lowe's. we help. you save. two israeli staff members are dead. we spoke to someone who

witnessed the chilling arrest. >> he wasn't calm. he looked very scared, but i thought it was because he had just witnessed a murder. i didn't think for a second he was actually the murderer. >> brian: plus, the new investigation has been launched. launched how the white house covered up president biden's mental decline after years of brushing off questions like this: >> know that adults in their 80's, health conditions with pop up more than once a year getting physical. why didn't anybody in the president's family urge him to just get checked out to say the coast is clear? >> virginia governor glenn youngkin and education secretary linda mcmahon are both here with the special announcement. the second hour of "fox & friends" starts right now. >> lawrence: straight to a fox news alert an investigation is underway after two israeli

diplomats are killed in a shooting outside the capital jewish museum in d.c. >> ainsley: the suspect elias rodriguez who is in custody could be heard shouting "free palestine" as he was hauled away. >> brian: lucas tomlinson joins us in washington right near the sight of the deadly attack. lucas? >> good morning, guys. the israeli government is calling this a brutal terrorist attack. the couple who worked at the israeli embassy here in washington gunned down around 9:00 p.m. just behind me at the capital jewish museum a few blocks from the capitol. that suspect 30-year-old elias rodriguez saying "free, free palestine." here is the video. [chanting free, free palestine]

>> lucas: here's the woman who took that video who witnessed rodriguez's arrest earlier on "fox & friends" a. >> i believe we herds some gunshots come from outside the building, maybe 10, 15 gunshots. and we didn't really understand what is going on but there was a man who came in and he is like saying like call the police. and he is covered in rain and he looks very distressed. and so we're trying to offer him some, like some help. i really didn't get it that he was a murderer until i hadn't spoken to to the police. >> the israeli government identified the victims yaron la chin ski and sarah milgrim. president trump posting quote these horrible d.c. killings anti-semitism must end now. hatred and radicalism have no

place in the u.s. so sad things like this can happen. god bless you all. here is trump's attorney general, pam bondi. >> everyone in washington, d.c., stated, local and federal agencies and our great u.s. attorney jeanine pirro, who will be prosecuting this case will be doing everything in our power to keep all citizens safe. especially tonight our jewish community. we will follow the facts. we will follow the law and this defendant charged will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu posting my heart aches for the families of the beloved young man and woman whose lives abruptly cut short by despicable semitic murderers. strengthening mission worldwide and the protection of the state's representatives. here is israel's ambassador here in washington. >> the couple that was gunned

down tonight in the name of free palestine, the young couple about to be engaged, the young man purchased a ring this week with the intention of proposing to his girlfriend next week in jerusalem. together we won't be afraid. together we will stand. and we're going to overcome moral depreaft of people who think they are requesting to achieve political gains through murder just moments ago yaron's family spoke to trey yingst quote he want dod live in peace thinking about his son he wanted to live in quietness. we don't need toe kill israelis like this whenever you find them, guys. >> brian: lucas, thank you so much. amazing what took place and how much reaction we have on video. we don't hear the shots but we see the shooter. we see a shooter that doesn't try to get away. we see a shooter that is proud

of what he did. and reminds me of the october 7th attitude when you have the killers, the assassins who go over the border into the kibbutz and calling back to their families proud that they're chopping off the heads of babies and shooting people in cold blood and torturing them to death and then you have this guy thinking is he going to be a hero because he does it for gaza, for palestine. that is the chant we hear on college campuses that, is the chant we hear in so many cities london around the country around the world. we caught up to the young lady who had the courage to not realizing talk to the shooter tell the story and tape a lot of it. listen to her comments. >> i'm like so do you like this museum? and he is like kind of playing dumb with me. is he like oh, what kind of museum is this? i'm like it's a jewish museum. and he asks do you think that's why they did it? in reference to the gunshots we

had heard. and i was like yeah, maybe. i don't know. but i don't think so. i hope not. and that's when he reaches into his bag and pulled out a keffiyeh and says to me i did it. i did this for gaza. and then he starts shouting free, free palestine. i feel very lucky to be alive and i feel extremely sad for the victims' families. it could have been me. >> ainsley: so chilling. >> lawrence: incredible account. let's bring in ted deutsche the ceo of the american jewish committee hosted inside the museum where the daily shooting the deadly shootingtook place. i'm sure you are shook up this morning because you could have easily been the next targeted. he went inside after he finished murdering two other israelis outside of your facility. >> yeah. this was a horrible night.

