fire under europe to get serious about trade negotiations. welcome to a brand-new hour of fox news live. i'm bill melugin. julie, great to see you. >> julie: great to be with you here even virtually. president trump pushing back the deadline after threatening a straight 50% tariff on the european union starting next week. that got europe's attention, though, the european commission's president called trump asking for more time to reach an agreement. >> bill: president trump had moved up the deadline after complaining trade talks weren't going fast enough. he spoke to reporters about the delay last night. >> president trump: she asked for an extension on the june 1st date. we had a very nice call and i agreed to july 9th would be the date. that was the date she requested. could we move it from june 1st to july 9th? i agree to do that. she said we'll rapidly get together and see if we can work

something out. >> julie: lucas tomlinson is live at the white house with reaction. >> good morning, julie. that's right. president trump said he would delay putting in those 50% tariffs on the 27 nation european union after that call with the president of the e.u. commission. more about that phone call. >> president trump: she said she wants to get down to serious negotiation because i told you specifically, i fold anybody that would listen. they have to do that. >> this morning president trump posted to truth social countries from all over the world want to make trade deals with us. it's a beautiful thing to see. good old usa will soon have tremendous growth and be stronger than ever before. the new tariffs on europe were set to launch next week after president trump expressed a lot of frustration with the slow pace of the trade talks. european asian markets soreed at the news this morning. u.s. markets are closed in honor of memorial day following deals trump made with china and the

u.k. to lower tariffs. this is from yesterday. >> they do need our market a lot more than we need theirs. at the same time, the iowa farmer, my friends back home that sell their exports to china also would like those markets open. >> some members of congress would like to have a word about those tariffs saying according to the constitution it is congress that should be regulating tariffs. now in the next few minutes president trump will be departing for arlington national cemetery to mark memorial day. the president will lay a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier, julie. >> julie: thank you. >> bill: joining us for more on all this is economist steve moore. great to see you. when it comes to the e.u., we're seeing the art of the deal in action, right? trump wasn't happy with the way the talks were progressing so he says we'll slap 50% tariffs.

the e.u. says no, no, no, they had a phone call. now trump is extending the deadline to july. this is how the sausage is made when it comes to negotiations, right? >> good morning. happy memorial day. you took the words right out of my mouth, my friend. it is the art of the deal. nobody is better at this than donald trump. he made this announcement a week ago that he was going to impose these stiff tariffs on the europeans if they didn't come to the negotiating table. you are right. the president was getting very frustrated with the europeans they weren't making a deal and he slapped this tariff threat on them and lo and behold they are ready to negotiate. it was an olive branch by the europeans. now they have to negotiate the deal. i would like to make one point, bill, which is that the europeans do impose a lot higher

tariffs and non-tariff trade barriers on our goods and services, whether it's agriculture, manufactured products and so on. so all trump is -- i'm not a big tariff guy but i do believe that it should be a level playing field and that's exactly what trump will get out of the europeans when they start negotiating. >> bill: here is what scott bessent said last week when trump initially made the threat about the 50% tariffs. listen. >> i would hope that this would light a fire under the e.u. e.u. has a collective action problem here. it is 27 countries but they are being represented by this one group in brussels. so some of the feedback that i've been getting is that the underlying countries don't even know what the e.u. is negotiating on their behalf. >> bill: he said he hoped it would light a fire under the e.u. it sounds like it did. >> yeah. by the way scott bessent, who

has turned out to be a very effective treasury secretary said it well. you have 16, 18, 20 of the european union members and it is a big bureaucracy there in the e.u. and my joke is the only thing the europeans can agree on they don't want to pay nato dues. this makes it difficult to make a deal when you have this unelected bureaucracy there. look, think about this. two or three weeks ago he gets the deal with the britts and then a week after that we have a deal at least on paper with the chinese. if he can get the europeans to agree, he has made incredible progress. now the next step once you get the trade deals done. the other thing we have to do is get that tax bill done. we have to get that on the president's desk by fourth of july. by the way, what a fourth of july it would be if we could have a big bill signing ceremony then. when those two things happen, bill, i'm here to tell you this

