year. fresh oil is going up at the pump. heating our homes is going to cost more. cooling our homes going to cost more. no joy in whoville this morning. this after president biden dr. seuss during his proclamation. >> there's no -- they are totally insane. >> good morning everybody, and it is tuesday march 2nd, 2021 straight to a brand new development a third woman is stepping forward accusing new york governor andrew cuomo of sexual harassment. >> calls for resignation are now intensifying. j i can't believe how this is getting. carly joins us. >> that third ac comes from those who worked on 2020 biden campaign. 33-year-old telling "new york times" she met governor cuomo and placed his hands on the small of her back and says i
3:02 am
promptly removed his hand with my hand which i would have thought was a clear enough indicator that iftion not wanting him to touch me. he said can i kiss you? i felt so uncomfortable and embarrassed when really he is the one who should have been embarrassed. pulled away and says cuomo kissed her on cheek a friend capturing in a photo a spokesman for goafn did not directly address russia's claim and said referring the times to the statement the governor released on sunday acknowledging that some things he said have been misinterpreted as unwanted flirtation latest allegation as letitia james sent a letter permitting her office to perform an independent investigation. cuomo administration now facing multiple investigations they have lawyered up hiring high profile defense attorney to represent them in the doj's
3:03 am
nursing home inquiry. steve ainsley, brian. >> thank you very much. this is the picture on the cover of the new york post and that is a picture of 33-year-old anna. she's a former member of the barack obama administration. she was part of the 2020 biden camp she met the governor at that wedding at a restaurant here in new york city kawtsed toro in september of 2019 where mr. cuomo was officiating the bride was a barack obama white house staffer and groom according to new york post they look at a linkedin information groom at that wedding current cuomo staffer so it sounds like everybody there democrats from the most part ainsley. >> hired this high power attorney and well known in the new york area and federal prosecutor and you know there's due process he's nents until proven guilty. but with the third person coming
3:04 am
out now people are asking for his resignation you have republicans and democrats on both sides and accusations not only of the nursing home but it is also bullying and intimidation, there are two -- first two staffers and yesterday that third staffer so things are not looking good for him if you compare brian and steve, the network news coverage of cuomo with a harassment allegation just yesterday, look at the amount of time abc two minutes 49 seconds nbc one minute 59 seconds cbs 2 minutes that was in one night, and i'm glad they covered it. sexual harassment is terrible. it is not down played. but when they loved him and they were praising him, after thousands of people had died in nursing homes because of a decision he made last year, the network news coverage was minimum, in fact, from january of 28 this year to february 25th look at the coverage about the seam that they did in one night of the sexual harassment. >> right. over one month.
3:05 am
yeah. it has taken a year as janice dean who will be with us -- was the lone voice longest time of now we know of 15,000 families who have suffered losses because they've lost loved ones in nursing homes and numbers were not accurately reported there's an investigation into that. one thing is pretty clear. the new york attorney general letitia james liberal as lecial can be and going after the trump family and trump organization. today she wrote, today meaning yesterday, the exec teff chamber transmitted a referral letter so going to start their investigation they'll have subpoena power. also important to point out welcome appreciate this. there's a few couple of journalist who kale out said they've been intimidated one left the business because of the way governor cuomo and his staff pressured them one of the name is -- beth of news channel nine she's a reporter. she was one he said eat the sausage at the table. >> there's video of this. by the way there's daughter there at the time lindsay neil son was a local investigative reporter in new york said she
3:06 am
was intimidated bullied personally attacked bid governor cuomo i have four pages of allegations that have just developed over the last three days you wonder how much worse can things get outstanding columnist with "the new york post" weighed in. >> last year, as early as may when "the new york post" and the families of the nursing homes dead were crying out for andrew cuomo to be held accountable, that all of those cries were ignored and, in fact, andrew cuomo instead was held up as the gold standard of first-degree murder leadership managed to evade accountability for all of the malpractice that he's committed over the years. and all of the people he's bullied and all of the power that he's abused. it is finally reached end of the road ands that only because the democrats decided he was of no more use. he had served his purpose as a
3:07 am
foil against donald trump. >> most of these accusers problems they have, the most of the condemnations are coming from the left weighed in and others have noted that double standard. also remember when the pandemic started, it seems like ten years ago it was only a year ago it was big story was chris cuomo and nighttime show having so much fun with his brother as he got to accolades by the way he's handled it and repped trump. now everybody wondered what about chris cuomo now his brother is in so much trouble and not covering it. here he mention it is. >> obviously, i'm aware of what's going on with my brother. and, obviously, i cannot cover it because he is my brother. now, of course, cnn has to cover it. they have covered it. extensively, and they will continue to do so. i have always cared very deeply
3:08 am
about these issues. and profoundly so -- i just wanted to tell you that. >> there he is looking into the camera like we are right now saying look, obviously, it is about my brother. i can't cover it. apparently they don't have a vcr at cnn because he covered his brother remember this snuff stuff? >> i called my mom. >> you've blown credibility and been the meatball of the family. >> do you think that you are an attractive person now because you're single and ready to mingle? >> some say i shojt come on this show because you harass me. >> too much -- can't take it? >> is it true that this was a swab that the nurse was actually using on you and disappeared so that in scale, this was the actual swab that was being used
3:09 am
was it this? or was it this? tell people the truth. come on let's go. are you confused chris said, obviously, i can't cover my brother but he covered his brother for the longest time. byron you're tweeted out yesterday. why is it that chris cuomo cannot covert brother and governor now and could cover the governor last year at a time when media were pretending governor was doing a good job handling the pandemic and soledad o'brien apparently on twitter responding to their media cnn media critic said maybe the media reporter could explain to us why the jokes request governor/brother was cool but now scandal/brother equals cannot discuss. hum she types. >> janice dean and other who is lost their loved ones were upset when they watched that type of video. when they watched those reports because they felt like they were laughing and joking around with something that was serious and painful and in their household
3:10 am
and their families so i understand why chris feels like he can't cover it. it would be a conflict of interest but you know what i was thinking how could he cover it? >> conflict of interest before? >> well this is dealing with allegations and the insurest nursing home allegation he should have a reporter who covers it on his show that covers this, and then he just thanks reporter doesn't have to comment on it. >> good point ten minutes now after the hour another major story we have trouble defining because we have the reality and how it is being defined illegal immigration surge that's happening on the border ladies and gentlemen it is a crisis. by any stretch of the imagination it is a crisis but if you ask the homeland security secretary alejandro who has been on the job seven days he calls did a stressful challenge really? you have the cvp detain 78,000 people of doubled from january 2020 at our border in the south.
