that's why after 50 years of us exchanging in parliament, we have decided to join hands precisely to keep that lot out of government. the day they get in to the doors of the union police in south africa or control of our parliament, that's what you're going to see. that's why this government working together needs the support of our allies around the world to that we can strengthen and grow our economy and shut the door forever on that rabble getting to the doors. then south africa's future -- >> that type of language in the video that you saw. >> is government, as my own party, we are completely opposed to that. we in 1955 adopted a document which said south africa belongs to all in it. >> president trump: why wouldn't you arrest that man?

that man said kill the white farmers, killed white farmers and then he danced and he's dancing, dancing. kill the white farmers. i think -- i'm not sure but i think if somebody got up in parliament and started saying kill a certain group of people, that you would be -- he would be arrested very quickly. that man is going all over south africa. that's not a small party. that was a stadium that holds 100,000 people. i hardly saw an empty seat. that's a lot of people. that's a lot of representation. those crosses, we have dead white people. dead white farmers mostly. you take a look at australia. they are being inundated and we are being inundated with people that want to get out. their farm is valueless. they just want to get out with their life. this is a very serious situation. we had real news, real press,

real media. we don't have that. they won't talk about this. they are all guys like that idiot. if we had a real press, it would be exposed. you know the beauty of exposing it is, it's like a cleansing action permanent gets exposed it will get fixed. people don't talk about it. the thousands of people fleeing south africa are talking about it. >> reporter: discussing usaid. across the african continent. >> president trump: it's devastating. hopefully a lot of people are going to start spending a lot of money. i have talked to other nations. we want them to chip in and spend money too. we spent a lot. it's a tremendous problem going on. in many countries, a lot of problems going on. the united states always gets the request for money.

nobody else helps us. europe doesn't help. europe hasn't given anything. all they do is to our companies. they sue apple and they sue all of our companies. apple had to pay $17 billion on a nonsense lawsuit, very unfair. we are going to always be there to help. >> reporter: if this issue is resolved, what is the potential for the future? >> president trump: it's fantastic. it's got to be resolved. it should be resolved. it's a little bit bad when you see is dating with a hundred thousand people in it because that means it's more than just a little movement. it's pretty big movement in south africa. has to be resolved. it will be the end of the country if it's not. >> reporter: potential for relationship moving forward. >> president trump: i hope so. that's why i'm here. i'm not here for my health. [laughter] i have friends.

i can tell you. they feel so strongly, they wanted to be here on behalf of south africa. not on behalf of me. they said, can we be here for this? they love the country. ernie, do you want to say a couple words? i hate to put you in -- this is tougher than sinking a 3-footer. [laughter] they have sank many 3-footers. >> thank you, mr. president. thank you for the honor of being here. we've known each other a long time. we have spoken. we are proud south africans. i still have my south african passport. we travel with this passport. i have my visa yet. we want to see things get better in our home country. that's the bottom line. it's been 35 years since the

transition. president ramaphosa was right in the middle of the transition in 1990. so it's been 35 years of anc government. i know there's a lot of anger through the transition. a lot of stuff happening in apartheid days. we grew up in apartheid. but i don't think two wrongs makes a right. president mandela, when he came out of prison for all that time didn't come out with hatred. you know? really unified our nation through sport. we won the world cup in '95. >> four times. >> we won the african nations kept in soccer. we won some majors as golfers

and so forth. so what i'm trying to say is this has been a long time co coming. that's why we really wanted to meet you, the administration, and see our way forward. we still want to see our country flourish. we've got some great things going on. businesses getting involved with government. farming. farmers are getting involved in local municipalities trying to rebuild some of the infrastructure that's been decaying for a long time. so there is a of existence going on and help from a lot of areas. we need, i feel we need the u.s. to push this thing through. we've got a great ally if we can have the u.s. always been an ally of south africa for a very long

time. even in the days of the war, you know, in angola. you helped us. very important for us to have your support. get the change we need. >> president trump: did you do that well. he might have done that even better than he plays golf which is a most impossible. johan, please. [indistinct] you'll see i'm the biggest target. number one for over ten years. in fact the first time i met him he was in a youth league with that gentleman. look how he's changed. we have too many deaths. it's across the board. it's not only white farmers.

