the milwaukee bucks looking to help get fans vaccinated. we'll talk to the president of the milwaukee bucks coming up. first let's get to the white house. it is spending a lot of money a big spending spree, president biden hitting the road to drum up support for massive spending bills that could hit taxpayers with a 4 trillion-dollar price tag, is looking going it alone on another costly federal program. fox business's blake burman is live at the white house to break it all down for us. hi, break. reporter: jackie, a pretty regular cadence for president biden. he unveiled the american families plan, the american jobs plan at the joint session of congress and hit the road in georgia, pennsylvania. today he is in virginia to tout both of those plans. the american families plan tries to extend educational opportunities and cut down child care costs by raising taxes on the wealthy.
12:02 pm
even democrats in high-taxed states have issues. that is because they want the salt cap, the deduction cap on state and local taxes to be repealed. they are threatening not to support the plan if it does not include that change. >> bottom line is, we love the president's plan to do things big and bold and build back better and make the country better than it has ever been before but no s.a.l.t., no deal. >> yeah, i agree, no s.a.l.t., no deal. if you will hit our families here in jersey, change the tax code. reporter: so far the president has been traveling to swing states to sell these packages. on thursday he will travel to louisiana to try to pitch the american jobs plan that of course is the infrastructure package to potentially be paid for by raising taxes. republicans say, they will work with the president on the measure so long as it is targeted and paid for via other means. >> now, we can fix it if we
12:03 pm
stick to a, infrastructure, and b, we have serious discussions about how to pay for it. i can tell you how we can pay for it. we can reduce some of our spending. reporter: this theme will continue over here at the white house this week, jackie, as the president will end the work week on friday by giving a speech on the economy. jackie. jackie: we will be watching, blake burman thank you very much. stocks on wall street soaring on the first day of trading in may. the dow is up 300 points as investors holding more stocks than ever before. will the tax-and-spend plans discourage people from contributing to the market? let's ask hal lambert and danielle shay. they usually say sell in may, go away. that is non-pandemic year, non-could have individual year.
12:04 pm
doesn't look like anything. >> more money coming from washington. so that is what is driving this market. it is expensive right now. we're 23 times earnings on the s&p this year. 21 times earnings for 2022. so it is not cheap. there is nowhere to go with money, sitting in cash, hey we'll have inflation. you're already seeing it across the board. lumber prices are up 350% from last year. just 67% just year-to-date. so you're talking huge price increases in things like cost of homes. looking at price increases on copper. looking at price increases on steel. there is inflation coming and the only way to try to fight it is have some exposure to the equity markets. so that is what you're seeing. people will continue to buy. jackie: that's true. let's talk about some of those factors a little bit more, danielle there is worry about inflation. tax-and-spend policies coming
12:05 pm
up. that will only exacerbate the problem. wealthy percentage of this population will be target of those tax hikes trying to seek shelter right now but not so phased by the prospect these hikes are coming. your thoughts? >> so right now, i'm just looking at the fact we don't actually know when these tax hikes are going to take in effect. so for that reason i'm looking at the stock market new all-time highs, okay, yes we saw a little bit of a pullback on the initial news. but now investors know a little bit about what is coming. no reason for them to sell right now. however, what my concern is over the long term 1% they're not stupid. if the tax, if the stock market is going to be taxed significantly more than let's say real estate or bitcoin, or gold and silver, they're not going to continue putting the majority of their money into the stock market when they can pick another investment vehicle. so as of right now it is not
12:06 pm
concerning to me. but i'm talking about long term what are the impacts of this tax bill. jackie: we just flashed a breakdown of the spending there. we're talking about $6 trillion. there are a lot of different programs that the president wants to champion here. in a sound bite blake played in his report, we were just talking about the s.a.l.t. aspect, for example. the democrats are saying we want that to be reversed, right? the president is saying, you know, i will work with you but i got to find a way to pay for what you want and everything that i want too. that is just a lot. >> well, you know that's actually kind of a fantasy thing. they will not really going to try to pay for this. they will tack it on to the debt. they know taxes they're talking about won't pay for $6 trillion. it is interesting to see democratic senators, democratic congressman saying they want the s.a.l.t. tax reduction back yet it is purely for the wealthy, right? that is for the wealthy.
