information to give them a call. pete: this is a flight from colorado bound for honolulu. will makes the point what if they had been further along along the ocean? thank god it occurred where they were? can you imagine looking out the window. looking out window, everything is good. if that is your view in seat 7-d, you're having a scary day. jedediah: from both perspectives, terrifying. being on the plane and seeing that, also the people on the ground watching stuff fall, wondering if their house was going to be next, feeling like they had to dodge it. people noticing, the guy notices, the engine blew out. the terror of all of it. really scary. that everyone was okay and the plane was able to land successfully. incredible to see. pete: i'm sure they're doing a big ol' investigation how the in
3:04 am
the world a plane with that kind of problem went up in the world in the first place. we'll monitor that. there is big news that hit yesterday. folks have been waiting to find out when former president donald trump will speak out first. he did a series of phone interviews at fox news channel when rush limbaughs pad. it has been largely silent exempt for reports out of mar-a-lago. that is about to change in a week. donald trump will speak at cpac next sunday, slated sometime on sunday afternoon which is the final day of that conference down in orlando, florida. a lot of folks wondering what will his message be, looking backwards, looking forward, they say reportedly it will be about the future of the republican party. pointing out the disaster that is biden's border policies. the best preview we could get thus far is from mercedes schlapp. former white house director of
3:05 am
comes. her husband runs cpac. >> president trump focusing on a forward-looking vision of what the republican party will look like, what the conservative movement will look like, and what america will look like. there are millions of americans out there who are ready to hear from the president. we know the president haas been silenced. he has been taken off these major platforms by the big tech companies and by so many democrats who want to shame him and shame his supporters. we at cpac believe it is important for the president to have a voice. for the president to be able to speak because as we know we want every american to know that their right to freely speak in america is still protected. will: "fox & friends" will be there, guys. i will be reporting live from cpac. hosting our show on sight from cpac. giving a little speech that probably won't be monitoredded
3:06 am
closely as president of the united states, speaking on saturday. to mercedes schlapp point, the president is taken off of twitter. it is an unusual silence over the last couple of months. this will be, which builds the anticipation for a speech like this even more. will: you heard mercedes schlapp saying the president should have a big voice going forward. the president will have a big voice going forward as to the direction of the republican party. no matter how you feel about the president, strongly in support of strongly against his personality, one thing you can't not deny he shaped the republican party, america first policies, economic populism, a change in approach to china and foreign policy. approach to big tech. the president's point of view has come to shape the republican party. others, jedediah, attempted, i emphasized the word attempted to take up the man tell. it is still the president who pushes those messages forward. i would anticipate when we hear him at cpac some vision of the future for the republican party. jedediah: yeah. i think that is probably true, i
3:07 am
don't want to anticipate what he will or won't say. i think that we all know there is a great sense of responsibility comes with being president, that is talked about a lot. what is not talked about enough is the great responsibility being a ex-president particularly in the first year. i remember george bush when he left office particularly quiet. i often praised that. i wanted president obama at the time to stay quiet. i will say the same thing now. the reason a new president enters office it is hard, it is really challenging. you had half the country upset about decision in pretty much every case. you have to to the rhine. i remember bush saying obama deserves my silence. those were the words. i would urge caution if you give a speech, you have a great power as an ex-president after you left office, to bring unity, a
3:08 am
lot of people are calling on president biden to do that, it becomes hard to do that as an ex-president, your watching your new policies vanish and new policies come in you disagree with. i urge caution that the country is so divided. there is coming off those riots. there is lot going on. i personally favor that silence in president that just left office for a little while while the transition comes to play. president trump is headed in different direction. we'll see what he says. hopefully a optimistic positive message. that remains to be seen. pete, you will be on the ground covering that for us. pete: absolutely, "fox nation" is broadcasting cpac as well. between "fox nation" and "fox & friends" we have you covered as the president takes to the podium. we'll get a chance to hear from him. jedediah: yeah. pete: go ahead, jed. jedediah: go right ahead. pete: there is another topic we're covering this morning. andrew cuomo was featured by the way on "saturday night live" in pretty funny way along with
3:09 am
ted cruz, but they nailed cuomo his insistence not apologizing. there are many layers to the nursing home scandal. one which is the call melissa derosa, his secretary admitted they had been fudging the numbers because of a federal investigation. we're getting new information about that phone call or zoom call that melissa deer rosa was on with dem stratstate legislators on february 10th, the call where she admitted to fudging numbers. she also claimed that the cuomo administration was talking certain doctors. melissa deroseau, senior advisor to cuomo, governor cuomo speaks with dr. fauci and michael oester home. those are the two chief advisors. the pesky part that they need to talk with michael osterholm about that. will: he was on the firing line with margaret hoover, where he was asked how often you're
3:10 am
talking to governor cuomo. listen to the answer? >> first i have not had anything to do with his nursing home activity at all. i basically came on in early june, only just to review data on a weekly basis. did it meet the standards that they have set. so i was almost more of a technician than any technologist. i have never met with the group. i have a paper trail of all the emails. all i was ever asked to do, did this meet the green, yellow, red zone numbers. that was it. i have nod not had a discussion with him. i never met with any of them. i never met with any of them. i never had a zoom call with any of them. will: sharks are circling when it comes to governor andrew cuomo. there have been stories about the last couple days, infamous temper, per rating calls he stands in his way on this issue. do you think melissa derosa received any angry phone calls
3:11 am
the last two weeks. at the center of two of his largest pr scandals within a week time. here, laying out, jedediah, that the governor talks regularly with a doctor who says i don't talk with them at all. jedediah: they didn't think the doctor would come out and say that. i mean he doesn't want to be tied into all of this nonsense and tied into all of the mismanagement that went on. so it's crazy actually they thought they would say that and the doctor would sit back and not clarify or that he wouldn't be asked. media is on the story left and right. they're asking these questions. cuomo spokesperson tried to clarify. i don't know know see how this works out there. the question at the meeting was about "the times" doh story. one of the main takeaways that doh was not involved in micro cluster. this was our micro cluster expert who re lied on the team talked to regularly. i don't know who that satisfies out there. i'm certainly not one of those people. i think it is incredibly indicative cuomo has gotten away
3:12 am
with a lot. he got his emmy. did his book tour. he was not asked tough questions for a long time. the expectation that will continue. he still has not woken up to the fact times have changed. pete: the micro cluster expert defense. we'll see how that much. claiming a big advisor. not so much. jedediah: right. we'll continue to follow that in the next couple hours. we'll cover headlines for you now beginning with extreme weather. 3200 national guardsman are mobilizing in texas, bringing food, water, and aid to others in major need. president biden signs a disaster declaration green-lighting federal aid for the hardest hit communities. president biden visits friends and former kansas senator bob dole following the ref race he is following stage four lung cancer. it the two served on opposite

