for 7, driving through the hole in the border fence near calexico port of entry. the suv driver was apparently able to evade mobile cameras in the area. but the driver was killed along with 12 other passengers in the crash. the driver of the big rig fortunately survived. fox also told, steve, that a second vehicle entered illegally through the same hole but was stopped by border agents. meanwhile, it's all hands on deck here in washington as dhs projects 117,000 unaccompanied minors will cross the border this fiscal year 2021, drastically higher. you can see than previous years. officials are advising they will need 20,000 more beds asap but white house press secretary jen psaki still not calling it a crisis, watch. >> we had the secretary of homeland security conveying it's a challenge. we provided numbers publicly

about how serious the challenge is. we are approaching this humanely and we are approaching -- >> griff: the president was asked about it, here is what he had to say? >> did you get a briefing about the border today? >> yes, i did. >> what did you learn? >> a lot. griff: this as ice locks its twitter alert account that provides information about fugitives at large. it's been active since 2013, last tweet was january 21st of this year. ice says that the account will no longer be used under the new administration but they will continue using the main account to communicate with the public. steve, ainsley, brian. steve: griff, thank you very much. in addition to -- so as griff detailed there, they may not call it a crisis. mayorkas called it a challenge or something like that. it's a mess and the problem is they invented this mess themselves because they have done their very best to get rid

as many of donald trump's actions and executive orders as possible. what's interesting is now they will have so many young people at the southern border, apparently the department of homeland security is going to end the strict vetting of the sponsors and that's how they will get the kids out of the shelters quickly. they will find as many sponsors as they can. hhhs has said, we will pay for transportation and they may also stop asking for social security numbers, ainsley, and brian which would speed things up and perhaps you don't have to be an american to sponsor one of those children. ainsley: they are expecting 117,000 unaccompanied minors that are going to cross the border this year alone. congressman henry cuellar he's a democrat, he's down there in the san antonio area and represents a lot of the border area as well. he said he doesn't think it's a crisis yet but the numbers have been increasing and the number of unaccompanied kids and

families are coming in and just increasing every day. he said the influx would not slow down until the president takes action, brian. brian: here is stephen miller who designed so much of the president's border policies that were so effective. ainsley: president trump. brian: we are in the midst of a crisis and self-inflicted. self-inflicted. you played an interview with jay johnson, we had 4,000 apprehensions a day. over the ensuing two years, we put into place a series of tools, remain in mexico, asylum deals with central america that allowed us to return asylum seekers there so they can share the burden and public health measures, collectively which ended catch and release. all those measures implemented so by the time we left the border was under control, illegal immigrants were safely and humanely returned home and the surge of minors and the

surge of families had stopped. brian: there's nothing human abe about allowing unaccompany minors and placing them in american homes because now you're inviting all those kids and all those drug traffickers or human traffickers to go ahead and be open for business and now why is it fair for kids to show up at our border and get a place and sponsor that hasn't been qualified, why is it okay for the brazilian, the caribbean, the african who is doing it the right way, the syrian who is waiting in line, wait a second. all they have to do is walk across the border? i get schooling and a place to stay and i get a family in america. how does he think he's solving this problem? ainsley: you bring up a good point. these people that house them are going to have to be vetted to make sure you're not getting a crazy person that wants the kids to come and liver. brian: they are going to a school system that's already overtaxed. steve: but as i said a moment

ago, the department of homeland security is relaxing the vetting process because, you know what's causing the log jam, there's a pandemic and they have coronavirus protocols and they are trying to keep kids further apart but they are going to relax those even though the coronavirus restrictions are supposed to apply all in the name of trying to get as many kids out the door and into america as possible. brien: those 25 people in the expedition, were they social distancing, they were laying on top of each other when they crashed into a semitruck. ainsley: they took out the backseats. that expedition was supposed to only seat 8 people. brian: i had one. ainsley: 25 people were in that. brian: but it's okay. ainsley: let's talk about texas. it's time to reopen the governor says. he says no longer are we going to have to wear a mask and businesses can fully reopen.

