[laughter] steve: thank you very much for joining us. it's already wednesday a busy week. this is big news overnight. a federal judge halls blocked the biden administration hundred day pause on deportations. ainsley: ruling delivering a blow to the administration's first action on immigration. brian: we paused the joe biden video to rev it to reflect the story. griff jenkins joins us from washington as the justice department rolls back zero tolerance immigration rule. did you prepare the report? griff: brian, ainsley and steve you point out it's a blow to the

president's executive action. first of the many that he has issued what this does is suspend's the will are administration's 100 day moratorium on deportations laid out on january 20th memo below. a texas federal judge drew tipton agreeing with texas' attorney general ken paxton who was seeking a temporary restraining order he claims the moratorium could cause imminent and irreparable harm to the state. judge tipton writes the administration fails to consider potential policies more limited in scope and time but it also fails to provide any concrete reasonable justification for a hundred-day pause on deportations. the white house is responding issuing this statement saying we are confident that as the case proceeds, it will be clear that this measure was wholly appropriate in ordering a temporary pause to allow the agency to carefully review its policies, procedures, and enforcement priorities while allowing on greater focus on threat to public safety and national security. this injunction is effective for

14 days as the administration determines their next course of action. meanwhile, the department of justice not commenting on this tee poor station pause ruling. but they have rescinded the trump administration's executive action that established zero tolerance policy towards all migrants crossing the border. applied equally across all it whether individuals or families. the acting attorney general monty wilkerson says the policy instructs prosecutors to act on the merits of the individual cases we could hear more on this by friday when the administration's daily theme of action will be immigration. britain, ainsley, steve? steve: it will, indeed. griff, thank you very much. the lawsuit was prout by the attorney general of texas ken paxton. he celebrated this as a victor on twitter and declared texas the first state in the union he said to bring a lawsuit against the biden administration and we won. and as griff just said today is going to be climate day. we heard from the president that

he has got those four crises that he is working on. he is working on race. is he working on coronavirus. he is working on economy and today, ainsley, he is, woulding on the climate. the big idea is to move away from oil and gas. unfortunately, there are millions of people in the country who have jobs tied to oil and gas. ainsley: that's the thing. republicans penned this letter saying you have to think about the jobs. you sign your name on that executive order and it effects thousands of jobs. they said in their job to joe biden they said studies show it's going to have a damaging effect up and down the energy supply chain. cut 1 million jobs. tee crease the g.d.p. by 700 billion and require us to import 2 million barrels per dave which will weaken the u.s. energy and national security and increase our trade deficit and then we will also be dependent on energy from other countries. brian: so we will lose million barrels of oil exported on a daily basis. so, in other words, if you find yourself energy independent and feel good about one part of our

economy, you no longer can feel good about that because of political correctness and push to green energy which we're clearly not ready to have. george bush ran as an education president who wanted to quickly do immigration reform, but after 9/11 happened, he had to change because we're in the middle of a war on tear. arguably we are still in the middle of. now to me that's what a leader does. again you have intentions but react to the marketplace. right now in the middle of a pandemic with 7% unemployment. it's likely much higher. in a situation where we can get small business standing up again because of this disease we can't get vaccines in everyone's arms because of execution with state. you would think this would not be the time to sign 37 executive orders. it's probably more because the 37 they stopped counting executive orders on the 21st. i think it's like the 25th. the 27th now. so this is really problematic and it shows a lack of leadership, more ideology than it is about leading a country.

steve: it's interesting. the president's pick to run the department of commerce is a woman by the name of gina raymond dough, she is the governor of the great state of rhode island also a venture capitalist. she is a rhodes scholar. she went to yale law school. she has a very impressive resume. she knows exactly what this keystone thing would do to jobs. she knows that. but, at the same time, her boss wants her to do something about the climate crisis. so yesterday she was being grilled by ted cruz and they had some back and forth and you can understand where both sides are coming from. listen to this. >> last week president biden it will signed executive order terminating the he keystone pipeline destroying jobs. what would you say to 11,000 construction workers whose jobs have been destroyed by the stroke of a pen? >> i would say we're going to get you to work.

i would say that climate change is the threat to all of us. and that we will make sure that you have jobs you will have the skills. will will climate change many more jobs created good paying jobs. union jobs. and should i be the commerce secretary he will fight every single day for every american to have a decent paying job and the chance to compete. steve: all right. because today is climate day, we thought we would tell you one of the things she said regarding that she said i know that the climate crisis poses an existential threat to our economy and must meet this challenge by creating of millions of good union jobs. we just heard her say that a moment ago by creating millions of good union jobs that power a more sustainable economy. the question is where will these jobs come from. brian: they don't exist. steve: people like bill copley a

west virginia coal miner on the channel. listen. >> will they say they want us to move to a cleaner future and cleaner type of synergy. the problem is the people that are losing their jobs right now how far out are these cleaner energy jobs and is it the same skill set? is it something people are going to be able to go directly into and how long will it be before they are able to? take a walk in someone like myself's shoes. someone who has been faced with those kind of ramifications to those thousands of jobs it may just be a thousand here and thousand there. for me it's a family of five. it's devastating to see this happen to american workers. ainsley: this is the guy that, remember he pushed the picture over to hillary clinton while she was sitting. here's the picture. and he said look at my family. look at the eyes of my children. you are taking away clothing. you are taking away their food when you take away my job.