3:18 am
these hearings are a lot of careful speaks. what do you expect on this topic? >> i expect it will be one of if not the most potent topics the gop senators are going to have for attorney general nominee garland very similar what you saw in 2017 when you had rod rosenstein on the hill. they were talking about the russia investigation. they were asking him for you know, his pledge to run an independently, whether to appoint a special counsel. i think you will see the same thing with merrick garland this is a big test not only for him but the biden administration in general they hedged an independent justice department. you saw last week that biden met with cuomo. i think this is certainly going to be something that everyone is going to be keeping an eye on both tomorrow and going forward. pete: on that theme of independence, what other topics will he be pressed on, do you think? the durham probe? hunter biden. what other topics will be there to prove the attorney general
3:19 am
will be independent or try to approve? >> hunter biden and the durham probe, he will give all the right answers. the question when it comes time for durham to wrap up his investigation, they will be transparency. we saw the mueller report because attorney general barr chose to release it but he didn't have to. so the fact that durham report is allowed to continue doesn't mean we'll get all the answers from the potentially attorney general garland. one of the other issues i think you will see is called third party settlements this is something fox reported would come back after attorney general sessions canceled it. essentially when you have a civil lawsuit the government will direct the settlement funds to go to a third party group instead of the united states treasury. this has been called a slush fund for left-wing organizations. i can see this a big issue with several members of the senate judiciary committee. pete: big position of attorney general any chance he trips up or is this nomination a foregone

conclusion? >> i think his nomination is a foregone conclusion. merrick garland, lisa monaco, those are safe picks. where things get hairy for associate attorney general and gupta and the associate attorney general for civil rights, clark. pete: gupta talking about defunding the police. not helpful when you're dealing with that. ian pryor. thank you. >> you got it. reporter: pete: new york city closing down ice rinks owned by the trump administration. we'll have the story next. ♪. incomparable design makes it beautiful.

3:47 am
shipping, fortran pourtation, distribution, expansion of the vaccine. we can send it to the rural areas that may not be fully equipped to store the vaccine in the arctic temperatures. you have can put it in the normal freezer. it will last up to two weeks. we can send it to small town, rural, farms and hospitals, doctors and hospitals, it can reach more patients and people. it will really benefit us and catch up because we fell a little behind with the winter storm. the more americans we can get vaccinated obviously the better. this will certainly put us one step closer to herd immunity. jedediah: now, doctor, on that 85% effective number, that is a lot higher than initially thought after a single dose. do you anticipate anything similar will emerge with respect to other vaccines like the moderna or vaccines to come? >> absolutely. this is an excellent finding. this was a study out of sheba medical center where they looked
3:48 am
at over 7,000 participants and they found between 15 and 28 days after their first vaccine they averaged about 85% efficacy. what does that mean? that means you're less likely to be hospitalized. you're less likely to have severe complications and less likely to die. this is fantastic news. this raises the question can we delay the second dose a little bit longer? can we see the similar findings with other vaccines like moderna. it is absolutely something that is a possibility. jedediah: doctor, we've seen the story come out that has been scary to many, safe covid-19 vaccines are being sold on the mexican border state clinic. police claims there have been arrests made. the clinic was raid the by state and federal authorities but what is your message for people who are deeply concerned about these fake vaccines coming out here and there? >> this is very dangerous. there should be no charge for the vaccine for the covid vaccine. it is free in this country. anyone trying to is you the vaccine should raise a red flag.
3:49 am
if you have any doubt, any uncertainty, check with your local department of health. any place that offers a vaccine should be a well-known facility. your local hospital. well-known pharmacy, your doctors office. so if there is any uncertainty, check with the department of health. do not purchase any of these vaccines. they shouldn't be for sale. you don't know what is inside of the vaccine. you don't know what chemical it is, you may get a false sense of security thinking i paid $600 for him, it has to be real. you could be harming yourself thinking you're vaccinated or ingesting an unknown chemical. you want to be careful. get your vaccine from a well-known source. jedediah: dr. nesheiwat, thanks for being with us. great info as always. we appreciate it. >> thank you. have a good one. jedediah: coming up a recall election seems more and more likely to get on the ballot in california. senior advisor for the recall newsom campaign joins us with an update next. ♪.

4:04 am
honestly, at the top of the list has to be getting our children educated. we're at our wits end when it comes to the shutdowns. we're absolutely done. parents, jedediah, saying simply open our schools appropriately. jedediah: yeah. you know the one thing that i learned most from teaching kids is that kids don't do well in isolation. they do need to socialize. you saw that one parent saying that and also kids need other kids, right? obviously some kids have had the advantage of siblings at home with them, at least to have some contact with other kids. but they really learn from each other a lot. they develop as a result of learning from each other. so there is a lot of developmental milestones that hit the marks a lot better when kids are around other kids. that is just reality. i think a lot of parent know that they're speaking out. they're seeing a lot of stuff go on with their kids, socially, academically, mentally, they don't like at this point. so they're making their voices heard. see that in images on the
4:05 am
screen, in the only way they feel can. they feel voiceless in many other respects. will: pete, i mentioned we've seen our world upside down in a year's time. it is worth asking us a very important question. how much antipathy towards politicians and schools and children existed prior to this upheaval and just now being exposed? how much of the teachers unions antipathy towards working and educating our children existedded before? in other words, this didn't create the problem. this exposed it. pete: that is a great point. they're squandering a lot of goodwill people had in exposing a system, protected by unions that protects them and it is ultimately not that interested in the education of kids other than the indoctrination of things like common core pushing from the federal level into our local schools. hopefully, hopefully this is a wake-up call for parents. while our schools are closed our border is open. foreign policy looks a lot different under the biden
4:06 am
administration than under the trump administration. an example of that is an op-ed, explanation of that is an op-ed in the "new york post" by michael goodwin, says it simply, joe biden brings america back to bad obama days. here is portion of what michael goodwin writes. from the border of mexico where it is open, where the new administration started opening the doors to at least 25,000 migrants seeking asylum to the middle east tinder box where it moved to rejoin the misbegotten iran nuke deal, the new president appears fixated by the desire to turn back the clock to 2016. will that is the feeling. it is starting to shape up to be an obama third term which is not america first. will: right. pete: which is a lot of international prerogatives, institutions that china has been exploiting but they're going right back to them. will: in rewinding the clock to 2016 i can't say whether or not the biden goal is to return to the obama years or simply undo the trump years but as kevin mccarthy, house minority leader points out, everything
4:07 am
seems to be an doing of america first policies. he said this last night on "justice." >> first thing we'll do about it, we have the closest majority we've had inside the house, just five seats. we're going to fight every step of the day. if you watch what they're trying to do, we need the american public to join with us. we only need six democrats to move to the other side to be able to stop what is happening. this president continues to use an executive order, something he said he would not do. his words on the inaugural, if you didn't even vote for me, wait and see how i govern. we've waited long enough. we felt the pain of what he is doing, now is the time to stop it. jedediah: yeah. so that is divided government plus a little bit. i don't think there are any surprises here we see coming out of the biden administration thus far. there was anticipation there would be a lot of undoing. i think that is what we're doing. that is a pretty good assessment will. not sure whether to define it yet as the return to the obama
4:08 am
years. complete total deviation from the trump years. i think the executive orders are a problem. there has been a lot of them, too many of them. and the border security issues particularly i think deserve heightened criticism as a result of the biden administration coming out to being strong on covid-19 and precautions with respect to covid-19. suddenly, when it comes to border security, and people you know, not staying in mexico anymore while the stuff is figured out, paperwork is figured out, the trial is figured out, with respect to people coming across the border not getting checked properly with respect to covid-19 that is a lot of hypocrisy emerged but not surprising. i don't think we've seen any big, big surprises here if i'm not mistaken, pete. you may differ, i don't see any? pete: i don't think they're surprising. they're just dangerous. jedediah: yeah. pete: he is starting to say america is back when our allies like israel, finally america arrived, stopped pursuing things like the foolhardy iran deal or