100% will be open. he says we are -- the masks are no longer mandatory because there's recoveries, vaccinations, safe practices. he's still saying to be safe and be smart but do what's right for your family. here he is. >> this must end. it is now time to open texas 100%. [cheers and applause] >> everybody who wants to work, should have that opportunity. every business that wants to be open, should be open. remember this, removing state mandates does not end personal responsibility, personal vigilance to follow the safe standards is still needed to contain covid. it's just that now state mandates are no longer needed.

steve: and one of the things she had said, in texas, he said over the last year some businesses have only been open 50 or 75% which it's so laughable because we are here in new york city where indoor dining is, what, 35% which is crazy. so everything is bigger in texas and more open in texas, but the keys are, the fact that he said, look, you know, coronavirus is still here and so we have to use personal responsibility and do the smart thing. he said essentially that businesses while they don't have to mandate masks, they can have their own rules and they can ask somebody to -- if you're going to come in here, you have to have a mask on, however, the business will no longer be able to say, hey, we got the law on our side because texas has ended that. brian: ultimate complement. governor doesn't like it at all. he wakes up every day and gets

gel and drops his kids at private school. beto o'rourke still around, death warrant for texans. giving texas anticipates an opportunity to go to a restaurant or go to work is a death sentence. not demanding jillian castro, this decision isn't based on science at all. houston mayor is not aboutate. the austin mayor is not happy about it but guess what, the people of texas as much as they love the american flag love the texas flag are relishing their freedom. mississippi did the same thing. in texas it's effective marchs h tenth. ainsley: 15 states that don't have to wear a mask. brian: if you go to florida, they are wearing a mask. when you go out, you take it off. but what they've done in new york is created such belligerence and anger. you have inspectors running into kitchen trying to find a cook with a mask below their nose so

they can take the restaurant's liquor license away. hey, if you work out in the gym, do you mind if it drops down. there's a friendliness to the states that the lockdowns don't have. steve: so much was unknown, you know, and the president and the government scientists, remember, that? well, ultimately, they said we have to close everything down. now things are happening in states like texas and florida and elsewhere. look, we could have kept businesses open with common sense restrictions. wear a mask and social distance and wipe surfaces down and purell your hands. nonetheless, as we heard governor abbott make clear, ultimately it comes down to personal responsibility, do the

smart thing, texas, and the science says you have to do those things. but the media, a lot of people in it don't like what mr. abbott is doing. here is proof. >> there's some really disturbing news today out of the state of texas. one thing that you will say we will bet businesses open back up but there's no upside to repealing a mask mandate at this point in the mandate. >> governor abbott has lost his mind. >> this is obviously a political ploy on the part of the governor. >> the only reason i could say is because of what happened in texas that someone dropped the ball and they are trying to change the conversation. that's it, a distraction. >> this is part of the prevailing macho sentimentality that strong and wrong is the way to go. >> texas governor said covid be dead, everybody open, you get some covid, you get some covid and you get some covid. steve: i don't remember that part. brian: i don't either. those states that want to open

up and let kids go to school, you know what they're looking at psychological damage, i don't ever dozes up 19% and depression among adults 50%. so while you sit there and lock down, kids are wasting away and sadly some of those are losing their lives and for governor newsom to have a negative thing to say while he can't open schools while he has been dropping his kids off of school, on top of that, didn't joe biden say isn't everybody going to be vaccinated by may or we had an immune and we had it, you look at the vaccines and you see -- you realize we are quickly going to get to herd immunity and people they just want to end, they want to start life again in september, forget it. ainsley: i read this morning that they'll be a vaccine available for every single american i think it was in may.

steve: in may. ainsley: cdc says if it's under this percentage, you can open and that's what the governors are deciding to do. if you're worried, do what some people i know. they are in their 70's and 80's, they are deciding to stay home until everyone does have the vaccine. it does give you the option to make a choice for your family. brian: no shopping mandate. no shopping mandate, there's no restaurant mandate. there's a thing called freedom, i think. steve: personal responsibility. do the smart thing given everything that we know. all right. as you could see a very busy wednesday. let's dial in carley shimkus, she joins us right now. carley, the news is starting with the weather. carley: extreme weather at that. look at this video showing rising flood waters in eastern kentucky following several days of powerful storms. mandatory evacuations are underway over fears a damn could burst. in lee county, first responders using a boat to save covid-19