brian: yeah. that is about real jobs and real people. we thought we would bring you up close and personal 11,000, 5,000 border people. ainsley: can i throw in one more people? they are saying we will have jobs once we figure out how to do this enviper mentally friendly track. but, if you are trained as a journalist, can you just go get a job working in a completely different entity or different field? steve: people have to be retrained like the guy we had yesterday look, in my town. ainsley: have a walmart. steve: if i don't work in oil and gas i'm going to work at the walmart. the walmart already has their staff filled. ainsley: what if you are 60 and close to retirement? do you think someone else is going to hire you and retrain you? brian: joe biden said two things that stood out on the campaign trail he didn't shoot much. one was why don't you shoot somebody in the leg. law enforcement says you have to shoot for the greatest mass. number two he said, too. we have to get some of these

coal returns to learn to code. fantastic. maybe they don't want to. maybe they chose a different living. i don't know if one goes with another. another interesting approach to an economic crisis and a pandemic let's focus on racial not equality but equity. listen to joe biden later susan rice first. she is the domestic policy adviser. so it's biden first then rice. let's listen: the simple truth is our soul be troubled as long as systemic racism is allowed to persist. we can't eliminate everything but it's corrosive, it's destructive and it's costly. we are not just a nation of morally deprived because of systemic racism. we are also less prosperous. we are less successful. we are less secure. >> his economic plans make historic investments in under served communities and put equity at the heart of our recovery. investing in equity is good for

economic growth and it creates jobs for all americans. that starts with the review of policies and institutions to redress systemic racism where it exists. and to advance equity where we aren't doing enough. brian: i have no idea what that means. talking in such generalities you have no idea what is going to hit you except it is going to be a lot of money and it's going to flow into people that they believe need money. okay. i thought that was called american people number one. number two, they have a great program where they incentivize financial institutions to invest in under privileged neighborhoods, so it becomes a win-win wherever you go. that was if you look to some of the stats that laid the foundation for the success was led by tim scott, signed on by president trump. but because i guess it's republican, that is an issue. there are so many questions to yesterday's generic statements but just look out for the bill, it is coming. steve: well, and in fact we know

what they are going to do today regarding climate. and it actually involves will race which she was talking about yesterday. among other things with this executive order, what they are going to do is it's going to -- the administration will direct the u.s. government to invest in low income and minority communities which are traditionally impacted by polution and improve the conditions in black, hispanic, and native american communities. brian: what does that mean? steve: i'm getting to it, brian. to improve the lives in these communities that are targeted for hazards that others did not want. for instance, the people who live in neighborhoods with power plants or landfills or trash incinerators, shipping ports and factories because ultimately they say there is poor air quality there you will wind up with respiratory problems. you wind up with heart problems. you wind up with covid. so that is what is going to be unveiled later today. brian: going to move people away from power plants? so we are going to get a moving truck.

ainsley: going to give those communities more money. look, the critics are arguing the american dream is equal opportunities. everyone. steve: not equal, equity. ainsley: equal opportunities. equity is equal outcomes. we all want had -- if you make $20 and' 10 you give him 5 so you both make 15. this is what tucker carlson said. brian: yeah, okay. >> tucker: the federal government above all an enormous printing press it manufactures u.s. currency. sentences trillions of dollars every year. according to rice. of that money will now be distributed on the basis of equity. that means will go to people who do not possess, quote, privilege. so let's get very specific about what that means. what precisely is privilege? can privilege be measured? if so, how exactly are we measuring it? can we see the privilege formula? we should see it because a huge amount turns on the definition of this word.

some americans won't get jobs because it's been decided they have too much privilege. others won't get into college or get promoted or win federal contracts. others will see their neighborhoods change dramatically in ways they may not like because of their privilege. they will tell you that is not true but it is true. before any of that happens, the rest of us deserve a clear explanation of what's going on. who is getting rewarded. who is getting punished and why? brian: exactly. what the heck are you talking about? get specific had. how could people not ask those questions. how far could they not be around to submit the program. as ben carson says, as ben carson says i think this whole thing is quite shameful. and in fact race relationships have deteriorated why because of the great infamous create white guilt and black victimhood. results in policies that make no sense. is he not only a brain surgeon who came from nothing and achieved everything he is just out of hud and he sat there in

the most depressived communities one of which was his growing up with a momma was illiterate. two sons one became a lawyer and one a brain surgeon. he knows about obstacles. unfortunateliry in a time which we are in a crisis by looking at joe biden's words it's hard to believe that these programs are priority and there is no consensus, mr. unity, no consensus. meanwhile carley shimkus under our consensus that we toss to you to tell us what else is happening. carley: thank you so much. going to start with a fox news alert. overnight an nypd officer is shot in the back. the plain closed officer was approaching an armed man when he was struck bebelow his bullet proof vest in the bronx. >> tonight we saw extraordinary bravery, extraordinary bravery. the officer, thank god, despite the pain he is in, was in good spirits. thank god it looks like he is going to make a very strong recovery. carley: 31-year-old officer fired back striking the suspect

she drove the car almost all the way out of the garage. somebody drove up and blocked her from moving out all the way i heard her honking the horn at that point in time. went out to see what was going on and i noticed that there was this car this jeep behind her car. as i walked over to see what was going on the jeep started pulling off real quick, backed off. they already shot her. they shot her through the window of the car for no apparent reason, you know that's what happened on that morning. something that has impacted me and my whole family. ainsley: you have two boys state police officers and they don't have their mom. robert, why are you suing

albuquerque? >> well, the lawsuit is based on the fact that this was just so preventable and the murderer his name is tele it's montes he had been deported before that after a 14-year crime spree. each time within a week he makes a beeline back to albuquerque and continues that. and in this case after he was deported in that september of 2019, within a month after him being back he is engaged in another violent robbery that he left this really significant evidentiary trail, blood and fingerprints and the albuquerque police department knew immediately who it was. he also engaged in an attempted murder in october of 2019. again, they knew who this perpetrator was. they didn't file charges.

ainsley: why didn't they? what are they saying? >> they are saying they were continuing the investigation. but that's not the essence of the lawsuit. the lawsuit is that albuquerque since 2018 through our mayor and through our city council has a sanctuary policy that precluded and the albuquerque police department could not make a phone call to federal authorities to pick him up. and that's the lawsuit. ainsley: well, sam, if the administration, the current administration is watching, what message would you like to say when you know and you look at their immigration policy? >> my message would be that you know they should take another look at the policies that they are have in place right now. because if they don't, you know, the whole community is put at risk, you know. we have a place where criminals know where to come. you know, they know the laws sometimes even better than a lot of other people.

