kentucky. they say that we love animals that look and that most don't necessarily love. so they nurse him back to health and let them go again. they are not acute when they are big. they get to be 37 inchchchchch pete: we begin this saturday morning edition of "fox & friends" with a fox news alert. while most americans were asleep, house democrats passed their $1.9 trillion covid relief package. >> it heads now to the senate as lawmakers hope to have it on president biden's desk before march 14th. will: lucas tomlinson has more from washington. good morning, lucas. >> reporter: good morning, guys. the package passed at two a.m. not a single republican voted for it. here's house minority leader kevin mccarthy.

>> democrats have sided with their special interest allies and ignored the real need of the american people. the amount of money that actually goes to feeding the virus is less than 9%, so don't call it a rescue bill, don't call it a relief bill. >> reporter: and here's what's in it, $1400 stimulus checks for americans earning less than $75,000 annually, unemployment benefits raised to $400 a week, child tax credit expanded, $350 billion for state and local governments and $170 billion for school reopening costs. a florida congressman broke down what he called the progressive agenda which he said accounts for over 90% of it, billions in union pension bailouts, raising the minimum wage, expanding obamacare, money for closed schools, a silicon valley tunnel and stimulus for illegal immigrants. nancy pelosi disagrees.

>> it is, therefore, inevitable to all of us that the $15 minimum wage will be achieved even ifs it is inconceivable to some. it is inevitable to us, and we will work diligently to shorten the distance between the inevitable and the inconceivabling. >> reporter: the vote was 219-212. two democrats voted against the $1.9 trillion bill, congressman a jared golden of maine and kurt schrader of oregon. the democrats' effort to raise the minimum wage hit a snag when the senate parliamentarian said it would violate senate rules. this is the sixth coronavirus relief bill to pass since the pandemic began. guys? pete: lucas tomlin 'emson, thank you so much for staying up late for us. welcome to this saturday edition of "fox & friends." i'm live here at cpac, it's day

three, and you can wait all on fox nation. i was covering cpac, and i think this might be the most geographically diverse "fox & friends," we've got will cain in dallas, texas, and rachel campos duffty in wisconsin. rachel, good morning. rachel: good morning. i can't wait to hear more about what's going on at cpac. i remember going there and seeing celebrities like you when i was young, and it felt like disneyland for politics. are you feelinglike like a disney character? [laughter] pete: it can feel like that at times, it's fun. it's likest christmas for conservatives, will. we're going to bring you down here next year. will: i would suggest we are representing america today all across this country and some of the viewpoints, obviously, coming to florida. pete, i look forward to talking to you throughout the morning about who in florida got the most warm welcome among the speakers seeking the nation's attention in 2024. pete: it'll be interesting. the one everyone's waiting for

is, of course, former president donald trump tomorrow, but matt gaetz and don jr. received well yesterday, and don bongino got a roaring response, as you can imagine. the guy's fantastic. of let's get back to that bill, if you will. michael walz talking about 9% actually going to covid relief. here are some of the things in the relief bill, if we can put it up on the screen. health care subsidies to illegal immigrants, $350 billion in blue state bailouts, $1.5 billion to am a track. amtrak joe, you know he loves trains. and $140 million for a tunnel near pelosi -- and, of course, harvard and other higher education institutes receiving hundreds of millions, although of note, harvard has a $40 billion endowment. unclear why they needed relief funding. this is the kind of stuff you get at midnight in washington

with democrats in control. rachel: yeah. while we were all sleeping, pete. and that $40 billion to higher education, it's just so obscene. as a mom who has kids in college right now, they're charging full tuition, half the services they're not even offering. they're not in class most of the time, if at all. they can't go to the gym, there's all these things that they're used to having that they've shut down, i i think they've laid off people because with all the covid rules, they can't do certain things. they're charging full tuition, half the services, taking $40 billion from the government and, you know, saddling these kids, you know, with generational debt and higher taxes into adulthood with this loaded bill. it's absolutely obscene, and god knows why they haven't been pressured to dip into that endowment that so many of them have to help families that have been struggling during this time. it's -- the whole thing is obscene. it's such a fake gesture of trying to be bipartisan on the

part of biden who brought in those ten senators at the beginning who said, yeah, we're up for about $700 billion. biden started at $1.7 billion, and that's where he ended up, at $1.7 billion with his payback, will. will: yeah, rachel, isn't it fascinating they charge full prize for a compromised product? you're paying full price for your tuition e in college while they're only giving you half of your normal indoctrination. same thing when it comes to public schools. no one's seeing a tax break while many are sitting at home incapable of in-person learning. what a deal they've made. also fascinating, by the way, they don't need this money. you mentioned harvard's massive endowment. amtrak's getting millions. everywhere you look many of these institutions have money that goes unspent, yet more is being sent to them. meanwhile, want to tell you about another big story this morning, and it is truly a big

story. i think many can ask how is the migrant problem all of a sudden exploding under joe biden. it seems republicans are giving it undue attention. no, it is truly an exploding problem that's become acute in the past couple of months. first of all, border patrol has seen this problem increase, and they are now moving border patrol agents from the canadian border down to the southern border to deal with this growing problem. here's a quote from the health and human services official who was speaking to axios. we're seeing the highest february numbers that we've ever seen in the history of the unaccompanied alien child program. it's not only booming, it is particular. it is about unaccompanied minors making their way to our border. just take a look at the numbers quickly, guys. this is may 2021. this is right now, pete, 13,000. just put in context. a month if ago, 9,000. a year ago, 3,500.

two years ago, 3-rbgz 700 -- 3,700. in 2017, just 2,000 to above 13,000 now, pete. pete: absolutely. and there's one thing that changed in between those numbers as i look at them, a different administration with different prerogatives and priorities creating a pull effect for people who realized the border was closed and closing and ultimately remain in mexico policy was incredibly effective as a deterrent of surging of migrants to the u.s. border. and, rachel, you talk about it a lot are, 75% of these unaccompanied minors are brought across by coyotes or smugglers, and the fact that they're minors helps them -- helps parents and others navigate, take advantage of our generous asylum laws. but it's a human travesty that this is happening, and it's growing. and those numbers are not accidental. there's a reason these numbers are growing so quickly, and it's

the open border biden administration policies, rachel. rachel: 100%. and they've been signaling during the campaign and since the election that the border is open, and then they act like they're surprised that, you know, people are coming up. and they asked jen psaki, and she said, oh, well, don't come yet, we haven't got our policies in place yet. like these people are sitting around watching c-span waiting for a vote on something. [laughter] it's just ridiculous. and, yes, there's a human tragedy. and the reason for reversing, that they gave for reversing all these policies that were working under the trump administration regarding our border and immigration policies is they said it wasn't humane. well, what could be more inhumane than incentivizing very desperate parents to send 7, 8, 9, 10-year-old kids? you have kids, both of you, that age. imagine sending them alone with coyotes, with human traffickers. bad things happen. many of them, when they're alone, but in this case i want

to bring up this clip that maria bartiromo, when she took a trip to the border, these were two little girls who came up with their mom and lost their mom along the way. take a look. >> how long have they been by themselves? >> she's 10 years of age. 10 years of age and 8. maria: 10 and 8, and you've been traveling alone for how long? [speaking spanish] >> okay. they were traveling. their mom set them down. she said she was going to go buy something and never returned. rachel: i mean, it's so heartbreaking. end when i saw that, i never forgot it. i knew we were going to talk about this. i asked the producers to pull it out. i know it's painful to watch,

but no one wants to see what is happening. this is not good for children. they are raped along the way, they are hurt along the way. how are those two little girls ever, ever going to get past that trauma? will: right. this just shows this story is not one that's manufactured for political points, not one that is illustrated in numbers we started this segment with. the numbers which are exploding at this border. that clip you just played from maria bartiromo's show two years ago, that is what's real, and that is what's happening on the southern border of the united states right now. all right. we've got to turn to a few new headlines starting with this fox news alert. a police officer is shot and killed at a high school basketball game in new orleans. police say the suspect got into a fight with a school staff member and opened fire. the officer escorted him out of the building. the suspect is in custody, the fallen officer has not been identified. and in virginia, a veteran police officer shot and killed

