ken cuccinelli, we appreciate you being on the show. jillian: go back to bed. "fox & friends" start right now, have a great weekend, everyone. >> president biden ordering an air strike in syria. the u.s. striked targets with iranian-backed malacias and i hope the biden administration realize that. >> senate parliamentarian determine the minimum wage increase does not qualify under special budget reconciliation rules. >> andrew cuomo is fighting for his job as democrats are leading the charge to remove him from office. >> does president biden still think andrew cuomo is the gold standard. >> to be fair, let's put all the comments and context. >> anti-trump bias is behind their decision to keep schools

closed. >> they're allowing the teachers unions to dictate when students go back to school instead of joe biden acting like a leader and doing what he said he would do. >> the fate of mr. potato head. steve: good morning, everybody. it's friday, 26, 2021. we start with fox news alert. at least 17 in a military strike carried out by the u.s. military in syria according to a reuters report. ainsley: u.s. military hitting iranian-backed forces with a defense air strike marking the first military action of the biden administration. a senior official calling a shot across the bow and tended to deter iran. brian: follows the rocket attack on u.s.-led military base in iraq earlier this month. a few of them that killed the civilian contractor and wounded

a u.s. service member and iraq forces in green zone didn't get anybody. evidently this group is a group called the blood brigade and we don't know, we are going by some reports that 17 were dead. it looks like we dropped 7 jay-dams and also interesting that we responded to an attack in iraq against iranian militia groups located in syria. evidently joe biden was given a series of targets, this was a range of options they say. this is one of the most limited responses chosen but goes to show you that at least you attack our people you will get hicked back. steve: so they killed one of our u.s. contractors and another military member of the u.s. armed force was injured so it was payback time. so what is ironic, however, is when you take a look, okay, so

we struck a target in syria, right? back in 2017 the trump administration launched air strikes against syria in retaliation for assad gassing their own people. at the time, jen psaki, four years ago tweeted this. also what is the legal authority for strikes, assad is a brutal dictator but syria is a sovereign country. and after -- after she tweeted that and it was then four years later looked at, ainsley, a lot of people said, oh, i remember that and they retweeted her tweet. they said, great tweet. i look forward to you condemning joe biden's illegal strikes in your press conference tomorrow. i don't think that's going to happen. ainsley: we remember seeing those images of the children and the women and the men that were killed in that attack. this is joe biden in a tweet back in october -- it was october 16th, 2019. he said i will be discussing donald trump's recent actions in

syria and how his impulsive decisions endangered our troops and made us all less safe and makes it political, back it wasn't okay and now it is. brian: assad is as bad as anybody as we had in the modern world. how he's allowed to stay in power after the brutal way he treated his own people is unbelievable and sad statement on society today. anything bad that happens to his forces and the militias that he allows to take root there is good news for the world. steve: as we have pointed out, when donald trump it, it was the end of the world but when joe biden did it it was great for the world. we report, you decide. let's turn to washington, d.c. where the house is expected to vote later today and pass $1.9 trillion relief bill later on today. griff jenkins joins us live with more on that and griff, there's one problem and that's the

senate and apparently unlike a lot of washington, they have rules. >> that's right, steve, ainsley, brian, good morning. i think it's goodnight irne, ,elizabeth saying it does not qualify under reconciliation rules, but has not deterred the president from moving forward. >> the only way to contain the pandemic and help the american people as quickly as possible is passing the plan as quickly as possible. griff: speaker pelosi disappointed and ignoring the senate parliamentarian saying, house democrats believe the mine mum wage hike is necessary therefore revision will remain in the american rescue plan on the floor tomorrow. also in the bill 1,400-dollar stimulus checks, 400-dollar weekly unemployment benefits and 100 million for rapid transit expansion.

pelosi's decision, guys, complicates matters which means the senate will have to strip the minimum wage provision and then whatever they pass goes back to the house and keep in mind they are on a deadline because unemployment benefits expire march 14th, senate majority leader chuck schumer wouldn't happy about the decision, but says, quote, we are not going to give up the fight to raise the minimum wage to $15 to help millions of struggling american workers and their families and here is what to watch. after the house passes the bill with minimum wage at some point today and the senate trips it and sends it back, what the house progressives do is interesting because pelosi can only lose 5 democrats and enough rebolted because it does not have minimum wage, it would end first major legislative loss. ainsley: bernie sanders says he strongly disagrees with what the parliamentarian did taking off the men male wage hike. aoc said be glad we didn't ask

for $25 an hour and lindsey is very pleased and joe manchin and kristin sinema opposed since the beginning. here is joe biden, he predicted that it wouldn't survive, listen. >> you also want to raise the minimum wage to $15. is that something that you would be willing to negotiate on in order to get republican support? >> apparently that's not going to occur because of the rules of the united states senate. >> so you're saying the mine male wage -- >> my guess it will not be in it but i do think that we should have a minimum wage standby itself and nobody should work 40 hours a week and live below poverty wage and if you're making less than $15 -- >> that may not be in your relief plan? brian: he understands the senate and it has nothing to do with the budget. it's unnecessary. the only reason you can do is

simple majority, reconciliation and not get the 60 votes as if it has to do with an economic issue and this is not one of them. it does not fit the criteria. i think it's a gift to democrats and jon because it wasn't going to pass. kristin and joe manchin weren't going to vote for it. listen, i wasn't going to vote for it but now they got rid of the minimum wage and now i have some cover. this is so easy to compromise. this would have been such a lay-up to compromise, they had done 3 rescue bills and they got the majority of votes in the senate. you come in with another rescue bill even though you passed one in december and you say, okay, they had a bunch of so-called moderate, the republican senators go visit joe biden at the white house. they said, listen, i got 680 billion, i could get on board with that. he's at 1.9 trillion. you go ahead and streamline some of those things. the republicans come up a little and he comes down a little and all of a sudden tensions start ratcheting up and the problem is it doesn't address the pandemic.

it's in your face to people that say -- this is a rescue bill, it's an emergency. why do you need a bridge in new york and why do you need a tunnel in san francisco and why do you need money of adjustments for native americans in the country. that doesn't belong in this and now they are going to come back right after that and they are going to say we need an infrastructure bill, well, didn't we give you infrastructure. can you keep things in categories. this is money in a credit card. it's not matter of being benevolent and putting money on another generation you haven't met yet. steve: the senate says it's not going to happen and nancy pelosi will pass it out of the house so every democratic member can say, look, i passed this and the senate screwed up. what apparently is happening behind the scenes is there's so much progressive liberal pressure on mr. schumer, the majority leader, sounds like they are saying, you have to get rid of the filibuster or we will have to come back with a plan b

and the plan b, bernie sanders is suggesting that they could rewrite it so that what would happen is they would jack up taxes on big corporations that don't pay the minimum wage and so that would be a way to get around it. will that happen, stay tune. brian: by the way there's another compromise. the republicans agreed to 11-dollar minimum wage. can you compromise on that and see how it goes after a year and maybe go back and put it to 15? cosco did it yesterday. everyone thinks it should come up. steve: meanwhile, let's talk about in new york state. the governor andrew cuomo is no more -- in more hot water. the attorney general latisha james is considering request to launch an independent probe of the claims that lindsey boling, one of the former advisers to governor cuomo that he kissed her on the lips and said let's