12:07 pm
they're saying we have to tax the wealthy more. all about their constituents. i would say this, $6 trillion in expenditures. we don't need it. we don't need that much money put into the the economy. there are job shortages right now. what needs to happen, they extended unemployment benefits further out. people are not incentivized to go back to work. we can't staff businesses right now. that is what needs to happen, we need people working again, not waiting for government checks. that is the number one thing they can do right now, instead of trying to spend money on things like child care and other things they want to spend it on. jackie: final thought to you, danielle. that is part of the push pull. america is ready to be open for business fully, for some reason, many political reasons let's say not all states are. >> yes, that is absolutely true and i'm here in texas and we've been open for a while. things are going really well here in texas. people are happy. there is a lot of optimism going
12:08 pm
on. the country is reoptimistic about reopening so that is why we're seeing the stock market strong. that is great for now. over the long term, spending, inflation, it will cause big problems down the road. jackie: great to see you, guys. thank you so much. we'll come back later in the program. i want to switch gears on the program. we have a new report revealing one of the largest teachers unions using its influence to put lobby the cdc on school reopenings even before official guidelines were released. newly obtained emails by the "new york post," american federation of teachers leadership telling the cdc they feel their experience can inform and enrich thinking on future guidance. here to react to that, reason foundation director of school choice, cory deangelis. no relation that i know of. your reaction to the teachers unions trying to interact with the cdc this way, in the midst
12:09 pm
of the throes of the pandemic everybody was saying follow the science. that is what the cdc is there to set out guidelines. teachers unions, they have can have thoughts, input, opinions but they shouldn't be influencing in any way, correct? >> yeah, they shouldn't be influencing it but we all knew this all along and this really confirms all along that the whole school reopening debate has been more to do with political partisanship and power dynamics than safety and needs of families. we have evidence across the country, six studies, i did the first one with mit's mccready, looking over 10,000 public school districts across the country, places with stronger teachers unions statistically, substantially less likely to reopen their doors for in person instruction after controlling for dem graphics in the area, politics in the area, covid risk in the area. we found there was no statistically significant relationship between reopening
12:10 pm
decisions and the risk of the virus in the area. there is a handful of studies finding this as well. doesn't have to do with the needs of families or even the science t has to do with politics and power. jackie: i just want to respond to that read you a statement that fox obtained from the american federation for teachers on this specific issue. they say, quote, the aft represents 1.7 million educators, health care professionals and public employees who spent the last 14 months serving on the front lines of the covid-19 pandemic. so naturally we have been in regular touch with the agencies setting policy that affects their work and lives including the cdc. some people will say, we don't have a problem you've been in touch with the agencies, you're having that kind of communication, but those words, setting policy, is that appropriate? >> that is the problem here. i think the teachers unions have essentially overplayed their hand in the past year, showed their true colors. families are starting to wake up. they're realizing that they have gotten a bad deal all along when
12:11 pm
it comes to k-12 education, they're finally starting to realize there is no good reason to fund institutions, particularly closed buildings when you can fund students directly instead. there are three nationwide polls finding huge surges in support for educational freedom, what i call funding students directly as opposed to systems. we have 30 states have bills in play to fund students as opposed to systems. a handful of those states already signed those bills into law. so school choice is on the way all across the nation right now. i think it is teachers unions own fault. all they they have done a lot of bad the past year, the one silver lining they have done more to advance the concept of school choice than anyone could have ever imagined. jackie: that is interesting. cory, i want to ask you this, i use new york city, new york, as an example comparing the other states and the rest of country essentially. some parents here in new york city were even protesting reopening of schools fully in september.
12:12 pm
this coming as "the new york times" columnist is writing, that the lack of normal school something particularly hurting mothers, right? there is this push and pull we've got to get kids back to school so the parents can get back to work, so that mothers who are the primary caretakers in many cases can get back to resuming their daily activities as well. your thoughts, reactions to the notion that schools shouldn't even reopen this fall? >> well look, it has been over a year and kids are losing ground academically, mentally, physically. as you noted, adverse labor market effects happening as well. females more likely to leave the labor force. look, i'm in florida right now. florida has been able to figure it out. they spend 30% less than the national average per pupil in their public schools. they have much, not as strong teachers unions as they are in new york city or in in california and they have been able to do it. all families have the option for full-time in-person instruction.