5:02 am
tariffs on aluminum imports, biden has reversed industry recognized apprenticeship programs as well. one could call this the great undoing, what's taking place in washington, d.c. right now. but going forward from president trump, it would be nice to see because he will certainly maintain a strong guiding voice on what the republican party will be, policies that the party should stand for. jedediah: if you look at that list that we had up on the screen, it seems really long. that of course is something that you would expect given that if you watched these two campaigns go out, i mean, they really couldn't be more different. you saw what the trump administration prioritized during his time in office and you saw joe biden when he did get out on the campaign trail or his surrogates were out of essentially saying we're going to undo this, this and this so you knew it was coming and the people who supported president trump and were happy with what he brought to the table and his administration brought to the table are upset. as i said earlier, i would urge some caution. it's very hard for an
5:03 am
ex-president who has just left the presidency to not be critical of a president that comes in and is now undoing all of his stuff. i'm sure that president trump felt really strongly about those issues and was really passionate about those decisions and felt that he was representing a lot of people in making them so it's really hard to get on stage so soon after and not create a divisive speech. but the timing needs to be thought about a little bit. the country's really divided right now. we just had the capitol riots. if anything, i'm hoping that that message is one of positivity, of coming together but it's hard. that is not easy to do when you're an ex-president and you're in the initial moments of leaving office. pete: yeah. president trump will be his own man as he always will and he will step to that stage and the world will be wondering exactly what point of view, what tone he wants to take because he hasn't had access to twitter. by the way, he's been canceled by the left as quickly as they possibly could. they wanted to do it during his

5:06 am
the deceit, the lies. there was an interesting tweet that came out from cnn poll of . it reads that the governor became one of the country's brightest political stars. his image suffered a blow following decreased scrutiny over the handling of nursing home deaths in the state. what's important to say about this, it's not just his image that suffered a blow. it's his record. it's what he actually did. it's the lies. and media played a role in a lot of this. there was a lot of media coverup for him, a lot of rush by media initially to glorify him and to assume that he could do no wrong. they liked his tough guy attitude. they liked him. they put him on tv, with a lot of jokes, we watched it play out. not just on cnn. several outlets. but questions weren't being asked. they're being asked now. and i don't really care about his image. i care about what happened to the families of these people. i care about the people who lost their lives as a result of his
5:07 am
policies. that's what people are really concerned with here, not with his image, will. will: i'm going to need to take a long, hard look in the mirror because the influence of pete hegseth has gone beyond having a mountain dew here and there on the morning show. pete: i don't know where this is going. will: you said something in the past which i think turned out to be very true. i was more interested in the past about media bias. i think saying this is an effect on governor cuomo's image is a reflection of media bias. it's kind of part and parcel with the republican pounce, you know what i'm talking about, whenever republicans point out a failure of a democratic politician, the headlines read republicans pounce once again. what i've come to realize, it's not just bias you have to talk about. what you're talking about is agenda, what we're talking about is lies, this is a minor defense in the pantheon of cnn's lies. you need to understand it's deeper now you than simply just
5:08 am
bias. pete: an image that they're happy to help craft, they wanted to craft. it was a counter to donald trump at that moment. hey, point at governor cuomo, maybe he's the man that can be the other side of the argument so we're going to happily elevate him and i love how you point out the fact that his emmy is well deserved. it was an act of an image projecting which ultimately is coming out to be a coverup. and when saturday night live from new york city is willing to talk about andrew cuomo, you know it's resonating elsewhere. of course they added their swipes to ted cruz and his trip to cancun. here's saturday night live on andrew cuomo last night. >> he's going through a huge crisis right now. >> it's real bad. >> you you literally abandoned it and flew to campaign for a family vacation. >> that's right. and now i'm in a little bit of hot water which i'm told is a

5:11 am
as a governor and we've had it. >> everybody in california has a different reason for not liking gavin newsom. he also underscored what a massive volunteer effort this is in order to not only pull in that many signatures but they have to be valid. we don't know what's precisely the rejection rate. they're going to need to get to the bar of 2.1, 2.2 million signatures submitted to get to the 1.5 valid. the energy's there. they're racing against the clock. jedediah: yeah, i had asked randy about is it a bipartisan effort? are you seeing a lot of democrats. that's the only way anything is going to change. we look at states like new york, i know, will, you brought this point up earlier. if you don't have democrats who look at what's happening and decide they're going to turn away from the democrat party because of the policies that have caused them to suffer, if you just have them repeatedly voting for democrats over and over of again, nothing is going
5:12 am
to change. i was curious about that. he seemed to say that, yes, this was a bipartisan effort and a bipartisan level of disgust with gavin newsom which i think is a good sign. >> absolutely. we'll cover these three stories and more this morning. stay with us. we've got a few additional he'd lines. starting with a fox news alert. a plane engine explodes over colorado, minutes after taking off from the denver airport headed for honolulu. debris fell from the sky, large pieces of metal landing on the ground. >> look at that piece falling down there. look at. >> whoa. >> i'm going to see what that debris' about. do you see that? look, you can see the smoke way up high. >> whoa. >> wow. the boeing 777 with 241 people on board bound for hawaii, passengers recall the moment they noticed something was wrong. >> turbulence and then like a really bright kind of bang and