during a traffic stop. the officer pulled a car over and a suspect got out and opened fire before the officer even left his cruiser. the suspect ran away but was later taken into custody. the officer was 48 years old. pop star lady gaga has her dogs back after they were stolen in a violent attack. a woman who police say appears uninvolved in the beating and shooting of gaga's dog walker returned the two french bulldogs named koji and giews talf unharmed to the lapd. it's unclear how she found the dogs or if lady gaga is following through on her $500,000 reward. the dog walker is expected to make a full recovery. and cancel culture takes on dr. seuss citing alleged, quote, racial undertones in his writings and illustrations. the cat in the hat author's birthday is celebrated as a part

of read across america day, but the louden county school district dropped him from the celebration following pressure from a liberal education group complaining about the characters' skin tones. and those are your headlines. that's a real headline, by the way, pete, that is not from "the onion." that is real life. pete: oh, boy. that's the reason why cpac's slogan this year is america uncanceled, because dr. seuss is now canceled. when will it end? when will someone stand up to the one group that says -- makes you want to lose your mind. more of that coming up this morning including joe biden's pick for a top doj post is facing fierce backlash for controversial comments about our police force. >> led a group that wants to reduce punishment on white supremacists, even terrorists. pete: so is she fit to serve in the justice department? former acting attorney general matt whitaker just around the corner here joins me live,

enforcement from schools. here to react is former acting u.s. attorney general for president trump, matthew whitaker. matthew, thanks so much for being here this morning. >> good morning, good to be here. pete: great to have you in person. >> the super bowl of conservative politics. pete: it really is. you spoke yesterday, you're going to speak again tomorrow, but first, vanita gupta, what does it tell you about what joee biden wants from his justice department? >> that he has not completely given up on the idea of defunding the police. if you think about the obama administration for eight year, it was a lot of consent decrees, pattern and practice investigations where entire police organizations and departments were not only reviewed, but then were subject to some pretty onerous restrictions. and, you know, i think it really, it portends an era where we're going to go back to sort of police are are bad. and, you know, she's for defunding the police and

redistributing that to social programs. and i think that's a very dangerous, you know, especially -- we still have some major problems in our cities with violent crime, and, you know, instead of defunding the police, you know, we need to support them, and we need to give them the resources that they need to do their jobs. pete: you'd think after all we've gone through, we would come to that realization at some point. here's a portion of an op-ed in "the washington post" after the death of george floyd by dupe that. local, state and federal officials must promote greater police accountability including by banning excessive force maneuvers, congress must expand federal charging options for holding officers criminally accountable, establish a national registry for police misconduct, incentivize states to adopt best practices and revisit the qualified immunity doctrine. what does that add up to if you've got a badge -- >> it makes it almost impossible to do your job. in fact, what that would propose is that you would have to call a

lawyer before you tried to interact with a suspect -- [laughter] to make sure that whatever you're going to do is approved with, you know, by the federal government and, you know, by all the best practices. i mean, cops have a difficult job and, you know, we all should be for deescalation, make sure that the police are not, you know, sort of excessively abusing their badge. but, you know, by and large, my experience -- and i'm sure yours and many people -- the police have a tough job, and every day they do it really well. everyone once in a while they make a mistake, and we hold those people accountable, but we can't paint with this broad brush and claim somehow they're all racist or they a all use excessive force, because they don't. so many of them are great public servants. pete: of course. and because, ultimately, we're all human. including people who try to do the right thing every day. you're going to speak tomorrow, you're talking about election integrity, the states that got it right. >> yeah. on a panel with a couple of other folks talking about my

home state of iowa where the results came in the night of the election, they were accurate, they didn't have these multiday, multi-week counts where sort of the numbers were moving all over the board. i think it's going to be, actually, a very good path forward for some of these states like pennsylvania, michigan and wisconsin that need some reforms so that they can get their results in accurately and on time. [laughter] pete: that would be nice, yes. and real quick, preview of what you think the president will say tomorrow. >> oh, i'm super excited about his speech. i think he's going to talk about where do we go forward. we're already seeing what the biden administration is doing, not only undoing a lot of good work we did in the trump administration, but we're also seeing some of the radical policies that they're implementing and sort of the border is a prime example. so i think the president, i think he's going to reset what make america great means and show the path forward for the

conservative movement. pete: matthew whitaker, thank you. >> thank you, pete. pete: still ahead, washington state strike down the state's felony drug possession law. not only are drugs legal, but now violent offenders will be able to walk free. great. honey lemon chill for a fast-acting rush of relief like you've never tasted in... ♪ honey lemon ahh ♪ woo vicks vapocool drops now in honey lemon chill keeping your oysters business growing has you swamped. you need to hire. i need indeed indeed you do. the moment you sponsor a job on indeed you get a shortlist of quality candidates from a resume data base claim your seventy-five-dollar credit when you post your first job at indeed.com/promo if you have postmenopausal osteoporosis and a high risk for fracture, now might not be the best time to ask yourself, 'are my bones strong?' life is full of make or break moments. that's why it's so important to help reduce your risk of fracture with prolia®. only prolia® is proven to help strengthen and protect bones

jason moran joins us now. good morning, jason. let's walk through this. we've got to dive into a little bit of legalese, it's just sort of how it goes on these cases. so the seattle -- or, rather, the washington supreme court has said that the law of possession in washington doesn't work because it doesn't require knowledge. in other words, the criminal must know they possess smuggle illegallen on their control or when their control. and washington's didn't have that. why do you see it as such a problem and one that might turn criminals free? >> well, because it scrapped the entire statute that covers possession of an illicit substance which means because an officer can't in the moment prove that the person knew that they had the substance on them, be it heroin or cocaine or whatever, they're not even able to make an arrest. so all across washington state law enforcement agencies have said, you know, we're going to stop not only making arrests here, but we're not going to confiscate any of the drugs. basically making an absurd

argument. we clearly understand for the vast majority of these cases there was, of course, intent. to prove intent that you had knowledge of this is going to be difficult if not impossible, which is why we're just no longer enforcing the law, effectively legalizing the possession of drugs. will: wow. the prosecuting attorney in washington add had this to say about the ruling: the legislature should act with a sense of urgency to add the necessary elements to make the statute constitutional this session and not leave a defective statute on the books. how long could this be where effectively carrying drugs and even committing crimes with the drugs is something police can't do anything about? >> unfortunately, this can last years because the only fix is a legislative fix. they've already passed deadline to create new bills in our part-time state legislature, and at the exact same time, we have a huge portion of the democratic party within the house and senate are actively trying to

pass a bill that would legalize the personal possession of drugs. the only way realistically this is going to get changed is if we elect some better representatives from the republican or the democrat side that actually has the stomach to make this kind of change. rachel: so as a radio host, you get a pretty good feel for how people are reacting to these kinds of ideas and policies. how do the people in seattle feel about this? they've had quite a year with riots and now this, you know, which could really, you know, raise the violent criminal rates in the city. how -- is this how they want to live? >> so seattle versus the rest of washington state is a little bit different. so seattle is probably celebrating this. we've seen a lot of activists within the community saying this is good news because with our drug laws disproportionately impact people of color which the data doesn't back what they think. i've gotten no less than a dozen text messages and e-mails from

law enforcement across the state. the problem is this bill -- excuse me, this ruling is retroactive which means all of the people who got popped for possession and in many cases especially in seattle if you've got an actual drug dealer who actually got caught, they usually downgrade those to personal possession if because it makes it much easier to prove, and you get through the system much faster. so in theory, all those people are going to be released from prison. and, of course, if you have more serious charges against someone, a judge looks at their history. and if they had -- let's say they're just a hard core criminal who also got popped for drug possession, you add years to that sentence. so now that has to be resentenced urn this ruling. will: the state legislature and the criminal justice system there, jason, thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> thank you. pete: thanks, jason. will: up next, the cuomo cover-up continues. while nursing homes are now reopened to visitors in new york, hospital ceos are now

governor -- and let's face it, the man's an egomaniac. who writes a book as tens of thousands of people are dying around him? he's never going to admit, hold himself accountable. so it's up to the media and other politicians to do so. and if i had to ask him one question, it would be why with the jacob javits9 center which would hold up to 10,000 people and the uss comfort in the new york harbor with another 1,000, why were they 20% filled to capacity? why send these people back to the nursing homes? they should have been sent to these facilities which were set up exactly for this. and to me, this is just nothing less, giving him every benefit of the doubt, it's just gross incompetence which resulted in the loss of thousands and thousands of lives and affected thousands of families. just really sad, very sad. will: yeah. obviously, it's sad for your family because your mother was