12:13 pm
every family should have the opportunity. i will say the whole school reopening debate has been more about what type of options, least advantaged in society should have because the most advantaged were able to pick up and pay for private school, tuition and fees out-of-pocket, more than happy to offer in-person instruction. they were able to access pandemic and micro schools. all families should have the options. one good way to do that, open all the schools for every student, give them that choice. two, if you fund students directly, families would be empowered to actually seek out alternatives to the status quo. jackie: interesting. cory deangelis, good to see you. thank you for your insight. >> thank you. jackie: we'll talk to you soon. meantime 9 milwaukee bucks are help towing get vaccines in the arms of fans. the president of that organization is on next what the vaccine push could be getting more fans in the stands. ♪.

the tri-state area later this month. jonathan serrie with us with the latest. reporter: hi, there, jackie, this involves capacity restrictions not only in restaurant dining rooms but places like museums and theaters on may 19th. most of those capacity restrictions will be lifted according to the governor. the stipulation being customers still need to be able to maintain six feet of social distancing or have some sort of barrier in place. meanwhile former fda commissioner scott gottlieb has some favorable predictions for the warm southern summer months which he says will lock in some of the gains the u.s. has made against the coronavirus. take a listen. >> the situation in the u.s. continues to improve and i think in the coming weeks we'll see an acceleration in the decline in cases. one of the big reasons is vaccination. reporter: more than 56% of u.s. adults received one covid shot
12:19 pm
and more than 40% are fully vaccinated. nevertheless new york city workers are protesting mayor de blasio to send them back to their offices today, saying it is unsafe until more people get vaccinated. some school districts including ohio, are relaxing the approach to the cdc quarantine guidelines, growing evidence says it is safe for teachers and students to return to class even after a possible exposure as long as masks, other safety measures are in place. despite improvement in the u.s. cases are surging in india, causing vaccine shortages in that part of the country. bernie sanders is calling for pharmaceutical to relinquish intellectual property rights on covid vaccines so third party manufacturers can ramp up supply. >> morley objectionable about rich countries being able to get the vaccine and millions and billions of people in poor countries are unable to afford it. reporter: white house officials

12:21 pm
inoculation center right away. so we had, we did several hundred yesterday. we think we opened up our district. we sit in a 30-acre district we developed and we started to do it outside as well and these are the ways we chip away, continue to get the vaccination numbers up. jackie: i'm curious what the reaction was to fans that were coming to the game? you mentioned several hundred actually got the shot. on a percentage basis of those who attended, do you have a sense how many that was? >> about five or 7%. i think it is the first time. i think it is ease of use. people are little bit taken they can now after weeks of kind of having different segments of the population being able to, to be validated to get the vaccine, now it is everybody. jackie: yeah. >> so it was day one of really making it really available. jackie: what capacity are you at within the stadium? because i'm guessing part of the story here getting back in full, getting fans in, getting people
12:22 pm
vaccinated that is the only way, to eventually get to 100%? >> yeah, absolutely. what people aren't talking about really for us it is social distancing. we're 20% capacity but we're really stuck in an arena that is pretty tight. so unless the social distancing goes down from six feet to three feet or to shoulder to shoulder, our capacity can't really go up that much. maybe we can get to 40% of capacity but professional arenas, stadiums if they have to keep social distancing at six feet are really limited to the total capacity. jackie: really quick, any sense that you had or feeling a sense of maybe some criticism coming from the fans because the issue of vaccines at this point has become a little political. there are those out there saying i want to come to the game and i'm not getting a vaccine, i don't need to have that in my face? >> no. i think this is agnostic. we kind of put it out there as a real opportunity. we want to make it ease of use,

customer service type of event, so those who wanted it got it. those who did not get it were certainly left alone to enjoy the game. jackie: all right, before i let you go we're covering the nba 4 billion-dollar partnership with china this week as the basketball is expected to participate in china's international consumer products expo. there are many critics accusing the nba looking to the other way of when it comes to china treatment of citizens, uyghurs, for example, i'm wondering as a team leader, if there is any concern on your part what you think of this? >> you know. adam silver led us through decades of growth around the world with the nba, media exposure, our fan base, asia, specifically china is one of our growing, growing fan bases. we see growth everywhere around the world, there are challenges and but we have a solid relationship that continues to grow specifically in asia so we're very bullish on it.

