Hello, everyone. I'm kayleigh mcenany along with kat, tim, paul morrow, emily compagno and tyrus. It's five o' clock in new york city and this is the fight. This is a FOX News alert. A frantic search underway for a second pilot after a US F15E fighter jet was downed over southwest Iran. One of the pilots has been rescued and is receiving medical treatment. And President Trump telling NBC that this will not affect negotiations with Iran. Let's go right to Jennifer Griffin in Washington. Jennifer?
B
Kayleigh, it's not clear the condition of that crew member who was rescued. We've seen the harrowing images of the wreckage from the F15E Strike Eagle Fighter jet, which was shot down in the Khuzestan province. This is one of 31 provinces. It's a remote area in that is in southwestern Iran, sort of along the Iraqi border. But the Zagros Mountains go through this area. It is a remote region. And we understand that another that the search and rescue for that second crew member, the pilot, is underway. And it is obviously of the utmost importance. Those two crew members for the F15E would have been given very serious SERE training, that's survival and evasion techniques to avoid being captured by the Iranians. The Iranians have put out a reward for the captured pilot if the pilot could be captured and have doubled that reward since we first started reporting on this earlier this morning. We do understand from well placed sources that the rescue aircraft that came to the rescue of one of the crew members, that there was enemy fire and that it is possible that those rescue helicopters were hit in the process. We again, we are getting details, we're keeping some details that we are trying to confirm because of the sensitivity of the nature of this search and rescue mission. There are other reports of other aircraft being downed in the region, but we've not been able to confirm those yet. Kayleigh?
A
Jennifer, thank you. Meanwhile, Democrats are wasting no time attacking the president, accusing him of committing war crimes and threatening, well, you guessed it, another impeachment.
C
He's kicked the hornet's nest. He's got his foot stuck in it and he doesn't know how to get out. So what is he doing?
D
He's resorting to war crimes. It's an embarrassment.
E
He should be impeached now. I mean, he's taken us into a disastrous war. Democrats will impeach him once we take back the House and should impeach him for all the things he's done. And depending on the Senate, he may face conviction.
A
I mean, that's pure insanity. And we will get to that in a moment. So do not worry. The Democrats will not go unaddressed. But I want to start with the most important point. We are learning, Emily, and that is, of course, the downed plane, the one search for the pilot continuing. We are told that President Trump's been in the Oval Office all day, the Oval Office dining room, the national security team is there, and he's been monitoring.
F
Indeed, there is no more primary mission right now for the entire United States and our commander in chief than the rescue of that second pilot and retrieving our treasure. And that's what it is. And I want to talk for a moment about the valor and the safety as well danger that faces the search and rescue personnel that are going after him. We all remember the Vietnam war and the POWs there. And Colonel Tom Mo was at the controls of an F4, also an Air Force jet, when he was shot down. And in his inverted tailspin had the wherewithal to radio back to the air base and talk about it was actually their own munitions saving their lives. And he evaded escape or he evaded capture for three days. And during that time was in constant radio comms with the search and rescue personnel of the Air Force and more. And he was on the radio with then Colonel Bob Wilkie, who was at the controls of a Skyraider when Colonel Wilkie was shot down. So Colonel Mo, who was escaping capture by the Vietnamese, heard his rescuer shot down and then he went on to be captured. He was a POW for almost six years. And the first question he had when he was returned to the Americans was what was the name of that pilot that died saving my life? That is the brotherhood and that is the danger that faces. But there is they are undeterred from having it be their primary mission and secondary point. Quickly, Captain Barry Bush Wilmore, who wrote the book Stuck in Space, talks about the amount of preparation required and that they engage in for any kind of scenario, 10,000 hours in simulators and in real world scenarios, rehearsing, essentially preparing for not only the absolute worst, but any kind of scenarios, the scenarios that might take one half an instant, that might last a duration of six minutes. But the point is you prepare for every type of that scenario. So I have no doubt that the pilot and the wizzo, as it's called in The Air Force F15, he were properly prepared. And so too are their search and rescue teams that are going out there and that will not stop until they find the second one.