and but, you know, the policies need to change. we need to make sure that when we have this type of crime happening in our community that law enforcement works together to prevent some of crimes there need to be a change in policy that would be my message. ainsley: we don't want this to happen to anyone else. >> absolutely. ainsley: sam and robert, wish you all the best. i know we have had you on before. keep us posted so we can continue to follow your story. >> we will. >> thank you. ainsley: god bless you. twitter's new bird watch program aims to tackle misleading information. next guest warns this tool will only cage free speech even more. the push to reopen america's schools getting a boost from a brand new study what researchers are saying. that still ahead.

worked before. steve: that's right. >> steers us toward cancel culture on steroids. no longer directly about the ideas. good thing. people exposed to ideas different than their own heart of free speech is all about. this is different. this is debating who should be permitted eventually to speak or who ultimately should be on the road to having their voice canceled. perverts the kind of debate we are actually supposed to be having about the ideas themselves if that makes sense. brian: ainsley did not post the whales aren't wheel we all know whales are real we think that's a consensus. will vivek. let me ask you, if the big picture in the new york story comes out before the election now there is bird watch, does the story in theory post and people can get in and say right wing hit job, not true, russian disinformation? and is that all in front of us?

that might be missing what is happening here. these policies are changing every day on the fly. it's bird watch today it will be snail watch tomorrow. ultimately are what side of the bed jack dorsey wakes up on a given day. they censor trump and conservatives change their terms of service really on the fly. this really is corporate monarchy and in a way this so-called bird watch program as i see it is a way of papering over the fact this is actually arbitrary rule-making on a daily basis. they have not constrained by the constitution. other than the whims of the people who lead them. call it out what it is as though we are pretending this program isn't just another on the fly decision. steve: i think you are exactly right and get up every day what fire do we need to put out because we are just making this stuff up as we go because 230 has given us all of this liability exemption. you say that joe biden, if he

were a president for all americans, would get jack dorsey on the horn and talk to him about this, right? >> absolutely. i think the single minnesota unifying thing that joe biden could do as an american i'm routing for him to succeed as the leader of this country. step one, the easiest he could do call on every one of these social media giants to restore the accounts of conservatives that were purged over the course of the last couple weeks. you don't unify the country by answering the in and of the people put you in office win the hearts of mind those who disagree with you. restore their voice and down payment on this country going forward. i hope he does it. i'm not holding my breath. i hope he does at this care about unifying this country. if he does, that's the easiest thing he could do as a leader. ainsley: thank you for teaching us about birds and whales and snails this morning got it all in. steve: the animal kingdom. chicago teachers are still refusing to return to the classroom. we speak to a panel of parents

justin, what is your situation at home? >> well, good morning, brian, thanks for having us. our situation for 190,000 students in fairfax county is that we have been locked out of our schools for nearly 330 days now. we feel like charlie brown in that football. we have had three or four return to school plans and just like lucy, our school board yanks that football away at the last second. it's resulted in a way predictable academy and mental health crisis and it's time for us to modify forward. brian: you have got a ninth grader in the school district and you moved your third grader to private school because they are willing to go to school. how is your third grader doing? >> my third grader is doing phenomenally well. i got to say as a parent it's heart breaking that i can only afford to send one of my two kids to private school. my ninth future radar used to be high honor's student. my honor roll student is he struggling academically and emotionally with the closure. whereas my third grader the

schools are in session. we haven't had issues. it's time for the county to make lessons learned from the rest of the industrialized world and local schools right here in fairfax county. we have proven that we have learned about this virus. we can mitigate the virus. we can safely return our kids to school. brian: editorial in the "the washington post" of all things saying, listen, you got vaccinated get back to school. you shouldn't be vaccinating teachers if they are not going to agree ahead of time to do their job or fight their union. let's talk to you, lucy, you are a parent you are dealing with a situation where you have a junior in high school and eighth grader how are they doing? >> oh my gosh, same situation. we have not even gotten the football. we have not even been given the opportunity to even touch the football. >> my children have been home schooling since march of last year. let me tell you that my daughter she is a june your in high school.

she is excelling, doing the best that she can, but this is the time where she is supposed to be thriving even more, talking to school counselors about college. she can't even get a response from her college counselor. she is doing like i said she is doing the best that she can. it's very frustrating. she is 3.5. my will eighth grader on the other hand, this is a pivotal time for him. brian: of course. >> he is supposed to be engaging and thriving and deal with sports, which are gone. is he supposed to be, you know, school crushes. not that you would want to encourage that but at the same time that's a part of this time in his life. and, you know, just having that camaraderie with his teachers and he is dealing with insomnia. he is dealing with struggles in overwhelm. i'm sorry, but i don't deal with 8 hours of zoom calls in my job. and my son does. his eyes are burning.

he is dealing with having to take additional natural supplements in order to sleep better. it's one of those struggles. brian: lucy, wouldn't it be great if he were able to take the money available to public schools and go to private schools in session? >> oh my gosh. the. brian: here is whether a makes it worse the cdc thinks the kids are safer in school. not keeping them safe by keeping them at home. here is a quote. accumulating data that now with high face mask compliance and distancing and cohorting of stupidity to minimize the total number of contacts we can minimize the amount of transmission ins school. they go ton to say the type of rapid spread frequently observed in congregant living facilities or high density work sites has not been reported in education settings in school. justin, how does that make you feel knowing if you follow the science that kids would be in the classroom? >> it's frustrating to see but, unfortunately, our school board

has not followed the science. you know, in response to 300 percent more kids with f's. their response is not to improve education. their response has been to lower the grading standard. in response to our last school delay their response is not trying to figure out a plan to open up school. their response is campaign fundraiser asking our high school students for $250 a plate for their own personal campaign contributions. so it's frustrating as a parent to see our school board ignoring science, ignoring the voices of 190,000 students. ignoring the voices of 250,000 parents and, instead, our school board is resting on a survey of only 1,000 of our 25,000 teachers who don't want to come back to school. it's time for fairfax county to listen to the science. brian: you see "the washington post" written up again today about your state. and lucy, let's just end it here. will you past president say go

back too school and they how irresponsible. current president says we need kids back in school. it doesn't matter, the unions are staring right back at him. what is your message to mayors, governors, and the president? >> get our kids back in school. do what it takes and get our kids back in school, please. brian: it's unbelievable. you are not just speaking for -- as two parents. you are speaking for thousands of parents. and at one point you will have to decide if you are going to packup and go some place else. if you give teachers vaccine and they won't go back to school and fix the ventilation system still won't go back to school you have to pack up and go of course if that's an option. we will continue to follow that it is maddening. democrats scream for a minimum wage hike could soon become a reality in the middle of a pandemic and it it will financial crisis. employers already hit hard by the pandemic. it's unbelievable.