vaccines from going to waste after the health department was flooded. the governor says the vaccines were all safely recovered. thankfully. a 26-year-old sailor is dead and 5 others are hurt after a convoy of military trucks triggered a chain reaction crash in california. police say one of the trucks slowed down caused another to push forward into the cab killing the driver. the survivors were taken to the hospital for treatment. the crash is under investigation. listen to this, a new poll shows two-thirds of voters say cancel culture is a threat to freedom. the harbor harris poll finding 64% of respondents feel cancel culture poses real threat to the american way of life. the poll director telling big-tech companies like twitter and facebook to be ware because the public sees them acting out of bias tilted towards democrats. that poll does not come as a surprise to me, guys.

ainsley: there is thunder here in new york. not literally but this scandal is just getting bigger and bigger involving our governor andrew cuomo. the latest, our leaders up in albany, senate majority leader andrea and assembly speaker hasty is saying it's time to remove emergency powers. he gets to make decisions about covid and after what happened with not reporting all the

numbers of nursing home deaths and what's happening with the women saying that they have been sexual assaulted by him, the leadership in albany is saying enough is enough. steve: yeah, but here is the thing, carl who is the assembly speaker and ally of mr. cuomo, he says that they're stripping him of his emergency powers but it has nothing to do with the scandals. i'm not kidding. here is the statement. he said a year into the pandemic and new yorkers received the vaccine and temporary emergency powers have served their purpose. it is time for them to be repealed. the temporary emergency powers were granted as new york was devastated by a virus we knew nothing about. now it's time for our government to return to regular order. so it has nothing to do with the scandals. it has all to do with everything governor cuomo has done such a good job, we can reel it back. although you read the fine print and it says that governor cuomo can still say you know what, i want restaurants to be back at

12% occupancy. any existing orders he can still go ahead and -- >> steve: they are suing the state government and when you get a lawsuit, you get close to fruition whether it's playing sports or opening up a restaurant that's when he begins to give in. it's because of the scandal that they now in one week feel empowered to take these powers away and it's because we had the accusers have come forward and i think it's interesting, though, despite every problem that he has had, the nursing home scandal the biggest, he's got the sexual assault allegations against him. 3 and who knows if that number is going to grow. axios are writing and waiting for the allegations to fully surface. they still look at him as a king maker for the next mayoral

campaign. when it comes to the next governor, looks like he's dead in the water but not many people think he's dead politically mainly because he has nowhere to go. the guy who hates the most is mayor bill de blasio and he's not missing any opportunity to go after his nemesis, listen. >> if these allegations are true, he cannot govern. he would not be able to govern. it's as simple as that. you have to have trust from the people and if you can't maintain that trust, you can't govern. steve: okay, so harvard harris did a poll over the last couple of days, governor cuomo's net favorability rating is minus 11. it's fallen 22 since july. ainsley: they loved him back last year. steve: until they found out

why not? a thousand kids will come this year. >> given the role that hhs has in working with cooperation with dhs when it comes to opening our borders. his position on this is concerning the office of refugee resettlement as you'll recall reside within hhs. hhs is responsible for the structure around uac's, how long they are there, if they're tested for covid. so while the hhs role is understood one focused on health care, when you really understand the far reach of hhs you see it go into the immigration policies and it's critical that we have someone at the helm especially at a time like this that understands the crisis at the border and internal crisis across the country. steve: exactly. if it's the health and human services during the pandemic, the person should be a doctor. i'm just saying why couldn't joe

biden put a doctor in that job? >> if not a doctor, at least a healthcare professional and mr. becerra's healthcare experience is going after and suing catholic nuns for religious beliefs and trying to force the contraception mandate on them which by the way went all the way to the supreme court. he's not a doctor and he has healthcare experience, but i'm not sure i would count lawsuits against catholic nuns of the type of healthcare experience we want at the helm and leader of hhs. >> you have a problem on his stance on religious liberty? >> very much so. his role as attorney general in california was to go after pregnancy researching centers, to go after catholic nuns and the little sisters and it shows extremism on social issues which are part of the hhs mandate. we want the ads to shed light on this and we want senators to