one of those thousands. joanne, could you tell us about your mother rose and the situation at her nursing home. >> my mom lived in the nursing home, and it was -- she was not sick. we'd never heard anything about the covid except that it was being in nursing homes. we just got a phone call that she passed away, and we had no idea that she had covid or anything. so we were just in shock, and i wasn't even on long island, i was in pennsylvania when i got the phone call, and i just got in my car and drove like 100 miles an hour just to get back to long island just to see her. and i was devastated. i was in shock, and it's just not fair. i never got to say good-bye, i never, i never told her that i loved her again. i just wanted to be there for

her, you know? this has been terrible for us, my family. she raised eight kids. i mean, she didn't deserve this. nobody should die alone like this. that's how i feel about it. and i just don't even know what to say except the fact that why would he do this to these people? why would our governor do this? will: joanne, we're so sorry for your loss. really quickly, jesse, if i could just ask you for your reaction, since the time that your family has experienced this, you've been told by the governor, people died. you've been told from new york hospital ceos this was the right decision. what's your reaction to governor cuomo and those administrators? >> politics and cover-ups. again, you know, whatever the number, over 10,000 people lost their lives needlessly due to gross incompetence and, you

know, money always plays a role. there was immunity giving out to these nursing homes and these hospitals by this governor. i don't see any other reason for this but cover-up. and, you know, i hear people calling for him to stand down. to me, he should be standing trial for all the lives that he had cost. and, you know, just overall this is a very, very sad situation. the man will never hold himself accountable. and just real quickly i want to thank fox news for staying on top of this. i wish all the media outlets would. the media's a very important part of our government. their job is to hold these politicians accountable for their action as. that's not happening today for whatever reason. and for the other politicians out there, please, your silence is condoning his actions. his actions arer refutably --er refutably, i mean, there's

nothing we can say. we know what he did, we know it was wrong, we know thousands of lives were lost, and now the politics and the money and the cover-ups start coming out. this man really needs to be held accountable for his actions. will: well, telling your story, jesse and joanne, is part of the accountability. we appreciate you sharing your story with us this morning. >> thank you. >> thank you. will: rachel, over to you for additional headlines. rachel: thank you the, will. turning to your headlines, tiger woods undergoes follow-up procedures on his injuries from tuesday's horrific of car crash. a statement posted on his twitter reading: the procedures were successful, and he is now recovering and in good spirits. the golf legend was moved to another l. a. hospital after having a rod, screws and pins placed in his right leg earlier this week. u.s. attorney john durham resigns as the top federal prosecutor in connecticut making the announcement in part: it has

about all the athletes and folks who have worked so long, you get to high school, and all of a sudden a boy can say he's a girl and then compete against you? you look at the state of kentucky, and you see these kids that are running against girls, and they're beating them by 5, 6, 7 yards. i mean, it's just not fair. as americans, we all have common sense, and at the end of the day this is just another example of the left's war on identity. i mean, it's an all-out spiritual war on identity, and they want to divide us and break us up, but then they want to also just tear down one god given philosophy. god told us that he declares us man and woman, and now all of a sudden you want to mix that up and water that down? we have to do some soul searching. and as conservatives, you know, i'm proud to be here at cpac because i think now this is a call of action. this is a call for conservatives to actually come together, humble ourselves but then go out and start educating folks about these crazy issues.

i mean, you talk about gender quality, gender equality means a man treating a woman right and a woman treating a man right and loving each other. but it has nothing to do with changing what god has ordained. will: hey, jack, in your words this war on identity, who is it the left is championing? because for not just years, decades in athletics there's been this fight, this push to have equal access to sports for women, for females. there's been a massive expansion in girls' sports, and now this we see is actually one of the biggest threats to girls' sports you could have possibly imagined, allowing males to compete by their deck la la ration of identity against -- declaration of identity against females essentially tears down the growth that's been accomplished for decades. so who exactly is the champion? >> right now they're trying to confuse everyone. you think about title ix and all the progress, i remember even when i was in college 15 years agoing i mean, you start

thinking about all the progress that has been made and now all of a sudden they're trying to divide us and tell boys that they can become girls and girls they can become boys. this all goes back to the family structure. this is a war on the family. what they want too old is they want to make -- want to do is make our boys soft and make our women feel lie they don't need men -- feel like they don't need men. if they put that doctrine in our children, they can accomplish their mission which is what you see right now, a divided nation. pete: we're here at cpac, share me what your message is going to be. >> talking about family structure, talking about conservatives, let's actually be conservative. let's go out and break out of our own families and our own bubbles and go into our communities and start helping to raise all these fatherless kids that we have throughout our nation. let's start going into these broken schools. you know what? the democrats won't let us have school choice, so what does that mean to the poor kid in the inner city community that can't read and right?

as conservatives, we have to go out and do our jobs and mentor them. pete: amen. if you want to watch him today, fox nation, you can catch his entire remarks. great to have you. >> god bless you. pete: still ahead, a 40-year-old murder investigation finally solved due in part to a can of vanilla coke. we'll explain it next. it's time for the ultimate sleep number event on the sleep number 360 smart bed. can it help with snoring? i've never heard snoring. ...exactly. no problem. and... done. don't miss the final days to save 50% on the sleep number 360 limited edition smart bed. plus, 0% interest for 36 months. ends monday. carl shopped for the lowest mortgage rate and chose amerisave, a choice he'll never regret... ...unlike the choice to hitch hike. ahhh! which ruined his hand modeling career... it's over. don't worry, carl. things are looking up.

counterterrorism division, terry. thank you so much for joining us today. tell us why the fbi and law enforcement in general thinks this is so problematic, for her to offer a half a million dollars no questions asked reward? >> sure, rachel, good morning. well, first of all, this is a local crime. this was a violent crime committed on the street. the los angeles police department was in a great spot to identify these people and eventually solve this. but when you start putting resources out there to face violent criminals and literally keep this going by getting in the middle of these kinds of negotiations which were private, essentially, then you're creating an entirely different path, and you could have a lot more problems than you could solve. and, let's face it, most of us -- well, all of us, i think, love our dogs, and we'd like to do the best thing for them just like they would for us. but the bottom line is we see negotiations and kidnappings and

extortions, that applies to people. it doesn't apply to pents. and this would have created a lot of problems. i'm glad the dogs were recovered last night safely, and it kind of gets us away fromminging is to -- from having to even deal with it. investigators were livid because, after all, they have precious resources, they have a lot of problems to deal with, and this wasn't the place they wanted to pick and choose to go down this road. rachel: yeah. yeah, well, i mean, we love our dogs. i hope she also loves, i'm sure she does, her dog walker. i'm sure he wants to know who did to him. it's a very interesting story. i know a woman brought the dogs to the hospital. really quickly, do we know anything about her, and did she get the reward? >> i don't know. i haven't heard anything about that. probably still all being discussed somewhere. rachel: okay. well, thank you the, terry, really appreciate your update. first, mr. potatohead was

kevin mccarthy. >> the swamp is back. democrats have sided with their special interest allies and ignored the real needs of the american people. the amount of money that actually goes to defeating the virus is less than $9%, so don't call it a rescue bill, don't call it a relief bill. >> reporter: the bill includes $1400 stimulus checks for americans earning less than $75,000 a year, unemployment benefits raised to $400 a week through the end of august, child tax credit expands to $3600 per child, $350 billion for state and local governments plus $170 billion for schools' roping costs. florida congressman mike walz offered his interpretation of what he called the bill's liberal agenda. raising min pulmowage, expanding obamacare, money for closed schools, a silicon valley tunnel and a stimulus for illegal immigrants. nancy pelosi wants to see the minimum wage double to $15 an

hour. >> it is, therefore, inevitable to all of us that the $15 minimum wage will be achieved. even if it is inconceivable to some, it is inevidenting bl to us -- inevitable to us, and we will work diligently to shorten the instance between the inevitable and the inconceivable. >> reporter: democrats' effort to rah raise the minimum wage hit a snag when the senate parliamentarian said it violates senate rules. the squad has called for the parliamentarian's removal. and, pete, i hope you can make it to spring training while you're in florida. [laughter] will: thanks so much, lucas. welcome to "fox & friends" on this saturday morning. will cain, pete hegseth and rachel. campos-duffy -- rachel campos campos-duffy filling in this morning. i have two young boys, ages 13 and 9, which means for the past five years i've been going through the marvel movie -- i've seen every single one, and one

