it is presidents' day. george washington's birthday. we are proud of that jillian, steve, good morning. jillian: good morning. steve: good to have you. jillian: do you think brian found out i was going to be here and decided to take off? steve: for the week. well, you know, because it's presidents' day and president's week and a lot of schools have today off. today is a holiday for a lot of people. i would imagine a lot of people who normally would be watching are actually sleeping right now. jillian: lucky them. pete: great. let's just cancel it. steve: we have lots to talk about, you know. jillian: yes we do and we begin here. rich edson is live in washington with the biden administration's immigration policies. good morning, rich with the latest. >> good morning, steve, jillian and pete. president biden is dismantling the trump administration remain in mexico policy. that's where migrants applying for asylum wait for mexico instead of the u.s. while the u.s. courts consider their application us. the secretary of homeland

security says this latest action is another step in our commitment to reform immigration policies that do not align with our nation's values. the department says this week it will begin to gradually allow about 25,000 asylum applicant can'ting into the u.s. issuing them notices to appear in court. and some republicans are jumping on the administration. >> this is all political. so he is opening the border. is he letting illegals pour in. they are not doing any covid tests. wonderful yet he wants to potentially make you take a test if you just get on an airplane and fly from one american city to the next? >> the international organization for migration says it will test the migrants for covid-19 before they enter the u.s. the changes in policy have also prompted confusion as immigration and customs enforcement nearly released three men convicted of sex offenses against children. ice says it, quote, makes arrests and it determination on

case-by-case basis based on the totality of the circumstances and does so in compliance with federal law and agency policy. the three men remains in custody after discussions between texas' prison system and immigration officials. back to you guys. pete: rich, thank you so much. think about the level of confusion that has to exist if you are taking it on a case-by-case basis as dealing with illegals and you are almost releasing sex offenders in the process because you are not sure if that meets the threshold of cooperating with ice. certainly a new era and a lot of opportunity for bad people to be released improperly. steve: the problem was, it wasn't -- in the beginning a case-by-case basis. pete: no. steve: in the beginning, in his first couple days with that executive order joe biden signed the executive order, and it pretty much sounded to a bunch of people like oh, we just stopped all deportations. in fact, after the foxnews.com right now, there is a great article that goes into all of this. and it talks about how a field agency -- field officers had

emailed each over and they wrote that agents were being instructed to stop all deportations and release them. release them all immediately. and that guidance was, as rich was talking about, was later retracted by a supervisor. and it was the governor of the great state of texas, governor abbott who said hey, he tweeted out. hey, they are about to release these sex offenders, people who have been accused of this and convicted of it. maybe the attorney general should look into it and that is what put the brakes on it, jillian. jillian: he tweeted that out on february 5th saying biden's immigration policy is threatening safety in texas. went on to say exactly what you just said about the texas a.g. saying that he should take legal action. look. detaper requests dropped against these 26 people, a lot of these were convicted of drug charges or drunk driving offenses and, do you know what? you guys know, we have talked to angel parents on this show and other shows a million times you

hear their stories about losing their children due to illegal immigrants who have been in country driving drunk, their child died on the side of a road. and you think about that and it is absolutely awful and gut-wrenching every time you talk to one of those angel parents. and two convicted of sexually assaulting a teenager. one convicted of indecency of a child. that was the details of those 26. steve: aggravated felonies by the executive order itself they should not have been released and, yet, that close. pete: that close because there is that level of confusion. there is now a default release prerogative. coming from this administration. these sanctuary cities have almost become a sanctuary country. that's a point that tom homan, who is the retired acting ice director has made time and time again. here is a portion of what he said yesterday. >> isis lost 95% of their criminal targets they arrest every year. criminal targets people convicted of crimes. 95% are off the table. the biden administration says

public safety is still important. obviously not because dui is a public safety issue. over 10,000 people a year died in did. uis if joe biden ever sat down and talked to an angel mom or dad i have met hundreds of them whose children were killed by someone here illegally over a dui. they lost their children. this is disengenerallous to say sex offenders are still a priority. we are not going to let these big cities change the way they conduct business with ice and how they conduct business with ice? they don't. they don't were accept their tee takenner. this is disingenuous. this is a false narrative to the american people. steve: in the meantime it, looks as if democrats are going to unveil a big immigration bill this week on capitol hill, but they are looking at things that they can get together on. you know, in a bipartisan way things like refugees and also the dreamers and don't rook for the big plan which a lot of democrats are interested in. meanwhile, we have been waiting for the cdc to come out with

their new and improved guidelines for opening schools. came out on friday. as it turns out. the new and improved rules are pretty much the same rules we had before. in some cases you need to social distancing and masks and whatever they can do. but, it does not require teachers to get the shot before they go back to school. watch this. here's the cdc director saying just that. yesterday on "fox news sunday." >> even in the areas of the highest community spread, we are advocating with the strict mitigation measures that you described including universal and mandatory masking as well as six foot of distancing that at least our k to 5 children should be able to get back to school. at least in a hybrid mode. our other guidance on who should be vaccinated suggest that teachers should be prioritized in the 1 b group. but from a scientific standpoint we know it's possible to reopen schools safely without all of the teachers being vaccinated. steve: okay. that's what she said yesterday. and in fact she was asked, you

know, are you saying this in your personal capacity because when you said it last week jen psaki said yeah, she wasn't speaking as the head of the cdc. yesterday she was in fact speaks as the head of the cdc it. could not have been clearer, jillian, she said schools can open without teachers getting the shot. but a lot of unions say we are not coming back until we get the shot. other unions are saying we are not come back until we get the shot and they change the heating and the air conditioning in this building. jillian: you just made the point i was about to make. steve: i'm sorry. jillian: a lot of teacher's unions are arguing they want all of their teachers to be vaccinated. a lot of these inner cities you do have buildings that are 100 plus years old. a lot of teachers argue we need better ventilation. we need to know what these schools have done in order to make us safe. the question is we are going on a year now, why hasn't this been done then? i think that's one of the things that a lot of people have been asking. then you have schools in iowa

where governor says we have been open for months take a listen. >> for the vast majority of our school district have been open and kids have been in the classroom since august. and we have done it safely and responsibly. but some of our largest school districts refused and our kid are paying a price because of it. and so what i saw was a tremendous grassroots organization of parents and teachers and kids and we said enough is enough. if the pandemic has shown us one thing, it's that parents need choice. and so i said our kids can't wait any longer. so what we did was we passed a bill that said every school district must offer parents the option to have their children in school full time monday through friday. pete: you know, guys, not every state has the good fortune having a governor going back to school. will precisely same guidance came out under the trump administration. wash your hands, social dance,

wear a mask. there is no secret recipe for this necessarily. but, ultimately, i mean, it's not just demands of tea party's unions on ventilation, steve. some of these big cities defunding the police and stopping rent foreclosures. they are throwing the grab bag of left wing policies in there that have absolutely nothing to do with kids and only exacerbating the achievement gap which already exists between a lot of these public schools versus people that can afford to send their kids to private schools wide open right now and learning in person. steve: you know, talk about defunding the police, it started in a lot of cases in minneapolis. now they are actually refunding the police because they have gotten so far out of hand they are now giving close to $5 million so they can get more police on the streets. pete: because they have lost so many. steve: they did indeed. the problem with what we are seeing is if your school has not gone back to full time so far, the chances are they are not going to go back this year.