embolden to vote no and we think by biden's withdrawal of tandem, they need to wake up agenda biden is putting forward. steve: neera tanden pulled and now it seems like it all comes down to joe manchin once again, the most power man in the universe. >> well, biden's decision to withdraw tanden is the first public defeat of the biden manage. it's a god thing, that's right, so what manchin does now is up to anyone except -- up to everyone except for him. he will make the choice and the reality is tanden going to be the token no vote or be the moderating force against the extreme biden agenda and that's

the way he does. he's big into electrolytes. steve: and avocados. brian: this is how great his life is. even bridget who he had controversial relationship before he got married, they get along great. i'm looking like this guy has combat it going on almost like pete hegseth, live at family restaurant in north carolina. you are like the tom brady of fox? pete: no i don't. have you met me? zero championships, no electrolytes. it's true. what i will say we are playing the princeton thing because i got criticism because maybe regular folks know about the

country and the constitution so we are here at pete's restaurant in north carolina, i don't think there are any ivy league graduates except myself and maybe i can use the knowledge to share with everybody else and maybe they do know a few things because we have a lot of vets, patriots, we will be talking to them all morning for breakfast with friends. we are having fun, guys. steve: good to have you down there, all right, pete, thanks. ainsley: tell me fellow carolinans hello. brian: should we talk immigration? i was starting to think that we could look at what is happening at the border where the biden administration is arguing the migrant surge is a challenge not a crisis. peter doocy is live outside the white house with more, peter. peter: good morning, president biden is saying he thinks his administration has things under control at the border.

>> did you receive a briefing about the border today? >> yes, i did. >> what did you learn? >> a lot. [inaudible] peter: the briefing he says he got included eye-popping numbers, the number of kids crossing the border will break all-time record by 45% and at those facilities the government uses to hold them, the same ones critics call cages during the trump administration, the feds are 20,000 beds short since biden's policy is not to send any unaccompanied kids back to their home countries. >> we had the secretary of homeland security yesterday conveying it's a challenge. we provided numbers publicly about how serious that challenge is. we are approaching this humanely and we are approaching this -- >> peter: remember as candidate,

former vice president biden said concerning deportations that the reason things didn't change concerning immigration when he was vp because he was not the president but this is not the change he was referring to, back to you. steve: peter, last week you asked jen psaki, given the fact that there's a surge on the southern border, you said, so many people wanted to know more about the facility which they used to call the place where they had the kids in cages, you said it was kids in containers and you asked whether or not reporters would be able to inspect the facility and she said, you have to ask dhs, have we heard from dhs yet in peter: multiple outlets have been asking and hhs with the children are being held most often has said no because of covid-19 restrictions at these facilities. steve: i wonder why they don't want us to see it, interesting, peter. brian: we wear masks, we keep our distance, we could get a

telescope and stand outside if there are windows in the containers, because if you look at the numbers it's stunning. the spike of unaccompanied minors at the border, it's unmanageable. you have -- in 2017 there was 50,000, that was a lot. in in 2019 it went up to 80. through executive orders and learning from mistakes they got it down to 3,000 in 2020. now it is out of control because of mixed messages of take down the wall, no deportations for 100 days, come one come all. if you're an unaccompany minor you get to stay. that's a go sign for hondurans, guatemalan, will salvadorians let alone mexicans. ainsley: doesn't that mean there's a crisis down there? steve: you would think so but they say it's not a crisis it's

a challenge. crisis, challenge, catastrophe. it is a mess. they can't call it a crisis because they wanted this ultimately although they are surprised at the number of people who have actually shown up. that's why they keep saying, now is not the time to come. we will tell you when the time to come. what they have to do now is they have to manage this not a crisis, but ainsley and brian, when you look at some of the things that jen psaki has referred to as a crisis in the past you wonder why isn't this a crisis because it certainly could rise to the same level? >> you're talking about her tweet, not just donald trump ignored experts and science but true for the climate crisis too. it can't be safe for all of the children that come over there, unaccompanied as you were saying, 117,000, they are expected alone and where are