play strip poker and requested prosecutor, the aq is thinking about it. meanwhile yesterday fox news at the white house press, press secretary jen psaki on whether or not mr. cuomo is still the gold standard as we've heard in the past. watch this. >> andrew cuomo is being accused of sexual harassment by a former staffer. is the white house worried about this becoming a distraction. >> when a person comes forward, they deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. >> will the president talk to him about these accusations from democrats and the new york legislature that cuomo misled the public about deaths in nursing homes. >> this is a meeting and a conversation of range of governors about how we can all work together to address the pandemic and get relief to the american people. >> there are democrats in new

york who want congressional hearings about these deaths. >> it's really up to congress to determine how they want to review or have hearings on those reports. >> does president biden still think andrew cuomo is the gold standard for covid leadership? >> i think to be fair, let's put all of the comments in context which sometimes is a missing from these conversations we have in here during interviews. steve: a little distant. ainsley: i'm glad that peter is asking the tough questions because we are curious to know what the biden administration, their response is, good for jen psaki to say that everyone needs to be treated with dignity and respect. i know that ag is thinking about the independent investigation. there's a group called the sexual harassment working group. 7 former new york legislative staffers are on this. they're calling also for an immediate independent investigation, but the governor -- governor cuomo is being accused by a lot of different people for bullying, ron kim,

journalist that says he threatened his career if he was going to run a story and then there's also obviously covering up the numbers from the nursing home scandal. so he is in hot water. brian: we will see if anybody else will cover. to me if history is any guide, this is going to grow. and this is going to grow and it's going to be impossible for him to avoid. a simple denial is not going to cut it especially when many people pushed the me too movement on the left. kirsten gillibrand who took out al franken herself is quiet. among the people that realized that this is virtually criminal is nicholas, new york columnist

from "the new york times" and he's as direct as anybody else putting the blame where it amongs, mostly democratic state and politicians and school unions and he chronicles and lists all the damage being done by kids as they shut down schools. important to note that yesterday 62,000 kids went back to school in new york, but there's high school kids still at home. many democrats seem to become more suspicious of in-person schooling last summer when president trump called for it. the blunt fact is it is democrats including those who run the -- from the west coast, from california to oregon and washington state who presided one of the most blows of education of disadvantaged americans in history. they point out that private schools are going back. they point out how little danger teachers are in as opposed to when they go to super markets and how much damage it has done to an entire generation.

kids in poor communities are turning off the zoom and not showing up and they are not accountable and it's gone on for a year. steve: so essentially nicholas said we had fought all along that there are some schools that are not hoping a-- opening across the country because they did not like donald trump and now joe biden is in charge and it's hard to reopen the schools in those largely-democratic strongholds. ultimately, what i think is going on here, is when you look at the science and they also had -- he had this interesting observation. the san francisco federal reserve estimates that this destructions to the education during the pandemic could increase the number of high school dropouts over 10 years by 4% which will shrink the incomes of americans for 70 years until the last of today's students leave the workforce because he made such a strong case about getting the kids back to school. i think "the new york times" is trying to push some of these

stubborn schools that will not open to get on board with joe biden to try to reopen the schools within 100 days. i think this is a blatant attempt to say, hey, look, the science is on the side of opening the schools, folks, open the schools and this is from "the new york times". ainsley: yeah, well good. i hope it does start the conversation among the people who -- who are closing the schools and continuing to keep them close. he also cited, the science, and you allude today this, cdc, british medical journal and studies have shown in-person schooling doesn't impose risk to students or teachers. he also talks about worsening the achievement gap between the wealthier children and those from low-income families because the wealthier kids, some of them are now sending kids to private schools because they are open and the internet service at their houses might be up and working but not at the homes that are in poor communities. brian: every line was important. it was researched and it was

true and i believe that if cpac, if you're still writing your speech and you're going to speak at c pac you would include this because this doesn't have a red or blue but seems like all blue states are having issues. i love this, rich kids mostly unaffected while low-income kids don't have internet to attend zoom classes. who are you hurting? ainsley: the kids. steve: they really should read it over at msnbc. maybe then it would make a difference. all right, 17 minutes after the top of the hour. jillian joins us on this friday and you have lots of busy day with the president. jillian: that's right, so today president biden will survey texas storm damage, meet with governor greg abbott and deliver remarks from houston, he will be accompanied by the first lady. his visit after a day after the texas legislature held hearings on state power failures. ceo of

electrical grid deflecting blame. >> i feel a great deal responsibility and remorse. i believe the operators on our team did everything they could have. jillian: governor abbott will also ask the president to add 54 more counties to fema's major disaster list. tiger woods is transferred to another los angeles hospital as he recovers from the horrific crash earlier this week. he will continue orthopedic care and recovery at cedar sinai hospital. woods had to get crews on right leg. people are aware that injuries could put an end to career. he last competed in pnc championship with son charlie in december. conservative icon rush limbaugh is layed to rest in private ceremony. he was buried in st. louis, 40 family members and friends attended the private certainly any. a horse-drawn carriage carried body to final resting place. the 70-year-old passed away after a battle with advanced

cancer. steve: back home in his beloved missouri, thank you. ainsley: thank you so much, jillian. 2 years ago then presidential candidate kamala harris vowed to close migrant facility that is now said to reopen during the biden administration. c pac is underway down in orlando and that's where we find pete hegseth with what we can expect today, hey, pete. pete: good morning, guys, in about two hours we will start with a prayer, the pledge and the national anthem as it should followed by governor desantis from florida saying, welcome c pac, florida we are open for business and "fox & friends" will be covering every angle as well as fox nation who is streaming it live with a preview for you coming up next.

>> we are here to stand up and say that we are not going to allow this to happen, not on our watch. one of the first things is to shut down the private detention facilities. brian: that was back when she wanted to be president and that didn't work out too well and now she's vice president. kamala harris said the detention facilities were human rights abuses being committed by the government but now the biden administration about to reopen many of these facilities including the homestead facility in florida. so what changed? let's ask national republican senatorial committee chairperson and former florida governor rick scott. hey, former governor, now turned senator, do you remember when the former senator now turned vice president said --

>> oh, yeah, by the way my opponent in 2018 did the same thing. he went down and made big to do at the migrant center. what a bunch of hypocrites the democrats are. first off, they are causing this problem, stopping the wall, they are opening up the borders and stopped the stay in mexico policy so now we have have the poor migrant kids being left in the border by their parents and trying to get them to become citizens so the parents can become citizens. by the way, what hypocrites, they won't up classrooms but they brag about in migrant centers they opened up the classrooms. do you think there's social distancing in the places? are they doing the covid tests? i mean, this is -- the biden administration it makes no sense what they are doing and by the way, it's horrible what these the parents are doing for these -- to these kids by dropping them at the border but they are doing it because they want to get to the country. we need to have legal immigration and good policy. i'm from an immigration state, we like legal immigration. let's focus on how to we get people legally but you can't

come here illegally. brien: they will open up the homestead florida facility in april, highest february numbers ever seen in history for unaccompanied illegal immigrant kids in history. it's because the remain in mexico policy is gone, the wall has stopped, 100 day pause on all deportations, what do you want them to do? senator: this makes no sense and then we have the new center from arizona, he votes against doing any border security. when we had the voterama, i proposed money to make sure we finished the wall, make sure we have border security, he votes against it. his own state that's worried about immigration, illegal immigration and so this stuff just doesn't make sense. biden is killing jobs, open borders, won't open up classrooms. he didn't talk about this when he was running. brian: no he didn't. senator: what do we get?