man,. jillian: we'll continue to follow that meantime there is a story out of california, adam garcia, a california police officer, been in law enforcement for nearly 20 years. he talks about how he says failed policies there have made the state a safe haven for criminals and caused violence to skyrocket. go ahead and pull this quote up here. talking about the whole recall gavin newsom. newsroom's job was to help us return to life as safely as possible while safely returning through covid. he shut everybody down. what i think what you are seeing right now is the totality of everything. business owners have a reason not to trust him. schools have a different reason not to trust him. if you look at everybody throughout california, all have a different type of background that is leading to their decision to want him recalled. what do you think about what he has to say about this, steve? steve: i was going to say what's very powerful about what he said, like you said 20 years in law enforcement. he was in front of the chino,

california city council and he was urging the entire town council to sign the recall event. pete: which is going to happen they reached the 1.5. going to go well beyond it to make sure they are safe. when every group has a different reason to want to recall you, it's because your governing philosophy overall is flawed. for gavin newsom in california is completely left wing. contrast that with florida and ron desantis who across the board has been willing to assert conservative governance and i don't know if you are allowed to attempt to recall the governor there, you don't hear any of that or any rumblings of dissatisfaction there because he respects the people enough. there isn't the hype is i of you the rules don't apply to me. they do to you. it's a different philosophy and form of governance which changes the lives of people. steve: on saturday, while pete was working, they announced that they had hit their target of 1.5 million signatures on the petition.

but it earlier on the fox news channel he said that's the goal but actually we're going to go for half a million extra. watch this. >> we know that gavin newsom is desperate right now. we know that his political future is blowing up before him. and the big announcement is that we have reached the minimum threshold but we are not done yet and we want to get the 2 million signatures. we don't want to leave any doubt in anybody's mind the validity and veracity of our people out there that are working so tirelessly every single day and have been working like this, todd for 8 months. it's an inspiration. jillian: that was randy economy. one more note to adam garcia the 20 year law officer he says if gavin newsom survives the recall if he remains in office i don't think it will be a wake-up call for him at all. you will see a greater exodus out of california which would be interesting to see on the back end of this if gavin newsom does

survivor this recall what's going to happen for a lot of people who are fed up with how things are happening in california right now. pete: good point. a lot happen between now and then. the recall election could be around late summer or august. all right a few additional headlines for you as well. here to deliver them ashley strohmier good morning. >> good morning. begin request our headlines with this. senator lindsey graham warns mitch mcconnell's speech blasting former president trump could be used against the g.o.p., listen. >> open pandora's box i don't know how he doesn't get impeached if they take over the house. >> graham levels the same charges against president trump could be used in a case against the vice president kamala harris after she supported a fund that bailed out black lives matter protesters last summer. and the u.s. seeing the rate of new covid cases dropped to its lowest level in months. according to johns hopkins the seven day average of new cases dropped below 100,000 for the first time since november.

more than 82,000 new cases and more than 3,000 deaths were reported sunday. the country has reported nearly 28 million cases and 485,000 deaths. overnight, the daytona 500 ending in a fiery fashion, take a look. >> whoa, it around they go and a hard crash. kyle busch. >> austin car hit by kyle busch. >> mcdowell is first to the line but will have to go back to the moment of caution. i ware itnever gets easier watce crashes. mcdowel's first career win in 358 starts. the crash was the second of the race. the first happening just 15 laps in. 13 this one took out 16 drivers. the great american race taking nine hours to complete following a rain delay.

driver -- one of the drivers used the delay to get his crew some food at mcdonald's drive-thru. adam mcdowell will join us live this morning. back to you guys. steve: he posted i think i was reading this morning he and his wife, the driver in the drive-thru window had also gone to another place. but hey i have got to get something for the crew went to mcdonald's and got the great big bag of stuff. jillian: following your lead, pete. pete: i didn't know that was good for the car. i thought the tires had to still be -- it. jillian: minor details. steve: i don't know that is the stock car that could actually be the family car. >> maybe. jillian: maybe. pete: the door didn't look like a race driving door. jillian: you have to crawl out of. steve: people spray with you pam and slide you out of there. pete: attention to detail.

steve: thank you for this holiday monday. the lincoln project facing another scandal this time dealing with millions of dollars pocketed by the anti-trump group's leaders. where the money was really going and where people thought it was going to go. on this presidents' day the most important yet as our past leaders face being canceled. sorry, abe, george. presidents' day cancel culture straight ahead.

pete: anti-trump lip con project under fire president group's spending practices and more. for records show of the 90 million raised by the super pac. more than half went to companies run by it founders. our next guest says what's long been expected has long been proven true. bring in the president of district media group beverly hallberg. beverly, thanks so much for being here. when you look at the money and the amount that went to the founders is this how d.c. works? >> special. 90 million raised going to their firms. roughly a third of this money 90 million spent on paid advertising. with so much of it going directly to these firms, how exactly do they answer to their donors who ask them to go out and attack donald trump and attack republicans which they did but they also lined their pockets at the same time and, of course, this is coming at the same time that you have the

sexual harassment allegations against their co-founder john weaver. i think this group has a lot to answer for. because one of their big narratives of the lincoln group was that they held themselves as the republicans that were principled. that they were different than donald trump. they were different than other republicans. enough to seeing two scandals one with the money and also one with the sexual harassment allegation and i think they have a lot to answer for. pete: beverly, they were all about accountability, right? ultimately they were an anti trump group. why we learning about all of this now when so much of this was sort of an open secret. reporters would have known it. people were talking about it but they had another job to do through november. >> yeah. this has been a well-known secret in washington, d.c. for years that there have been these sexual harassment allegations against their co-founder. each with these rumors swirling around, you had them being lauded as trailblazers by many in the media on msnbc and on cnn. even in october there was a

fluff piece that "60 minutes" did on this group right before the election and of course after these rumors were already circling about. here's what i want to know whether it's the scandal of the lincoln project. the scandal with andrew cuomo and the nursing home deaths and even the scandal with hunter biden and the laptop is why is the media abdicating it duty. seems to mow working hand in hand with anyone who has the same goal of them. that is giving them a platform if they are against republicans and especially in 2020 if they were against president donald trump. pete: a lot of co-founders of the lincoln project regulars or contributors at msnbc held up part of the conversation as well. they were happy to use them when they were useful for their perspective. now they are happy to get rid of them once there is a pesky detail that everybody knew. >> yeah. let's look at the timing as well. when these stories are coming out or being made public. even whether it comes to andrew cuomo and the nursing home deaths as you know, fox news own

janice dean has been hammering on that issue for months. it comes after joe biden is inaugurated as president. so, i think we have to be looking at the timing which is suspect. it seems when it doesn't serve the media's purpose anymore to rail against republicans and rail against president donald trump. they are more than willing to throw their own under the bus. i think that's what we are seeing at this time. pete: makes you think there might be an agenda behind it awesome beverly hallberg thank you for your time. >> thank you. pete: calls to hold governor cuomo accountable an down playing the number of nursing home deaths. our next guest lost their mother after contracting covid inside a new york nursing home and they are demanding answers.