their parents and they can't be safe? some of them are really young and so if they want -- if -- i think we all, everyone wants to keep them safe, why don't they just speed up the immigration process, vet them, make sure they go through the process just like everyone else who did it legally, speed up process because it's not a 5-year thing. some moms come to the country and can't see them for 5 years. we are proimmigration. do it the right way. brian: but if you will come in a refugee status, 80, 90% don't qualify because there's a way to do it. there's a lot of people that want to come here. yeah, you have to prove that your life is in danger and qualify through a series of steps through our immigration system and you go in and you get your moment and what president trump said, when you come you go right back. when you get to the border, you stay in mexico. 71,000 people sitting in mexico.

mexico is unprecedented cooperation and when the -- when the unaccompanied minors came here they went back right away and when people got processed, you know what the word went to triangle countries. we can't come. it's not a good time. they are building the wall. not to keep people out but organized. if you're brazilian, you every right to get here or not to be here as an el salvadoran as well as anybody from africa, caribbean, costa rica. why should it be that some people cross the border and get here first and the other people doing it right have to stand back? it's not right. steve: and ultimately what makes this different than what we've seen in the past as we saw from the graph, the numbers of people crossing in the country illegally has gone down until joe biden took over and now the number is up. we've never seen these kinds of numbers during a global pandemic and griff jenkins just sent us something through a spokesman

for the city of brownsville, texas. 108 migrants released by border patrol have since tested positive for covid-19 since january the 25th. they represent 6.3 of those tested since they began to administer and in other words, all the people have been exposed and testing positive for covid. in new york city that would be the metric by which they shut everything down but nonetheless brownsville, texas does not have the authority but the federal government to tell people, hey, you have to stop -- you have to turn around. you can't come into the country. they just have to release them

into the country and then where do they go from there? that's the -- brian: they come and don't speak english and working-class neighborhoods where schools are overtaxed, undertaxed, underfinanced and teachers are already stressed and the 20-person class is now 30-person people and these kids, ten more who don't speak english need special services. is it fair to the american kids that they are here? the answer is no. it's okay to come here because we will place you in america. they go with human traffickers where the parents sacrifice their life savings to get their kids here and they get the wrong signal when they get here. there's nothing humane about the process. joe biden is making a fundamental error of somebody with no governmental experience. he knows better. he paid for the wall in 2006. now he wants to destroy it in 2021. this is a self-made joe biden administration error. steve: during a pandemic where those numbers that i just cited says -- say that they, the

migrants could be spreading this particular pandemic across the country at a time when we are trying to see these numbers go down. ainsley: let's cover some more headlines because carley is filling in for jillian today. carley: we will start with a fox news alert. new video shows to be used as launch pad in overnight rocket attack on an iraqi air base housing u.s. troops. the truck completely destroyed after going up in flames. at least 10 rockets targeted the air base in western iraq. no deaths are reported and no one has claimed responsibility for the attack. the base is the same one struck by iranian missiles last year. it comes days after president biden ordered an air strike on iran-backed militants in syria. a 14-year-old boy charged in drive-by killing of a denver mom. police say pamela was sitting in her car on the way home when she

was shot and killed. authorities are looking to try the 14-year-old as an adult. an 18-year-old is also charged for allegedly driving the get away car. she leaves a 6-year-old son. my gosh. sending pine tree through roof of massachusetts home. thankfully nobody was hurt. the powerful winds knocked out power to more than 30,000 homes in the northeast, nearly 24,000 are still without power. 25,000, my goodnesses. those are your headlines, guys. ainsley: yes. let's talk about cancel culture because this is something that people are talking about down in the diners and in every state across the country because it's getting worse and worse. our former president was canceled on social media, in fact, so when asked through the poll, the cancel culture pose a threat of freedom in the u.s.

