He says i never intended to disregard any of the instructions. I am hopeful to put this to the side and focus on golf today. Bill and dana, back to you. Bill all of this coming out of the tournament. We do have a statement, dana. This is from scheffler to the espn reporter Jeff Darlington, the reporter with the camera. This morning i was proceeding as directed by Police Officers. It was a very chaotic situation understandably so considering the tragic accident that occurred earlier. There was a misunderstanding i was being asked to do. I never intended to disregard any of the instructions. I hope to put it to put it aside. It truly puts everything in perspective end quote. Dana great statement. Sounds like from the heart and also it is quick. It is out there and that is true. Refocusing on a man just going to work lost his life today. Bill i havent met him but observed him. He strikes me as nothing but a gentleman. I said Scotty Scheffler is a man playing with boys. He strikes me as a guy he is an old soul. Thats the way he carries his life. Dana he faces possible serious charges. Bill he does. Well see how the police handle that. It was all unfortunate and for all sides. The death of this pedestrian who was working the tournament. The cops getting ready for the tournament to make louisville look and the golfers trying to play the best game they can. Dana we have jim gray coming up in a little bit on that. The Biden Administration moving forward with plans to reclassify marijuana. It wants to downgrade weed to a less dangerous drug. Fox news contributor James Freeman is here, Assistant Editor with the Wall Street Journal editorial page. This got set in motion many years ago, right . Obama talked about it, trump flirted with it, biden promised it, and never did it until recently said he will put this rule into motion. Now it is on its way to possibly being reclassified to be the same as tylenol, steroids and testosterone. Really a tragic mistake. It began with barack obama kind of creating the impression that weed is not that harmful. That it is not so different from having a beer or what not. And i would if i could plug to your viewers my colleague finley did a great interview with a doctor studying pot for decades. There is a mythology it is not addictive and not as addictive as other drugs. Not true. Mythology it is largely harmless. Enormous amounts of brain damage for adolescents. It is a bad message and a tax break for Cannabis Providers given the nature of the drug classification. Bill doctors will be able to do more research on the medical stand front. In the meantime you have the politics of it. The Biden Campaign says biden smokes trump in marijuana policy. Cute, right . Here is the poll. Legalizing marijuana nationwide 69 of americans favor it. Only 30 oppose it. What does that tell you, james . I think im not saying it wont be a successful pander by joe biden, im just saying it is reckless, irresponsible and do a lot of harm. I really this note about how it will make it easier to research, yes. But you can research it now. And this doctor has done the paperwork and done a lot of research as have others. We have decades of knowledge about the dangers here. I know it is hard to tell from instagram and other social media but it is a very dangerous substance especially to adolescents. Bill the level of the measure of thc in pot you grow in the field of kentucky is one thing. But the amount of thc loaded into i will call new pot is ten times higher. Sometimes greater. Dana kids can tell their parents biden says its okay. News fox polls this week. This is interesting. The deal breaker issues from some voters. The abortion at 15 , economy at 14 , Border Security 14 . I look at this and thinking if im trump i would rather have those set of issues on my side. Bidens team know that their voters get very energized to vote on the issue of abortion. Your thoughts on this. I think your point was right about trump and i think this is why he has evolved. It wasnt pleasing to prolife voters but he has now moved to saying leave it to the states. I think because he understands the potency of this issue. Certainly you look at 2022, how did the democrats keep the senate . I think this was a big part of it. That was the year that inflation was raging the worst and we talked about it on this program. So i think the issue here is trump is trying to do what he did to Hillary Clinton in 2016 except more so with biden. In other words, paint biden as the extremist, as the up until birth nine month abortion guy and trump saying let states decide. It is a powerful issue but i think it is also beginning to dawn on a lot of voters if it hasnt already that whether they like it or not, abortion is going to be available lots of places in the United States for a very long time. And so i think that was the trump effort to kind of blunt exactly the power of that issue you are seeing in the polls. Abortion matters in seven or eight states nationally. Swing states where it is not a given as it is in this jurisdiction where you will have permissive laws. Dana have a good weekend. Bill tell everybody at the journal hello. They would never