more attractive for these drivers to become tanker truck driver. that means higher prices and higher gas prices to make it work. reporter: jackie, gas is pretty expensive in illinois, 3.23 at this rest stop. the national average is 2.90. phil says expect to pay 3.50 at the pump across the country if the shortage doesn't get resolved. jackie: absolutely. i wouldn't be surprised. there will be a lot of demand for gasoline this summer after the pandemic, being couped up. just the regular summer travel season. thanks for watching, grady trimble. harsh words that berkshire hathaway's vice chairman has for the cryptocurrency coming up next. ♪.

understood to mean okay. according to the antideafmation league, white supremacist groups co-opted the gesture to become a symbol of hate. the league wrote in 2019 many people have been falsely accused of being racist with this hand gesture. the latest is "jeopardy" winner kelly donahue. he held up three fingers to indicate number of wins. after that twitter exploded, condeming the gesture it, was a racist hand gesture following more than 500 contestants signed an open letter to the show criticizing them for not editing out the hand gesture. donahue is defending himself calling the incident a terrible misunderstanding in a facebook post. writing that he condemns racism of any kind. last year a san diego man was fired after being accused of making the gesture while driving his former employer's car, san diego public utility, sd and

there are no safe places to put your money. certainly can't put it in the bank to expect to get a return. people are chaising yield in these ways and taking risks they might not necessarily take if there were other options there. >> that is true. a lot of this is the fact that the government sent 1400-dollar checks to 160 million people. a number of those people go on to robinhood and trading. i was surprised to see warren buffett and charlie monger attack a specific company. it sounds a little more personal. i don't know if they're competing with bank of america, one of his largest holdings, bank of america merrill lynch. charlie monger says we don't invest companies that are bad for people. they bought a liquor distributor 10 years ago, empire distribution recalls they're in the wine and distribution business. alcohol is responsible for 95 million death as year. i don't know anyone who died from trading on robinhood. it is tricky.

get with the top story, the president hitting the road to sell americans on $4 trillion and were spending, he has his work cut out from explaining how he plans to pay for, to address concerns, the small business owners have fox news correspondent mark meredith live in virginia later. >> an afternoon president biden asking congress for $300 million to make community college tuition free for americans, that is one of the many spending proposals into the spending push, the president kicking off vision elementary school and yorktown virginia and you remember the administration is calling for universal pre-k program something that the white house sees as essential keeping america competitive when it comes to education on the global stage, republicans and democrats are starting to get concerned with the price tag of the proposals, were talking about trillions of dollars in the
1:02 pm
school to be significant republican opposition. >> when i look at this it's a staggering amount of spending like some of the new credit card in these different things that we don't necessarily need we cannot afford but they're gonna delight the liberal left of the party. >> the president is hoping to sell the public and congress on his ideas making the stop at the tidewater community college and later on going to louisiana on thursday, the vice president making a trip to wisconsin and the first lady going out west, the administration trying to draw support but the biggest battle is in d.c. virginia one of the swing states where this can make a big difference, a divisive governor trio rates can be in a state whether or not democrats are able to hold onto the statehouse and whether or not the president visits will make any difference in that.