of the things i learned is thanos says i am ineffable. there's nan -- inevitable. there's nancy pelosi, she and her $15 minimum wage are now inevitable, pete. pete: yeah, it's a really interesting -- it's a scary reality of how much power they think they have. and i'm here at cpac, guys, the lights are just turning the on. it's my favorite part of the morning, so quiet. it's still quiet but people are trickling in. the energy will start to have turn up, and a lot of that, rachel, is because they see how far left and progressive the agenda has been under joe biden and how hard and fast they want to push it. will, you've talked about it, they want the structural reforms, get rid of the filibuster so they can ram the $15 minimum wage. nancy pelosi say it's inevitable, a lot of people in this hall hoping differently,

rachel. rachel: yeah. and aoc said fire the pardon mementtarian. [laughter] -- parliamentarian. it's kind of crazy. but again, 9% of a covid rescue bill is actually about covid. and i loved the list that lucas put, it's not even the craziest sufficient in the bill. i mean, we have, you know, social justice farming is in there. there's so many things in there, paybacks to unions and schools that haven't even opened. covid relief, by the way, for foreign countries. there's just -- it's just such a slap in the face. and in the end it's our kids who are going to suffer. so we went through a year of, you know, basically robbing our children of a year of education and of their childhood and friends and sports, and now we're going to give them a bill that's only 9% covid relief, we're going to saddle them with generational debt, we're going to give them taxes well into their adulthood to pay for $1.7 trillion of debt. it's just, it really says a lot

about not just democrat, but really our society and where we put our children, how we value them. and, by the way, how we value other children from other countries more than our own children. will? will: speaking of children, rachel, you know, i think democrats like this idea that republicans take up the mantel of immigration when democrats are in power. they think, oh, isn't it cute now that joe biden is president, republicans are incredibly concerned about immigration. no, it's not cute. it is reality. let me share a couple of facts at about what's happening at the southern border right now, to rachel's point, with children. over the past couple of weeks, the immigration services in the united states have shifted forces from the canadian border to our southern border to deal with this crisis. a 185,000 square foot tent city has been built to deal with the problem that you will see here reflected in the numbers. take a look at the number of

unaccompanied minors at our southern border, and rook at the growth from february 2017 to the projection of may of 2021. from 1,910 uni -- unaccompanied minors four years ago to 13,000 expected this spring, pete. it's not a partisan talking point, it is not convenient. it is reality reflected right there in the hard data. pete: absolutely, will, and i love what you said, the democrats now talking about the border except that's not true, this was the focus of the trump administration for four years, to get control of a border that has been out of control, a bipartisan consensus that allowed it to be open. trump said, no more. you mentioned the building of new tent facilities in texas. they're now known as tent facilities. now that it's a the biden administration. they were kids in cages before, now it's tents. we rename everything once there's a new administration, and those numbers don't lie. when you tell the world that the

border is open, people will send young kids unaccompanied, accompanied with traffickers, whatever it takes to get them across the border. jen psaki, who's the white house press secretary, was asked about these kids in these now-tents that used to be cages but they're now tents about whether or not are they getting schooling? if what kind of care are they getting? here's jen psaki. >> we had to reopen a new facility that had previously been closedded because of covid protocols because previously because we can't have kids in beds next to each other, we need space. it's been revamped. there are -- there's educational services there, there are health services and medical services. but our objective is to move them as quickly as we can to families that have been vetted and to, of course, reunite kids with their families. our best option, in our view, is to get these kids processed through hhs facilities. there are very few good options here, and we chose the one we thought was best. ray so did you

hear what she just said there? she said there are educational facilities here. that would be very interesting to parents rhode living in statd in cities where there is no in-person education going on. pete: yes. rachel: let's hear what stephen miller, he reacted to hearing that from jen psaki. kind of tucked in there, it was a little sneaky, but here's what he had to say about it. >> it's the shameless hypocrisy of the left. the idea that it's unsafe for american students to go to school, but we're going to open schools on the border for illegal alien youth from the all of planet everett. and here's the thing -- planet earth. and here's the thing the, we all believe of the humane treatment of people who cross the border, especially young people. but let me be very clear, a policy of releasing all illegal immigrant youth into the country on a functionally permanent basis and its sole result will be an endemic level of global child smuggling.

and that is why i say it is fundamentally immoral, it is wrong. will: it is well put. first of all, it is fundamentally immoral. this is not a question, pete, of whether or not migrant children and migrants coming to the united states receive humane treatment. there's simply not two sides of that coin. the question is do you create an incentive for illegal immigrants to come to the united states, as you pointed out earlier and quite clearly the biden administration is creating that incentive, and are you offering more to those migrants than you are to american children in terms of school. it's not really a question of humanity, it's a question of sanity, pete. pete: that's a good way to put it. [laughter] it's america first versus some other set of priorities that i don't know if people knew they were signing up for when they voted for joe biden, but that's exactly what they're getting. i'm down here at cpac, guys, in orlando, florida. it's open, open for business, but a lot of places in this country have not been for quite

some time. and what's been cool is you hearing from average americans who have become heroes because of their willingness to take courageous stances. one of those is shelley luther. you remember her, the dallas, texas, salon owner who was jailed for defying lockdowns. she spoke on this stage yesterday and really summed it up micely. what does it come down to when we're dealing with these draconian lockdowns? common sense. listen. >> it wasn't about a hair salon, it wasn't about a haircut. it was about common sense. i've got the dog groomer next door cutting dogs' hair essential. you could get an abortion, you could get liquor to go in texas, you could buy cbd things. we need to join together, work together to get these small businesses. shop small businesses, lay off the big box stores. you could go buy flowers and stand in line with 600 people at

lowe's or home depot, but you could not get your haircut, nor could you work out. it's just ridiculous, and when it sounds ridiculous, it is. that's when we need to stand up and say enough. rachel: she's so right. common sense has just gone out the window this year. and also i think people just have this innate sense of fairness as americans, and it was so fundamentally are unfair to allow these big box stores to open and to see our small businesses just crushed over this pandemic. and now we see this $1.7 trillion covid bill passed in the middle of the night. i bet if given the choice, common sense americans would say i would rather not have $1.7 trillion of wasteful democrat programs stuffed in there when only 9% is covid relief and just open up my country. let me open up my business. let me decide whether masks make sense in my establishment or not and how i can do it because i am

common sense, i'm a common sense person. and i just, i love that cpac puppets these people up to -- puts these people up to speak because they have so much more common sense than our leaders. will: we'll be hearing some of that about one hour from now because shelley luther is set to join "fox & friends" at 8:15 eastern time right here, this same channel you're watching right now. pete? pete: absolutely. joining me right here on set, and we'll hear from her firsthand. a few additional headlines this morning as well. more than 100 firefighters battled a massive fire outside of los angeles. crews say it burned several buildings to the ground and destroyed at least a dozen buses. it even caused transformers to explode. it took firefighters four hours to get the flames under control, the cause is under investigation. and san francisco's district attorney announcing his father, a convicted murderer, has been given a covid vaccine.

celebrating on twitter, amazing news: my incarcerated father just got his vaccine shot. i hope i'll be able to see him again for the first time in over a year. his father was sentenced to 75 years in a new york prison for a 1981 heist that left two police officers and a guard dead. and a community goes the extra mile to celebrate this world world war ii veteran's birthday. due to covid-19 restrictions, he couldn't have visitors, so his south carolina living facility asked for birthday cards instead and more than 1,000 poured in. kept him busy. the support led to mcpherson's caretakers to host a drive-through parade for people to celebrate. and those are your headlines. you cannot -- never underestimate the depth of goodwill for men like that man in this country, will. will: absolutely. all right. still ahead, some states have struggled rolling out their

will: as the country works to roll out the covid-19 vaccine, the list of who's eligible is slow arely growing longer. pete: but most kids and teens are still far from making the cut, so why did pennsylvania just send thousands of doses to pediatricians? rachel: here to react is fox

news medical contributor marc siegel. dr. siegel, welcome. how did this happen? how did all these vaccines go to pediatricians and not to the people who are truly vulnerable? >> well, you know, rachel, i don't have the inside scoop on this one, but i will say that we know that dr. rachel levine, who's currently up to be assistant hhs secretary, is a pediatrician, and she was the secretary of health in pennsylvania up until just a couple weeks ago. and she said in december that children should not be prioritized for the covid-19 vaccine. now, pediatricians' offices are adept at giving vaccines. some of them are saying they're taking these 12,000 doses and giving them to grand parents or very high-risk kids, but listen, here's the real problem: only the pfizer vaccine is even approved down to the anal of 16. moderna you can't get until 18, is they're going to end up with shots they won't have the right people to give it to. some children do keep going to their pediatrician til they're

