but not from the volcano. "justice with judge jeanine" is next. remember i'm watters and this is my world. ♪. >> we have truly upended the status quo. we've demonstrated enormous resistance to socialism to the woke cancel culture. i think we have a great chance of getting the majority back. >> we're going do get the majority back. we're five seats away. [applause] i would bet my house, my personal house. don't tell my wife. i would bet it. >> let's always remember is good. freedom is better than tyranny. we are unique. we are exceptional.
3:01 am
and no american should ever, ever, apologize for that. [applause] pete: we begin this sunday edition of "fox & friends" with a look at cpac here in orlando, florida. rachel: conservative leaders predicting a bright future for the republican party as it focuses more america first policies. will: former president trump will take the cpac stage today, making his first address since the inauguration. he is expecting to make a stinging rebuke of president biden's first month in office taking on issues like illegal immigration and the keystone pipeline and expected to give a pathway to the gop to retake congress in 2022. good morning to "fox & friends." i'm will cain with pete hegseth. with us again is rachel campos duffy. pete is live from cpac.
3:02 am
give us a sense what it is on the ground yesterday and today as well as you gave your own speech. pete: a lot of excitement. the media is looking for a civil war inside the conservative movement. there is not one. call it cpac or tpac, the people are rallying around former president donald trump and the his policies there is more anticipation at 6:02 a.m. than there was yesterday. the former mt. will speak before the page. there is line forming for his speech which is not until later this afternoon. the conservative movement feels alive and well. a lot of it has to do with the fact that joe biden's policies have been a lot more radical than a lot of people even anticipated. rachel: i think that is a great point. congratulations pete on an amazing speech yesterday. you can get people on their sofa to stand up and cheer that is a
3:03 am
pretty darn good speech. i was really impressed. my only beef the produces didn't include you in the little sot you had for the next hour. this is the 2018est political realignment for the gop in my lifetime. what you're seeing on at cpac i'm seeing on the ground in trump country and places like blue-collar america. this is not a cult of personality saying this is all about trump. this is truly about policies. listening to the speeches yesterday from my home at cpac, listening to people on the ground where i live, very obvious it is about trump they like that he fights. about so much more. it is about ideas. will: yeah, president trump is expected as you said, pete, to take the stage later today. so what can we expect when he
3:04 am
does so? what will he be talking about? his son, donald trump, jr. yesterday gave some insight what the president would be talking about. listen to this. >> when i walk around the floor here at cpac the amount of love for my father, for his policies, putting america first, going to bat for those americans who have been forgotten for far too long, it is absolutely incredible. i think you will see talk of that. i think you're going to see talk of this just being a different republican party. one that isn't just into losing while being disgraciously anticipated as cocktail parties in washington, d.c. that is what our establishment has done. they have done nothing better than essentially snatched defeat from the jaws of victory for decades. donald trump told them you don't have to do that. you can actually fight for the people. you can put america first. you don't have to be ashamed to do so. will: i can only speak for myself but i suspect there might be some out there that certainly agree with me, certainly,
3:05 am
rachel, what you suggest might be so, we're in the middle of the biggest realignment not just of the republican party but conservative values in our lifetime. that doesn't mean we're abandoning what it meant to be a conserve i have in the past, understand times are changing, america has changing and technology changed so much what we do. going forward the republican party will have to dec i'm excited how the former president should address the issues going forward. i believe this is the biggest shakeup. the question, what will the republican party, what is former president trump's vision of the republican party going to play in that shakeup going forward. there is another big story we're following this morning. a second former aide coming forward accusing new york governor andrew cuomo of sexual harassment. ashley slow slow slow meyer
3:06 am
joins us with thor. >> that andrew cuomo asked about her sex life. said the governor never physically touched her. cuomo denied the claims, asked for an independent review into them. this comes days after the first claim of sexual harrassment from como from lindsey boylan. bennett tweeted out in support of boylan. i'm with you and so proud of you. congresswoman stefan nick released a statement, that cuomo is a sexual predator and must resign immediately. andrew yang called out cuomo there needs to be an aggressive investigation. new york state senator bianji tweeted, cuomo, you're a monster. time for you to go now. all the controversy over his nursing home scandal continues. a gun store in albany put up
3:07 am
a giant billboard along the highway calling for cuomo to be impeached. back to you guys. pete: thank you, ashley. the positive in new york is under siege. andrew yang said an aggressive independent is what we need. get to the bottom of what appear to be credible allegations he denies. the only way to get to the bottom of it is to have someone take a look at it but when you add it all together this is a rough moment for the governor and rightfully so and the reason there is a pile-on right now, not just because of the nursing homes but when you hide, deny, obfuscate the numbers, people look for more and things you have done in the past. particular critique is michael goodwin in the "new york post," talking how the attorney general in new york has to be looking for more. here is a portion of what he wrote in an op-ed, that these crises share common roots.
3:08 am
cuomo centralized power like no governor in modern times and came to see himself as untouchable. when the legislature granted him emergency power in the pandemic, he used it to fight critics. democrats most of who would have instantly called for cuo mere fact accusers and critics are coming forward marks a turning point puts him in jeopardy. fewer and fewer people are afraid of him. that is it, a serious turning point here. rachel: it is. it is a story about incompetence of the governor but i have to say, pete, it is also a media story. we cannot forget that andrew cuomo was put on a pedestal. he was presented to the american people as early as last summer as the gold standard of how to handle covid. he was, you recall even last summer they were saying he should replace joe biden on the ticket. you remember that conversation
3:09 am
that was happening in the media with talking heads. this is as much a media story. they have eggs all over their face. they're embarrassed. i think maybe that -- there is nowhere to hide right now with these allegations coming out both about the accusations of sexual harrassment and exposure behalf happened at the nursing homes. i dent know, will, i think it is a it is a two-pronged story. will: i like how you start to organize, rachel. everybody listening that i have conversational ocd. i like to put things in bullet points or numbered lists. i see it as a three-prong story. i share some of your bullet points. there are a three things to take away from the story. when it comes to accusations, accusations have increased power in our society over the last four or five years. i'm always one who wants accusations backed up by investigation and facts. michael goodwin said an external
3:10 am
investigation is warranted but until it is backed up it is still an accusation no matter who the accused is. what is revealed, andrew cuomo had an administration emboldened by fear. he controlled everybody with power. now that the power is broken down a little bit, more people step up to say this is what my experience with andrew cuomo is like. this is more criticism, thirdly as you point out, rachel, the media has been willing to address. you're absolutely right the third point is one of the most important points in this. he has been treated as a hero. that was obviously not the case. he was not perfect in his handling of covid, he has ruled through fear and as we go forward what we realize the reason he was held up as a hero simply because he was to the president trump. that was their standard. that standard was not good enough. pete: that's right. you spoke slowly, with gravitas with a power point presentation and media fell for it right away. a few additional headlines as
3:11 am
well, starting with this fox news alert a manhunt is underway after two deputies are shot near the florida georgia line. one was airlifted to a hospital in critical condition. they were shot during a traffic stop in georgia. authorities say troy phillips could be armed and dangerous. his brother was taken into custody in connection with the shooting. the fda approves johnson & johnson's covid-19 vaccine for emergency use. it is the first available from the u.s. to require one dose as opposed toed moderna and vaccine that require two doses. they hope to distribute four million doses across the nation this week. you are looking live now at the international space station where three astronauts are about to head out on a spacewalk. they're preparing the station for future upgrades. the mission is expected to take six 1/2 hours. the first of two scheduled spacewalks with the second set