1:03 pm
jackie: thank you so much, let's get the washington examiner chief political correspondent fox news contributor byron york who says don't expect biden to let go of a crisis anytime soon. i want to get your thoughts on mike's report, $120 trillion, macon family plan, two years of community college, universal pre-k, more measures for childcare, these are popular concepts with some that we were discussing on the campaign trail for example giving away free education the others would think we don't have the money to do that here in the united states. your thoughts? >> i think what we see right now the president has set out few weeks in may in which he will talk to republicans and republicans will talk to him about this massive spending bill which by the way comes on the heels of the $1.9 trillion covid relief bill, a lot of which wasn't covid relief and what republicans feel is totally unnecessary they haven't finished bending the bill before
1:04 pm
that. i have to say, a lot of the talks that were going to see in the next few days and weeks are going to be theater because republicans simply can't agree to something that big when they use the word infrastructure, they mean things like roads and bridges and making broadband but real stuff, not an increase in child care or make in the childcare credit permanent or home healthcare. all those things are perfectly fine issues but republicans are saying they're not infrastructure, we shouldn't throw it all in one pile. of course democrats are concerned, i think they will say if republicans come and offer us one fifth or one sixth of what were planning on, that's an insult, forget it will do it ourselves. that is the dynamic underneath the next few days. jackie: it's interesting because you have some on the far left praising president biden for how progressive he's been, they are
1:05 pm
shocked by it somehow, listen to the sound bite from aoc. >> president biden has exceeded expectations that progressives have, i'll be frank i think a lot of us expected a much for conservative administration, the active invitation and willingness and collaboration with progressives in his first 100 days were almost 100 days has been very impressive. >> we have a president who is describing childcare as infrastructure, it's time to take the win. jackie: to champions their on the far left, elizabeth warren and aoc, you also have people like bernie sanders as well, their constituents have general concerns and the idea was that president biden would be the more moderate candidate and he hasn't been, he's trying to pander to them to bring his party together in a way and
1:06 pm
that's why many are saying there's a point of no return, you can't go back to the moderate middle-of-the-road approach. >> i wrote a column about this in the headline if biden is a centrist how come the left loves him so much. what you heard from aoc and elizabeth warren, even bernie sanders who can be kinda cranky about biden has had complementary things, there was a blogger and influential blogger who said really with the agenda be any different if bernie sanders were elizabeth warren had been elected. biden went to the democratic primaries with this idea of being a centrist, he was in the centrist lane of the democratic field but the fact is that terminology is really no longer relevant to what's going on. the progressive left is really quite happy with this, were
1:07 pm
talking about $6 trillion in spending that a centrist would not have proposed. i think there's no doubt that joe biden, whatever his history is now governing pretty far from the left. jackie: i want to turn to the story as well stunning details on how one of the most powerful teachers unions influence cdc school reopening policy even before the official guidelines were released, you think about this and wonder if it's a credibility blow not only to the teachers union but the cdc as well because the cdc is supposed to follow the science and set the guidelines and not be influenced by the outside voices. >> it should certainly be a credibility blow to the cdc, there's no doubt about it, we know for a good while that the biden administration was listening to the teachers unions, perhaps too much in its coronavirus policy, the fact is the teachers unions have wanted
1:08 pm
to keep schools closed in some major parts of the country, now, when so much of the country is reopening, were talking new york city, new orleans, all sorts of places are opening up for business, yet the teachers union still waffling on whether schools can reopen physically this fall and for the white house to go along with that, just makes it look like there in these pocket of the teachers union who of course are huge financial supporters of democrats and joe biden over the years. jackie: that is true, great to see you, thank you so much for your time today and your insight. >> thank you. jackie: the biden administration launching a full throttle push for a global minimum corporate tax to counteract tax hikes at home. take a listen to the present economic advisor trying to convince the world to sign on to
1:09 pm
this plan. >> president biden is really saying everyone should pay their fair share, yes internationally we don't want to be disadvantaged, he's also worked with other countries so we have a minimum tax internationally so there's not a race to the bottom which doesn't help any country. jackie: were gonna break in our two great minds to discuss it, i'll start with you jonathan, if you have to convince the rest of the world to join you in raising taxes to stay competitive, don't you have to sit back at a certain point as a leader and say what direction am i going in. >> yes i grimaced when it's america trying to convince other countries to have a higher tax, this is an argument for minimum tax, not a maximum tax but a minimum tax and the old adage that the sawhorse corporation are not so-called paying their fair share. it's all about control and curtailing the successful