it's across the board. we need technological help. we need drones. i got drones to stop elephant and rhino poaching. his predecessors stopped the importation because he said the united states would spy on us. so if you can help us, remember, sir, you and i lived in new york and the '70s. we never thought new york would be what it became. commissioners, a tough mirror. we need your help to stop this awful killing. but it's across the board. [indistinct]

i am building three cottages for my grandchildren on the farm. i often go to bed without locking the door. we have a serious problem with illegal aliens. they stream across the border. if you really look at our statistics, a lot of these murderers, firstly it's unemployment. and illegal aliens. and then i met the vice president many years ago. my wife loved his book. she reminded me this morning that you emphasized the devastation that occurs when big companies leave towns and cities and there's a culture of dependency that develops. i remember you discussing it. that's our problem.

if we don't get our economy to grow, the culture of dependency and the lawlessness will increase. i have been against apartheid all my life. and i am their number one target. please just google my name. you will see it. >> president trump: the crime is bad. >> the crime is terrible, sir. the biggest murder rate is indicate flat. in the cape flat. we've got gang warfare, like your ms-13, these guys? we've got the equivalent. but we need your help, sir. and we need elon's technology. >> one of the real areas of support is really in investments. we've got to grow our economy. through growing the economy we

are able to create more jobs because crime really thrives where there is inequality and unemployment. and that is one of the recent that has brought us here, to improve our investment relations, our trade relations. so that we can preserve the number of jobs that your companies have created in south africa by virtue of what we export to you, we are able to create up to 500,000 jobs. in the auto industry, in the agricultural industry, a number of other industries where we ask for things to you. we know as south african companies invest here, you're able to create jobs. it's a mutually beneficial relationship. our main real reason for being here is to foster trade and investment so that we are able

to grow our economy. your support. so that we are also able to address all the societal problems because criminality thrives when people are unemployed, when there is no other hope to eke out a living. that is what we need to resolve. your support, your partnership with us, is what is really going to give us a strong, strong capability to move forward. >> president trump: excuse me, do you have anything to say? i don't want to leave you out. the guy won three or four majors. three or four? >> only two. >> president trump: that's a lot. two is a lot. a lot of tournaments he went to. do you have anything to say? >> thank you, mr. president. president ramaphosa. i grew up in an area in south africa of farmland. there are some issues out there.

my dad was a developer as well as a part-time farmer. some of these farmers got ki killed. the farm is still going. my brothers run it. it's a constant battle with farms -- for they are trying to burn the farms down to chase you away. so it is a concern to try make a living as a farmer. at the end, without farmers, there's no food on a plate so we need the farmers to produce the food. >> president trump: he wouldn't want to do what you're doing. they love farming. it's a struggle. >> food and fresh waters the most important thing in life. without those two things from you can't survive. >> president trump: how was the water? >> the water is great. obviously all the water comes out of ground for us. it is a battle to get the water out sometimes. all the equipment gets stolen

all the time. >> president trump: your family and your brother, do they feel safe on the farm? >> they live behind electric fences. it is constant, whenever you leave, that something could happen. people have been attacked in their houses. my mom was attacked in her house when she was 80. it is difficult. but they live a great life despite everything going on. >> president trump, i brought along the president of the largest trade union in our country because she leads many, many workers. more than 1 million, 2 million workers. maybe we should give her a chance to say something. she has come all the way to join

us. >> thank you for extending the invitation to us. i must say we are here to support the initiatives that has been made by our government with business of course. we have been coming to washington. trade relations in the previous regime and i think at the center of it all for me, it is exactly what was said. the importance of us growing the economy. we have always emphasized disco negotiating, they 600 u.s. companies that are based in south africa, as you said, president ramaphosa, 500,000 jobs wo would be wiped out. we need more investment in our country. we are not just talking about those that will lose employment but you're talking about over

40% of people that are unemployed who have no hope of ever finding a job. we think that we need to deal with the issue of porous borders and our country so that everyone that comes in is documented. we also need -- i would love if the minister would address the issue of how the police works in south south africa. as you are preparing to come here, there was a hand over. white farmers were saying we are donating the land but also there is a willing seller in south africa. there is no expropriation without compensation. but it is the willing seller in that white farmer was even saying that the government is

paying more in buying the land than what the land is worth. i think those are the realities, president, that we must say that we need to address of course. but also the importance of agriculture linked to our goal. people rely on it for survival in living. but lastly it's also the issue of the crime statistics. there is no doubt about it that we are a violent nation. for a number of reasons. we're not condoning anything. but also if you go into the rural areas where black majority are, you would see women, elderly being raped, being killed. these are black elderly women.

