3:00 am
>> beautiful story. >> when husbands wear that fake pregnancy pillow on their belly when their wives are pregnant. >> 1-3:00 p.m. eastern time ♪ i love my country ♪ i love my country ♪ teach from kentucky ♪ we keep it funky ♪ we like how it sounds. pete: brian kilmeade likes to say get up and guess dressed of the we say do not get up and do not get dressed. enjoy whatever food and coffee in bed that's great. glad you are here. will cain, jedediah bila. we were talking before the show today is a very special national day one you are passionate about. will: it is big moment, jedediah, i am here to announce today is national pie day.
3:01 am
[cheers and applause] and i have an idea, jedediah. a little nugget i picked up from sports media. rank things. that's a fun exercise. and i think on national pie day we should be ranking the best ties out there. no pressure. we have four hours to too today's show. so you might want to start like like a big board. what pies belong in the conversation. i think as we progress throughout the day we could arrive at the top five. credit jed there are some good pies and interesting ones that you don't think would be good and then you taste them wow that's amazing especially on holiday season. i'm old fashioned if i recall and off the bat mine is going to be apple pie. i know, it's simple. doesn't have a lot of objection 00 particular stuff going on it's really just good. delicious. ice cream on top. whipped cream. my day is made. pete: i think we can agree on that. national handwriting day. i have handwritten my number one
3:02 am
which is apple pie, jedediah. we are off to a good consensus start. i don't think will is there yet. will: you are both wrong. pete: write them down in your own handwriting and share them with the audience. share them with friends@foxnews.com. top 3 or top 5. at. pete: a lot of pies. will: pecan, buttermilked, mixed berry. pete: is chicken pot pie a pie? steve: not a top five pie. ing we are glad you are here with us this morning. we do also begin with some other news and this fox news alert. ♪ thousands of national guard troops could stay in our nation's. >> capri: tall much longer over fears of more protests. will: after crews were forced to take breaks in a parking garage near the capitol building. jedediah: lucas tomlinson is live in washington with more as we learn some of the troops have
3:03 am
tested positive for covid-19. lucas? >> the national guard saying as many as 5,000 troops the whole brigade will remain here in the nation's capitol until mid march. senate republican leader mitch mcconnell joined a chorus of lawmakers signed off about those troops kicked out of the capitol. >> i don't think a single senator feels that was acceptable. i'm glad the situation was resolved and i hope we learn exactly what happened. your congress and your country appreciate all you have done to secure the capitol and the inauguration. >> will, fox bet super 6 app. that troops would remain here after february you would have won. photos of soldiers in the parking garage has sparked outrage. national guard blamtion the national police. the denies the accusations. governors have ordered his troops home asap. >> i don't know who is responsible. frankly, i don't care. i have got to protect my troops and do what's right. these men and women do things so bravely.
3:04 am
they don't complain. they want to stand up and do what's right for their country. >> three days after inauguration, not all fencing around the capitol has been taken down as i found out this morning. i almost drove through this one racing to join you guys. a far cry from the 20,000 men in the first marine division taking on hundred thousand chinese forces of the chosen reservoir at 20 below zero in the altitude just about everyone agrees is not good. will, jed, pete? will: i would have taken the under on that. weaving in a promo, a little sports analogy into your report this morning. pete: lucas, thank you so much. you have mentioned a brigade size element into mid mash. i have heard reports it's higher than that, 7,000 troops. the will question i would ask and continually asked, what are they doing? what is the ongoing threat assessment? we read fears of what? what is the intel coming? how long will we have a brigade stationed at our capitol protecting what?
3:05 am
is it because in a couple of weeks the impeachment articles may move away? i don't know. what's the rationale? and of course this move to go to the parking garage as they have become not as politically useful raising eyebrows as well. will: you don't have to he answer the question what the fear may be. only the existence of the fear that's necessary. live in a society where fear absolutely runs the day. fear of domestic terrorism is probably what they would say when it comes to these national guard troops. dealings with the fear of on seen virus shut down our economy and lives. what the fear is doesn't matter. the fact that the fear exsixths allows the government to do whatever it wants and takes and us to willingly give up whatever liberties are left. jed? , this is i want to play for you if you have a second here. this is the texas governor greg abbott talking about well, if that's the case, let's go ahead and bring our national guard troops back to the state of texas. here he is on hannity. listen though. >> these are men and women as governor i deployed to help
3:06 am
secure ourward. i have deployed to help people overcome hurricane harvey. i have deployed them in communities across texas during texas this summer and deployed them to protect the texas capitol itself. these are men and women who should be respected, not denigrated. they were subject to a political correctness test. these are men and women who have served in afghanistan and overseas and, yet, they are forced to sleep in a parking garage. and that's why, sean, i have ordered our national guard from texas to be on the first plane back home. i was requested today for them to be able to stay longer. i said no. they should be on the first plane back home to texas. jedediah: yeah, you know, i don't know what the intel says. i don't know if we ever will know what the intel says that is requiring this level of troop presence there i don't know if it's still viewed as a deterrent for things that they're getting warnings may or may not occur. i think the bottom line here which we have seen in those images in the garage is that if
3:07 am
you are going to have them there, they need to be treated with respect. this there needs to be some type of plan. i said yesterday on air i didn't understand what the chain of command was that gave that order to go into that parking garage. now we are hearing it was a low level officer. it was not someone who was authorized to make that call. i think they just need to figure out the reasoning behind the number of troops that they need. is it justified? if it is justified then, fine, let's figure out a protocol for these. when you look at images you say to yourself we are in the midst of a pandemic. this does not look like a good setup in terms of a contagious virus. if that is something we are still consistently serious about they need to have a protocol for that as well. we are going to have new hampshire governor chris sununu on to recalling those national guardsmen justification and reasoning behind that we will talk a lot more about this in the next few hours. right now though shift over to joe biden. president biden has issued some executive orders as of now. many more coming down the pike.
3:08 am
i always say i don't like executive orders because when it's your guy it always seems great and then it flips and then it's the other guy what's coming down the pike? here are things on executive orders put it on screen for the audience. 15% of the increase pandemic transfer. term supplemental nutrition program lays the foundation for minimum wage we have been talking about the last week or. so asks virginia to mull a pause on federal collections on overpayments and debts from about 2 million vets. this one is interesting and a topic of debate and discussion. allow workers to refuse employment if they fear their health will be jeopardized and still qualify for unemployment insurance. so that's the one that will leave people asking a lot of questions. is this applying to people who in the, you know, the last few months felt that they couldn't go to work and wanted to collect so it's retroactive? is this going on indefinitely for how long? will this be post vaccine as well? will workers of what kinds of
3:09 am
jobs exactly? does it apply to every job? so there is a lot of questions i have on that last one. i think they need to make it much more specific and much more tailored so that there is some restriction. i mean it can't just be in perpetuity if you tonight want to go to, would. this virus doesn't seem to be going anywhere. even with the vaccine, pete, there is going to be risks involved in every day living so what do you do with that. pete: there is risk involved in every part of every day living. you mentioned restricted and tailored. two things washington, d.c. never does well. , the expansion of something like this will mean in perpetuity? why did you quit your job? covid. when does it stop this year or next year. executive orders are separate from the bill the 1.9 trillion-dollar bill that joe biden is calling on congress to pass, which is on top of the pill that was already passed in december which joe biden is saying was just a down payment. so when you start to add it up.
3:10 am
you have passed in december the down payment what joe biden want to be passed and changes making it easier for $15 palestinian mum wage which blow up other unemployment and increase welfare benefits and food stamps. joe biden though talked about it yesterday and said we need more action. >> on the covid-19 package that passed in december was the first step. as i said at the time, it's just a down payment. we need more action. and we need to move fast. the first step of our american rescue plan is a plan to tackle the pandemic and get direct financial relief to americans who need it the most. will our recovery plan also calls for increase in the minimum wage -- at least $15 an hour. no one in america should work 40 hours a week making below the poverty line. the american rescue plan would lift 12 million americans out of poverty and cut child poverty in half.
3:11 am
i look forward to working with members of congress of both parties to move quickly, to get this personal rescue plan to the american people. will: you both asked the question what are the limits on someone being able to quit their job and going straight to unemployment because of fear of covid. there are no limits. you can't say one industry, one workforce sector is capable of doing this. pete: i'm sorry you aren't afraid. will: it has to apply to everyone. pete and i had this conversation today the goal of the left has been long-term universal basic income. this is a back door. add the math equation up. we extend unemployment benefits for an extended period of time. we i see are a the level of unemployment benefits up to many cases $1,000 a week. 5 thousand dollars a year now for unemployment benefits. then you add on top of that that anyone can quit their job at any moment because of covid fears and can't limit who that applies to you have universal. pete: then you add stimulus checks on top of it and this idea will of ilhan omar tweeting
3:12 am
out they shouldn't be a one-time thing. they should be recurring. this is ilhan omar it saying grateful to wonderful mayors calling for reoccurring checks. my colleagues and i are circulating a letter to by den call for reoccurring checks as well. the pain is being felt by so many people and one time check isn't enough. let's be bold. unemployment for any reason plus reoccurring stimulus checks? sure looks like total government fend dense. jedediah: someone has to pay for it, right? money doesn't grow on trees so you are looking at massive taxation on certain groups and at wealth redistribution plan throughout the country that would be existing forever. once you put these plans out there, you saw that with obamacare, it becomes almost impossible to roll them back. when people get used to earn is level of dependency on government, it's near irreversible, unfortunately in many cases. specifically are. pete: maybe that's the plan. jedediah: yeah, and maybe it was. specifically with the minimum wage, i think that's something
3:13 am
that is really important to talk to business owners to talk to people who are impacted by that to talk to economists who can really lay down the negative side effects of that increase. it sounds really good but oftentimes it has negative consequences that a lot of these politicians don't foresee, representative dan crenshaw actually weighed in on some of those side effects. listen to what he had to say. >> they need to confront the fact that when you drastically raise the minimum wage, all of the sudden to $15 an hour, you are going to cut out unless millions of jobs across america. that's not according to me. that's according to the congressional budget office. i have got small businesses in my district begging me to do something about this. you can't let them do this, they say. we will immediately lose our business. we are already hanging on by a thread. listen, here is what it comes down to, if you are going to claim that you are the party of the american working class, you actually have to support working. all right? that's a requirement to be a working class party. and they just won't do that they are going to keep talking about unity but they don't want to unify behind anything that the american working class might
3:14 am
actually want. pete: the dignity of work. the one thing you don't hear in any of these policy prescriptions coming out of the white house right now is get people back to, would. open up responsibly so they can provide for themselves. it's government government government. and they think they have the perfect crisis moment to do just that while you try to win the 100 day mask challenge. remember when the left accused president trump of creating a manufactured crisis at the southern border? >> folks the president has manufactured one heck of a political crisis. >> donald trump is manufacturing a national security crisis. >> some question if there is a crisis at all. will are. pete: droves of will my grants head tote u.s. next guest lost her son to illegal immigrant. she joins us next. ♪ ♪