3:11 am
2,200 unaccompany minor children cross the border each week in february. that is skyrocketing and 19% increase from last year. this is a crisis. they have 97% of the 8,000 beds filled for set aside for refugees of unaccompany minors. this is a crisis. they are building the so-called soft sided americans call intense, facilities for them for unaccompany minors why this is a manmade crisis by one man. joe biden and his policies. they said get rid of the remain in mexico 71,000 people and stop making the wall which has been financed, and daca kids can stay and let everybody know we're going to have a more humane he calls humane immigration policy. s that a go seen for central and south america and that is why things are going to going worse they're projecting 13,000 kids at our border without adults that are going come in and they're going to go get some schooling and they're going to
3:12 am
be sent right into the heart of america. that is a -- biden made crisis. >> so in other words, what the new department of homeland security secretary is saying is there's not a crisis, it's challenging. but if there was a crisis, it would all be the fault of donald trump. we had nothing we're here to fix it. trump screwed it up. here he is -- you be the judge. >> the prior administration dismantled our nation's immigration system in its entirety. quite frankly the entire system was gutted. what we are seeing now at the border is the immediate result of the dismantlement of the system and the time that it takes to rebuild it virtually from scratch. >> do you believe that right now there's a crisis at the border? >> the answer is no. i think there is a challenge at the border that we are managing. the men and women of the department of homeland security
3:13 am
are working around the clock 7 days a week to ensure that we do not have a crisis at the border. >> when he's talking about december mantling essentially donald trump dismantled the obama biden system. and actually put rules on southern border where suddenly it was not this, you know, the resolving door that it has become. to release. >> yeah. and, in fact, right now the remain in mexico policy is going to remain which is good news because they have not figured out exactly how on our end we're going handle it they say because of covid. speaking of covid last week peter doocy asked jen psaki used to be at the facility in texas with kids in cages now essentially there are kids in containers. can reporters go down there and just take look to see with our own eyes take pictures and psaki said you should ask department of homeland security apparently last couple of days department
3:14 am
of home land security said no there's a coronavirus pandemic you can't go down there and take pictures of the facilities. isn't that convenient so yesterday the secretary was asking well now let me look into it. i have a feeling in a couple of days you can say nope there's a pandemic you cannot take pictures of kids in containers. ainsley: so if you look at numbers alone the definition of a crisis and border agents of all saying that numbers are so big the definition does substitute a crisis chad acting chs secretary for the white house claims that -- he responded to saying that there's not a crisis. listen to this. >> if i find that payment and that phraseology concerning what we know is there's a crisis going on at the border and if there's not a crisis why is hhs building new tent facility why is is dhs in the process of building new tent facilities why is the pentagon looking at building facilities?