64% said yes, 36% said no. we saw an example of it yesterday, yesterday was march second, it was dr. seuss' birthday, he would have been 117 year's old. the publishing company heard from a lot of people, started with one county in virginia and then it kind of blew up all over the country, you know, what we will pull the books y'all don't like because they portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong. his stepdaughter said there was not a racist bone in the man's body. he was acutely aware of the world around him and cared so much. steve: jen psaki was asked about read across america day yesterday at the white house and why did the administration do that exactly and see if you can find an answer in this. >> the proclamation was written by the department of education and you could certainly speak to them about more specifics about

the drafting of it but read across america day which you're right has not existed forever. it's only been around for a short period of time, elevates and celebrates a love of reading among our nation's youngest leaders and the day also is a chance to celebrate diverse authors. >> so did the omission have anything to do with the controversy about the lack of diverse characters in the authors books? >> well, i think it is important that children of all backgrounds see themselves in the children's books that they read. but i would point you to the department of education for any more details on the rating of the proclamation. brian: right, so jen psaki would not commit to dr. seuss but i have bad news. this guy named president barack obama did. april of 2015. >> pretty much all -- all the stuff is about the --

[inaudible] >> why would they treat differently? [laughter] [inaudible] brian: was it a really bad world that we were living in when president obama in 2015 said read across america day and started like every other president started with dr. seuss and president said something similar and ended with a rhyme, it doesn't. if you read dr. seuss which i never thought i would read, there's not a racist bone of his body. he was aware of civil rights and moving things forward. he's the exact right messenger for the kids and gutless publishers pulled six more books. they want to cancel shakespeare,

aristotle, they want to cancel the muppets. when would this stop? if democrats want to lose an election, do what you're doing in the border and do what we count on in america because nonpolitical people that are really extremely upset about what is happening in america right now and even though we feel ridiculous having mr. potato head as a talking point and dr. seuss as a subject of debate, that's exactly what's happening in our country. that's what is scaring even the europeans about america today. they are saying, keep this culture and this cancel culture away from us which is embarrassing. we used to lead the world with culture. steve: well, dr. seuss is still a big, big entity in the publishing world. according to forbes magazine, he is the number 2 dead celebrity

last year, the dr. seuss enterprises took in $33 million because so many people are still loving and reading the cat and the hat. ainsley: who is number 1? steve: michael jackson. brian: very different. ainsley: cat in the hat says don't cancel that. steve: i went down in the basement, we have every toy. we have all the books. i looked at some -- i looked at some of the books on the list that they are no longer going to publish, they were written 50 years ago. some of the imagery has not aged well, so the good news is aside from those six, they have decided to go ahead and print the catalog. ainsley: i know that we have to go, when barack obama talked to do crowd, what i loved about the video, he was saying the

characters and they were all laughing because we grew up with the characters. 7:18 now suing the state and joins governor whitmer is following governor cuomo's playbook and we will find out why that person thinks so next.

[applause] steve: fantastic. ainsley: you have to get it. all the wonderful people that she interviewed and all the good things that they are doing for other people and everyone has a story and their pictures are in there. perfect time to release this. steve: we all need a little sunshine. brian: janice, i have bad news, i have toes to it over to carley shimkus who is always in a bad mood. hopefully she's in a better mood today. you're in a better mood for a change? carley: that's our little secret. we have to get to headlines here. christopher wray testifies on capitol hill warning senators about the rise of domestic terrorism in the u.s. >> the problem of domestic terrorism has been for a long time now and it's not going away any time soon.

at the fbi, we have been sounding the alarm for a number of years. carley: wray says the bureau has 2,000 domestic terrorisms doubled the number from 4 years ago. michigan house members are calling for the national guard to end its food service contract after underlooked and contaminated food leave some soldiers sick. the representatives are calling for a new food vender or per diem to be provided, it is completely unacceptable that our men and women serving in washington, d.c. are being hospitalized due to the food they are being provided. tom brady opens up about the moment he threw lombardi trophy during super bowl parade. >> was there any bit of this thinking, what do i do if this goes in the water? >> i was not thinking. carley: what a great response. brady through the trophy

thankfully one of his teammates to catch it. it is their job to catch things and throw things, guys. steve: well, he might have been thinking and he could have been drinking. ainsley: great t-shirt. brian: dr. seuss. there you go. steve: coming up, a lot of young americans are struggling in silence in isolations and it's a major issue largely ignored and she's going to join us live next.