some question if there is a crisis at all as the president has claimed. >> it's a manufactured crisis. >> this is a manufactured crisis. will: sound familiar? you may remember when the left and the media argued then president trump manufactured a crisis at the border. they are staying silent now despite caravans of migrants heading to the u.s. who admit this: >> they are having a new president will biden he is helping all of us. he is giving us 100 days to get to the u.s. will: our next guest is a legal immigrant whose son ron da silva was murdered by deported illegal immigrant in 2002. agnes begin any joins us now with her message for the will biden administration. she joins us now. what your message.
3:19 am
>> quoorpg. i would like joe biden to start thinking about american citizens first. he put a moratorium on deportation of any illegal alien. california has released 22,000 criminal convicted felons. we need to get those people deported why are we are protecting illegal ail he yens who broke into our country and don't respect our laws or country. we, the people have become second class citizens in this country and it's treely a shame. will: we talk about this word manufacture, agnes to create something where something didn't exist before. they point to president trump manufacturing a crisis where one didn't exist. it's clear something is happening south of our border right now. the question becomes what's creating it? here for suggestion are some of the policies that joe biden is putting forward when it comes to immigration. 100 day pause on deportations,
3:20 am
as you were just discussing of illegal immigrants. eight year path to citizenship for 11 million illegals and halt construction of the border wall. we know some caravans are being formed now down south. do you think these policies are manufacturing this problem? >> these policies are definitely inviting everybody, the riff-raff to come in to the united states. we need to put a stop to this. we have a pandemic in this country. we have thousands of people out of jobs. by end the pipeline creating thousands of lost jobs. we need to focus on the economy. on our growth, on the security of this country. and not worry about what somebody else does in their own country. we need to shut the border down. me, as a legal immigrant, i can say and i said this before, i feel as if the government is spitting on my face and the faces of every legal immigrant that came into this country and
3:21 am
honored and respected the laws. and biden doesn't care. he doesn't care about me. he doesn't care about my son. do you mean to tell me, does he mean to tell me that my son's grave is manufactured? will: right, agnes, what an excellent point. we thank you so much for your perspective this morning and obviously we feel for your situation personally. thank you, agnes, so much. >> thank you, thank you for having me. will: take care. still ahead the progressive pressure on president biden not letting up as a.o.c. demand he cancel student loan debt. will he actually it do it? we will discuss it next.
3:22 am
did you know you can go to libertymutual.com to customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need? really? i didn't-- aah! ok. i'm on vibrate. aaah!
3:23 am
only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪
3:24 am
♪ will: during one of his first days in office. president biden extended the
3:25 am
pandemic payment freeze on student loans through september. pete: but that's not good enough for comrade cortez who tweeted this okay. now let's cancel. jedediah: hear to react is campus reform fellow angelo. thank you for joining us this morning. there are so many things -- first of all, let's look at the stats u.s. student debt $1.5 trillion is held by 42.9 million americans. that's a pretty big number. but when i hear about this, i always think about well what about all the people that worked two and three and four jobs to pay off their own student debt? what about them? what kind of messages to this send to everyone else who wouldn't be forgiven? >> you are so right. when apartment oc talks about canceling student debt, she doesn't mean canceling the debt. the school, the cleenels and universities are still getting paid. she is not talking about canceling the debt. she is talking about nationalizing it.
3:26 am
and having people who didn't go to those schools, who already paid off otheir loans who maybe chose not to go to college or chose to go in state. works a job or two or three to get through school on maybe earned an associate's degree. she is talking about penalizing those people and facilitating what's really a massive transfer of wealth from people who, you know, never took those classes, didn't earn those degrees to people who did. will: let me see if i follow the logic. i think you are spot on here. we know the price of college how about outpacing the rise of inflation. so expensive to go to college. part of that so much government loan and grant programs that allow cleanings to keep crack jacking up their prices. what you are saying is they do that, then on top of that they forgive the debt or put it into the national coffers where the national taxpayer who didn't go to college has to continue to pay. college bureaucrats and people like that who really benefit as they continue to get more money. >> absolutely.
3:27 am
and when colleges know that they have a constant stream of funding from the government, those costs are going to keep climbing up and the value is going to go down because all of a sudden colleges will not be accountable to their students, to their graduates, their alumni. they will be working with one customer, and that customer is the federal government. it cuts students out of the equation. pete: it's a massive leap from freezing temporarily suspending paybacks to canceling them. what's the answer to the question that will just posed, this idea of ever spiraling costs and no accountability for higher education? how do you get that back under control without canceling debt? >> well, well, it's time for transparency and accountability in higher education. right now there is more information out there than ever before. that students and families who want to do their research to make an informed decision about what to study, where to study it, maybe how much student loan debt they would be willing to take out for a certain credential at a certain school.
3:28 am
all of that information is readily available to them. there are also billions of dollars in scholarship funding that go out every single year to students. so a great student who works hard and really wants to dedicate themselves to their studies can go wherever they want in america and come out with a level of student loan debt that's manageable and, therefore, temporary. student debt does not have to be a forever thing. jedediah: yeah, just quickly, what do you think the likelihood is that something like this would pass? what is your perception of public opinion on it? do you think most people support it or most people have concerns be about it? >> absolutely, most people are not going to support this. i don't believe democrats have the authority to do it and if by some ability that they do, they are never going to win an election again because two thirds of american adults do not have a college degree. and all of a sudden they are going to be paying for the 1/3 of americans who do. pete: everyone who paid their
3:29 am
loans, they are just suckers. will: absolutely. or any loan for that matter. car, house, college. pete: suspend them all. quill. will: thank you for your time this morning. i pay the pay a visit to one restaurant devastated by covid-19 restrictions. what p what they are facing and what they think the future holds coming up. >> business is probably down about 70% to 08% for the year. so, with that being said, we kind of lost all of our staff. ♪ reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. here's your a1c. oh! my a1c is under 7!

3:48 am
tammaro of a crisis is to drag this out long enough that president biden can take credit for, you know, for bringing this to an end when this the reality is president trump has worked extremely hard to make this -- to put us in a position we are in right now which is a great position. and to say that there is no plan in place. there is no continuity or that's ridiculous. dr. fauci is still there what is he doing? he has been a part of this from the very beginning. president trump saved millions and millions of lives with the plan that he put in place despite what dr. fauci is now saying which i think is, you know, it is just, you know, it really disgusts me the fact that he is going out and are throwing the president under the bust right now. the president is the one who took the initiative to put warp speed in place and to spend lots and lots of money to make sure that we got a vaccine developed in 11 month instead of 11 years. that would have never ever happened in a biden administration, i promise you. so the president has done a great job on putting us on the right track for this. it is president trump's program. president trump will be the one that got us out of this, not
3:49 am
president biden. jedediah: you know, congressman, there have been a lot of questions about what president biden will actually do differently when it comes to, you know, combating the virus strategy, protocol. biden is signing an order, an executive order requiring travelers who wear face masks. but last i checked aren't people doing that anyway? you know, when you everything is he putting out there president trump has already done. we have been wearing masks. if the mask mandate is such a big deal i want to know why he is not wearing a mask during inauguration. i want to know why jen psaki doesn't wear a mask when she is isstanding in front of the press pool. the plan is no different than the plan president trump has had in place for some time now and

