an American what if there was all eyes
are in Capitol Hill today where Republican lawmakers are demanding a
second special counsel I don't think that the Justice Department's gonna be
able to investigate themselves I think that they've resisted our inquiries here
in Congress for long enough Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announcing the
administration's pressure campaign to weaken Iran's economy until it changes
its behavior these will impede and being the strongest sanctions in history
and we are complete Democrats are taking a cue from the president's playbook in a
dramatic shift to their own message drain the swamp you can't beat them join
us you know this is a clear effort to take and co-op the president's very
powerful anti elite anti-washington message freshman at the Naval Academy
scale a first year rite of passage all to mark the end of the year
dan you might as well jump live from New York City it's our 3 for May 22nd 2018
Fox and Friends world's number one cable Morning News show thanks to folks like
you and Ainsley has returned from across I did yesterday my daughter got her very
first trophy and yes everyone in the class got a trophy or do what they do
it's called kids in sports it's a it's a program they have here where they learn
every week how to learn how to play one sport was this week jump because they
asked him to run around in a circle and then they said now jump around in a
circle so they're supposed to hop and my daughter can't really do it she kind of
it's really cute anyway so anyway she got a trophy anyway for participating ok
but she's two and a half you know I understand when you're like 7 or 8 you
get the trophy if you're the best but at this age can't everyone get a trophy
look we still like trophies right but she didn't get everybody she's left with
it last night it's in her crib all right meanwhile let's talk a little bit about
this there was a crazy meeting yesterday at the White House it was the president
United States the guy who runs the FBI and also the Department of Justice
Deputy Attorney General and they were all talking about mr. Trump's tweet a
couple days earlier the day earlier where he said you know something's fishy
going on there was there a spy inside my campaign if so I want answers well and
you know some people are being critical of that but if you think about it if
you're running for president and someone is spying on you being funded by your
opponent or being tracked to your opponent then wouldn't you want to know
about it wouldn't you want to know some answers he wanted other people to do
this investigation for him no one was stepping up to the plate so he finally
holds this meeting and he's like you know what I want to get to the bottom of
this you've been trying to say Russia Russia Russia all this time and I'm sick
of it you didn't find anything there so now we're starting to peel the onion
apart and we're starting to see more layers and it looks like someone he's
saying it might look it looks fishy why did you spy on me what was your
amazing was it politically motivated and there was one person three meetings with
quarter-page Papen at least three meetings and at least one person with
quarter-page Papadopoulos as well as Sam Clovis so he Judge Napolitano
here and he just talked about in relevance what the big deal is and where
this could be heading could the city administration be spying on the Trump
campaign listen I don't believe DOJ will give everything and I'll tell you why
because under the law the DOJ has the right to keep from everyone information
that's presented to a grand jury or information that would expose a source
when they're still in the midst of a criminal investigation as ugly as this
sounds Muller's investigation is a criminal investigation the subject of
that invasive investigation is the President of the United States they
would never tip their hand to the president to anybody about what they
have and where they're going until the investigation is over and they've either
written a report about him charged that was something or exonerated so there
you've got the judge talking about how going forward it was brokered yesterday
John F Kennedy Center referee when it comes to all those congressional
Republicans who want all these confidential and top-secret documents he
will broker it between the Department of Justice and the FBI and Congress but
then and it all revolves yesterday regarding the tweet around that perhaps
spy the confidential source inside the campaign Michael Caputo who was with the
Trump campaign for a while he says there could be more than one person who
infiltrated the Trump's circle and if that's true this could be very bad for
some familiar names from the Obama White House but let me tell you something that
I know for a fact the this informant this person that they planted tried to
plant into the campaign and even into the administration if you believe Axios
he's not the only person that came at the campaign and the FBI is not the only
Obama agency that came at the campaign I know because they came at me and I'm
looking for clearance to my attorney to reveal this to the public this is
just the beginning and I'll tell you when we finally find out the truth about
this director clapper and the rest of them are going to be wearing some orange
suits and this guy is paid a lot because of the baller
negation because of the house investigation Michael Caputo who's not
even with the Trump campaign and I believe was a volunteer even though he
was playing a vital role and had some president respect left when Corey
Lewandowski left because of an ill-advised tweet about Corey
lewandowski's exit and he's still a friend of the president he has paid he I
think he had to remortgage his house over in Buffalo his financial
issues because you need the top lawyer because so much is at stake in his big
sin with being friends with the president Michael Flynn same thing he