steve: troubling new report shows teenager mental claims have doubled compared to 2019, overdoses and self-harm. tommy talked to the national recovery center to shed light on what americans struggle in silence and that's addiction. >> i don't think there's any way to explain it other than we just been lost in the shuffle. lots and lots of people have been just completely severed from resources. addiction, mental health all live in isolation and that's exactly what's happened to people that have been stuck in

the house and away from resources. steve: they've been stuck in the house. tommy, joins us right now. when you look at year over year data, the number of young people who have gone to the doctor has gone down but the number of people seeking help or mental health or addiction has doubled? >> we like to see that people are getting help but the problem with the lockdowns and the shutdowns that have gone on for nearly a year now there's many that haven't been able to get the help they need, not only the help of seeing a therapist but the fellowship of going to aaa meeting and be in a group of people. recovery is a life-long process and not something that you get over and so many that were recovering before the pandemic. the pandemic hit, they lost their jobs, they couldn't be around friends and family and they struggled in silence and that's what we explore in the latest episode. the left has not been talking about the mental health crisis that's been worsened and sustained with these lockdowns.

we so the covid numbers and we see the economic impact but people are not talking about mental health the way they need to be talking about it. it is a crisis right now. steve: here is an excerpt from your special that's out today on fox nation. you talk with a man named darren. >> they've got meetings that are open for addicts and people in recovery. can you talk to me about that. >> going back to the very beginnings of covid lockdown in davidson county. zero businesses opened from hospital and my home except for one and that was the liquor store. the day before there had been 900 weekly meetings of predominantly 12-step fellowship and at the time zero were allowed to meet. steve: tommy, real quickly, they want help but help is problematic right now during the pandemic. >> well it certainly is.

here in nashville when we shot a couple of weeks ago, aaa meetings had just reopened in nashville. we had liquor stores and bars open for more than 6 months or more. our local leaders need to be paying attention to this and take seriously. it's more than just covid numbers. pay attention to mental health. it's important. steve: you're right. absolutely. check out the latest episode of no interruptions streaming now on fox nation which is a members only streaming service. tomi, thank you very much for joining us live. big hour still ahead. senator marco rubio and congressman dan crenshaw. ♪ ♪ ♪ ..

table next to you, see your teacher, it is so fun. >> people would bottleneck our stuff if we just leave. speaking of leaving, to the mexican border of texas, 108 migrants have tested positive for covid-19 and this was after they were released by cvp agents as they were getting on a bus. griff jenkins joins us live from washington. rapid tests to people before they get on the bus. all these people have covid-19, can't get on the bus. >> reporter: a troubling story out of brownsville, texas. the story first appearing in telemundo that these migrants

tested positive representing 643%, rapid testing from january 20 fifth. where border patrol releases them. the city does not have the authority to refrain from traveling to other cities throughout the country but only able to advise them to quarantine on cdc guidelines and socially distance. what we see here, 117,000 unaccompanied children will cross the border in 2021. it is higher than previous years. official advising 20,000 more beds to handle for surge. jen psaki at the white house

not calling this a crisis. >> the secretary of homeland security conveying it as a challenge. he provided numbers publicly how serious the challenge is. we are approaching this humanely. >> reporter: president biden was asked about it and here's what he had to say. >> we have a briefing about the border today? >> yes i did. >> what did you learn? >> a lot. we will be able to handle it. >> reporter: human smuggling operation turned tragic in california late yesterday afternoon suv crammed with 25 call lighting with a big rig after driving through the border fence at the port of entry. the suv driver with 1200 passengers in the crash, the driver survived. wonderful sources told sources the second vehicle crossed through that and was apprehended by agents. an investigation is underway.