it's working. we are are going to get out of this and we are going to get past this and get people back to work and school. that's going to be because of the actions of president trump not because of the actions of president biden despite the fact that he is going to try to take credit for it. jedediah: one thing i think people are waiting for answers on particularly business owners is when the country can open up as it's shown these lockdowns instituted haven't been beneficial in preventing spread. that's one question that joe biden will have to answer and hopefully soon. thank you for joining us today, congressman. >> thank you, i appreciate you guys having me. jedediah: still ahead. tired of big tech? i am. i can raise my hand. kurt the cyberguy is here with how you can give up gool. stay tuned. ♪ signed up as a nursing cadet for world war ii. she was only 17. bring your family history to life like never before. get started for free at ancestry.com

this is where we stand right now if you will allow me to set the big board. you have got pecan pie. sweet potato pie ba with nanna cream pie. fruit pie are you bash, cherry, blue berry you said apple is going to be the run away winner? jedediah: you know, you are a menace. i always think of pete as the menace. yet, here you are talking about pie this time of the morning. now i can't stop thinking about it. everywhere is starving. we have several hours to go. i have already placed a pie order with my husband by phone you will cain are the street menace of the show. pete: none of those pies you listed except for apple is on my list. what i do have for you, will, i just got it mccafe apple pie from mcdonald's. will: let me show you something, i just got it. i don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth. do you remember the old school mcdonald's apple pies super

4:03 am
we are not quite sure. here is a statement from the national guard and the capitol police. we finally got one as it pertains to why they were in that parking garage. so the u.s. capitol police and the national guard have accord nativitied their efforts to ensure that national guardsmen and women are stationed throughout the capitol complex are in appropriate spaces within congressional buildings including the u.s. capitol where they may take on duty breaks and off duty troops are being housed in hotel rooms or other affordable accommodations. it should also be mentioned, will, not only were they slent into a parking garage. 14,000 national guardsmen. problems compound as well. will: those problems don't seem to be going away as you mentioned earlier in the show. we are looking at this national guard presence at least 7,000 of them, perhaps, extended into march. for what threat? we do not know at this time. we are going to assume there is some credible threat. but if there is and there is going to be a national guard presence. you would assume the best of everyone, pete, and then let them prove you wrong.
4:04 am
i think they often do prove you wrong. allow them the opportunity to do so. if they are going to be there for that long, they need to be treated -- kevin mccarthy said what they have been treated with so far is absolutely shameful. listen. you watched enmany of them shameful. will many bringing pizza and others and thanking them. next thing you know they are sweeping them out the door. we know what nancy pelosi has said about them before. remember whether the riots were happening in washington over the summer? nancy pelosi said the national guard at the lincoln memorial. it was scary. they shouldn't be there. or in portland in july when the riots were going on. do you know what she said about dhs, the department of homeland security? that they were storm troopers. so, we see the true side of what this speaker has thought these
4:05 am
men and women who have been defending us. jedediah: you look at those images obviously it's horrible they should have never been that parking garage. i can't help but think about covid and selective concern. i don't understand. this too we care about people crowding in to small spaces or not? do we care about masks or not? that was an can administration coming in taking this incredibly seriously we were told. how is this the protocol? my patients for selective protocol at times and not at others is gone socialism to none. 100 cases now, maybe more. it's totally avoidable if people would think through this strategy. you either care about this stuff or you don't. it can'table 50/50. i care when it matters to me. i don't care when it doesn't. it just doesn't work for me anymore. pete: of course it's selective protocol. they have know they have a media on their side largely willing to talk about the things they want to talk about but not talk about the things they don't this the
4:06 am
is same administration masks federal properties unless you and your family want to go to the lincoln memorial and take a photo op. and jen psaki want to stand at the podium and take her mask off everyone else in the same room following protocols keep their distance wear masks. i should never see the white of joe biden's teeth until may 1est until the 100 at a mask challenge is over. it doesn't apply to them. it's certainly not national guardsmen who as kevin mccarthy laid out so well, they were happy to disbarred a couple days after the political utility on capitol hill and certainly would never call up in portland, chicago, new york. this governor here in new york, sent 1500 troops to the washington, d.c. for the inaugural. how many troops desend out to his own streets for his own businesses when they are being burned to the ground? zero. so it all comes down to politics political are capitalization.
4:07 am
chris sununu he a along with others have said what is their mission at this point and why should i keep them in there. we will ask him later, will, in the program. ill will will stay with the theme of selective outrage and of policies and principles. stay with the selective deployment of national guard troops in dealing with those riots you talked about. because right now as riots rekindle in places like portland, seattle, and denver. there is not much to be heard from the white house when you are seeing violence on the streets. first of all, seattle activist. what is going on very weak. not addressing the problem. i have reached out to the mayor today because she needs to come out and say stop, enough is enough. meanwhile, jedediah, at every level of forecast where this happens from local to state to federal, you hear very, very little.
4:08 am
jedediah: jen he psaki was asked about it. >> certainly we had our national security team on the ground before 12:01 early in the morning on inauguration day because we wanted to be able to monitor events happening across the country and any unrest that was resulting from the last couple of weeks. i have spoken to with him specifically about those events. it's something our national security team randal our homeland security adviser is monitoring, of course, but if we have an additional update i will provide it to you. jedediah: this answer just doesn't work. she seems so disconnected. job why everyone in washington lives in this bubble. look at the imagery. talk to people in these cities. they are afraid to go to the grocery stores sometimes. you have business us bashed. in you have businesses destroyed. you have people who were locked down in their businesses so long. enough to they have those businesses completely destroyed that they have to figure out how to pay.
4:09 am
are they going to get assistance to kind of make their businesses able to be operated again? i just don't understand the disconnect between the way they speak about this in washington, d.c. and this is politicians on both sides but we are talking about jen psaki right now. i don't understand that disconnect with what we are seeing from footage on the streets, people's communities that are being burned down in some cases. this is not new, pete. we saw this throughout last summer. you saw the biden campaign at the time not even talking about it when it was going on. i just -- i'm tired of it. i am really tired of the disconnect between washington, d.c. and what's going on in these communities. these people feel like they have no voice. pete: i agree. it's the macroversion of when you hear about the, i don't know, defund the police activists who suddenly their house gets broken into and the first people they call are the police. it's that same idea. so nancy pelosi's cathedral the capitol has a very unfortunate thing happen there. and bad -- you know, things went sideways and should not have happened. yet, you look across the country at cops being targeted and
4:10 am
killed, buildings literally being burned down, livelihoods destroyed. cops targeted. cops hurt unfortunately on capitol hill. they didn't go there to target cops. that's what happened in all these other places throughout the summer all year long and there is no answer to it, no national guard, no nothing. because they get to choose what outrages them and when it comes to their cathedral, the capitol, to nancy's office, enough to they have got to be outraged. now we need 25,000 national guard troops. will: you know, one of the questions everyone has been asking is whether or not joe biden would govern as centrist or extremist. we to the bernie sanders or aoc out to be some middle of the road dealmaker. let me point out what he has done in the first two days of being in office and what he hasn't done. what he has done passed executive orders with huge economic programs including extending unemployment to everyone. canceling the keystone pipeline. putting in a mask mandate. putting in a pathway to citizenship. what has he not done addressed
4:11 am
violence on the streets of left leaning cities. when nancy pelosi calls for canceling college debt she is probably going to get it because responding to the left. pete: sound like unity to pee. will: headlines this morning including. this a man pleads guilty to setting a minneapolis police precinct on fire during the george floyd riots in mayor. deandre turner admit that he and another righters lit an explosive divide sniz the precinct. $12 million in damage and forced officers to work in a temporary space. turner will be sentenced in may. he is the fourth suspect to plead guilty to charges connected to the fire. investigators are still searching for additional suspects. kristi noem announces that the state unemployment has dropped to pre-pandemic levels. nome tweeting south dakota's unemployment rate dropped to 3% in tease. that's lower than it was before the pandemic.

when people are arrested they show up in court and by doing what the illinois black caucus and j.b. are pritzker wants to do we are going to eviscerate that. jedediah: we have a statement from kim fox. we will read it for you and get your response. >> cash bail was never about public safety. far too many people assessment not based on their risk but the amount they could afford to pay. eliminating cash bail makes this about risk and not about poverty. your thoughts on her statement. >> take a look at what happened in new york city when they passed something similar last year. they saw a huge, huge spike in the number of crimes that are committed because the streets are being flooded with these people accused crimes and arrested. make no mistake about it kim foxx of jussie smollett fame is behind it. she is pandering to her constituents. overall bad idea. police organizations, states attorneys with the exception of kim foxx, are almost universally

4:27 am
>> it's fear based policy number one. and that's never good. it ignores the fact that we have paid time off. it ignores the fact that we have family leave act. and it ignores the science that says 99.99% of folks with covid will recover if you are under 70 and without co-morbidities. as an employer i have got to tell you i don't want to pay people to not come to work because they have fear. it has catastrophic possibilities. it will gut the workforce. it will now allow employees to say i'm afraid. we are going to not have an economic recovery if we allow policies and guidance like this to the labor force to actually take root. this is a very frightening guidance to the labor department. it. pete: marc, all of this added together it takes you as you kind of alluded to to some potential dangerous thoughts in areas of what the true intentions might be. is the intention to get people hooked on government dependency as opposed to liberating them to