that would be found, throats slates, raped multiple times and all of that. the problem in south africa, it is not necessarily about race but it is about crime. how do we work together to reset? to really talk about investment but also help us in how we can help the technology and everything that is needed to really address the levels of crime that we have in our country. >> reporter: genocide is a very strong word. i'm wondering if you have made up your mind is whether you believe genocide is occurring in south africa or if you have doubts and if you have made up your mind, why invite president ramaphosa here today. >> president trump: i haven't made up my mind. i hate to see it from the same point of south africa but i am trying to save lives. i am working with russia and ukraine. i don't have to do that. it's not our war. it was started by other people.

helped along by our past administration. would have never happen if i were present but i'm trying to save lives no matter where. wrote wanda. i've nothing to do with rwanda and the congo. but i felt i had a talented person in this administration and i sent them there. he did an unbelievable job i think. i mean, we are going to find out. he has done the hardest part of the job. it should happen. if i can save lives, i want to save the lives. if it's in africa, that's great. if it's in europe, where it may be. it's a very small investment to do compared to what the consequences are so i hope we can do something. look, i have so many friends. these two men, i have great admiration for them because i know what they do for a living and that's a very hard living, going from city to city, country to country and hitting a ball 350 yards like they do.

and getting the ball in the hole. it's very tough, with lots of people watching. it's a very living. they are champions. i respect champions. and i respect very much. i think the country is very lucky. they really wanted to be here. they could be elsewhere. they could be on a beautiful fairway someplace they wanted to be here. >> reporter: i am from newsroom africa. in south africa. how important is it for the united states to be at the g20 summit in november given the relationship between our two countries? you've just heard what's been said to you just now. are you coming? are you preparing to come? >> president trump: without the united states, the g20, just like the g7, used to be the g8 but brilliantly they threw russia out. would've been a lot better if russia was in. it would say -- if russia was in, you probably

wouldn't have this war. if you have a different president you wouldn't have the war either but we have a g7. it's important that the united states is in both of them. i think without the united states, i really believe it's not very important. it's not the same meeting. >> as i said to president trump, the u.s. really originated the g20. it's important that the united states continues to play a key role. in the g20. we are privileged to be the president of the g20 but we are overjoyed that they're going to head over to the united states, the originators, for that reason, i expect the united states to continue playing the leadership role in the g20 together with other countries. i have said when i initially spoke to president trump on the phone, i want him to come to south africa for a state visit

and i also want him to participate in the g20. and i want to gladly hand over to president trump to take the leadership of the g20 forward. in november. >> president trump: thank you very much. thank you very much. thank you. thank you. [reporters clamoring] >> thanks, everybody. thank you. keep going. thank you. >> sandra: taking in every last moment, an incredible moment. another open to the cameras moment in the oval office meeting with the south african president. president trump there. very open conversation. at one point the president's staff playing out a video

showing these claims of genocide inside south africa which its leader has refuted. an amazing moment, trace. welcome, i'm sandra smith in new york, to watch this in real time. >> i am trace gallagher in los angeles. john roberts has the day. this is "america reports." it was fascinating because it became this kind of very congenial press conference between the south african president, cyril ramaphosa, as well as president trump. they had golfers ernie els, retief goosen. he was very fun and then they played a video of these allegations. these groups that elon musk has pointed out, the economic freedom fighters that believe that there is genocide. they have called for genocide in south africa, this time against white farmers. president trump was given those farmers refugee status, he was asked about whether he believes

there is genocide and he said he didn't know but he clearly is concerned that some white farmers in south africa are being targeted because he has done many things to try to alleviate those harms. >> sandra: another moment of transparency from this white house. this went for about an hour and 6 minutes, trace. let's bring in peter doocy standing by. not only did they play out the video but also talking about the g20. president trump saying he feels it's important for south africa to look good at the g20. he at one point held up copies of articles about south african saying these are depths, depths. what is the reaction so far? >> sandra and trace, i didn't even know that you could dim the lights in the oval office which is decades old. seems like place it would just have a on or off switch. but president trump called for the lights to be doomed so that

he could show this multimedia presentation to basically call the visiting south african president's bluff. the south african president came here to say there is no genocide happening in south africa. president trump basically said "okay. once all of this? was what he showed political leaders and opposition leaders in south africa saying some heinous and violent things for several minutes and he just made the south african president and the rest of the south african delegations at their in a half k room and watch it. afterwards president trump did want to talk about trade and his visiting famous golfer friends from south africa got to speak. he said he has not made up his mind despite the presentation he had his staff cut and put forward. he's not made up his mind about whether there is genocide happening. something the south african team strenuously denies.