A
You know, Paul President Trump has issued pretty clear warnings to Iran about what will come. He talked about Iran looking like the Stone Age, should they continue this. And you have the Iranian foreign minister who came out and said striking civilian structures, including unfinished bridges, will not compel Iranians to surrender.
C
Yeah. So look, one of the things that we are reminded of today is that as we say in the intelligence game, the enemy gets a vote, okay? And war is not antiseptic, no matter how you portray it and how it looks on television. Okay? This is the inevitable result of doing what we're doing. But let's review the facts here and let's understand the two sides of this quite accurately, because I want to respond to these allegations of war crimes, which I think is the kind of hyperbole that is really why we don't trust Congress these days and why their ratings are what they are, because that's way over the top while we have people in theater fighting this war. Look, reasonable minds can disagree about whether or not going into Iran was a good idea, okay? I had ambivalence myself as well confronting this when we had the aircraft carriers off the coast and by the Persian Gulf. But I would say two things. Number one, let's understand the stakes. If you believe that a nuclear armed Iran with ICBMs would not attack America because of some theory, let's say, of mutually assured destruction, which is what was always in place with us and the Soviets, if you think that that would work, then sure, I get the idea of saying this was a complete miscalculation. There was no reason to do it. They weren't a threat to us because if we just leave them alone, they'll leave us alone. And that has to be the calculus because they're going to get a nuke that's at this point irrefutable. And number two, we know they had a missile that could go 2,000 miles that they weren't supposed to have. We also, they have an ICBM program, a matter of time before they can hit. Forget our allies in Europe, never mind them, I should say, but the east coast of America, never mind allies in the Mid east, not just Israel, but the Sunni allies. So the point is this. If you believe that the mutually assured destruction, the balance of power, would have held all of that together, then I'm compelled by that argument that, you know, we should have left it alone. But the truth of the matter is that I worked against these people and I know how to mull this thing to the extent that anybody sitting on this side of the divide can know, and I don't trust them and their messianic mission, their single mindedness to get this nuclear device when their economy sucks. Their people are in open Revolt. We know 30 to 40,000 of them have been killed. Then I say to myself, if you're going to accuse our president of war crimes, you better have an alternative to what we do about the fact that you're going to have a nation with nukes that can reach us at some point relatively soon and has a messiah complex and practically has death to America written on their currency. So from where I sit, those are the stakes and we should understand them before we start throwing things around like impeach and try our president for war crimes. Because frankly, I find that disgusting.
A
Yeah, I do too. And you know, reasonable minds can differ. Indeed. But the war crimes language, Kat, I mean, that is like literally Iranian talking points.
G
Well, a lot of times for politicians, war becomes political. It's not political for me at all. It never has been. My concern now and always is about our service members and seeing a jet get shot down like this, it does raise the possibility of escalation, which does scare me because a few days ago we were told no antiaircraft equipment, everything's annihilated, and now we're seeing this. And it does scare me. For me, it's not political at all. It's personal. Just as the wife of a combat veteran seeing what happened in Afghanistan and then just seeing my husband suffer as he watched everything he fought for and that some of his classmates and friends died for fall apart so quickly. I mean, even war changes people. And seeing that up so close and personal changed me even. Although I was always somebody who was a bit of a skeptic. But of course, I can't help but notice how some people who are just suddenly outraged about this war didn't seem to care so much about the ones before. So if you care about the consequences of war, then that should matter every time and not just when it's politically convenient. So, I mean, I know that this is a part of war and that's exactly why I'm so hesitant about war. And I know a lot of people in my generation are more skeptical or are more concerned because we are the generation that fought the wars that we had in the Middle east already. So I don't want to get nuked by an Iranian weapon any more than anyone else does, obviously. But I think that for a lot of us in my generation, these soldiers were our spouses, were our friends, and we have, you know, maybe some Concerns. You can have concerns, but also be hoping for the best for all of our soldiers and military and be wanting to see things go well. I'm looking at this every day, hoping to see good news, hoping to see it wrapped up quickly. And I do find it very, very wrong and gross to see. I think, of course, not everyone, not me, but some people who almost seem like the most important thing is the politics of it all and just because it's Trump. So I think that there are many ways to look at this and the most important thing has to be our service members and what' best for our country.