it makes you mad. brian: self-inflicted wound because this is a huge issue that president trump had solved and he opened it up again, among critics democrat, aoc says i think they are lucky that progressives aren't asking for $24. she was critical of the facilities. let's fast-forward to talk about minimum wage. fifteen dollars is not going to happen. it will not be in the latest rescue bill because parliamentarian says you can't get the simple majority and qualify. it's not going to be in there. they will put the house bill which means the senate will vote without it and has to go back again and the whole thing will be delayed, what's your reaction? senator: first off, we shouldn't be changing the minimum wage. we are in a pandemic. look at unemployment rate and look at the number of people that don't have a job and now we will say, we will kill more jobs when we raise the minimum wage. you know what you get paid when you don't have a job, zero. i watched my dad's car get

repossessed twice. it's a zero pay. when they are talk about raising the minimum wage, we don't care about jobs just like the keystone pipeline that killed 10,000 jobs there. the biden administration and the democrats do not care about your jobs. what i did when i was governor we added 1.7 million jobs because we figured out how to grow businesses. they are doing the opposite. and then this package, it's just a payback to liberal democrats. brian: it's a very small portion going to pandemic that's going to be spent this year. most of the year -- we haven't spent the stuff that's in there. over a trillion dollars have not been spent. you have a lot to discuss today. one of the key speakers there. you have a lot of responsibility in your shoulders, you have to get the senate back, you have 20 seats to retain, so what's going to be your theme today? senator: first off, i want to talk about one, the republican civil war has been canceled. we are not going to go backwards. we are not going to fight within ourselves and say what is the

biden administration doing and the democrats are now the socialist party. socialism is their policy. so think about that bad things are going to happen to families across the country because of socialism. look at venezuela, look at china, look at cuba, look at what's going on in the countries. we don't want that. what i'm going to talk about is we are going to win in '22 because we will focus on the issues. we will get americans jobs, opening up schools, school choice, support law enforcement and have strong military, we will have a secure border and do the things that are good for americans, that's what i'm going to talk about today. brian: people will be looking for you because experts say you are one of the candidates for president being looking at your resume and if you could pull this off that could certainly help by flipping the senate back. senator rick scott always good to talk to you. i know that you will have a great speak. another topic at c pac, effects of shul shutdowns and works moms, more on that next. download the super 6 app and all

pressure with how police and prosecutor unions are responding. todd: now being criticized for hiring a public defender who helped putting in position in the administration and, for example, during the george floyd unrest in la, tiffany called the lapd barbarians in a tweet and described them as an occupying army with the #defund the police and she post that prison is obsolete and call for prisons to be abolished. da george is bringing blackmail over from the public defender's office and hiring for deputy da, the second highest grade a prosecutor can achieve. the union representing lapd ranking file is slamming the

decision. it's unconscionable but not surprised that george would appoint someone as top prosecutor who just a few months ago was involved in a secret deal to get her criminal defendant client a sweetheart deal on a murder charge with murders and shootings at a ten-year high, do we really need criminal defense attorneys on beth sides of the aisle. administration responding to fox 11, has the most confidence in team and looking forward to have tiffany blacknell and reported to start next month. steve: thanks for the news out west. ainsley: do you stay home with your children or -- and quit your job? it is a topic at cpac today led by our next guest saying putting kids first will help kids back to work. the communication's director of winning for women, the group posting the event and she joins

us now. good morning to you olivia. >> good morning, thanks for having me. >> i thought that was fascinating reading about your group, first super pack devoted to electing republican women, you were one of the biggest groups that spent the most amount of money in the last election and it was very successful and i know that you're teaming up with important women at c pac to have the discussion. why are you saying it hurts women as well if the schools don't reopen? >> hosting with ronna mcdaniel to talk about the disproportionate impact of covid-19 and school closures have had on working women particularly moms in this country. it'll be kind of an all-star panel with republican women including senator joni ernst all who themselves are working moms and have personal firsthand experience on this matter.

we are excited to talk about it. not just the challenges but also some of the solutions. ainsley: 2.4 million women have quit their jobs because of the pandemic to stay home with their kids. how is that going to affect them when the pandemic is over and they want to go back to work? >> yeah, women have been bearing the economic brunt of school closures in the country. 2.4 million across the country have fled the workforce and led the workforce since the start of the pandemic. 1 million are working moms. this past january alone, 275,000 women left the workforce and that's just in one month and i would note that many of these women are women of color. these are black women, latino women, women across this country who are really bearing the brunt of this problem. it's important that, you know, we kind of get back on track, we made significant gains over the last several years. the number of women in the workforce, unique contribution that is women were making in the workforce and we have been doing

the progress and we have to get back on track and get women back to work. ainsley: it's prochild and prowomen. how is this going to affect the women? would we recover from this? >> i certainly hope so. experts say it will take till 2024 to fully recover. that's a long time. we have a lot of work to do in the meantime and i will also just note that women aren't just being impacted here, children in this country are -- are really the priority here. we need to reprioritize them, reprioritize education, access to a quality education to which all children have a right to. we have seen the tendency of suicide behavior go up 25% since the start of this pandemic. we've seen the opportunity gap in this country grow among children. i mean, what happens to those kids who don't -- who can't go to a private school, who don't have access to a laptop or wi-fi or whose parents can stay home and teach them all day, teaching

the materials that they need. it's really putting a strain on our kids. we've got to follow the science here. the science says it's safe to go back to school. that's what we should do and that's what we need to do. ainsley: olivia thank you so much, if folks at home f you want to register for this event, it's happening today at cpac 10:30 to 11:30. you can zoom with this event, at winning for women in facebook, instagram or twitter. thank you, olivia, thank you for what you're doing for women and for children. we will check with pete hegseth live in orlando. hey, pete. and it's the case of mashed messaging. causing confusion over plans to have mr. potato go gender neutral. ♪ ♪

♪

steve: you're looking live inside one of the big rooms in the hyatt regency in orlando, florida. pete hegseth joins from our location. while you were talking we are looking at merchandise and

ordering on smartphones. pete: as you can, guys. sometimes you're on location but you're not really on location, you're overlooking the location. this time with c pac with fox nation, we are 16 feet from the regency ballroom where it's all going to happen in about 2 hours. we see people streaming in as they kick it off with prayer, prayer and national anthem at 8:40 eastern time and governor desantis takes the stage and says welcome to florida, we are open for business and that is why you are here. by the way, you see right there on your television screen, fox nation is screaming all of cpac this morning and you will not want to miss it. a lot of people that you recognize from the fox news lawrence jones, murdoch talking, jason chaffetz and dan bongino and one of the things in addition to election integrity,

the bill of rights, the fifth, amendment, tenth amendment and senator mike lee is coming on stage to kick it off after ron desantis to say why the left hates the bill of rights and why we love it. so on going throughout this entire time, guys, here at cpac is a straw poll. i've already inputted my answers to the straw poll which interestingly enough on the final day on sunday, the results and a lot has to do with 2024, the results will be revealed 20 minutes before the former president of the united states donald trump takes the stage. a lot of anticipation for what that straw poll will say about who this crowd would want to be the nominee in 2024 and all of it will be playing out live on foxnation.com, if you don't have it, subscribe and get it now and we will be covering later as well. ainsley: how can i watch, i want to watch fox news and fox nation. maybe i will turn one on in one room -- >> steve: you can watch from the

blizzard conditions. so that's your forecast today. back to you, steve, ainsley and brian. happy friday. steve: right. last friday of february. thanks, jd. all right, straight ahead. it's the case of mashed messaging, the toy company caused confusion over their plans to have mr. potato head go gender neutral. the debate is next. brian: first he would need a body. ♪ ♪ ♪