let us in the door. Dana i would love to be in their meeting. Bill we have significant news out of beijing, china. Pay attention to this. It is happening this week. Chinese president xi rolling out the red carpet for russian president vladimir putin. They have struck a relationship, folks, the two leaders meeting in china celebrating a No Limits Partnership as tensions grow with the west. Greg palkot is Live In London for more now. Hello to you. Just wrapped up a twoday love fest between the russian and chinese leader with a lot of potentially dangerous results out there. The meetings ended with a most unusual lengthy embrace between putin and xi. The talk was all about the two countries conversations, friendship with no limits, burgeoning ties. Sanctions shutting down other avenues, china is very important to russia economically and politically. The two went on to speak of a multipolar world separate from the u. S. , its allies, west. Putin and xi talked of a new era countering and critical of u. S. Military alliances and aims in europe and in asia. Now the u. S. Has been especially concerned about trade from china to russia vochlg things Like Electronics and machine goods, which could have a double use for russian weapons in ukraine. Beijing has denied this and claimed it is working for peace in the region. In the effusive words of xi about putin, the china Russia Relationship is hard earned and the two sides need to cherish and nurture its stability. Experts, bill, say this is nothing but bad stuff can come out of this twosome and growing intensity between this relationship not just for the United States, the current Biden Administration but for the west as well. Bill a legacy of the war as governments around the worlds to pick a side. Were seeing that develop. Live in london. Dana the journal said this in the editorial board. Will biden step up on ukraine . His limits on kiev are a strategy for defeat on the installment plan. The Washington Post editorial page said the same thing. Bill the big point they make is the limits on ukraine is that were not going to give you weapons you can fire across the border to russia. In the meantime you have an area where the Russian Military can operate unimpeded. They can resupply, rest, and on and on it goes. Dana a similar thing were saying you say youll help them but what you are doing by holding back is that you are helping them lose more slowly. Bill indeed. Here is the question we asked about our fox poll put out last night when it comes to helping ukraine fight against russia what should the u. S. Do . Its split three ways. 1third, 1third, 1third there appears. Bill more to come over the weekend as russia makes a move. Scotty scheffler tees off after being arrested.

Dana testimony has just resumed in the Karen Read Trial accused of drunkingly hitting her boyfriend with his car and leaving him to die in the snow. Read insists she is being framed for his murder. Lets go to molly line outside the courthouse in massachusetts. Hi, molly. Good morning, dana. As prosecutors continue to call witnesses and First Responders to the scene in an effort to show karen read is guilty her team has highlighted shoddy police work as they aim to prove karen read is being framed in the case. Supporters continue to rally outside the courthouse every day. Sometimes she casts them a grateful smile on her way in as true crime enthusiasts are tuning into the trial accused of killing her boston Police Officer boyfriend, 46 years old at the time. Prosecutors say she hit him with her s. U. V. During an argument after a night of drinking in january of 2022. The scapegoat of a conspiracy aimed at protecting the family of a fellow boston Police Officer alvin, read claims she dropped him off for a Late Night Party at alberts home where Defense Attorneys claim okeefe was likely beaten to death. Never hit by karen reads vehicle at all. Albert admitted that he traded in his cell phone before prosecutors let him know it needed to be reserved. His nephew also took the stand denying he held any animosity toward okeefe. Albert admits he had been at the house that night but left before read and okeefe arrived. The defense is critical how the investigation was handled highlighting how Blood Evidence was collected in red solo cups placed in a grocery bags. Some investigators have personal ties to the albert family. Read is charged with Second Degree murder, manslaughter and leaving the scene of a collision. Up to the jurors to untangle these dueling tales. Dana thank you for covering that. Bill Defense Attorney and former homicide detective ted williams. It sounds to me they put the cops on trial. I will let you answer that. This is albert that molly mentioned with his bloody knuckles from february of 2022. I dont know what you think this may or may not have to do with it. How do you size it up . Albert is the person with the bloody knuckles, bill. I can tell you what is going on here is while it is the governments position that they have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that karen read committed this crime, the defense in this case is trying to throw as much mud as they possibly can