it's worth pointing out that it's definitely the most awkward oval office meeting since zelenskyy was here. it ended a little bit better. i can see the vehicle. it's not leaving. the south african delegation is not leaving early. they will be sticking around for lunch. really when you watch that, it seems like the trump foreign policy doctrine is a lot like the old slogan for the mtv show the real world where people stop being polite and start getting real. that's what we saw from president trump. >> trace: one was a good question from the south african reporter asking about the g20 summit in november. president trump said it was important that the united states be present at that, didn't really commit to actually going to the g20 summit. that something yet to be seen. but i'm wondering about elon musk's hand in all of this. we know he is south african. elon musk has complained again and again about the starling

satellite provider not allowed to operate in south africa primarily because he is white. i am wondering what the reaction was and how much it played into the videotaped playing in the lights being dimmed and the oval office. >> the two things in order. president trump saying that the united states should be at the g20, doesn't necessarily mean he's going to go, just that they should have a presence and there's been talk at the state department about whether or not they should be engaging with anything early. the g20 comes with many, many summits in the country, the host country throughout the year before all the leaders go. so it doesn't necessarily mean president trump himself is going to go. as for elon musk, he has accused south african politicians from denying star link service because he is not black. he says the black business people are being prioritized over him but what we heard from the south african delegation is that they really want starling.

they think it could be a help to them in addressing some of the crime that they are dealing with. some of the gang issues and improving business and if they are going to be talking about trade than it seems like they're going to work something out for elon musk to start using starling fair. >> sandra: peter doocy live at the white house. keep us posted. we will get back to you. the vehicle is still waiting. let's bring in "special report" anchor bret baier. great to have you. as we watch the door of the white house. the point of the south african president's visit, they said before this, was to reset relations with the u.s. amid these claims of white genocide in south africa. the south african president brought along these golfers, ernie els and retief goosen. retief goosen attempted to follow through. listen.

>> they left behind electric fences. it is constant, whenever you leave that something could happen. being attacked in their houses. my mom was attacked in her house when she was 80. it is difficult. but the guys live a great life despite everything going on. >> the president says he has huge concerns over what's happening. he said he has heard thousands of stories of this type of violence. what did you think? >> you pointed out before, it is pretty amazing to see this level of diplomacy, this openness. we have now seen it a number of different times. at long length taking question after question were essentially the behind-the-scenes conversations are right and everybody's living room. that's number one. number two, i've never seen the

video presentation to backup when someone says "that's not happening," and then there's the video. i think that was definitely planned to show the south african president what he is hearing and the allegations he is seeing. the south africans by bringing ernie els and retief goosen were playing their card because they know president trump loves golf. listen to them as being kind of a moderating force between the government and also these allegations and trying to get to some solutions. it was fascinating when the question came about the qatar jet from nbc's peter alexander, the president wanted none of that even though today the defense department accepted that chat for the u.s. air force. and then the south african president said "i'm sorry we don't have a jet to give you, a plane to give you." i thought it was fascinating. it could be an interesting thing whether the president does go to the g20 in south africa.

>> trace: i thought it was interesting, you make a good point when you had ernie els and retief goosen but it was interesting that they seemed to be very aware and very much concerned about the president's argument. their whole thing was talking about their families and the farmers they have and their families. the pressure that they have faced. having to be behind these electric fences. they seem to be very much on board that there is a problem going on in south africa right now. >> i think that was the point. johan rupert, he is the chairman of the luxury goods company, big billionaire in south africa, you heard him speak as well. ernie els and retief goosen and johan rupert were saying let's keep the country together and not fall into a civil war. to try to establish this relationship between the u.s. and south africa and acknowledge the problems that are on the ground. there is another set of leaders