for friday. those are your headlines. guys, that is something i would like to do, a spacewalk. if you're wealthy enough, will, rachel, you may eventually get a chance to do that. you pay to go into space, pay to do a spacewalk. so maybe -- will: can't decide if that is where my money will go or walk on the beach. not sure which way i will spend my money right now. how cool is technology. rachel: i will take that over a moonwalk. will: the last week or two we had live shots from a spacewalk and mars. how cool is technology from 2021? we're getting shots from everywhere including, orlando, florida, where pete hegseth has been walking the stage. we'll tell you what is scheduled to take place there. it is not the moon or mars or a spacewalk but pete will be there at cpac. adam housley passed covid relief deal, some lawmakers are calling

3:17 am
it is interesting, talk about what you believe was worthy. the 9% covid relief, if the the 91% were not part of this bill, the pork part of this bill, what would you be in support of congressman? >> i would be in support for things targeted for small families and small businesses that struggled mightily over the past year. things focused on continuing vaccines out into peoples arms much add all of that up is 9%. the 91% is things like 350 billion for blue states. it is a blue state bailout, will. going to states that have had lockdowns. they don't have the state revenue anymore. most states have to balance their budget, the federal government doesn't. then that, so those m have 86 bn
3:18 am
pension bailout from mismanagement there. 34 billion to expand obamacare. 130 billion for schools, that sounds great, we all want our schools open, there is no way the money get down to the states, get down to the school districts, get into the schools to be spent in any reasonable amount of time. keep in mind we still have a trillion dollars unspent from december when we passed the last, when we passed the last one. i want to say, china continues to be the big winner here as we continue to spend ourselves into oblivion, therapy military counts on us going bankrupt within the next decade before they make their big moves. will: no doubt. we talked about that on the show the last couple of days, the amount of poker in the bill, it is amazing. here is more it. i put it on the screen. we talked about the money unspent reopening schools, whatever there may be a ton of money goes to amtrak. amtrak has not spent the money
3:19 am
already granted to it. $350 billion in state and local bailouts. 140 million for a tunnel in nancy pelosi's district, harvard with the massive endowment gets several tens of millions of dollars. it doesn't make much sense. save for a second on the op-ed on the olympics. let me ask you, republicans supported 2,000-dollar checks, many republicans for americans out there. this bill has relief for more americans in terms of unemployment, direct payments. where do you stand, republicans stand on c payments to americans. >> send them to people that need them the most. i don't see why governor workers that received a paycheck all along. companies booming like netflix or amazon need to get another stimulus check. it needs to be targeted. right now we're blasting those things out kind of shotgun style. will: okay. i mentioned i want to save a second for your op-ed. you wrote an op-ed, here is the headline.
3:20 am
the u.s. should boycott the 2022 winter olympics in beijing. this is hard pill to swallow. i'm a massive sports fan. i do love the olympics. you're referencing china's human rights abuses as adversary to the united states and role in the coronavirus. it to me feels like athletes pay the price for any kind of boycott. what god would it do to boycott the olympics in china? >> preference that the international olympic committee move the olympics out of beijing. they have refused over a year now. 11 months out, will, we have no choice. how can we reward beijing, the chinese communist party with the global propaganda platform, and whitewash everything they have done to the world through corona and doing right now. genocide as we speak, slave labor, mass rape, mass torture in concentration camps. i can't see the american flag flying over the athletes.
3:21 am
the preference is to move it, if they don't move it we should boycott. will: that is the first place not reward these types of regimes. congressman michael waltz. will: thanks for being with us. >> will, see you soon. will: a couple of california high schools are open for students and the catch, one hour a week. our next guest is a parent in that district. she calls that a slap in the face. ♪