20, but ideally, this wouldn't be the first place you would send that vaccine. will: here's what the pennsylvania department of health is saying: we encourage people to have patience. right now there's not enough vaccine to meet demand. dr. siegel, i'd love to ask you about herd immunity. we've talked about it on this program for a couple week now. i believe the current stats are that at least 20% of americans have received the first shot when it comes to being vaccinated for covid-19. add to that, by the way, how many people have had covid-19 and built up antibodies, we've got to be getting somewhere substantially towards herd immunity. would vaccinating children help us get there? >> first of all, will, i don't think we're near herd immunity yet, but where we are -- and i coined this term for you -- is in an immune slowdown in many areas. in other words, enough people have gotten sick in certain parts of the country, and i estimate that overall probably

25% of americans have had to covid-19, but that's generous. that's a lot more than has been diagnosed. the point is it's starting to slow things down. it's really good news. vaccinating kids will help because kids can be spreaders asymptommatically without knowing they've had it. but they're not the biggest spreaders. the biggest spreaders are adults so, again, they should be first. but here's another thing, there's this big political fight going on over schools which should not be going on. schools should be open. it's a much saferred idea. but if we vaccinate children, maybe we could fight against the teachers unions, you know? [laughter] they could be on the list to be vaccinated except if they have high risk symptoms like if they're very to bees or underlying conditions. then i might move a 16-year-old or a 17-year-old to the front of the line. pete: battle teachers unions definitely on the list. one last question for you, dr. siegel. the fx a a just gave -- fda just gave the go ahead to johnson &

johnson's vaccine. how substantial is that? >> i think that's a big game-changer for a lot of reasons. first of all, that's the one vaccine that's been studied in one dose, and it's been found to be 70% effective, and it's been found to decrease severe cases or hospitalizations by 8ing 5%. you don't have to keep it in the deep kohl, you can get it into underserved areas quickly. they've got 4 million doses ready to go. they're joining the game, and that's going to lead to more and more vaccinations. and to will's point, the more we vaccinate everybody quickly, add to the natural immunity we're seeing then we get to herd immunity in a couple of months. so we're on the right track now. pete: good to hear. dr. marc siegel, thank you so much for joining us, as always. >> thank you, guys. pete: you got it. still ahead, as president biden pushes an anti-gun agenda, second amendment sanctuaries are popping up across the country. we'll talk to some of the local leaders leading effortses in their communities, coming up.

county for gun rights. tell me about that. what does that mean? >> yeah. so we didn't really introduce a law. we don't make the laws, we introduce a resolution. the county commission 4-0 approved it. this is to basically stand in opposition of any regulations that are coming from the federal government, even to the state level, in opposition of rules or restrictions and also to oppose any public resources or funds to go toward any initiative that infringes on second amendment rights. will: i believe we saw something like that just a few weeks ago in arizona. so, essentially, if the federal government attempted to enforce any gun laws that your county had made a resolution to not enforce, they wouldn't have the resources. and that would bring in somebody like you, sheriff, in colorado. you would be tasked in declining

to enforce those laws. tell me how that works out for you. >> it works out just as any other federal law. we've been not enforcing immigration laws, so i don't know why this would be any different. it's not my role to enforce federal law, so gun confiscation would be another thing that i would stand against, and it's simply not something that's going to happen in weld county. will: sheriff, you're exactly right. i think the analogy is hard to's up cape. -- escape. just to clarify, as you said, your job is to execute the laws of your locality there. so when they tell you, no, we're not going to be enforcing federal law no matter what demand is made of you, you're not going to be confiscating guns there the in weld county. >> that's absolutely correct. i've stood against our state's red flag laws because i believe they're unconstitutional. the state -- or these federal

gun bans are unconstitutional as well, but they just don't have the enforcement allowable by local law enforcement or local county sheriffs or municipalities. will: all right. senator hamilton, let's go to you because we're going to expand this to a statewide level in the oklahoma. tell us what you hope to accomplish in oklahoma. >> well, thank you, will. what we hope to accomplish is to build a wall of protection around our god given, constitutionally-protected and blood-bought second amendment right. and we do that by defining what the terms onerous and infringement mean. and arms is basically anything necessary for the employment of that firearm, and infringement is anything that s&p stops an american citizen from exercising his or her second amendment right. and some of the philosophy behind this, in america we understand that power ultimately rests with the people. and we, the people, have delegated -- not relinquished --

our powers to those in government. and when those in government have decided that their going to misnews -- they're going to misuse those powers and authority or overstep their bounds, then it's not only our right, it's our duty as people to rein in our government and reminded them that they are our servant, not our master. rights come from our creator as stated in our declaration of independence. rights are not something that are granted to us by government. government is the protector and the guarantor of our rights, not the granter. will: absolutely. ing so sanctuary cities, perhaps sanctuary counties, sanctuary states when it comes to gun rights. fascinating development. one that we need to follow up on what the practicalities might be on how those laws are or aren't enforced. thank you all for being with me. >> thank you, will. will: take care. coming up, amazon under fire for removing a documentary on clarence thomas from its streaming service right in the

supreme court justice clarence thomas from its streaming service during black history month. when viewers attempt to watch the documentary, created equal: clarence thomas in his own words, they're met with a notification saying the video is unavailable to stream. let's bring in fox news analyst and our friend, lawrence jones, live from cpac. we're going to get to cpac in a moment. great to see you, as always, nice and early. when you see something like this, film unavailable, what's happening here? >> well, it's not just censorship, it's burying history. and i think part of the problem with this country is that we don't learn from history, and we don't understand the significance of history. but the backlash against clarence thomas is bitterness, right? you can disagree with his ideology, but the reason why liberals hate him is not just because of that ideology, but the seat that he took, right? because thurgood marshall was a warrior for the naacp, he was

obviously a legend in his own right. because a conservative took that seat, that's why they're upset -- pete: and i can acknowledge thurgood marshall is a legend even if i didn't agree with him, why can't you argue that clarence thomas is -- >> because he's a sellout. just like other people -- listen, he's a conservative justice, but he got us in the list erie books not just because of the way he looks, but because he's a good writer. he doesn't speak a lot, but when he does speak, it makes headlines. and so even if you don't want the include him or him being a black man, there's only been two black folks on that court. just mention his writing. pete: it is amazing, the double standard. all right. so, lawrence, we are, i don't know, 30 feet from the regency ballroom here. >> the it's crazy.

open -- businesses are open, and people can choose their destiny. and i think conservatives finally have their hero. of course, the movement right now is run by donald trump. you can't deny that. but when it comes to that person on the state level that's governing, that represents the movement, it's desantis. pete: yeah, it's undeniable that the anticipation for tomorrow, former president trump, is in the air already today. but you're light, desantis -- cuomo may have written the book, desantis took him to school -- >> exactly right. pete: -- and the crowd responded in florida. you got a big week next week, lawrence. >> you're going to join me one of those days. i'm hosting fox news prime time. you know, a lot of people -- where does lawrence stand on things a because i'm such a libertarian. i think we've got to get back to the bread and butter. i've been talking to a lot of our to audience. they are upset about the direction of this country. and i'm going to cover that. normally i'm on the streets talking to them, going into

so parents have complained, and the school board, the district superintendent put out this statement. he said: she behaved in manner the board does not condone, nor does her behavior represent our values. please note that the school board trustees are not district employees, they are elected officials. the school district does not have the authority to release duly-elected trustees if their positions. so in other words, she will stay in that position despite making those statements. i want to move to another topic with you that the -- that i think you have so much knowledge on and that is some teachers are canceling shakespeare because of racism and homophobia and classism. dr. seuss reportedly has been canceled from a virginia school system because of its racial undertones. what do you make of, you know, canceling dr. seuss but also, you know, shakespeare? >> well, for shakespeare there

has been a battle against western civilization going back many decades to 1988 jesse jackson led a protest at stanford university. they protested western civilization for being too your yo-centric and -- euro-centric and white male-dominated. we've seen the fruits of that, and you can trace the attacks to the critical race theory, and its intent to destroy all things that are traditional and its focus on white people in particular. and so the white culture, it's being canceled by the elites. and, unfortunately, the democratic party has pretty much endorsed this whole agenda. it's so destructive not just to minority children, but also to any child. and it itself is racism. everything about it is racist, and it means that poor children

would get -- they'll get a worse education because they're not being exposed to the basic skills that they need to be successful. rachel: yeah. we're doing a disservice to our children's education when we to these kinds of things. really quickly, the louden county, virginia, public schools did the not respond to fox news' request for comment if on this story. i want to thank you again, dr. swain, for joining us this morning. >> thank you. rachel: i really appreciate it. okay, coming up on his first day in office, president biden ramped up the red tape and regulations costing the country billions of dollars. our next guest confronted hillary clinton way back in 2016 over her green agenda that threatened thousands of coal jobs. we're going to hear from him after the break. ♪ ♪ if you have... ...moderate to severe psoriasis, ... ...little things...