cuomo after a top aide admitted to down playing nursing home deaths. cuomo has been silent on the matter but made these statements on the nursing home crisis a few weeks ago. >> whether a person died in a hospital or died in a nursing home, it's -- the people died. people died. but who cares died in a hospital, died in the nursing home, they died. jillian: three people who certainly do care a lot are cindy lizzy and her brothers ted and phil, their mom died in the spring after contracting covid-19 in a new york nursing home and they join me now this morning. thank you for being here. sad to talk to you under these circumstances. phil, i will start with you. do you finally feel like you are on the verge of getting answers? >> i think we are. i think because it's -- the -- we always thought that it should

never be a partisan issue and now i think that both parties in our state are coming together and wanting justice for all those who were killed in nursing homes transported to hospitals and then were never counted as nursing home deaths. now i think it's been brought out into the open and i think that and part of it has been latisha james the attorney general of new york has -- she had a scathing report on hiding facts. jillian: absolutely. you columbus had melissa wefroze because we weren't sure what we give to the department of justice and what we give to you guys and what we start saying was going to be used against us and we weren't sure if there was going to be an investigation. ted, how does that make you feel? >> very disturbing. you know, when you are trying to

cover your own stuff by not getting investigated, and you are talking about lives at the same time, it should not be that way. lives should be number one. never mind about the political how good you look. you know. you pat yourself on the back and tell everyone how good you are doing at the same time you are lying about the lives that are being lost. it's just -- it's terrible. absolutely terrible. jillian: cindy, i know before covid one of you would take your mother to the chapel every night to pray. you would tuck her into bed. i'm curious for some of your memories of your mother doing things like that and how hard it is to not be able to do that anymore as a result of what we saw happen? >> the loss is great. the three of us were there every single night. we fed her dinner. we took her down to the chapel. we said her favorite prayers and we would bring her up and put

her to bed. and she felt comforted. we know she did. and to be locked down on march 12th and to never be able to that that again was devastating to us. jillian: yeah, i'm sure. ted, i know two weeks after your mother-in-law died your father-in-law died of cody that he contracted at the very same nursing home. >> yes. >> what do you think needs happen now going forward? >> i think, well, to protect the people that are there now, we have no idea what's going on in nursing homes now. no one is being allowed to go in. and i think it's because of the lack of staffing that is there the people i know are not getting the proper care. no reason for this. time to allow family members to go back in with their loved one and care for them. we did for my mom and father-in-law. it was an important part of their care. now they are being deprived of that still after almost a year.

it's unthinkable. jillian: real quick, we have 10 seconds left. what do you think should happen to the governor. >> i think he should be brought to justice. plain and simple. and i think he should admit what he did. i don't think he will. but, he should be brought to justice. the department of justice in the united states, you know, department of justice should investigate and if they find that he -- he did something wrong, then they have to bring him to justice and make sure that this never happens again to anyone. will our greatest generation is gone. is going and this caused 15,000 deaths. that's unacceptable to us as a grieving siblings and to all those who lost their family members. it's unacceptable. jillian: i see you shaking your head in agreement there cindy. >> absolutely. jillian: i any you miss your mother agnes every single day. i'm sorry this happened to you.

pete: dan godwin joins us now from dallas. dan, good morning. >> good morning. and, guys, this is just unprecedented winter weather event for the entire state of texas. temperatures right now in the high single digits. as you can see there is lots and lots of snow on the ground. texas governor greg abbott along president biden working together on issuing an emergency declaration for the entire state. transportation is especially treacherous right now. the state to a certain extent paralyzed as far as people getting around because beneath the blanket of snow in so many places there is going to be a sheet of ice on driving surfaces. everyone is being told to stay indoors if they possibly can. thankfully today is a federal holiday. lots of folks -- there will be less need for people to be out on the roads today you we want

to show you video shot in amarillo, texas. someone took some boiling water and threw it up in the air as you can see it instantly freezing which is one way to illustrate just how very, very cold it is records being set right and left in terms of how low these temperatures are going to drop and the amount of snow in many places, including here on the east side of dallas and the entire state bracing for another wallop. another big hit of winter weather again tomorrow night. lots more snow and these very, very cold single digit temperatures. reporting live in dallas, dan godwin, back to you. steve: no kidding. dan, it hasn't been that cold down there in decades. janice dean joins us right now. janice, i was looking at kansas behind you where my sisters

live. and you know their air temperatures are below zero. it's all part of that polar vortex thing, right? janice: absolutely. you know, the folks in texas they don't have the winter clothes that we have. so dan with his little hat on. they are not as prepared as we are in the northeast for wind chills of minus 16 in the dallas area. i mean, this is going to be historic. people are going to be talking about this particular week in history for decades to come. because the cold air that they haven't felt in at least 30 years and the measurable snow and not only from this system but we have several systems behind it affecting the southern plains as that ache particular front has sunk as far as south. there you have the snow falling across east texas into louisiana, mississippi, alabama, georgia, and then we have the ice component. that's the most dangerous. you have got the ice on the roadways and the power lines. this system monday to tuesday coming up towards the northeast.

then we have another one behind it thursday into friday. this could bring an ice storm across the eastern seaboard. see potential for ice gulf coast all the way up towards new england and next round of ice and snow and rain will come thursday and friday. so very active pattern. very dangerous pattern listen to your local weather forecasters and stay safe. we will certainly keep you posted. steve, pete and jillian, my friends, back to you. >> all right. >> the groundhog was right. >> a lot of color on that map. jillian: thanks, janice. high school football coaches fighting to get their athletes back on the field and calling out the politicians who were holding them back. pete: two san diego coaches say they have been reaching tout local lawmakers but it's moving at a -- this is fitting glacial pace. steve: it is indeed. ron gladlick and ron.

head football coach join us are from california. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> good morning. steve: ron, let's start with you, over the last couple of days, have you called out your state senators because where are they in trying to reopen the schools? and you have had it up to here with them. >> well, you know, it's not just reopening schools, but just playing outdoor sports, which don't require schools to reopen. it's a very simple subject and what we found is in our assembly and senate two different kinds of people. humble people care about constituents and want to learn about the fact and other politicians so incredibly disconnected from their constituents that they won't even spend 30 minutes to spend the fact of covid and young people and why it is safe for them to play so they can make

informed decisions. jillian: marlin, can you talk about what's going on with kids who are unable to play at this age in high school when a lot of them would be looking to get scholarships at colleges and trying to figure out if they are going to play going forward and what they are going to do trying to figure out their future where there are kids playing throughout the country and they have that benefit right now? >> probably the easiest way to describe it is lost opportunities. i have a 17-year-old son nicholas who is a senior dr. and he is missing out on opportunities it high school students have had. you would expect them to be at their best their senior year he on the other hand has been sidelined since last march and hasn't been given that opportunity. we are seeing lots of things. we are seeing kids join gangs. higher rate of incarceration. we are seeing unwanted child pregnancy. there is a list of things that are happening because the norm for these kids has been removed and there are so few opportunities for them to be kids. for them to do what you you would expect to have happen at

this time in life despite the data that is available that says in our safe structured supervised environment they are better off than they are hanging out in their communities. pete: not to mention they're watching professional and college athletes play sports that they are not allowed to do. ron, to that point though, when you point to data or you are talking to the policymakers that are willing to actually meet with you. you talked about the two different types and totally real, what do they say about had -- what defense could they possibly have for saying kids can't get out on the field? >> well, there really is no defense. and what happens when you talk to legislators that are humble enough to learn and you present them with all of the data we have compiled, every single legislator i have talked to personally has support wanted let them play c.a. every single one. steve: marlin, if you were living in florida or texas, you would be playing.