4:33 am
parking garage. pete: michael waltz calls the treatment of these guardsmen despicable thank you for joining us this morning. >> thanks, pete. >> we have seen the photos of you there on capitol hill talking to these guys, supporting them. have you also seen your governor there are say that's it, this mission as he called it is half-cocked. they are coming home. talk to me overall treatment of the national guard, their ongoing mission. we are hearing reports they will be there a couple more months up to 5,000, 7,000 troops. what do you make of it all? >> well, the treatment is disgusting. and it is despicable. i'm hearing that -- i'm hearing that members and staff were complaining and that's what drove the capitol police to then ask our guardsmen and women to leave. i want to say i offer my office. i offer every facility i have for them to stay in. i'm speaking my role as a congressman not a colonel in the national guard. but i want to know what mission
4:34 am
analysis and driving this presence to have five times in d.c. five times what we have in afghanistan and what we have in iraq. two and a half divisions sitting in our nation's capitol. this isn't the active duty military. this isn't their day job. these men and women have lives. they have jobs. they have businesses. many of them are single parents that had to make arrangements for their kids and they did this on just a few hours' notice for what rightly, you know, was an emergency and a failure of law enforcement. the guard should be -- they should be an option of absolute last resort. and now it seems like they are becoming nancy pelosi's private police force. and that is not an appropriate role for our men and women in uniform. pete: real quick clarification are you saying that some members
4:35 am
or some staffers complained that there were too many national guardsmen in the halls and that's why the request was made to put them in a parking garage. >> that's what i'm hearing from, you know, obviously in touch with folks on the ground and that is just disgusting. it's telling though. pete: it is. >> and i want to get to the bottom of it. but the bigger question in my mind is it an appropriate use of our military to be standing 15 feet apart literally staring at a fence? i mean literally that's what they're doing. and if that's going to be the mission going forward and they are going to be out of their lives, remember, you know, they have been activated for covid, states still need them for vaccines describz. they have been will activated for natural disasters hurricanes and wildfires. social unrest which was happening over the summer and still ongoing in parts of the west. and while trying to maintain civil yap careers and families.
4:36 am
all of those things need to be taken into account. i'm going to be asking those hard questions. what are the threat that are driving a number of 6,000 to 7,000 going forward in the coming months and what's the mission analysis behind that? jedediah: congressman, you mentioned covid. we now know there are at least 100 positive tests among those national guardsmen that were confined in that area and pretty much sleeping on top of each other. no surprise there based on what we see in a lot of those images. i want to shift over to a topic on a lot of people's minds could have potentially pretty big consequences that is the likelihood or possibility of d.c. statehood. jen psaki weighed in on that at the white house. >> the president has supported d.c. statehood in the past. that certainly remains his position. buff i don't have anything for you on the timeline or next steps there. jedediah: d.c. mayor saying we are going to bring it to his desk. what happens here?
4:37 am
>> you know, a few things here. obviously politically, that's two more senators for the democrats. and the d.c. statehood issue rather than being a separate bill has been included in nancy pelosi's hr 1 which will dramatically change the way we vote in this country to make it match what they do in california. ballot harvesting, dropping the voting age to 16. this is part of the effort to basically normalize how california does things and make it nationwide. the other piece on d.c. statehood that folks need to understand is our federal capitol shouldn't be subordinated to and under the direction of a state entity and that's what -- that's why the founders put it in the constitution. but this is just -- this is naked politics, right, and to make it a much to ever come back in the senate or the house
4:38 am
that's what's going on here. will: congressman, we talked about the special georgia senate runoff. would there be an attempt at the top of their agenda to coalesce power? certainly pushing for d.c. statehood would help as you point out that adds two more senators. one of the other thing that stands in their way, by the way is the senate filibuster. >> that's right. will: they are going after that. here is the filibuster which would require 60 votes instead of 50 and kamala harris breaking the tie at 51. here is the newest member of the squad jamaal bowman. will the filibuster is a pill early of upholding white supremacy it's time to end it. your thoughts? >> this is falling into the bucket of just throw -- you know throw the term of racism on anything that you want to change. listen, the filibuster is. [broken audio] to have bipartisan you have to get the other side on board because it's very rare that one side or the other has over 60. if you drop that down to 51, it
4:39 am
is katie bar the door in terms of stacking the supreme court, going after the electoral college. d.c. statehood, changing the way we vote. another thing that's in that bill from nancy pelosi is banning any state from asking for voter i.d. the integrity of the vote. this is a massive power grab. [broken audio. will: we are losing the congressman. >> otherwise that is a headlong drive toward socialism. pete: there you go and congressman waltz perfect guest today. we are losing your shot a little bit. if you find the names of those staffers and congressman who complained about those pesky national guardsmen in the hallway, please bring them to us so we can talk about them. >> how about we fund the police and let the police do their jobs. pete: novel idea. will: interesting. yeah, sure. >> i salute you. it. pete: we have a few additional headlines this morning as well. a tour bus heading to the grand

pete poet on his first at a in office joe biden disbanded the trump administration 1776 commission. designed to promote patriotic education in schools. it pushed back on the idea that the country is systemically racist. that whole critical race theory thing. but the new administration claims the commission, quote: sought to erase america's history of racial injustice. well, the chair of the 1776 commission and president of hillsdale college dr. larry arndt joins us now. doctor, thank you so much for being here. you say the 1776 commission hit a nerve with the left with the biden administration. what do you mean by that? >> well, we have a very fundamental argue. underway in america. one of the things that concerns is a past. the status of the past is incredibly important in 1948 the novel the doctrine of big brother he who controls the present controls the past.
4:48 am
he who controls the past controls the future what they did is make the past changeable, mallable. but it isn't, right? so what our report calls for is present the history as it is. all you have to do is look it up and you will find out in america that there is a constant energy to overcome the many things in our history and it comes from where lincoln said it comes from. it comes from the standard max for the free society in the declaration of independence. so today what they want to do is base the whole history of the country as a long parade of racism that issue will wrats them. pete: how will progress of the progressive left they want to do economically, politically the classroom? how central is that to their agenda?
4:49 am
>> education is always fundamentally important. it was to the founding. and the reason is it's how we speak to the future what do we say to the young? there is two ways to go. the way we do it today. remember, the system by the way has been converted into a extensively top town system. and the academic world is all, you know, it's not all by the way. there is some really shining great distinguished historians who have attacked the "new york times" 1619 project. because they say things in it that just isn't true. and so, god bless them. but, the idea today is that there has to be a standard curriculum and standard test and standard -- that's, by the way, both a democratic and republican idea. and the old way was you should locate authority and responsibility as close as possible to the people who are
4:50 am
vested with them. and that means the proper somp sovereign of the school system is the school. with the parents and students and teachers are gathered. they disrupt that. right? now it's textbooks are chosen by a national complicated process. pete: and then you get the people's history by howard and everyone's classroom as the a result of things like that. real quick, the report was not written for academics, it was written for the people. where can people read the 1776 report. >> it's on the hillsdale college website. pete: we're out of time but i want to make sure people check it out because it is worth reading. dr. larry. thank you very much for your time and your service. we appreciate it. still ahead, have you never seen paint ball like this. now federation series follows a paint ball team and you will meet them next ♪ i work hard ♪ i play harder ♪ ♪