not just -- especially for the jewish community but not just for the jewish community. it's a horrible night for the country and for the world. these two young people sarah and yaron came together with a big group that was there last night to talk about ways to work together across the world to help make peace, to bring people together to make connections. this is really -- these are the worst fears of the jewish community coming true, this is an act of pure evil, and what it did was send shock waves through the jewish community around the world. and it's a moment when the world has to stand up and realize that anti-semitism, that when people are chanting for the death of jews, then it's not just chants. we have been saying over and over that ultimately we worry that this turns into violence. and last night sadly that's what we saw. that's what we're all

experiencing. that's what the world has to stand up against. ainsley: do you know anything about the victims he had bought a ring and was going to propose next week. what's your advice to the jewish community watching might be scared to go out today or go to the synagogue over the weekend? >> first, i appreciate the question about sarah and yaron. i do. i knew them both. sarah was very involved, american. very involved with our organization. american jewish committee. really committed to engaging in diplomacy on behalf of the jewish community and israel all around the world. she has traveled with us. yaron, the picture, i think really sums up him and the two of them. they were a beautiful, beautiful couple. it's horrific that they are no longer with us. in terms of the message to the

jewish community, i think this is really a message for all of your viewers that starts with the fact that the jewish community is incredibly strong and resilient, and we're not going to back down. we're not going to stop being proud jews because of these kinds of horrible attacks. sadly, anti-semitism has been around for millennia. and, yes, we have fought against the rise in anti-semitism since october 7th and even before. but we have to -- we have to and we will continue living our lives as proud jews. this weekend, you're right, this weekend on sunday in churches across america. >> ainsley: ted? this is such an important message. i am so sorry to do this but we're being told that speaker johnson is speaking right now. the big, beautiful bill just passed. stand by. >> and make government work more efficiently and effectively for all americans. house democrats voted against all of that everything that i

just said they voted the opposite. clearly proves they actually -- they must want the largest tax increase in u.s. history on the american citizens. they must want own borders. they have proven that over and over. they must -- they must want medicaid for illegal immigrants. we look forward to the senate's timely consideration of this once in a generation legislation. we stand ready to continue our work together to deliver on the one, big beautiful bill as the president trump named it himself. we are going to send that to his desk. get it there by independence day on july 4th. we are going to celebrate a new golden age in america. thank you for being here. i yield next to our leader steve scalise. >> thank you, mr. speaker. and as the speaker said, it truly is morning in america again. you know, when you think about all of the work that's gone in to putting this bill together. it's one big beautiful bill for a lot of reasons. there are a lot of really important wins for the american

people in this bill. and we had 11 committees come together and meet in hearings, some went on over 24 hours. rules committee went over 20 hours. you had the budget committee lead author of the bill. all of the people that had to come together in our conference and i think a lot of you know we don't all think alike. democrats made it very clear they didn't want to have any part in helping get america back on track again. but we were never deterred. when this bill could have failed 10 times over, we said we were going to get this done and failure is not an option and we meant it. we knew we were fighting for the families who have been struggling for way too long under the failed policies of joe biden and all the democrats who did have control of washington for too long. we watched higher interest rates

and higher inflation and lower wages. and a demise of the american dream that we knew should not be permanent but was only going to turn around if we passed a bill to get america back on track. we knew we had to prevent a massive tracks increase so we but the it in the bill. we knew we needed to secure america's border as president trump ran on all across this country and won the election on. and we put it in this bill. we ran on be and said we would produce more american energy and we put it in this bill. all the things that we knew we needed to do to road out waste, fraud, and abuse in government, focus on those families who were struggling, all of that is in this one, big beautiful bill and yes, now, the house has come together and passed this bill. against all odds, but we're still working on the rest of the process. still goes to the senate, the

senate has a lot of work to do, too. that's why we have been talking to the senate for a long time. but it's their turn to take this bill and move forward. i will tell you, none of this would be possible without the leadership of president trump whoever step of the way not only laid out the vision, ran a campaign on this vision. but every step of the way, too. said whatever you need, let me know. and he was there to help us. our great speaker, mike johnson, who was never deterred, probably hasn't slept in a few days. but never wavered in his commitment to get this done. and this whole team has come together an our whip has never relented and never stopped pushing to get this done. with that, i bring up our great majority whip, tom emmer. [applause] thank you, steve.