saved $160 billion over that time. you know, bo, i was looking at this, the industry that you're in -- you formally were laid off -- is at a 42 the-year low. at least it was in 2019 when it comes to employment. it's just been on a downward trend for many years. why is that? what to do you attribute that job loss tosome. >> well, a lot of it can be due to the automation, the type of equipment that's being used now versus the manual labor that was there. there are advancements in technology that allow us to use less manpower. but you also have a push toward a greener agenda where people just automatically in the name of climate change or in the name of trying to push a green agenda has helped to do that. people look at our industry as a dirty industry or something that

it also has subsidies to illegal immigrants, $350 billion to state, local and tribal government relief, $1.5 trillion to amtrak, $140 trillion for a tunnel, harvard and other higher education institutions received hundreds of millions of dollars. also saw there was social justice farming inside the bill. >> that is good news. thank you for the update. with the huge social justice farmers will receive help. hopefully they can put it to good use because amtrak, the opportunity to spend $1 billion, they were given in the last relief bill. schools haven't fully spent the money they received in previous refills to reopen schools but here comes another $170 billion

for schools. doesn't matter if you need expensive, there's more coming for you. that is by the way unless you want to help out children who might be in need of mental health services with no school and forced to stay home and stared to zoom all day. gridlocked any funding for mental health when it comes to children's mental health. you can see priorities from who gets money and who does not. >> the sixth covid-19 relief bill passed since this started and yet schools are not open. the problem is and what we are doing in washington dc but the power held by unions and other democrats refuse to open up. you made this point. one thing that is most needed, we do that all the time. we share the best ideas. the thing most needed in this country is just opening it. it's why cpac came from national harbor maryland in the dc area and they couldn't hold this event, to orlando florida

because businesses are open, people are allowed to gather. if you don't allow that to happen, you can pass your sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth covid-19 relief bill but it won't change the dynamics on the ground and the scary part is it starts to feel like this is the plan all along, never let a crisis go to waste, we want to spend trillions, now we are just printing money untethered to the budget, most has nothing to do with covid-19 and we passing in the middle of the night and tell you we really needed it and let's do a $15 minimum wage that will crush businesses across middle america. i'm sure we will hear a lot about it at cpac today. >> everything you said is right on but remember we saw a 77% drop in covid-19 infection rates, we are coming out of this pandemic. they are trying to get this bill out in the middle of the night before we realize that in just two months we may have heard immunity. this is just a joke. 9% of it is covid-19. the rest of it is payback for

all the people who helped joe biden get elected. >> that your update of what is going on in washington dc. i subscribe to the philosophy of andrew breitbart, politics is downstream from culture. what is going on in culture has the ability to impact our daily lives. can you lose your job for speech, police in every aspect, every walk of society. increasingly, you know the answer to that, is yes in america. bill marr -- bill maher is a card-carrying member of the left is calling out the left because what is going on in our culture, cancel culture, woke culture is out of control. listen to this. >> liberals need to stand your ground law for cancel culture. so that when the woke mob comes

after you for some ridiculous fence you will stand your ground, stop apologizing. cancel culture is real, it is insane and growing exponentially and coming to a neighborhood near you and mature people understand humans are continually falling as opposed to wokethe way they are shocked we didn't emerged enlightened from the primordial news. than the social justice warriors, what you're doing sound like an onion headline, stop. >> we didn't emerge in light and from the news. what a great way of putting it. so well said because eventually, the best example of it is the san francisco, about lincoln and washington, probably diane feinstein said something a couple years ago but not acceptable.

eventually it makes its way everywhere and a good example of the recent victims of cancel culture. >> drew brief, and jemima, chris-craft, nick sandman, george washington, gone with the wind, the muppets, the list goes on and on and the latest is dr. seuss which is correct my head, they said something about figures being racial -- they are blue and yellow and they're not even human most of the time! i didn't like that because mister brown says move is the first book my little baby daughter with down syndrome, the first book we read to her that she actually laughed out loud. these books they want to cancel, dr. seuss, we love it because kids love it and they are going to ruin everything, the woke social justice warriors. >> this malignant need to find virtue by being bedridden somebody else, always finding somebody else you can cancel or preach to, this is a malignancy of the truth is they've been

controlling power centers for quite some time. the next step was to find safe spaces on college campuses to block out any debate, this is where the snowflake term came from but the latest iteration is you cannot exist, you must be canceled, you must go away, you cannot be part of employment or polite society if you disagree with our currently in vogue fashion. those fashion, that viewpoint will change tomorrow and there will be new people to cancel, have to find new versions of their virtue. is a malignancy that keeps growing. >> to me through the graphic up one more time of all the people that have been canceled. if you were to put the graphic up and say what are those things, there is no conceivable answer. there is no answer, no connection, no 7 layers of kevin bacon or whatever. at that moment somebody decided they were unacceptable so they

are gone, viewpoint ever shifting which means eventually it will be you. it might be tomorrow. >> for the record, 6 degrees of 7 bacon, it may soon be 7. amazingly 7 because it is growing. turning the red lines, two police officers shot and killed in the line of duty. in new orleans the police officers shot and killed a heiskell basketball game police say the suspect got into a fight with a school staff member and opened fire as the officer escorted him out of the building. the suspect is in custody. the fallen officer has not been identified. in virginia a veteran police officer shot and killed during a traffic stop. police say officer dominic winham -- he opened fire before he left the cruiser, the suspect ran away but was later taken into custody.

that on his podcast with bruce springsteen and here is the question. if that is the case what does this say about how radical biden's agenda is, the director of the center for economic opportunity at the independent women's forum. before we move on to biden's agenda, i want to ask you about president obama. this was a president who was elected twice by a majority country and he is smearing americans and america as being systemically racist and blaming them for why he didn't move this forward. >> in 2021 his answer is white supremacy. in 2016 his answer was far more measured and realistic which is it is difficult to get reparations through congress. it would not pass.

number 2 is not supported by most americans was only one out of 5 americans actually support reparations using taxpayer dollars and he recognized the better ways the forward-looking way which is to ensure every kid has equal opportunity, every kid has a great education and everyone can run as fast and as far as possible, not looking backwards and trying to remedy the past on the backs of people who didn't commit those sins. >> of the polling shows people are not in favor of it wise biden putting together the study committee and sort of scratching this window we have in our country and our history and causing more division? >> it is a little bit of lip service. through jen psaki, his press secretary, they didn't commit to finding legislation but to study the effort. it is appeasing the far left, the squad for example as well as a lot of blacks who salvaged his campaign in 2020, we will throw

you a bone, study reparations. if it passes congress good luck with that but also trying to shore up support for his other progressive policies and bigger fights coming down the pike like immigration. he needs as much support as possible to get anything done and this is one of the ways of getting through to that. >> do you think his supporters that want him to pursue this policy, you say he doesn't really mean it, are they going to be upset that here's another issue the democrats promised to do something on and then don't follow through? >> yes but for now everybody is holding together. the tape that held everybody together was we hate trump. that is gone now. you will see the party rift but reparations need to be forward-looking, blacks of been able to rise above real racism, for personal responsibility and self-reliance and philanthropy they've been able to get a lot done and that is what we need to turn to right now.