>> only way to contend the pandemic is passing a plan as quickly as possible. griff: what comes as a surprise speaker pelosi ignoring the parliamentarian saying house democrats believe minimum wage hike is necessary and therefore the revision will remain in the american rescue plan on the floor tomorrow. also in the bill today, 1,400-dollar stimulus checks, 400-dollar weekly unemployment benefits and 350 bill for state and local governments and 100 for rapid transit expansion. pelosi's decision complicating matters forcing the senate now to strip the minimum wage provision and pass something and then send that back to the white house and remember they're on deadline because of unemployment benefits expire march 12009. now the question really is what is acceptable to house progressives, our own chad tweeting congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez is having said, quote, they are lucky that progressives aren't

asking for 24 right now or 25 an hour for minimum wage right now. so i think we just kind of got to cut the bs and really push for 15. well, it looks like it's all going to come down to math because ultimately when the bill goes back to the house, pelosi can only lose 5 democrats. so hypothetically if enough progressives rebolted and opposed the overall bill, president biden will be handed first major legislative loss. steve: looks like could be heading that way. thank you very much, griff. so as griff depicted right there, there are super progressives and liberals who are pushing for chuck schumer to take nancy pelosi's $1.9 trillion bill and just say you know what, we are going to charge the parliamentarian and overrule them but going back to his point with the math, the democrats do not have the right number because joe manchin has

said i'm not going to overrule the parliamentarian and i'm not for the 15-dollar minimum wage. ainsley: kristin sinema too. speaking of math, the rush to exploit real needs to dump billions on democrat needs, it goes onto talk about how, you know, we all want to get out from underneath the pandemic, but when you take a look at the actual numbers in this $1.9 trillion bill, the cbo says only about 1% would actually help with vaccine distribution and half of the people who would get checks don't actually need it because they have not been impacted, ainsley, by the pandemic. ainsley: they just shoved a bunch of stuff in there, pork, so that they could get whatever they wanted in there because they knew everyone was going to vote for the recovery. congressman byron donald he made an excellent point and he talks

about the numbers. it's not even 10% that will go to covid relief. listen to that. >> only 9% of the bill only goes to coronavirus vaccines and only goes to helping us get over the pandemic. that's the biggest problem. the democrats have not changed their ideology or their agenda when it comes to this bill. they've not looked at the actual science, we are starting to see case numbers that come down, we are seeing deaths start to come down, that's only going to matriculate as more vaccines get out the door into the arms of people. there's money for bridges and from buffalo to canada, there's money for underground railroads and silicon valley, silicon valley has so much money, they should be able to do this themselves but it's in the spending bill, -- it's outrageous. brian: it's an emergency, okay, is that why you haven't been talking about the cases dropping 70%, hospitalizations 50,000

nationwide. is that why we are not talking about the pickup in vaccination that is allows people to get back to work, back to their jobs and is that why you are not green-lighting people to go back to their lives because how can you ask for 1.9 trillion which we don't have if things are getting better and that's what bothers me when politics get into real life, when it comes to 15-dollar money male wage, florida passed it. no one told cosco to do it. target did the same thing. they went to $16. let businesses decide and get this, the word compromise could actually be here. tom cotton, mitt romney offered $11, so they are at $15. now you have nothing. couldn't you have cut a deal and get this, you might have been able to get the 60 votes and get this bill passed with 60 votes if you showed a little bit of give. they were at 680 billion, you were at 1.9 trillion. you wanted the minimum wage, that's the way things used to

get done. the people that are hurting most, the people that democrats say they want to help the most, poor, the rural, those people who are forced to go to public schools in many cases, the ones that aren't are catholic schools, the ones that aren't, private schools because they were forced, they don't get paid if they don't work, they were forced to open up the schools, guess what, it's going great. there's no excuse for it. that did not slip the mind of nicholas kristof, liberalist columnist in the new york times, among the excerpts when he talks about school closures and the american children without a vote in this process are paying the price, this is the one that we want today share with you. many democrats seem to be coming more suspicious of in-person schooling last summer when president trump called for it. we shouldn't let ourselves be driven by ideology. how about science? the blunt fact is that democrats including those who run the west coast from california to oregon to washington state who have

presided over the worst blows to education of disadvantaged americans in history. many don't have internet, some are not turning it on. parents can't work and they just now put 62,000 kids back in school in new york city but not high school kids. they are still at home. steve: remember some of the images early on in the pandemic. i think it was outside either an in and out burger or taco bell out in the west coast where the two little girls are sitting on the curb outside the restaurant trying to use their wi-fi simply to do their work because at their house they did not have any. obviously this is one of those things. nicholas kristof is telling you something that we have known for a while. the reason a lot of the schools in the democratic strong holds were not open last year was because they hated donald trump and they were so dug in and are still so dug in, it's hard for them to go ahead and say, okay, you know what, things have

changed even though we know the science has changed, now we should open. this administration is having trouble reopening schools in a lot of the democratic strongholds and that's one to have reasons i think that nicholas kristof on behalf of "the new york times" is trying to help, let's make this happen, i think this is a manifestation of that in "the new york times". one -- i think this is a great quote. the educational lawsuits he writes, the educational losses are fault of democrat governors and mayors the which too often let schools stay close even as bars open, ainsley. ainsley: the point, we are all trying to wrap our heads why wouldn't the unions want the schools to be open. i don't understand. steve: to punish trump in the beginning. ainsley: they are so dug into your point that they can reverse it. brian: they are choosing not to.

ainsley: cdc british medical journal show that in-person school doesn't pose risk to students or teachers. if you're a parent and you can't afford the internet or you have to go to work and lever kids at home, do you trust them to be sitting there in their classroom on zoom the entire time. kids are not learning anything. he says this is going to be permanent damage and increase in dropout rate to nearly 4%. he said the achievement gap between children from wealthier families and those with low-income families is going to be huge. teachers -- he writes, teachers who oppose returning to the classroom after all teachers and students are vaccinated are guilty of an advocation of responsibility to america's children. brian: you want to solve the problem, get on the board to change things. rachel is mother of two, running for the school district board since the efforts of reopening schools has been politicized. let's listen. >> it's a shame that national politics have come to play in

what is really a local -- locally, we are the ones who are making the decisions about what our kids are or are not going to do from an education standpoint, you know. national politicians can say all they want but at the ended of the day it's up to our community and our school board and our school administration to get the kids back in school. brian: yeah, there's no reason for it. people have to stand up for it and also brought up that even catholic schools, parochial stools with limited resources, they are reopened and they are going. just because one of the earmarks, the check marks on the things like ventilation or something else is not there, is no reason not to open up the schools. you can go around it, you can work through it. i mean, one of the things i did is they covered to do that sports getting back in play, i walked in and the whole gym is full of desks. the kids are in school. ainsley: give the parents a choice.