in the other direction looking at the investigation itself, which seemed to be a shoddy investigation, no doubt about it. But they are trying to connect the investigator who conducted the investigation with albert, who i mentioned, who was a young man that they believe, meaning the defense, that he was involved in some kind of an altercation with john okeefe, the 16 year veteran of the Boston Police department that died. But i can tell you most of the evidence in this case at this time points at karen read. A portion of her vehicle was found there at the scene. She had been in an argument with john okeefe. So they have quite a bit to work with, meaning the prosecution. Bill also some testimony that two officers were together, one claims he heard her admit to it and the other says i never heard that. So their stories could compete with each other. Ted, i want to go to the story out of louisville, kentucky. Scotty scheffler was arrested and on the Course Playing at the Pga Championship. The huge tournament in louisville. What was happening as he was trying to get to the course. A pedestrian had just been struck by a bus and killed. Dark, raining, cops trying to redirect traffic. He is trying to get to the course to access his normal routine to get ready. I dont want to say it was all a misunderstanding. How do you piece this together when youve seen a scene like this before . Well, i absolutely believe that there was a misunderstanding here. Scotty scheffler was trying to get into the club area there. Someone was directing traffic. It appears as though scheffler did not recognize the person directing traffic. He thought it was one of the individuals associated with the club. And as a result of that, a Law Enforcement officer who was directing the traffic, decided to pull him over. They charged him with assault. I think it is a big misunderstanding and i think it will all be worked out here. There doesnt appear to be any criminal intent whatsoever. Bill so we have a statement from Scotty Scheffler, a statement from his attorney. A statement from Pga Championship itself and well see how police shake this down later. The post Round Press Conference with Scotty Scheffler will be pretty interesting. Thanks for coming on. Your grandkids have a big day today. Whats going on . Yes, bill, thank you. My granddaughter Alicia Williams graduated from baylor university. My granddaughter Ashley Williams graduated from the University Of Houston and i have a young granddaughter in high school thats graduating today from high school. A big day in the williams family. Bill you get it. Ted, congratulations. Thanks for coming on. Talk soon. Thank you. Thank you. All of a sudden everything turns dark and you can see outside the wind started coming in and the rain and it was just dark. Dana Hundreds Of Thousand of people waking up in the dark as storms rattle texas, honoring a Country Music legend. How the academy of Country Music awards paid tribute to the late, great toby keith. Bill at least four people now dead after severe storms rocked the houston area again. 80 mileperhour winds took down trees and blew out windows. A Million People without power earlier today. City officials telling people to stay inside while cleanup continues. Katie burn is live on the ground in houston. How goes it now . Good morning. There is still a ton of debris all over the place, bill. In terms of the winds, were talking about what really ended up being like a category 1 Hurricane Tearing through one of the largest cities in the country here in houston and stayed on the ground for 30 minutes. Take a look at the damage that it left in its path. Weve got windows blown out in several of these downtown buildings, high rises. You can see glass and debris all over the place and why people are urged to stay away from the Downtown Area. Weve heard sirens on and off throughout the day. The mayor is urging people to work from home today. Traffic is at a minimum. Only Essential Workers are expected to go to their offices. School is out for the kids so they havent been on the roads heading to school, either. We know the radar at the citys two airports picked up winds near 100 milesperhour, 450 feet above the ground. Of course here in the Downtown Area we have buildings much taller than that. The winds were likely even faster and tragically four people in houston lost their lives because of what happened here. City Officials Say two were killed by fallen trees. One person died in a crane accident. Were working to learn what happened to that fourth victim as crews work to restore power to almost a Million People. Weve been talking to people who stayed in Hotels Downtown last night and many of them are looking around at the damage saying they are grateful for their lives. Feel very lucky. There were buildings one block over that were pretty well damaged and i saw floors i was on the fifth floor. I saw windows knocked out about that same level. I just feel very lucky. You can see crews out assessing the damage now working on boarding up a lot of windows. More rain is unfortunately on the way. Bill they had Flash Flooding two weeks ago, too. Best to the folks in