1:10 pm
corporations and you may not be an economist to know if you tax something to get less of it in the corporate taxes try to make the corporations to be the bad guy, the corporate taxes are paid by employees in terms of lower wages, customers in terms of higher prices and the public at large in terms of lower innovation that's what biden is all about, tax-and-spend, tax-and-spend over and over again. jackie: it is interesting because part of the conversation had been his proposal for the capital gains tax would be over 43%, 43.4% when everything was brought into play. you're looking at this in your thinking you look at broad because were having that conversation and the democrats love to look at sweden and say it worked so well, the capital gains taxes 30%, the corporate tax rate is in the low 20%. it is interesting to see what were trying to do here, that is the model that they think is so amazing with a population of
1:11 pm
10 million people and they have better numbers than we do. >> there trying to control the rest of the world to adopt the tax policy that will make the united states in a better position just by new policies that would ultimately make the worst position is fantasyland. countries have an incentive to want to make sure their own economy is strong, the products from their own country are desired by the rest of the world and companies want to set up shop within their borders, that's what every country's major interest is it ought to be the interest of the united states as well and it's fascinating that we have this economy that is doing fantastic when president trump was in office, one of the strongest areas of polling was consistently people saying if they didn't like the tweets or a lot of things of how he ran the white house, they like how the economy was going in the fact that we will come out of the pandemic and it ruined a lot of the positive growth and the response is going to be to roll back the things that had us in a good economy and the first place
1:12 pm
does seem to be pretty misguided. jackie: they like to the economy was going, the pandemic happen, nobody could control that no matter who was in the white house at the time and the reason you have a stock market like this in a market up 284 points today is because the groundwork, the foundation with respect to the economy to be able to recover in this way and i think that's what so many people are missing, none of this has to do with joe biden. >> there is a direct correlation between lower taxes, more economic freedom and more prosperity not just for the so-called rich, the evil corporations follow us involved in what so frustrating the american people at large used to understand that. we used to think of a race to the bottom towards higher taxes like getting worse and worse but now the understanding is low taxes heard the economy and the individual with the opposite is true, we can have the prosperity you're alluding to, we just need
1:13 pm
to go the opposite direction which joe biden is taking this country. >> my panel in the previous hour was talking about the tax-and-spend policy and the tax hikes that could be coming when they impact the wealthy and say nobody is panicking, as you can see with the stock market moving the way it is, at what point is this going to become reality for people, at what point is it going to be very clear that there will be a chilling effect on the economy and we may see the market start to cool a little bit. >> at the moment we had an interesting political realignment where many of those at the highest income are among those politically progressive so they're stuck in the interesting position with their own taxes are going up but they say i like fighting, i can't speak out against it, maybe the money is going to good things, yet this really interesting political tension through the big problem will come when your average middle-class realizes that the tax-and-spend policies you can't just tax the rich for each of these bills, eventually
1:14 pm
inflation or the way that this will have a negatively on the economy is going to affect middle and lower class americans and that's going to be the real political effect. jackie: what's interesting is the hypocrisy, even before president biden was inaugurated, somebody people into separating that this administration was going to come in within the upper class and the extremely wealthy and they are saying we are voting for him, at the same time we are looking for ways to screw the rules out of becoming an look for tax shelters and the wealth and that to me has always been so interesting and i appreciate your time, we will see you later. meantime restaurants are speaking out as the governor morgan shuts down indoor dining in 15 of the states biggest counties, will hear from them coming up ahead. ♪

restaurants, we have a pole right now that shows oregonians want their choices back right now, 87% of the respondents in the poll are saying that they want the choice whether they can dine indoors or not and counties across the state. we are really troubled by the latest restrictions. jackie: part of the problem that the state is facing is an unwillingness of some of than habitants to be vaccinated that is a personal choice that many people have to make and they will decide as individuals for themselves and for their families but this far into the pandemic, were in recovery mode and wealth through the first year that was so, so difficult, don't you think that we know who the vulnerable are, we all as individuals have learned what our risks are, we can navigate successfully and make those decisions for ourselves, we don't necessarily have to shut the restaurant down or put the blanket rules in place.