an operation of this nature without the crown prince's authorization. here to react is former state department spokesman morgan ortagus. that update, pretty significant revelation from that declassified material. i want your reaction to the fact the democrats criticize the trump administration for being too lenient on the saudi royal family for human rights abuses. when i look at the reaction of the biden administration to this classified material, it does not include anything directly targeting the crown prince. what is your reaction? >> there's a lot to one fact but when it comes to saudi arabia, crown prince, mohammed bin selman, he did do an interview with cbs where he accepted responsibility by saying the fact he was the head of the security organization, anyone paying attention to this story for the past few years knew there was involvement on his

part and he accepted responsibility so now you have to say going forward is the biden administration's response appropriate? they sanctions were individuals, sanctions at the state department under mike pompeo and incredibly important for whether a republican or democrat administration, for the united states of america to say we will not tolerate journalists around the world being harassed, intimidated, imprisoned, jailed, killed for the work that they do. that is really incredibly important standard. we talked about this under mike pompeo and the biden administration is doing it as well. it is a nuanced discussion about what we do going forward with saudi arabia, secretary of state and the relationship with saudi arabia is bigger than one individual and that is right. >> so much is on the line, the united states has a lot of

interest in saudi arabia but there are those just like when the trump administration was in power, with the biden administration in power saying we've got to have accountability. this up and saying mohammed bin selman is guilty of murder, biden should not give him a pass. what should we do when it comes to this admission? >> politically speaking the biden administration is getting hit from the left because he did not go far enough. we have to look around the world and realize, like literacy, a record of imprisoning journalists. in asia, saudi arabia is not the only country where this happened. i think the sanctions on the security services are important, saying that the biden administration, the human rights abuses in china, in foreign policy does not black and white,

there are shades of gray we have to deal with and the washington post editorial is a little bit wrong in the accusations that saudi arabia should find a new crown prince, the united states isn't in the business of telling foreign countries who their leaders should be your shouldn't be but we have to hold people and regimes accountable and there are human rights abuses. >> we have to be able to hold people accountable while also balancing competing interests. there is the issue of living up to your own standards. after the airstrikes it came up how the biden administration reacted when they were not in power. jen psaki in 2017 said what is the legal authority for strikes? assad is a brutal dictator but syria is a sovereign country and joe biden almost a year and a half ago, discussing donald trump's recent actions in syria and his erratic impulsive

decisions endanger our troops and make us all less safe. this week the threat level on us contractors and military personnel in the middle east was raised because of airstrikes by the biden administration. that sends accountability to the standard we were talking about. it seems the biden administration is not living up to the standard they set themselves. >> we see the politicization of foreign policy in a way that is not constructive and that is exactly what you just talked about. for the four years of the trump administration we use the same legal authority the biden administration is using to hold but iran accountable. troops in iraq, whatever our diplomats are threatened by shia militia groups which are trained, funded quote by iran the united states of america must hold iran and its proxies accountable. i'm supportive of the strike and i wish we wouldn't publicize

foreign policy which is what happened under the trump administration. when we politicize that we criticize every decision the president makes this because he's not a member of our party. it was frustrating to see that and as the biden administration makes a decision i agree with it is important to go after terrorists, important to go after the regime in iran but i said this yesterday on fox on "outnumbered" we need a strategy from the biden administration, yes you should respond, you should protect american troops but if the iranian regime knows that was us get piles of cash again or the biden administration is going to rush back into the jcp a you are never really totally holding them accountable. we had a maximum economic pressure campaign against iran, encourage the biden administration to let the american people know what the strategy is, supportive of the strike yesterday but more than that, to containers regime. >> these are complicated issues

with competing interests and principles. >> thank you for me talk about it. >> to 6 respect to the idea when looking at these we should think about that ideology of america first, how does this live up to this. good to talk to you this morning. strategies are helpful. convicted for the 1993 world trade center bombing had their sentences reduced. one suspect getting 30 years off his sentence, each man was originally given 204 years in prison but now they could be released within their lifetime. even if they are free, they would be deported. it has been 28 years since the deadly bombing. removing a potentially harmful chemical from its mac & cheese.

brise, goya, kermit the frog, george washington. .connection between these things other than they need to go. what do you say? >> i'm a registered independent and as i said yesterday you saw my voting record and you would think i should be speaking at the aclu and it is true there are people, the loudest people speaking up about this bill or glenn greenewall, people who are all where this could swing against the left. once you set the precedent that if we don't like what you have to say we try to the platform you, prevent anybody from hearing it, that can be used against anybody and it is very dangerous. i have been lucky. i've been able to go on fox a bunch in the last year, the word about my book about covid-19, the unreported truth, the word

has gone out, elon musk talked about them. but there are a lot of people who are afraid to say what they think, afraid of being canceled and why wouldn't they be when james bennett, the editorial page editor lost his job in june for running an op-ed by senator tom cotton. he ran a piece by a senator that people didn't like and he lost his job. a weird and dangerous moment right now. >> not just that but an op-ed about troops and their necessity. maybe that is a valid and legitimate argument and debate to be had in the pages of the new york times. your book about covid-19, amazon almost wouldn't promote it until elon musk and others raised the issue. that is what you talked about as well. give a preview, freedom of the press. is that a conservative value these days are just happens to be who's willing to champion it right now? >> i don't think of it as a conservative or liberal value but an american value, a value we all should have and if you

we talked about how this could be the end of girls sports if boys can join girls sports and start competing and winning. in your sport it is more than that, it is a massive health risk to let boys jump into the ring and start fighting the girls. >> absolutely. were not even talking about the competitive edge as far as running pastor or jumping higher or girls learning that is losing opportunities for scholarships or opportunities such as that but physical contact sports, in the collegiate level where there is wrestling, allowing males, somebody was prior a male to convert over and compete with women the advantages can lead to health risks because of the injuries that could occur because of the damage that person would have the advantage to do, to impose on a female athlete.

will: you wrestled and played football for a while. you have experience in competing against boys. tell us what that is like. >> i played with boys in early freshman years of high school and freshman year i stopped playing icicle inserted wrestling boys because that is when puberty starts and they are kicking harder and i kept getting injured and because i was trying to compete with something i have no control over, girls don't have bigger bones, bigger hearts, bigger lungs than guys do. it made -- it was getting unfair and i had to go to women's sports wrestling competing with girls because that is where the fair game is.

will: your daughter is pointing out some basic biology we all know when it comes to bone structure and hormones but i have been involved in this conversation. the other side will point to the few girls who perform better than boys were even doctors say after hormone therapy whatever else might be required, it is not a risk to biological girls. what do you say to that side of the argument? >> we can point of the exceptions to make our point. i can point to my daughter and say she can beat up 90% of the boys who compete but she's an exception to the full. i can find elite women athletes in the gym who cannot lift 90% of the men but there are exceptions. the norm is males will always more often than not outcompete the women. that is why we divide the sport. that is why we have a female

basketball league and a male basketball because if it was all together we would have the nfl where we don't see any female competitors because on general lines you won't see women -- it is a silly argument to allow somebody -- will: i'm up against a hard so i got to run. thanks, more "fox and friends" next. ♪ hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid ♪ ♪ and all that glitters is gold ♪ get 5 boneless wings for $1 with any handcrafted burger. only at applebee's. ♪ pepto bismol coats and soothes your stomach for fast relief with any handcrafted burger. and get the same fast relief in a delightful chew with pepto bismol chews. it's time for the ultimate sleep number event on the sleep number 360 smart bed. can it help with snoring? i've never heard snoring. ...exactly. no problem. and... done. don't miss the final days to save 50% on the sleep number 360 limited edition smart bed.

people who generally hold views on the right, what is cpac? don't know if that is a reflection of more people becoming more political or if it reflects the rise of cpac and its cultural significance over time, but as a reminder you can watch not just speeches from numerous speakers including peter exhibit, that guy over there, a little bit later, a trial could cpac on fox nation. will: they canceled the president's twitter account but he is speaking tomorrow and everyone is waiting for what he has to say and there is also a cpac stronghold before the president speaks. the president -- the world will be more surprised than they think who will be a top of

poland how big the majority will be but we will get to that later as well. the thing about that $1.9 trillion bill passed the other night. the toilet is relief. here is the stuff that is also in the bill that is and as covid-19 related as you might think. healthcare subsidies for illegal immigrants, blue state bailout the $1.5 billion to amtrak, a nancy pelosi and her district, $140 million and hundreds of millions of dollars for elite institutions, harvard has a $40 billion endowment, doesn't seem like they are need a lot of relief and the sixth covid-19 bill, $2 trillion added when so much is yet to be spent. >> at a time when we understand that covid-19, we may reach heard in the unity within a couple months.