3:26 am
in-person per week. the saratoga union high school district a number of staff indicated they will not return to in-person learning until they reskief a vaccination or our county risk level were over. if we were to open and did not have a sig number of our staff we could not run our schools but our next guest says the school is a slap in the face to parents. joining me now is suzanne nester, a mom of three with a ninth grader in los gatos high school. they want to take it slow, practice being back in school for one hour. what is your reaction what is the reaction of other parents at the high school? >> good morning, rachel. thank you for having me. well i can tell you, parents, teachers, students alike are all very frustrated we know schools can open safely. it has been happening all over the country. they have masks,
3:27 am
special distancing, other safety measures. unfortunately the only way for us to mitigate risk to kids, get them on campus and do so properly. but one hour a week, as you said, a slap in the face. it's a ridiculous policy, when we've been remote for almost a year now. rachel: yeah. they have also said that they're only cautiously optimistic about reopening in the fall, that that would depend on whether children would be vaccinated, which is odd as well. tell me, how is it going for your child with zoom classes as well as you who are working from home? >> well, it is tough on the kids. it is extraordinarily tough. they are rapidly becoming despondent as we know across the country, seeing increasing rates of teen suicide and depression. i see despondency in my own children. i see difficulty getting work done. most importantly it is safe for
3:28 am
them to be on campus. we've seen it across the country. the studies show it is safe. unfortunately this agreement is hamstrung by the agreement with the union to not open until they have been vaccinated that agreement was entered into before they knew as much about the science and the vaccination. i think that agreement needs to modify and adjust with the evolution of the science. rachel: right. i couldn't agree more. have the parents organized in your school district to confront the union or the school board? >> yes. you know, we've reached out to the district many times to try to get collaboration with the parents to address the needs of the students. we had a rally last friday to express our displeasure with the fact that we were told that the kids would only get one hour a week for at least a month or longer. while they practiced doing in-person school. that is frustrating because we don't understand why they need so much practice. if you need a roll in period do it in a different way, perhaps
3:29 am
over one week's time. we don't, one hour a week is not going to cut it. it is not going to address the needs of the students. i discuss don't think it is necessary. rachel: yeah. i really feel your frustration, we're praying that everything works out for your school district, that your children can get back to school, you certainly make the case for educational freedom in my view because being beholden to the teachers unions and agreements when the science is evolving must indeed be frustrating. thank you for joining us this morning, telling us what is going on in california. >> thank you, rachel. if i could, just one other thing? rachel: sure. >> just to say that, one of the things that i think is really important to get across is that we're okay with the teachers getting vaccinated but our concern is this if you're going to prioritize that, it needs to be because they're actually getting in the classroom. so that is why we want them to be hybrid in march, at least two days a week, sooner, so they can get over into full time by

furthermore, think about it, there are not a lot of liberal events happening because they're terrified of covid this event is bringing money to this hotel. this is not for conservatives. this is the first convention i've really seen in the country. we're here. we're not scared. we're ready to get back to normal. i'm glad the hyatt is standing by us. but the cancel culture mob will come after anybody and everybody. they are usually very effective they have the coordinated pile-on. but thank goodness hyatt is standing up this is a model for period of time countries trying to be canceled, or canceling anybody for associations with conservatives. i hoe they look at this, this is great lead to follow. they love diversity of everything else on the left by opinion. pete: so true. immediacy of pressure in the moment. stand up with a basic common sense argument. everything is just fine after that. the mob moves up early for us. we look forward to watching your coverage on "fox nation." >> it will be a good day.

4:02 am
we were watching, pete, yesterday, not only you take the stage, governor of south dakota, kristi noem took the stage yesterday. she talked about what they did in south dakota, massive public pressure, mainstream media pressure, consensus of fashionable thought, not consensus of science, the word of doctor fauci, people like governor christie no, ma'am and governor ron desantis in florida stood strong and led their states well, balancing science, the pandemic and the economy and they should be getting credit, not those who are now enveloped in controversy like governor cuomo in new york. here is what kristi noem had to say yesterday. >> they labeled me as ill-informed. that i was reckless and even a denier. some even claimed that south dakota was as bad as it gets anywhere in the world when it comes to covid 19. that is a lie. the one point i appeared on
4:03 am
george stephanopoulos's sunday show. he asked cuomo to give me some advice on how to deal with covid. [laughter] now it seems like a really good time to remind governor cuomo was doing in new york. cuomo and his adm 50%. to make matters worse they tried to cover it up. that is the media's covid hero. and by the way, you know also earned an emmy. he wrote a book on his covid response. who really needed the advice? pete: so true. kristi noem is a rock star. she rocked it in the hall next to me here. actually she spoke about an hour after i did. i had a chance to run into her backstage. i was there with my daughter gwen, my wife jen. she could not have been nicer.
4:04 am
she was about to speak in the huge hall. she took time to chat with us. what you can tell she had, in addition to grace and kindness, a reservoir of common sense. she stood there as a governor, i will put faith in my people. i will listen to scientists and do the right thing, but honestly, you're free citizens. i will allow you to make choices for yourself. i respect you. that kind of respect for citizens and average people that someone like kristi noem has. someone like governor ron desantis down in florida has, which has never been the case for lockdown governors-like newsom, like cuomo, like whitmer who condescend to the masses out there who not allowed to open businesses or go to church. kristi noem is shining example of courageous leadership based on common sense throughout this covid-19 moment. she is being rewarded and rightfully so for having the courage in those moments. turn about, interesting, rachel,

feels. once we get that, go from sympathy from other people to empathy. we make a big change. i see that happening in a big way. excited about what is happening, new class is coming in, american people -- pete meet a lot. pete: a lot of fights on capitol hill. >> we're not going to be able to stop them but slow down them. the message they're going so far to the left, that american people are seeing where they are. they are doing us a big contrast. with a uplifting, moving forward to a party that is dark. we're not into the dark part. pete: charlie, the congressman mentions dark. a month into the biden administration. you can expect cpac to have a dour feel to it. it feels the opposite. give me a sense of your take. >> exactly what the congressman just said. that contrast, joe biden, democrats are laying it out, this is what republicans, what
4:36 am
conservatives stand for and that's what they stand for and it is kind of crazy. and i also take, i think democrats kind of realized they might have a two year window, they will try to jam it all in. the more they try to do that, the worse they look. and the more, you know, a lot of these issues like do we have a border or not. that is not a 50-50 issue. that is 80-20 issue. if they want to remind the american people that republicans, the new conservative agenda that i think president trump very much is responsible for, that he developed, this is an 80% platform, open the border, invite caravans back to the bothered. invite, recreate the situation where you have to put children, separate children from their parents at the border, let those footage come out under a biden administration that is great for republicans in terms of politics. pete: can't put pipelines and
4:37 am
send jobs elsewhere, let people deal with the consequences. the media wants to pretend there is some sort of civil war going on with conservatives. what do you see? especially the former president carrying the man tell of the republican party? >> the genie is out of the bottle. we understand make america great is what we're all about. i don't care what side of the aisle or what color. we need a specific message is. very simple. we want our economy back. people want to go to work. want to insure all kids back in schools, now quality schools. we have that conversation. we want people to have the vaccine, get us back to normal, instead of putting folks as a priority coming through the border. it is such a easy message. it will resonate across the board. it will help us to make 2022 a good one. pete: charlie, really good, president speaking today, what do you expect him to say? 20 minutes before that the straw poll is coming out.