if you don't feel safe to send your kids back to school, do the zoom. reopen and give parents the choice. steve: nicholas kristof points out that in rhode island run by democratic governor they pushed for schools to reopen and he writes the kids are better off because she did. so in other words, follow the leader, the leader in rhode island. all right, 7:13 on busy friday morning and jillian joins us with a strike from the biden administration. jillian: that's right. so let's start with fox news alert. at least 17 people are killed in a u.s.-military strike in syria. that's according to a reuters report. the u.s. military hitting iranian backed forces in syria, marks first military action of the biden presidency intend today deter iran and follows rocket attack on u.s.-led military base in iraq earlier this month. that killed a civilian contractor and wounded a u.s. service member. we will keep you updated with any new developments. in the meantime, have you heard

it for it because nancy pelosi is saying we don't really need to investigate that at this point. it's interesting, though, when you look at the cuomo scandal which we have been telling you about for a while, cnn for the most part has been missing in action regarding the latest allegations, but when you look at the way the network is framing what is happening now, you know, back in 2018 with the way network described the accusations against mr. kavanaugh, it's quite different and stunning. so back in the day in 2018 upper-left hand portion of screen woman accuses kavanaugh of assault but yesterday cuomo denies former aide sexual harassment allegations. so in other words, what you see is yesterday they led with the denial from the governor, it never happened whereas earlier

with kavanaugh they led with the accuser which is a 180, ainsley, with the way they framed it before. ainsley: if you are an r or a d behind your name should not matter when it comes to sexual harassment. there needs to be an investigation, maybe he is innocent. you're innocent until proven guilty. there just needs to be an investigation and someone needs to look into this because we want to stop this in our country and in order to do that, you have to know that you're going to be held accountable. here is a flashback of how so many democrats that aren't speaking out about this right now spoke out against kavanaugh. >> i believe her to testify in the united states senate against someone who is being nominated to one of the most powerful positions in the united states government, that takes an extraordinary amount of courage. >> i found her very credible. you have to ask yourself why would anybody put themselves through this if they did not believe that they had important information.

the people said about brett kavanaugh. that has to be applied to governor cuomo. they have to ask the tough questions and interview these women and listen to these women and there are multiple women who appear to be credible who want to come out, want to testify about it so, you know, everyone needs to listen to it. there's so much sexual violence in our country now and that's how it all start with people in power. did he do anything, we don't know but you have to hear all sides of it, you have to? steve: as a former state attorney general as you are, the current attorney general for new york state latisha james is considering a request from 5 republican women who are state senators to open a special prosecution, bring a special prosecutor based on the claims of lindsey boiling that the governor kissed her on the lips and said, hey, let's play strip

poker. if you were the attorney general and you have this request from 5 state senators, what do you do? >> well, you look at it. you review it and you do open an investigation and if he's innocent he will be exonerated and be cleared and if he's not, then justice will be served either way. but that's your obligation and duty and i'm sure she's going to do that. you have to look at it especially as a female attorney general, you will recognize that as well. ainsley: pam, what are you going to be talking about at c pac today? >> i'm excited to be here. by the way, florida is open for business. it's beautiful and sunny, that's why tourism commercial. steve: stop rubbing it in. >> yeah, you know. you guys need to come down here but our businesses are back, our schools are back and we will be talking about the bill of rights and talking with senator mike lee and senator james lankford and we will be talking about freedom of speech and freedom of religion and i would be addressing freedom of assembly which is why we are able to be

of white resistance and resentment made the prospect of actually proposing any kind of coherent meaningful reparation's program, not only a non-starter but potentially counterproductive. brian: and that was on his podcast. ic it was with -- i think it was with bruce springsteen. larry elder testified on topic, he joined us to discuss. larry, do you agree with president obama when he was president and do you believe in the former president when he speaks now on reparations? >> well, reparations, brian, extraction of people who were never slaved owners who be given to people that were never slaves. 4 years obama said that, he said it would be impractical, divisive and what about the people who felt they never had anything to do with slave. fast-forward he tells bruce

springsteen that reparations are justified to slaves themselves or owners. the japanese were put in relocation camps, the reparations were paid to victims themselves or to their legal owners. slavery ended over a century and a half ago. good luck finding slaves right now and their legal owners. it is absolutely ridiculous. other thing is this, i find obama to be a particularly bizarre vessel to carry the message. this is a biracial man whose dad is from kenya, mom is from kansas, her family owned slaves, brian, does obama cut a check or does he get a check. kamala harris her father is jamaica and admitted they owned slaves, her mother from india, does kamala harris cut a check or get a check. it is absolutely ridiculous. there are no slave owners right now. there are no slaves and the idea of trying to figure out who gets what, where and how is just so divisive, the reason obama has come out now and sort of said he's in favor of reparations in

my opinion he wants to remain relevant. the squad left him behind and he's perceived to be moderate and if he's going to become germane, relevant and not get primaried in his retirement. he has to step up and grab the divisive issues that four years ago that he thought they were pretty dumb and they were then and they are now. brian: it's not going away. they are analyzing what we will do with our court system. they're also analyzing to write check for reparations 200 years later. so that's where we are at. so larry, let's move onto talk about something else in the front page of "the new york times" the other day. >> can i just add one more thing? one more thing? obama said that the reason he didn't propose it is because he felt he would be met with white resistance. how racist if i'm that if i oppose reparations on moral or legal grounds i'm engaging in white resistance and bruce springsteen was not self-aware enough to be insulted by that

just shar la main when joe biden said if you ain't voting for me you're not black. brian: a student at the elite smith college accused the cafeteria employee jackie blare and another one, a janitor of being racist who by the way is -- the student is black, was seen dining on the campus and she says she's been accused of eating while black. so she took legal action against the school. >> right, and the school did an investigation and paid a bunch of money and exonerated the money accused of being racist and the president apologized to her privately. this is nothing more than a series of fake racial incidents that we have seen over and over again. as real racism declines it's necessary to extract new sources, you have people like

jussie smollett making things up because america, racism receded and the left, the media, democrats need to keep pushing this narrative for votes, media for ratings and so they need these kind of incidents and shows you there's zero tolerance for racism against white people. the media goes ballistic when there's allegations. a few days ago, brian, a man was in his backyard, shot and killed by a police officer looking for somebody running on foot, it was a white officer, white man in idaho, nobody cared. if that would have been a black suspect, we would know the person's name, the cop's name brian: unbelievable. that's where we are at in the country. thank you very much for spelling it out for us. >> my pleasure, thank you for having me. brian: have a great weekend and great show today. this iconic mr. potato head

ainsley: it is going to help them with sales, will. this is a toy that we don't have in our house. my daughter can't grow without mr. potato head. i have to buy it. >> will it help them with sales, pete brought that up, does it ultimately help them with the bottom line. i think corporations are to be so incredibly weak over the last several years and i picked those words specifically. moronic, let's talk about sales. lgbtq included were decline to go buy a mr. potato head because they thought it was not gender inclusive? how much will it now expand sales if they drop the mr. or mrs. designation which i know they've now backtracked on which makes me to their weakness. every corporation for some reason is so responsive to the smallest protest, the -- the newest trend, whatever someone says the loudest, every corporation bends to, not in service, bottom line, ainsley.

i don't know how this helps their bottom line whatsoever and they prove to be so weak to every current fashion trend when it comes to views. brian: i think it's pretty amazing, pete, they will go after sponsors. go after certain sponsors on our show and then these corporations just cave in right away. what are they so afraid of? who is the first one to stand up and say, i'm going to do what i want to do, i will trust the consumer? pete: watch our patriots award. they had overwhelming response. they'll be response to this when companies start to realize -- the problem is i don't know if that's going to happen to will's point. but they're so attuned to the twitter crowd, elite crowd that pokes at them and get two or

three tweets and it's a real problem for them. listen to real consumers, you get a very different to will's point very different response. >> it will be interesting to see whether or not disney runs a disclaimer or a warning at the beginning of toy story now going forward because -- [laughter] steve: but then again so is buzz lightyear. well, tell us what is happening on "fox & friends" this weekend? will: first of all, i think your points are not hyperbole. you can keep drawing -- ainsley: mr. peanut. will: lawrence jones, morgan ortegas. big show. ainsley: thanks, guys. bryan: stephen miller wouldn't look ahead. ainsley: let's hand it over to jillian. jillian: am i all right?