3:15 am
why are you redeploying agents from northern border to the southwest border? everyone knows there's a crisis going on. ainsley: all right so let's talk about what's happening today it is march 2nd. it is read cross america day and dr. seuss birthday and traditionally we celebrate because we loved his books but biden is there's a proclamation claiming that this is read across america day and leading out the mention of dr. seuss because of this one county in virginia -- and they are saying that it is controversial and they want to cancel dr. seuss. >> yeah. researchers surveyed 50 dr. seuss books concluded now that identified human characters there are 45 characters of color representing two percent of the human population of the 45 characters 43 exhibited behaviors in appearances that align with harmful stereotypical oriental tropes remaining two
3:16 am
human characters identified in the texaz african and both align with theme of antiblackness how they have gotten this from one group in this conclusion is beyond me. but the canceled culture is canceling dr. seuss for now and judging by way things things are growing it will grow from here different from what president trump called it. dr. seuss and what he did remember he said this, it was just last year on read across america day on this read across america day -- and american icon of literature, remember barack obama in 2016 birthday of america word smith dr. theodore or doctor seuss, what has changed? >> teams have changed, and suddenly you know -- ainsley to your point after the louden county school district said no. we have looked at this study that simply looked at the numbers we're going to essentially cancel it from this
3:17 am
particular program. i don't you know going forward, we've got a basement full of those books what are people going to do with dr. seuss? >> leave them. >> they would leak to see -- >> just stop reading them altogether? they're pretty good bookings. but you know, people have problems with how various characters are identified in the book, and i guess going forward every book will be reviewed in such a manner. going forward. >> what a -- what a radical organization decides to put together and eliminate children books from a brilliant author that is helped spread the word of reading in the love of reading around the globe. and we're going to have one group decide that it is not worthy of our eyes and our kids? that's a travesty put the brakings on. ainsley: people are too scared they don't want to be involved in all of this so rather just cancel it all, and listen --
3:18 am
brian: stand as for thing. ainsley: the places we are going in this country. >> think about what disney did with disney plus on various films that they've got on their platform what they did was they symptomly put a disclaimer written by lawyers describing this is from a certain period of time when feelings like this were -- widespread. well it is explanatory and people can go ahead and watch the stuff and -- be a judge, looking through that particular prism of now -- let's make it through since being canceled. >> dr. seuss should not be canceled stay in one county and if you want that, if you don't want to read dr. seuss go to that county. >> what do you think? ainsley what's coming up in ainsley: coming up next have you noticed gas prices are up in your town i know we all have. you're not alone. because we're going to discuss how the left war on oil is

♪ ♪ ainsley: we know that the left that's a perfect song because what we're about to talk about is gas prices we know the left has just this war on oil. and the day one president biden he cancels the pipeline without a solution without alternatives set in place to all of these people to have jobs. no they all lost some of them six forget jobs that they were counting on to put food on the table and to sending their kids to college. and we done countless stories about this. well guess what we are in gas
3:24 am
prices gone up 30 cents a gallon average 20 cents gallon thanks a lot of money imagine how much worse it is going to get. you know these are everyday decisions that affect all of our families. they're canceling pipeline minimum wage they want to hike that up from 7.25 to $15 listen i'm all for minimum wage hike every little while. but all to more than double it -- how if you're a small business person and the middle of the country can you afford to do that? they're going pass prices on to us can you afford that? can you afford a $25 hamburger if you go to -- you know a place where you're used to a $5 hamburger prices go up and tell them about this in california what they're doing there. >> right, i will shortly i like -- i know i'll finish your point to on xl pipeline because they do point out to few reasons why gas prices are going up refinery got frozen in texas they do talk about we're now using gas --
3:25 am
more energy because of the wind turbines and because they're unprepared for that so the big free. steve: refinery shut down. brian: slow to production and drumps never shy about saying what's opec doing saying pick up production. you know even though we have an oil gas and we have a huge oil gas division, and that is huge part of our economy. he would make sure that the american people were not stressed too much because we now for the first anytime four years have gas under $2 what i found stunning if i'm canadian is that when he did his virtual meeting with president biden he knows how much the xl pipeline means to canadian their oil floating through our country made the by u.s. steel the pipeline was going to be jobs to help canada and u.s. together he cut it on
3:26 am
day one and instead flew in the towel and didn't fight for it. listen to this. >> i think it is fairly clear that the u.s. administration has made its decision on that and we're much more interested in ensuring that we're most offing offing -- moving forward good for both of our countries. brian: if i'm canadian i'm outraged by that you have environmental has no impact on the environment you know it is more efficient you're nots on trains it is not on ship, it is not in vans or in vehicles. now it is going to be on all of those they thinks instead of through a pipeline directly hurting canada who is going to have to put that oil somewhere else. >> sure. average moment ago ainsley you said tell them about in california in california they decided you you know what we haa new safeway store and had a meeting on it ultimately they decided you know what we have enough gas stations in this town
3:27 am
we don't want people to run cars that run on fossil fuels. we want cars that run on electricity. and mention the fact that a lot of electricity is created by fossil fuels but that's a small point anyway they have outlawed new construction of brand new pumps in california. and all new gas stations. existing stations cannot add pumps but they can add electric chargers all part of the grassroots movement to try to get as many people to drive electric cars as possible the problem right now is the infrastructure for electric cars and battery qhs you look at the range how far can a electric car go you can't drive out of the country because you might get out in kansas where i'm from and suddenly like i'm out of electricity where do i plug this thing in they don't have the infrastructure. so if you're thinking about --