>> listen to this, as migrants line up to enter the u.s. without consequences, thanks to biden's amnesty plans, it turns out american citizens aren't allowed the same privilege. >> there is a ban on american's nonessential travel across the canadian and mexican borders. jedediah: here to react is fox news contributor, tom homan. when you see the parallel of more migrants entering from mexico and the ban on travel for americans, what's your take? >> i think it's hypocrisy at the greatest level. every week -- i can't say i'm surprised. i'm shocked every week that this administration does more and more to entice people to come to the country illegally. the family groups are being released into the communities with no asylum interview and no covid test. not only that, not only do they put the country at great risk for more infection but when the
5:19 am
people get released into the community under their own recognizance, they qualify for work authorization. they'll be competing for the scarce jobs. they're putting the country at greater risk of inspection and putting american workers in a bad way because they're competing for some of the same jobs. >> let's see if we can pars the rational here. from dhs, they say to prevent the citizens and prevent the further spread of covid-19, there are restrictions of nonessential travel until march 21 s. 21st. the reason that ted cruz could choose to fly to cancun, it wasn't a land border crossing. you can't go to loredo or something like that. you can fly away. help me understand these land border crossings have to be shut
5:20 am
down because of the spread of covid-19 but if you're coming in through the same border or nearby illegally, that's going to be allowed. >> i can't make you understand it. it's a foolish decision. it's a false narrative to the american people. they're not testing the family groups coming you across. they're releasing them into the community without covid testing. let me tell you the biggest false narrative. with this legislation, we can't hold families more than 20 days. they can easily fix this and let us hold families up to 35, 40 days to see a judge. they don't want to do that. we held them long enough on 35, 40 days, to see a judge, 90% of them lost their case. the border numbers plummeted. they know how to fix this issue. they can easily say hold them long enough to see a judge. they say these people have a right for asylum and a right to see a judge. let us detain them long enough to see a judge. they don't want that to happen.
5:21 am
they know that over 90% will be deported. they want them here in the united states. >> that's exactly right. the problem is, they don't want enforcement. and if your enforcers don't want enforcement, you don't get any of it. tom homan, thank you so much. >> thanks for having me. >> coming up, parents in california pushing back after these insulting comments from their very own school board. >> they want to pick on us because had they want their babysitters back. >> we have the meeting open to the public right now. >> one mom and son in the district have a message for those members who are now out of a job. research shows that people remember commercials with exciting stunts. so to help you remember that liberty mutual customizes your home insurance, here's something you shouldn't try at home. insurance is cool. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

5:27 am
the school board meeting ignited this larger message of open our schools. >> it has been amazing, a blessing in disguise for sure. just having the coverage out here has really opened everyone's eyes into looking into why are we still closed, why aren't we more involved in interviewing these people for these school boards? it's a really eye-opener for everyone. will: landon, i have a seventh grader as well. he's been in remote school learning for almost a year. he's been pretty honest with me as late, he said dad, i'm done with this. i'm tired of looking at a zoom computer screen all day long, i miss my friends. how's it going for you. >> i'm hanging in there. i went from as a scholar athlete, 4.0 gpa to barely just getting all my homework done and just hanging in there.
5:28 am
will: scholar athlete, tell me about that, 4.0. i heard that part. what's the athlete part. >> i did basketball and then i was a wrestler. so that kicks in with the scholar athlete. will: nice. what do you want to see? what do you need, landon, to get back to? what are you missing with your schools closed? >> a lot. my friends, just interacting with my teachers more, not like everyone having their cameras off and just interacting with everyone and then the teachers, like it's way different now because everything's just online and i wish we could just more interact with our teachers. will: you certainly understand how to give public speaking. i don't know if that's the process of talking into a computer all day at school or not but just being an impressive young man. but ashley, i think to some extent we've come to expect that teachers unions have been somewhat of an impediment to get back to schools. were you surprised to find out
5:29 am
school boards apparently are as well. >> extremely, yeah. i mean, everything about this just kind of was shocking and it's a good kind of shocking, it's like ripping off a band-aid and a it's kind of -- we get the opportunity to start fresh and -- but yeah, there's a lot more to it than just the school board. will: how do you explain that, ashley? how do you explain a school board taking that kind of position, that kind of at attite towards parents? >> it's really -- we're all human and we all make mistakes. we all have certain feelings. when you log onto a zoom meeting as a board member, you have you to put everything to the side so that was -- it's it was disheartening that their moment of weakness was caught on camera. it's also a good opportunity to let their lights be light on everything. will: good opportunity to
5:30 am
enforce the most important message, which is open these schools, get our kids, like landon, sitting right there, back into schools. landon, keep up the 4.0. i hope they get you back to sports really soon. you're clearly an impressive young man. thank you both for getting up early with us this morning. take care. still ahead, the gop eyeing new york congressman lee zeldin to take on an embattled andrew cuomo as the fallout over the state's nursing home deaths looms over the next governor's race. the congressman joins us live, next.