parking lot. and our police had that well at hand. steve: gotcha. >> what gary did was helped us go from a medical type mindset where you pull up and speak to one person to a retail mindset where you figure out how to get as many cars through the first entrance as you can. so there wasn't any traffic in the street. but it was backed up an hour in the huge parking lot. jerry saw the problem and went through it and literally 15, 20 minutes he had the wait time down from one hour down to 15 minutes. and the video that was posted was just to thank him for doing that act. steve: that's fantastic. i know you are going to have another one in about 20 days and he is going to help as well. and you tell us that apparently chick-fil-a the phone is incorporate aring off the hook at their h.q., right. >> yeah and we don't mean to burden chick-fil-a corporately. the story is one local citizen coming to the aid of his local community when we needed him the most. and this vaccine, this is a life-saving event. so we don't mean for, you know,

yesterday's gift to be tomorrow's burden to chick-fil-a but they do deserve the credit because they are very communitied minded and this was jerry helping out his community when it mattered most. steve: knowing chick-fil-a i bet he handed out a the love those free coupons for a sandwich. that's what they do when they have a lot of people in library. mayor, thank you for joining us today from mount pleasant down there in south carolina. of good luck to you. >> thank you, my pleasure. steve: all right. now that is a great story. meanwhile, on this wednesday, it's been a democrat's wish list for years. how the push to force a higher minimum wage on employers could soon become a reality. that's coming up next. ♪ ♪

griff? griff: good morning a lot to report and it is the first legal setback for the administration. because this ruling now suspends the administration's moratorium that was laid out in a memo on inauguration day. federal judge drew tipton granting texas' attorney general ken paxton's request for emergency temporary restraining order claiming that the moratorium could cause, quote, imminent and irreparable harm to the state. tipton writes in the ruling. this. that the administration fails to consider potential policies more limited in scope and time but it also fails to provide any concrete reasonable justification for a 100-day pause on deportations. now the white house has responded issuing a statement saying it's confidents a the state proceeds it will be clear that this measure was wholly appropriate in ordering a temporary pause to allow the agency to carefully review its policies, procedures and enforcement priorities while allowing for a greater focus on threats to public safety and national security.

in texas' aclu chapter blasting it saying paxton, that's the attorney general, sought to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election by attempting to baselessly suppress votes. now he is attempting to force the biden administration to follow trump's xenophobic policies. this will injunction in force for 15 days while they consider the next course of action. the department of justice has rescinded the will are administration's policy illegal immigrants controlsing the border. monty wilkerson says the new policy will instruct prosecutors to act on the merits of individual cases. we may hear more about this guys on friday when the administration's daily theme of action is immigration. brian, ainsley, steve? steve: it will indeed. griff, thank you very much. quote to be embarrassment for the biden administration because they rolled that out this week and ken paxton already had the lawsuit ready.

interesting, the judge could go ahead and narrow the order in the future to be a little more specific. buff right now he has put the kibosh on it. the judge also ordered ice to return to previous operational posture, in other words what they were doing at the conclusion of the trump administration. lara logan, who has seen the border up close and has reported on it had this observation about what joe biden is doing differently than donald trump. >> this administration is shifting from, you know, a policy any kind of policy of border security to one that is about migrant care. and when the acting dhs secretary says that they want safe processing and that they are surging to the border to do that. what that has -- what that effectively means is that they are taking agents off patrolling the border. they are taking agents off security missions. they have will be all diverted to migrant care. what that translates to in some

cases processing. other cases making sandwiches, food, changing diapers. brian: can i just remind you i'm sorry, steve, go ahead. steve: i was going to say ultimately what the judge said was the reason he put the kibosh on it was that it was unfair to the state of texas to switch gears. brian: so $4 billion goes to three triangle countries because we have so much money laying around and didn't earmark what they should do with it to stop the caravans from coming through. look at what happened with the money in the past you can't feel secure about it. what president trump had done was say listen, you are sending people through here. giving you aid. it's going to stop until you do it. they actually stopped and started cooperated and we restored the aid now we are giving them more money to stop people coming to the border. might be fine people. lake british and germans might be fine people and just like israelis and saudis might be fine people. we stopped this movement into our country with people with

passports because of the coronavirus because we got to make sure they are tested ahead of time and got quarantine when they get there. if you just surge to the border you get to stay, it's not fair to the border patrol, number two, number tree, they did not have had enough swabs to handle the d.n.a. testing because there is so many men just grabbing kids to get across here. how far are they going to get enough kits to test these people to not allow our border patrol people to be exposed let alone the ice agents that got to get people who might be criminals and get them out of here but, according to the executive order, as it read that was stopped for 14 days by the judge, everyone gets to stay. ainsley: that's just one of the things they are talking about in washington because of signed this record number of executive orders and actions. there is so much to talk about including what's happening with big tech and how it effects your life if you are a twitter user. there is this new thing called bird watch now so you can add context if you feel like someone's post is misleading or wrong. like a news agency or an elected official. you can write something at the

bottom and debunk what they are saying. so ted cruz said big tech is designating itself to be the sole arbiter of truth. there are a lot of republicans that are slamming this idea. house judiciary g.o.p. says anyone think twitter will actually use this feature fairly? congressman ken buck from colorado republican he said crowd sourced censorship. what could go wrong? and then republicans north carolina congressman dan bishop says twitter turns libs into army of censors feeling very 1984. steve: we had with us just about an hour ago viveking. he went to law school where he was a professor as well. he said what this is this is just the next step, these monday bester monopolies are taking in the tech world toward essentially suppressing a lot of first amendment rights and more americans should be outraged. here he is.