increase the older the child gets. the adolescent range tends to have more of a role in the transmissibility. i agree with what you're saying here, rachel but it is important to test vaccines in children, especially if children need vaccines in the latin and black communities. they are disproportionately affected by covid-19 than other population and comorbidities, lung disease, are more adversely affected by the viral infection. it's a slippery slope. we want to make sure there is vaccine available for children at high-risk. we want to make sure it is weaponized and unlikely to harm the majority of children who get the infection. rachel: definitely health freedom is a bipartisan issue. that is great information. i want to talk to you really quick about a side effect of the covid vaccine that actually mimics breast cancer. i know you want to talk about that. that and be pretty scary. get the vaccine, you think you

[cheers and applause] pete: we begin this hour of "fox & friends," sunday edition, with a look at cpac in orlando, florida. today former president trump will take the stage for his first address since leaving the white house. rachel: fox news received an excerpt reading, quote: we are not starting new parties, and we will not be dividing our power and our strength. instead we will be united and strong like never if before. will: that's a fascinating excerpt considering we had heard reports there could be some interest in a third party formation from president trump. instead, what we hear there is, no, a single party unified and strong. he's also expected to make a scathing review of president biden's first month in office and give, as you heard there, this patway for republicans --
5:02 am
pathway for republicans to retake congress in 2022. pete hegseth, will cain, rachel campos-duffy with you this morning. it is one of unity and strength and not one of any kind of formation of a new party. i think that is, that is somewhat news-breaking, pete. pete: it is, you know, because we'd heard those rumors before. having been here now for three, four days, that is exactly the feel as i wave to people walking by the booth, exactly the feel you have. it's a joyous feel, it's a united feel, it's a patriotic feel, and it's a reflection, i think, of love for a leader who led with america first and lost in an election but is ultimately willing to carry that mantel. you heard it from the stage yesterday with the clips we just plaid, you're going to hear it today. you can watch it all, by the way, on fox nation, every single speech on fox nation is there
5:03 am
and cataloged including mine which i did yesterday which is on there. we've had guests all morning long talking about the feel here at cpac, the future of the conservative movement and what to expect from president trump when he takes the stage later today. here's a portion of what all those bests said this morning. >> it's cpac, but this is trump pac, make no mistake. people are excited about america first, they're excited about freedom, all the things they've been excited about for years, but there's no doubt of the excitement of president trump. >> i don't care a what color, we all want to have a feeling. >> president trump is not going anywhere. the love for him among people here is not going anywhere, and i think that president trump is going to talk about his agenda and talk about how that agenda was a great agenda for the past four years, and it's a great agenda for the future as far as we can see. rachel: well, again, pete,
5:04 am
congratulations on your speech. if you haven't are seen pete's speech, it's worth going back and watching, go on to fox nation. it is amazing speech that will get you just pumped up for the conservative movement. will, you talked about that quote being remarkable. i agree, it's remarkable, but it's also kind of unremarkable. i think the reason why this party is going to be united is because the other side, the liz cheney side of the party that the media is trying to hype up is minuscule, it's tiny. she can't even get -- 11% support among republicans in her own state. so this is the trump party. the fight would be on if she had, she and people like her had a bigger force behind them, but there isn't. the trump movement is a people-powered movement. everything that could be thrown in, donald trump and his ideas that scare the heck out of everyone in part and power, they just are moving on because it
5:05 am
worked, people saw that it worked. and, yes, he's a bigger than life figure, but this is not a cult of personality as they're trying to say. this is america first, this is economic nationalism. that's what people want, and that's what donald trump is delivering on. and i think that that's why you see this united -- it's not left versus right, it's insiders versus outsiders, and trump is the ultimate outsider. will: in the short term hear donald trump's longer term vision for the party. but in the immediate path, joe biden has pushed for his $1.9 trillion relief bill. it happened in the middle of the night friday night, and he's saying, now, now. talk about short term, now is the time to pass this $1.9 trillion bill. listen to this. >> now the bill moves to the united states senate where i hope it will receive quick action. i have -- we have no time to waste.
5:06 am
if we act now decisively, quickly and boldly, we can finally get ahead of this virus, we can finally get our economy moving again, and the people of this country have suffered far too much for too long. >> you know, this is a fascinating discussion about the push to really get $1.9 trillion through congress. you know, rachel, you and i have that had a conversation a few weeks a ago about whether republicans should be behind the checks that donald trump championed at that time, and i remember our conversation focusing on those who need it and whether or not republicans should be into something like that. i believe, and i believe you do as well, there's this great reshuffling about what the republican party should stand for going forward. i will give you this, rachel, and i think you deserve this point, in times of emergency others will use that situation to extend into the indefinite future whatever it is they want
5:07 am
to relieve. in other words, more spending, more government help off into the indefinite future. and whether or not that's more power for dr. fauci, more father father -- power for governors, when have we arrived at self-sufficiency, self-reliance, when are we healed from the covid pandemic? otherwise the other party, others will capitalize on this forever to push through their vision and their spending, pete. pete: no, it's a good point. we're going to get to that in a moment as well. the longer the dark winter continues, the more the justification they have -- will: right. pete: -- for the crisis, which expose z what they really believe. we played another clip earlier in the future that featured gavin newsom, andrew cuomo and gretchen whitmer for their failures. they also had a take last night on weekend update about the passage of this bill in the
5:08 am
middle of the night. listen to "saturday night live." >> just like me when i'm drunk, congress decided to spend a bunnen of money at 2:30 in the morning. [laughter] republicans are calling it a liberal wish list but, i don't know, i think a liberal wish list would be avocado toast with chrissy teigen, free college for pets and a hip-hop musical about anderson cooper starring lin-manuel miranda. [laughter] pete: no doubt. subsidized as well. free college for pets might be next. it just might be, rachel. rachel: yeah, you know, it's really fun to watch the take on those liberals, but i always say nothing good happens at 2:30 in the morning, and when i saw what was in this bill, i thought it was like handing a credit card to a freshman who doesn't even think about when that bill is due. and, by the way, it is freshmen who will be paying that bill in years to come. here's what representative
5:09 am
michael walz of florida had to say about what's inside this bill. take a look. >> it's just a blue state bailout, will. it's going to states that have had lockdowns. those monies are now going to reward that behavior. we have $86 billion for union pension bailouts for mismanagement there, $34 billion to expand obamacare, $130 billion for schools which sounds great, we all want our schools open, but there is no way those monies can get down to the states, get out to the school districts, get into the schools and be spent in any reasonable amount of time. and keep in mind we still have a trillion dollars unspent from december when we passed the last, when we passed the last one. rachel: yeah. i mean, it's un-- it's remarkable. it's so much money they can't even spend it. and, by the way, the reason they want to do this at 2:30 in the morning is they want us to forget that many very, you know,
5:10 am
i havologists -- virologists, doctors, scientists have said in two months we should be reaching herd immunity. so they're trying to distract us from getting back to normal because what we want is for the economy to open, and we'd all be find. here's what "the new york post" editorial had to say. they said this is absurd. our leadership is nonstop pushing americans to get jazzed so we can all get on with our lives. perhaps it's just that normalcy makes it justify the rush to pass a $1.9 trillion relief bill filled with democrat pet projects. we'd rather not see cynical politics, but it's hard to see any other reason. he's denying that the pandemic's end is staring us in the face. will, isn't this spot on? will: absolutely. and this is what i was talking about just a moment -- this is the great question for our society, for our governance. when do we move from relief to it's just an excuse toes pass
5:11 am
through your ideological agenda item list? when are we back to normal, when are we trying to alleviate an emergency? and, pete, not to reiterate the point or hammer it in too deep, but whether or not we grant the power to governors or the word of dr. fauci or stimulus bills that rack up our government spending, that's the great question. when have we moved from helping people to really enacting somebody's political agenda? pete: hammer away, i could not agree more. and ultimately, if the dark winter continues longer and longer, it means that you really did start from that cold stop. there were no vaccines. trump gave us nothing. but if we actually remerging out of this, it means operation warp speed was a miraculous success, that he did arrive with a million advantage seens already in the -- vaccines already in the arms of people. this is a good thing. we should be cheerleading for normalcy and opening back up, yet you see they're clutching on