had to go ahead and maybe cut a deal because he couldn't even afford to make
his house payments after a while it's just about doing the right thing no
matter if you're a Republican or if you're a Democrat if they are sending
someone in if any political party is sending someone in to spy on an opponent
that is wrong that's wrong and it needs we need to know we need to know the
answers and why it was done right and so you've got these congressional
Republicans they are keep in mind with three co-equal branches of government
you've got Congress which has oversight over the administration which is the
Department of Justice and the FBI but according to a number of congressional
Republicans the Department of Justice has been stonewalling when it comes to
getting some of these documents so that's why congressman Ron De Santis of
Florida is one of three lawmakers including Mark meadows and Jim Jordan
calling for a second special counsel why listen we need people to be held
accountable for how the Hillary email investigation was conducted and we're
going to get a lot of information on that when the IG report lands hopefully
very soon but we also need to get people to be held accountable for any FISA
abuse that occurred and then how did this investigation into the Trump
campaign start and were was it on the up and up from the very beginning there's
always a lot of questions about that and I don't think that the Justice
Department's going to be able to investigate themselves I think that
they've resisted our inquiries here in Congress for long enough and so it's
time that we did have a special counsel Senator Graham said something similar I
don't think this country needs another special counsel on anything this doesn't
work it's not effective it just further divides the country I understand the
frustration on the right and the left pending on what the target is right but
my goodness is so debilitating of the taxing what it takes out of you we're
not doing because of it but Brian do you trust the Department of Justice to
investigate themselves well the Department of Justice because it was
inspired by the president should be at least responsive to the president he
hauled him in yesterday and there was Inspector General overseeing it and if
you have an investigation in James clapper or John Brennan or any of the
other or James Comey don't show up they'll say a lot because the Inspector
General is able to get a lot out of it right mr. general not Alan Dershowitz
yes and that the country does not benefit from this the 9/11 style
investigation when people aren't defensive when they can be open and say
how do we fix this right that's when it works but here's the thing the Inspector
General which is what they're talking about right there between the White
House and the congressional Republicans yesterday he doesn't have subpoena power
he can't get James Comey in he can't get mr. clapper in it can't get they they
can't impanel a grand jury and so that's why a lot of people go you know what I
don't see how they can investigate themselves are you going to look at the
IG report which is due out this month which has got to be next week this week
or next week are you going to look at it differently are their conclusions
because they didn't have subpoena power well listen according to the reports
today apparently the IG reports savages James Comey for not moving fast enough
to get a warrant into Hillary's email server people don't care how it's done
they just want it over they want the answers but if you do have a special
counsel it is another investigator it's money in the waters even more and it
just divides it red and blue right when I don't care where you stand we're doing
benefits do you remember on the campaign trail of course you did president
yelling out drain the swamp and the crowds would say drain the swamp well he
was talking about Nancy Pelosi right Chuck Schumer all the people that have
been in Washington the establishment that's right the establishment that are
not getting anything done in his minds well now you have those two people who
are considered the swamp now they want to join the swamp
that's the new democratic slogan listen to this
president Trump has embraced the most egregious establishment Republican norms
and appointed the most conflict-of-interest ridden cabinet in
my lifetime the swamp has never been more foul or more fetid than under this
president instead of delivering on its promise to drain the swamp President
Trump has become the swamp we want Republicans and their corrupt big donor
driven agenda to get out of the way it has given the American people a raw deal
apparently the Democrats internal polling have shown that in the upcoming
election they want folks to do something about corruption in Washington we so
that's why they're going to pull the plug on the swamp we asked you guys to
weigh in on this and Ricky says you can't get them to drain their own
swimming pools my David says the Democrats couldn't come up with a
message so they stole one that works so for well for president Trump what's next
blue megawhatts Nancy Pelosi did use that in 2006 by the way and a tweet from
John since they're taking drain the swamp maybe next year we'll hear Chuck
and Nancy saying build the wall all right keep the email coming and the
tweets and whatnot because we read them all day long so it was Nancy Pelosi
slogan in 2006 yep when she was working to be speaker and I am fascinated as we
turn it over to Gillian and take a wide shot maybe from Ted thanks that I did
some fascinating to see there's crowd funding for the wall more people have
written us saying well why don't we just do a way to finance the wall in our own
so crowd funding it starts with how much women Diane I bet you they get enough
money how much is my billion in the pot now 25
billion 25 billion I bet you 50 cents okay new threats days after the deadly