the house passes the equality act with help of 3 republicans that voted in favor of the bill. congressman tom reed, john kakko and fitzpatrick crossing the aisle, ban discrimination on sexual orientation and gender identity. the bill now heads to the senate. mobster peter gotti has died in north carolina prison while serving more than 17 years for racketeering and other charges. the bronx native was the gambino crime boss and successor to his brother john gatti. he died of natural causes. parents in san diego outraged over the comments made at a school board meeting calling them irrelevant and unprofessional. she's now facing calls to resign. today nasa will name its washington headquarters after

its first african-american female engineer. mary w jackson's work in the computing unit caught national attention in the book and popular book hidden figures. received the congressional gold medal. send it back to you. steve: great movie, great movie. brian: appreciate it. still ahead governor cuomo faces allegations of sexual misconduct but just a few years ago he signed some of the strongest workplace harassment laws in the country. emily compano went to law school.

ainsley: new york's governor andrew cuomo accused of hypocrisy as he denies allegations of sexual harassment and here -- here is how described republicans for supporting then judge kavanaugh back in 2018. >> they did absolutely nothing when it came to sexual harassment. they have always diminished the charges of women. you don't understand the pain, you don't understand how the system tortures a person who

wants to come forward. so let's find out the facts. ainsley: now as both sides push for facts in this case, could governor cuomo be found guilty of violating his own law against workplace harassment? outnumbered cohost emily compano also an attorney and joins us now. >> good morning, ainsley. thanks for having me today. ainsley: congratulations on getting the position in outnumbered. we want today bring you about your reaction in this case and where it's going to go. >> just to draw the distinctions the law that is cuomo were passed, he passed after lindsey boiling had said so and new york has the strictest laws after cuomo passed new set that made it more strict. as we know swum is unwelcome, offensive conduct in the workplace that is so severe or

pervasive the law says that it results in offensive or hostile workplace and note that even the standard again was pretty low and that it includes sexually offensive remarks or unwanting touching both of which lindsey boiling accuse the governor of engaging during the time with him. ainsley: i read the article that she wrote and she talked about getting on a government-funded jet. they were sitting close to each other, facing each other, their knees were almost touching and that's when she says, he asked, we should play strip poker and then she goes onto say, i tried to excuse his behavior. i told himself it's only words but that changed after a one-on-one briefing with the governor as i got to lever he stepped in front of me and kissed me on the lips. when you're accusing someone of this, how do you prove it? >> in her letter in the article she wrote for the medium she outlined what i saw was a pattern of behavior and a lot of that she providing corroborating

evidence at the time and receipts in the form of screen shots of e-mails and texts and she cited people that were there as well n. that particular instance you mentioned on the plane there was an aide sitting near them she alleges and also a law enforcement officer. the kiss on the lips she thought the director of the governor's office might have seen it and, for example, even unwelcome behavior, offensive conduct includes sending valentine's day roses to female employees. those are things that can be proved looking back in time of receipts, et cetera. i want to point out that she mentions two additional staffers that came forward with her at the time that they lived in, quote, constant fear by him, a state of pervasive constant fear. that goes toward, again, the standard of hostile offensive workplace that has to be pervasive to rise to that and at least on its face which at least warrants an investigation and from my eyes, i see it going

making it past the threshold of motion to dismiss in court. ainsley: okay, emily, thank you very much, we will be watching you at noon. >> thank you. ainsley: day two of c pac start in just minutes, live from the open state of florida. governor ron desantis will be one of today's speakers but first he will join us live. i'm jayson tatum check out my subway sub with delicious turkey and crispy bacon. it will help you hit shots from anywhere, unlike those other subs. my sub has steak. wait, what did he say? steak! choose better be better and now save when you order in the app. .. before they became problems. if only it could identify where my ball went.

this you? hmm... no, mine had green lights. whatever your business is facing. let's workflow it. maybe i should workflow my swing... servicenow.

if your dry eye symptoms keep coming back, inflammation in your eye might be to blame. looks like a great day for achy, burning eyes

over-the-counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. ha! these drops probably won't touch me. xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. what is that? xiidra, noooo! it can provide lasting relief. xiidra is the only fda approved treatment specifically for the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. one drop in each eye, twice a day. don't use if you're allergic to xiidra. common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort or blurred vision when applied to the eye, and unusual taste sensation. don't touch container tip to your eye or any surface. after using xiidra, wait 15 minutes before reinserting contacts. got any room in your eye? talk to an eye doctor about twice-daily xiidra. i prefer you didn't! xiidra. not today, dry eye. >> a couple hours the house

will vote on that $1.9 trillion relief bill. >> we are going to kill more jobs by raising the minimum wage. how much do you get paid when you don't have a job? 0. >> an airstrike on an iranian backed militia stronghold in syria last night. >> the attack is measured. i think this is a good call. >> growing backlash against governor andrew cuomo, they hope to interview these women, listen to these women. >> confusion about mister potato head. >> i think corporations will i be so incredibly moronic. >> conservatives awaiting donald trump's the. >> from a leader focused on the american people.

steve: we did ask after hearing florida georgia line, what song would you jump in with? we had people flooded with requests and looks like one has been satisfied. steve: look at the highest stage, the song that you requested was weekend and our viewer by the name of john asked us to play that. we are starting the weekend with willy. the bar is not playing it. this is actually the group. it was reported as the bottom line in new york but do you know where the group came from? you might. ainsley: south carolina? north carolina?

brian: try to book them for concert series. ainsley: i was born in the wrong era. that music was awesome. brian: i worked at a disco in lawrence, kansas. ainsley: that was fun. pete hegseth is in orlando. you know that song. >> reporter: there is only one wet willy i am familiar with. i never heard that song. brian: we have to wait 30 days now. you have a knockoff version. there has to be a re/max or brian mixing on it would be beautiful. in 30 minutes you will have ron desantis previewing what he will be saying 30 minutes later

and 30 feet from me he introduces cpac, in the open state of florida a great slate of speakers we are covering all morning long, fox nation, you can get a 30 day free trial to stream cpac, then you can watch cpac as the best speakers in america take the stage conservatives talking about the future of conservatism and america. we will be hosting the weekend show right here in this seat all weekend long. brian: they didn't want to open up, didn't want to take the risk so florida said come on down, sounds good with them and good news for you. >> reporter: i am wearing flip-flops. i am not joking. big day.

ainsley: donald trump is going to be on that stage, we will watch that live. this is the first time -- >> reporter: interesting to see what happens, what happens before his speech. steve: i really enjoyed it. we have been waiting for our next guest lined up the satellite. let's bring in geraldo rivera. he does everything for everybody. i guess is below -- >> i can't get the image of steve at the disco in lawrence, kansas out of my mind, wearing flat bottom shoes and rocking out. brian: i'm sure we have pictures of you. a leisure suits was in for a while.

brian: is that what those were made of? >> i don't know. brian: he was hanging out with john lennon. now you're stuck with us. let's talk about the latest rescue package. brian: talking to ainsley and steve as well. they are not going to have a $15 minimum wage 25 to $15. you can't have reconciliation which is a simple the board already vote and keep minimum wage in. it will delay the whole thing. the rescue package is tone deaf, $1.9 trillion, small portion goes to pandemic relief.