so ultimately he can see it and now attorney general in new york is beginning that process to find a private nonpolitical lawyer who is going to engage in a fact finding megs to see what really happened whether these allegations are true. >> so here's what he said so amazing what took place and pib the person who will look into my background and then he turn it is over to attorney general with subpoena power and had an explanation at times -- at work sometimes i think i'm being playful and make jokes that i think are funny. i now understand that my interactions with may have been intensive and too personal i never inappropriately touched anybody and proposition anybody or make anyone feel uncomfortable that did not sit quell to many of his accusers the next day. they don't think that was a valid excuse legally what did he do for himself with that statement? >> well interestingly the timing of this statement with the few hours before this reported that
3:46 am
he had retained a prom innocent white collar criminal defense attorney, and as an attorney myself that i think if the attorney has been retained first that statement would not have been issued. in many respects, but the governor did was make an admission admission of guilt that he, in fact, did make statements that have been alleged. that the question is really -- whether he intended them to feel this, and you know what problem with that statement not only is he admitting wrong doing but sort of placing the blame on the woman. >> who didn't get his jokes. >> he's saying yngt intend for you to feel this way so you felt this way that was wrong that's not what i wanted and we know in this me too movement, and this day and age that that's not right. >> remy -- >> the behavior this way. brian: never should have been right and say this real quick he attorney jones saw the investigation now, from my
3:47 am
perspective outsidive perspective looks like it will take months what would, what could change? >> well i think what seems most likely day after day might be hearing from new complaining from people who have experiences like this. the most recent one was that wedding which is very different not in the work place. imrowr right this is going to take a long time to uncover truth of the matter. >> this question to a reporter -- about eating on video and accusation from the young wol at the wedding. there's a picture of it. so that will help their cases. remy spencer thanks so much. >> thank you. meanwhile let's go up to ashley. ashley has latest breaking news. ashley. ashley: hi brian we begin headlines with the extreme weather and now under state of emergency, as destructive flooding ravages this state you can see cars at home submerge in water with residents forced to evacuate. the kentucky river is expected to crest at over 38 feet this

her office to perform an independent investigation. and the cuomo administration is now facing multiple investigations and has lawyered up hiring high profile defense attorney to represent them in the d. o. j nursings home inquiry. steve ainsley brian. ainsley: he's a high powered attorney mr. bromwits and innocent until proven guilty and there will be an independent investigation. the attorney general has said now that he's given her the go, she can move forward. and have this independent investigation and then she said that the end of the entire review the findings will be released in a public report. so we'll be able to read that public report and see but a lot of women have come out against him not just these three that say sexual harassment but others that -- were reporters, and local news outlets that have come out said he intimidate you had heard ron
4:05 am
assemblyman say he called him when he was about to put his kids in the bathtub and bullied him and bill says this is something that he does. >> yeah all of the time meanwhile get this one of the reporters cuomo is intimidated allegingedly bullied broke down in tear when is others came forward i started crying. her name is lindsay neil son a local investigative reporter in new york said she was bill dadded bully personally attacked by governor and administration was hopeful that the story will stop the democratic governor from using same tactics as everyone else. so he is now -- got him find himself the subject of an attorney general investigation. who has subpoena power. so we'll continue to follow that, and it grows every single day mean wheel another big story is this rescue package that made its way through the house just barely and last two democratic voters and got zero republican support. now this 1.9 trillion dollar bill which has only 9% for
4:06 am
pandemic relief work this year, is moving forward through the senate but they got some problems. and you know they have some problemmings because the president of the united states keeps inviting democratic senators to come visit him that might be on the fence from john tester to kyrsten sinema and joe manchin who said i will not pull up filibuster don't put a minimum wage in here not only was the parliamentarian saying no minimum wage doesn't belong many this bill and reconciliation but he's saying that -- i'm not going to go for it either would sinema but it is big story in this is how much crap is in here that doesn't belong in this bill. steve: you can see that we are scrolling right there. includes health care subsidies to illegal imrangts 350 billion dollars keep this number in mind 350 in state local tribal and government relief. 1.5 billion amtrak and 140 million for tunnel near nancy pelosi's district, and then
4:07 am
places of higher education like harvard and other get hundreds of millions of dollars. one of the things and brian, talking a little bit about that problems in -- with this particular senate bill chuck schumer made it clear yesterday theirs going to have a vote later this week pause the federal unemployment is going to be running out shortly. they don't want anybody to go without a check. the problem is in this senate, because of the parliamentarian, she said nope you can't put the $15 minimum wage business in there bernie sanders says ignore the parliamentarian the problem is the democrats simply do not have 50 votes. the other problem for the democrats and remember i told you to remember that number 350 billion to state ale local governments, well, "the new york times" of all outbits pingted out they may not need the money the headline was yesterday, virus did not bring financial
4:08 am
routs that many states had feared. and it goes on to site the fact many states took in about as much in tax revenue before the pandemic as they did during it. so -- according to the writer rocked economic devastation and prepare for the worst for many the worst didn't come. but by some measures, the states ended up collecting nearly as much revenue in 2020 as they did in 2019. so that is why kevin mccarthy for instance among other republicans is saying look, remember that 350 billion dollars? a lot of states don't need it. we have governor ron desantis of florida on this program on friday and he said his state is being punished because the metric the democrats are using is all based on unemployment. >> it is unbelievable how
4:09 am
they're doing this so they are actually rewarding the state that the highest unemployment rate so if you lock down if you destroyed your own economy through your own policies, you are getting a wind fall in states like florida that have worked to put people back to work that have saved our economies we end up getting short end of the stick so it is absolutely calculated. to benefit the failing blue states, and i know there's a lot of other nonsense in that bill which i'm not surprised at as someone who did serve in congress but there's no doubt states like florida who did right are going come up with a short end of the stick against other states that did it wrong. >> so the big question is in the senate will moderate democrats say you know what, okay we should bail out states that kept everything locked down. that is desantis worry while he for the most part brian and ainsley kept florida open wound up with lower unemployment won't get as much money.