>> we would. apparently if i lived in texas i would be cold, too. [laughter] despite that, we would like to have them out there. listen, alternatively, we actually filed a lawsuit against the california department of public health, governor newsroom while folks like ron gladnic who has been an amazing leader for let them play california are at the table negotiating with our leaders those that are willing to listen. we have taken the alternate route of saying you are not applying the rules equally. like you said professionals, college athletes, they are playing. and in reality for those age groups of professionals and college athletes they're more likely to it be hospitalized end up in the icu group least likely to be impacted by covid or spread of are our high school kids. we want to know why they're left out of that loop. steve: no kidding. you are asking for answers and they're not giving them to you. marlon and ron, thank you for

getting up 3:48 out othere on the west coast. >> thank you. >> thank you. steve: jillian, what's coming up. jillian: today is presidents' day our founding fathers facing a new threat. it cancel culture. thousand honor an american president. ♪ ♪ covered it. so, call 1-800-farmers and get a quote today. ♪ we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum ♪ to support a strong immune system, your body needs routine. centrum helps your immune defenses every day, with vitamin c, d and zinc. season, after season. ace your immune support, with centrum.

revere, and francis scott key? and even dianne feinstein down there because apparently in the 180s when she was mayor of a it flew confederate flag on some city property. what could you make of this? >> well, each precious step people take towards freedom and freedom of speech should be cherished and remembered and celebrated. there would be no question are social justice without martin luther king and they are already attacking him. and there would be no martin luther king without abraham lincoln. and there would be no abraham lincoln without george washington. so, yes, some of the early founding fathers, washington, jefferson, others had slaves but seen within the context of their time they were risking their lives to step towards freedom. the ancient democracy in greece half the population were slaves. but if they hadn't taken those steps, we wouldn't have the freedom that we have today. steve: see, i think what you just touched on is so important. you were talking about the

context of their time. you know, when you look back at history there were some bad things that happened throughout history and that is part of the context of their time. but, nonetheless, you say when you look at the fact that, you know, these were some of our founding fathers at a time of slavery, does that mean we just erase everything? >> no. we can examine their records, but, steve, there's no end in sight to this. the british empire had slavery until 1834. we would have to rename virginia. which was named after queen elizabeth the first. there are five indian native american nations that owned slaves. we are talking about every little stream and river and town and village and some of the american states that would have to be renamed. there is columbus, arguments against him. you have to change cbs, columbia broadcasting system. ing washington district of columbia. there is just no end in sight. and it's ridiculous.

slavery, the name comes from the s loves. its lomb mic war lords. it's not afro centric. it's a problem of human nature. we need to study it but we also need to celebrate the people risked their lives to get rid of it. steve: and on this presidents' day we celebrate our nation's president and nobody has written better books than doug wead, check them out on amazon, he has a whole library if you feel his books down there in naples. doug, thank you very much for joining us today. >> steve, i have got something very funny to lee with you. steve: quick. >> in the soviet june i don't know they started saying the people their sense of humor. they started saying the past sun predictable because they were always changing. steve: indeed. doug, thank you. we'll be right back. how great is it that we get to tell everybody how liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need? i mean it...

federal law and agency. he claims he was just trying to get rid of bad policy. >> with good reason about the number of executive orders that i have signed i'm not making new law. i'm eliminating bad policy that the president -- the last president of the united states issued executive orders i thought were very counter productive, particularly in the area of immigration. this is about. >> and federal officials at the border are now preparing to process 25,000 asylum seekers at the border. just a few weeks after they sent a warning to a separate migrant caravan not to come right now because the policies hadn't been changed to process large numbers of asylum seekers yet. back to you. steve: all right. peter doocy joining us on this presidents' day from the president's house. thank you very much, peter. all right. so you can understand confusion why so many people have been released across the country and

those particular people who are were charged and convicted of aggravated felonies were, you know, that close to being released. an ice officer in houston had sent an email around and wrote that agents were instructed to stop all deportations and release everybody. just release everybody immediately. that guidance later was redacted by a supervisor and they go that's not exactly what they were talking about. nonetheless, there is hypocrisy regarding the enforcement of our rules. and then jillian, when you look at the things we heard out of this administration over the last week regarding covid, and suddenly you are thinking why are they potentially talking about shutting down states and not borders? jillian: right there. are a number of republicans who echo that end sentiment. you have from new york john saying it's outrageous at a time when measures are being told to avoid travel and stay home. you have senator ted cruz saying this could very well result in

the release of covid positive persons into the u.s. and you also had a florida governor ron desantis talking about the very same thing and the hypocrisy. take a listen. >> they are thought being screened for covid at the southern border because this is all political. so he is opening the border. he is letting illegals pour in. but, yet, he wants to potentially make you take a test if you just get on an airplane and fly from one american city to the next? or he wants to prevent travel to the state of florida? this stinks to high heaven. it is a huge contradiction. and you can't square wanting opening borders for illegal aliens but then also restricting u.s. citizens from basically traveling around the country as they see fit. and i think the american people see the hypocrisy in that. are. pete: of course, it's an important point. you have a complete reversal of an american first perspective. the globalists perspective. open borders perspective. those aren't just labels. those are for real. this is the erasure of

citizenship. recall time it better so the policies are better prepared. steve: give you the sign later. pete: tom homan said 95% of previously targets people already committed a crime here illegally off the table for law enforcement because that category that case-by-case basis is not met. assaults and duis and thefts and serious crimes that impact people. people that live in the united states. citizens who are criminals -- who are victims of this crime and yet the democrats seem to think it's better to value illegals over citizens and that's the consequence of real policy. steve: a big story we told you about on friday was that it had broken, that the "new york post" had gotten their hands on an audiotape that revealed that the secretary to the governor here in new york state, melissa der

derosa apologizing sorry we didn't update you on the numbers of people who died in the nursing homes. we were afraid we would be investigated by the feds. she admitted that they had stonewalled and withheld data that showed about 50% more people were released back into the nursing homes than what that guy screen right, andrew cuomo had admitted. well then, dr. new audiotape has been scrutinized by the "new york post" and apparently she was talking to state assemblyman, a democrat by the the -- whose uncle had died. you have to hold these people accountable and bring retroactive justice against the facilities. she was very clear okay. you can want that. but there are a lot of big structural institutional problems at the nursing homes. she said. jillian: let's go ahead and read this quote. this is from melissa derosa i

think a lot of these nursing homes frankly retrospectively prior to covid have been getting away with a lot for a lot of years. if there was any evidence that anyone was willful or negligent in a i think that goes beyond the normal course that cost people's lives, i think we all share the same goal is which is to hold them accountable. speaking of holding accountable. there are people all across this country, specifically in the new york area who have lost loved ones to the nursing home tragedy, especially here in new york. and i interviewed three people cindy lizzy, ted and phil. they lost their 90-year-old mother at a nursing home in new york. they are calling for accountability. take a listen to what they had to say. >> the loss is great. the three of us were there every sing dwell night to be locked out on march 12th and to never be able to do that again was devastating to us. >> lives should be number one. never mind about the political how good you look.

you know, you pat yourself on the back and tell everyone how good you are doing at the same time you are lying about the lives that are being lost. >> many this should never be a partisan issue. now i think that both parties in our state are coming together. and i think he should admit what he did. i don't think he will. but, he should be brought it justice. jillian: they are demanding answers and they deserve them and so does everybody else out there. just one more important thing to note. two weeks after his mother died thible one lost his father-in-law at the very same nursing home. steve: nobody is talking about it on television except us. pete: correct. absolutely. top to bottom the release of this phone call is very important to get a sense of what they truly knew and then you can ultimately do a further investigation. this could be the type of criminal cover-up you never hope to see but the product of an

administration here in new york that knew they had made the wrong call early on and since then has been trying to cover up for it. as opposed to own up for it. joe biden and many in the media, steve, to your point who have watched these briefings have andrew cuomo believed he was the man. he has been a number you been in leading the charge on how to respond to covid. here is how joe biden has praised governor cuomo in the past. listen. >> i think he is doing a hell of a be jo. i think he has been the lead horse here. i have talked to him frequently. he is a friend. i think he is doing an incredible job. new york governor andrew cuomo's briefings are a fletch leadership. >> your governor in new york has done one hell of a job. he is a gold standard. pete: yet, andrew cuomo was recently at the white house meeting with joe biden on issues of covid and other things. steve: friday. pete: on friday. jen psaki was asked when he was there whether or not biden administration has confidence in andrew cuomo. here's what she said from the