5:35 am
about the doctor. did they not think the doctor was going to get asked this question and he wasn't going to tell the truth about the kind of exchanges he had with governor cuomo? >> maybe they thought that the doctor was going to provide cover, was just going to go along if asked. and this came to light a bit more because of some recent statements that were made by melissa derosa, the secretary of the governor. interestingly, at the beginning of february, february 1st, there's a new york times story about how several top health officials at new york state quit. they left. and there's a reference in the article to this doctor. this doctor, this is part of the governor's narrative, the team's narrative of how we still have these advisors around us and try to show stability. this doctor's referenced as someone who was regularly working with governor cuomo and while this is back in the news
5:36 am
now, this is part of a narrative from a few weeks ago. the end of february, governor cuomo was asked about whether or not he trusts experts. he said when i put experts in air quotes, does it sound like i don't trust them? well, it's because i don't. this is a big back story, beyond just the doctor stepping up and saying it's not true. going back to it's -- it's worth everyone going and reading the february 1st new york times article. >> here's what the cuomo spokesperson is trying to say. the question that the meeting was about the time's doh story, one of the main take-aways is the doh wasn't involved in micro clusters. this was our micro cluster expert we relied on and the team talked to regularly. i don't know if that clarifies anything. you're a united states congressman. i'm sure you have many interactions with new york politicians. as the sharks begin to circle around governor cuomo, one of
5:37 am
the stories is his rage. lbj bent arms, grabbed elbows. donald trump didn't treat people with kid gloves. is there something different with andrew cuomo as we hear about the outrage he has against anybody who is stepping up against him. >> i think a lot of it is his character going way back to when he was working with his father. this is his reputation. someone who is a bully, who is vindictive. this is how he operates. i remember when governor cuomo was first sworn in as governor. there was a story comparing new york governors to governors of some other states and saying that in new york they like their dictator governors and they're using andrew cuomo as an example of it. there's a lot of talk now around ron kim and lindsey boylen, democrats who are stepping up, elected officials and others.
5:38 am
they are -- they're making news now but this is something that's been known for a very long time. this is his style of operating out of fear, making people believe that there will be repercussions if you cross him and it's not just -- it's not just andrew cuomo on republican, it's andrew cuomo communicating with fellow democrats, members of the media, and it isn't the right way to do business, especially if -- your support becomes a house of cards. he doesn't build up good will. i think that's why so many more people are piling on right now. he's in his third term, about to go for the fourth term and people are fed up and he has no friends left. >> he's about to run for his fourth term. there's names swirling about who might run against him. yours is on the list, you're the top. will congressman lee zeldin be running for governor in new york? >> the one thing that i know for sure is that i will do absolutely everything in my power to help whoever our
5:39 am
candidate is to make sure that an due cuomo doesn't get elected to a fourth term. i've had a lot of outreach directly to me. it's different than someone checking in and saying hey, you know, i think you should do it. people are passionate. they're fired up. they're tired of their restrictive freedoms, they're seeing the restaurant that they enjoy going to, they see it going out of business. they see the violence that was in new york city, not enough support for our police, the cashless bail up in albany, the higher taxes. people are emotional about it when they're reaching out and they're making it sound like, listen, if you don't do this and if you don't win, i'm leaving this state. that is the most common connection from one call to the next. >> is that a maybe? is that maybe? >> well, i'll tell you the next call, the next conversation is going to be important with my wife and my twin daughters. i have 14-year-olds. there needs to be a conversation
5:40 am
with them before we start thinking seriously about these calls that are coming in. you need to have the right balance with family. it doesn't matter whether you're in media, whether you -- especially if you're in elected office and you travel a lot and i'm sure a lot of people who are listening can relate. you need to have the support of your most trusted advisors at home and that's what's most important next. jedediah: congressman lee zeldin, thanks for being with us this sunday morning. >> you got i good morning. jedediah: we're going to turn to some head had lines for you now. officials identify the victims of a deadly plane crash in wisconsin. staff sergeant remington vinnie was killed after the engine fell from the sky shortly after takeoff. it's unclear who was flying the plane or what caused the crash. ken jennings thanks alex he tre,

5:46 am

5:47 am
he could get a message out. there's a number of people that could get a message out. i don't think we have to spell words backwards and look at wilted roses to figure out what is clear to everybody, clear as the nose on your face. she's in a conservatorship, in other words, her father along with now thankfully a partner is controlling all of her finances. another person, jody montgomery, is controlling her personal life. this woman is 39 years old with two boys growing up rapidly, and should be in control of a $16 million empire. they could make her get on a stage and work like a mule but she can't be in charge of her own american express cards in i ?i don't think so. here's the tricky part. she has not contested for an end to the conservatorship. she could do that. her boyfriend could do that. a spouse might do that. a friend or family member could
5:48 am
make that request. all she has asked for, however, is to have her father, who she says she is afraid of, removed. so far that hasn't happened. i don't understand that. jedediah: i think those are excellent points. i think one of the reasons the fans are looking for codes is because the concern is that if her father is controlling everything, they're looking for a direct line to britney. they want to hear from britney. there was talk about a potential documentary coming to express britney's point of view and people were saying is that possible, given the restraints of the conservatorship. you cover a lot on this topic. you talk about britney's condition. let's take a look at that right now. >> what do you make of britney's condition as we know it from the outside looking in. >> >> what i think is that britney has something that is very rare

called a mood disorder. most people with mood disorders can be appropriately managed through medication. but every once in a while you have a person with a mood disorder where medication doesn't hold. the symptoms keep breaking through. jedediah: your thoughts, nancy? >> you know, another thing, britney spears clearly can perform on stage. she's incredibly creative. i think one of the fears is she did come under the influence of others, i.e., men, no of againso men out there. she's had one man after the next come into her life and use her. that's what we're trying to avoid. that includes her father. but can i very quickly talk to you and show you the picture of two little boys, orin and his little brother, orson, they're 4 and 3 years old. they're missing out of near