morning on memorial day we'll see the biggest boom in the u.s. economy once the tariffs get done and the tax deal. >> bill: "the new york times" is throwing cold water on the idea of the tariffs. their headline since trump's e.u. tariff could cause economic damage beyond europe and hurt the u.s. economy and slow growth globally. your thoughts on that headline there. >> well, that would be true but what they are missing is that trump will get a deal here. he will create a level playing field. fairness in trade, all trump is asking for. when that gets done we have freer and fairer trade and all countries will be better off. that's what "the new york times" is missing. i would never bet against donald trump when it comes to negotiating. >> bill: that is his specialty. the art of the deal. we'll see how these negotiations play out. great to see you.

thanks for coming on. >> thank you. >> julie: president trump's big, beautiful bill is sent to the senate. speaker mike johnson urging the senate not to make major changes to the bill. senior congressional correspondent chad pergram has the latest. chad. >> good morning, julie. expect the senate to make changes. some conservatives demand deeper spending cuts. others are focused on possible reductions to medicare and medicaid. house speaker mike johnson, as you say, hopes the bill stays as is. changes are nearly inevitable. >> president trump: i want to senate and senators to change -- to make the changes they want and we'll go back to the house and see if we can get them. some will be minor and some will be fairly significant. >> the trick is crafting a bill that could make it through the senate but also stand up in the

house. some house republicans voted in favor of the house version but they did not like the carve out for salt. that's a deduction for state and local taxes. there is concern about the deficit. >> i am glad the senate will have. this salt agreement will add $385 billion to our deficit spending putting us up about $415 billion total more spending than we did this last year. we can't afford that. >> gop wisconsin senator ron johnson will demand deeper spending cuts. he is one of three republican senators to watch right now. rand paul opposes a debt ceiling hike. josh hawley warns against medicaid cuts and then there is johnson. >> one of my disappointments with the house process, the only number we heard is 1.5 trillion which sounds like a lot but it is only $150 billion per year and this is put in context of

the fact that in 2019 we spent 4.4 trillion. this year we'll spend over $7 trillion. >> john thune wants the bill passed by the next big holiday, july 4th. it is a crash to wrap it up on such a tight time frame. it may eventually be hard for the house and senate to ever approve the same bill. julie. >> julie: thank you so much. bill. >> bill: julie, louisiana officials arresting five more people in connection with one of the biggest jails breaks the state has ever seen. that now brings the total number of alleged conspirators to 12. a few of the suspects were in court over the weekend. they are being held on bonds north of a million dollars. in the meantime five of the escaped inmates are still at large. police say they should be considered armed and dangerous. >> president trump: i'm not happy with what putin is doing.

he is killing a lot of people. i don't know what the hell happened to putin. i've known him a long time. always got along with him but he is sending rockets into cities and killing people and i don't like it at all. >> bill: you hear it there. president trump voicing serious frustration over vladimir putin following a massive drone attack on ukraine. is this a game-changing moment in u.s. policy towards russia? plus an escalating showdown. the president and harvard now squaring off over international students. we'll have the latest on all that back and forthcoming up next. ♪

>> bill: president trump and harvard ramping up their feud over international students. the president now demanding a list of names of all students from overseas and he is still waiting for that list. griff jenkins joining us live in washington with more on this. griff, this just keeps escalating. >> it sure does. good morning, bill. president trump is railing against the ivy league school today in a series of truth social posts this morning. first thing this. i'm considering taking $3 billion of grant money away from