on november 5th, the american people rejected the failed policies of the biden-harris administration and overwhelmingly endorsed president trump's america first agenda. using his executive authority, president trump hit the ground running on day one to deliver on the promises he made to the american people. today, house republicans followed suit. our one, big beautiful bill fulfills the mandate for change we were given last november. it allows president trump to continue his successful border security and deportation operations by investing in more border patrol agents and ice officers. funding the continue yeation of the considered wall and equipping our men and women on the front lines with the tools they need to keep us safe. not only will the one big, beautiful bill help to make america. >> lawrence: let's goat aishah live outside the capitol. she will bring down what is inside the big beautiful bill. good morning aishah. >> aishah: good morning to you

guys. what a victory for house speaker mike johnson and president trump. we have not yet heard from him. sort of a scrolling through his truth social waiting to see if he is going to make some remarks about this. it's huge day for both of these men to celebrate. this was his signature piece of legislation. it was not an easy task. we're talking about over 1,000 pages of bill text. there is a lot in here that president trump is very excited about. and they got it done. even though there were some moments there where we weren't sure if they were going to have the votes, they got it done. they were here all night. they are going to be celebrating now. nothing motivates congress more than president trump. and a nice, long holiday weekend like memorial day weekend. they wanted to get out of here. so they will be able to do it. let's talk about what is in this. because it does impact you at home. if you pay taxes, this is a big deal for you. because it makes permanent those trump 2017 tax cuts that means your taxes will not be going up

next year. this impacts more than 60% of americans across the country. a lot of democrats were making a fuss how this was a big payout for the billionaires. i don't think more than 60% of americans are billionaires. so it impacts the middle class, and hardworking folks out there. of course, some signature things from the campaign talked about no taxes on tips. that's in there. no taxes on overtime. that's in there as well. border security, more funding to hire more and more ice agents to continue president trump's deportation policies. they went after waste, fraud, and abuse to try to make up for that loss in revenue when it came to those taxes. a lot of fighting we saw over the past couple of weeks. you heard a lot about satellite. for those folks that live in red states, this is a big deal for blue state folks that pay a lot of money in property taxes. you had a lot of republicans from places like new york, new jersey that were fighting for this. and they were able to raise that

from 10,000 to 40,000. it was a huge compromise in the last couple of hours before this vote. and, of course, as well as raising the debt ceiling to $4 trillion. this was a big deal for treasury secretary scott bessent because he was a little anxious that these guys weren't going to be able to get it done by the time that they needed to before the august recess. that's a big deal for the white house as well. and medicaid, a lot of fighting over medicaid especially for some conservatives from states where they have a lot of constituents on medicaid. they were worried there were going to be massive cuts. but, really republicans wanted to go after illegal immigrants that were using medicaid and able-bodied men that were on medicaid. they wanted to add work requirements and those work requirements now will start in 2026. the huge win for fiscal conservatives. now, they didn't get everything. which is why we saw andy harris, who is the house freedom caucus chair vote present.

and we saw warren davidson and thomas massie vote no on the bill. but pretty much a party line vote today. i have got tell you, i'm a little surprised, maybe you are not, lawrence, that hakeem jeffries, the democratic leader, didn't put up much of a fight on the house floor. they have this tool called the magic minute. you might have heard. this it basically is a tool that affords the opposing party's leader to take up the floor for as long as they want to try to try delay the vote. we saw kevin mccarthy, the former house speaker use this tactic when the democrats are trying to pass the big -- sorry, the build back better bill for president biden a couple years ago. he went on for 8 hours on the house floor. set a record. leader hakeem jeffries really only spoke for about 30 minutes. i just asked him why he didn't hold the floor longer to try to put up a fight. he didn't refly me. i guess they knew they weren't going to win on this one. huge incorporate victory for the president. >> lawrence: huge win for the president and the republicans as

well and american people that are going to be getting those tax cuts. >> aishah: now it goes to the senate. >> ainsley: thank you, aishah. they reached their goal. they wanted it before memorial day. >> lawrence: let's see what happens. new details coming from the book on biden's mental decline and cover-up including how the former deputy chief of staff allegedly intimidating a reporter trying to investigate it and allegations of racial discrimination in a virginia school district. >> ainsley: virginia's governor glenn youngkin and education secretary linda mcmahon will be here with us with exclusive announcements, next. ♪ your investment portfolio and your retirement money? the smart investor has their money in a guaranteed product that goes up with the market. their gains lock in, and when the market goes down,