that are really pushing saying this has to stop and really getting those allegations, those stories out there that he had, the president did, stack of papers on. >> sandra: this obviously is all happening after president trump cut off foreign aid to south africa, alleging that the south african white farmers were the victims of genocide. the question that was put to the reporter near the end to the president directly was, is this genocide by definition? is this what you are claiming is happening? interesting his response there. it wasn't a "yes" or "no." >> he said he didn't know. he was going to investigate more than they were going to have talks behind close doors. the talks they just had in front of very open doors were really illuminating i think, as you look at the -- outside the west wing. every leader has to be prepared now for the possible will zelenskyy press moment. i guess the south african president was aware this could

happen. it was quite something to see it unfold over the last hour. >> trace: it's amazing to me to know what is the m.o. behind the white house? what's the idea behind this? what are they trying to convey when you have these press conferences that become these open forums for robust debate? >> i think they are trying to say what we say to you that's happening behind the scenes is happening behind the scenes. we are seeing those same things to world leaders, pressing them on the issues we want to press on and also making deals when we can make deals. i just finished with the middle east trip and i watched the president and each one of these countries, saudi arabia, qatar, and uae. i think he comes out of that trip with a sense that he can do a deal with any country. and press them on some things but get what the u.s. wants to get out of it. >> sandra: the elon musk moment was interesting. the reference, he is from there. i don't want to bring him in there. bret great to have you here and great to see you.

all right, new arrests connected to the brazen jailbreak in the big easy that's grabbing national headlines. source telling fox news that two coconspirators are facing charges. nate foy is live in new orleans. what we knew about these new arrests? >> sandra, breaking just within the past are a source close to the investigation tells fox news that two people have been arrested for assisting in the inmates escaped. we are learning that at least one of those people is not a member of the sheriff's office or a worker at the jail. we are on day six of this manhunt and five of the ten escaped fugitives are still out there. take a live look at our fox news drone. the most recent arrest last night happen just outside where we are in the french quarter. authority saying that they are following up on credible tips for each and every one of the five men who remain at large.

take a look at these new images that show 19-year-old cory boyd being transferred to the state facility in angola. boyd was arrested at a new orleans apartment complex. he was jailed for second-degree murder, aggravated battery, threatening a public official. all five captured fugitives have been found inside city limits. authorities believe the remaining five are still hiding out in new orleans. three of those still on the run are accused or convicted of murder. louisiana's governor has no warning for anybody thinking about helping them. >> we find anyone who aids and events them, they are going to jail whether they were inside the jail and working to let them out or they are continue to aid and abet them and keep them from, our fugitive apprehension team from picking them up. >> sterling williams, the jail maintenance worker, is already facing ten counts for facilitating the escape. plus malfeasance in office. his bond is $1.1 million.

prosecutors say williams turned off the water in the cells of the inmates could escape. he claims he did it under threat saying one inmate promised to stab him if he refused. shutting off the water was crucial, sandra, because it let the inmates remove a toilet and slipped through this whole without drawing attention. authorities remain confident that they are going to be able to find the remaining five fugitives and they point a strong intelligence to help them get the job done. back to you, sandra. >> sandra: nate foy with the sounds of the big easy in the background. nate, thank you very much. trace? >> trace: meantime democratic congresswoman lamonica mciver making a virtual appearance in federal court today. she's facing assault charges after a scuffle outside at an i.c.e. facility in new jersey. we have fox team coverage. first live to alexis mcadams in newark, new jersey. alexis, good afternoon? >> hey, trace. i am in newark, new jersey, but

they congresswoman wasn't able to come to court today so she did a virtual hearing. a judge did not make her post bail but they said she cannot travel out of the united states. we are keeping a close eye on that. until she gets back into court in june. according to fox digital, the congresswoman is fund-raising off these charges saying she needs money to fight back against the trump administration. fox digital asked her about it. >> would you be able to tell us what made you decide to fund raise up the incident, the charges? >> no comment. have a wonderful day. >> all right, have a wonderful day. see what she says later about that. mciver is there in this redshirt. investigators say she was shoving and elbowing federal agents. according to court documents she grabbed one agent and try to restain him -- restrain him. mciver was there with two other democratic congress members from jersey. they wanted to check on the migrants inside.

they say they heard of the conditions were bad and they weren't able to make phone calls. dhs says that's not true and you can't just come in and push her way past the gates. the director of i.c.e. telling fox that threats against officers and agents are up 400% since january. seeing this from an official is the last thing they needed. >> bringing up to the level that it got to that day, there's no place for that. in our society and for dealing with law enforcement. you just don't do that. it's putting the men and women of i.c.e. at risk every day. >> democratic leadership is showing their support for the congresswoman, threatening to ramp up more oversight visits to ice facilities think they are not going to be intimidated by the trump administration. >> we all have lamonica's back and we are with her, if they can go after someone like congresswoman mciver, someone in an official office doing her official duties, they are coming for you.