>> >> how is that different than ordinary debate the way the social media sites worked before. it steers us towards cancel culture on steroids. the no longer debating directly about the ideas. people exposed to ideas different than their own heart of what free speech is all about. this is different. about debating who should be permitted to speak or on the road to having their voice canceled. that's a different kind of debate. kind of debate we are actually supposed to be having about the ideas themselves. >> so right about this pull plugs on the political right when they don't do it on the political left. it looks to so much of the population like it's a suppression of free speech which ultimately is censorship. can you believe in 2021 we are

talking about big tech censoring us. and, yet, the government is letting them do it. does that seem right? brian: no, it doesn't. not just republicans upset about it. tulsi gabbard weighed in last night with tucker and she said basically this is the reason why i got in congress these people are out of control. listen. >> we must all take a stand and unite around these principles in our constitution and continue to speak freely. whether it be in person, on the street corner, or on these virtual public squares, these town squares that exist online. big tech is culpable in will they are using monopolistic power to whose voices are heard. the how critical it is that congress take a stand and denounce the you likes of john brennan and adam schiff's actions. because, if we do not and if they do not, then this country

that we love and cherish will no longer exist. are. brian: brit hume perfect guest to end with. went back to jefferson. you don't need less speech you need more speech in times like this. if you don't like what tulsi gabbard or bernie sanders is saying, you come back, you don't ban them. you come back and counter them and speaking of bernie sanders, one of the goals of the democrats is to raise the minimum wage. at this time this might be a laudable goal to some and make sense to others. small business who arguably it hurt worse than anybody else in this economy, certainly not big business and finance if you look at the stock market, they are going to turn around and now get hit with a federal minimum wage of $15. even federal workers going to get their minimum wage doubled. which means if you are making 15, you are now making 30 perhaps. can you afford to do this in times like this? less control is in the business person's hands here is bernie sanders, he believes now is the perfect time.

>> let us be clear, and i don't think there is any debate about this. there ain't nobody in america, not in the north, south, east, o. west, who can survive on $7.50 an hour federal minimum wage. you can't make it 9 bucks. you can't make it on $12 an hour if you work 40 hours a week you should not be living in poverty. now is the time to raise minimum wage to living wage at least $15 an hour. brian: so you know he never had a job in his life always worked for the government mayor, recall vacationing in the soviet union. will have a lack of jobs because currently it until they broke up that's the bad thing about gorbachev he hurt bernie sanders vacation plans. when you are a small business person and then you find out in the mail, for example in california they don't take gratuities into account, you find out you got to pay everyone $15. do you know what you do? you close your doors.

how many jobs can you get? so the $15 minimum wage is going to be a theory, steve, for some businesses that are not going to be able to do it or they are not going to hire people and do these jobs themselves. ainsley: i will tell you even if you don't own a restaurant or a small business, you are still affected. because what will happen is they raise the minimum wage, either people will get fired or they will pass the cost on to you if you are the which you. steve: sure, now we are not talking about it going to $15 an hour immediately. ainsley: overnight, right. steve: no. do you know what the minimum wage is right now are. ainsley: 7.25. are more than double. steve: if it passes this year go to $9.50. $11 next year. and $15 per hour in four years. what the democrat are doing right now would like to pay increase the minimum wage for essential workers. think about it. and we all get that the he the more cost that a small business has imagine you are one of those

people living on minimum wage and you are an essential worker and you had to work during the pandemic, whether it's the person at the grossry store or person who goes and picks up your groceries for instacart or one of those services or if you are working at the loading dock at the pharmacy and things like that. the democrats are saying we are trying to give those social essentialworkers a raise. here is the argument that maybe things have changed a bit. and that during the 020 election down in florida, florida passed it by 60%. they have gone ahead and okayed the minimum wage the 15 a bucks an hour. and a majority of the people who voted for it also voted for donald trump. brian. brian: that is great. that's states making decisions and if they don't like that decision they get voted out people go to the ballot box and do it. i don't think that necessarily flies for indiana. i don't think can you say what is going to happen for oklahoma. that's not the way it is supposed to be. other thing it's 7:25 an hour.

entry level wage. what you do is work your way up on that wage. and if you in the meantime do you what almost everybody else has done in the past. you get another job to supplement as you work your way through. even if it means going to school at night, you find a way. you don't ruin a business in order to i guess, get votes from people. ainsley: been a long time since there has been an increase. they do have to increase it. my concern is though four years is not a long time to double it in four years if you own a restaurant. brian: wages are going up, ainsley with the economy. as the economy grows, the wages were going up naturally organically. you didn't need bernie sanders telling you what you should make, which is a scary proclamation. when the socialist is leading the charge. steve: listen, i have got two members of my immediate family who are adults and who are heads of households are minimum wage employees. and they could use a raise touring the pandemic. so ultimately though, it comes at -- it's a math problem.

you give them -- you give the employee more money than the business has to hire fewer people. you want to hire more people it's just a math thing. here is the thing that it sounds like it could actually come to fruition because bernie sanders is saying he would try to pass this through reconciliation. brian: good. steve: all they need is 50 votes in the senate because kamala harris would say boom, it's a law. brian: i don't know if west virginia is going to be happy about that. joe manchin, got to decide what's best for him. ainsley: all right. 17 manipulation after the top of the hour. president biden taking executive action on racial equality. but rob smith says he has a better idea to help minorities that doesn't involve a phone and a pen. and he is next. plus, american taxpayers could be on the hook. the plan to house homeless and high end hotels still ahead. ♪ steroids. taking my treatment at home.