a very anti-semitic are viread and giving it to trade schools across our land. what a great investment that would be for the usa and so badly needed. this comes, bill, after harvard sued and a federal judge temporarily blocked administration stripping the school of its ability to enroll international students on foreign visas which trump continued to assail yesterday. watch. >> president trump: part of the problem with harvard there are 31% of foreigners coming to harvard. we give them billions of dollars, which is ridiculous. we do grants, which we're probably not going to be doing much grants anymore to harvard. 31%. but they refuse to tell us who the people are. >> this all began last month when dhs demanded the university hand over records of foreign students who participated in illegal and violent activities which trump now claims has not been received. on truth social this morning saying we're still waiting for

the foreign student list from harvard so we can determine after a ridiculous expenditure of billions of dollars how many troublemakers should not be let into into our country. harvard says they have provided the administration and it leaves international students in limbo. >> we are all overwhelmed. time of uncertainty. like it's -- i've never experienced it before. >> up next in this feud a hearing has been set for thursday to determine whether the temporary order should be extended. bill. >> bill: and trump's point has been with an endowment of more than $50 billion why are any tax dollars going to this school? griff jenkins live in d.c. great to see you. >> thank you. >> for putin ukraine is a threat not because they represent a military threat to russia but because what scares putin is

most is democracy. he could never allow the country like ukraine with a sizeable russian speaking population to build a democracy and enjoy commercial ties and strategic ties to the west, to europe and the united states. >> julie: former c.i.a. station chief dan hoffman. president trump appears to be running out of patience with putin. he posted on truth social yesterday saying i have always had a good relationship with vladimir putin of russia. something has happened to him. he has gone absolutely crazy. he is needlessly killing a lot of people. this is not trump's war. i'm only helping to put out the fire. the big and ugly fires that have been started through gross incompetence and hatred. here to weigh in is a foreign policy analyst and policy director at the u.s./israel education association.

thank you for talking to us. >> good to be here. >> julie: those are strong words coming from president trump to putin, who he has maintained he has always said he had a good working relationship with. what do you think of trump slamming putin saying he is not happy with the russian president after the strike against ukraine and surprised at what he is seeing and that new sanctions, new u.s. sanctions on russia were a possibility. what will it take to finally get russia to agree to a cease-fire? this war has been going on for three years now. >> first, i want to thank those that have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country and especially to the parents, families of those who live with this every day to give us this opportunity to be here. look, vladimir putin is going to push and he is going to escalate until someone pushes and escalates back. he is looking right now at the west. he is looking at president trump. and he thinks he is weak and not going to step up and challenge

him. and he is wrong. i think we can expect president trump to issue secondary sanctions on russia in the coming days and weeks. but i think even bigger than that, russia's economy is dependent on oil and gas revenue. i think part of the president's recent trip to the middle east is to bring down the price of oil as we've seen in the past year. it has dropped $0.40 a gallon. the overall price needs to continue dropping to hurt the russian economy so they can't continue to fund this war effort. the president is -- vladimir putin is trying to get ukraine to surrender. i think that's why we're seeing such massive attacks in the past few days. and he understands that he has an opportunity right now to try to change the battlefield for any future negotiations. >> julie: the problem with that, though, ukrainian president zelenskyy is not backing down nor is putin. what will break this deal? something has to give.

zelenskyy wrote this in an x post on the u.s. silence he is calling on the war saying that it is emboldening putin. the world may go on a weekend break but the war continues regardless of weekends and weekdays. this cannot be ignored. silence of america, silence of others around the world only encourage putin. now zelenskyy has stuck his foot in his mouth a few times when it comes to president trump and trump does not handle it well. you saw the two awkwardly reacting to one another in the white house. zelenskyy needs to keep his mouth closed when it comes to insulting president trump when he has got to have trump in his pocket. >> look, without the support of the united states, we wouldn't even be having this conversation right now about the future of ukraine and the war with russia. it wouldn't be happening. he needs to keep his mouth shut and stop criticizing president trump. president trump is not a typical president. he is not a typical negotiator.