5:01 am
is you have severe problems. [laughter] >> night after night, tens of thousands of interviews in-depth chats with news makers, entertainers and presidents. >> i'm delighted to be here, larry. >> king was born in brooklyn, new york in 1943 and launched his broadcasting career as a radio dj in miami in the 1950s. he rose to fame with a nationally syndicated late night talk show in 1978 and was, perhaps, best known for hosting larry king live on cnn for a quarter century from 1985 until he retired in 2010. but he wasn't off the air for long. in 012 he began hosting a show online called larry king now. while some critics suggested he was a soft interviewer. he won numerous awards for his work including an emmy and two peabodys. >> all i have done as an interviewer is i never brought opinions. i left my ego at the door. i never use offed the word i. the guest was the thing that
5:02 am
counted. king was married 8 times to seven women. and had five children. in later years, he suffered a heart attack and was treated for lung cancer but through it all, he never lost his sense of humor or his desire to keep asking the big questions. >> the one question i would ask god, okay, first, if monica lewandowski wants to come on, we will bump god. god. my first question to god will be did you have a son? >> ladies and gentlemen, larry king. >> in new york, rick leventhal, fox news. jedediah: wow, what a loss. what an icon in television. you know, he used to give such a phenomenal interview to anyone. i watched so. many of his interviews and even if it was someone the thing that told me was really good about his job, even if it wasn't someone that i really thought i wanted to hear from who he was interviewing he made it
5:03 am
interesting because it really was all about the guest. when he says i didn't use i. i left my ego at the door he really did and you learned so much about the person that he was interviewing. really good questions. he had a difficult life. some challenging health circumstances along the way. but what a television icon that will absolutely be missed. pete: yeah, he hosted larry king live for over 25 years. and he was accused by many of being a softball interviewer but did he it differently by just letting the guest talk. regardless of whether you reviled the guest or loved the guest. he asked the question and let the guest give their side of the story. i was interviewed a couple -- i would say a dozen times by him in 2007, 2008, 2008, i was a nobody but it was about the iraq war it was contentious and i was running a vets group and we were having debates about it. one show you knew you could go to give your side without perpetual challenging and undermining a bias or view larry
5:04 am
king would ask the question and in cases other than me very interesting people to answer those questions. will: i think what you are hinting at if you let cure office city drive the conversation as opposed to ideology. we all have big opinions but opinions have to be based in some essence on driving questions. finding out more information so you can arrive at an opinion. larry king clearly defined himself by the questions he asked and that is a loss for everyone. not just in the television industry but in the radio industry where so many greats come from. all right. we are on to another fox news alert. thousands of national guard troops could stay in our nation's capitol even be longer over fears of more protests. jedediah: this just one day after troops were forced to take breaks in a parking garage in the capitol building. pete: lucas tomlinson live with more as we learned some troops have tested positive for covid-19 as well. lucas, good morning. >> the national guard now says as many as 5,000 troops a whole brigade will stay here in the nation's capitol until mid
5:05 am
march. senate republican leader mitch mcconnell joined lawmakers from both sides of the aisle demanding an explanation about why american troops were kicked out of the capitol. >> i don't think a single senator feels that was acceptable. i'm glad the situation was resolved and i hope we learn exactly what happened. your congress and your country appreciate all you have done to secure the capitol and the inauguration. >> as you mentioned, pete, over 100 national guardsmen out of 26,000 deployed to washington have tested positive for the coronavirus. these photos of the soldiers in the parking garage sparked outrage across the country. the national guard blames the capitol police for the snafu. the police denied the accusation. the topic of the garage never came up in the white house press briefing yesterday. president biden called the national guard chief to apologize about the incident. if you ever spent nights out on air assault or kandahar or gone door to door in baghdad you might not have much sympathy.
5:06 am
everyone agrees the optics of this were not good, will, jed, pete? will: perhaps to tie this together with the loss of larry king what matters when it comes to national guard troops are questions that need to be answered, who, why and for what reason do those troops remain? who ordered them to the parking garage, why were they sent out of the capitol into that tight confined space cold and overnight. and why is there such a large national guard presence that might extend into march? what is the credible threat that requires that type of military presence on the streets of our nation's capitol, jedediah? jedediah: yeah, and also if you care about covid-19 protocols still and i'm to assume that the administration does because they are talking about mask mandates. they are talking about federal mandates if you are on property on federal property. they are talking about mandates if you are engaged in intrastate travel. and yet you see these images of these national guardsmen piled on top of each other. you now have 100 caves that are tested positive for covid-19. my guess is you may see more.
5:07 am
so if you are going to care about protocol. care about it in every aspect of layoff. certainly our national guard men should be people that we care about when it comes to covid-19 protocol as well. i'm laughing because it's absurd what's going on. it's an absolutely absurd thing to care sometimes and not others when you are dealing with a deadly pandemic. either a deadly pandemic we are taking seriously or it's not. it is so let's do it. pete: troops are used to be mistreated and used as pawn in political games. all of us who have served have been there in some capacity. to do that on our nation's capitol raises all the questions you did, will. we had colonel michael waltz who is a colonel in the national guard, also a congressman. perfect guest this morning in the last hour. and he is asking a lot of the same questions. and has some clues as to what the answers might be as well. take a listen to what he said. >> i want to know what mission analysis, what threat reporting is driving this it presence to have five times in d.c., five times what we have in afghanistan and what we have in
5:08 am
iraq. two and a half divisions sitting on our nation's capitol. and we have to remember, guys. that, you know, this isn't active duty military. this isn't their day job. these men and women have lives. they have job. they should be an option of absolute last resort. now it seems like they are becoming nancy pelosi's private police force. pete: that's the question. what is the threat reporting? if anyone deserves to know. it's him. if anyone will find out, it's him. and if it's just well we think there might possibly, possibly potentially be problems in the future so we are going to keep 7,000 troops on capitol hill through march? that doesn't add up and doesn't make sense. and he also to the fact that he thinks some staff members maybe members of congress complained about these guard men sleeping in the had hallways of the capitol led them out to the parking garage we should find out who they are.
5:09 am
will: push to find out that answer as well. new hampshire governor chris sue knew knew who recalled his national guard members and is looking to bring them back to new hampshire. meanwhile, one of the biggest political issues of the last year reportedly according to polls, the one that drove most people to vote for their choice for president of the united states was covid. that there was some sense they wanted a different response to covid. perhaps there could be a different outcome with a different president. many said no this virus is going to run its course. lockdowns don't work. we can push for a vaccine as we did operation warp speed. we can distribute it better. can we really do that much to change the outcomes? well, now, president joe biden who capitalized on that political narrative is saying, you know what? there is not much we can do. listen. >> if we fail to act, there will be a wave of evictions and foreclosures in the coming month on as this pandemic races on. there is nothing we can do to change it the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several month. the bottom line is this we are
5:10 am
in a national emergency. we need to being a like we are in a national emergency. we got to do it together. i don't believe democrats or republicans are going hungry and losing jobs. i believe americans are going hungry and losing their jobs. we have the tools to fix it. we have the tools to get this virus under control. and our economy back on track. and we have the tools to help people. so let's use the tools. will: let's be crystal clear here. that's not the message you heard on the campaign trail. pete: no. will: let's be crystal clear a suggestion we would handle this virus. democratic party and joe biden better than donald trump. now in offers what are you hearing not much we can do at least the next 100 days, jedediah. jedediah: i don't even know what he just said to be perfectly honest with you. pete: i don't think he knows either. jedediah: politician talk. a bunch of nonsense. is he still trialing to get elected? he already won.
5:11 am
sounds like a campaign speech. what are you talking about? what measures are you saying people need to take? what are you actually going to do differently? the truth is that now we do have a vaccine and the focus need to be on that vaccine rollout. and have you seen a lot of failures at the state level. that is something that the president and this administration should be year seeing to try to see what they can do to assist those governors around the state and give their input if something is not going as it hasn't been going well in new york. but, you know, the vac seep is here. that distribution is on course. but at some point you can't keep businesses shut down forever. we know that and it just sounds like -- i don't even know what he is saying. it doesn't sound like leadership. it doesn't sound like specifics. it sounds like a word salad. i don't get it. we talked to dr. ronny jackson former physician for president obama and president trump. he talks about the biden plan being very similar to the trump plan. take a listen. >> the biden plan is basic live the trump plan with biden's name on it. everything that he is putting out there president trump has already done. we have been wearing masks. and if the mask mandate is such
5:12 am
a big deal. i want to know why he is not wearing a mask during inauguration. i want to know why jen psaki doesn't wear a mask when she is briefing the press standing in front of the press pool. they are very hypocritical the way they approach things. the plan he is putting out is no different than the plan that president trump has had in place for some time now. and it's working. and we are going to get out of this. and we are going to get past this. we are going to get people back to, would and school and that's going to be because of the actions of president trump and not because of the actions of biden. pete: historic speed which that vaccine was delivered and now needs to be descrind like nothing we have ever seen. joe biden says there is nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several month. as you pointed out, will, not something you would have heard on the campaign trail because the easiest thing to do for years and what the media made a living on for four years entire ratings based on is blaming everything on donald trump. everything has to be donald trump's fault. including as it pertains to covid-19. well, bill maher, who has a
5:13 am
penky ability to say things a lot of democrats don't want to hear even though he is a hard core liberal he says well, democrats have kind of lost their excuse. listen. >> were if we're thinking it's trump. trump is the problem and as you edges inned already earlier in the show, bill. we saw hundred of people in the streets breaking windows after biden won. something is wrong and i worry that we're not talking about this in the. >> that's a great question to get to. now that we have gotten rid of trump. we're faced with this problem as americans. now we can't blame everything on him. >> um-huh. >> now we have got to look in the mirror and we will find out in the next 100 days like if it was all trump who was the bad guy. president trump isn't here to blame. we will see what you can try to blame on him. see how much will change in the next be 100 days. when it comes to covid i don't know that it's going to be that different. jedediah: you think of all the people who voted against entrepreneurship. bull didn't necessarily vote for joe biden. each if they voted for him,
5:14 am
technically they weren't thinking joe biden is going to be this leader that is going to usher in all this stuff i want. a lot of questions remain what is joe biden going to do? is it going to be enough? is it going to be some rescue package that is really going to make a difference? i don't know. it remains to be seen. the focus is off president trump now and is on joe biden and his administration. so let's see. pete: let's see wandering around the west wing wearing a mask or not. he has told us we have to wear one on federal property but he turns up time and time again not wearing one on federal property. i digress. will big raise in will minimum wage as part of his recovery economic plan. next guest is a restaurant opener warning this will put each more pressure on small businesses. ♪ auto