podium. >> he had governor cuomo with him. governor cuomo is in hot water at home for withholding information because nursing home fatalities. covid pandemic. the president yesterday talked about the importance of having a clear, open transparent communication with the public. does the president have confidence in governor cuomo's handling of the pandemic. >> well, the president hosted governor cuomo in a and a bipartisan group of governors and mayors to the white house today to get their perspective from the frontlines. not to give anyone a stamp of approval or to seek their stamp of approval. pete: nonanswer, steve, if i have ever heard one. steve: clearly. and melissa derosa admitted there was a cover-up. and they stonewalled. so for joe biden to be the covid president standing next to a guy who covered up and stonewalled when people -- thousands of people died because of a decision he had to send people

back into nursing homes for him to get back on the cuomo train, that would be at this point not smart politics. to say it politely. pete: meanwhile javits center and uss comfort right there. the wrong president sent them to new york so you couldn't use those. jillian: we will continue to follow that up. >> in the meantime let's talk about this. calls to defund the minnesota police department that are being reversed after a surge in violent crime. todd piro is live in the newsroom as city council approves money to hire cops. this is a reversal, todd. todd: that's right jillian, steve and pete good morning to you. you remember the constant calls coming out of the minneapolis city council to defund police? if not? here is a refresher. >> hopefully it will not take us 150 years to rebuild that new system. >> well, you know, fatal drive by shooting what are you going to do or this other thing happened, who would respond? the answer is we're going to come up with that solution together. >> at the end of this, will

we're going to come out the other side of this with a city that is safer for everyone, not just for a few people at the expense of everyone. todd: the city council is trying to find more officers to patrol the streets while the city sees a surge in violent crime up 21% last area. get this guys, after cutting 8 million bucks from the police budget in december the council approving $6.4 million to hire dozens of officers. back to you. pete: oops. it's time to refund police because we are 200 officers down and crime is spiking in our city. todd, thanks so much. common sense mugged by reality people are being mugged and city council being mugged realize there is no one else you are going to call when you want to maintain police peace in your city. steve: we have seen the up rest in the streets of a number of american communities, and you know, you have got to aside from the headlines, you have got to

figure out if you lived in one of those towns and you saw that your town was descending into lawlessness, at what point could you pick up the phone and say what are you doing down at city hall? because this is not what we voted for. jillian: we have seen examples in certainties across the country you have people questioning why don't officers have body cameras and police saying we don't have the money for body cameras. you want certain things but then they don't have the money to be able to get those things that in turn people want them have. steve: anyway, just a little 180 in the twin cities. meanwhile, a quarter after the top of the hour. and ashley joins us right now. she has the headlines today. ashley: hey, guys, good morning. we have your headlines begin with this. lindsey graham warns mitch mcconnell speech blasting form everywhere president donald trump could be used against the g.o.p. >> i don't know how kamala harris doesn't get impeached if the republican us take over the house. ashley: graham arrrs the same charges against trump could be

used against vice president kamala harris after she supported a fund that bailed out black lives matter protesters last summer. and the california police officer calling the growing movement to recall governor gavin newsom a wake-up call. officer adam garcia telling fox news if he is recalled i think it could be a great movement in the right direction not just for california but the rest of the country. the petition has the 1.5 million signatures needed to get on the ballot but organizers have trying to get 2 million randy committee to help start the movement "fox & friends first." >> don't want to leave any doubt in anybody's mind the validity and veracity of the people out there working so tirelessly every single day and working like this, todd, for 8 months. it's such an inspiration. ashley: the state's republican party donated $125,000 to the movement over the weekend. vice president kamala harris directly contradicting dr. anthony fauci on the

covid-19 stockpile in an interview with axios on an interview last night. >> in many ways we are starting from scratch on something that's been raging for almost an entire year. >> last month dr. fauci said reports of a spent vaccine stockpile were quote a misunderstanding. before inauguration then president-elect biden announced he would release nearly all available doses immediately. and overnight the daytona 500 ending in a fiery fasmghts take a look at this. >> on top. oh, around they go and a hard crash. kyle busch. >> austin's car hit by kyle busch. >> mcdowel is first to the line but we will have to go back to the moment of caution. ashley: couple of nasty crashes michael mcdowell taking it all after narrowly escaping a terrifying crash. luckily nobody was hurt. it was mcdowell's first career wins in 358 start.

and troops may be staying there through the fall, which is extremely concerning because myself and several of my colleagues have asked nancy pelosi for a brieferring why we need these troops here. we have received zero information. zero. it's amazing to me that she -- that she can could this without any disclosure, without any information and just continue to spend money with no briefing. doesn't make sense to me. pete: i think this would be of interest to the house armed services committee. you sent a letter with other members of congress in late january. you are saying you never got a response. ha that was when the deployment time was to the end of march. now we are talking about august. september, october, there has to be a point at which there is a rationalization. where other members of congress are made aware as to the why? >> well, that's the biggest issue is just tell me why. i feel like there is a boogie

man under my bed. so, at the end of the day, is just explain to us why we have the national guard troops. think about it this way. we have more servicemen and women brexiting the capitol than we do in iraq and afghanistan combined. to the tune of already $500 million. and that number for the taxpayers is only going to grow if we keep them there. pete: you mentioned boogie man, congresswoman. maybe that's what it is all about. maybe extending the idea that of january 6th that the threat is ever-present could that be part of the rational? >> it sure does seem like a lot of symbolism over substance, doesn't it? washington, d.c. is an absolute ghost town. i feel completely safe there is no one there. i will share this with you.

around. if we do this increase transportation costs which shows up in lower prices for our commodities because there is nobody else to absorb that. >> steve: that is such a great point. the governor of north dakota said this regarding shutting counsel the pipeline. to pull the plug now after the pipeline has been operating safely for more than three years. that's your point, would severely impair future capital investment in much needed projects at a time when america is in desperate need. and you know, scott. when you just think about the politics of it. on the first day in office. joe biden signed the executive order getting rid of the xl keystone pipeline and so, you know, his base loved that. they just would like another win. so that's why they are going after this one. >> yeah. it is all political and it will be extremeli' for anybody to do anything like that again. these pipelines are safe. that's what we need to talk about. the best technology we have ever used. the dakota access pipeline has no history of any impact on

ground water or any resources around it. and it's been proven to be the best way to transport oil and when we can do that that way, then it free's up our other transportation methods to all our other commodities. steve: sure. while it is more efficient and safer to use a pipeline, obviously, rather than rail or truck, at the same time, for people who are watching right now and they think well i'm worried about the environment. okay, that's one thing. but then less worry about the prices you pay for groceries and you pay for everything else that is shipped via rail including pretty much everything you do. >> that's exactly right. and it will show up in several ways. there are so many inintended consequences with something like this. not only is the higher prices or lower prices for what we get paid. it does show up in higher prices to consumers. and other things. there is another thing that probably a lot of people don't think about is the tax money that's generated. property taxes in north dakota,

south dakota, iowa and illinois in this particular case. that go to the schools, the hospitals, the emergency services. all those things that have to be paid for through tax money that those things are picking up. and if the dakota access pipeline is shut down, they are going to have to pay for those things some other way. that will show up in higher property taxes for everybody else or some other method of taxation. steve: that is such a gadd point. scott, thank you very much for joining us from out there in south dakota. >> thank you. steve: all right. 25 manipulates better top of the hour on this presidents' day. meanwhile, the lincoln project raise you had tens of millions of dollars as you know to get president trump out of office. but, it turns out a lot of that money went right back into the pockets of the group's founders. we're going to follow the money coming up next. ♪ with it first?

the way up to new england. a really impressive, powerful storm system, of course with all of that artic air and then we also have the potential for an ice storm in some of these areas across the mississippi and ohio river valley with accumulating ice on the roads and the power lines that's going to be so dangerous. this system moves up towards the northeast and then we have another one behind it also bringing that wintry weather measurable snow across the southern plains towards the southeast, the mississippi, tennessee river valley and then into the northeast and that's the one that could bring an extensive ice storm to portions of the i-95 corridor so something we are going to have to watch really dangerous. listen to your local forecast. stay inside. pete, jillian, and steve, back to you. pete: and we are listening to our national forecast as well. i know you can't say it i blame canada i know you will defend them it. all came from them. janice: i do, too. steve: you are canadian. pete: fair and balanced.