why this rush? why do we needed in the middle of the nice. i think about the debt as well, 9% of this covid-19 bill is about covid-19, the rest of political paybacks to those got joe biden elected, every special interest, crazy radical program you could think of under the sun, they crammed it into this bill and i think that our kids and what more can we do to them? first we remove their childhood for a year, robbed them of that, rob him of their education, set them behind, and now settled in with generational debt and taxes into their adulthood for something that has nothing to do with covid-19. will: speaking of kids is the immigration crisis at the border real or manufactured fever dreams of right-wing media or partisans? how about this? is incentivizing illegal

immigration something that induces or provides a carrot for people who cross illegally into or cross the american border? here might be the answer to those questions. these three facts. number one, over the last couple days immigration services in the united states have shifted border patrol agents from the north, the canadian border, to the south, to the mexican border. 185,000 square-foot head, tent city to hold illegal immigrants in texas and finally this, talking about children, according to an anonymous apartment of health and human services official we are seeing the highest february numbers that we have ever seen in the history of the unaccompanied alien child program. the crisis is real. the incentive has costs and has

real-world effects, look at the explosion, unaccompanied minors at the southern border. over a 4 year timeframe, you see the number of unaccompanied minors explode from 9110 in february of 2017, in may of 2021. responding to the incentive of not just joe biden's policies but it takes a minute for this type of migration to occur to his rhetoric and his campaign and now would be a crisis on the southern border. >> he signaled this. this is where they are coming. the trump policies at the border and immigration, i don't know what would be more inhumane than incentivizing parents to send their little children under the

age of 10, with cartels, human traffickers and bad things happen. when maria bartiroma was at the border. with other young kids, those kids lost their mom and were terrified at the border and compassionate border patrol were able to intervene. it was caused by joe biden. where is michelle obama, and laura bush, tweeting about unaccompanied minors coming to the border. where are they now? >> it is joe biden.

joe biden was on univision talking about there are migrants but very different, we build the tenth differently. here is joe biden yesterday. >> thousands of unaccompanied children across the border. in texas they opened up one, one that was in the administration. they would provide for every kid comes across the border safely, and the facility that was licensed. >> it is done in a humane way. they get mental health services and physical health services and education. will: incredible doublespeak in

the way the media will farm over -- your reaction, the way everyone should feel about this. >> it is so outrageous. it is humane when they do it, not when trump did it and they were incentivizing children to come on this journey. they are responsible for this. >> it is the same but it is different because joe biden is president. what reveals the demagoguery, the cages were built during the obama administration, there was in singapore at that time. when donald trump is president there is outreach, when joe biden is president it is the same but different. turning to a few headlines, republicans want gretchen witmer investigated placing covid-19 patients in nursing homes. death numbers inside long-term care facilities.

jim runstood said her regional health policy placed patients with and without covid-19 facilities and exacerbated the death toll in those facilities. the move from republicans is being called the shameful political test. more than 100 firefighters battle massive fire at a warehouse outside los angeles. crews say it burn several buildings to the ground and destroyed at least a dozen poses parked nearby and cause transformers to explode, downing power lines. it took firefighters four hours to get the flame from the control. the cause is under investigation. check this out. of texas teen at her family's home after they broke during the massive winter storm. the home with 34 degrees until 15-year-old meadow made the necessary repairs by herself and even helped her neighbors with their pipes too.

meadows is studying plumbing, pipefitting and welding at a construction academy in san antonio. how about that? real-world knowledge applied at a time of need. i wonder how those social justice studies helped with the freezing cold temperatures over the past week. >> i love talking about real world skills because i have so few of them. i admire someone like this, to provide and help the community, good on her and there are tons of great paying jobs, and they will find one as soon as well. pete: the house officially, rick grenell took the stage, passing $1.9 trillion covid-19 relief bill but how much of it is absolutely relief? charles payne has the numbers

an article on costly overkill. the majority of costly overkill, another way of funding, democratically inspired initiatives, a rescue bill, i have no problem with families that made money, a lot of folks have been forced to work, a lot of been shutdown. the unfortunate irony, but do this sort of stuff, will receive a big chunk of money being rewarded for policies that made no sense scientifically or politically, certainly not on a moral basis. they are rewarded for the worst possible actions. the bill is overkill and you can have that. pete: it remains to be seen whether the senate will pass it. a big part of the debate would have to change in the senate

rules, $15 minimum wage, nancy pelosi said it is inevitable with democrat control they will get a $15 minimum wage. do you think that will happen? what will the impact to be? >> they could if they continue to control the house, and in the near future, public opinion on their side, everything else is against this, logic, academic work and if you were to ask small businesses, the national federation of independent is mrs. cfos around the country and low-income households which tend to have more than one person on minimum wage would you like to have two people making the same $10 an hour or one person making 15? anyone can do that math. it is another of these sort of

things presented as a moral thing we should be doing in the exact opposite. and it is over 25% at the minimum wage or lower. that is a different debate, the democrats always focus on. higher minimum wages one of the worst oxymorons i ever heard in my life, we should be focused on grander skins. pete: what is not included in the bill is incentivizing states to open up. a lot of people have been saving money, revitalizing the economy. >> a savings rate at 20.5%, $4 trillion, they have paid them. to treat yourself to something.

inside that bubble. >> at first it was a little odd and it was different for all of us but we have gotten used to it. it can get a little hot but for the most part it is pretty simple and we have fun with it. >> how does it compare, playing in these bubbles, compared to playing on zoom which you were doing before this. >> band practice, hard to play together. all of that. this is a way better chance to play as a band, we take our

masks off and it is quite simple. it is really amazing. >> must be wonderful to not see her friend in masks and see their smiles and be together. i can only imagine. what was interesting to me, this went entirely viral not just in the united states but internationally. why do you think it meant so viral? >> people like to see other people overcome challenges. and people are inspired by it. >> what was it like for you to play inside the tent.

>> the sound is very different than you are used to but we sent a whole semester online trying to do the whole zoom band and playing with everyone, the greatest feeling ever. don't mind the tents. >> is it necessary to be in the tent? it looks fun. do you feel it is necessary? >> oh, yes. we had such strict -- regulation. all these covid-19 guidelines. to be able to do that, to take this opportunity, they are

necessary. it is safe and we go through. >> allison, part of going viral is you made bands really cool. >> it is definitely different. it was the creativity and it is the greatest feeling ever to be back and see everybody and joke around and play. >> so happy you got back together, play together, see each other and enjoy what seems kind of normal. thanks for joining us today on "fox and friends".

pete: let's bring in stephen miller to react to. you were integral to the immigration policies of the trump administration and we will put some numbers up of unaccompanied minors at the southern border, where they were under the trump administration and where they are estimated to be, 1000, 3000 in february, 2018, 3000 in 2020, by may of this year, when you hear the rhetoric from the biden administration and you look at the numbers what is your biggest take away. >> something people may not know that was a lot of light on this issue. when a pandemic hit the united states of america, the center for disease control, all people border crossing the border, have to be returned to their countries immediately as quickly as safely as possible. keeping us safe.

the biden administration terminated the order, traveling under the age of 18. they are flooding across the border. it was a choice by the biden administration to open the floodgates. this is why the border is being overwhelmed by migrants and putting thousands of children into the arms of smugglers and traffickers. it is an immoral policy and tomorrow the biden administration would change the policy choice and send young illegal immigrants safely home, to be with their loved ones. >> you said something earlier, this is not an issue of

humanity. everyone on both sides of the aisle want to deal with the situation humanely. what do you incentivize and how do you treat american children versus how you are treating those who came into this country illegally? jen psaki talking about educational opportunities for children of migrants or unaccompanied migrants. a contrast for many cities in america. >> they adopted an anti-science position. their view is inherently unsafe to educate american children but inherently safe to educate illegal alien minors on the border. there is not a single thread of scientific evidence that could support that point of view. it is a pattern in which illegal immigrants are privileged over americans and the tragedy here, not just hurting americans, hurting these young migrants. 14 years old, 15 years old being

pushed into the arms of criminal cartels, smuggled in traffic across many in the united states, on the hope and expectation the biden administration facilitate the rest of the smuggling operation and as long as that policy remains in place. >> the, quote, science of covid-19 with regard to who gets to come in and testing. i want to change the subject because you are at advocacy -- cpac. what do you think he's going to tell america tomorrow. >> and he's going to trust up

contrast between republican politics, that prioritizes working families and working people, biden administration that prioritizes large multinational corporations and foreign countries. a choice between america first and america last. that covers immigration, trade, response to the coronavirus, energy policy, every single aspect of american life, it covers foreign policy, whether we will continue endless foreign wars as joe biden seems to be doing or whether we bring troops back home. are we putting america first or last? >> imagine many people will see what donald trump has to say. turning to the headlines,