4:10 am
ainsley: it is just not fair period it is not fair not fair to ask you to go to work to work really hard and give your tax dollars for all of this. for pork, because we were promised this is for covid relief and only 9% of it is used for relief rest is all stuff that has been rammed in here to save states that continue to close down when all of these other governors try to do the right way and stay open. this is where your money is going guys this is hardworking americans paying for all of this junk. stuff that we're not even going see some transit they they thinn northern california arts and humanities i love the arts i love museums but that -- this is not covid relief and this is what makes people so mad. >> jp moore morgan found a handle of states that took more money in during the pandemic and survey said several states tax revenues were really hurt are called florida texas, west virginia, hawaii, why because
4:11 am
tourism in oil and gas revenue in coal extraction they're not getting any special bailout because unemployment didn't rise and 31 states now have enough cash to fully absorb all of the economic stress. and why is that? j how many 31? >> 31 states now one big reason 600 and unsupplement is help and benefit from tax law changes in 2018 after the supreme court decision that led them allow them select sales tax on out of state purchase and these states were benefiting because you bought them from amazon and virginia and you live in montana you can collect tax revenue so why are we putting 1.9 trillion dollars that we don't have into our economy that is beginning to recover that is not nearly as bad as we thought. these are called facts and figurings and maps published by "new york times" please understand this is not partisan.
4:12 am
this is just wrong. because we already passed four separate bells. you can target this. republicans showed up and said here's $680 billion just targeting in particular -- at least different states and they walked away from it. ainsley: tax day is coming up get out your wallet. >> get out your receipts count them up start to prepare. ultimately we want people who need help and have been punished by the pandemic to get help. but there's so much pork and earmarks in this particular bill -- it has got a lot of people including "new york times" saying people don't really need it meanwhile about an hour ago we were telling you about how today is dr. seuss's birthday. it is also read across america today and dr. seuss has essentially been canceled because his books have been deemed to not to -- one group -- to -- which is a great impact his books were looked at by a study
4:13 am
out in california, and there was not enough diversity so dr. seuss has been canceled but that is just the latest story in the cancel culture jim jordan with us yesterday has written a letter to the chair knadler for a need on a hearing about it he said in part to wave of cancel culture is serious threat to fundamental free speech in the united states. cancel culture is a dangerous phenomenon whether you agree or disagree "views being censored if cancel culture continues unchallenged it is not just popular or uncontroversial view points at risk every view poupt and idea whether widely accepted or not runs risk of eventually falling into the favor with the ever-changing starngdz of cancel culture you may be on side that gets something canceled today but ainsley and brian eventually what goes around comes around necks thing you know you get canceled. ainsley: exactly right.
4:14 am
yep. just more and more extremes. as years go on. steve: let's see if they have a hearing. had a monologue pmg >> when you have a liberal talk show host you know exactly where he stands has left wing views, he's concerned about the cancel culture, comedians take it on stage if it current criteria for political right speak and the cancel culture continues you're going to have empty stages on most boring comedians push the envelope columnist push envelope do they get canceled if they say something that is not deemed acceptable by invisible police i think that says something when you have former editor of the new york time who is worked there for 40 years who got canceled now wrote a big story saying, i have no idea why i agree to resign. because i did nothing wrong. so -- there are people all across the aisle. steve: it will be great if jer pri knadler saying you're right
4:15 am
we should have a hearing. you want to place a bet whether or not hay do that. ainsley: everyone is afraid it is the year now everyone has cell phonings everyone is recording everything. people just topght stay silent now and -- when you have all of these extreme views, and they're pushed so far no one wants to stand up against it makes everyone scared you could lose your job. you could, you know -- >> seen that happen. yeah. particularly with police officers. all right let's go up to ashley strohmier not on not canal sell but we need you to el if the news. ashley: wondering if i was going get canceled governor newsom and state lawmakers reach a deal to urge schools to reopen newsom announce a $6.6 billion package 2 billion grow to schools to provide ppe and other upgrades ventilation 4.36 billion towards programs for summer schools, tutoring and mental health services ab first interview, since leaving the white house, former press secretary kayleigh

ainsley: head of berkeley california teacher union says schools should only reopen after all teachers are vaccinated was spotted dropping his daughter off in person to a private preschool. and now many are upset parents
4:22 am
are calling him out on this group guerrilla moms says meet matt myer president of the local teachers union, he's been saying it is unsafe for your kid to be back at school while dropping his kid off at private schools. scott davidson is the father of an eighth grade or down in san diego, and is part of the group that is suing the entire state now and suing lead percent to get schools reopen good morning thanks for joining us. you're welcome. so first of all i want to you what was your iraqi when you saw the president of the union who said it is unsafe for other kids to go yet it is perfectly safe for him to send his little girl to preschool in person. >> yeah. unfortunately not surprised at all we see that in our dringt as well that our union leaders you know sending their students back to our schools and -- and then, you know, claim that to the rest of the parents teachers and students that it is not safe to go back, and so we
4:23 am
see that down here with ours and it is unfortunate because most of our teachers our elementary teachers back since september so most of our teachers have been back know that it is safe, and don't have any problems going back and there seems to be this disconnect between union leadership you know talking points and political agenda and members who have been back and don't have any problems going back. >> what is your goal with this lawsuit? >> with the lawsuit -- you know what we're trying to do is get back to in person school five days week, and so this state you know is basically restricting us and came up with new rules in january on the cut of our scringts reopening plans, and prevented us from res opening so even, you know, case rates are falling and teachers are getting vaccinated, we don't see any hope of ever getting back to school and we're on if day 354 of school closures.