>> brian: senator ron johnson is heading up an investigation into the biden administration's handling of the former president's health. >> ainsley: this is happening as more biden book excerpts shed light on the links biden campaign went to protect him. >> lawrence: peter doocy is at the white house with more. >> peter: powerful group of biden white house senior advisers has some explaining to do to the senate where ron johnson says i just sent letters to former joe biden cabinet members requesting that they appear before my subcommittee for interview about biden's cognitive capabilities during

his presidency. will these individuals finally tell the truth or will they double down on their lies? that's as we learn that biden campaign aides staged a fake town hall to cut campaign ads but they couldn't use any of the footage. this is why, according to the book "original sin" campaign trying to make it look like the president was out there taking on the tough questions from voters in public. but the event was closed to reporters. some say the problem was that the advance team had failed and the gym's lighting was terrible. others admitted that there was a deeper far left fixable problem biden and biden staff also tried to intimidate reporters curious about the president's acuity from that same book. the message from the white house is clear: this reporter believed if she went forward with the story from anonymous aides, the white house would aggressively dispute it on the record and portray her as a liar. the tacit threat worked, but, it didn't always work. >> how is president biden ever

going to convince the three quarters of voters worried about his physical and mental health that he is okay. he told the story about recently talking to a french president who died in 196. >> i'm not even going to go down that rabbit hole with you, sir. >> we know the president says that his health is fine but it's just the brain and that he is sharpest before. >> he was joking by the way. >> >> peter: why doesn't anybody in the president's family urge him to go get checked out. >> the president, every president has a white house medical unit that is with him 24/7. >> peter: when i would ask stuff like that i would regularly hear audible groans from the rows behind us like you hear people's eyes rolling out of their heads. not so much anymore. i'm not sure what changed. back to you. >> ainsley: when the former cabinet under joe biden gets those letters, do they have to go and appear when they are being requested to speak in front of a committee? >> it's going to be something where they have to have their

lawyers iron out an agreement with the subcommittee. so they haven't been subpoenaed yet. so, this is going to be the commercial stage where they can voluntarily go in and ron johnson and the other senators with jurisdictions are going to have to figure out if they actually want to compel them to testify, to force them to come in. >> ainsley: got it. thank you. >> lawrence: thanks, peter. >> brian: thanks so much, peter, so amazing that now some staffers are also saying you can't really just blame his staff for concealing his condition, the press should have done a better job of finding out. really? how many times did we ask, inquire, make statements and get parked back or ignored. now everyone is saying let's run and get this story. it is just so unbelievable. i thought the laptop months after the election when it was finally exposed as legitimate, i thought that was a big deal. that is nothing compared to the lying that went on for four years. we will find out he was never with it. i think president trump is on to

something when he said who was working the auto pen who opened up the border? who pardoned all those people. we got to get answers to that. that's why senator ron johnson is doing an investigation and james comer. >> lawrence: brian, there is a part in the book that talks about even the biden staffers were surprised how much they could get away with the media that they believed their lies. so, they they are even making fun of the media that they allowed them to get away with it. this is just brazen lies. just brazen and they got away with it until now. >> brian: yeah. i hear ya. >> ainsley: doesn't the buck stop with joe biden. shouldn't he say i'm not up for this. i can't do this. when you work for someone, i'm not defending what they did. they should have at least gone to their friends in the media saying look, this is a story, investigate this. >> lawrence: no one told them. >> ainsley: no one did that. don't you think the president should have said i'm not

equipped for this. he and his family. >> brian: is he not capable. he does not know he is bad. he does not know that he is out of it. he really doesn't. >> lawrence: i agree. >> ainsley: it's all sad. thank you so much. well, let's move on to this. we have a fox news alert this morning w horrified witnesses reacting in shock after an anti-israel suspect walks into a jewish museum in d.c., guns down two israeli diplomats out front in cold blood. >> that's when he reaches in to his bag and pulls outs a keffiyeh and says to me "i did it. i did this for gaza." and then he starts shouting "free, free palestine." i feel very lucky to be alive and i feel extremely sad for the victims, the families. it could have been me. >> ainsley: that was one of the witnesses. our next guest was also at the museum last night and watched the suspect screaming "free palestine."