5:25 am
parton can authentically love america without embracing either side of the aisle. critics, who say the piece pushes a progressive type of attitude -- and i think they're right about that. and -- it comes after harrison was canceled by social media for defending a contestant who was accused of racist behavior. the show says that the veteran's hiatus is temporary. let's hope so. i'm on team harrison on this one. back to you, will. will: i do want to say congratulations to emmanuel. we've had many discussions and disagreements, but he's a genuinely good guy. all right, gop senators are demanding answers after amazonning removed a best selling book on transgender issues. in a letter addressed to ceo jeff bezos, they argue: by removing this book from its marketplace and services, amazon has unabashedly wielded its
5:26 am
outsized market share to silence an important voice. amazon has openly signaled to conservative americans that their views are not welcome on its platforms. the author of that book, ryan anderson, when harry became sally, joins me now. ryan, good morning to you. so let's start with what amazon has told you. i understand they said it violates your book -- after three years, by the way, of being in the marketplace -- their content guidelines. how exactly does your book violate their content guidelines? >> well, they won't tell us. all they will say is after three years of selling the book, somehow now it violates the content policy. they won't tell us which aspect, which page of the book commits the offense. so we have no way of knowing what they now find objectionable about the book, you know, three years after the fact. will: but you and i can guess, can't we, ryan? the in other words, your book is about transgender issues, you
5:27 am
bring to light many of the issues behind this movement. and the truth of the matter is what's fashionable, what's acceptable in, quote, main stream pop culture is an ever shifting target. isn't that probably the trap you got caught in? >> i think that's the worry here, that, you know, this book was, you know, compassionately argued, it was rigorously argued in terms of facts and figures. it has the science, the medicine, the philosophy, the law. it was endorsed by a who's who of medical experts and legal experts. and the guess that i had is that amazon just disagrees with the bottom line conclusion, right? the it's not how you say it, it's not how you defend it, it's that if you go against political correctness even if the book is actually correct, they're going to silence it. will: right. >> and this is going to harm all those parents who need to know the truth about what's in the best interest of a child who struggles with a gender identity conflict.
5:28 am
will: amazon said: as a bookseller we provide our customers with access to a variety of viewpoints including some books that customers may find objectionable. that said, we reserve the right to not sell certain content. all retailers make decisions about what selections they choose to offer, and we do not take the selection decisions lightly. just to illustrate, ryan, the effect this has on your book sales, and more importantly even -- with all due respect -- on the marketplace of ideas, this is the control that amazon has. 53% of all books sold in the united states are from amazon, 80% of all e-books. you pointed out they just disagree with your conclusion, well, that determines what most people have access to. >> that's exactly right. look, for hi book because, you know, i'm prominent enough that i can go on your tv show, people have heard about it, they'll buy it from barnes & noble, other retailers. what really matters is all of the future authors who just
5:29 am
won't write a book telling the truth about this topic, all the publishers who won't publish a book out of fear that if amazon deplatforms them, their book sales will tank. this has a chill whiching effect on the entire industry, authors, publishers and ultimately readers. you won't even know which books have been deplatformed, which books never get written and published in the first place because of it. will: i'm familiar with your book, ryan, known about you for a long time. i know this book was a best seller for three years, and i think it's illustrative of what's going on everywhere. not just on amazon, obviously, but fewer and fewer ideas being exposed to the free marketplace of ideas. ryan, thanks for being with us this morning. >> thank you. will: you bet. all right. the energy is high in the sunshine state today as former president trump prepares to give his first address since leaving office on day four of cpac. former trump campaign senior adviser corey lewandowski joins us live from orlando with a

5:36 am
good at coming off the teleprompter. [laughter] and that's what people love about donald trump. they talked about it during the campaign. most of these politicians can read a teleprompter, they have know motion, don't even know what they're saying. donald trump is best, in my opinion, when he's just talking to the american people about his vision. that that's what helped him be successful in the '16 cam main. i always think he's -- campaign. i always think he's best when he's talking to the people. you're going to see some very common themes about what he was able to achieve in the four years that he was president and what he wants to do over the next four years told. pete: moments ago, a portion, an excerpt of the speech was released from donald trump. here's a portion of what we believe he'll be saying today. we are not starting new parties, and we will not be dividing our power and our strength. instead, we will be united and strong like never before. i guess you could say that makes some news because there was the rumors of would there be a third party. looks like he's going fastball down the middle.
5:37 am
is he looking at 2024? >> whiled you start a third party when you're the head of the republican party? [laughter] this notion that he's going to start a third party is total fake news, okay? he's never wanted to do that. he has been the head of the republican party. he's the most important endorsement for any republican runnin to take back the house and the senate in 2022 because that's the fist mission. we believe -- first mission. we believe that mitch mcconnell and kevin mccarthy have a better opportunity to lead our country than chuck schumer and nancy pelosi respectively. now, we may have a different way to -- pete: some ruffles with mitch mcconnell as well. >> if you have to choose mitch mcconnell or chuck schumer, who are you going to pick? we want the republicans in the majority, and the president's going to have a big say in how that that happens in 2022. we may not agree agree with all

6:01 am
charlotte bennett said he never touched her but did ask inappropriate questions and made it clear that he wanted to have a more intimate relationship with her. cuomo denies the claims and has asked for an independent review. pete, this is -- will says hello. hello? will: good morning. good morning. i'm here, good morning. welcome to "fox & friends." will cain. i'm here at well, rachel. rachel: we had to reboot a little bit. will: nice to see you. good morning to you all. pete: good morning. we can let everybody behind the scenes -- exactly, we can let everybody know, will had a delay, we had it fixed. we didn't know if will would be here. will showed up. rachel didn't know he was going to be here. now we're all here. now will can take it away. i had to clarify that. will: i'm sure we're still working through a few kinks. what's fascinating with what went down yesterday at cpac is an a illustration of action and
6:02 am
leadership versus an illustration in artificial celebration. as we're talking about this morning, as the mounting scandal around new york governor andrew cuomo swirls, we see governors like ron de santis in florida and south dakota's governor take the stage and highlight their actions through one of the biggest shakeups not just in our economy but our society in years. i want you to listen to governor kristy nome of south dakota. >> they labeled me as ill-informed, that i was reckless and even a defire. some even claimed that -- defire. some claimed that south dakota was as bad as it gets anywhere in the world when it comes to covid-19. that is a lie. at one point i appeared on george stephanopoulos' sunday show. he asked cuomo to give me some advice on how to deal with with
6:03 am
covid. [laughter] >> now seems like a really good time to remind everyone of what governor cuomo was doing in new york. cuomo and his administration significantly under-counted the number of covid related deaths in nursing homes by as much as 50%. to make matters worse, they tried to cover it up. now, that, that is the media's covid hero. and by the way, you know, he also earned an emmy. and he wrote a book on his covid response. so who really needed the advice? will: kristie nome is a rock star not just on stage but her courageous governance in south dakota. i had a chance to meet her. couldn't have been a more wonderful, kind person, oozing common sense, the kind of common sense you want from leaders in difficult times when you don't necessarily know the right answer but you put faith in people. you trust them to make responsible decisions for themselves. you don't grab the power and the
6:04 am
control for the sake of it. you use that common sense.uomo e he was the best leader we've seen in covid-19. turns out he's covering it up and the scandals are mounting up. we mentioned it all morning, the contrasts that are clear here at cpac. you have the contrast of covid, of andrew cuomo, gavin newsom, versus someone like kristie nome and you have the contrast of the first month of the biden add medicine vacation -- administration, how they've gone full pedal to the metal with the policies and it shows the american people what america first looked like versus what joe biden is doing and you're hearing that on the stage. by the way, cpac has kicked off, rachel. go to fox nation right now, you can catch some of the speeches. you can't turn the channel from here but you can do it on your smoam. smartphone. the ceo of goya foods i'm
6:05 am
looking at right in front of me. rachel: pete hegseth gave an amazing speech yesterday. make sure you get that as well and watch it. pretty inspiring stuff. how stupid must george stephanopoulos feel right now after saying that to cuomo? i mean, that was just the most delicious thing. she's such a midwesterner. she delivers it in such an understated way. she's a rock star. she was not just attacked for her policies. she was told she was letting people die. they smeared her so terribly. a weaker woman would have stepped back and been intimidated by what the media was throwing at her and she stood strong. she believed in common sense. she and many other conservative mayors and governors have done that and i think she's really an example of what to do and, will, we talked earlier about this

,this is a story about policy ad a media story because the media fueled cuomo up to be the hero of the story and this many months later it turns out he's the villain. .>> i hear you talking about te words, the phrase common sense. i think you're right. what i call it is leadership. leadership is a balancing of competing interests, it's making tough calls and decisions. when it came to covid it was balancing the interest of your economy, the freedom of your people against the threat of the pandemic. too many people outsourced their virtue to whatever they would deem as science, and trust me, it wasn't true science. it was popular consensus, quotation science. because they outsourced it, they could say, well, dr. fauci said instead of balancing competing interests. they got celebrated for that. here is seattle's mayor, jenny durkin. there's a glowing profile of her in the way she handled her covid
6:07 am
response. what about the competing interests, simultaneous stories about the chop zone, summer of loff comments. what about -- of love comments. what about all of that. here's the seattle times headline, after a year of the coronavirus, seattle mayor jenny durkin has no regrets but a few things she wishes she had known. it goes on to say the following. a year into the pandemic, durkin has no regrets about decisions she made or actions the city has taken. durkin who is not running for re-election, has about nine months left in office. her term has been at times been dominated by racial justice issues and a homeless crisis. the number one thing we have to do is vaccination, she says. outsource it pete. outsource your priorities and judgment. don't worry, the media has your back. pete: yeah. that is the opposite of leadership. she has no regrets but clearly the voters do.
6:08 am
she's not running for re-election for a reason. and this is classic the left. it doesn't matter what the results were. it matters that jenny from the block, she cared more than the republicans did, right. she loved everybody. it was going to be a summer of love. we understand everybody. who cares if there's an autonomous zone in my city and crime's out of control and i haven't balanced the competing interests that will, you're talking about so i shut everybody down, the tax paying citizens, their businesses are shut down. but i've got violent protests that i won't allow my police to address, all because i cared more, i have a better sense of how much you're supposed to care. therefore, i have no regrets, even if it hurts people. you hear the same thing from governor cuomo, because we cared more. we talked to a former seattle business owner who moved to arizona in large part because of the policies that jenny durkin pursued, earlier on the program on "fox & friends." here as what he had to say.
6:09 am
>> if you look at the facts of what happening in seattle, durkin killed livelihoods in our city, turned seattle into the third largest homeless population in our country. homicides are up by 61%. you know, during the summer of love, what she called it, she helped torch our city and push our terrific police chief, car carmen best out of her position. today, you've got about 160 downtown great restaurants that are gone permanently, will not be back. so the mass exodus of seattle is going on. rachel: he says that she just basically allowed the downtown area of seattle, which is beautiful, just to be destroyed. and so he's taking his business, at least part of it, back to -- he's going to arizona and lots of people are making these decisions during this pandemic. there's a huge exodus out of and they're not just going to florida for the sun. some people are moving to south
6:10 am
dakota. there's a housing boom there now where kristie nome put in place policies and an environment where people can live free. i think the human heart yes or s for freedom and the pandemic has revealed so much about what people want and how they want to live and the powers of government as will said that can get so out-of-control when we let them and they used this emergency to do that and so it's very interesting. we're going to talk more about this later on. i have to get to some headlines right now. police issue an arrest warrant for the suspect in the killing of a yale grad student keen shwan pan is wanted for the murder. he is considered armed and dangerous. the fda approved johnson & johnson's covid vaccine for emergency use.

6:12 am
[laughter] will: rachel, you love top gun but you clearly don't love it as much as that guy. rachel: no, no, that's for sure. will: a month of legos, staring at a tv screen, matching it perfectly? i think we need a -- it was a great product, i will say. amazing.

past the pain of psoriasis. >> day four of cpac kicking off today in orlando and former president donald trump will take the stage this afternoon in a highly anticipated closing address, his first speech since leaving the white house and larry kudlow, the host of kudlow, on fox business joins me now on what we can expect, larry, thanks so much for being here and congrats on your show, fox business, 4:00. great to have you in the family. before we get to the president's speech, you're talking at 10:15 as well. what are you talking about today. >> i'm going to give a super boring speech. >> come on. >> because i want to correct the record on the achievements and legacies of president donald trump. i want to talk about the tax cuts and the deregulation and the energy and china and warp speed, with -- this is why it's
6:17 am
boring -- with facts. democrats, biden attack us, tax cuts for the rich, you know the story. it's all nonsense. it's fact-free. i'm going to take a few minutes to show you why inequality came down, poverty came down, unemployment came down, minority unemployment record lows. two recoveries, one pre-pandemic and now one still in the pandemic. those are potus' achievements and i want to make that clear, and yes, i'm going to use facts. i can't help myself. >> that is one thing larry kudlow is not, and that is boring. if you want to catch that on fox nation, it will be live streamed. everyone it waiting for the president. what do you expect he'll say? >> i spoke to him yesterday morning. he sounded great. he's in a great space. a really good space which is pleasing to no end. we talked about various things that i never repeat.
6:18 am
i think he will emphasize this policies, why they worked and why the obama -- why the biden policies don't work. and i think -- i encouraged him to talk about operation warp speed because the bidens are essentially lying. they say they had no vaccines when they came into office. that is a total falsehood. >> that is the one that gets me every time. >> total falsehood. here's a quick anecdote. biden celebrated 50 million vaccines last week. i congratulated him. we went back and looked, 50 million, 37 days, 1.35 million vaccines per day. it turns out on inauguration day and prior, potus gave him 1.3 million. all right. so don't tell us we didn't have anything. and warp speed is one of the greatest achievements in history. i know the president's going to mention that and i know he's going to be critical of their open border immigration
6:19 am
policies, we're losing safety which affects the covid story. i won't go further than that. i think it will be a substantive speech ands he's going to try to chart a future for the gop. >> corey lewandowski said you better have your seat belts ready. what's your take-away of the feel of cpac, the conservative movement, where it is right now. >> it's great that cpac came to florida so we could have cpac, very important, as a rallying cry. much better than zoom. second, i have the through the republican party and the conservatives are not split down the middle. >> i think you're right. >> when we look at key points, again, taxes and regulations and energy and national security and the covid and warp speed, i don't see that. i think there's a lot of unanimity on chief policies to grow the economy and i think our party is really basing itself now on the american worker, the
6:20 am
blue collar boom worker, people of opportunity. we'll let the democrats have wall street and the silicon valley and the country clubs. we've become the party of the american worker, american worker first under donald trump. now, i think that is a unifying message and i think the president's probably going to make it clear. >> you were one of the people in the white house putting that worker first and we're grateful for you. we're grateful to have you on fox business, kudlow every day at 4:00 p.m. today at 10:15 on the main stage. straight ahead, parents and students stage a sit-in protest demanding schools open five days a week. one family fighting to get back in the classroom joins us live, next.

school district this week, calling on officials to reopen schools for in-person five days a week. our next guest took part in that sit-in. let's bring in kristin patterson, moderator of the reopen shareholder look schools, along with her four children, ashton, a junior, caden, an eighth grader at shareholder look junior high school, london, a sixth grader at walnut elementary school and reagan who is in the fourth grade. first of all, beautiful family. what is the junior high and four days for elementary? why are they not opening full-time? >> thank you for having us on. we appreciate it. as far as the reason for the limited schedule for the 7-12 is -- we were told that it was due
6:26 am
to county restrictions, county public health restrictions that they said are different than the state's. rachel: is that the same for schools surrounding you or is your school unique in this type of schedule? >> there are other schools that are currently in our same county that are open for a full schedule. there are other schools that are open in surrounding counties, five minutes, 15 minutes away from us, that are full days, that have been full days since -- or at least hybrid since the end of last year. rachel: i have a big family just like you, and you can't imagine trying to manage all these different -- you have some in junior high, some in elementary, who is going where, who is on a zoom call. it sounds so complicated. i'm wondering if people running the school districts understand the pressure they're putting on families.
6:27 am
you kids staged a sit-in. how did the sit-in go, caden? >> the sit-in went great. we got to talk with a lot of people and interact in person and it was just overall fun. rachel: and have you, kirstin, heard anything back from the district in response to the sit-in? any type of indication that they might be reconsidering based on parental pressure? or child pressure in this case. [laughter] >> i haven't personally heard back from them. however, they have adjusted some schedules and have made those you announcements but i haven't personally heard back but there have been some changes to some future schedules tentatively. rachel: kids, if you could talk to the people making the decisions in your school district about why you want to go back to five days a week of
6:28 am
school, tell me what you would say to them. >> well, one thing i miss the most about school is the social interaction with teachers and other fellow students and also a big reason why i want to go back is sports and for some people sports is their lives in high school and that's why i really want to go back. rachel: yeah. well, kids are missing out on so much and maybe the silver lining in this is that children will start to really appreciate what a gift it is to go to public education and to have the schools open. kirstin, thanks for sharing your story and your beautiful family with us. we pray you get back to school and sports and activities and friends soon. i have to read a statement from the sherlock district, they say to you as we look forward to being in the red tier soon, so we can begin returning students to campus in a manner that alliance to california

fellow governors. people yell at them about their policies and they yell at me, get her. that's life. >> can you imagine that? democratic governors like gavin newsom, andrew cuomo and gretchen whitmer the target of comedy on saturday night live. it must be an indication of something, some movement. rachel: they're still not going after fauci which is interesting. >> fox news contributor, columnist joe concha is here, he can break down what it means. we talked about this throughout the morning. it's kind of surprising to see saturday night live go after democrats. let's be real. they don't do that very often. what does it mean for the individual stories of the democratic governors? >> oh, it means that they've lost the narrative, right, and once they're getting hit by saturday night live, that's when you know you're in major trouble. i've loved snl going back to belushi, eddie murphy, chris

6:36 am
grenell was on the stage in cpac. he was asked by foxnews.com if he's considering running against gavin newsom. here's what he had to say. >> gavin newsom is literally -- has literally just mismanaged the state. he wasn't qualified to be a manager. we've seen it over and over with a lot of different issues and the people in california, they're frustrated with the fact that wealthy people are jumping the vaccine line, that out of 50 states there's one state that still doesn't have churches open, gyms open or eating inside and that's california. >> and if there's a recall election, will you run? >> first of all, we have to concentrate on the recall. we're not there yet. >> so no -- thanks so much. [laughter] >> you're a professional at reading through the media. is there an announcement set today followed by a smile? what do you think? >> yeah, pete, he's running.
6:37 am
no he question about it. ric, i've met him. a very articulate guy, great teeth, they don't get discussed enough. people talk about oh, how a republican can never win in california. i remember a guy named arnold schwarzenegger, he won and won re-election within the last 10 years. the congressional races in 2020, four republicans flipped seats including two in orange county. when your leading politicians in california are pelosi and schiff and swalwell and newsom, it's easy to make a counter argument, when you talk about how horrible covid has been handled, how manylessness, crime is -- homelessness, crime is skyrocketing, ric grenell has a compelling argument and name recognition. if he's tied to the trump brand, is that a bad thing? donald trump only got 35% of the vote in that state or can he separate himself as his own man and run on the issues that he
6:38 am
talked about. this is a test of the trump brand. it works in florida and red states. let's see if it works in a blue state like california if rick ricgrenell does run and, yeah, e is running. rachel: i want to switch gears. last year at the golden globes rickey gervais went after hollywood really hard, he called them out on china and how they kowtowed to them, called them out on hypocrisy. i want you to hear what at thisy said the golden globes will be like this year. >> i don't think you can expect as much politics from it at all. we talked about can we make it a fun hangout for people at home, where they're enjoying something live that's a stress reliever. it doesn't feel like it's the screen you'd for plight -- venue
6:39 am
for political jokes. thank god. rachel: are we looking at hollywood so much egg on their face because they supported cuomo or are they taking the temperature of the american people, saying we have a year of politicians telling them what to do and they're sick of it and they don't want to be lectured to by hollywood for two and-a-half hours of the golden globes. >> where was this the last five years? not a political venue? that's all it's been. it's been a trump bashing session. maybe we don't want to do that anymore, tina fey says, it's a politics-free zone. gee, i wonder what changed. here's a stat for you. after the 2018 election, 87% of americans really thought that sarah palin could see russia from her house because of tina fey's incredible imitation of palin. tina fey who has political humor for her career now isn't going
6:40 am
to do any more politics. by the way, have you heard of the nominations this year? because best picture, i've never heard of these movies let alone seen them. the father nomad land, promising young woman, the trial of the chicago seven. these are the best picture nominations? it's going to be a real fun show, huh? >> can't wait. >> can't wait. joe concha with his stat of the day, maybe that's your new thing. you'll have to have one next time as well. thank you very much. rachel: thank you, joe. >> let's toss it out now to rick reichmuth and his snazzy new haircut which we love sincerely. [laughter] >> you're full of it, pete. all right. here you go. we've got some storms today across parts of the -- kind of mid-mississippi valley, ohio valley, heavy rain falling onstn
6:41 am
saturated ground. we'll also watch for the threat of severe weather, including possibly a tornado or two. we're getting into that season as we head into spring for tornado weather so one of those days is today, need to be watching for it and getting your preparations ready for when we get into severe weather season. we have another front across parts of the north, across northern wisconsin and the up of michigan throughout the day today. over the next couple days, most of our precipitation is going to be parts of the south, areas of louisiana, texas and parts of the ohio valley. that's where we look for flooding, it's going to plague us for the start of the coming week. so we're going to watch that. temperature-wise, these temps across the southeast are really warm. we'll break high temperature records for the day today. tomorrow, a little bit of a cooldown with a front moving in and little cooler air moving in across parts of the northern plains. over the next few days, temps feeling a little bit like spring. it's going to have spring fever almost everywhere. guys, back to you. >> that is beautiful to hear,

6:48 am
hearing the clip tells a different story. maria: it really does. i was so struck when i was there, hearing from these two girls, right in front of me who i watched cross the border alone. and it's just a really important example of how children are being put in incredibly dangerous positions because their families think that they can just put them there and get them over the border and it will be fine. but before they get to the border, they have to face the shakedown artists, these cartels who shake them down for money, who knows what else they're doing, to children and women. it's very scary and it is one of the key reasons that american officials have been trying to say do not send your kids to the border, it's an incredibly dangerous situation and you do not want to have them unaccompanied. but that is exactly what's happening and of course that led to these facilities that the u.s. needed to put up to put these unaccompanied minors they get processed.
6:49 am