A
Absolutely. And they have names and they have stories like John Alex Kleiner, who left behind two seven month old twins and a toddler as well, a beautiful father and now a wife who is a widow. And you know, President Trump wants to make sure that sacrifice is worth it. And the question for others is what is the alternative? Iran getting a nuclear weapon? It's a tough quagmire.
E
The alternative is there isn't one. That's what I love about these, these Democratic geniuses that go on and they love to tell a high chair quarterback and tell everybody what is going wrong, but you never hear what they, what was going right or what's your plan, how would you handle it? This is, this is a war that we are dominating in. But just like a prize fight where a guy is winning every round, every once in a while the other guy is going to get a punch in and they get a punch in and the, and if it's his hometown, the whole place goes insane. Wow, we got one jab in. But the whole time they're getting pummeled and getting beat. And that's the problem we have between the two countries. Iran doesn't care about their people. There's no way to track where their missiles are because they don't. They will put them under a school, they will put them in a church, they will put them wherever they need to be. And Iran is a big place. They get one shot in. And the people who are supposed to support our troops regardless, and these are elected officials and they're all about the troops when it comes time for election. Here's a time where now you're saying they were sent on a bad mission, that they're doing war crimes. The president isn't doing these things. He's saying that the people, the men and women that serve this country are taking orders and they're going to go out and do war crimes. To say that and to say that you're a patriotic American is disgusting. They're talking points. Doesn't matter. When President Trump got shot, they weren't out there saying, this was terrible. They're like, well, it's his fault, or they would make a little under. And it's the same thing. The war. We know the war is successful because they're so upset. And the first time there's a little hiccup in terms of they got one of our planes. They acted like, oh, wow, it's now the war's changed. America's on the ropes now. They're not. It's just. It's a terrible thing when one of our own goes down. He has the training, there's people in place. The president is literally sitting and watching one to make sure wants to know what's going on. He didn't have to look for him. We didn't have to look for somebody in the white. We had four understand that Iran had basically four years to load up and do whatever they want. And now. And even with all the stuff, the timing that they had, we have crippled them so much to where they're reduced to get. They got one time and they want to have a parade and they want to. I feel very bad for the leadership that's left because just their reactions from all of this, we're going to see a very powerful response from the American government and boys, men and women who are serving over there.
A
And to that end, my question for Seth Moulton, war crimes. Have you mentioned that Iran is recruiting child soldiers as young as 12 years old? There is one party that's committing war crimes. It is the Iranian terrorist regime.
E
Exactly.
C
And just to close the loop, if I can real quick, you know, I don't want to hear that the alternative was the jcpoa, because you still hear that right. When you consider the fact that as part of the negotiations here, we were just told that they had enough nukes for building at least was it 10, 11 devices. But furthermore, they're not supposed to have the missile that they just fired 2,000 miles. So you're telling me that the inspection regime was working because you don't develop that overnight. That's been a program that's been going on. So this idea that would be their alternative. Oh, you had a deal, you tore it up. I was at the Council Foreign Relations when John Kerry got off the plane. It's the first place he went to explain that deal. That room which should have been with him was so hostile because I saw how facile he was being about it. Oh, we know we trust him. We're going to be able to check it out. At one point, he had to yell at the crowd. He went, we're not naive because they knew you're naive. And what they were really doing was saying, kick this downrange for the next president. We don't want to do it.
A
You're being kind. Calling it the inspection route. I call it the plane load of cash route. Yes, that. That definitely did not work. There you go. Coming up next, Democrats get a rude awakening. Their own voters don't even like them. Ouch.
C
I need some good news.
E
Nobody knows.
H
Something big is staring up in our country, inspiring millions and shaping the future of our nation. Welcome to the great American Revival. The energy is on 1000.
C
There has been a resurgence of interest in Jewish life. When I got baptized, that was a marking moment of my life.
E
They are on fire. Leading movements to change the world.
H
I'm Lawrence Jones, and this is Revival, a powerful new series streaming now on Fox Nation.
D
This is your last chance to get Fox nation for only $2.99 a month.
C
Foreign.
F
Are already acting like the midterms are in the bag. Taking a victory lap months before a single vote is cast. Just listen to James Carville.
I
I'm gonna tell you fat something. You're getting ready to get the living crap kicked out of you. You don't know because they haven't really told you. You're gonna sit there and wonder what it feels like to be punched in the mouth by Mike Tyson, and that's what's going to happen to you in November. I got news for you, dude. You're done. And we're going to enjoy watching your downfall.
F
But Carville might want to slow his roll after his Kamala prediction. The new poll showing that 74% of voters, including a majority of Democrats, think the party doesn't have the right priorities. Where the party's leaders are insisting that everything is a.
G
Okay.
C
The bottom line is our caucus and our party is strong and united and we are fighting very hard. The American people are rejecting Republican extremism and embracing the fact that Democrats are authentically making clear that we're going to work as hard as we can to make life better for the American people.
F
Just not the American people that have an R in front of their names.
A
All right.
F
But not all Democrats are ignoring the party's glaring issues. 2028 hopeful Rahm Emanuel calling out the left for losing sight of what voters care about.
J
You are worried about bathroom access and locker room access. Why don't you Focus on classroom excellence. You have 50% of our kids not reading at grade level. We lost the plot. We as Democrats nationally, from Latinx to defunding the police to police organizations, are all racist. To bringing a set of cultural wars to our schools. We are on the losing side of those cultural wars, full stop.
F
Kaylee, you and I love talking about Rahm Emanuel. And he is now repeating himself with this in a good way, where he's staying firm, saying the party has lost its values and directions and talking about the wasted time and the distraction that those issues have been for his party.
A
No doubt. I mean, when you find yourself on the losing side of a myriad 80, 20 issues and you look and you're like, I'm in the 20%. You don't double down on the 20%. You migrate over to the 80%. And very few Democrats have done that. Axios asked 20 Democrats about transgender issues. Only three answered. Two pointed back to like non serious talking points. And only Rahm Emanuel answered very clearly. The issue. We saw Gavin Newsom act reasonable about this and then backpedal. Democrats are on the wrong side. Look, it's still challenging for Republicans in the midterms. They're up against history. The party in the White House typically does lose seats, so it's an uphill battle. But James Carville, as you know, hot he sounded there. He obviously has a beef with the president on this issue of transgenderism. He has been very clear. I mean, I asked him outright, can a man become a woman? He said he's 81 years old, he's never taken birth control. So perhaps, at least on that issue, I would never advise Democrats to follow his language with regard to President Trump. But on trans issues, you might want to take a cue from Rahm or from James.
F
And interestingly, Tyrus, it seems that as soon as you put a Dem in front of the camera, they say everything's unified. But there's a lot of fraction behind the scenes. We've seen this during a lot of these elections in the primaries coming up. And what they say about each other seems to be a little vicious. In addition to what they certainly say about Republicans and Trump.
E
I got it. Caravel. Carvel, my.
A
I'm serious.
E
Sexy little chameleon. If you watch the whole thing of that, first of all, that entire rant was brought to you by Jack Daniels. He had a, he had a couple, I think, and decided to tell about how it was. But he, he forgets. He literally said with a, well, I don't know if his face is straight because he's got that Gollum look kind of going on, but whatever's left of the soggy mess that used to be a skull that had a brain in it. He literally said, president, you're not going to be ready for this because we're coming after you. I'm sorry, when are they not like he. From the time he stepped on the escalator, they've been after him in what, 17 impeachments, all these Trump fake cases all the time assassination attempts, they're like, they don't condone. They go in for in favor of it. So at what point do you think the President is going to get caught slipping? He even went on to say, which was probably my favorite part, was that it was going to be like getting punched in the face by Mike Tyson. Again, poor choice of words, because Mike Tyson was voted for President Trump. And so I don't think he was going to punch him. I think he's going to hug him. You, on the other hand, with that type of verbiage, you might want to duck with what's left of that soggy bone of bitterness that it is you and the Democratic Party.
F
His precious is the Jack Daniels. All right, so brass tacks with a detective from New York, Paul, because I don't think that Republicans can really sleep easily. I think that there might be a grain of truth, however, with what Carville is warning us about, because there's certainly a lot of fracture in our party, too. What do you think our vulnerable, our, the GOP's vulnerabilities are moving into the midterms because there needs to be a cohesion for them to maintain the lead?
C
Well, first of all, obviously, as Kelly points out, you're fighting against history, okay? In the midterms almost always, whoever won the first time around, you're trying to hold the House, trying to hold the Senate. Chances are they'll hold the Senate, and sometimes you'll take half a loaf. The thing I think that's so significant here that we should be focusing on is when we hear incessantly polls talking about how buried the GOP is and how there's just absolutely no shot for them. The secret weapon for the GOP is the Democrats, because then you look at the numbers like we just got and you say, my God, they're in worse shape than even we are. And I am saying we because it's no secret that that's how I'm going to vote. Now, the thing is, I have to make this point. I made it earlier on the other show. This is the dissatisfaction with the Dems. The received wisdom is that, okay, those are moderate Dems who don't like the fact that the is drifting so far left. They don't want to be embroiled in the DEI in the border. All of this other stuff we lost, as Rahmoun said, we've lost the plot and we've gone way too far left. I think what's being missed here is that the dissatisfaction is coming from the left. And that's why when you see these people interviewed, they're all ducking the question. Ducking the question because they're terrified of being characterized as not on board with where the energy is, the small donors, the ambition, the. The energy are the young AOC to squat. Ironically, that led by the OG Socialist, which is, you know, obviously Bernie Sanders, who's older than all of them put together. But bottom line is that is where the party is really devolved to. That's where the party's base is. And so when you see dissatisfaction, the Reid is wrong, I think by Emanuel and even Carville, who needs to, by the way, take a nap, do some double your meds, bro. I mean, he's taking it way too personally.
E
But.
C
And actually, that's a tell because he's acting like, you know what? This is an affront to me. And by the way, not for nothing guy, if you're gonna telegraph that you're going after Donald Trump, didn't you learn something the first time? Because that's what undermines the cases. In fact, he gives legally, but also in terms of public opinion. A great talking point for Donald Trump, which is all they want to do is get me. And as he says online, look, they're not after me. They're after you. I'm just in the way. So the Dems are in disarray here, but again, history is against the gop, and you know what? You can't count on that. So, you know, you lose one of the houses, you lose one.
E
While you were. While you were saying that real quick. You keep talking about 20 80, but they're 20. They are in the 20. And then in the 20%, they're 100%. They live in a bubble. So they're 20. Their echo chamber is 100%. That's why they're on the wrong side of 80s and 20s. Because they're the 20s.
F
Yep. Yeah. And a lot of the primaries and races of note, especially coming up in the midterms, the sort of defining feature will be the independence, Right? And so for them, the primary Look, a lot of people say, well, disregard the polls. But poll after poll shows that their primary issue is the economy. And over and over again, the GOP and President Trump is what is blowing out the Democrats and favorability on the economy.
G
Historically, perhaps. I mean, currently, right now, you nailed it. Over half of Millennials and Gen Z are independent. They look at both parties and they say, I'm not fully such as myself. I'm included in that. Independent. Don't fully align myself with either one of you. I think it's very frustrating when you look at both and you see the things that they're arguing about. When you see James Carville talking about, well, you know, well, we're going to get in charge and we're going to put all of Trump's people and, you know, we're just like, hey, I'd like to own a home. I'd like to own a home. None of us own homes. And it is tough because it does feel like there isn't really any more focus on that. I think that the Democrat solution is socialism. Large by larger and large. A lot of their most popular politicians, be it AOC or be it Mamdani, are the ones saying, you know, hey, yeah, no, I got it.
F
It's full government control.
G
That's a solution. But then a lot of times when it comes to the affordability crisis, the GOP can just say, well, you know what? You know, pull yourself up by your bootstraps. You know, don't buy avocado toast. Don't get too much coffee. When really the numbers show that, you know, the number one predictor of home ownership for a millennial is not how hard you work, it is how much money your parents have. So I think that the GOP could have a huge win here if they would refocus on the economy, because I think right now you're being asked to make sense sacrifices. Gas is expensive. Okay, a lot. There are some people who are straight up saying, all right, we'll deal with it. And I don't think that's good messaging going into this. For the gop, it is going to depend on what independents want to do. There is a lot of time before midterms. There's a lot of time for things to change. But you're absolutely right, Emily. For independent voters, I mean, for myself particularly, neither major party, I don't think is ever going to do what I really want them to do, which is just to leave me alone and let me live my life for myself and let other people kind of do the Same. But refocusing on the economy, that's absolutely the way to go. I think for the gop, getting back to some of that smaller government would be a huge win. And affordability.
C
Yeah, it never gets smaller either.
G
It never does. You can't blame a girl for dreaming.
F
Elon tried.
A
Yes.
F
All right, guys. Coming up next, a former SNL star calls marriage legalized slavery. Stay with us.
G
This is the rhythm of the night.
F
Oh, yeah.
G
Former SNL star Leslie Jones is making waves for a pretty brutal take on marriage. The comedian rejecting the idea of being a trad wife. That's the trend, that women should embrace traditional gender roles. Let's just say Jones wasn't interested because she thinks marriage is just legalized slavery.
F
Could you be a trad wife is what I'm asking?
H
Absolutely not.
C
Why not?
H
Because that's not who the f. I am. And my daddy didn't raise me like that. To be a trad wife, to be anybody's wife. My dad used to literally say that to me. I didn't raise you to be somebody's wife. I think marriage is legalized slavery.
G
Okay, Tyrus, before we get into this at all, I just want to say she's a comedian, so also, you know, we've both been through that thing where maybe we say something as a joke and then everybody goes crazy. I think she was joking, but you might not think so. Go ahead.
E
And I just want to say, on behalf of men, we're good with her decision. The idea that this attack. And it's funny that it comes from other women. A trad. How dare you. Like a housewife is the hardest job in the world. You have to raise your children, run a household, keep your husband afloat, make sure he's able to do what he needs to do and work. And we've equated it to somehow they're submissive. I don't know. One of my friends. That wife stays at home and takes care of the children that actually runs the house. We don't. We come in from work or whatever, walk in the door, and it's like, take out the trash, do this, do that. Like, they run the show. So it takes a show. Strong woman to be a housewife so that they attack it. And it just makes me. I couldn't be that. And marriage is. Is slavery. Well, the thing about it is slavery wasn't a choice. Marriage is a choice. And I'm just. And I think your father was a psychic. I think he kind of was setting you up to kind of, hey, you know you got six kids, and one of them's kind of. You just know, like, this one's going to be at home a little longer than the other ones because genetically, you
G
know, just Kaylee, you're a wife. I'm a wife also. And honestly, this might sound really trad wife of me, but the most important thing in my life is my marriage. And I, when I got married, actually felt more freedom than I ever felt single because I was like, oh, there's this dude at home that has my back, that has me down. So that was the most freeing thing in the world to me.
A
Yeah. Because you have a marriage that's working, it's a partnership, and it makes your life easier.
G
Yes.
A
But I think what this comes down to, we have a selfishness problem in society because there are times it is a partnership, but sometimes you have to take a step back to support your spouse where they have to do the same for you. So you ultimately have to sacrifice to make that partnership work. I've seen a trend. There's an article, literally, New York magazine, we've talked about it. I regret having children. Can you imagine saying that, like, after you have a child, like, you regret that person. There's a selfishness problem in society. Being a stay at home mom is a hard job. Totally agree with you. Testament to the stay at home moms. Looking at my five bales of laundry at home that haven't been folded. It's a hard job and it's a sacrificial job. And we have lost all sense of self sacrifice.
G
Paul.
C
So I think that you guys hit it right on the head. And let me double tap that from the male perspective. Here's guys, here's how. You know, somebody asked me this the other day. So I'm going to give you unsolicited marriage advice, guys, for the young men out there, first of all, don't rush into it, all right? Make sure you're ready for it and all that kind of stuff. You've heard that. But here's the deal. Here's how you know it's the right one when it is easier to hang out with her than not. Yep, that's it. That's the metric right there. I've solved everything. Because sincerely, what is underappreciated is what you guys said. Number one, you got somebody that's got your back. Yep. And number two, you have somebody that just makes your life easier. I knew I had met the right person when it wasn't. Oh, I got to call her back. She's going to want to go out this Saturday? Want to do. I want to go to the hockey game? No, I wanted. I'm looking forward. I'm married 25 years. Whatever it is, I'm looking forward to hanging out tomorrow night and watching the Final four with my wife, primarily because she knows me.
G
Your wife's also a lot of fun. We love Jody Sincere about it.
C
And I actually find this story sad because everything in my life came together, got better after I met my wife. Listen, there's a great old Jamaican song, man. Smart women. Smarter. Don't ever think you guys don't run the show. I'm giving it up now, Tyrus, don't
E
get mad at me, but I literally just said for a minute and a half that I don't run anything in my house.
G
Emily, gotta get you in here.
F
Yeah, Look, I think this, to me shows a massive ignorance of what marriage is. And to sort of reduce it to chores is really surprising to me because I think about the reason that I am sitting here and the reason that I achieved anything of any type of nominal value whatsoever in my life is because I had a mom at home that didn't just do chores, but loved me unconditionally, supported me unconditionally in my endeavors, and educated me and guided me and provided all of that support and nurturing while my dad worked. And the teams, the teamwork that they had together provided that solid foundation, which was why, essentially, I could fly. So I'm sad for Leslie. I agree with you. I feel sorry for her that she is so ignorant. And it also illustrates to me the power of declarations over your child and the power of words. I'll bet if her dad had said, you are beautiful, you are enough, and you will find someone incredible to share your life with and grow with and have the blessing of children, she would probably be happily married with really happy, you know, well adjusted children. But instead, she's likening marriage to slavery and thinks she's too good for it. So she really missed the mark on that one. And I think her dad did, too.
G
Everybody's different. I love my husband. I love you, babe. I'll see you when I get home.
A
Aww.
G
The fastest seven. The fastest is next.
E
Next.
C
Welcome back in time for the fastest. Boom, boom, boom. All right, first up, new, newly released body cam footage shows the moments leading up to golfer Tiger Woods DUI arrest. In this one moment, everyone is talking about, woods took a phone call while police were on the scene of the crash. And when asked who was on the other line, Tiger Played the trump card.
K
All right.
C
You got it. All right, thank you. Bye.
E
Just keep you down here with us, please. Yeah, I was just talking to the president.
C
Okay, so a little dissent around the table today because Kaylee thinks that maybe he didn't actually get that call or make it. Go ahead.
A
I mean, I think maybe it was a fake call. When I was press secretary, I'd always pull it. Sorry, the president's here. Mom, I can't talk. You got to deal with my infant. I never did.
C
In other words, you lied about the state.
A
I never did it. I'm joking, Mom. I'm joking. But, yeah, I don't think he was.
G
Yeah, I couldn't do that. If I was like, I'm on the phone with the president, people would be like, of what?
C
Congress? Did it happen?
E
Yeah, I think it happened. But again, if I myself was in a situation like that, I would have pulled every card I could. Like, I was just on the phone. The president, he said it's desperate that I get to the wire. He needs me. Apparently, there's some urban stuff going on, and he needs me to figure it out. And maybe the police are like, hey, police escort. Oh, no, it's fine. You got. You know, I get it. But again, I. I keep. I keep looking at this and stuff, and people are. There's all these aspersions and everyone's attacking or whatever, but if you watch the whole thing, he sounded pretty coherent. He was rolled around in a car. His face. I mean, he was going to be beat up. And look, I think people are kind of trying to really just milk this story for everything it is. I know. They did this for Britney Spears. I'm gonna do it for Ty. Leave Tiger woods alone. He's going to get help. Leave him alone. Who cares who's on the phone with. Nobody got hurt.
C
Emily, lawyer this a little bit. What do you got?
F
Well, I'll say this, that my favorite response on the Internet, to your point, about everyone sort of attacking him, was, yeah, well, you know what? If the president was in my phone and I got arrested, yeah, he'd be my first phone call, too. I will also say this, that Tiger is dating the mother of the president's grandchildren. And growing up in my house, it was like, the first phone call better be from you, and then the second one better be from the cops telling me, but I better always hear something from you first. So if this phone call happened, then perhaps he was saying, Mr. President, I want to let you know, so you hear it from me first before you Hear it from the cop.
A
What a gentleman. That's really good.
C
Actually, I didn't say.
F
I mean, I'm saying. I don't know if that is why, but giving him the benefit of the doubt.
C
The interesting aspect of this, though, we were talking about it, is that word. It's not going to trial, but were it to go to trial, think about who could be a witness.
G
If the phone call did happen, you would have to call the president in DUI case.
A
No more Trump in court ever again.
C
They call me. It was a very good call. Some people said it was the best call. All right, up next, say goodbye to airplane mode. British Airways is bucking the trend allowing passengers to make phone calls during their flight. Now people talking a lot anywhere. Public transportation can be very irritating and for no real reason. I'm gonna go to Kat.
G
I would say this is a nightmare. Unless I'm the one who needs to make a phone call, in which case it's okay.
F
Yep.
G
Because it happened. I did. Okay, well, never mind. Should I not say that I sort of answered the phone on a call on a plane one time?
C
Well, you're already halfway in, so.
G
Well, okay. But in my defense, my soon to be 16 year old cat was not being allowed into my apartment and I was about to go back on the road and I don't even know how many more days together have left.
C
Not a compelling defense.
G
I didn't think it would work.
E
I will never fly this airline. Ever. If I see people talking on the phone, that is. It's beyond the pale. They can't even pay attention to put the seatbelt on when they're told to. No, I. I'm. No, Never flying.
F
I can imagine nothing worse.
C
Nothing worse than this.
A
I'm with Kat. I need to make a call. We're good.
G
Nope.
E
A convertible airplane would be worse.
G
Very bad thing to do. Unless I need to make it.
E
Exactly.
A
There you go.
G
Bingo. So, I mean, I think that that's, that's, you know, you're on a plane,
E
there's nothing you can do.
C
A lot of dissent along gender lines here. I notice. One thing I would pay for would be a flight that has no kids. I would pay extra.
A
You are terrible.
G
Kids all day, every day. You know, I get it.
F
I have.
E
It's not the kids, it's the parents.
G
Not fun on the plane.
C
They should be. You should literally be able to eject them mid flight. All right, coming up next, a live report from the region as the search for a missing U.S. crew member continues.

Fox News alert. The search continues for missing US crew member after an F15 fighter jet was downed over Iran. Mike Tobin is in Tel Aviv. Mike.
D
Well Tyrus, the Israeli Defense Forces say that airstrikes into Iran, particularly the area where the search and rescue is taking place, those airstrikes have been halted while the search is underway. Also, the Israeli Defense Forces say that they are sharing intel with the United States to aid in the search. Now a local news anchor in Iran with a state run newscast put a bounty out for the missing flight crew member, telling the audience to turn him over to local police to receive a quote, precious prize. This quickly went into the Iranian propaganda machine as evidence that air defenses in Iran have not been destroyed. As the President said, the search area is mountainous and dry. The sun has been down for hours now. This F15E has two crew members, a pilot and a weapons operator. It is not clear if it's the pilot or the weapons operator who has been rescued, but we do know he's been receiving medical treatment. Guys, back to you.
E
Mike. Thanks. Stay safe out there. One more thing is up next.

Emily okay, good news on this good Friday. This adorable bear cub was rescued by New Jersey State Troopers. Little guy was on i78.

This little guy is going to be taken care of from now on.

Oh I love that.
F