1:21 pm
>> absolutely, it feels like every rock possible has been turned over, everyone knows what covid is, everyone knows the risks associated with it and in our state, or state epidemiologist this past week stated that only 3% of the new rising covid cases have been tied to restaurants and bars, so the disproportionate restriction on restaurants and our local eating establishments versus the tie to the spread of 3%, it just makes no sense, so we continue to be deeply concerned about that reality. jackie: that's a really important point i'm glad you brought that up, so much of the narrative has been follow the science, the science is telling you is not necessarily spreading martin restaurants so if we follow the science we would not close the restaurant. >> absolutely. that is by far number one point that were trying to make sure the governor's office and all of our elected leaders working in our legislature during the current session fully
1:22 pm
understand. jackie: a final point when it comes to what's happening in oregon, part of this is also about the extended benefits that restaurant workers are receiving, those are going to go through until the early fall, you've a lot of people saying i don't necessarily want to go back to work because i'm being paid more to stay home but that really impacts the overall health of the restaurant whether they will be able to get back up and running, it's a systemic problem that is going back to the administration a little bit as well. >> it away we have a perfect storm, there's a number of components that are relating to the workforce shortage which exist in oregon, across the country and hospitality industry, a lot of us are talking across state lines how problematic these trends really are, a couple of things in addition to what you just mentioned, we also serious challenges with childcare stability make it to the child care services are available for those that want to return to work, as you mentioned we have

jackie: is becoming a situation where it's a thankless job to become a police officer, why should i do it, it's a thankless job if you are employed to be on the street every day it could backfire on you, some folks are saying let me go and retire and take my benefits of little bit early, what specifically is happening what support is there in detroit that were not seen in these other cities. >> it is no secret i've known across the country i stand for the minute women not just here in detroit but across the nation unapologetic for that support, i'm not afraid and unfortunately it was more who sat in the seat and would stand and support the police officers who do right, elected not leadership the influence who are not supporting the men and women only of course to keep them safe, here is the most troubling aspect, do you know who loses, those in vulnerable communities, who speaks for them.
1:36 pm
>> really see a spike in crime with the weather this summer pent-up demand that kind of thing more people out? >> i will tell you and i can say it practitioner for 44 years, given what's going on across this country, the lack of support for the men and women continue retirement in the staffing crisis, many of the police officers who are leaving are not being deployed, police officers do count and that makes a difference when you talk about abating violent crimes, equally important is support, whether these so-called leaders were not leaders but people who sit in seats of influence going to realize that this is impacting their city, look at what happened in portland, all of a sudden the mayor wants to do what, say enough of this, after a year and a minneapolis when they defunded the police department, then suddenly they realized crime started spiking and they went to the police department.
1:37 pm
jackie: that was not the answer. >> it is not the answer but failed attempts at eliminating qualified immunity is still a way of dismounting police because they know if you eliminate qualified immunity peace unto police officers will even drones. jackie: great to see you, thank you so much. >> targeting social media for targeting free speech, florida lawmakers are planing to punish sites like twitter for banning politicians. more "coast to coast" after this. ♪ ♪♪

you've got veil, that the joke referencing everybody he remembers aol mail, verizon is selling aol and yahoo to apollo global management for $5 billion, charlie gasparino has the details. >> is a little more than aol mail, this is a media play, yahoo finance has created and been around for a while, they expanded in recent years under verizon that is the play to create a platform that is basically an over-the-top news platform that combines both colored unwashed street and tech and created a tech news america that is over the top, not necessarily on broadcast tv but in emerging ways people watch news which is on the computer, on the iphone, that is a play, a couple interesting parts, fox

business first reports this is about done on friday, i reported it on saturday that they essentially -- sunday they have reached at due diligence stage and today announced the price tag 5 billion, if you noticed with only four-point to billion in cash, the rest is given brazen attempt% stake in the company, obviously for does well and they can sell it, that is the object of private equity, fix it up, sell it for more money in the future, from what i understand apollo was tough they did not want to overpay they push them below the initial ask which was 5 billion in cash as you know four-point to $5 billion cash offer, 10% goes to verizon so it's not quite the 5 million-dollar number. it is some sort of play into text that i'm told, it'll be interesting to see how they work this out, there are other
1:44 pm
properties, good media properties like techcrunch, how they merge all that together is going to be interesting, the other interesting thing, will there be layoffs, are they going to do the typical private equity thing and try to make money through cost savings at least initially in. down to what it wants, i understand the key asset at least according to my sources is a finance asset, the portal that is a good portal for business use, very good portal for analytics, that is something that they really want on this, we'll see what they do with the rest of the stuff, four-point to 5 billion cash, the rest 10%, back to you. jackie: it is interesting i work
1:45 pm
for yahoo for a quick minute when they were expanding and doing a push for online wall street tv to cover the markets, they spent a lot of money on that, it didn't necessarily bring back the return. i wonder if that is something that apollo might say, this wasn't working in terms of the business model. >> there is going to be changes, apollo is very smart savvy company, they're gonna change stuff, there's going to be downsizing, it always is, we should point out the horizon why did verizon sally, it's not a was making money, or make enough money, there are parts that do very well and apparently yahoo does very well, it's 5g expansion, there is other aspects. but if you look at the deal looks like a win-win for both sides apollo did overpay, verizon if they don't do massive downsizing, a company that wants to build the company and make some money on it, this could be a good thing for the people that work there. jackie: we will see, charlie gasparino always great to see you, thank you.