houston. Katie burn, fox wets. Dana Supreme Court Justice Samuel alito is being questioned about a new photo that shows an upside down American Flag days after the january 6th issue. The New York Times published the photo yesterday along with a statement from Justice Alito denying any involvement coming as the Supreme Court is weighing two major cases related to january 6th prosecutions. Those decisions expected to come any time between now and the end of june. Shannon bream joins us now. Justice alito i had no involvement in flying the flag. It was placed in response to a neighbors use of objection and assaulting language on yard signs. I can tell you this is like most neighborhoods in this area. Not gated. A lot of people think of course the Supreme Court justice would live in a gated neighborhood. He doesnt. This is a place where i can tell you for years there have been tensions between neighbors. Back and forth and this was part of that process as i understand it. There have been protestors there since the dobbs decision, too. We know as recently as saturday they had protestors there at their house. So this is an ongoing situation. Nobody has moved and apparently the tension between the neighbors has continued. Again were told mrs. Alitos decision, justice not involved. It is their home in response to some vulgar and personal signs that were also going on in the neighborhood at the same time. Dana alito during one of the cases was u. S. Versus fisher and what he said at the time. What happened on january 6th was very, very serious. Im not equating this with protests in the courtroom but we need to find out what are the outer reaches of this statute under your interpretation. What the New York Times is all of a sudden is this photo surfaces right before the Supreme Court is about to rule on this issue, that seems a little suspicious but what do you think will actually happen in that particular case . That is going to be a very interesting case. It is one that has implications for President Trump as well. The Obstruction Charge used against hundreds of january 6th defendants is potentially in play here. If the justices find it wasnt properly applied in those cases, then that may kill the counts against President Trump on that front as well. So there are implications involving hundreds of people but including one of the federal cases against President Trump. Hard to tell from the arguments but there are a lot of folks across political spectrum who think the application of that Obstruction Charge may not have actually been rightfully applied even though they may agree these people are guilty of criminal conduct and those need to be held accountable and many are. Maybe this particular statute doesnt also go along with some of those charges. Well know soon. Bill shannon, you know, dana and i are drowning in this Michael Cohen stuff this week. Dana were not alone. Bill we have a day off today but back at it on monday. The exchange is long but you are a lawyer, we havent gotten you to weigh in on this yet and give you your crack at this. Todd blanche says the phone call that cohen made to the bodyguard in late october 2016, right . That was the lie. You were talking to mr. Schiller about the fact that you were getting harassing phone calls from a 14yearold, correct . Cohen, part of it was the 14yearold. Another key was with my trump at the time and more than this. Blanche said that was a lie you didnt talk to President Trump on that night you talked to Keith Schiller about what we went through. You can admit it. No, sir, i cant. Im not certain that is accurate. Based on the records i was able to review i believe i also spoke to President Trump and told him everything regarding the Stormy Daniels matter was being worked on and it will be resolved. Blanche says we arent asking for your belief. This jury doesnt want to hear what you think happened. Some people think that was a smoking gun, across all the networks they were talking about that. What did you think . It was not a good moment for the prosecution or Michael Cohen. He had talked about how he had numerous ways to talk to President Trump. All different types of phones and cell phones and for him to pin this on a call that only goes to Keith Schiller is difficult. The jurey will have to believe what Michael Cohen is saying after the defense talked to him about that he lied under oath to courts, all kinds of different people, to judges, to congress. And they will have to believe that that phone call that he says is about one thing and the defense very much questions about something else, does the jury believe him . From the places ive been able to sit in the courtroom i cant see the jury. Other folks were in there yesterday and expressioned the jury seemed pretty impacted by what they heard from cohen and defense team yesterday. The prosecution has hung their entire case on him and comes down to whether or not you believe this time he is telling the truth. Dana well see. Shannon, you have Elise Stefanik on sunday. By the way, she will come to us from jerusalem where she will be fresh off a speech at the knesset and break down what happens next in the trump trial.