eyewitness yoni joins us now. thank you for coming on. i'm sure you are in shock and disbelief what you witnessed last night. item us what you saw. >> yeah, so it's been a pretty sleepless night. still in the same clothes from the event last night. really started around 6:30. the event was a really special event bringing together over 30 embassies from or 30 embassies around the world in addition to young professionals. the conversations were about how can we work together with muslims, christian and jewish groups to bring aid into gaza. the irony of this violent, horrible crime is we were trying to find lonel solutions. we heard he happens to be walking with them when as he

came back. in at this time nobody knew what was going on. we thought it could have been gang violence. we thought it could have been standard d.c. crime. next thing you know, you know, police are scrambling. nobody knows what is happening inside the actual building. and while this is all hang, we could clearly see the perpetrator right now in shock. people are bringing him water. checking in on him. showing value. and we didn't know that he was a killer at this time. soon, i would say about 5, 10 minutes later when the did police did end up showing up, he turned himself in just like katie said he said "i did this for palestine. did i this for gaza. and went into chants of free palestine. it's really just a shame that an event trying to bridge gaps between different religions and trying to find humanitarian solutions was, you know, ruined by a murderer who decided to 'speak out his radical views on

two innocent lives. i haven't really been able to sleep. i am being flooded by texts and messages from family and friends. i really am just thinking about the lives and the families of those who were lost. yaron and sarah. may their memories be a blessing. we are trying to gather information whether this was targeted. how they knew they were leaving at the time that they were leaving. i don't even know how he knew about this event. i mean, this was an event my amazing wife helped organize. the details to location were private. the information was private. yet, somehow he was there at the right place at the right time. i just wants to say same thankful that the trump administration is doing their best and really making an effort to stamp out anti-semitism because this is horrifying and this is very scary. and i'm proud to have a president that cares. >> ainsley: yoni thank you so much. i'm sorry for what you

witnessed. hard to believe you were in that room with this guy alleged kilter and then when you hear him say "free palestine" and know two people are dead or dying taking their last breaths outside when they have their whole lives ahead all in the name of hate. it's so astonishing that this would happen in our country. what do you make of the tone around the country? what does the president need to do? what can we do as a country to settle all of this so that we are not worried when we go to a jewish event that we're going to be shot when we walk outside? >> that's a great question. if i could solve the middle east crisis. i think the reality is we need to continue to support each other as a community. we need to speak out when hate is overpowering love. we need to work together to bridge the divide between the jewish community, the muslim community, the christian community, because my honest opinion is that most people want to see peace. most people believe in humanitarian values and believe in love. and right now i think we are letting hate win.

i think the trump administration is doing a great job at starting to create a path anti-semitism and focus on how we can eradicate some of the hate coming from universities. i think a lot of people are being brain watched right now. you know, i got to say the news and the media hasn't done a great job of verifying sources and they run stories before crosschecking and we have been pouring fuel and gasoline on a irtoo. i think right now, more than anything, we as a community need to come together and support each other and talk with each other because yelling free palestine and murdering two people does not help palestine. but the interfaith alliance and partnerships between organization, that's the real work. right? this is what we're cooking to actually benefit the people that need it. and murdering people and yelling slogans is not the answer. >> ainsley: that's the irony of

all of this the event your wife helped organize was for peace, coming up with solutions. >> right. >> even if you disagree. at least debating. having an honest debate. not killing, that's evil. how is your wife doing? >> she is -- none of us have slept. thankfully my mom is here. and, you know, she fed us soup and looking after us. and giving us water. i have been on the phone and interviewing nonstop just trying to share the story what's important is i want people to know that anti-semitism and hate is very real in this country and this is the first time in my life i have experienced something to this extent that is this horrid, this sick and i just hopen justice is served and nothing like this happens to any other family. >> thank you so much. >> ainsley: we are praying for you all. the jewish community. we love you all. >> thank you so much. >> ainsley: we'll be right back. more information coming up.

governor young, certainly our hearts go out to the families and the friends and this beautiful young couple that were gunned down needlessly, we are just very, very sorry about that. i would like to commend the attorney general in virginia and governor youngkin for the work that they have done and i will let governor youngkin talk more about that but i just want to say that the department of education is launching our own investigation, our civil rights investigation into the practices of admissions thomas jefferson high school in fairfax, virginia. because this cannot be tolerated and won't be tolerated the president said from day one he will not tolerate any discrimination in our universities or across our country. so, governor youngkin, i will let you explain what the attorney general of virginia did and your actions. >> yeah, lawrence, what we're talking about is 14-year-old

virginia kids who have both the capability and the work ethic to be admitted to one of the most exclusive science and technology schools in the nation and denied that opportunity by perfectly engineered admission systems that illegally discriminated against them. told them no, it's not based on merit. it's based on race. and i want to thank -- i want to thank secretary mcmahon for opening up this title 6 investigation which follows on the heels of an investigation that i asked our attorney general jason-mile-an-hour raz. our great attorney general jason miyares to undertake which uncovered this engineered process. this process purposefully to kick out asians in this admissions process excellence. we can raise the floor and make sure that students have the opportunity to take off the ceiling and go as fast and hard