>> the congresswoman will be back here in court supposedly in person, trace, in june. >> alexis mcadams, thank you. let's bring in kerri urbahn, way to have you on. she was showing some video throughout that whole segment. i'm wondering if you believe this case actually goes to trial. do you think it's there? or do they settle this? the video that we are sitting on the right-hand side of the screen is rather compelling. >> you know i think what is even more interesting is when i was reading the affidavit this morning, and this is under penalty of perjury, an agent on the scene, what he described as a bit different than i think what we did in the hearing. it wasn't so much about her trying to get into the facility, it's that she, according to this affidavit, was trying to block the officers from arresting the mayor of new york. apparently -- mayor of new york. one of them said look, congresspeople are different.

implying that they have the right. we are dealing with this particular individual. according to this affidavit, she struck someone, for someone, shove them, trying to impede their arrest of someone who had nothing to do with her really. so because of those facts i think the department of justice has perhaps a stronger case than if she was just elbowing her way through. but look, to your question, two felony cons is a pretty big deal. will those go the distance? i don't know. maybe they may not close down a bit. i think this congresswoman wants to fight and doj is not backing away and i think they're trying to send a message here as well. >> trace: what about the argument that members of congress are different? members of congress should be treated differently? >> well, to speak directly to that, obviously conducting oversight of federal facilities is a completely legitimate function of their duties. however, breaking the law in

order to do so, that's when there becomes a problem. think about it. the senate, they have, they provide advice and consent for the president's nominees, the cabinet and judicial spots. but that doesn't mean a senator can barge their way into the west wing and knocked down secret service officers if they want to see the president. the secret service would tackle them and they would get in trouble there has to be order and a quorum and rules. that's what we are seeing play out. this would normally be much more a political battle but because of the impeding of officers as they were trying to conduct what they say is a lawful arrest, even though doj dismissed the trespassing charge, we will see with the judge does. >> trace: going forward, what do you think the next step is? >> well, it looks like it's potentially going to go to trial, right?

she had a virtual appearance today and we'll see what the judge does. i had heard rumors that the department of justice had offered her some kind of deal, she declined. i think she wants this fight, whether that smart or not remains to be seen. we'll see what happens and what the judge decides to do. >> trace: it keeps her in the headlines. kerri urbahn, thank you for your time. sandra. >> sandra: most knew him as a 17-year-old ohio high schooler. but who he really is will shock you. we'll have that story coming up. >> trace: a high school track star loses out to a transgender opponent but that did not stop her from taking her rightful place atop the podium here we will speak to her about that next

>> sandra: tornadoes confirmed last night in alabama, leading to a rare tornado emergency in the huntsville and madison areas. eastern kentucky avoiding another round of twisters last night after the possibility of severe weather forcing evacuation order from the governor. that area was slammed by a deadly tornado just last weekend. garrett tenney is live in london, kentucky for us. one of the hardest-hit areas. what does the rebuilding process look like? absolute devastation. >> really is. just removing all of this debris is going to take some time there so much of it that the governor says it's going to cost tens of millions of dollars. you also got the decision whether or not you're going to rebuild and folks have said they do plan to do that but not everyone.

behind this is where the mcintyre family used to live. there was completely destroyed by this tornado with a direct hit and they told me the main reason they stayed here for so long or all the memories they had from raising their two boys in that house and their neighbors. but now the house is gone, three of their neighbors were killed in the storm. they are ready to move on. >> really the house don't mean anything as far as that goes. my son survived. my wife survived. i survived. even our two dogs survived and all of our neighbors died. >> we are getting a better sense of how big and destructive this tornado was. the national weather service says it was half a mile wide at its peak. the winds got up to 170 miles per hour and it tore a path through kentucky more than 55 miles long. 19 people were killed, 1500 homes destroyed. more than 5,000 other homes were damaged.