6:01 am
park ice rink. jedediah: and in california, parents are rallying to reopen schools. >> what do we want? >> schools to open. >> when do we want it? >> now. jedediah: the cries for children to return to the classroom after an entire school board resigns after being caught shaming parents. welcome everyone to the 9:00 a.m. hour of "fox & friends weekend," here with will cain and pete hegseth. the last topic we talked about in california has blown up in the last few days. everyone will remember the call where school board members in california were mocking parents, i think the line was they want their babysitters back. that went vie viral. the individuals didn't know they were on a call that was open to the public. lots of parents heard what they were saying. the first step was the resignation of the board members. the second step is you see parents rallying for those schools to reopen, having had
6:02 am
enough with the shutdown, watching their kids go through quite a bit of suffering as a result. here's a montage of the parents rallying and what they had to say in oakley, california on saturday. >> the reason we're not in school today is because -- is really the power and the monopoly of the teacher unions, calling for -- not seeking the kids out first. >> the kids need to socialize. they need to be amongst their peers. they need to have friends. my son and daughter miss their friends. >> everything else can be open and running at this point but our schools are still not open. it's very sad for our kids. >> what's the plan? are you following the science? why are other states 100 to 100,000 case rate and open for business? all around us. and we've got other districts that aren't. because they're not serving our children. >> parents standing up, opening their eyes to the absurdity,
6:03 am
americans standing up for their businesses, their children, their schools. the greatest question going forward is how did we sit down for so long and take these absurdities. i spoke to a paint and a student in they -- parent and a student in the school district a little earlier on "fox & friends." this is what they had to say about their feelings about the school board and reopening their schools. >> i went from thriving, a scholar athlete, a 4.0 of gpa to barely getting my homework done and just hanging in there. it's way different now. everything is just online. and i wish we could just have more interaction with our teachers. >> just having the coverage out here has really opened everyone's eyes, looking into why are we still closed, why aren't we more involved in interviewing these people for these school boards. it's a good kind of shocking. like ripping off a band-aid.
6:04 am
we get the opportunity to start fresh. >> it's a great point. school boards are getting renewed scrutiny as well. many people assume people who run for the school board are in it for the kids, the parents and the community. oftentimes unions are effective in finding preferred candidates on the school board. i just spilled mountain dew on the table. >> that happens when i get fired up about kids and schools. it's on my phone and notes. this is "fox & friends." what do you expect. and i'm distracted. the story is not just california. we had a story with a kid in florida, in martin county, who is throwing his own prom because the school says we can't do prom because of covid. he's stepping up, saying people donated money, willing to go out and do it and they'll have a county-wide prom. that same county has the county fair open. you can go to the county fair, go feed the pigs, go get a corn
6:05 am
dog, i assume they do that but you can't hold a prom with covid protocol. >> i bet your tax bill will come too. they'll make sure to send you the tax bill. jedediah: parents have had to sue, parents have had to take on teacher unions, parents feel like they have to take on school boards. they are now standing outside the schools, holding signs, saying it's time to open up. another story we're following, house speaker nancy pelosi could vote on a $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill as soon as this week. but it's coming under scrutiny for giving money to projects not related to the pandemic. shocking. mark meredith is live in washington, breaking doubt the bill. mark. >> reporter: good morning. president biden made passing a covid economic stimulus package a top priority. there are questions about how much of the package is truly meant to help the country through the pandemic. democrat call the 591 page bill essential and ensuring that enhanced unemployment insurance
6:06 am
continues. , that stimulus checks did out and food assistance programs have necessary funding. some are concerned there will be other of projects unrelated to covid working their way into the bill. fox business reports the package contains more than $100 million to help expand bart, the bay area rapid transit system, some republicans are asking why this is critical spending. one congressional aide saying an a earmark to help cover the cost of big tech subway construction cost has nothing to do with battling covid-19. republicans question whether spending more money now is necessary, considering a stimulus package was passed in september. there are a lot of questions about where the money will end up. >> you should always look at whom your helping and who you're taking the money from. government doesn't create resource, it redistributes resources. >> reporter: the house is expected to move the bill forward later on this week, it's likely to face a tougher battle in the senate where democrats
6:07 am
hold the slimmest of margins in their majority. >> i'm taking a look at the quote, unquote, covid-19 relief bill. here's some of the line items where this money will go. you can tell me how this helps advance the relief of covid-19. $50 million for family planning. $135 million to the arts and humanities, $10 million to he preserve native american languages. look at this. $30 million in recoup money to howard university. just one university mentioned in this bill. howard university. >> only one? >> just howard. >> an alumni of howard, who is that? vice president. >> i'm just saying. maybe. maybe that has something to do with it. it is maddening to watch, maddening to watch how dysfunctional washington is. it's entirely unnecessary the size and scope of this. much of it is bailout to cities and states that have been run dysfunctionaly for decades. what does it not include?
6:08 am
the ability for americans to be open for business, with their job, whatever you're doing in life you can do safely at this point. we're getting closer to the herd immunity that we've needed from the beginning. the bill doesn't do anything about that. spends a lot of money we don't have. you wonder how long you can do that. jedediah: politicians going to bundle. they love to bundle. that's why i advocate for term limits. if anyone has the audacity to say i can't vote for this because there's extra stuff in it that that i don't support, of course they will instantly be cass at this gait -- castigated for not caring about covid-19. they should put out a bill that just addresses covid-19 and everyone will sign off on it. we can't expect that from politicians so here we are. here's another story we're following in the name of spite and politicians being politicians and politics being what it is, is today is the last day the trump organization will
6:09 am
operate new york city skating rinks in a move to essentially punish trump. people are upset at trump because of the capitol riots, some blame him for that. as a result, kids are suffering and kids are not going to be able to use the ice skating rinks for an additional three weeks. there's a quote from the park spokeswoman, this is what she had to say. we're working diligently through our competitive process to secure new operators for the great amenities so as not to impact the season will, you spoke with kids that use the rinks, with individuals who help those kids on those skating rinks and this is just an unfortunate reality of some things need to be bigger than politics. this is not about donald trump. if you don't like donald trump's behavior or you think he incited the riot, why do the kids have to suffer as a result. this is idiotic. it's just nonsense and it's sad. will: the trump organization's contract with the city of new york was scheduled to expire in april. they're canceling it in their words, quote, impeaching
6:10 am
president trump, two months early, kicking him out of central park and the trump ice rink. what that means is that kids, part of the hockey in harlem program, for example, willing not be able to skate for the remaining two months, not to mention how many job losses will be entailed by shutting that down early. i spoke to a mother and daughter who both play hockey right there in harlem. listen to this. >> it's really devastating. my kids have been in this program for six years. we're just one of hundreds of families that we really enjoy this program and stuck with it. this is like christmas for our of kids. this is the one thing that they look forward to every year and to have it snatched away from us without any explanation, it's really crazy. >> it's really upsetting because i was looking forward to the last day of ice hockey. that's when usually me and my friends, we get each other's phone numbers, we ice skate, say
6:11 am
our good-byes. to have that end early is really sad. >> donald trump's not going to care that his rink is closing three weeks early but our kids care and our families care and we have to do something about it. >> that's the collateral damage the left doesn't care about, frankly, because it's the orange man who is bad, we need to do something about it right now. you said it right. those are the words of bill de blasio. this is an effort to impeach trump out of the city, no one's critical of how they ran the rink. they ran it for decades successfully. i think we have a picture of donald trump from i believe 1986 in woman rink. he long ago found a rink in disrepair and was willing to pour his own money to put it back together and then man it through the trump organization which they have. they knew their time was limited in new york city because of, well, the politics of new york city but to close it down four weeks early is spiteful. kids will lose out on the last part of their hockey season. and also bill de blasio can feel
6:12 am
good about himself. >> the places you'll end if your only guiding light in life will be donald trump. let's turn to a few additional headlines, starting with a fox news you alert. a plane engine explodes over of colorado minutes after taking off from the denver airport, debris fell from the sky, large pieces of metal landing on the ground. >> look at that piece falling down there. look at -- i'm going to go see what that debris' about. do you see that? then look, you can see the smoke way up high. >> whoa. >> the boning 777 with 241 people on board was bound for hawaii. passengers recall the moment they noticed something was zonk a lot of turbulence and then like a really bright kind of bang and flash. >> you barely see some sparks every now and then and of course you could smell it and it felt warm under my seat.
6:13 am
>> the plane landed safely. the faa and ntsb are investigating. and new mexico's democratic governor is caught spending taxpayer money on groceries, dry cleaning and mexico. they uncovered she spent more than $13,000 over a six-month period. she put the blame on a staffer who made the purchases but did say she, quote, dropped the ball. and a marine veteran and his 4-month-old german shepherd are hailed as heroes for helping police stop an intruder. >> my neighbor started yelling there's a guy in my bushes. i seen a guy running into my door, full force. i yelled for my dog, go get him. he went right there through the bushes and grabbed him by the pant legs and drug him off the porch. >> edward and his puppy took down the man attempting to break into several homes.
6:14 am
police were able to take the man into custody after arriving on the scene. and those are your headlines. good dog. jedediah: the power of dogs. i was going to say dogs in general but then i thought about my own dog who weighs about 4 pounds on a good day and i don't know that she would of have been able to accomplish that task so maybe large size dogs are different. >> i think the debate we could of have is does that qualify as a dog. no offense. >> jedediah's dog? four pounds. it's not clear. jedediah: my dog is a dog. daisy objects. pete, this coming from you who scared an onscreen makeout with daisy, this is unacceptable. .>> you should have heard him during the commercial break. what did you say, it's a rodent if it's four pounds. >> i did not say that. jedediah: will brings truth the table. i'm going to convey the message to daisy. revenge is sweet. as the effort to recall gavin newsom ramps up, a new rebuke of