4:24 am
and unless they are relaxed and aren't based on cdc recommendations and public expert to safely reopen schools unless those are -- are rejected, then our student might not be back in school this year. >> what is the real reason c dx says it is safe now and teachers don't have to get vaccinated. >> you know that's tough to understand what those real reason are because we follow the science and we're looking at the data and we've seen for months that schools across the country are reopened and have done it safely and we know it can be done, and here we are in california that supposed to be progressive. crown, almost dead last in terms of in person learning for six million something students. so it is hard for us to understand why you know, they haven't reopen schools we certainly see union pressure, and we see the union you know saying that it is not safe to go back. but at this point we know that they're not really following the science or data on that either,
4:25 am
and so we're just a little perplexed a the this point. >> we do want to read matt myer, the berkeley federation of teachers president one who took his child to preschool his statement, he says there are major differences in one a small preschool and a 10,000 student public school district in terms of size, facilities, public health, guidance, and services that legally have to be provided. we all want a safe return to school. your reaction really we cannily we cannily dismot >> i agree but it doesn't change the fact that there are 10,000 person district much larger than that across the country look at miami, with, you know, thousands and thousands that have been open safely for months and it is very easy to do that we don't think there's any issue that high school, elementary preschool they all should be open. >> 354 days for distance learning who is in the 8th grade your son. boartd flooded with migrants after just one month under president biden watch, and head

statement yesterday that president trump gutted system are you serious? he as a secretary of homeland security more immigration judges he has more agents. he has more border technology, he had agreements that no other president able to get if anybody is gutted the system it is they've gutted is last four weeks and we see what happened we went from historic lows to a crisis unprecedented that is what they have done. >> not a lack of compassion the message we sending here forces these triangle countries to send people and hope on promise that'll get through instead of going through system that allows perhaps more refugees in and revamp to immigration reform. but toipght bring you to two more top pix before i have to let you go dhs secretary said yesterday that loving parents sending their kids alone thousands of mile through central america through vehicle and we're not expelling them and not a hengd through mexico whose loving parents sent them here alone. well if we don't sending them back tens of thousands will come
4:35 am
after them. we cannot digest -- entire country can we? no but can't and inhumane to put your hands in cartel and don't care about diagnose children i've held many dying children i was back in tractor trailer with five-year-old boy suffocated to death don't tell me this is compassion. putting your children in a handle of criminal cartels is inhumane and dangerous and bad and i've seen it and i just can't believe that statement was even made. >> it was kristin fisher asked this question yesterday at the white house briefing. the president of mexico is going to propose an idea to bring an immigrant labor force of 600 to 800,000 grants a year to work legally in the united states. is that something we should consider the answer from jen psaki i've seen those reports i believe that step that will require congress should congress
4:36 am
green light this? >> absolutely not. congress needs to secure our border and enforce laws that they wrote and enacted that was signed by president. look, last year mexico received 40 billion dollars and from people here working in the united states e law law illegal0 billion in a year of pandemic and more people here because you don't have to take care of them and provide social services or train them send us back more than 40 billion dollars this is a win/win for mexico bad for the united states bad for american worker. >> tom what did they say jobs americans don't want to work what do you say? >> that is untrue. that's untrue i've done many investigations work side operation where is we hit -- we've hit work site where these jobs are good paying jobs now some are good paying jobs don't get me wrong but a lot of jobs that middle class americans would love to have right now during this time of unemployment. >> plus, i mean we'll get in

controversial comments on police reform. listen to this. >> we've got to take urgent and comprehensive action to protect black communities from this conduct in brutality. we are now at a turning point. there is no returning to normal. we need something that truly transforms policing and leads to more accountability for communities. while the protest has, you know, dissipated somewhat, i think this cultural reckoning is going to stay with us for a while and hope it does. well, the attorney general for the great state of indiana, joins us now todd good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. steve: what is it about it this particular nominee one of the top people at the doj if confirmed why does she not belong in that job? >> look you saw from soundbite alone that this is the left's radical agenda coming right to the doorsteps of the doj. look, the community leaders in
4:54 am
some of our poor pest communities will be first to tell you the last thing you should do is defund the police that's where we need them. and the only known anecdote to rise in crime that's going on across this country right now is to have more police. and so at every turn as you saw from those soundbite with a track record and comments not completely in disinterested steve in true police reform because we can all do better but going after this far left agenda of defunding. steve: you know during the campaign, joab called on do you support defunding police he said no i do not. people have said you know, we need to reimagine how local policing works and things like but she according to you has been very clear defund the police so it seems like there's a disconnect between what the president has said and what she has said. >> you hit the nail on the head steve that's exactly right we
4:55 am