>> well, we don't know if anything is going to change because we are looking at the text of executive order especially the one about the department of housing and urban development it says taking the steps necessary to redress discriminatory federal housing policies. blah blah blah. so it's a lot of word soup that doesn't actually do anything. and now this makes me think back to the previous administration when we had hud official lynn patton, she actually went into under performing housing projects in new york spent the night in them and actually shone a light on what was going on. we found out it was lower level mismanagement and bureaucracy that was affecting that. so, with these executive actions, we see a lot of words. we see a lot of things that are designed to make people feel better but we don't see a lot of actions to actually do anything. and i will tell you furthermore that the left's policy is always looking back to historical discrimination to remind african-americans that we are victims because it's the only way the democrats see us.

so instead of giving us opportunity right now and talking about what we are going to do right now for the future, they remained mired in the past. brian: here is some of what they put together of what they announced yesterday will direct hud housing policies deemed as discriminatory. review contracts for private prisons. recommit the federal government to respect tribal sovereignty. i guess native americans and condemn and denounce bias and discrimination against asian americans and pacific islanders. a lot of generic phrases. the private prisons were put out there because they were more effective and they were held accountable. if you consider that an issue of race, all right. what are the policies that need to be addressed? if it's the 1960s you see some of the horrendous stuff going on especially in the south and you say wow, that's way overdue. now we are getting more subtle. i would like to see specifically what he is talking about and see if it's going to do more harm than good.

>> i don't know what he is talking about. you don't know what he is talking about and he probably doesn't know what he is talking about either which is part of the problem. the whole elimination of private prison things we all know that's just going to, you know, send more federal money to government-run prisons. so that's not even really a thick. but the unfortunate thing about this right now is that you know and the previous administration the past couple of years we had opportunity zones. we had opportunity zones that were bringing billions of dollars in investment to lower income communities creating opportunities, creating job opportunities, creating entrepreneurship opportunities. and now that conversation about how to help african-americans and/or lower income communities is not happening anymore. and now we get word soup. we get lots of words. we get lots of empty phrases that are not necessarily followed with a whole lot of action. and i think that's what we're going to be seeing a lot of in the next four years. it's really unfortunate because of there are people that are

falling for this. steve: equity over equality. real quick, can you weigh in on that? >> i have -- word soup, brian. i don't know what this means. okay? i don't know whether a this means. and they don't know whether a it means either. i'm tired of word soup. i'm tired of lofty rhetoric. what people want to see is results. brian: yeah. listen, everybody i know would love to help. the racism that's out there count everybody in. i don't know if this is inclusive. i don't even know what this does. but we are about to find out. rob smith, thanks so much. >> thanks, brian. brian: meanwhile, we change gears as many restaurants have been forced to shut their doors because of the pandemic. one owner is making a plea to congress to save history. we will talk to him next. ♪

the country. and, you know, over 2 and a half million have lost their job during this thing. there are also another 5 million ancillary jobs. farmers, fishermen, those families are at risk right now. ainsley: what could you -- what's your message to washington? i know you worked with senator wicker to push the restaurants act and that did not pass. what's your message to them? what do you need. >> i will tell you exactly what we need and absolutely senator wicker from my home state of mississippi did a great job introducing that in the senate. and he teamed up with senator cinema and they made a great team. we had 5 senators on board who had signed up. it passed the house, congressman blume hour's version in the house passed and so what we need to do is, as you know, all bills once there is a new congress, you know, are gone and they have to start again. we need congress to pass the restaurants act. and there is no reason -- this

was a bipartisan support in the senate. you had senator durbin, senator schumer, and at the same time you had lindsey graham, and you had senator cornyn came together because they understand and in the house you have got people like dan crenshaw who has been very vocal about the restaurant business and what kind of shape we are in. and i will tell you right now if president biden and congress want to make an impact in the unemployment numbers, you can reduce that right now 2.4% with the stroke of a pen, just sign the restaurants act. get it back in. reintroduce it and get this thing done. this is brutal. it's brutal out here. i'm in a hattiesburg, mississippi. we are a town of about 45,000 people. we have had anywhere from a dozen ton two dozen condition locally owned independent restaurants closed. none of the national chains or fast food places have closed. they are packed. they have lines in the

drive-thru. but independent restaurants just north of new orleans. new orleans is dying on the vine right now because there is nobody traveling. there is no tourism. and here's the thing about restaurants is we are just kind of -- restaurant owners we are ill equipped to ask for help. we just don't do that 2008 came. the financial crisis came. we got hit like everybody else got hit. you didn't hear anything from us. i'm in a part of the country the hurricane was come through all the time there were six in our region this year we are used to that we have controversy and hitch our britches and get back to work. this is different. this time it's different. ainsley: robert, i hope they hear you for so many months they weren't giving you the ppp because congress wasn't passing anything. i know a lot of restaurant closed during that imtoo. keep fighting, robert. if you live in his area, please visit his restaurant. >> go to save restaurants.com. ainsley: save restaurants.com. president biden shattering

regulations and the next thing you know you have a federal judge somewhere saying you can't do it. now the shoe is on the other foot. >> well, the shoe is on the other foot. i can tell you the biden administration has been setting records in their executive orders with some '7 record executive orders here in the first six days. but the judge got it right. it's not really well thought through. i mean, president trump put america first. what we're seeing is that president biden is putting america last and whether it's our border policy or any of the other executive orders that he is putting forth, it's going to have a real chilling effect on jobs. ainsley: he said he was going to unify but a lot of republicans are saying this is not unifying when you are undoing the majority of what president trump did. things that we all liked, they are saying. so on today, the climate crisis is the topic. tomorrow it's healthcare and friday it's immigration. what is your message to the

folks now in washington? is this going to backfire or is america going to love this? >> well, i think it is going to backfire because it's actually going to effect wages on main street america. when we start to a look at, you know, they are talking about increasing the federal minimum wage, well, it's because they are going to have to mandate it under president trump. we know that his policies actually increased wages. perhaps by the largest amount that we have seen in decades. and, yet, here we are starting to see an executive order that is supposed to unify us. ainsley, you said it exactly right. you know, is the speech that was given on inauguration day on the 20th just rhetoric? well, i guess so. i mean, we are seeing that their first legislative priority in congress is impeachment. i don't know how that unifies america. we need to be about creating jobs and making sure we put people back to work. brian: mark, in retrospect was that rally on january 5th or