against allowing transgender athletes who were born male to compete on female sports teams. fox news correspondent aishah hasnie has the latest. >> generally has some explaining to do because without many details, it does appear to be a flip on her stance to watch what she said this weekend. >> this is a question of fairness, that's why i pose biological boys who are trans competing girl sports in schools, it just isn't fair. and we have to protect girl sports. >> remember back in 2015, the retired olympian accepted an espionage word and very clearly supported trans rights in sports, watch this. >> i also want to acknowledge all the young trans athletes who
1:51 pm
are out there, given the chance to play sports as who they really are. >> the question, did jenner do a complete 180 or does she like the ncaa believe in hormone suppressant therapy that do allow trans men and women to compete in gender sports, critics are calling her from a menace to a sellout which cannot be good for her at her run against california governor gavin newsom and in that very likely recall election coming up, this is a hot button issue as already 35 states are moving to ban transgender girls and girl sports with four of the states already enacting laws as you know president biden issued an executive order earlier this year which barred discrimination based on gender identity. a lot of questions i'm sure she's going to get into all of this tonight on hannity on fox news at 9:00 o'clock when she goes to sit down with him.

side of the argument that you have to essentially protect the free speech of the companies, on the other side you would say these are platforms everybody is supposed to have access to so you need to protect this free speech of the users. >> there is an argument to be made particular when it comes to political candidates there is a compelling interest people can hear what they have to say but i hear the concerns about government trying to push private company into doing things in part because i worry about the second third order unintended consequent is. for instance, you may say we want to make sure all candidates for office can be kept on the platforms that are not being kicked off because the people who run them don't like them but if you have a lot in place that says you cannot kick a political candidate off even if they say something you deem offensive, what happens when a democratic candidate says you're my followers please show up ready

for a fight, that is the sort of thing the undercurrent terms of service you might get kicked off, that something or inciting violence, but they may feel pressure to not remove that speech, the unintended consequences how me real concerned. jackie: unchartered territory with social media, were all figuring out together. in the meantime disneyland may have opened its doors by cancel culture seems to have his eyes set on one of the most beloved disney characters, the prints getting some royal backlash, for kissing snow white was she is asleep. >> as someone who himself has been the victim of sexual abuse, i find this type of canceling really insulting to actual examples of abuse, were talking about a romantic innocuous kiss as part of a story that is quite benign, this once again idea cancel culture, pressuring companies over something in the big picture is quite innocuous romantic and sweet. jackie: when you think about snow white it is a fairytale,
1:55 pm
the whole idea is that it's make-believe, it is imaginary, nothing bad happens because of that kiss. >> this is again where i come down to private companies making decisions that are right for them, in this case to columnist writing for san francisco paper who were up in arms, disney believes their own guest or uncomfortable, they make make a change but i don't think that is the case there's a difference between snow white and the changes that they did make to arrive like pirates of the caribbean i grew up in orlando and remember going on that right and it seemed really occult to bobs up the pirates chasing women around the bottles of booze, that did not seemed like the enjoyable disney extremes that i wanted it doesn't surprise me disney cancel that part of the ride that was probably good change, that's very different than the story of snow white, i'm told the disney of the company will make the right decision for what makes their guest comfortable in having a magical time. jackie: i never had that experience but i could see white and might've spooked you a little bit. great to see you both.