have biden talking one side of the mouth as he nominee after nominee not just at the doj here. but puts up people that are radical outside of the mainstream of america, and it is really dangerous especially dangerous when it comes to our law enforcement. and she will be a dividing influence and so many others are not really personal or hurt but agenda they're bringing it will be a dividing agenda for us and a time when we really need more unity so we're asking the president here, and in a respectful way you know stand behind your words. you're leader of our country now unify us, put up reasonable nominees for these very important positions. pg but you know how it works you know doesn't look like she's going to get confirmed yet the administration has dug in there completely putting everything on line to get her through. i can't imagine they would pull this particular woman gupta. >> that's why we have to in the best sense of the word fight for
4:56 am
this country and affiliate that fight is come to attorney general throughout the united states and grateful for four other states that joined me in the letter. they'll be other lines that we have to draws, but these -- these issues are coming now the states. and so it is really going to be on fuss to keep america unified. we will. steve: with crime rising as you mentioned that's why you're worried indiana attorney general thank you so much for joining us today. j thank you. >> all right we'll keep folks posted on what happens with her nomination hurting many industry but some like packing express ships are seeing blue collar boom. more on that trend, coming up. allergies don't have to be scary. spraying flonase daily stops your body from overreacting to allergens all season long. psst psst you're good

5:02 am
the new york times she met governor cuomo at a wedding in september of 2019 saying in moments of being introduced the governor placed his hand on the small of her back saying i probably removed his hand with my hand which i would have thought the clear enough indicator, he said can i kiss you, i felt so uncomfortable and embarrassed when really he is the one who should have been embarrassed. cuomo kissed her on the cheek, a friend capturing the awkward moment in a photo. the spokesman for the governor did not address her claim referring to the statement the governor released on sunday acknowledging some things he said have been misinterpreted. the latest delegation is new york attorney general james announced the governor's office sent a letter permitting her office to perform an independent investigation. the cuomo administration announced a multiple
5:03 am
investigation, and hired high-profile defense attorney abramowitz for the nursing home inquiry. ainsley: there is due process, your innocent until proven guilty. there will be an independent investigation with the a g of new york, there will be a public report on all of it. sexual harassment terrible. should never be downplayed. you compare the network news coverage of this compared to the nursing home scandal. this is from yesterday, abc, nbc, cbs each spent three minutes on it, two minutes, look at the entire month, the network evening news coverage of cuomo and the new york nursing home scandal, abc two minutes and 54 seconds, basically the same amount covered yesterday in the sexual
5:04 am
harassment. nbc 51 seconds, cbs 3 minutes 11 seconds. thousands of people died, or cuomo withheld numbers. the dates for the network news coverage for nursing homes january 20 eighth through february 2, '05, a month of coverage. >> cuomo said in response, most of these women, accusers and supporters, that did not go over well to his accusers especially the accuser that accused him monday, the accuser says this is a non-apology, making jokes, the mayor agreed with that. ainsley: sounds like we didn't get your joke, you apologize to.
5:05 am
ashley: the attorney general has subpoena power and will do the investigation. now we understand this came across, investigators hired by the new york attorney general to examine harassment allegations. number 3, who knows how many there will be in the end, required to produce the report. we will see all sides of this regardless of the outcome. miranda devine has been following this for a while. >> last year as early as may when the new york post and the family were crying out towards andrew cuomo to be held accountable all those cries were ignored and andrew cuomo instead was held up as the gold standard, always managed to evade accountability for all the malpractice he committed over the years and all the
5:06 am
people he has bullied and all the power he has abused. he finally reached the end of the road and that is only because democrats decided he was of no more use. he surfaced as a foil against donald trump. brian: i was looking at the calendar and it marks one year saying mister cuomo started his now infamous daily news conferences where he would talk about coronavirus in new york state which made him beloved on the political left and fast-forward to this and what a difference. let's talk about this. one of the executive orders joe biden signed was pulling the plug on the keystone xl pipeline, thousands of jobs. they had a bilateral meeting, prime minister justin trudeau
5:07 am
and joe biden and after it was done, by skype and stuff like that justin trudeau go made a decision not in our favor so i am with joe. here is the canadian prime minister over the weekend. >> it is fairly clear us administration has made its decision and we are more interested in insuring we are moving forward in ways that are good for both of our countries. steve: what about good for both of the countries, what happens to thousands of people whose jobs just like that, john kerry made it very clear those people can start building solar panels which means we'll have to move to china because that is where they build solar panels.
5:08 am
carley shimkus, talked to some of the people whose like they had been planning on the keystone jobs and all of a sudden just like that they disappeared. she traveled to arkansas and talk to these folks. >> if money the to give up everything you've worked on. >> to have that future taken a buy one signature our future has been altered, our youngest daughter in high school, going to college too and i don't know how to pay for it. i have no idea. >> provides the job ceases -- >> look at what we are suffering. prices are going to go up. people will pay more for cars and houses, they will pay for anything. right now we are paying with our lives.
5:09 am
>> 3 generations, this is money we are taking away from future children, the future of our country. on a beach trip, philip in columbia, the closer you get to the beach prices get more expensive. we turn the lights off, we go to the cheapest gas station. he would search around. we all remember working small jobs in high school and i would pay with my gas for that. families are hurting and look at what they are going through in arkansas which they lost their job. that other mom can't afford to pay for college and she's almost in tears.