it is why he has his book the art of the deal. he makes his deals the way he sees the best way to go about them. he is working to make a deal with putin and zelenskyy and he is doing it in a non-traditional way and zelenskyy needs to give president trump the latitude to make that happen. criticizing him publicly is not going to make a deal any easier because putin will look and say trump is not going to actually put the pressure on me when zelenskyy is criticizing him. >> julie: i agree. switching gears a moment. trump is pushing to quickly stop the situation going on between israel and hamas in gaza. here are the president's comments on israel and hamas. listen. >> president trump: i think we could have some good news on the iran front. likewise with hamas on the gaza. we want to see if we can stop that, israel we're talking to

them and see if we can stop that whole situation as quickly as possible. >> julie: like ukraine, israel has the united states support but it needs for hamas to cooperate. you can't cooperate with terrorists. where does this leave israel? >> israel needs to continue doing what they've been doing which is decimate hamas, its capabilities and to continue taking over areas of gaza to clear it. not just of hamas and the terrorists but the infrastructure there. the tunnel system. also to find the hostages both living and dead, including four deceased americans that hamas has been holding for nearly 600 days. president trump is not calling for israel to end the war with hamas and let them survive. he wants this war to end and end quickly. the world needs to step up and start calling on hamas and those enabling them, including iran, to bring an end to this war. for hamas to release the hostages and for hamas to disarm

and leave the gaza strip. if there is to be any future for the people in gaza. >> julie: thank you very much for talking to us. >> it's almost certain that joe biden had this cancer while he was president. that either means that he had cancer and his doctor did not catch it or it means that they did catch it and didn't disclose it. >> bill: shocking new reports on former president biden's declining health raising new questions of an alleged cover-up by his team. house republicans now pushing to get answers. plus the trump administration launching an unprecedented investigation into washington state's youth sports. how will the evergreen states new trans sports law play out. ♪

>> julie: president trump clears the way for what he calls a partnership with japan's nipion steel and u.s. steel deal. despite that deal the iconic american company's headquarters will still be in pittsburgh. >> president trump: it will be controlled by the united states. otherwise i wouldn't make the deal. they will invest millions of dollars in steel and it is a good company, nisson is a good company. it will be control by the usa. >> julie: great news. it keeps jobs in pennsylvania. there are still details being worked out that the president says the deal will create at least 70,000 jobs and add $14 billion to the u.s. economy. this move reverses former president biden's decision to initially block the deal. >> bill: more stunning reports on former president joe biden's

decline. a former aide admits to doing undemocratic things to try to get biden reelected. axios reporter alex thompson on "fox news sunday." >> these aides were not senate confirmed. unelected people. a lot of these people believe that donald trump was and is a threat to democracy. you can rationalize anything including sometimes doing undream congratulateic things which i think is what this person is talking about. >> bill: a lot to talk about here. we want to bring in angie wong, a miami gop committee woman and j jose awristty moonio. house republicans are pledging there will be investigation into what happened with the alleged cover-up. listen to jim jordan. >> i think chairman comer will lead this investigation and look at the folks making the decision.

it wasn't joe biden. we can talk to these folks. my guess is they'll try to assert some privilege if we bring them in. but i think it is right in your lead there you talk about it is supposed to be people who put their name on the ballot, who are elected by we the people who make the decisions, not supposed to be other folks who aren't elected or in this case aren't confirmed by the united states senate. >> bill: angie, are you worried there is any potential fatigue into all these constant investigations into the biden family? he is out of office now. >> i don't believe it is any fatigue whatsoever. americans and jim jordan have the right to be angry. what we just witnessed were unelected officials running the country for the last four years. we witnessed four years of theater. so we have the right to investigate what was actually going on behind the scenes. we want to know why did democrats bypass is american voter and install their own