today the cleanup from all of that continues with hundreds of volunteers coming in to help out. especially inspiring has been that i've spoken to multiple people whose entire lives got destroyed over the weekend and when you ask what kind of help they need, they respond like this. >> we need nothing. we are well taken care of. i need to just try to help everybody else when i'm able to. >> homes, cars, personal belongings, all gone. just worry about trying to find a way to help some of the other folks here. that's a real special kind of person. >> sandra: our best to all those affected by this. it's a long road ahead for sure. thank you. >> president trump, how are you feeling about your big beautiful bill today? >> very well. feeling very well. very close. >> trace: president trump staying positive getting the big beautiful bill passed.

our next guest was beaten out by a transgender athlete at her high school track meet but after the official putting pictures she took this picture of herself standing in first place. let's bring in katie mcginnis. welcome. it's a story that we are covering a lot all over the country. this is happening, some girls are beaten by what our biological males in these races. welcome to you and please tell us what happened in this race and what is this like for you? >> yeah, thank you so much for having me today. it's really such an honor to be here. i also just want to start by saying i've nothing against this athlete as a person, nothing against the trans community. my message is really specifically to cif for them to act quickly and in a timely manner. this is the time sensitive is issue. girls every day are losing their spot due to biological boys beating out biological girls.

to go back to your question, i tried to keep my focus last saturday and kind of treat it like any other normal meet. however on my third jump, i watched them do their jump. the screen lit up, 19 feet 2 inches, the furthest mark that day. i just remember thinking to myself, okay, i need to get a big jump. normally something typical that long jump athletes will do is they started sequence to gain momentum from the crowd and feel the rhythm of the jump. i did that and a rant down the runway. i landed and i watched the measurement mark. it was 18-9. i remember thinking there is nothing else i could do, that was it. i was honestly very discouraged. i'm a high school senior.

you know, winning cif has always been a goal of mine. i wasn't able to compete with someone who is genetically different than me. >> sandra: incredible. i think about what it takes for someone your age to stand up so publicly for what you believe is right, obviously in this case i should say what you see is the wrong thing happening where you are competing against biological males in this race. of so many of the things going on in your life i'm sure but it has gotten to the point where you just can't stand up. this is a.b. hernandez speaking out and reacting and making the case for why this should be an open competition. saying this "i tried so hard, hours of conditioning every day, five days a week every day since november, three hours after school and then all of summer, no summer break. if people think i am brave and strong and hope to be like me one day i say don't just help. make it happen." what is your reaction to that?

>> i guess my reaction to that is all of these athletes work really hard. i'm sure a.b. works hard. but there are certain genetic advantages that biological males have that biological girls don't. one scenario the keeps playing again and again in my head is if there was a man competing in the men's section who is taking steroids are taking extra tests thrown everyone would be unanimous saying this is not fair. it's not equality. that's what's happening in the women's section. someone with more testosterone is competing against girls who have less testosterone. frankly i can't stand for that. >> sandra: you are pretty incredible and you've got a bright future and you are talented. state added, keep at it. inc. you so much for joining us. best to you. we'll be right back. functional

when you're in the military you're really close with your brothers and your sisters that are in the military with you. and when you get out of the military, you kind of lose that until you find a new family. we can talk about our struggles and the things that we did overseas and not everybody can do that. adam! how's it going, brother? we live pretty close to each other. so he's always coming over. when i go to jack's house, we watch a lot of football, hang out. we go outside the friendship has kind of grown into a family i was overseas on a deployment. i got separated from my marines and i got hit in the neck, and it broke my neck and paralyzed me. 14 years ago, i was on a training mission. did a military freefall, and i had some faulty equipment. i hit the ground. going, 30 to 40 knots

and was instantly paralyzed. i met jack fanning when he invited us to park city, utah, through his foundation. i was able to actually get on the mountain and ski with my family, i can't put into words what that meant. i got paid in the military to do crazy fun stuff. and after my accident, i'm still that same guy. and when i was able to jump out of a perfectly good, helicopter, at 10,000 feet, i did it. i was talking to some vets last week amazing how we have these houses where they can come over because they■re in chairs too. carpet and wheelchairs don't mix very well. tunnel to towers, they got rid of all that. they redid my whole bathroom. that's probably the favorite part of my house. i thought they were just going to do the upgrades. but the surprise to me was they paid off the entire mortgage. when they told me they're going to pay off my mortgage, i cried. please contribute