6th, was that a good idea? >> when we start looking at the rally, brian, we are focused more on that than we are really we need to be focused on today when we start to look at america, it needs to be about what is posh to people on main street. and that's what the president did. he put america first as we start to look at that as we are going forward, hopefully we will get beyond. this there was a vote yesterday in the senate that suggested that 45 senators said that it was unconstitutional. let's get on and be focused on what's important to the american people. steve: well, one u69 things that is really important to the american people as you know, mr. >> yeah. steve: yesterday it was announced that the federal government is buying 200 million more doses. the "new york times," i believe yesterday had a story about how today is going to be climate day at the white house where they talk about the changes are going to make. they are considering letting

fema re-purpose a big part of it overall disaster budget and use up to $10 billion of fema emergency covid money for climate change projects. you got to think that the average person watching right now thinks you know, we have a pandemic. we should probably spent covid money on covid and not climate change at this point. >> listen, we see the radical left coming forward with their priorities and it's a real head scratcher when you start to look at fema's critical role in making sure that vaccines get to the american people, they have played a very pivotal role in making sure that those get distributed in an equitable way. and, yet, we are going to reallocate $10 billion to climate change? listen, when most people get up this morning or have -- when they got up this morning, they didn't look at it and say that their number one priority was climate. they probably looked at it as

the virus. we need to encould the priority where it is. ainsley: you left being a congressman to join the president to be his chief of staff. and that all changed last week. what are you going to do now? >> you know, i'm going to join conservative partnership institute as a senior partner with them. i will actually start today. looking forward to that. and it's actually a network, a hub network that brings conservative groups together, conservative members together to better serve and empower those members and organizations to serve the forgotten men and women. i'm looking forward to joining the great team there and we are going to continue to make sure we place a priority on the american people and that job starts today. brian: morning consult poll asks republicans what do you think of donald trump. 456% want him to run for president again. do you think he will? >> you know, that's a decision

that president trump is going to have to make in the coming months and i can tell you that there is still an overwhelming support for his america first policies. he continues to get people to urge him to do exactly that. i'm hopeful that he's going to take a little bit of time improving his golf game and so if he can do that but i can tell you that america still understands that when you put them first, they want to reward that. and they want someone who will change washington, d.c. and certainly he was able to do that. brian: all right. mark meadows, thanks. good luck with your new job. >> thank you. brian: we move ahead. president biden fully funding assistance to shelter the homeless even in san francisco hotels. we will talk to a resident of that city who is calling for more accountability from his leaders. you think? d that guy does, too.

steve: welcome back, hotels that are housing the homeless, hotels in strand are getting an added boost of money from the administration. the president joe biden ordering federal assistance set the start of the pandemic 100 percent footing the entire bill for

millions of dollars more a month with taxpayer dollars. but our next guest who is a san francisco resident says the city needs to be held accountable for it mismanaging during this homeless epidemic. greenberg joins us right now from san francisco. richie, good morning to you. >> good morning. it's a pleasure to be back. steve: it's great to have you as well. so, because of poor planning and for a variety of reasons, san francisco is putting thousands of people up at hotels. and now the federal government has said, you know what? because there is a pandemic and you need help, we will reimburse you at 100 percent. that seems like a lot. >> it's absolutely a lookout. you know, taxpayers should be outraged. american taxpayers should be outraged here in san francisco over the years there has been just so many taxis leyyed on us, property taxes business taxes going toward helping the

homeless with no accountability. and now the american taxpayer is being hit with no accountability. i will say it again, accountability is lacking. steve: no kidding. so if tax money for years has been going to the homeless, you know, you would take that money and build some facilities. rather than have to put people up at hotels. and ultimately, in addition to being poor at planning, as well, they didn't -- they have not really addressed the root issues of why people are sleeping and living on the streets. >> that's absolutely right. and the main factor that we are finding here is drug addiction. drug abuse, the drug dealers that are being protected by our san francisco district attorney arrest the drug dealers to get them off the streets. there are so many factors here. and now with this extra money coming in, the people who are celebrating the most are those

homeless advocates, the people who are helping with managing the homeless outreach and their supporters in the city hall. that's where the money is going. and because no accountability. there is no one answerable to taxpayers. local or the country taxpayers now. we have no way of knowing where the money is actually going. it's coming in to the city then it's being distributed out to these homeless outreach organizations and that's where the -- and we have no idea where it's being spent. >> well then where is nancy pelosi? she is a san francisco resident. she is the top of the house of representatives. you would think show would want some accountability, wouldn't you? >> well, one would think. that's right. one would think. but, you know, she is too busy presiding over impeachments and things like that. so, yeah, she is basically useless in this case. she is not hands on here at all. steve: richy, it's not just a local problem. i was reading that so many people have applied for unemployment and a lot of people

are hurting out there. but, they estimated yesterday the secretary of labor said that $11 billion, it sounds like, has been given to the wrong people because they are just faking it. it's fraud. >> it is fraud. and it's -- i have seen now in reports yesterday it could be as high as 31 billion, which put that in perspective the biggest fraud that we have so far in history is bernie madoff and i think that was 18 billion. this is going to eclipse that. also here in california, one would think in san francisco that we have the best technology, the best programmers and coders that they could find some way to go through and manage all of the distribution through our edd that's the name of the organization here the government agency that hands out all the fund funding and that's not true. we simply don't have that kind of are tech talent to be

monitoring all of that and to help stop the fraud. steve: it could be $30 billion. you have got to get the money back from these people. it doesn't belong to. >> oh, exactly; however, they are identifying going off to nigeria to russians, to chinese, and that's where it lands. how do you get that back? steve: for the state of california to be sending unemployment check overseas is just in they. richie greenberg from san francisco, sir, thank you very much. >> thank you. steve: what a mess. meanwhile still ahead democrat pushing plans are attacks the court. republicans fighting back. marco rubio coming up shortly ♪ my nunormal: fewer asthma attacks.

getting his first taste of it, by his 100 a moratorium. and best restraining order claiming a moratorium, judge tipton writing this. and with a 100 day pies on deportation. we are confident the case received will be cleared this session was fully appropriate ordering a temporary applause to agencies to review policies with enforcement priorities, with a focus on threats for national security. this lasts 14 days, it is not clear what the administration will do with administrative

action but as i mentioned fox news is obtaining the memo by acting attorney general monte wilkinson, four simple paragraphs rescinding the administration of 0-tolerance policy, and and it is inconsistent with doj principles. the daily theme of action might be immigration. >> with 37 plus, joe biden bypassing something he did for a living and that is legislate. republicans have written a letter.