5:26 am
they never complained. all through 2020 all the different crises we have seen. so when the call came out to the request look the capitol needs some help, they stepped up once again and went down there and they did the job wonderfully. some were working 36 even up to 48 hour straight shifts. no complaints. will multiple commissions they did a phenomenal job. obviously some of the images we saw in the past week were more than disturbing. this isn't a hot combat zone by any means. this is our nation's capitol. actually happening in the capitol. that's what took a lot of our governors by surprise. i simply said look, they don't complain but it's my job to really protect the team and make sure they have are not put into those substashed conditions. so we pulled them out. i appreciate they are trying to find management. trying to find accountability. there is a lot of finger pointing in washington. i really don't care who is at faults. my job is to make sure that the men and women of the guard are treated with the respect and dignity they serve. so we pulled them back. if there is another call around mission we are always going to be there. absolutely. i needed to make sure that we
5:27 am
weren't being part of a zone system. pete: governor, your troops are are home a lot of them there. up to 7,000 in the middle of march. what was the mission articulated to you in the longevity at the beginning? >> the longevity was a bit unknown. we knew it was about a week, 10 days, 14 days, something like that. there were going to be multiple missions. everything from logistics, actual securing of different facilities and structures. 23409 just the capitol but in and around washington, d.c. there always -- the amazing thing about the national guard. they can train up for almost anything in about 24 hours. we saw that all through 2020. so, there was a variety of missions that they undertook. they did them absolutely stellarly. it was just unbelievable what they were able to do so fast. but, again, the vast majority of those missions are done. they are ramping everything down. again, as a governor, when you see some of those conditions, it was disrespectful. in some cases it was just deplorable that it was happening to our own men and women. they don't complain. i always say it's amazing they don't complain.
5:28 am
as a governor, kind of the head of the team, my job to make sure that they don't end up in those situations which is why we pulled them back. will: really quickly, governor, with the limited time we have back. what reaction have you go then from either the guard itself or from elected officials in the federal government for your call for your troops to return back to new hampshire. >> i think the citizens completely understand that i don't think anyone in america saw those photos and said it ain't so bad. just leave them down there. you have to lead. you have to put your team in a position to be successful. they were very successful. you also have to make sure that they are not being treated with that level of disrespect. i think over all, without a doubt people understand why we pulled them back. the need to do so. but, again, we will be there are to the next call. but there has to be better management and accountability. not a very common thing in washington, d.c. as we know. it's not about who is at fault. it's just about somebody better fix the problem and, you know, dot the i's and cross the t's before they ask the soldiers of this country to come and stand a post. pete: governor sununu, thank you very much for your perspective and for making that call. we appreciate it this morning. >> thank you.
5:29 am
pete: absolutely. he says the troops there don't complain. what was i doing wrong in my platoon. my guys complained about me all the time. will: oh, yeah. i will would love to listen to those complaints. pete: twitter will fire up a few here in a moment i'm sure. listen, it is the right and passage of every soldier ever to complain as much as possible while doing your job as well as possible. many and they will back me up on that. pete: all right. still ahead. fuf voted for president trump, the left wants you canceled. and i'm hearing -- that's what i'm hearing on college campuses. that's next. >> supporting him come to a certain degree of supporting misinformation. ♪ ate to severe plaque psoriasis. now, there's skyrizi. 3 out of 4 people achieved 90% clearer skin at 4 months after just 2 doses. skyrizi may increase your risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them. before treatment, your doctor should check you for infections and tuberculosis. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms, such as fevers, sweats, chills, muscle aches or coughs,

5:37 am
do you think that's a problem? >> um, yeah, i guess there should be balance. >> republican or a conservative members who is willing to, you know, believe in the facts, i mean, i think that would be totally okay. pete: that person had supported donald trump. >> supporting him comes with a certain degree of supporting misinformation which is the point in kicking her off the board anyways. pete: harvard students petitioning to have ted cruz and kayleigh mcenany and dan crenshaw's degrees revoked because of their objection to the certification. what do you think about that? >> to have their degrees revoked. will. pete: yeah. >> no. that is really silly. >> i don't agree with what they are doing right now in the government. i think that's a little far. >> is it cancel culture. >> of course it's cancel culture. one of the things makes people too squared to say what they think and have debate that are meaningful. >> first amendment says that you have the right to freedom of speech. you won't be persecuted by the federal government. it does not protect you against punishment. pete: when students come to
5:38 am
harvard and think they are getting the greatest education in america, are they really just getting one side? >> definitely you are getting one side. that's true. pete: so, guys, they don't want their degrees revoke they don't the degree in the future revoked. they are happy to say elise stefanik is insufficient. of course we need to have balance but they need to be acceptable conservatives or acceptable -- who that is, we are not quite sure. we reached out to harvard for a statement, have not heard back. jedediah: you know what i love about that, too? they have a problem with they say people who support donald trump or donald trump himself spread misinformation. okay. if you believe that then why is your response not to say well, i'm going to counter that with information. i'm going to have a healthy exchange of ideas. i'm going to debate you head on and i'm going to bring my information to the table. that's the problem that now that has been tossed to the side and it's like oh i disagree with you. that's misinformation. cancel, remove. get out of my way you make me uncomfortable. that's the whole problem with academia right there.

pete: we go straight to a fox news alert and a big story this morning. as we told you last hour, tv host larry king has died. he passed away at a los angeles hospital this morning at the age of 87. jedediah: king was a longtime friend of the show. here he is on "fox & friends" in 1999. will: rick leventhal has more on king's life and legacy. >> what i do is ask questions for a living. what a way to make a living. >> reporter: with his
6:01 am
distinctive voice and trademark suspenders, larry king ruled the talk show circuit for over 60 years. >> i missed fidel castro. special treat tonight, an hour with that a madonna. if we have to tell you who she is, you have severe problems. [laughter] >> reporter: night after night, thousands of entertainers, in-depth chats with newsmakers, entertainers and presidents. >> delighted to be here, larry. >> reporter: king was born in brooklyn, new york, in 1933 and launched his career as a radio deejay in miami in the 1950s. he rose to fame with a nationally syndicated late night talk show in 1978 and was perhaps best known for hosting larry king live on cnn for a quarter century from 1985 until he retired in 2010. but he wasn't off the air for long. in 2012 the he began hosting a show online called larry king now. while some critics suggested he was a soft interviewer, he won
6:02 am
numerous awards for his work including an emmy and two peabodys. >> all i've ever done as an interviewer is i never brought opinions, i never used the word "i," the guest was the thing that counted. >> reporter: king was married eight times to seven women and had five children. in the later years he suffered a heart attack and was treated for lung cancer, but through it all, he never lost his sense of humor or his desire to ask the big questions. >> the one question i would ask god, okay, first, if monica lewinsky wants to come on, we'll bump god. [laughter] god, my first question to god will be did you have a son? [laughter] >> ladies and gentlemen, larry king. >> thank you. >> reporter: in new york, rick leventhal, fox news. pete: wow. there he is. 87 today.
6:03 am
the suspenders, the backdrop, the lights at cnn of that show, that is something that we all remember whether you were an intense news watcher or not. you knew who larry king was, and you knew that he was interviewing the top people in sports, in entertainment, in business, in politics, world leaders and all doing it in such a way, jepped, where he let them answer the question. he would ask interesting questions, probing questions, but not impugning the motives of the person he's interviewing, making the interview about them. jedediah: yeah. he asked some really, really great questions and made for some really fantastic interviews. also television and radio are two very different animals. those of us who work in the industry know just because you're good at one, doesn't mean you're going to be good at another. what an incredible testament to his skill to do both successfully, do great interviews in both of those forums and two very different
6:04 am
for9 mats. formats. he taught a lot of us about what to do, what not to do. he will be remembered, and he is certainly a television icon that will be severely missed. will: you know, watching that obituary, it occurs to me one of the lessons is less is more. less ego, more of the guest. and then we ask that perfect question of what he would ask god, he throws his arm over the back of the chair -- pete: nailed it. will: less is more. pete: so true. and as will mentioned last hour, it's worth googling larry king and seinfeld. we remember him today, larry king. all right, to another fox news alert this morning, thousands of national guard troops stay in our nation's capital even longer over fears, some say potentially, of more protests. jedediah: this just one day after troops were forced to take breaks in a parking garage near the capitol building.
6:05 am
will: lucas tomlinson has more. >> reporter: good morning, guys. the national guard says as many as 5,000 troops, that's a whole brigade, will stay in the nation's capital until mid march. mitch mcconnell joined the chorus of lawmakers demanding an explanation of why american troops were tossed out of the capitol. >> i don't think a single senator feels that was acceptable. i'm glad the situation was resolved, and i hope we learn exactly what happened. your and your country appreciate all you've done to secure the capital and the inauguration. >> reporter: as you mentioned, will, over a hundred national guardsmen have tested positive for the coronavirus. seeing soldiers in the parking lot sparked outrage across the country. the national guard blames the capitol police for the snafu, the police deny the accusation. new hampshire's governor wants his troops home asap. the topic never came up at the white house press briefing
6:06 am
yesterday. president biden apparently called the national guard chief to apologize about the incident. the aircraft carrier nimitz in the arabian sea right now, everyone agrees the optics of this were just not good. pete: lucas, you're spot on. you're right, none of those guys would take a parking garage if they could, but the point is well taken, it's the alternative that exists. lucas, thanks so much for the report. it's not that it was a certain amount of hours in a parking garage, it was that there was an alternative. who made the call for them to move there? a congressman complained about the fact that there was too many national guards there, but we've seen governors pull their troops back. and for bigger deployment, if the mission is ambiguous, if we don't know what the threat is going to be or it's not shared with you, the governor or the american people, people start to raise questions. and that's exactly what's
6:07 am
happening here. so when you're talking about a brigade, brigade plus, 7,000 troops for another couple of months on capitol hill, what's the threat? you better be specific. and as was also pointed out by colonel walz and i've seen the photos everywhere, are they really standing, many of them, 15 feet apart along fences wading for the horde that's supposed to come? a lot of questions, jepped, and it makes people -- you know, you don't want to see the politicization of our troops, and it looks like that's happening right now. jedediah: yeah. mid more -- mid march is a long time away, we're in january now. i don't know that we'll get any answers on the specifics with regard to that, but -- and, of course, there are specific threats that are coming, and there is reason to have these individuals stationed there, then they should be. but i think it is raising some eyebrows because it is such an extended period of time, also because as you can see in these images, there's no covid
6:08 am
protocol. and now you have a hundred, possibly more testing positive from just being in those conditions. we're either going to care deeply about this pandemic and have protocols in place, or we're not. i just find it really odd that they were shifted over to this garage and we're seeing them on top of each other. truthfully, i didn't like the covid protocol that was happening inside the capitol. i was concerned about the amount of individuals in a small indoor space. not a small space, but it was crowded. too much for me. regardless, i think we need to be consistent on policy and on messaging, and if it's something that a matters, it needs to matter across the board. will: with that treatment that you described, jedediah, those questions unanswered, several governors like the governor of texas and new hampshire, are recalling their national garden troops. new hampshire's governor was with us earlier describing why. >> the men and women of our national guard are always willing to step up, they always answer the call, and they never complain. all through 2020 the, off the different crises we've seen, so
6:09 am
when the call came out that, look, the capitol needs help, they stepped up and went down there, and they did the job wonderfully. i appreciate they're trying to find management and accountability, i really don't care who's at fault. my job to make sure that the men and women of the guard are treated with the respect and dignity they deserve, so we pulled them back. now, look, if there's another mission, we're always going to be there, absolutely. will: i just keep coming back to the question of why. what is the credible threat for this large military presence in our nation's capital. jason chaffetz was on our show last week and talking about his book, "never let a crisis go to waste." what's the purpose in what's the credible threat? otherwise it's really an opportunity for government to expand its reach. let me give you, i think, another example. this is what joe biden has done in his first couple days in office, 17 executive orders. the latest a, quote, down payment on his economic plan. has the following in it, 15%
6:10 am
increase in the pandemic electronic benefits transfer, expansion of emergency supplemental nutrition assistance, that's the s.n.a.p. program, lays the foundation for a $15 minimum wage with, and allows workers to qualify for unemployment insurance if they quit their job out of concerns, fears of covid. so let me get this straight. we're increasing the amount of money you get on unemployment in some places up to $1,000 a week. you can do the math on what that means for your yearly salary, expanding the amount of time you can stay on unemployment and allowing more people to join the unemployment rolls simply by quitting if you're afraid of covid. pete: correct. so if i got fired tomorrow, i would be, i would qualify for unemployment insurance. but if i decided i don't want to be here because of covid, i can also now file for that. where does that stop? what job at any time, how long does it last? we all know the closest thing to eternal life is a government
6:11 am
program. once it exists, it's nearly impossible to take benefits away within the system of washington d.c. so once there's effectively no excuse unemployment because of covid and if covid's not going anywhere, add that on top of -- look at this tweet from ilhan omar and what she's saying. she says we want these direct payments as well but not just once a month, every month. so grateful that these wonderful mayors who are calling for reoccurring checks. my colleagues and i are circulating a letter to call for biden to -- sorry, the teleprompter's moving on me here -- recurring checks as well. the pain of the economic crisis is being felt by so many, and a one-time check isn't it. let's be bold. so you've got unemployment, you've got the down payment that's been made of the direct payments. now biden wants another bill to pass through congress for more direct payments, and now, jed, ilhan omar's saying those should be monthly. this looks like the government paying people not to work.
6:12 am
jedediah: yeah, and to what end? on that issue of the unemployment insurance and qualifying if you have concerns over covid, there's just so many questions with. what kind of jobs? does this mean no matter what your job is? does this end with the vaccine? what if you have people saying i don't feel comfortable getting vaccinated or my doctor has told me i'm not a good candidate for the vaccine, but i don't feel comfortable going to work indefinitely now. is there a time frame on these things? what does recurring mean? does that mean forever? no one asks these questions, and there's this expectation of a limitless fund like a whole bunch. of money is going to pop down from the sky, and it just doesn't work like that. are we looking for increased taxation for some americans? who's paying for all this, and what happens to the sense of work ethic that people have if time and time again they are able to receive these checks for indefinite periods of time? why would you be incentivized to go back to work? i understand people crave hard
6:13 am
work because it makes them feel good, but you fall into a habit, government's going to work for me, why do i have to work so hard? that's a big question that needs to be answered. will: i like how dan crenshaw put it, if you want tock a part of the working man, you have to care about people working. pete: have you heard one word from joe biden about opening up? will: actually having a job, being productive and being a working person in this world, so much disincentive right now. jedediah: incredible. will: still ahead, michigan's governor flouting her own covid-19 restrictions when she took a trip to priden's inauguration. -- president biden's inauguration. whitmer forced a businessman to close his business. that's next.

her, called out for defying her own covid-19 restrictions to attend the inauguration despite urging her minions, her constituents, to stay home. our next guest had to get his barber license reinstated after it was suspendedded last may because he reopened his shop in dephoenix of michigan's lock orders. carl, thanks so much for being back on the program. and your story of courage and of winning and staying open has given hope to a lot of people through this moment. but you look at your governor, and she says you can't have a gathering in michigan of more than ten people, yet she goes to the inauguration. what do you make of that? >> that's the first sane thing she's done. you know, as far as i'm concerned, everyone should take that lead. open up their businesses, revisit their families and begin to lead a normal life. this neurotic hysteria that this nation's been under for the last year is just ridiculous.
6:18 am
i mean, it's reaching a point now where knew neurosis has bece the norm. [laughter] pete: that's a great way to put it. well, there's more coming down the pike in michigan because new guidelines go into effect on february 1st. here they are for our audience, because you know them well. indoor dining at 25% capacity. this is the one you're making comparison to, two household gatherings up to ten people max, small outdoor gatherings of 25 people, and a 10 p.m. curfew. the citizens there and around the country were told 15 days, a couple of months to slow the spread. here we are into our second year. can we change that view of just giving in and encourage people to make their own decisions? >> i think we need to do that. americans are still americans. you know, there's nothing in our constitution that said because of a virus we're going to take your freedoms away from you. each person is allowed in this
6:19 am
country, yet is allowed to make those decisions for themselves. and when government decides that they can control a virus, this has reached beyond, way beyond any sanity. you know, as far as i'm concerned we've reached a point now where citizens are going to have to, you know, if they're going to, if we're going to remain americans, we're going to have to insist on our constitutional rights, insist on them. our legislators have become feckless in this period. pete: well, joe biden ran on covid-19, yet he just yesterday admitted at the white house there's nothing we can do to change the trajectory of the pandemic in the next several months. so they want to control your life, yet they say there's nothing we can do. >> well, and this is the first sane statement that he's made. [laughter] finish you know, you can't. you can't control a virus are. and when the american people begin to get this in their head that we cannot control the virus, we need to live as normally as we can, you know, that old serenity the prayer
6:20 am
again. god, grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change those things that i and hen the wisdom to know the difference. it applies here so stringently, you know, that we as americans need to take our lives back into our own hands and decide for ourselves what we need to do to protect ourselves. not the government. they're not our mother. they're not our nanny. i'm tired of this governor here in this state pretending she is our mother. she's not. pete: couldn't say it better myself. thank you for charting the way for so many. keep us posted there and good luck to you and every business that -- >> by the way, you still the look like you need a haircut, pete. [laughter] pete: i'll have to make a trip. i would like that. maybe i'll take will with me. all right, hours after signing a federal mask mandate,

[laughter] >> reporter: doing all right, how are you? will: peter, did you correct her afterwards, hey, i'm peter, not steve? did that get worked out? [laughter] >> reporter: i did not, of i didn't have to. i did talk to her yesterday though, and she said sorry and it was not on purpose. so i think first week, a lot of changes. i don't think it's going to happen again. pete: hold on, peter, you're a really nice guy. way nicer than will and i, jed, all of us combined. you're really nice. [laughter] you followed that campaign for a year and a half. everybody there knows peter doocy because you're always asking the tough questions and you're doing it in a fair way, but they don't like it.
6:27 am
so you do believe it was accidental that it was steve doocy after all that time? >> reporter: i do think it was. and in fairness to the new white house press secretary, she was not really around for most of the campaign. she came on in the transition, so in november, and then everything has been because of covid via zoom until this week. so i do think it was an accident. pete: got it. jedediah: peter, i want to ask, were you satisfied with the answer you got when it came to the mask mandate? what i heard was, well, they were celebrating, so am i to assume that if i want to bring my family and we celebrate over there, we can run around maskless? i wasn't satisfied with the answer, were you? >> reporter: it seemed pretty straightforward because, you know, weed asked as people who sit in a little booth in the basement of the press wing of the white house. we saw a photo, it looked like
6:28 am
they were celebrating. we asked, and that was the explanation. so, yes, it seemed like it was a straightforward question and a pretty straightforward answer. will: you know, peter, it does seem the white house is intent on capitalizing what they're calling crises, four different crises they want to address, and that's coming in the form of executive orderses. do you expect it to continue? i know joe biden said, look, we're going to keep going, pedal to the metal when it comes to these executive orders. what are you expecting to come? >> reporter: they want to continue for the first ten days just executive order, executive order, executive order, so we do expect to see some more of it, and they've been staying in this the -- staging this in a way to show he is now president, he's got a zoom screen next to him of a bunch of different advisers, and especially on that first day, they had a e whole stack of folders. it was like a foot and a half tall on his desk, and they sat there and let us watch and get video of him signing them all.
6:29 am
they just are trying to do whatever they can to show that thing it is are operating the way that they want to and that he has the ability to undo a bunch of the things that president trump did like that. pete: peter, congratulations on the new gig. i'll tell you, when those press briefings start, there's one face i'm looking for, and it's peter doocy and when he'll get called on and what that question will be. you carry the burden for a lot of people, and we appreciate it. i know you're new to the job, but it's easy to characterize it as tense during the trump administration. what's the feeling like inside the briefing room in the first few days with joe biden? >> reporter: it's interesting because i have been on the campaign trail for two years, and for the last year of it i really was only ever in the same place as a very small group of people, but we were always spread out. so it is a room where the
6:30 am
covid-19 restrictions are very closely observed, and everybody's just kind of trying to figure out the rhythm of what is jen psaki's style, who is going to ask questions about a certain topic, you know, if somebody else is going to ask about foreign policy every day, is somebody going to be asking about domestic policy, what is it that i can ask to be different. so we're still trying to feel it out. and because part of the rotation the, the covid consideration is that there is a rotation. so every outlet does not get a seat every day. they cycle people in. so i believe that moving forward the same way it was toward the end of trump's administration when they had briefings, i believe it's something like fox gets a seat in there three out of every five like we just continue to -- or it might be more. i'm new. [laughter] but it's a rotation. jedediah: well, you're doing a great job so far, peter, we love watching you. thanks for being with us this

reminds us what a great personality he had. you didn't always see that in his interviews because a lot of times he would step back and really want the guest to shine. but in a lot of moments, he was a funny guy. he himself had a lot to say even though he didn't put himself front and center on those interviews like i said, but he did extraordinarily well in television, in radio, and testifies incredibly compelling -- he was incredibly coppeling in really captivating an audience. i remember seeing some previews, and i'd say, oh, i didn't want to tune in, and i would tune in and say, wow, that was fantastic. unit even know who that person was, but he enabled me to learn so much about them. he was great, and we have a lot to learn are from him, for sure. will: there are very few people that hold down a prime time cable news slot for 25 years. you saw two of them on the screen at the same time in the hannity e and king. king was, in a way, the last of his kind.
6:37 am
it was an interview-driven show. he said at the top of the hour, heard his words, somebody who tried to check his ego at the door and step outside the interview. this about the guest. while not all of the interviews were hard-hitting, they were all interesting, and he was successful, clearly. pete: he was. i mean, those suspenders and the backdrop, there are very few people who work in the cable news business who cut across lines, ideological lines, political lines. he didn't hold animus toward others, it didn't seem, never came across that way in interviews, and when you look across the media spectrum, it doesn't appear anyone holds animus toward him either. this is a guy that did the best he could with the platform he had to give voice to other people, really interesting people at those moments at interesting times, and he did it well. we remember larry king today, for sure. and now we toss it over to rick reichmuth who has some weather. rick: hey, guys, i certainly
6:38 am
always appreciated his long format to really develop an interview, such a wonderful thing that we don't really have anymore. all right, here you go. 45 seconds, the weather. temperatures across parts of the northeast and great lakes, really chilly. it's going to be really breezy. it's tonight, it's tomorrow morning, there is a system that's going to be pulling in across parts of the northern plains bringing some snow, won't cause any significant accumulation. occupant across the west, however, we've got the first kind of series of storms that are lining up here across parts of southern california and around areas of the four corners, and that's any area across the u.s. where we desperately need moisture, i so this is really welcome news. here's today, we go through tomorrow, another batch of energy comes in. we go in towards wednesday, another massive storm moving in here all the way through next saturday we continue to see this exact same storm track. by the time this is done, we're going to likely see a few spots maybe over 10 inches of rain.
6:39 am
that's going to cause problems, mudslides, way too much at one time, but the mountain snow pack across the sierra nevadas, as well as the southern rockies and the mountains of arizona could be some great news for people coming there to help with this drought that's been so extreme. guys, back to you. pete: rick, hurricane season is your long-form season. will: they're just on podcasts now, rick, just not on tv. pete: good point. rick: fair point. pete: he was ahead of his time. rick are, thank you so much. turn now to a few additional headlines. recreational vehicle sales and rentals continue to rev up amid covid-19. vacation hot spots being closed or restricted and work from home trends contributing to the massive gains with one company seeing 400% year-over-year growth. expected to reach $1 billion in sales by the end of next quarter. that's what we use.

6:41 am
you know insider information on this one, will? will: no, but i'd be willing to place a wager. jerry jones has a thing or two to say about that. i mean, texas is cowboys country outside of a little carveout for the houston texans, so i bet jerry jones -- pete: it used to be america's team, now it's texas country and dallas, so they need something -- [laughter] will: yeah, whatever. jedediah: oh, i'm just, i'm going to stay quiet on this one, guys, for obvious reasons. but i think will has a point. you know what, i've seen you more and more as an actual cowboy. i think a cowboy hat might do some good. will: no.

owners have banded together to serve governor gavin newsom with a lawsuit claiming his outdoor dining ban doesn't follow the science and violates the statement's constitution. joining me now are two business owners part of the legal fight. carl dean is owner of sam's general store and cynthia is owner of pizzeria travina, thank you both for joining us this morning. carl, we'll start with you. why did you join this lawsuit? why are you suing the governor? >> we actually started the lawsuit because we wanted to give our employees and our local community a voice. we felt that other businesses, everyone else has been allowed to operate even though there's known science that's proving they have a higher transmission rate than outdoor dining, and we needed to get our operations going. jedediah: yeah, is so, cynthia, let's take a look at some of the sonoma and napa county restrictions. you have outdoor gyms, indoor
6:47 am
retail at 20% capacity, indoor ski resorts and what's banned is indoor and outdoor dining. speak to the hypocritical nature the of what's open and what's closed here, please. >> we just feel like there is no science or data to substantiate a ban on specifically outdoor dining. we're following the protocols of social distancing, sanitizing, mask rules when people are up and down from their tables, and you can go and do all kinds of other things in groups. people are having large indoor gatherings, so we really feel like it's unjust and unfair and arbitrary to shut down outdoor dining when other indoor activities are allowed to continue to go on. jedediah: yeah, you know, carl, one of the things that you've done is just asked for evidence, said, hey, listen, what is the the evidence that supports shutting down outdoor dining. if it's necessary, why in have you ever heard anything back from them in the name of
6:48 am
evidence to support why this is being done? this is something that has perplexed me since minute one. i just don't get it. have you ever gotten any feedback? >> no, and we don't get it either. in fact, if you look at the cases brought around the state, they keep winning, and the governor keeps piling up in appeals just buying himself more time. there is absolutely no data or science that points in that direction. in fact, we're seeing other reports all over the country, in chicago they just came out and said maybe we have this wrong, maybe we should have opened up our outdoor dine, maybe this is pushing people into their homes, into unsafe environments. jedediah: yeah. cynthia, we have governor newsom's response, we will vigorously pond to this lawsuit challenge -- respond to this lawsuit. if you could just speak a bit though to the impact of these orders on your business. what has your business gone through? >> oh, from the beginning, i mean, the roller coaster of mandates, the absolutedowns and
6:49 am
the reopen -- the shutdowns and the reopenings, we have pivoted every single chance that we have to make sure that we keep people safe whether it's plexiglas, taking tables out of service, putting up -- moving tables around, providing masks for all of our employees and customers, we've done everything, and yet we continue to get shut down no matter how hard we try to work to keep everybody safe. and in response to the governor, we're disappointed to the governor that he responded so vehemently like that. i feel compassion for our small businesses and for the employees and for their suffering, we want to bring you to the table to try to work something out, he is trying to vigorously defend himself against small businesses who are really, really suffering and their employees who are really impacted. jedediah: yeah. we feel your pain and the search for answers, and we hope that your businesses are able to sustain themselves. we've seen so much suffering in