>> that is the issue loaded in knowing that the bill was a slamdunk and republicans have no way of stopping it. the $15 an hour minimum wage, that i approve of, i love what is happening at costco where they are announcing $16 an hour minimum wage to all of their employees. a way to get people out of poverty is to raise the minimum wage. i am dismayed by some of the giant items that have to do with bailing out from their own city. free money is always good.

1400 on top of that. i have no real problems with it. steve: joe biden wanted to unite both parties and he starting with a big thing that is not one republican is going to vote for it but it does. because your lifelong new yorker, want to talk about the scandal regarding governor cuomo, nursing home deaths and now there have been allegations from lizzie boylein. they were missing in action for a good period of time. how they covered cavanagh, woman accuses brett kavanaugh of assault right there. they focus on the brett kavanaugh accuser and cuomo

denies former rate's sexual harassment where they lead with cuomo's denial. >> democrats generally are great accusers but not very graceful as the accused. cuomo's words now are being used against him. everything he said in favor of various accusers, brett kavanaugh, he let them go, he fired all cannons blasting and on the receiving end of it, denials, why don't you believe me, i believe in progressive politics, and and his ambition was to be a 4 term governor,

his dad, mario cuomo, did 3 terms before he was defeated by george pataki, it looks as if andrew will not best his dad, it seems the end, in the biden administration, these accusations ring through this accuser, reputable person who has corroboration, real context, talks with her therapist and husband and so forth. it seems he was out of line with a married woman on the job, what his social status was. it seems difficult for andrew cuomo to dig his way out of this other than mea culpaing.

brian: no one is reporting it, 49% approval rating, he will be fine unless people start really covering it. >> he will be fine until he runs for reelection. when you put the pedal to the metal we will see what happens. ainsley: talk about the border and immigration. the homestead facility, remember when kamala harris said she would shut this down, this was june of 2019. >> here to stand up and say we are not going to allow this to happen on our watch. we sit down private detention facilities. ainsley: under donald trump it was wrong but under joe biden they are offering the same facilities. >> i warned the incoming democrats that immigration was

one of those issues that it is easy to be a critic but very hard to deliver an equitable solution because it is a damn complicated problem and kindness is also cruelty because when you have kind words like joe biden offered to central america and mexico about the end to the draconian trump policies, stopping of the border wall construction, ending the ban on asylum and travel ban and so forth. when you are kind, the message goes out to these desperate people the green light is on, come on, take your shot and it has had tragic results. there are ways to fix it. i would have those children not in cages. why not put them with foster families in the united states where they could be cared for. keep track of them.

brian: we have american foster kids who need homes. >> there are plenty. i bet you millions of americans would take these children. brian: you just said kindness sends the wrong message. >> you got to get tough with your language and be realistic. brian: let me hit you with another -- a number. 13,000, 13,000 unaccompanied children by may, february was an all-time record of unaccompanied children. on the vitriol donald trump got for setting up facilities to hold them, kids in cages, now they are reopening them including homestead, florida and this humanitarian thing where you turn them around and bring them back, they have to stay in 72 hours. it is a crazy impossible situation.

the joe biden caused himself. >> he did but i am saying kindness and cruelty are often related in complex issues like immigration. we have to rethink it. that is why my foster care idea should get some consideration. it is compassionate, personal, you don't need a big bureaucracy, parents will keep track. brian: we have 13,000 foster parents ready to go. >> i believe so. if you were to ask, they get a stipend. brian: would it stop the flow? >> tell kids they can now have american parents. every child will be in our country. how much money do we have. >> you've got to do several things. restarting construction on the border wall is a good signal.

if biden has the guts to do it that is a very strong message to the coyotes and others that we are not just going to lay back and allow ourselves to be victimized by people who are gaming the system. we have the family of juan and maria, during the worst of the pandemic. they clean the toilets, they man so much american infrastructure to deem essential workers. why not have enormously increased temp or every visas when workers come when needed and go home the way we used to do it. we can be practical about the border but just saying as biden has said, president biden said this is the time for kindness.

kindness has consequences and that is what democrats have to learn. steve: let's see if the administration and republicans can get together and do something. geraldo rivera has gone south to florida. thank you for joining us. >> wish you were here. ainsley: i love florida. steve: i think he was talking about all of us. jillian joins us with headlines and we travel to florida to texas. steve:. jillian: he will be accompanied by the first lady, his visit coming a day after the texas legislature held hearings on the state's power failures. the ceo of the state electrical grid passing blame. >> i feel a great deal of response ability and remorse.

they did everything they could. >> reporter: governor abbott will ask the president to at 54 more counties to fema's major disaster relief. the us sees 15,000 kim jong un for death in a week for the first time this year. covid-19 hospitalizations dropping by 72%, its lowest point since november. when 50 billion americans were vaccinated, halfway to the goal of in his first 100 days of office. he recovers from that horrific car crash earlier this week. he will continue orthopedic care and recovery at peter sinai hospital. woods is aware hicks injuries good but a end of his golf career. he last competed with his son charlie in september. conservative radio icon rush limbaugh israel laid to rest in a private cemetery in st. louis. sources an estimated 40 family

members and friends attended the private ceremony. a horse drawn carriage carried his body to its final resting place. the 7-year-old passed away after a battle with advanced lung cancer. steve: president biden ordering his first airstrike located in syria. general jackie ways in and we are live at cpac, governor rhonda santos joins us live next. ♪♪ i mean it... uh-oh, sorry... oh... what? i'm an emu! no, buddy! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty. ♪

it's moving day. and while her friends are doing the heavy lifting, jess is busy moving her xfinity internet and tv services. it only takes about a minute. wait, a minute? but what have you been doing for the last two hours?

delegating? oh, good one. move your xfinity services without breaking a sweat. now that's simple, easy, awesome. xfinity makes moving easy. go online to transfer your services in about a minute. get started today. >> we are confident, we know

what we did and the target is being used to conduct the strikes. >> us forces, at the secretary of defense targeting facilities with iranian backed militias in response to recent rocket attacks against american personnel marking the first the military strike carried out by the biden administration. that was secretary of defense lloyd austin. here's senior strategic analyst general jack keane. looks like 17 dead, hit 7 targets. what do you think about this operation last night? >> i think this is a good call. it is measured in terms of the scale of the attack but it also is sufficient enough to send a

message to the iranian's that the new administration, new president, new secretary of defense that they are unequivocally going to protect us forces deployed around the world. that is a message to iranian said adversaries. i believe attacking iranian backed militia was the right call, the location, the audience may remember why we are attacking iranian backed militia that attacked us in iraq and why we are attacking in syria as well. here's the reason. we don't want to undermine the government of iraq. the prime minister has been strong in push back on the iranian backed militia. the first iraqi president to do so with that kind of vigilance. we don't want to we can him because the iraqi people could

arouse this, you anything for us inside the country, political opponents would make hey about it. when you attack inside iraq given the density of it, given the proximity to iran it invites further escalation from the iranian's. i believe overall a good call. brian: john kerry in iran out there saying essentially stay calm, that is a new policy. the more we think about this, general mike flynn got in, having perfectly justifiable conversation about sanctions when it comes to the un. where is the outrage now and how do you compare the two? >> it pales by comparison. what john kerry and previous

obama administration officials have done was definitely undermining us stated policy by the united states government. it is one thing to have the opposition party speak with all of the deliberateness they want about us foreign policy and criticize it and i believe the american people have a right to hear that but to go to our enemy, this is our enemy. they have been killing us americans for 40 years more than any other nationstate in the world, the iranian's have done that to america, that is our enemy and we are there undermining stated us policy, inviting them to wait out the trump administration so, quote, more friendly administration would come in favorable to the iranian.