watch me! feel real relief. ask your rheumatologist about cosentyx. jedediah: as the overt to recall california governor gavin newsom nears a ballot, a new criticism of the handling of the pandemic emerges. the san francisco chronicle editorial board released a scathing op-ed. in it, the paper calls for a leader to take on the teachers unions and reopen of classrooms. the former san diego mayor has been vocal about it. what do you make of the san francisco chronicle coming out and the editorial board saying this is a scandal? is this a new level in criticism for california leadership? >> well, it's growing and it continues to grow, day by day. and the fact that you saw that from the san francisco chronicle i think speaks volumes. and what we are seeing, the
6:19 am
unfortunate reality in california, parents are angry, at their wit's end because of absolutely no leadership from our governor. the fact that private schools are open, teachers are in the classrooms safely teaching, kids are safely learning, because those schools report to parents but yet public schools are closed because they report to gavin newsom. that's what we're fighting against in california, to get our schools open now, not next week, not next month. but now. our kids need us. they're depending on us to do that. jedediah: so kevin, we see now that california lawmakers are unveiling this $12.6 billion school reopening plan. now you have gavin newsom coming out and saying it's not fast enough. this is a quote from newsom on the school reopening plan. pie fear about what was put out yesterday is actually going to slow down our ability to reopen schools safely. the proposal that was put out actually sets back the cause of safely reopening schools on a timeline. your thoughts on what he's saying as of of now? >> all we're seeings is
6:20 am
rhetoric, plan after plan and no action. that's the problem. the governor came out with a plan that said schools would be reopened in california by february. another failed promise. all we're seeing is people talking about it, not actually getting to work, making the tough decisions and the leadership that says it's time to safely reopen of our schools. the cdc said this, dr. fauci, everyone said it's safe for kids to be in school. it's time to get them open in california. jedediah: so let's look at that $12.6 billion to reopen and how it's allocated. we have $2 billion for reopening costs, this academic year. $4.6 billion for programs to address learning loss. and it requires health departments make vaccine available to on dashcam pus-cams employees. so requiring the vaccine availability, does that institute yet another delay in the process? >> well, if that's what happens, it would. and i think we have seen that. the cdc said it's not a
6:21 am
prerequisite to open our schools and again, the fact that schools are open all over this country, the fact that private schools are safely reopened in california, i mean, why you're seeing this anger and this building anger in california, parents literally taking to the streets, because there's no sense of urgency. there's this talk and another semester is now at risk of not being opened here in california and parents rightfully are saying we need to open our schools and i've been very vocal about that, not just as candidate for governor but as a father with two kids in public schools. the census says we have to do something, guys. it's past time and that's why we've been fighting so hard. jedediah: yeah, kevin, not just in california. we're seeing it in new york and other states as well. it's sad what's going on. we appreciate you being here. >> thank you. jedediah: coming up, president biden does a quick 180 on foreign policy telling counterparts at the g-7 summit that the era of america first is over. what happens now?

6:25 am
>> president biden reenters the world stage at least virtually, promising to move past donald trump's america first agenda. >> i speak to you today as president of the united states at the very start of my administration and i'm sending a clear message to the word, america is back. i know the past few years have strained and tested our transatlantic relationship. but the united states is determined, determined to re-engage with europe, turn back our position of trusted leadership. >> part of his speech to g-7 leaders. here to react, fox news strategic analyst and retired
6:26 am
four star general, general jack keane. thank you for being here. how are european leaders receiving the message from the white house? >> oh, i think they're absolutely fawning over it. i mean, this is kind of a return to the kind of gushing patronizing rhetoric that we heard for eight years of the obama/biden administration with the europeans and despite how they promote their own self-interest at the expense of allies and also the united states, the reality is, is that biden is likely going to embrace them and continue to embrace them, despite that i mean, look at what we tried to do. trump tried to fix the nuclear deal for a year before he pulled out of it with france, germany and the u.k. to no success whatsoever. the nordstrom gas pipeline between russia and germany, something that the united states
6:27 am
opposed strongly because while it benefits germany's interests, it's done so at the expense of central and eastern european allies and more importantly gives russia a stronger economic hand inside of europe. which in of itself weakens the transatlantic alliance. and just recently we've seen another indication how europeans promote their self-interest when -- by the way, let me go back. the reason why those three countries did not fix the nuclear deal is because of their economic ties to iran. and just recently the europeans entered into a unilateral agreement with china, a major economic agreement and biden administration asked them not to do it because they were about to take power and they did it anyway. promoting their own self interest at the expense of the security of their allies, allies in this case are allies particularly in the indo-pacific
6:28 am
region. >> i see, general. so europe first is alive and well. it's just america first that's taking a back seat at this point. what do our enemies or adversaries hear from the message from the white house? >> yeah, i think particularly when it comes to iran, i mean, we're beginning to signal that their maligned and aggressive behavior in the region is okay. what am i talking about? they top pelled a friendly u.s. government in yemen the year the deal was signed. we just paused the military assistance deal to the united arab emirates and also to the kingdom of saudi arabia, weapons they need to have effective
6:29 am
deterrents against iran. this week, we have signaled to the world, to our european allies and certainly to iran that the sanctions are a failure as far as the biden administration is concerned. they intend to re-enter the nuclear deal if iran comes into compliance. and the glaring reality is that in the same week they're making that statement, the iranians you attacked a u.s. base with their iranian backed militia in iraq, killed one contractor, wounded nine others including a u.s. serviceman. if you're sitting in iran and these things are starting to happen, what is the message? the message is oh, the united states is back once again tolerating our behavior in the region. we can do what we want in the region and there is no penalties assessed for that behavior. >> america is back to
6:30 am
appeasement is often what our enemies here at this point. vladimir putin has very few domestic political opponents because domestic on of significance is not allowed in russia. one of them was recently sent back to moscow and a court in moscow is rejecting the opposition leader navalny's appeal. these images are from his appeal in the court in russia. a famous dissident to vladimir putin who is now locked up. what is next in this story? >> well, i think what putin's calculation is likely this. obviously navany was in germany, hospitalized as a result of putin's thugs trying to kill him using poison to do that. nav a any, man of extreme courage, came back to russia to promote his opposition along with others to the putin regime, arrested immediately upon contact inside of russia and now
6:31 am
he'll spend close to three years in jail, upheld by the court. putin's calculation, he's very concerned about the parliamentary elections coming up later in the year. the united russia party is the party that's in power. and navany has a huge following in russia which has been growing, not just because of his rhetoric and his courage standing up against the regime but because putin's economic policies are failing and also they've had significant problems with covid and they're getting tired of putin's adventures outside of russia at the expense of their quality of life and well-being. all of that is rising against putin. he's concerned about those elections. he wants navany in jail, his calculation, even though that will get large demonstrations particularly in the spring. his calculations is, he'll still remain in control. that's what he wants. putin is all about power and control and if he has to kill people to maintain that, he will
6:32 am
do it as he tried to do with navany and putting them in jail as far as he's concerned is likely worth this risk. >> general jack keane, thank you very much. appreciate your time as always. >> good talking to you. pete: still ahead, democrat senator ed markey getting pushback after saying the number one priority of the vaccine rollout should be racial justice. al a len west will react that that comment, next.