activist leaders to run the country? i want to know who and when they knew this was going on and who was actually running the country. i think those are relevant questions to be asking right now. >> bill: democrats are looking for a new leader now. anybody to take the party in a new direction. listen to what david hogg has to say about representative jasmine crockett. he thinks she is somebody who can move the party forward. listen. >> i think jasmine is frankly the type of leader we're looking to support in some sense. somebody out there that doesn't give a damn what the other side elected republicans in congress say and say what they believe in and you know even if you don't agree with her you know what she stands for. she makes it very clear. people are craving that right now. >> bill: but here are some of congresswoman crockett's recent comments. listen to this. >> y'all know we have governor

hot wheels down there. come on now. the only thing hot about him is that he is a hot [bleep] mess. let me tell you we have a thug in charge of the united states. but like this dude has to be knocked over the head like hard. on march 29th it is my birthday. all i want to see happen on my birthday is for elon to be taken down. >> if you speak directly to elon musk what would you say? >> [bleep] >> bill: all right, is she the way forward for democrats? >> she is certainly not. i have to tell you we have to go back to jfk politics. the democrats need to have a great american reset. we need to go back to center. republicans and trump are doing a good job in bringing non-political actors into the fray making america healthy again, ceo of they are doing

things the american people care about. what republicans are doing so well is they are controlling the narrative with president biden's health drama, with border security, until democrats do not start speaking and giving solutions to the problems that the american people are facing we'll continue to -- i do believe that democrats have the better answers. but we're not talking about it. >> bill: jose and angie, thank you for coming on today on this memorial day. great to see you both and thank you for your time. talk soon. >> happy memorial day thank you. >> julie: justice and education department joining forces for an investigation into washington state's laws regarding transgender students and whether they violate federal law. dan springer is live in seattle with that story. dan. >> hi, julie. the trump administration says it's clear that washington state's laws on transgender issues violate a host of federal

laws. this newly formed joint task force is a way to make the crackdown quicker. students here stand out from the rest of the state for what is fought part of their education. teachers don't ask them for preferred pronouns or alternate names. if they identify as transgender a meeting is set up with parents. school officials say not to out them but to include the most important people in important lives. >> if i leave the parents out i erode that trust and i'm expected to call home if they want to use sunscreen. . but if they change their gender identity, i shouldn't call home? >> they call it a pro-family policy and is fighting to keep state funding because state law says parents must be kept in the dark if that's what students want. two sets of school records, one parents can see and one they can't.

that has triggered and unprecedented -- linda mcmahon writes washington state appears to use its position of authority to coerce its district into hiding gender identity information from students' parents and to adopt policies to covertly smuggle gender ideology into the classroom. some female athletes are speaking out. this girl says she competed and lost the three biological boys in the last year. >> i don't want it to keep happening to other girls or other girls to experience this. if i need to stand up for other girls i will. >> state school superintendent is digging in calling the federal investigation an alarming attempt to infringe on the rights of our transgender and gender expansive students. >> millions of dollars are at stake here. not only in washington state but also all of its school districts. in la center alone they get 80%

witnesses to diddy's despicable acts. what will come down next? >> the prosecution will be bringing more of these similar witnesses that we have seen in the last two weeks. they are inching their way to proving their case or trying to prove their case against diddy. that would be the charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and those are weighty charges. right now what we've seen from the witnesses that the prosecution called is a lot of salacious material and evidence and testimony but not necessarily what goes to the meat and potatoes of the charges and to the heart of the charges. so the prosecution is going to really have to bring that evidence in if they will be able to connect the dots at the end of this case as to those federal charges. >> julie: deanne yeah, the rapper testified the drama was getting out of hand. i wanted to give her some space for my safety and her safety.