that is appalling, it is reckless and significantly irresponsible. clearly what they did to him was outrageous, justifiable compensation with the russian ambassador. if he didn't that would be irresponsible on his part and exploding that to the media and investigation by special counsel mueller after the fbi had cleared him was a miscarriage of justice. brian: al qaeda has a new leader, hiding in iran, shia and sunni. sunnis are al qaeda typically. yet they found a way to hide each other. their plans to make the group as dangerous as they were under usama bin laden is his goal. do you take it seriously? >> i do. has never been very aggressive,

doesn't have the charismatic personality bin laden had and he has been sick, it is rumored a number of times that he is dead but no confirmation of it. this egyptian general has been in al qaeda 30 years, responsible for the 1998 bombing of the us embassy in nairobi, kenya, 200 killed in that bombing, supposed to be pretty smart, a bit of a strategist, like most al qaeda people he is ruthless. he is hiding in iran. assad killed number 2 in al qaeda, hiding in iran. this send another message about the iranian's. they have a common enemy and it is the united states and that is why iran is shielding these al qaeda leaders and they also have a deal with al qaeda that

al qaeda is not going to attack them. >> when bin laden let left sudan he stopped in iran with his entire family, moved to afghanistan. we were hunting for them. they are plotting and planning and there's a lot to unwind but we are talking to them. thank you for spelling it out for us. coming up, we are celebrating black history month with the young junior its critical role in the civil rights era. john rhonda santos joins us from orlando.

i suffered with psoriasis for so long. it was kind of a shock after i started cosentyx. i'm still clear, five years now. cosentyx works fast to give you clear skin that can last. real people with psoriasis look and feel better with cosentyx. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting, get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor about an infection or symptoms, if your inflammatory bowel disease symptoms develop or worsen, or if you've had a vaccine or plan to.

i am absolutely sure, they told them this, they had a shot of it and did the work. >> reporter: young's legacy lives on in his daughter, a corporate executive who became an associate dean at princeton. >> he was born in minneapolis with holiday skills as a powerbroker. one of his earliest ideas was book traffic about african-americans in a major department store. and undeniable cross bit was announced. >> if you add more sales tax you could have more customers coming in and they did and this was the kind of strategy throughout his career. >> reporter: the urban league helped many blacks into the corporate world through the program that is not a sound in books. >> came into the jobs bank, were absolutely prepared in

every possible way. and what your table manners were and every thing. you are prepared to walk into a corporation and hold your head up and represent at the highest possible level. >> reporter: the grandfather ran the school funded by white philanthropists, maids and nannies. whitney young senior, to be a college prep program for his children and thousands of others. the family tree of relatives and friends, with corporate executives, academic professors and other high achievers. there is an enhancement program, written a book on how to finish college and young students like opal bennett. >> it really, to expect the best in your reach.

have equal access to education fox news is making a donation of 20,$000 to the united negro college fund. if you want more information go to you in cf.org to find out more or make a donation. on the get a friday, don't know what we are getting a 2, janice dean joins us with the current temperatures. >> janice: especially for our friends across texas, dealing with freezing temperatures, a better forecast on the horizon for millions of folks. temperatures are cold but not arctic cold like we saw the last 7 to 10 days. satellite imagery shows you the frontal boundary draped across the southeast, showers and thunderstorms in the region, several waves of low-pressure will bring potential for

showers and thunderstorms as well as snow in interior sections in new england. there is the forecast precipitation. we are watching increased moisture across the northwest, coastal rain and mountain snow the next several days. showers and thunderstorms for the southeast towards the mid-atlantic, and if we could we have a special thing happening, a new book make your own sunshine. hope it is okay if i promote this for next week. people being kind. that is what i look forward to talking about. steve: preorder it today. the dean household, you can preorder this next week.

>> janice: anywhere where books are sold. >> look forward to bothering you about that next week. ainsley: congress is set to vote on the massive $1.9 trillion complete bill. republicans blasting that bill arguing $350 billion for state and local governments bailing on the blue states. steve: let's bring in governor rhonda santos from the state of florida, where he will take the stage at cpac moments from now. former congressman turned governor, you kept your state open and a lot of people have been pushing back on you. you stand at 54% come you got elected with under 50%. you feel you have been vindicated?

>> the weather forecast in the 50s, 30s and 40s, a with a freedom over 35 under the yoke of lockdown. a lot of opposition particularly for corporate media. they were predicting economic doom. tourism is backed by any stretch, no tax increases, clicking on all cylinders, doing more in the vaccines for senior citizens, i will do more in 30 years. steve: people are applauding, let's go to florida. that is why the streets of new

york, everybody is down there and not up here. the way ainsley set that up, $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package, not related to coronavirus. instead it is in many cases a blue state bailout. in florida with you at the helm how much money is florida going to get? new york will get a boatload. >> unbelievable how they are doing this. the highest unemployment rate, you lockdown, if you destroy drone economy through your own policies you are getting a windfall and states like florida, some people back to work that saved our economy, we end of getting the short end of the stick so it is absolutely calculated to benefit failing blue states and a lot of other nonsense in the bill which i am not surprised at as someone who did serve in the congress but

there is no doubt states like florida who did it right will come up with the short end of the stick. ainsley: donald trump will speak on sunday, first time you heard from him since the inauguration. what do you want him to say? >> i am glad people are coming to an event again. we have been open in florida. cpac with the going to be done in some of the lockdown areas. florida is showing how to lead going forward, we are leading on election integrity, big tech, and excited to hear from the former president, who is an official florida resident for the last few years. steve: a lot of people are florida residents because they want their freedom back.

doesn't mean people are keeping their distance, but to have their own sound livelihoods, that is important. the other thing to keep in mind is you talk on a major problem, explain what you are doing, that want to the platform politicians of any stripe, what do they run into if they find themselves coming up against floridians or you? >> the strongest reforms any state has ever done. at the end of the day we won't be controlled by leftist oligarchs in silicon valley, that is totally an acceptable and so yes, we will provide against election interference, against censorship and the platforming, not just as candidates but floridians of all strikes, and protections

for data privacy which they my relentlessly and make hundreds of millions of -- >> you are going to find them. and that lawsuit under the consumer process. that is pretty good as well. >> border lead the nation in the way you rolled out the coronavirus vaccine. you partnered up with publix which is a grocery store chain throughout the southeastern part of the united states and quite accurately what you have done is said the cdc's says anybody is at risk who is over 65 or has comorbid conditions so you inoculated those people first. you said yesterday very shortly in the next couple weeks you are going to lower the age for people under 65 to start signing up together shots. >> i think so because we

vaccinated millions of seniors in florida and if you look at all the statistics one of the top for senior vaccination so as soon as we start to see the demand sovereign among seniors we have some counties that have 75%, 80% seniors vaccinated and we know not 100% wanted and that is fine we will over the age as soon as that signal comes in strongly. ainsley: what time are you speaking? >> a little after 9:00. steve: round of applause for governor desantis. you are welcome. ainsley: was that -- steve: that was a sound effect. ainsley: thank you so much. coming up next you can win 10,$000, a preview of what you need to know. happy friday.