6:37 am
colonel alan west. good to see you. how was your week? let's check in with you. did you lose power? if you didn't lose power, are you terrified how big your electric bill is going to be. >> it's good to be with you. no, we did not lose power. unfortunately, my 5 month pregnant daughter did lose power in her home. she was in south dallas. we were able to bring her here so she was safe and warm. today, we're in a warming trend but we're going to see a lot of the after-effects. when you talk about these high utility costs, what's amazing to me is we now find out that the acting secretary of the department of energy, david hiznga junior told the state of texas they could buy energy from other states but at a cost of $1,500 per megawatt hour which is a $6,000 increase. i'm sure that will have a lot to do with the high utility bills that some people may see. but thoughts, condolences and a
6:38 am
really just best wishes go out to people who are trying to recover from this. jedediah: colonel, we've been watching some of the images unfold. they've been just terrifying in some respects and just hearing that anyone would face an energy bill of that cost, your heart breaks for everyone in texas right now. look at that, you can see it on the screen right now. i want to shift over to a topic related to vaccine distribution right now because many have been talking about some of the pit falls of that distribution. ed markey, a democratic senator, hosted a roundtable and this is what he had to say. racial justice must be our number one priority as we distribute the covid-19 vaccine. michael curry and reverend comepepper, as we discuss the need for greater equity. what was at issue, he was saying that white americans were getting vaccinated at a far greater speed than latino and
6:39 am
black americans and that needed to be fixed. what do you make of the racial justice component of vaccine distribution and the suggestion that that should be a priority. >> it's offensive and conned sending. that's expected of democrats. president joe biden basically said black and hispanics are too dumb to be able to go online and make these appointments. so in a way, i mean, that was a slap in the face, that was a racist comment. when you just had harvard university publish a study saying if we had given blacks rep presentations they would have-reparations they would have been able to overcome covid. the democrat party established 21st century economic plantations, there's a lack of economic growth and opportunity, a lack of good quality medical facilities and those are the places where we see democrats that are in charge. they made poor decisions over the years and the black community has been sadly the

6:47 am
to make of section 230. we know that section 230 of the 1996 telecommunications act basically gives them the opportunity to have no liability whatsoever for anything said on those platforms. that was put in place back in 1996 at the dawn of the new era of big tech, of social media. that was when google went public and amazon was going public early '90s. we didn't know how huge these companies would become and at the time they said, look, we're bulletin boards. we'll have a bulletin board where everyone throws their ideas on stuff and it's a diverse conversation. that's not how it panned out. these numbers underlie this bias, this reality that big tech has chosen a side and that section 230 should go away and they should actually be subject to lawsuits and the liability
6:48 am
that every other media company is and we'll see if that happens, given the fact that the people who are getting the money, the donations are the people in charge in terms of what happens with section 230. the republicans want to move on it. we have a big week ahead and that certainly will be one of the conversations taking place. this morning, we're looking ahead to tuesday. tuesday there is an important hearing happening in the senate, in ron johnson's committee where he will finally be able to hear from people under oath about what took place, who knew what, when, for the january 6th breach of the capitol. that hearing is going to be super important and we will preview it this morning. ron johnson is my first guest this morning, the senator will go through the questions he wants answered and then mike turner from the intel committee is coming up, the congressman is going to tell us what intel he obtained to warrant this incredible police state going on around the capitol which now we understand is in place until the fall. we've got steven miller coming up, obviously he has decades of

>> nascar heads back to daytona today on fox, the cup series action continues with the o'reilly auto parts race at the speedway's road course. live coverage starts at 2:30 eastern. the race kicks off at 3:00. let's bring in nascar announcer mike joy with a preview. thanks for being here. the preview, is it two words? is it chase elliott? >> [laughter] thanks, will. and good morning. it's been more than two years since anybody not named chase elliott has won a nascar cup series point race on a road course. his hendricks chevrolets seem to have an edge on the field and what we saw in last week's bush class exhibition is they are better than the competition under braking and getting into the corners and have just as good a drive off the corner as everybody else. is he a prohibitive favorite? no. is he an odds on favorite, yes,
6:54 am
absolutely. will: he hadn't loss as you pointed out in two years. what is it? for those watching who might not know the difference between road and the regular daytona 500 and so many tracks are oval, road is twisting and turning. what makes chase elliott and his team so good. i heard you talk about braking and getting in and out. is it the crew, the car, is it chase? is it all of the above? >> it's all of the above. alan is the crew chief, one of the best in the sport. he'll have a very well prepared car. a lot of it is his adaptability to road racing. traditionally nascar had 34 oval races a year and two road course races. this year is a huge change, seven road course races and 129- 29 ovals. on an oval track you get to high gear and stay in high gear and you're only turning left if all goes well.
6:55 am
on road courses, as you say, the turns are different banking, different radius, some lefts, some rights, and i think a lot more challenging than oval racing in that the driver has a whole lot more to do, there's more casual contact, more three and four wide racing and frankly that's why nascar added more road courses to the schedule this year. will: let's go back to prohibitive versus odds on. chase is the odds on favorite. that means in your estimation who will give him the greatest challenge? >> michael mcdowell who won the daytona 500 in a surprise ending when roger penske teammates crashed racing for the lead with one mile to go last sunday. mcdowell ends up the winner, his first win in about 350 starts in the series. but prior to that, he had a tremendous road racing
6:56 am
background, won his class in the daytona 24 hours, raced in champ car which is now indy car, on road of courses. that's his background so he will be a strong threat and martin truex always good on the road course as well. so there's three good ones to watch for. will: i believe mcdowell is up front to start the race along with elliott. you can watch the 253 race today, 3:00 eastern on fox. mike, thanks so much for breaking it down for us. have fun today. remember to download the fox bets super 6 app for your chance to win $10,000 for nascar, pick six outcomes in stage two of the race. winners will be announced on stage 3. download the app now to play. more "fox & friends" moments away. martin. when a hailstorm hit, he needed his insurance to get it done right, right away. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa
