[cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ ainsley: well, yesterday afternoon we got to hear from the former president for the first time since the inauguration. we herald that god bless the usa song and knew he was about to take the stage, and pete hegseth, he was down there, and he said it was like seeing an old friend. brian: right. this is probably the longest gap we've had in five years without seeing the president of the united states whether it's a phone call or whether it's a tweet. we have not heard much from him.

a few statements, tiger's accident, of course, rush limbaugh's passing, he's come out and commented on that. but to see his speech that lasted for an hour i thought was pretty effective, and i thought one of the greatest assets for the president was what joe biden's done for the first month. he could say look what he's done as compared to what i did. steve: well, on friday when we were playing the fox bet super 6 game with tom shillue, one of the questions was how long would his speech be. and the final guess was choice e, was more than 45 minutes. if you picked that, you were a winner because he went way north of that. it was a stem winder, and as it turns out, there will be no patriot party. he's not going to start another party on his own, he's going to go ahead and try to unify the republicans. if you missed it, it was over an hour, it was entertaining, and

this is how the former president started the first speech he made after leaving the white house. >> do you miss me yet? do you miss me? [cheers and applause] i stand before you today to declare that the incredible journey we've begun together -- we went through a journey like nobody else. there's never been a journey like it, there's never been a journey so successful. [cheers and applause] we began it together four years ago, and it is far from being over. [cheers and applause] we're not starting new parties. you know, they kept saying he's going to start a brand new party. we have the republican party. it's going to unite and be stronger than ever before. i am not starting a new party. [cheers and applause] that was fake news. already the biden administration

has proven that they are anti-jobs, anti-family, anti-borders, anti-energy, anti-women and anti-science. [applause] in just one short month, we have gone from america first to america last. there is no better example than the new and horrible crisis on our southern border. when i left office just six weeks ago, we had created the most secure border in u.s. history. it's been incredible and little sections of it to complete, they don't want to complete it. but it's had an impact that nobody would have even believed. it's amazing considering that the democrats' number one priority was to make sure that the wall would never, ever get built, would never, ever happen, would never get financed. we got it financed. we ended catch and release, ended asylum fraud -- [applause] and brought illegal crossings to

historic lows. ainsley: that was just a taste. he talked a lot about the border problems and how president biden has reversed what president trump did, and he mentioned something to the effect of you can't go -- americans can't go to local restaurants with their families, yet joe biden is allowing thousands of refugees to come across the border. brian: and go to school. and get kids back in school was another big theme. cancel culture for the four straight days another big theme. and i also thought the president was so smart not to go after -- besides mentioning, you know, mitch mcconnell and the problems he had with people who voted for impeachment, liz cheney, he doesn't focus on it because he knows i think on every level that if you break up the republican party, they have no shot of being successful, and that a works against his interests especially if he wants to run again which according to the "wall street journal" aides have said he will not make a

decision until after 2022. i thought it was good. he looked happy, he looked -- i thought he was very upbeat, i thought he looked thinner. i thought he enjoyed every second of it, but the guy who was there, most importantly, was pete hegseth. and i'll take what i saw from television and put that to second place to what pete saw up close and personal. pete, did he seem to have a bounce in his step yesterday? pete: bigtime, brian. usually the sunday of cpac would be a ghost town. instead it was, he was an hour later than everyone expected. the room was packed, and he -- it really was that feeling. when he said miss me yet? it was genuine. you could tell he enjoyed being there with the group, and the feeling was very much mutual many that room, the anticipation. this is the party of donald trump. he knows it, the crowd knows it, the polling confirms that. i know you're going to have jim mcloughlin on the show shortly after this. and there's genuine frustration

with what's happened over the last month with the biden administration, the total reversal of policies. the people in that room love -- but there was no sense that the fight is over. and the former president said our work is unfinished, and whether he's the nominee or the kingmaker, everyone in the room feels like that america first agenda which he had to fight to make the agenda of the republican party, is the claire oncall of the modern working class blue collar republican party, and everyone in the room knows it. steve: and everybody in the room wonders what is next. will he be the kingmaker or will he be the king? you say it's going to be a little while before he decides. ainsley, to your point about joe biden and the southern border, our producers scrambled, we found the sound bite, here he is. watch. >> joe biden has hat had the most -- has that had the most disastrous first month of any president in modern history. they are providing to migrant children on the border while at the same time millions of american children are having

their futures destroyed by joe biden's anti-science school closures. the only reason that most parents do not have that choice is because joe biden sold out america's children to teachers unions -- to the teachers unions. what the biden administration is doing to push young migrants into the hands of human traffickers and coyotes is dangerous, immoral and indefensible. hard to believe it's happening. biden has failed at his number one duty as chief executive, enforcing america's laws. [applause] this alone should be reason enough for democrats to suffer withering losses in the midterms and to lose the white house -- [cheers and applause] decisively four years from now. [cheers and applause] steve: and, pete, that's what they wanted to hear. they wanted to hear there's the going to be a republican in the

big chair at the white house in four years. pete: he went on to say we may just have to beat them for the third time -- steve: because he won last time before they took it away from him. pete: there you go, exactly. everyone in the crowd got it right away. it was a lot about borders and back to school. getting the schools open. look at where cpac was, in orlando, because it's open. why is ron desantis so popular? e kept the state open. that was a huge statement. he also, a lot of frustration from the former president about joe biden trying to take credit for the vaccines. one of the other big applause lines was joe biden got his trump shot, and then president-elect biden got a shot before he was in the white house, who delivered that. so he corrected the record a lot. and, by the way, if you weren't watching the fox news channel, you didn't see the speech. ainsley: that's true. that's true. well, thank you so much, pete. you did a great job down there covering this for the fox news

channel -- pete: got it guys. ainsley: you can watch after cpac hosted by tomi lahren on fox nation today at noon eastern. fox nation is the ultimate streaming service featuring original programming, events and more with your favorite fox personalities. join today at foxnation.com. brian: meanwhile, but i think most of america has joined, but that was just a reminder. ten minutes after the hour. a key feature of cpac, the straw poll of attendee a gauges support for the republicans, the conservatives. steve: the ones who were in attendance. nearly 7 out of 10 of those polled at cpac said they want to see former president trump run again in 2024. ainsley: former trump campaign pollster jim mcloughlin conducted the cpac straw poll, and he joins us now with more. good morning. >> good morning. great to be here. ainsley: i don't think a lot of people are shocked by that.

most people i know at least at cpac, they were thrilled to see him up on the stage. tell me how you do this straw poll. how is it conducted? >> well, the way we do it is folks that register for cpac, and we've been doing it for about five, six years. and believe it or not, we used to do it 20, 30 years ago at various times. folks register, we give them a unique number, and they vote online. and, actually, we were covid-friendly this year. we used to do it with a kiosk and years ago we used to do it with paper. everybody was able to use their iphone, their ipad and their laptop this time. it was great. and another thing is, too, about a third of the registrants actuallien responded. we were surprised, over 1,000 people responded to the poll. brian: one of the questions you asked, if trump was running in 2024, who would you support as nominee? 55% say the president, second would be governor ron desantis.

4%, kristi noem of south dakota. 3%, nikki haley who recently went on the president's bad side with an interview that was kind of bizarre. 2% by senator ted cruz who was quite entertaining and self-depracating, senator rand paul and tucker carlson -- steve: what? brian: and tucker, i thought he would poll a little bit higher. steve: so did he. [laughter] brian: let's talk about the president. some people have noted they expected that number to be higher, in fact, that was the headline in the "new york times." were you expecting that number to be higher for the former president? >> that is just ridiculous because we had 20 candidates in there. the president had talked about whether or not he was going to run again, and not only is the president at 55%, you look at where ron desantis is at, in the 20s, and then you had kristi noem who was next, and it's nearly 80% right there were trump candidates. and you saw how closely both ron desantis and kristi noem, their speeches -- which were

very well received down there -- how they tied themselves to the president and the president's agenda. i was actually kind of amazed how strong the president was. and, look, he's got a 97% job approval rating. 97%. i mean, you can't get -- brian: with who, republicans? >> with the cpac registry. brian: okay. >> with the folks that were there, the conservative movement. great thing that he did was yesterday he did something nobody else has been able to do over the last couple of months in the republican party and the conservative movement, he united us, and if he energized us. it was electric in that room. steve: and, of course, kristi noem and ron desantis both governors of pretty much wide open states as opposed to governors on both of the coasts. one of the other questions you asked, if he's not going to run for president and instead tries to unify the republican party and is essentially a kingmaker, who would you support? and a gigantic plurality choose

florida governor ron desantis. he's got 43%, about four times what kristi noem does. ing don jr.'s at 8, about the same as mike pompeo and senator ted cruz. and now in this one tucker carlson got 3%. does that surprise you about ron desantis? it was in his state. >> yes. and that's one of the things to keep this mind, about 36% of the registrants were from florida. but you got to give -- one of the reasons why to ron desantis is popular with these folks as he is is because he's done what donald trump was doing at the national level, he's done it at the state level. and for a while there, ron desantis was getting attacked and people were saying he was doing it all wrong versus gavin newsom and andrew cuomo. we've all seen what's happened since then. he's kept his state open, he's done the right thing when it comes to the economy, when it comes to the covid lockdowns.

and, by the way, he's had the kids back in school since august. and that was one of the biggest applause lines that the president got in his speech last night, and it was all the women that got up right away. they were the ones that want the kids back in school because they know how important it is. steve: jim, ask you a question, how often has your polling been at c pac correct four years out in picking the next president? >> you know, it's usually not, believe it or not, because we're just reflecting what the people tell us there. and i can remember when president trump was actually running third behind ted cruz and marco rubio -- brian: he boycotted in 2016. >> -- during the early stages. we wouldn't call it a boycott, but he wasn't there. and that's why i think it was so important. the cpac folks did a wonderful job. i think, you know, the conservative movement needed cpac, the republican party needed cpac. i was talking to people from all over the world, people from asia, people from europe, they

understand the importance of a strong america and a strong conservative movement. and like i said, it was just -- i think it was something the country needed and the world needed. it was a great conference. ainsley: jim, thank you so much. thanks for coming on this early with us too. >> thank you. it was my pleasure. i'm going to go get some sleep now. [laughter] iowans apps you deserve it. thank you, jim. there's ashley stromeyer, i know you're filling in for jl can today -- jillian today. >> we begin headlines with extreme weather. some areas in kentucky seeing almost 5 inches of rain rendering many roads impassable. in tennessee emergency crews rescued five people including a baby. and today president biden is set to meet with the mexican president virtually. mexico's leader is expected to ask the u.s. for additional

♪ ♪ steve: all right. 6:23 here in the east. for the first time, new york governor andrew quo bow is acknowledging late yesterday his behavior. ainsley: carley shimkus joins us with the latest. >> good morning. cuomo attempting to explain his

workplace behavior amid a second sexual harassment claim releasing a statement saying in part: at work sometimes i am being playful and make jokes that i think are funny. i acknowledge some of the things i have said have been misinterpreted as unwanted flirtation. his statement coming after two former aides came forward with allegations against him. charlotte bennett saying the governor asked her questions about her sex life and if she ever had sex with older men. it comes days after lindsey boylan alleged cuomo kissed her without consent. house speaker nancy pelosi calling the allegations serious and credible. the governor formally referring an investigation to new york attorney general leticia james, his office first announcing the investigation would be handled by a judge of his choosing leading to intense criticism from top democrats. attorney general james says she will oversee a rigorous and independent investigation, one

with subpoena power. brian: thanks so much, appreciate it. and that is so true. and the thing i think that stands out most about these series of allegations is how many are coming from the left, how many people have come out, democrats, and said this has to be investigated from the statement from the new york assembly speaker to the statement from new york state lieutenant governor and aoc herself. i mayor dewhat's owe, that's expect -- de blasio, that's expected, but jerry nadler also saying it's deeply troubling. "the washington post" writes that they do not think he's going to last a year. so that's how serious this is. let's listen to some of the other people that have not come out against some of the allegations or chose not to speak out when they were very vocal when kavanaugh was having his trouble, and he had his allegations when his nomination was out. >> i believe her.

to testify in the united states senate against someone who's being nominated to one of the most powerful positions in the united states government? that tax an extraordinary amount of courage. >> i found her very credible. you have to ask yourself, why would anybody put themselves through this if they did not believe that they had important information? >> republicans are playing politics with the supreme court, and they are willing to step on anyone including the victim of a vicious sexual assault in order to advance their agenda. steve: so we have not yet heard from kamala harris, hillary clinton or senator elizabeth warren. if, per se, the governor is impeached, the way it would work is the state assembly would vote to impeach hem. the state senate would then have the trial, and jurors would include senators and members of the court of appeals, and, ainsley and brian, that is one of the reasons why yesterday one of the suggestions by cuomo's team was that they would have

the chief justice on the court of appeals go ahead and look into these allegations. and the attorney general said you've got to be kidding me, you can't do that. and they eventually agreed on the fact that the a.g. herself would be granted subpoena power to talk to anybody she wanted to. ainsley: yeah. they said you can't pick your judge, your jury. that's not their. that's why -- that's not fair. president biden, jen psaki was asked about it, and she said president biden believes that every woman should be heard, should be treated with respect and dignity, charlotte should be treated with respect and dignity, so should lindsey. brian: how the mighty have fallen. this guy wished he was going to be the nominee in 2020, and he might be attorney general for joe biden. and now he's lucky to hold on to his job at the end of the year, and there was a reporter that also came out and said his staff berated me into not being a

♪ ♪ steve: happening today, the third coronavirus vaccine from j&j will make its way to

distribution centers all across the country. what do we immediate to know about it? let's talk to one of our experts, fox news medical contributor and the author of the upcoming book called "panic attack," dr. nicole saphier joins us. good morning. >> morning, steve. steve: this really, this j&j vaccine is a game-changer, much like the astrazeneca advantage seening which has not been approved yet, just requires one shot. it's been approved for people over 18, and you don't have to keep it at a bazillion degrees below zero. >> that's right, steve. it's incredible news that we now have tree vaccine candidates with an eua, johnson & johnson has guaranteed about 4 million doses to be shipped out to states and pharmacies a alike this week, and as you mentioned, it's a single dose. and 28 days after that innext in the clinical trial there were zero hospitalizations and zero deaths. the ultimate goal is to save

lives and keep people out of the hospital. all three candidates were 100% effective after about a month to make sure that doesn't happen. so for me, when people ask, well, which vaccine should i get? the answer is if you want to stay out of the hospital, if you want to save your life, you take whichever vaccine is offered to you because that's going to be the right one. steve: that's exactly right. i had a conversation with somebody where it's like how do you know if they've got the moderna or the pfizer or the j&j, can you kind of shop around. you say just get it. because when you look at this graph, 66% effective against moderate, 85% effective against severe, but the key is 100% protection against dying from it if you have the j&j shot. >> well, that's right, steve. and one of the things i do want to mention, those are over 65 years of age, there's a natural process where elderly tend to

have less immune response to certain vaccines. pfizer and moderna both reported slightly less efficacy in those aged 65 and older. johnson & johnson also reported less immune response, even less than 50%. however, we don't really know the strength the of that data, and i think it was very flawed, and i really want to see some more data on it because, ultimately, all the vaccines do provide some form of immune response, and some form is always going to be better than nothing. steve: you know, you were talking about those over 65 and the number of people over 65 who are getting the vaccine is becoming a substantial number. and i read that dr. fauci yesterday said going forward when two fully immunized people are together face to face, you know, two weeks after the last shot or their j&j shot, they can take down the mask, they can let down the guard. and this is something that you have been talking about for a while. >> well, steve, i think it is so

important, and i'm so grateful that dr. fauci came forth and said this, because if you keep telling people even after the vaccine that they're not able to go out, people are going to stop getting the vaccine. so, yes, these vaccines have somewhat over 80% efficacy at decreasing of hospitalization and death, that's great news. you've already decreased their risk. you add two people with the vaccine, that risk is even more exceedingly low. i mean, ultimately, steve, this is what we have to do to move forward, and the more people with the vaccine, the more safe we're all going to be. steve: and to your point, i think that's what dr. fauci was saying. he said, essentially, you know, when you are around other people who have had the vaccine, you can let your guard down, you can bring down the mask. you don't have to be 12 feet away from somebody. so that encourages more people, you know what? it's probably worth getting the vaccine. >> that's right, steve. the more people who get the vaccine, the closer we are to herd um.

for republicans, a des moines a. fights for the -- a d.a. fights for the right of everybody and is concerned about the safety of the public. he's concerned about making chaos. he's concerned about not following the law. he's concerned about trying to make some sort of headlines. he does not care about victims at all. he's never been a prosecutor. he's never had to be in court and deal with a child who was raped or who was molested. he shows no empathy. he doesn't want to send d.a.s to parole hearings. he's making moms look at the pictures of their murdered sons. he doesn't care about police officers who are being killed, children who are being abused. brian: hey, john, now on the mechanics of the actual recall, i saw that rally and i saw those victims, mostly minority speakers are the ones we saw and of the rally the other day, so where are you at with the recall? how many signatures, what's the next step? >> so they started with the petition. the petition needs 20 signatures

from residents of los angeles county or registered voters. once that's done, they're going to serve that upon george gascon. once that's done within a certain time period, they're going to be able to pull papers and start getting signatures. and they need -- they are going to work very, very harold, and i completely support them, i completely support the victims, and i completely support the community. i've been doing this for 15 years, my wife's a police officer, i live here, my children live here. raising my children here, i am not leaving, and i'm going to stay here and keep fighting for everybody in this community and be the voice of all the voiceless. brian: right. and he's going to have the votes of murderers and sexual predators. hopefully, nobody else. and we see the back of his head soon. john hatami, thanks so much. >> no, thank you. brian: all right. we'll talk to you again. meanwhile, let's go upstairs to janice dean, or outside, to find out whats' happening. hey, janice.

janice: good morning, brian. we have this frontal boundary that's draped across the tennessee and mississippi valley, and that's where we're seeing the potential for heavy rainfall and flooding potential. over the weekend certainly brought portions of tennessee and kentucky, mississippi, and georgia, we saw a lot of heavy rain, and that's going to be the situation over the next 12 the-24 hours, another batch of run moves on -- rain moves in on tuesday and wednesday, so flash flooding is going to remain a concern. there's the forecast radar. so, again, that frontal boundary remains in place and the focus of all those showers and thunderstorms as we get into tuesday and wednesday, then things will clear out. and if i could end on a nice note, 19 days until spring, today is march 1st. so there you go, there's your sill e very lining. brian? brian: and what about tomorrow? what's tomorrow? janice: tomorrow my book comes out. "make your own sunshine." i can't wait to talk to you all about it. brian: absolutely. and, yeah, everyone's looking forward to it.

we need some good news. thanks, janice. all right. meanwhile, coming up straight ahead, a judge rules new york's covid curfew for restaurants has no basis in science. but the battle to reopen is not over. what's next in the fight for small business, next. ♪ take me home tonight. ♪ listen, honey, just like ronnie said

♪ ♪ ainsley: a group of western new york bar and restaurant owners scored a legal victory over the weekend to temporarily remove a curfew in place since november. a judge sided with the 90 owners of these restaurants in new york. they're suing new york. arguing that there was no scientific logic behind governor cuomo's 11 p.m. curfew. joining us now, don schwartz, the owner of rochester's wood-fired pizza and pasta the along with two members of the legal firm that are taking on the governor. thank you so much for being with us. >> good to be back. >> good morning. ainsley: i heard, don, you were on the show, is that right? what happened to you after you were on talking about that you needed to stay open? >> january 1st, new year's day

we were on the show, and then 24 hours later we had some liquor license issues with our second location. but, you know, thank god the good people stepped up and got that right in monroe county supreme court and got that reversed. ainsley: is that a coincidence? >> it seems very odd. leave it at that. ainsley: well, tell the folks at home what you're dealing with and about your restaurant. >> so it's obviously been a cat and mouse game. you know, we're almost hitting that one-year mark of the 10 days to flatten the curve. we're almost at that one-year mark. it's been cat and mouse game from the beginning and just getting information out of the state of what we can do. we reached out to hogan willing and got together with at first about 10 different restaurants mostly in the buffalo area.

we've almost had 100 total, and we've just let the law firm go after every little bit of stuff. months ago we were being red-lined where the city of rochester could not serve indoor dining, but you can go over to the suburbs, and you can sit down. so it was quite difficult to operate under those conditions. the law office went to battle for us and got that removed. the 10 p.m. curfew, as you said, just got removed for the 90 restaurants this weekend. so hopefully it's good for then clients. the state does follow right behind and make some changes, we're really hoping that happens and that happens quickly so the entire state the, western new york, rochester, our friends down in the bronx really hoping that everybody can get back to as close as we can to full dining and we can get our employees, get our staff back to work. that's really what we want to do. let us do what we do best, get back to work, provide a service,

provide jobs and provide some taxes back to the state which has got to be much needed at this point. ainsley: well, steve, i know this judge through your clients' a lifeline because he's saying those folks can stay open now til 4 a.m. can other restaurant owners jump into this lawsuit now so that they can also have that privilege? >> not yet. the ruling class of the 92 clients, restaurants and clubs that we represent, as far as adding themselves on, that would be awkward. and the reason for that is these hearings before judge josie walker, we've provided affidavits from our clients as to the covid-19 protocols, social distancing, hand sanitizer, face masks, that kind of thing, plexiglas barriers between tables. so if other people were to add their names now, his honor would not know whether or not they were complying --

ainsley: got it. >> -- so it would be audiocassette warred. we have 13 lawsuits out there already for various industries, and there is room for more. ainsley: right. james, what was your argument? when you look at the number, especially these restaurants in western new york where the numbers are not as bad as in the city, it just doesn't make sense, does it? >> no, it -- we found that really throughout the process of this with this governor and the way that he's behaved that littling has made sense. and thankfully from our -- ainsley: guys, i'm so sorry to interrupt you, we're going to black in 15 seconds, but thank you so much for coming on, thanks for representing these folks. >> thank you. ainsley: senator tom cotton coming ever monday has in store and tackle four things at once. so when her car got hit, she didn't worry. she simply filed a claim on her usaa app and said...

smartphone or their ipad. if former president trump were running in four years, who would you support, 55%, a majority, said donald trump. 21% said the governor of the great state of florida. everybody else was in single digits. let's bring in senator tom cotton from arkansas. he also spoke at cpac over this weekend. good morning to you. >> good morning, guys. steve: the big news, as ainsley said, there won't be a third party, no patriot party. he's going to try to unite the republican party. the big question is going forward, does he plan to run for president in 2024? because he said, yeah, maybe i'm going to have to win a third time. he referred to melania as the future first lady. but others are saying, you know what? maybe he just wants to be the kingmaker and not the king. >> well, steve, i thought the president turned in a very strong performance yesterday reminding a lot of his strongest supporters why they backed him

so strongly over the last six years. speaking about the america first agenda, highlighting joe biden's terrible immigration policies that's created a surge at our border of migrants trying to get into the country and halting all these deportations, standing up for our veterans, rebuilding our military. that was a thing not just of president trump's speech and my speech on friday and a lot of speakers all weekend long, those are things that anyone who attires to leadership in -- aspires to leadership in our party. rally behind as we get through the next set of elections. ainsley: what were the folks when you were there, their biggest concerns? gas prices have gone up, the keystone pipeline is no more, president biden got in office of and just started signing all these executive orders, and it's changed many lives as a result of that. also this covid relief bill, so much pork if is rammed into this thing. what were the people at cpac talking about? >> well, ainsley, in my speech

and the president's speech, some of the other speeches, one of the central concerns was immigration. president trump put america first when it came to immigration. he stopped illegal aliens at our border especially at the height of the pandemic, he put a preference for american workers getting american jobs rather than bringing in guest workers. that was a consistent theme of his speech, my speech and so many other speakers. a lot of ore concerns. as you said, people worried about the cost of living, worried about their jobs. they want all the country to be open again as case rates continue to fall and the vaccine becomes more widely available to all americans. those are allish issues on which the biden administration is getting a failing grade. brian: you know, it's interesting, senator, because i think these were quite obvious, disastrous. $1.9 trillion when 9% goes to the actual pandemic? if when you see what's happening at the border, 13,000 up accompanied minors? yet 6 out of 10 in a harris poll

give the president positive approval ratings, which i'm stunned by. let's focus on illegal immigration. what are they going to do? what is happening now at the border, let alone the wall that's stopped, the message that's being sent. they cannot handle all these people, and now they have to confront the fact that the things they criticized president trump on which is putting unaccompanied minors into facilities is exactly what they're in the middle of doing right now. and it's going to get worse. >> yeah. the facilities now, back in the trump area they were capables, of course. -- cages, obvious. this is entirely a crisis of joe biden's making. you cannot run a campaign saying that you're going to reinstitute catch and release, you're going to give free health care to illegal aliens and not expect a massive surge on our border. we already had thousands in february after texas just had one of the worst winter storms in memory. what do you think they think it's going to be like in 60 days when it's springtime in mexico

and south texas? the only thing that the biden administration can do is reverse this policy now. they can reinstitute the agreement we had negotiated with mexico, other latin american countries to keep migrants in their countries to let us adjudicate their asylum claims there, make it clear that we're going to turn people back at the border. you cannot show up at our border and come into the country. but what joe biden is doing, he's going to track down illegal aliens in mexico that donald trump turned away and invite them to come back. that's recruit and release. steve: yeah. one of the things that's going on up on capitol hill, as you well know, is it sounds like the senate democrats are going to get rid -- they're been working on a plan b because the parliamentarian told them, nope, under our rules because we have rules in your chamber, you cannot go ahead and try to jam through that $15 minimum wage business. so instead they came up with a plan b which would say that if

you're a big company, we're going to put a 5% tax on you if you don't pay people. here is the president speaking about the package of stimulus on saturday at the white house. >> 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. if we act now, decisively, quickly and boldly, we can finally get aheaded of this virus, we can finally get our economy moving again. the people of this country have suffered far too much for too long. steve: okay. so where are we with this? >> well, steve, one reason i think joe biden thinks there's no time to waste is that democrats can see cases have plummeted since early january. we now have threefective vaccines, and vaccination rates are surging, so i think they're worried they won't have the excuse to pay off all their clients and pay. terrors. less than a dime of every dollar goes to coronavirus.

take a look. $350 billion for states that are poorly run and that have longstanding problems but didn't even lose money because of the coronavirus, places like california and new york. $130 billion for schools but only a nickel of each dollar of that money is going to be spent this year. most of it is for future years. again, paying off teachers unions. and then maybe the worst of all, the worst of all, they're going to give a lot of americans a $1400 check. federal employers are going to get that same check. they are also going to give $1400 a week if their kids aren't in school. so if you're working in the middle of the country, you get one $1400 payment once. if you're a federal bureaucrat in washington where your schools are still closed, you get it every single week. talk about the swamp looking out after itself. ainsley: wow. also if you look closely, more things that we haven't mentioned this morning, health care subsidies to illegal immigrants, $350 billion in state, local and tribal government relief, $1.5

billion to amtrak. and keep this in mind, amtrak has not even spent the one billion from the last package. harvard and other higher education institutes receive hundreds of millions of dollars. senator, americans work so hard, this is our money. >> yeah, it really is not right, ainsley. i'd forgotten about the sub suby for illegal aliens to get health care. again, what message does that send? the democrats are going to pass another bill that's going to give more health care subsidies. or places like harvard, stanford, are getting full deductibility. we passed measures like that last year designed to help food pantries or other places to help alleviate the poverty created by the coronavirus, not for some of the richest institutions in america to pad their bottom line. brian: yeah. let's look at this bill further.

people like larry summers, played a key role for barack obama at the fed, and another top economist at the imf said this is too much. but on the other hand, you've got the current fed chairman, jerome powell, waving off concerns about an overtopped economy producing long-feared inflation, don't worry about it. is this because janet yellen was his old boss and good buddy? >> yeah, this bill is almost entirely unnecessary. it's a moses -- pelosi payoff. as y'all said, there's so much money we appropriated last year that hasn't even been spent yet, and we did that at that at the beginning. cases are momentumming, vaccination rates are surging, the economy looks to be getting stronger. we can continue to spend the money appropriated last year, and there's more needed in a couple months, we can come back

to it. it's nothing but a payoff right now. steve: senator tom cotton after a busy weekend down at c spac, thank you very much for joining us live. >> thank you all. steve: have a good week. meanwhile, let's go up to the mess zien level, and ashley joins us right now, and you're starting with the weather because we've got plenty of it. >> we are. good morning, guys. flash floods across the south. some areas in kentucky seeing almost 5 inches of rain. in tennessee emergency crews rescued five people including a baby trapped by flood waters. their truck slid off a water-covered bridge. and johnson and johnson's new single-dose vaccine is about the shut up it. this is a live look from -- ship out. this is a live look from kentucky. some could reach vaccination sites to. dr. fauci warned against comparing it to other vaccines. dr. nicole saphier joined us earlier, and she agreed. >> when people ask, well, which

vaccine should i get, the answer is if you want to save your life, you take whichever vaccine is offered to you because that's going to be the right one. >> around 20 million doses are expected to be available by the end of the month. and a teachers union president who led the charge to keep schools closed in berkeley, california, is spotted dropping his tower off for -- daughter off for in-person preschool. giving a statement in response to the video, quote, i have my 2-year-old in preschool. unfortunately, there are not a lot of school for kids her age. we are excited we will be reopening soon with a plan that our members and districts support. and golfers wearing red and black showing support for tiger during the wgc championship yesterday. tiger posted you're truly helping me get through this

statement, his own statement was that he knew one of these women was a sexual assault survivor. yet he admittedly tease her about her personal life? at best to him, it's horrendous behavior. he was almost 30 years older than one woman, almost 40 years older than the second woman, both who worked for him. he was in a position of authority over them, and he admitted he teased them about sexual inferences, flirted with them, which is completely inappropriate. steve: pam -- >> at a minimum. steve: -- given his history you have concerns about witness tampering. >> well, certainly, steve, because he said he knew people were reaching out to one or both of these victims trying to get them not to cooperate. and that's why this subpoena power that attorney general james needs and wanted that he initially didn't want to give her, he wanted to monitor that,

is so important. she can issue subpoenas, and when she does, she can give these people use immunity which means they have to talk. they don't have a choice. they have to cooperate with her. and from what the two victims are saying, people all in his circle who worked with him knew that this was going on. in fact, one of the visions said he would even -- victims said he would even direct individuals on his security detail to invite her into his office when others weren't around. so, again, he's innocent until proven guilty, but someone will be charged with tampering with a witness, and they're going to ask those witnesses was it done at the direction of governor cuomo. steve: wow. yesterday morning at this time the attorney general for the state of new york had asked the governor to grant her subpoena power so that she could run the investigation, but then all day went back and forth, he wanted to put a certain person on the investigating team, and there were connections between that

person and cuomo and all sorts of problems. so, essentially, he said, okay, i'm okay with the investigation as long as i get to pick the judge and the jury. >> and control the subpoena power. which is ridiculous. attorney general james did the right thing. that falls completely in her authority. the above cannot choose who investigate -- the governor cannot choose who investigates him at all. so the right thing was ultimately done, and she will be controlling the investigation. steve: and this has, this is separate from the scandal that is the nursing home debacle where thousands of people here in new york died after he ordered people who had covid, go back into nursing homes, and then all sorts of people got sick. >> yes. completely separate investigation going on involving very serious allegations of sexual harassment and tampering and inappropriate touching with women who worked for him.

successful tool and authority we have. and now they're shocked that we see a crisis at our southern border that's already here. it's truly remarkable, what we're seeing. brian: axios report -- now, you know, i've seen this before in other places -- we can expect 13,000 unaccompanied minor by may. this is a cbp report that is out. what are we going to do with 13,000 una i companied minors? -- unaccompanied minors? >> we're not going to do what we dud under president trump's administration which was to catch people who entered illegally, let them go true process, detown them and remove them lawfully. that has completely been replaced with we're going to release you, protect you from lawful deportation, and once you remain here, we're going to reward you. right now, in february you're going to see over 9,000 unaccompanied minors entered the borders illegally, and what we're doing right now is releasing every single one of them as fast as we possibly can

into the interior united states. that's the goal of this administration. not to protect our borders, not to enforce our laws, but absolutely to exploit and abuse them and let people illegally enter the united states. and then, brian, and then prevent i.c.e. from lawfully apprehending and deporting them. so in a couple years we're going to have a couple more million demanding their amnesty. brian: and guess what? when you place them, you go into usually working class communities which schools are already strapped, and now all of a sudden you have kids that don't speak english in classes taking time and energy away from your kids who aren't getting more than likely the attention they need anyway. so one of the excerpts from what jen psaki said was with, look, our approach with the biden administration is we think the most humane step we can take is not send them back to take a treacherous path forward. the humane thing is to leave them here. is that humane? >> no, it's not.

look, brian, independent studies have shown up to 33% of the youth being smuggled into this country are being abused. the child smugglers and the human traffickers are back in this business because of these policies. and here's another thing that the press secretary doesn't say, the hypocrisy in our laws. if you're an unaccompanied minor from canada or mexico, we send you back. it's only from the northern triangle countries, we keep those kids. but if you're from mexico or canada, we send you back. it makes no sense, and that's what we were addressing under the trump administration. brian: so you got this socialist mexican president to be an ally of yours. he put marines on his southern border and backed you up with the remain in mexico policy. what do you think he's going to say to president biden today? >> look, you're right, this was another game-changer. not only, you know, 25,000, you

know, personnel to increase enforcement, increase security on the southern border, but they supported the migrant protocol which was a game-changer that removed one of the significant loopholes that was driving illegal immigration. i think what i would say is, hey, what are you doing? you're now causing the crisis that is impacting our country. what are you doing? you turned the spigot back on, and you are driving another crisis that's impacting every country that's involved in this. if i was the mexican president, i would be calling biden out on it. brian: and think about the rio grande valley and those communities on the border being overwhelmed again. you wonder why they voted for president trump. mark, i know it must be killing you. you worked for obama and trump, and you just see the same mistakes being made again only to the tenth power. thanks so much. all right, still ahead, we are live in orlando where there was no shortage of enthusiasm at this year's cpac. pete hegseth breaks down those

[cheers and applause] the only reason that most parents do not have that choice is because joe biden sold out america's children to the teachers unions. [applause] his position is morally inexcusable. you know that. joe biden has shamefully betrayed america's youth, and he is cruelly keeping our children locked in their homes. no reason for it whatsoever. they want to get out. they're cheating the next generations of americans out of the future that they deserve, and they do deserve this future. they're going to grow up, and they're going to have a scar. ainsley: that was the president speaking at cpac yesterday down in orlando, and pete hegseth was this, our "fox & friends" weekend cocohost. hey, pete. pete: hey, good morning. you know what was really telling about that, he did talk a lot about schools.

it was the one time when donald trump looked out at the audience and said i call on joe biden to open the school cans. he a talked a lot about immigration, other issues, but it was only schools and the closings that got that direct reputation straight to the current president. and it really did resonate with the group. between the opening of schools, the calling out of unions and making and clarifying who should get the credit for the vaccines and operation warp speed, as you've seen the biden administration attempt to talk about that the, those were right down the middle fastballs for the former president last night talking about those. and then, of course, the fact that cpac is here in orlando is telling in and of itself, a state that is open. the certainly talked about that as well. but he got a huge reception you guys have been talking about all morning. brian: yeah. he talked about those issues and that has happened over the last month, but he also avoided going after republicans which i know took a lot of restraint the on his part, and i think that was great. he also told steve hilton maybe it was kind of good i was not on

twitter, i have more time to do other things. [laughter] meanwhile, pete, you spoke, did a great job. here's a little from your speech. pete: i sit down with a schoolteacher or a construction worker or a small business other than or a cook at a restaurant the or the waitress at the restaurant we're at, and they're not talking about esoteric things that the ivy league talks about or msnbc talks about. they're talking about the bible and faith and prayer and their family, hard work, supporting the police, standing for the anthem, the first amendment, the second amendment, the tenth amendment. brian: so, pete, what made you hearken back to your diner days and not your i've i have league days, because you were in both, as well as in the military, and some of the responses were doubtful that you were actually reflecting what people in diners talk about.

steve: the tenth amendment, come on. pete: the internet exploded. the blue check parks and said, pete hegseth, he doesn't talk the regular people, and regular people would certainly never talk about states' rights or the tenth amendment. i mean, no way. i use it as an example, guys, because the people that i meet, like those two wonderful ladies there, across the country on these segments where you guys send me, yeah, i'll do three three-minute segments over the course of an hour, but the other two hours and 45 minutes i'm sitting there at the booth with the folks just talking. and of course we're talking politics, because that's what breakfast with friends often times is talking about. but they're not going on these abstract theories about inequality and intersectionality. they're saying do i have a job or not, why is my school not able to say the pledge of allegiance, the tenth amendment, states' rights, are you telling me average folks don't understand that the federal

government will encroach on their lives? i didn't think that was the part of the speech that people would glob on to, but it shows you how completely out of touch -- first of all, they've never watched "fox & friends," they don't know about the diner segment. they thought i just popped into diners and immediately the tenth amendment comes up. regular folks are smart, they understand first principles, that's why i said the real elites get what makes america special. steve: and, pete, that's why we started you on that segment five years ago. it started in new hampshire the day before the minnesota primary because we wanted finish the ne- the new hampshire primary. if you're in a maul town at a diner, you have different concerns about the separationing between federal powers and state powers because you would like to think d.c. does not run your life. pete: or, hey, did the federal government take my guns or am i

going to be canceled. all those things matter to average folks and, again, the condescension that comes from elites with blue check marks that host shows on other channels never ceases to amaze me. steve: well, it sounds like they're taking apart the set -- [laughter] pete: we are the last people here, guys. they're shutting her down.

♪ ainsley: boston public schools hitting pause on entry to an advanced program for fourth, fifth and sixth graders. the school system says they couldn't administer the admissions exam this year because of remote learning but also say they're discussing concerns around equitable access for all learners to provide a recommendation as to the future of the program. but should race even be a part of the discussion? let's ask former professor dr. carol swain. good morning to you, dr. swain. >> good morning. and i can tell you that across the country there have been efforts to eliminate any testing because black and his pan ebb students don't -- hispanic students don't score as well as whites and asians. asians tend to do best, whites second, and then probably hispanic, black, in that order. so people who believe in proportional representation and what they are calling equity -- and equity is not the same as affirmative action. with affirmative action you try to create an environment for

equal opportunity, and you try to get representation. what they want is people in certain numbers from every group regardless of their scores. and so they'll find a way to sort of slant the system in a way that would benefit racial and ethnic minorities not based on test scores, but based on race. ainsley: right. so i've read all these articles about it. a group of parents are suing because they're upset with -- they did away with the admission tests to get into these hard schools in the boston area. instead they're saying let's just look at grades, mcas scores and zip codes. and the parents are saying zip codes should not be part of it. >> i would agree. all schools are not equal. so in every urban area you have children that may be making as or bs,but that's not equivalent to the schools that are in the better areas of the city. so the grade's not equivalent,

and the zip code system is a way to benefit, i believe, students that live in areas where the quality of education may not be as high. the problem with all of this is the children may get into the schools. unless the school lowers its standards, they're going to have a lot of minority students who are struggling, who may become disciplinary problems or drop out -- ainsley: right. >> and that's a disadvantage to them. ainsley: let's talk about dr. seuss because virginia's largest school district -- it's been in the news a lot lately -- louden county schools, they're having a problem with dr. seuss books. they say it's too controversial. tell us more about this. >> i can tell you i'm a virginian, and i'm so ashamed of my state. i feel like i need to move back there and try to straighten things out. the social justice warriors see racism everywhere. there's no author who's white who's truly safe. so they see white supremacy

already -- well, discrimination against asians and just about every kind of bias in dr. seuss. and you have to dig really hard and have a creative imagination to find racism in dr. seuss. i read it to my children, my grandchildren have read it. i mean, dr. seuss, really? there's no stopping point for these people. they are totally insane. they're obsessed with race, and they are the true racists. ainsley: so this is what louden county sent us or sent the press. as we become more culturally responsive and racially conscious, all building leaders should know that in the recent years there has been research revealing racial undertones in the books written and illustrations drawn by dr. seuss. what's your reaction? >> dr. seuss was a person that promoted racial unity, if they would take the time to study him. but they don't.

they go after anyone and everyone. no one's safe. and if you look at some of the materials that they push, it is so racist. their agenda is racist. and whether it's trying to have proportional representation in elite schools or removing shakespeare from colleges and schools, what they're doing is dumbing down education. it hurts every student. we need to push back. every parent, regardless of race, must push back. ainsley: dr. swain, thank you so much. her book is called "be the people." thank you, good to see you again. a liberal media are outlet arguing dolly parton has a dark side. john rich says dolly's an american icon whose integrity is beyond reproach. he's up next. for as little as 33¢ a day. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. u-s-a-a

about the whole thing was rigged , nonetheless, the big question ainsley, and brian, becomes will he run in 2024 because there was a roomful of people down there at the hyatt regency who would really like to see him. ainsley: he hinted around he might and pledged not to create a new party so the republican party will not be divided. brian: well one thing is true i'm not qualified to host ainsley's bible study in case she ever turns an ankle and needs a sub, but i will say god shined on the spring sports which is supposed to be fall sports over the weekend. the rain has wiped away the snow , they could actually start practicing because they are going to go back to sports, pandemic and all, start practicing soccer, starting today, and football, in new york ainsley: and, brian? the church, everyone is welcome. you're always welcome to join our bible study. brian: did you not to host it. ainsley: you could.

steve: i have adjusted my microphone and now it's working again. ainsley: i hear you. steve: anyway if you missed the president yesterday we carr ied it from start to finish here on fox news channel yesterday. we were the only major cable company to do that, and he did answer the question, would he start the patriot party which we pretty much heard immediately after, you know, it was very clear he had not won the presidency. he made it clear yesterday, not going to do it. going to bring the republicans together. here is the former president. >> do you miss me yet? >> [applause] >> i stand before you today, to declare that the incredible journey we've begun together, we went through a journey like nobody else, there's never been a journey like it, there's never been a journey so successful. we began it together four years ago and it is far from being over.

history. its been incredible and little sections of it to complete, they don't want to complete it, but its had an impact that nobody would have even believed. it's amazing, considering that the democrats number one priority was to make sure that the wall would never ever get built, would never ever happen, would never get financed we got it financed. we ended catch and release, ended asylum fraud, and brought illegal crossings to historic lows. >> [applause] ainsley: let's bring in pete hegseth, fox & friends weekend co-host and our friend, hey, pete. pete: good morning, ainsley. please let brian kilmeade host your bible study. brian: [laughter] then we get fog nation. pete: that be unbelievable, so count me in on that but guys i was in, 30 feet from the ball room in there last night. there's absolutely no doubt that this is the party still of

former president donald trump, call it cpac, teapac, he brought the house down last night and he didn't do it with curve balls. this was a fast ball pitch right down the middle on the basics indicting the biden administration talking about the victories of his administration, consolidating the america first policy and why people look to him and he will be the deal-maker or the king when it comes to 2022- 2024, brian you're right. he did name some names but in a matter of fact way to say if you're not the america-first agenda we're coming after you and winning majorities in 2022 and somebody, maybe me, will be your candidate and win in 2024. it energized people here who were ready to be energized this was a more unified conservative movement than i anticipated seeing an more enthusiastic one and the speech last night was a capstone for that. brian: because msnbc and cnn and all the networks want they wanted to have the notion of a civil war in the republican party. i thought rick scott had a great

line. he says the civil war is canceled the republican side, because we know what's going on with the cancel culture, a big theme yesterday. so the straw poll was down and president trump was expected to be on top. karl rove is one of the people who thought the president should be higher here. would you like to see the donald trump run for president again in 2024? 68% said yes. no 15%, unsure 17%. so do you think the president was pleased with that number? pete: i think so. i mean, you add the unsure, which is hey let's see what happens over the next couple of years and you've got an 85% approval rating for being the nominee in 2024 that's a darn good number. the overall approval rating for his presidency from cpac attendees i believe was 95%, and those are numbers any politician would want, and you see that mike pompeo had the second-most amount of votes everyone else after that was at 3%. that's a reflection of how he handled things by keeping florida open, so those are numbers any politician would kill for , and i think they were

happy about it. steve: well there was one name that emerged yesterday that suddenly people are talking about hey, ron desantis. look at that. when you, they did the polling. they asked everybody in attendance, if president trump, former president, were running in four years who would you support? a majority, 55% said donald trump, and then ron desantis, 21 % said that they would support the governor of the great state of florida. he did better than anybody, and then there was another poll, if trump was not running in 2024 who would you support his nominee? 43% said ron desantis, 11% said kristi noem of south dakota and everybody else was in single-digits but nonetheless look at the top two numbers the ones in double-digits are governors of states that were wide open. pete: that's exactly right. tucker got my vote, guys. he was on both polls there. steve: you got to vote and report on it?

pete: i did, yes it's all rigged they sent me the e-mail. i followed the link, and i voted in the straw poll so i'm one of the voters but i will say this. you nailed it, steve in your formulation. why is it governor desantis, why is it kristi noem because covid-19 and its affect on our lives is the game changer no one expected and a true revealing moment of leadership. how you balance competing priorities, do you lock it all down and crush businesses? do you respect people enough to make them allow them to make personal choices? those two governors there did that and i think voters and certainly the base of the conservative side of the republican party really value the courage they showed in those moments, but again, first and foremost, donald trump tripling, quadrupling both of them with support he'll be the man that decides whether or not they get their shot at the top of the ticket. brian: no one gets on that list no one runs, if he runs, because all of those people are supporters of the president. don't you think? pete: correct. absolutely correct.

he is a field clearer if he decides unless there's some un anticipated moment, which we've seen plenty of them where they've tried to write-off the former president and it has never worked. this is his field if he wants it otherwise, if he were to bow out holy cow look out. this thing, there's a lot of people might three throwing their name in the ring including a congressman right here, a couple feet away from me, jim jordan somewhere. there's tons of names that'll be out there should it not be donald trump. steve: jim jordan is with us in 10 minutes. pete: that's right. ainsley: thank you so much, pete he's there on the fox nation set so watch after cpac which will be hosted today on the fox nation set around noon, eastern time, fox nation is the ultimate streaming service for the fox fan featuring original programming, events, and more with your favorite fox personalities. so join us today at foxnation .com. brian: we'll discuss on the breaks why pete chose to wore a tie today and not thursday, friday of last week. that's interesting what drove the decision. ainsley: he did great in his speech walking around the stage,

no notes. brian: meanwhile peter doocy joins us live at the white house ahead of president biden's inventory you'll meeting with mexico's leader and it looks like mexico's leader wants vaccines. >> brian it's interesting the two big things be vaccines and all these people showing up at the southern border. there are so many unaccompanied children showing up at the border that the biden administration and hhs are looking for more places to house them as president biden reassure s anybody who is already here that they don't have to worry about getting arrested if they go to get vaccinated. i want to make sure they are all able to get vaccinated so they are protected from covid without i.c.e. or anyone else interfering they should not show up and not be arrested for showing up for being able to get a vaccination. >> that is at least one democrat member of congress worry the biden administration is too inviting with their immigration policies.

henry quaar of texas says he can't just let everybody in because then we're affected down at the border and the white house says they haven't had time to change things at the border so people who want asylum shouldn't come yet biden critics argue his policy of not sending any children who arrive by themselves illegally back is going to result in mor more peoe crossing illegally in coming months. >> biden's radical immigration policies aren't jus illegal. they are immoral, heartless and they are a betrayal of our nation's core values. >> and i asked jen psaki about this in a couple briefings last week. she said it is heartbreaking there are children crossing the border but the white house's position is basically that, to remain consistent with the things that president biden is trying to do. there are no good options at the border right now. back to you. steve: all right, peter north lawn of the white house where it's raining there as well, peter thank you very much.

so, asking president biden, hey, can you loan us a bunch of vaccines because apparently down in mexico just as we have seen in other countries including this one, initial rollout has been rocky. currently, down in mexico, they are in phase ii where everybody over the age of 60 is now eligible for a vaccine but as we have seen here in this country, very long lines, a lot of confusion. the first category was people in the healthcare and first responders things like that. mexico does have contracts with pfizer, astrazeneca which has not been approved for this country and ainsley, they also have contracts with the chinese company that makes their vaccine. ainsley: so we're supposed to go mexico, our vaccines when the majority but who hasn't gotten vaccines in our own country? steve: exactly so it'll be

interesting to see how joe biden handles that. ainsley: senator tom cotton was on with us earlier and he says that joe biden is to blame for the crisis that's happening down there at the border. listen. >> the crisis at our border is entirely a crisis of joe biden's making you can't run a campaign saying you're giving to give amnesty to illegal aliens, re institute catch and release, and provide free healthcare to illegal aliens and not expect a massive surge at our border. the only thing that the biden administration can do is reverse this policy now. they can reinstitute the agreements that we had negotiated with mexico and other latin american countries to keep migrants in their country, to let us adjudicate their asylum claims there. they can make it clear that we're going to keep the pandemic closure in effect that we're going to turn back people at their border. you can't simply show up at our border and come into the country brian: this is all a response to what candidate biden has said about what's going to happen at the border. what every democrat has claimed should not happen, kids in cages now these are kids in facilities

, kids in containers and what they are doing now going to school and quickly, the answer is going to be quickly get them into the country, rather than quickly get them out of the country. not that either policy is anti- kid, but one says there's a way to do things orderly. does that look orderly to you? the remain in mexico policy was a deterrent talking to these governments individually, restoring their aid was a deterrent and now we have a situation where it is all hands-on deck, get into america and you can stay. they think it's a way of getting the hispanic vote. i think it's cruel to give these kids a sense that it's worth going with strangers, thousands of miles on foot, and thinking that america is going to accept you and that's why they make the journey. i think it's just absolutely terrible, as susan page of usa today says this example of how governing is so much more different than actually politic king, the biden administration has made it clear they got a moral stance when it comes to immigration but has all these real dayton life

consequences and jen psaki talked about the difficult choices involved in making some of these choices you could imagine the difficult choices that desperate parents are making in central america right now, all because what they perceive is a welcome matt from joe biden. meanwhile, ashley strohmier has the other breaking news. reporter: this just in a new report suggests tiger woods may have fallen asleep at the wheel before his horrific accident last week. a forensic accident expert telling usa today, "to me, this is like a classic case of falling asleep behind the wheel because the road curves and his vehicle goes straight.

is leading the push to keep schools closed in berkeley is spotted dropping his daughter off in preschool, yeah, in- person, a local parents group tweeting meet matt meyer and white man aunt president of the local teacher's union saying it's unsafe for your kid to be back at school, all while dropping off his kid at a private school. fox news contributor ben domenech is here right now. ben? what can i add to this ridiculousness? >> good morning, brian. look it's absolutely ridiculous but i think that americans now understand after months and months of seeing this argument play out that everyone in this conversation whose been pushing for lockdowns and for keeping schools closed is totally hypocritical and here is the thing. when you tune, when you turn on the tv today, every single person that you see on every network, everyone whose a politician, everyone whose in authority, they're all being hypocrites on this , all their

kids go to private schools that have been broadly open across the country, and they've been completely left out of this situation that has been so terrible for everyone whose been sending their kids to public schools and under ordinances in which they've had to do these zoom classes that obviously, leave kids far behind the kind of growth that they ought to have, mentally. this is something that is a total increase of inequality which normally, we see democrats complaining about, except in this case, where teacher's unions are the dominant force, politically, that keep all these things locked down, in spite of all the science that shows they should be open. brian: if you want an issue to resonate with everybody in america it's schools whether you have a grand kid in school or you have a kid in school, or you are one of the kids. matt meyer tried to defend himself. he says this. there are major differences in running a small preschool and a 10,000 student public school just in terms of size, facility, public health, guidance and services that legally have to be provided. we all want a safe return to school.

the berkeley federation of teachers excited that berkeley unified will be reopening soon with a plan supported by members of the district to get our students back in the classrooms later this month. you feel better? >> no, i don't feel any better about that. i mean, first off he's wrong, when it comes to the differences in the situation, but look, again, what this whole thing has been. its been a situation where they are holding kids hostage, across the country, in order to try to extract more tax dollars from you, the citizen. its been this whole game along this point where not only do teachers feel that they should be able to cut ahead in line, even if they are young, in order to get vaccinated first, but they also want to be able to extract more money from washington. money that won't even be spent in order to make these schools safer but is going to be spent in future years on these different districts. it's all a game and people, i think, are frankly waking up to it and realizing that this is something that we shouldn't be allowed to play it with our kids brian: by the way if you want

to get every kid back in school and not have rotating school or hybrid, a hybrid rotation, knock it from six feet to three feet and it can work for every school big and small, and they know they could do it. they know kids are not at-risk. they understand the percentages. let's see if they actually do it i'm not optimistic. ben, thanks so much. >> great to be with you as always, brian. brian: meanwhile coming up straight ahead president biden urging the senate to act fast to pass a massive covid relief package with very little relief in it for republicans looking to pump the brakes. congressman jim jordan sounds off of a long list of goodies tucked into this bill. he had a great speech yesterday, talk to you shortly. >> ♪ get along ♪ hi, i'm debra. i'm from colorado. i've been married to my high school sweetheart for 35 years. i'm a mother of four-- always busy.

>> no president in my lifetime has done more of what they said they would do than president trump during his four years as our president. >> [applause] >> he said he would cut taxes, he did. he said he would reduce regulations he did. he said he would grow our

economy he did. he said he would put conservatives o in the court he did, he said he would get out of the iran deal, he did. he said he would put the embassy in jerusalem, he did. >> [applause] steve: our next guest said he would show up this morning and he did. as he hailed donald trump's accomplishments from the cpac stage this weekend there he is right there, republican from ohio, congressman jim jordan, jim, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. steve: that was a crowd that ate up what you had to say, and because, you were the opening act for the president, and they wanted to hear from him because it was his first time we'd heard from him since he left the white house, and he did not disa point >> joe, he was great. you know, a lot of energy in the room, i don't know how many standing ovations, he was great and he said do you miss me yet and a host of other things, but the american people appreciate someone who does what they said. that's the point i was making because so often in that town, people they will campaign, get

to washington and come up with a bunch of excuses why they can't do what they said they were going to do or pretend, but never really get it done. president trump just said i'm going to do it and do what i said and it is so refreshing and the american people know he was doing it on their behalf and that's why all these events, steve, people actually say we love you, mr. president, because they do. they love someone who keeps their word and fights for them and that's what he did. steve: sure, and you know, he made it very clear there will be no patriot party. he said i'm going to go ahead and try to unite the republican party, which is good news for people in the republican party like you and others. >> yeah, no kidding. i said this yesterday. he's the leader of the conservative movement, the leader of the america-first movement and he is the leader of the republican party, and i hope , and you know, i hope like i said yesterday, i hope on january 20, 2025 he's once again will be the leader of our country. i hope he runs, but he is definitely the leader of our party. we need to stay together and the vast majority of our party

supports president trump as our leader. steve: sure. and you know, the other thing everybody wanted to hear was are you going to run again? and, you know, he said i'm not going to make any decision apparently until after the mid-term elections in 2022 but he did say, you know, look. i might have to go and i might have to win again, because apparently, he thinks that he won, everybody i think, got his joke, but going forward, because he said it was all rigged, but then again, the electoral college and also mike pence have made it clear in the last couple of months, he did not win according to the rules. >> well, steve, what he pointed , what i pointed out that there were several states who changed think law in the run-up to the election. the left knew under the existing rules they couldn't beat president trump so in the run up to the election they had to change the law but they couldn't do it in a constitutional fashion because in the key swing states they didn't control the

legislature, so she had to go around with local democrat partisan judges and in some cases the partisan state supreme courts in these states just change the law and go around the state legislature, unconstitutionally, and that was the point we made when we objected on january 6. that's the point the president was making yesterday. these state legislatures are going to have to get control of their election law and put in place the changes that president trump talked about in his speech yesterday. steve: all right very good. jim jordan we thank you very much after a very busy weekend, for getting up early on this monday morning, thank you, sir. >> you bet, thank you, steve. take care. steve: you bet, you as well. meanwhile former president trump slammed joe biden over his job killing day one decision to cancel the keystone pipeline. south dakota governor christie nome and joey jones react next and tell us all about their new fox nation special coming up next on "fox & friends."

independent, the united states became the number one energy super power on earth. >> [applause] >> but if the democrats have their way, we are heading from energy dominance to energy disaster. that's what's happening. you have to see what's going on, everything is being closed up. it's a disaster. ainsley: that was president trump speaking yesterday at cpac let's bring in south dakota gop governor christie nome whose also at cpac and joey jones fox news contributor and retired marine, good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> good morning. ainsley: yeah, governor that really affects you when you hear that sound bite of him talking about the keystone pipeline and what that did to your state and gas prices are going up now, so we're all feeling the effects of this. what's your reaction? >> well overnight, we felt jobs disappear. we had families that had expanded their businesses, restaurants, hotels, gas station s preparing for the build that was going to happen on the pipeline plus it's just the wrong policy it's the wrong

policy on energy, it's the wrong policy on safety for people in the environment, it's unfortunate that president biden did this just based on politics. ainsley: joey this affects every day americans doesn't it? >> no, absolutely. i mean, to think that the president gets in office and the first thing he wants to do is kill thousands of jobs for no other reason than to appease a base that he didn't quite understand or fully have the grasp of, really shows you kind of where they are. they know they are walking a thin line when it comes keeping this democratic base together, and they are just appeasing the far left of it right now hoping the moderates stick around i guess. ainsley: i want to get your reaction to the straw poll because at cpac everyone was asked to vote and they asked itch trump were running in 2024 who would you support as the nominee, he got 55%, governor ron desantis got 21% and governor christie nome, you got 4% you mate it up on the list. what was your reaction? >> well i think it's obvious that the president was with the people that love him, believe in what he has done, for

this country. you know, the man followed through on everything that he campaigned on, and that's what they want in leaders today. they don't want leaders who stand up and talk and make promises. they want people of action, so i thought that straw poll was incredibly accurate placing him at the top, and i think he will continue to be a force in politics and policy here in the united states. ainsley: joey they also asked if trump were not going to run if he's not running then who would you support. the two governors at the top of the list, ron desantis and governor noem, two states that are open. what was your reaction? >> listen i spent a couple of days in south dakota with governor noem, i think she does a phenomenonal job connecting with them and she is who she says she is and i would gladly throw a vote behind her and support her. ainsley: will you run for governor again or do you have plans for the white house? >> oh, i'll absolutely run for re-election. in fact, i'm up in 2022 so i'm hoping the people of south dakota will support me again and give me the opportunity to

continue to serve them. ainsley: i'm sure they will. they love you there, and joey i love your jacket very appropriate for your fox nation special. it's called fox nation outdoors tell us about it. >> yeah, this is a show that we did a few seasons or a few episodes in first season getting to know the rest of the country and taking celebrities hunting and season just really knocked it out of the park. you don't get more of an outdoor celebrity than governor noem, we had country music singer chase rice, we had baseball legend david well, people from all walks of life, all coast, all states, and we just went out and enjoyed the country we live in and did hunting and eating and enjoying it and i'll tell you i got to see governor noem on horseback and if you can handle the buffalo roundup, i think running this country becomes a piece of cake. ainsley: we have a clip from that time that you spent with her. watch this. >> from what i understand you be phesant hunting every year anyway, so how does it become such a priority for you, why is it such a priority in such a busy and important life?

>> you know, for us, hunting is a way of life. we hunt a lot of big game in our family but we also bird hunt and to be here with my kids and to enjoy it is something that i think my dad and my grandpa and my grandma and migrate grandfather would all appreciate , that some things change really fast in the world today but some things never change and that's what's important. >> there we go. >> good shot. ainsley: that's impressive i grew up in a family of hunters too and i'd go along but i never actually did it. i'd love to learn. how old were you when you learned? >> well i was very young. you know, you go along hunting when you're just growing up in south dakota but you don't start hunting at that time until you were 12-13 years old. it was my grandma doris hads who taught me how to bird hunt and if joey was honest law enforcement would tell you i had a tough day shooting that day so we did okay but the wind was blowing in south dakota those

birds were fast and that was a test in patience that day, and a motivation to keep going. ainsley: well you look fantastic and you look like you know what you're doing. very impressed with both of you. thank you so much. joey look forward to seeing that >> yes, ma'am it's streaming live right now on fox nation. ainsley: wonderful thanks, guys. god bless you both we love you. all right, season two of fox nation outdoors available now on fox nation, fox nation is a members-only streaming service with exclusive access to original content, events and your far reit personalities. so head to fox nation.com to sign up today. >> now ashley strohmier takes over. reporter: thanks, prime survivor s rallying in la this weekend speaking to recall district attorney george gascone , and sweeping reforms lessening sentences for violent offenders and the cities deputy district attorney joined us earlier to react. listen. >> a da should clearly want to

dolly parton. ainsley: the country music legend is accused of having a " dark side" writing,"dolly parton is beloved because she's devoted her career to standing for love" and she's willing to be ambiguous about what exactly that love means and how much it includes people that those on different sides of the political aisle consider their enemies but america in the 21st century is no time for a secular pop saint. and there's a dark side to dolly 's ability to appeal christ -like to all people at all times. brian: that's exactly what i was thinking here to react one country music star himself, john rich. john, dolly parton is evil now for not having a point of view and not villifying other people? >> first of all, dolly probably doesn't have a dark side. i'm going to say she doesn't but if she did, it be brighter than the brightest bright side of any other person.

that's a fact. i've read this story and i thought have these folks attacked everybody and now they are going down the list they have to makeup the attack on dolly parton? you know, they talk about anti- fascist and all this other stuff. fascism is the suppression of opposition, but dolly hasn't even said anything, like they are attacking dolly for things she hasn't even said. brian: exactly. >> you talk about going off the rails this is something else steve: will why do you think that is? >> i think that people like this writer and some of these media outlets, you know, they want to control not only the narrative, they want to control your thoughts. they say certain phrases or bring up certain ideas you get kicked off platforms but that's not good enough for them. they have to go after one of the most pure-hearted positive- loving people in america, dolly parton, for things she didn't say. this is not the first time she's been attacked recently. an nbc writer attacked dolly

because of her super bowl ad talking about working 5- 9 working after-hours, taking down the american dream how dare dolly parton suggest people work after-hours to create something great. i don't think there's a concerted effort to attack her but they need to layoff. ainsley: they are silencing her for staying silent. tell us about what's happening, i know you've been pushing for restaurants to open backup normal hours. what's the latest? >> we're starting to open backup a little bit more actually today so we're excited about that. our bands hopefully are moving back to town and we're looking forward to it. the redneck riveria is open, still supporting folds of honor, got the whiskey around the u.s. , things are coming back. brian: john have you been track ing to see if you are spreading this virus? have you been talking to lawmakers about what to do about this? have you just been sitting on the sideline? >> well what we found out in nashville is that a lot of the virus was being spread

around through construction sites and places other than our businesses. we had a lot of that going on. politics definitely entered this conversation a few times in nashville, but hopefully we've turned a corner now and we can get back to business. people want to hear music and we want to make music for them. steve: absolutely, nashville, as you well know, did i hear the statistic that it is the number one, it was before the pandemic, number one bachelorette destination for people about to get married? >> it certainly is. it used to be las vegas. now it's nashville, because man, you just can't have more fun than you do in nashville with all this live music, and incredible talent everywhere and then of course they got songs like "save a horse, ride a cow boy" what's a better song on that, right? brian: real quick, john when do you get back to concerts? >> we do not have a time on that, so right now we had a bunch of concerts in april and may that just got pushed to september and october, so that's not great right now. we're hoping that turns around