[applause] dana that faithbased Commencement Speech by Harrison Butker is sparking it is interesting that this got so much attention butkers speech said basically from his heart. It got a lot of attention. I want the read to you the nfl released this statement. Harrison butker gave a speech in his personal capacity. His views are not those of the nfl. Were steadfast to inclusion which makes our league stronger. Why do they have to say anything at all . If its a personal opinion, let it stand. You had people who disagreed appeared agreed with it. His jersey sales spiked after his Commencement Speech bust that highlights an important reality in our country. We have the privilege to agree or disagree. We also have the privilege to express our religion. A lot of people are missing the fact he was giving his speech at a Catholic College and speaking to that audience. Seems a lot of people offended by this are people who arent catholic and didnt go to that college. Again, we only move forward in society by through discourse. We dont move forward by doxing someone which is what the kansas city twitter account did by releasing where he lives. He has two kids and a wife. The city of kansas. Dana the Kansas Attorney general put this out. My office is demanding accountability after kansas city docksed him last night. I will enforce the Missouri Human Rights Act and make sure they arent targeted for their religion. Dana you should be allowed to express your opinion. I read through the full text of the speech and didnt get anything in there that you are not allowed to work outside the home. All of those comments are being taken out of context. He said my job is possible and im so successful because i have an incredible woman at home helping to raise our children. None was saying you arent allowed to work outside the home. We will all say i wish i spent more time with my family at the end of our life. He is so proud to have a wonderful, supportive wife. Bill i thought his message was quite tender. Dana and emotional about it. Bill the statement by the nfl is wishywashy, steadfast in our commitment to inclusion, that would include harrison. In england we go to mcdonalds, right . You and me we go to mcdonald and order a happy meal. Now you have an option of not just getting a happy meal but a sad face. I ask you, abby, whats up with this .

But you go to mcdonalds to feel happy. I dont need another reminder im sad. That is your happy place. Bill apparently the meal has a reminder that says its okay not to feel happy all the time. I think its great to talk about mental health. I dont think doing it at mcdonalds and around food is the appropriate place to talk about anxiety and lets talk keep mcdonald as a fun house.

Moment predawn hours at the country club, the number one golfer in the world, pack on the Pga Championship and on the course right now. Arrested earlier today in case you are joining us facing four charges, one is a felony. We have now learned that he will be arraigned in louisville next tuesday, may 21st, at 9 00 a. M. Jim gray joins us now and jim, there is a lot of factors in all this and were going through it throughout the last couple hours. I guess your take on it right now when you consider everything was happening around that area on that country road with a dead pedestrian a short time prior. That seems to be the reason for the chaosic experience that everybody is having because of the tragic death of the pedestrian. Players have a dedicated lane or ability to get in. The Statement Released through Jeff Darlington who has done a great job scheffler said it was a misunderstanding. He thought it was where he was being directed. That was why he was in that lane and going. And then the policeman according to darlington attached himself to the car and started banging on the car with his flashlight. So it gets chaotic from there and weve seen the video. Im not sure where this goes. But Felony Assault . Really . I dont see that. Bill one point of clarification here. Scheffler had nothing to do with the death of a pedestrian. That was a worker for one of the venues struck by a bus crossing that road. I would add also. I dont know if youve been there to this golf course, it is a country road. One lane this way and one lane that way. It is tight going there. Dana i just saw a report the Police Officer that was attached to the car that got apparently dragged for ten yards is what it says had to be taken to the hospital. Dont know if there are injuries or what. Were looking at an arraignment on tuesday in louisville on may 21st. So i would imagine the Police Officers have their version and the espn reporter has their version and everything will come together. Scheffler released a statement that was quite good and genuine and thoughtful. The police are saying that we have to do the right thing for us as well. Well yeah, there will be all kinds of versions of this and im sure the policeman was doing what he felt was his job and didnt recognize the car or see the player logo or didnt see because of the rain and because of the dark conditions that there was a p and the player just trying to avoid all of this and go where he thought he was being directed. So, you know, it will play itself out. Unfortunately it will play itself out in a court of law and these are serious charges. Particularly if what you say, dana, turns out to be accurate that the Police Officer is injured. Seems to me having been to thousands of events this could have been diffused really quickly and easily. For whatever the reason it wasnt. Weve seen this numerous times. We see this all the time and thats not to say that Scotty Scheffler should not be following the law. Put himself above the law or do anything wrong. Im sure in his mind just like he has stated, he was following what he thought was the procedure of where he was being directed. Bill reading the charges here third degree Criminal Mischief.