what possible impact could this testimony have on this case do you think? >> one of the charges is federal racketeering. and his testimony went to this idea, one of the predicate acts the government has to prove for the racketeering charge. racketeering is an interesting charge that is a good tool for prosecutors. they can string together a number of acts that otherwise would have to be prosecuted independently. they don't have to show sean combs himself engaged in it. throwing a molotov cocktail at the porch. one of the predicate acts of the racketeering offense it is helpful to prove the charge. >> julie: the situation on january 9, 2012, cuddy learned that a molotov cocktail that deanna mentioned had been thrown

inside of a car tearing away the inside of the vehicle and he decided to call combs and i quote because i knew he had something to do with the car being firebombed. now the question is how do you link the firebombing to diddy? does the prosecution have that? >> i think they have it circumstantially but not direct evidence. the direct evidence linking diddy to that arson. it is a conspiracy charge. he doesn't actually have to throw the molotov cocktail. he has to be part of the larger conspiracy or even directing the actions of his subordinates to do so. what is interesting about the molotov cocktail allegation is it's akin to what we would see from the mafia, from the mob. that's really the link from the prosecution's standpoint of taking diddy's business empire, his music entertainment empire

and business and linking it to a criminal enterprise. that's what they will have to do if they are going to prove the racketeering elements and aspects of this case. i think that fact or allegation we see with cuddy's car is what likens it for the jury to a criminal enterprise like the mafia. >> julie: if i were the prosecution here, i would give this as a perfect example when the defense comes out and says why didn't anybody speak up sooner? he was like the mafia. he silenced any victims or witnesses and you saw what happened to the car. so those who were in on his dealings were afraid to speak up, i would say, if i was prosecutor in this case. look what the circumstances were. that was the molotov cocktail. what is next? somebody has blood on their hands possibly, who knows what this guy is capable of considering his heinous alleged crimes. deanna, the final word. >> it's what the prosecution is

going to have to argue in this case. we've seen from cassie's testimony and after that is an attempt to corroborate everything she said. when you look at the charges it is federal sex trafficking and federal racketeering and we haven't seen evidence of that up to this point. it is early into the trial. right now we've seen evidence of a bad domestic abuser but not -- >> julie: thank you both for coming on today. thank you. bill. >> bill: severe storms blasting across the country putting a damper on weekend travel plans. what it means for today's holiday celebrations and trying to get back home again. ♪

driving, drive at off-peak times. gas the cheaper than last year. a lot of people will be driving instead of flying to avoid the air traffic control and weather issues and other issues we've been experiencing. just be pro-active and be patient. >> bill: to that point with more people driving about 87% of travelers are driving rather than flying. but to your point when it comes to flying and all a issues we've been seeing in the headlines we can pull up the data from these air traffic issues we've been hearing. seems like almost every day we have a new headline about air traffic control problems. a lot of them in newark and houston, denver, atlanta as well. i'm hearing it from some of my friends. people are getting skittish about flying overall it is a safe mode of travel. what are you hearing talking to folks? are you starting to sense a little more stress when it comes to flying with all these

headlines? >> i think there is definitely a little more stress. there is no way to avoid it since the beginning of the year since the crash in washington, d.c. there has been a lot of issues one after another whether it comes to airline safety and almost accidents, that type of thing, to the issues with air traffic controls, outdated technology. people trying to open the door on planes like you guys just showed. it is crazy. still the safest mode of travel. i won't walk from california to new york. i will still fly. it is like one of those things we'll have to deal with and, you know, it is probably going to be a rough summer because this air traffic control issue is not just newark. it just happens to be the worst there. it is outdated technology. we don't have enough people. covid was a big culprit in that. there is just not enough people being trained. the training is difficult and hard to find reliable people. each airport and metro area is

different. it is not like you can plug people in. they have to be trained for specific airports in metro areas and it will be tough sledding this summer. but again it is still the best way to travel. >> bill: real nice if people would stop opening doors or airplanes or acting out on airplanes when flying is enough of an issue as it is. thanks for coming on this memorial day. >> thank you. >> julie: that's a lot to ask for people to stop opening doors in midair, come on. all right. president trump expecting to lay a wreath at arlington national cemetery. we're monitoring his departure from the white house happening any minute now to honor our nation's fallen heroes on this memorial day. we leave you with the exciting finish at the indy 500. alex palou taking the checkered flag making history as the first spaniard to win the indycar classic.