harris or president biden that have to lay down the law in their family. they are not going to pay attention to what a lawyer says. and in both instances, both with the biden and the harris families, you have this sort of cultural history of this kind of cashing in. and habits are hard to break. and oftentimes political families feel a certain semblance of entitlements to be able to do these sorts of things. unless you get the president of the united states or the vice president explicitly calling off their families in public. this behavior is absolutely going to continue. are. jillian: she is the author of children's books including one that has her aunt's name in the title. she has a clothing brand including sweat shirts printed with some of the phrases that vice president harris has said in the past. and, you know, as you mentioned, the white house officials said that some of these things are not allowed under existing ethics rules. here is menna a harris had to

said since the beginning of the campaign it standards and adhere to the ethics rules of the biden harris white house. question though are there any repercussions here is she is to still continue to do this. >> no. there aren't. that's party of the problem. you know, the problem with ethics in washington, d.c. is that the rules are written by the political figures themselves. and so, when she says she's going to uphold the legal and ethical standards as it reels to these areas, those are extremely loose standards. and that's part of the problem. so, no, there are no preper repercussions. they can continue to do this when kamala harris was attorney general of california, her husband ran a small law firm in los angeles. some of his clients had matters before her office, and there is evidence, some would argue that they got favorable treatment. so this is not a new area for the harris family. it didn't impact them negatively before. and unfortunately i don't think there is any reason for them to change their behavior right now.

pete: speaking of changing behavior. you are the perfect guy to ask about the lincoln project and the nearly $90 million they have raised that we're now learning huge chunks of it overs half of it went to firms owned by co-founders of the loinct. 25 million. 20 million. when you add it all up, it's the lions share of the money raised peter, is this the way washington, d.c. the swamp operates or with the loinct. is this extraordinary even more egregious case? >> i think the lincoln project is kind of exstrategic for a number of reasons. one is you have a small cadre of partners who got the bulk of the cash some stems are 50 million out of 90 million. this is a pattern. if you remember, i came on your show last year and talked about how bernie sanders his wife to do media buying. these pacs, especially these political action committees that are pouring tens of millions of

dollars into media buys. they're black holes. nobody knows how the money is spent. nobody know what is media commissions people are earning. that's part of the inherent problem. so, you know, we know that going into the lincoln project there were a couple of founders that had financial problems. i was there are estimate as of today they no longer have those financial problems. the lincoln project has taken care of it. steve: thank you for joining us on this presidents' day down in florida. thank you, sir. >> thank you. steve: all right. it is 14 minutes before the top of the hour. we are going to step aside. and we're going to have all sorts of stuff straight ahead because yesterday was a wild daytona 500. there were a couple of big wrecks. this was in the last lap. michael mcdowell was the winner. the newest daytona 500 champ is going to join us live just hours after his very first nascar win.

the hard part on those rain delays is you have still got to stay pretty much focused and in the game. you never know when you are going to get back in it. each if it's delayed the next day. you just don't know until it happens. it looked like there was no chance we were going to get the race. the skies cleared up and thankfully we were able to get that going. steve: michael, have you lost a number of races and you won the big one. you got to be truthful. it feels a lot better winning, right? >> yeah, winning is always better. there is no doubt about that. and that's what so tough about our sport. you have 40 drivers and you have o39 losers and one winner. fortunately yesterday we were the winner. and, you know, being a daytona 500 champion in nascar's premier series is something that is very special and it will last a lifetime. jillian: thanks for sharing this few minutes with us. michael mcdowell, congratulations to you. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. jillian: i can't wait to see what he does next. steve: probably going to go through the drive-thru. jillian: i can tell you what we

the president and vice president's families were addressed by white house lawyers, apparently, to make it very clear there are certain things you cannot do, and that is you cannot as a private citizen -- although you're related to somebody famous -- you can't make money off of it. that is why we're talking about meena harris, the niece of vice president harris. she has been ordered to stop promoting her products that use with her aunt's name after after the election. and according to the daily mail and the l.a. times, it sounds like she continues to cash in on sweat shifts and books and -- sweatshirts and books and stuff like that even though yesterday a white house official scolded her in the l.a. times saying some things cannot be undone. that being said, behavior needs to change, as you see right there, anonymous white house official said, regarding meena harris because it just does not look good that she is apparently

trading on her family's name, jillian. jillian: yeah. you mentioned the few things that specifically people have been talking about, a book bearing her aunt's first name, that sweatshirt with the words vice president auntie on it. we talked to peter. schweitzer earlier this morning on accountability on this issue. take the a look. >> it's the principle in this case vice president harris or president biden that have to lay down the law on their family. they're not going to pay attention to what a lawyer says. and in both instances, both with the biden and harris families, you have this sort of cultural history of this kind of cashing in. and habits are hard to break, and often times political families feel a certain set of entitlements to be able to do these sorts of things. so unless you get the president of the united states or the vice president explicitly calling out

their families in public, this behavior is absolutely going to behavior. jillian: you do wonder the conversations in the family they've had about this. meena harris said she will continue to instructly adhere to the ethics rules of the biden/harris white house. pete: and i'm sure they'll crack town on sweatshirts and kids' books after hunter biden was able to make crony deals with international companies with no experience of his own. can't talk about that, no accountability on that. but you know what we've really got to crack down on? those kids' books and those sweatshirts. those are dangerous. maybe that's where they'll draw the line. steve: it is 8:08. still no word from mcdonald's. just an update. meanwhile, let's talk about this. you know after a what happened down in the washington on january 6 9th. in anticipation -- 6th, in anticipation of the inaugural, tens of thousands of national

guard troops have been posted there. and it looks as if they're going to be there this for a while, and, in fact, our affiliate, fox 5 down in washington, says apparently the department of defense is considering extending national guard troops in washington. it sounds like pretty much for the, through the fall. they're going to have a meeting on february 17th. eleanor holmes norton says d.c. doesn't want to keep them. they would prefer -- although they would prefer more troops than a permanent fence which is what the acting capitol police chief has a said because it's just easier if the capitol of the united states had a great big fence, and that's a good way to keep people out. pete: a wall? steve: exactly. apparently walls work in washington. pete: that's right. we had representative least ma mclean on the -- mclean on the program earlier, talking about what they might know about why it would be required to have this number of troops. >> myself and several of my if

colleagues have asked nancy pelosi for a briefing as to why do we need these troops here. and we have received zero information, zero. it's amazing to me that she can do this without any disclosure, without any information and just continue to spend money with no briefing. doesn't make sense to me. we have more servicemen and women protecting the capitol than we do in iraq and afghanistan combined. to the tune of already $500 million. and that number for the taxpayers is only going to grow if we keep them there. pete: so representative mcclain, who's on the house armed services committee, has heard no information about why you can justify having trooped there even told, let alone all the way through the fall. i know guys on the ground that i've talked to casually, there's

no threat assessment, there's no information of anything imminent. there's a lot of boredom right now and not a lot of sense of what the mission is and how long it will continue. and the hypocrisy, the idea that the troops couldn't go to kenosha, seattle or portland, but they remain here until the fall. jillian: well, right. and i am curious if they said anything about how they feel about being there when you do have the conversations around the border and how we're being told that the wall is being stopped. it does seem very hypocritical. pete: yeah. these are national guardsmen who have lives and families at home. steve: they've got jobs. pete: they're away from them. if you're the from a state where your governor has deemed the mission not important, you're already home. they are getting paid, finally they fairinged out where they should --: figured out where

they could sleep. steve: especially, what is the threat? why do we need -- pete: there isn't one. steve: they've got 2,000 members of the capitol police, 2,000 guys and gals with guns who protect that one building and that campus full time. why do they need the national guard? pete: if there is a threat, brief us. that's not -- or maybe there isn't one, and there is a bogeyman, as the congresswoman also said, that needs to be perpetuated, that there's an ever-existing threats, that we need to vet these national guardsmen. and that fear is what gives other people power and control. steve: and you have special authority because you are actually a national guardsman who has been posted in the last year to d.c. pete: yes, sir, i have. steve: but still no mcdonald's. pete: i'm checking. four minutes. keeps getting delayed. steve: we've been talking over the last couple of weeks about how san francisco schools, it sounds like they're going to remove some names from -- rename dozens of public schools because

they've got names like george washington or abe lincoln, thomas jefferson, francis scott key, general william tecumseh sherman or diane fine stipe. she's being -- dianne feinstein. she was mayor at a time when apparently on some city property they flew a confederate flag for some reason. anyway, she should be removed -- pete: she just doesn't belong on that list. steve: but it is presidents day, and we're talking about these presidents at a time when there was slavery. but doug wead, one of america's greatest presidential historians, had this observation about removing those kinds of names from those kinds of schools. he was earlier on "fox & friends". >> there'd be no discussion today about social justice without martin luther king, and they're already attacking him. and there'd be no martin luther king without abraham lincoln.

and there'd be no abraham lincoln without george washington. so, yes, some of the early founding fathers -- washington, jefferson, others -- had slaves. but seen within the context of their time, they were risking their lives to step towards freedom. there's just no end in sight, and it's ridiculous. slavery, it's a problem of human nature, and we need to study it, but we also need to celebrate the people who risked their lives to get rid of it. jillian: he made an important point about needing to study it. i'm in the camp of i don't like cancel culture as a whole whether we're going back 5, 10, 5, 20 years in someone's life to cancel them because of something they said when they were a time,. people grow up, times change, and people learn a lot. if you cancel all of our history, that doesn't give us anything to learn from going forward, pete. pete: i mean, yes, take down the pyramids built by slaves. that's the logical extent of where this might go.

every single one of us is imperfect. there will be things we are doing today that 50 years from now they'll say how in the world were they doing that on a regular basis. and which is why president trump said you're starting with confederate flags, pretty soon it'll be george washington, thomas jefferson. that's exactly who's on the list, washington, lincoln, jefferson. and, by the way, san francisco can't get around to opening those schools, but don't worry, when kids get back, they'll have a brand new name. they're going all the way to the end. steve: doug wead also says you know where they do things like that, where they race history? socialist countries. pete: he said in the russia they used to have a joke that the most unpredictable thing is the past because it's always changing. steve: all right. pete: we're going to toss it out now to ashley stromeyer as i await my food. jillian: turning now to your

headlines starting with extreme weather, more than 3 million people are without power in texas. the state's system being pushed to the max because of freezing temperatures. those who still have electric are being asked to conserve as much as they can. video from the texas department of transportation shows snow-covered roads this morning. officials are urging people to stay at home. and chicago mayor lori lightfoot is calling out the city's teachers union, comparing them to a political party. lightfoot speaking with the new york times saying in part: when you have unions who have aspirations beyond being a union, maybe something like a political party, then there's always going to be conflict. ultimately, they'd like to take over not only chicago public schools, but take over running the city government. last week the union approved a proposal to open elementary and middle schools after threatening to strike. and netflix announced it will begin work on its own documentary about pop star

britney spears. this is a big shocker. bloomberg reports the project is already underway, but no date or title has been released. framing britney spears was released earlier this month on hulu sparking the hashtag free britney movement. i'm sure jillian's the only one who's watched that. jillian: i haven't watched it. pete: i'm a big britney fan. jillian: really? pete: the icon of my generation are. are you kitting me? we're -- kidding me? we're the same age. steve: we had britney spears on this show i would say 12 years ago. pete: no kidding? steve: because nobody knew anything about her except my teenaged daughter -- jillian: twelve years ago nobody knew about britney spears? pete: i question that. steve: it's true. maybe 15 or 16 -- we brought in my daughter mary to actually interview her, it was a great

interview. i'm sure it's on youtube somewhere. pete: we're going to check the timeline. jillian: thanks, ashley. steve: it's just a blur. no, the producer says was that miley cyrus. no, miley cyrus did mary's phone answering machine message. britney spears was actually interviewed -- pete: we're going to have to pull the tape. jillian: i think we should. steve: meanwhile, as we wait for the cape and mcdonald's delivery, the support to recall governor gavin newsom is growing. one california cop says this recall should serve as a wake-up call that newsom's policies are failing, and that officer's scathing criticism of the governor coming up. ♪ ♪ i'm a performer. always have been. and always will be. never letting anything get in my way. not the doubts,

and i'm absolutely on the side of the free britney campaign, let's make that clear. of. [laughter] steve: well, pete has seen her in concert. i have, my children have watched a lot of videos. [laughter] so do you understand what's going on with this thing, with this britney interest? >> a lot of ship, a lot of sympathy for people in my generation who believe that she got an unfair shake, and i'd encourage everybody to check it out. and also it's been great to see that craig ferguson clip go viral about him defending her. but certainly back to your question -- steve: good idea. >> -- it seems to me that in this context, i have a number of questions for dr. fauci, but the one i really have is this: tell us how much money it will take for you to say that schools can reopen. because what i know is that in december, a little more than a month and a half ago, we had billions and billions of dollars sent towards america's schools from washington d.c. the vast majority of which has yet to even be spent.

and here he is coming out and giving a partisan case that there's more money needed for these schools to reopen when what we see around the world is america falling behind, not being able to have in-class teach,ing on the part of -- teaching on the part of our students. and those kids are going to not just suffer in terms of a brief period, they're going to suffer exponentially, over time, because they've going to be behind our peers around the world because we've gone in this nonsensical direction. when dr.ing fauci crossed over and became a partisan advocate for what the biden white house wants to achieve via legislation on capitol hill, i think he crossed a significant line. steve: right. >> and if he's not going to be specific about how much money it is, i think we need to ask him why are you speaking in these generalized terms? steve: sure. >> why is there a need here when all of this money has gone out here? steve: but, ben, it's been partisan since the get go with this administration because when

you look at one of the primary reasons the teachers are not back in school, it's because the unions say we're not going back until every teacher gets a vaccinement then you've got fauci and the cdc director saying they don't need it. the unions are saying we're not going back until they redo the heating and air-conditioning, ventilation in all of those buildings. obviously, if your kid is not in a school, back full time right now, chances are they're not going to be back full time this year. >> and, unfortunately, we heard all cutter campaign that the biden administration would have plans for everything that the trump administration didn't. well, it turns out a lot of the time their plans involve steps that would actually roll us backward when it came to school reopening, you know? demanding 6 feet separation between desks, steps that simply do not have the science to back them up. and i think unfortunately what you really are seeing, to your point, is the power of the

teachers unions in directing democratic politics. lori lightfoot's comment there, i think it's rare to see, i think, republicans agreeing with lori lightfoot, but they do understand these teachers unions wield an enormous amount of power, and they really are, i think in this case sadly, holding kids hostage across the country. steve: ben domenech joining us from d.c. with the latest on the kids going back to school. and surprisingly, after watching dr. fauci by talking about britney spears, we didn't see that coming. just saying. [laughter] anyway, thank you very much. >> always happy to talk about britney. great to join you. steve: thank you, ben. all right. it is 8:27 now. oregon teachers now urged to add wokeness to their curriculum by subtracting racism from their math lessons. we're going to discuss a training program promising to root out white supremacy culture in the classroom coming up.

♪ ♪ pete: welcome back. well, get this one, oregon's department of education is aiming to undo racism in math pa. teachers now urged to talk training -- to take training on how white supremacy infiltrates math by putting the focus on getting the right answer or requiring students to show their work. the concept is unequivocally false meaning 2 plus 2 does not equal 4 and teaching it is much less so. upholding the idea there are always right and wrong answers perpetuate objectivity as well as fear of open conflict. here to react, west point grad and army veteran and yale law student the jeremy hunt.

jeremy, math is not objective and right answers are racist. >> it's really an amazing thing, pete. i mean, honestly, i think it's quite disrespectful to the black community, what the oregon department of education has done here. basically what they're saying is, they're saying we can't expect black kids to get the right answer because that's white supremacy. they think that black kids aren't smart enough to get the right answer in an objective sense? honestly, they need to read a history book. it's black history month, read a history book. there are legendary black mathematicians like katherine johnson, george washington carver. read a book. these folks used the objectivity of math as a way to achieve equality. but here's the thing, this is bigger than just oregon. we're seeing this kind of activity in places like philadelphia, san francisco which you talked about a little

earlier. the radical left wants to racialize every aspect of your child's education. pete: yeah. >> and that's the real problem here. it's kind of this slight of hand. they want us to be so focused on the national issues and what's going on with with the biden administration, that we aren't focused on what's going on in our own communities. pete: help me though because i'm used to it if you're talking about history, politics, social studies, issues of debate which people can hold different views on. but when it comes to mathematics and how you calculate, you know, physics and chemistry and things that really -- you know, basic math problems, engineering, how in the world -- what mindset must you take to say that we need to lower the bar so low for some racial reason that right answers are not right answers? i mean, it's mind-blowing. >> it really defies all logic, which is ironic, because they're talking about math. here's the thing though, i think it's time especially for

parents, for parents of the children if you care about your kid, if you care about this country, now is the time to speak up. you need to call your board of education, get involved in the parent teacher association, know what's going on because we're going to have to fight, we're going to have to fight on both ends, at the local level and national level, if we actually want to protect this republic. i was talking to my wife, we have a 1-year-old daughter, and we were just saying we feel bad for whichever school district we end up deciding for her -- [laughter] because they'll have two very loud black parents that have a lot to say about what's going on in our daughter's education. and i think that's the kind of spirit that we need across this country if we want to see an end to this racial -- pete: you're exactly right. and, obviously, you received the right education, you understand it's a republic, not a democracy. there are finer points that are really important if you want to

perpetuate citizenship. and it's racist to have lower expectations for people, that today can't get the right answer. jeremy hunt, thank you so much for your service and your perspective,. >> thank you. pete: liberals, leftists hoping for a big change. they could be in for a big disappointment. fox news host shannon bream joins us live to break it all down coming up. these days it's not that easy. you're telling me. but humana helps make it easy. human care gives you tons of ways to talk to your doctor: phone, computer, in person, or tablet. hey jean! hi! this is just a quick follow up. your numbers are looking great. you don't even have to put on shoes. ooo! easy peasy. you like that, huh? mhm. humana. a more human way to healthcare. humana. you know that look? that life of the party look walk it off look one more mile look

everything about britney spears, so she was our expert. and i should point out mary doocy is wearing her brother peter's blazer right there to look like a journalist. jillian: so we can confirm this was longer than 12 years ago, but also i'm dying to know the answer. if britney ever saw him -- pete: that is -- i never doubted you, steve the, i just needed to see the clip. and there it was. and a great idea to bring your daughter in, because we know your questions to britney spears -- steve: would have been different. she also asked if, and this was back in the day, she said, you know, you could date anybody in the world, why not prince william? he's available. and she had a very long laugh at that. pete: said i couldn't -- jillian: i think she said i don't think he would want to date me. something like that. very cute. steve: hats off to mary doocy who is now a public servant. pete: and didn't know be on the

point to but each other. you can't say the republicans are blocking that efforts. the truth is they control all of the big legislative bodies at this point, and there's a lot of pressure on him from the very progressive left to do a big, huge package. but even within their own caucus, democrats don't agree on just swinging for the fences on immigration, not right now. jillian: to that point, how do you think the president finagles this so he's not disappointing everyone? if you have those on the far left who are potentially going to be disappointed and, obviously, a lot of republicans do not have the same viewpoint, it just seems like no one's going to be happy. shannon: yeah, great question. i think they just have to manage expectations. they have to be honest about what they can or can't get done. he'll come forward with a huge package, they're going to roll that out, and then they'll work back from there saying we're not going to get everything, but here is what we are going to get. there is some agreement, there's some bipartisan agreement on a number of things within immigration that they can then point to and say, look, we did

get some things done. but i think they're going to introduce this massive package with the understanding you're not going to get everything you asked for, so just be happy with what we do get. pete: or an executive order, which happens often as well. shannon: it could be that. pete: shannon, i've got to ask you about your awesome new book, it's a fox news book on sale march 3rd. tell us about this. shannon: yes. i am so excited. this is one of the things that was just such a fun labor of love because when you group studying the bible or going to sunday school or any of that stuff, these stories are so timeless. the women here are powerful, and they're dealing with things that are very 2021. i mean, they are called upon to have really big courage in big, scary moments. they deal with infertility and jealousy and betrayal, these women are amazing. some of them were faithful from the beginning, others found their way and relied on god to get them through some really terrible situations. and my favorite thing is a lot

of these women made bad decisions, they took a wrong path, but even in that god was able to use their stories for his plans and his purposes. so they're all lessons that fit today that we can all find inspiration and hope from. steve: do you have one favorite woman story? shannon: you know what? i loved deborah because she was the only female judge, the leader of the entire israel nation, and they went into this battle where nobody would have thought they could win, they were completely outgunned with weapons and all kinds of things, and she said, you know, god has told us to go, we're doing it. she led the entire nation into battle, and it turned everything around for decades for israel. very powerful woman, and i think she's a good example. jl=that's excellent. catch fox news at night weekdays at 11 p.m. eastern. you have a long day ahead of you, hi friend. steve: nap time. shannon: i do. glad to be with you guys. jillian: congrats on the book. pete: women of the bible speak, very cool.

weather moving across louisiana and mississippi and alabama and georgia. some of these kids are going to see the first big snowfall they've ever seen across the south, and this active pattern is ongoing. so we see this storm system move up towards the northeast through tuesday, another one thursday and friday and then another one behind that. it all comes from the northwest and moisture from the pacific, and then you see that there? that's ice, accumulating ice on the roads and the power lines. round two on thursday and friday is going to be more widespread including the northeast and some of the big cities on the i-95 corridor. so this is a big deal not only because we're seeing snow in the parts of the south, but that cold air has sunk as far south as the gulf coast, and some of the pictures on social media are quite something. we will be talking about this storm and these storms and this month of february for years to come. historic. back to you, jillian, pete and steve.

and i feel like that's a lost art. >> the letters are beautiful. they're heart warming, funny, creative, clever, he would write to her from his office, when he was traveling, and sometimes he would write to her from across the room and what a beautiful window into the private life of these very public servants. jillian: what would he say about a her when she wasn't around? >> well, he would light up. anytime you mentioned her name, he always said my life never truly began until i met nancy. and when she walks out of the room, i miss her. that was of true. there were times she would pop by the office to surprise him, and you would see him literally leap out of his chair to go over and hug her and kiss her. there was such a fondness and affection for each other. there were moments when you would walk out in the outer hallway of the office and find them kissing or hugging. they were never just in the same space, they were always side by side holding hands, he would have his arm around her or his hand in the small of her back,