5:10 am
we can all relate to this. i understand if the environmentalists don't want the pipeline, if you're going to take away all the jobs and affect all their families not being able to pay their mortgage then have an alternative for them. in california if you want to open a gas station no more in this one little area because they say we don't want gas stations or fossil fuels, we want you to drive electric cars, some people don't have electric cars, they need gas stations. steve: imagine being the leader of a country knowing you cost your country billions of dollars and with the president of the united states, had no problem criticizing donald trump. imagine donald trump going to another country, right to angela merkel's face because it hurts our security, where we protect you when you get natural gas from russia. justin trudeau has an opportunity to say 0 impact on the environment and you turned
5:11 am
it down along with american steel jobs and pipeline jobs and he just punted. i would be beside myself, since being press secretary at that position and in a difficult time. since leaving the white house with the president of the united states, she sat down with harris falconer and that will air today. this is an example of some of her tangles where she was so prepared or ready to do battle with the president for the press. >> you are asking the wrong question. where -- did anyone take it upon themselves, any questions about michael flynn, i'm asking the spokesperson, not a single journalist asked question.
5:12 am
>> the point is -- >> i like to report out here. >> to override the governors. on what authority do you do that? >> the governor -- your opposing the hypothetical assuming they will keep churches shutdown. steve: compare that to jen psaki or anybody else, it was arms combat, she was armed with research, data, and facts. she's talking about it with a preview. >> the lectern for the time you were press secretary was phil in the blank. >> great question, i would say disparate, unfair in the sense that as i said this to my staff
5:13 am
often, democrat woman standing at the podium would never be a playboy reporter shouting at her as she left nor should a democrat woman ever have to face that. >> at 11:00 today. >> during the trump administration reporters, they have an agenda, they want to make the administration look as bad as possible. they would posit a question. a gotcha question but whatever the answer was your asking a person a question and whatever kaylee or sarah, they would argue with them, or get an answer. they wanted to make the administration look bad.
5:14 am
during the biden administration, reporters in that room are asking very respectable and hard questions but not as vicious as it was in the last four years. >> i cannot wait to watch this but kaylee is brilliant, she started at fox a long time ago. when she was working the overnight shift, as an intern, she -- she would come in and say help me with the teleprompter and as someone used to do that for me that is what we do. i am proud of her to say she was the white house spokesperson under president of the united states, she had a baby in the middle of that, she got covid-19 and showed the picture, couldn't even pick him her baby but was working really hard. i wish her all the best, whatever her endeavors are going forward. brian: these reporters try to
5:15 am
get famous on her back, she was more prepared than them. >> she can hold your own. >> you are doing the news. >> district of flooding ravages the state. they emerged in water with residents forced to evacuate. the kentucky river expected to crest at 38 feet this week. thousands waking up without power this morning. republican senator mitt romney offering democrats a compromise on raising the minimum wage. the plan would raise the minimum wage to $10 over four years starting a year after the pandemic ends. after that wages will rise automatically every two years due to inflation which comes as bernie sanders and elizabeth warren urge the senate to
5:16 am
ignore the parliamentarians ruling the $15 hike cannot be added to the coronavirus relief deal. and president biden taking a statement from his own press secretary on sending vaccines to mexico. >> we are going to talk about that. >> just before that jen psaki rejected it. >> the president made clear, ensuring vaccines are accessible to every american, that is our focus. >> the united states current vaccines apply is around 600 million doses, no joy in whovillain dr. seuss's birthday, it will start being published because of racist imagery, what i saw on mulberry street. the news comes as president biden skipped during his
5:17 am

todd: with the senate taking up the $2 trillion relief to later this week 22 governors are objecting to allocating stimulus funds by their unemployment rate rather than per capita.
5:23 am
they are paying the price for others failed policy and the governor of the brassica peter ricketts joined us from omaha. good morning. >> good morning, thanks for having me on. steve: in a state like new york where the unemployment rate is 8.2% new york is going to get a lot more money than nebraska which has unemployment at 3%. why is this formula democrats of come up with unfair to so many across this country? >> this formula that rewards people with high employment is something that will penalize state to do the right thing, states like nebraska but not just nebraska, iowa, kansas, a lot of states in the midwest trying to strike a balance between slowing the spread of the virus and people who live in hawaii. we had the lowest unemployment rate for five months in a row but by striking that balance this will reward states that didn't do that. steve: they are rewarding
5:24 am
states that locked down. we heard follow the science, tools can be open in nebraska and you did things very efficiently and unemployment is low and you get shortchanged. >> not just nebraska but 33 states. it is a political payback to big blue states. it is a patently unfair thing, the previous stimulus packages from this pandemic, all done on a per capita basis, the fair way to do it. steve: if we could put that map up for a second, look at nebraska just above my home state of kansas, north dakota, south dakota, nebraska, these are three of the states affected by the keystone pipeline, justin trudeau, the
5:25 am
prime minister of canada, said joe biden is not going to want it and pulled the plug on it. that is costing millions of dollars in lost property taxes in jobs as well. >> this decision by the biden administration is bad for nebraska, costing us jobs, property tax dollars for schools and roads but also bad for our country and energy independence. you have to ask why would we want to have this pipeline, so we can tell energy to our friends rather than buy it from our enemies. steve: that is why we are trying to highlight it. steve: straight ahead families vote to oust george x scone and because of his soft on crime policy.