number one priority was climate, they looked at it as the virus, we meet a key priority where it is. brian: if we try to move away from oil and gas millions of people get their jobs through the oil and gas industry but new members of the administration say we will find you some jobs there is no guarantee of that. if they are going to knock people out of jobs the federal government should guarantee them some sort of income. otherwise where are they going to be? flat on their keisters with no money to pay their bills. this is what it comes down to, in the name of climate justice, people will lose their jobs. when you make an omelette you will break some eggs. some people are going to lose their jobs. 11,000 through keystone, how many millions --

jobs including 8000 union jobs. confirmed as secretary of commerce, what would you say to those 11,000 construction workers whose jobs have been destroyed by the stroke of a pen? >> we will get you to work. climate change is a threat to all of us and we will make sure you have jobs, you have the skills you need to have a job and to meet the needs of climate change there are many more jobs, good paying jobs, union jobs and should i be commerce secretary i would say every single day for every american, there's a chance to compete. >> when he interviewed the man, we played a soundbite yesterday, sean kept saying

your union supported joe biden, your union is supporting the guy who was killing the keystone pipeline and he said i want to talk about the unions, how this affects my family and puts food on the table for my kids and 3 boys and it reminded me of the guy when hillary clinton was running, i'm going to destroy the coal mining industry, here is the picture from 2016, that guy pushed the picture, his family, these are the people when you cut the coal industry, your cutting food, clothing from my child's life. >> they want us to move toward a cleaner future, cleaner type of energy but the problem is people losing their jobs right now, into the same skill set, something people will go directly into and how long will it be before they are able to take a walk in someone like myself's shoes, someone faced with those ramifications to those thousands of jobs, may

not be 1000 euros thousand there, it is devastating to see this happen to american workers. brian: you want to get your own job, you had one, they took it away for no reason, talk about fracking and natural gas, clean energy, pipelines, 0 carbon footprint, this is all about an agenda that makes it more agonizing. let's change gears, talk about big tech, the responsibility in censuring you. it is called bird watch. it will give you an opportunity to offer your opinions on what other people post except if you are dana lash, she asked to be part of bird watch but they said we have a problem with you. >> whales are not real, what i read earlier. brian: i didn't see that. ainsley: someone commented underneath that is misinformation.

steve: because she had a comment about twitter, the new york post story on hunter biden, they wrote her back and said you are not eligible for bird watch because of that. you have to be eligible to oversee somebody you don't know's tweets and statements like whales are real or ainslie is also real. brian: and she is unless she is a hologram. a pilot program, only 1000 people are part of it right now but here's the thing. to allow anybody to post something on twitter, anybody else, that is misinformation. you put something on foxnews.com, and actual news story and people argue with the actual facts. we spoke to someone who spends every day thinking about big tech and how it is impacting your life.

this is another example how these monster monopolies lean way to the left, trying to have an impact on your freedom of speech. >> how is that different from ordinary debate in how social media sites worked before. the reason is different. it steers us towards cancel culture on steroids. we are no longer debating about the idea. that is a good thing. people being exposed to ideas different from their own, that is what free speech is all about. this is different. this is about debating who should be permitted to speak or who should be on the road to having their voice canceled. it is a divisive debate and prevents the debate we are supposed to have about the ideas themselves. ainsley: ted cruz talking about big tech, he said it is the sole arbiter of truth. brian: unregulated.

>> interiors competition with china, a defining feature of the 21st-century, the comments don't change anything.

this requires a strategic and new approach forward. steve: new from when joe biden was last in office or new from donald trump. the press secretary brushing a failed threats from chinese president xi jinping to the world economic forum, to start a new cold war, to reject and intimidate others, willfully imposed a slight -- supply disruptions to create isolation or estrangement will only push the world into division and even confrontation. the administration's new approach to be enough to take on beijing or placate them? what do you think the approach will be? let's bring in florida senator marco rubio. where do you think the biden administration heads out with china? >> i hope they follow a bipartisan consensus. when change has been dramatic, there are not many voices

saying, brought agreement there has to be a rethinking, that is the direction but you have seen washington remains heavily populated by parents and followers of that idea that china is a poor country and once they get rich they become more like us, we have to keep an eye on that. i worry they may say the right things but not be truly committed to it and put a bunch of people in positions who will say what they need to get appointed or in positions of government but are not real believers the us and china are locked into the strategic competition. steve: if we are serious about it we were get our allies who are fighting the chinese by risk, thanks to china we are in a world global pandemic. europe is flat on its back, you

see, it was china's fault. is it not an opportunity for this menace or they recognize that. >> you can see in europe a lot of countries look at it, they were concerned about the problem, the unfairness the way china does business, how vulnerable they are in supply chains or international security to deal with the pandemic. there are already countries concerned about that and taking their own steps, they balance that without being completely cut off but they -- 5g is a great example, what we need is for free countries of the world to come together and create an alternative to huawei. it will take some leadership. steve: i find it disconcerting.

something else you find disconcerting is a move by democrats to do something we feared as an american, that is pack the courts. you are blocking an amendment to block court packing. this is a reality. they are moving in that direction. eric older is pushing them to do it. >> i filed that amendment last year. i filed it before we had the amy barrett hearings. this is where the radical base is demanding, that was their plan and their intent all along and we have to be prepared for it. if they are not in fact planning to do it they should be supported with constitutional amendment i'm offering which would make the number we have in the court permanent so you don't start using the number of justices on the court as a political strategy. a new administration, and 25 members of the supreme court.

steve: you would think democrats would understand some things to be left. i'm stunned by the number of executive orders that negatively affect the job market for ideology. the green push, thousands of jobs lost, lack of drilling on federal land, thousands of jobs lost. thousand lost, you stop the wall that was already paid for. were you expecting this? >> we haven't seen this many executive orders in such a short go of time but i expected it. left of center people and far left people -- i care about working people, jobs, want to help them, and the keystone pipeline does nothing for the environment, does nothing for the environment but accept the canadian allies, 11,000 families on the unemployment line.