steve: so this is something that is not accurately reported. when i was watching abc this morning, this expedition call lighted by the border with a tractor-trailer, a group of illegal immigrants cut through the fence, it is an old-fashioned fence, cut through, should never be replaced now because joe biden doesn't want to replace that but head to another semitruck where the new york times has 14 people are now dead, 25 traveling in an expedition that can be handling 3 but when you have that at the border, don't say we will have open hearts or have to understand people wants to come here, hurricanes and

national disasters have happened. this is what happens with open borders and anyone -- think about this. driving on the highway and get bit by next edition, that guys traumatize about what is going on when you have 25 bodies strewn across the road. ainsley: if we want to bring them over safely let them do it the right way. this happens when they are risking their lives to come across to this great country, passing in a small suv, 7 or 8 people, 25 of them were in there to come over for a better life but if they do the right way, speed up the process to get people into our country and do it the right way, then this kind of thing we can minimize this type of thing. steve: it is a tragedy that happened but it is part of what is happening on the southern border, the administration is reluctant to call a crisis because they essentially, once

joe biden is inaugurated it is going to be an open border as we heard people from the political right have said and it looks like it. going back to what is going on in texas after people are processed and released into the country, gone through border patrol and come back in a couple months and have your hearing or whatever, so many get on the bus and something like 6% of them tested positive for coronavirus. those are just the people who get on the bus. if you know you've got coronavirus are you going to get on a bus, do people on the bus no they've got 8 people on the bus, the cdc website says do not travel if any of your companions are sick, cdc can restrict travel with people known to have covid-19. all these people in brownsville, texas, getting onto a bus, with healthy people

and the government is not stopping them. the texas people say we don't have the authority. why isn't the federal government allowing people into the country who have covid-19. why? they don't want to say x. we let them go anyway so they don't test them at that point and that is a problem. >> only for business purposes but we are letting illegal immigrants in and 5 separate nations, no idea who these people are. this is all, this is a national disaster. in texas there is consternation because governor abbott said we are open for business. >> this must end. it is now time to open texas 100%.

everybody who wants to work should have that opportunity. every business that wants to be open should be open. remember this. removing state mandates does not end personal responsibility. personal vigilance to follow the safe standards is needed to contain covid-19. it is just that now state mandates are no longer needed. >> he saying you don't have to wear a mask and open our businesses. still be smart, be safe but do what is right for your family and you keep saying personal responsibility. >> they didn't have to lock the country down, keep businesses open as long as they follow the science. ainsley: i have a list of all the states have done away with

mask mandates, 19 states. alaska, arizona, georgia, florida, iowa, mississippi, missouri, montana, nebraska, north dakota, south carolina, south dakota, tennessee. but if you listen to some on the left they are so appalled that he would do this. he's not the only one. governor newsom said absolutely reckless. beto or, death warrant for texans. this decision isn't based in science at all. brian: keep in mind joe biden doesn't like that because he said 100 days i want everyone to wear masks. he also said the vaccines were going to be out to everyone by may. we have a third vaccine thanks to operation warp speed combined with merck to get expedited out to us. all the people who had it have immunity. i think things will pick up the

pace, people are tired of sitting on the sidelines and not moving their lives in the media who gets to go to work and get paid and nothing changes them and maybe it is better for them to work out of their house, they are outraged by this. >> disturbing news out of the state of texas. it is one thing to set say you let businesses open up but there is no upside to repealing a mask mandates at this point in the pandemic. >> governor abbott has lost his mind. >> this is a political ploy on the part of the governor. the only reason i can see is because of what happened in texas, someone dropped the ball and they are trying to change the conversation. >> this is part of this prevailing macho sentimentality that strong and wrong is the way to go. >> the texas governor said go ahead and open up, you get some covid-19, you get some covid-19. ainsley: did he say that?

brian: how well is that going? such a compliment that gavin newsom to be critical of your policies, has been absolutely wrong and drops his kids off at private school, shut down the entire state. ainsley: no one else is allowed to. if he has a problem with you, that is out of the back. what the governor is doing is all businesses can be open, 50% or 75% and a business can decide whether or not they want to ensure people have to wear masks. each business will decide. ainsley: you just don't get arrested. steve: a business can restrict -- refuse you service but can't say it is a state mandates, the state mandate has gone away but a number of people in texas,

not the appropriate thing but the governor said vaccine distribution with decisions, with 93% are unvaccinated. let's talk about new york. lindsay oilin, they all accused andrew cuomo, the love government nicknamed by his brother who can't talk to him on camera anymore, sexual harassment. the problem with the nursing homes, he maintained a lawyer for that where he seems to be part of an operation to shield everyone for the number of nursing home deaths, often by 8000 and people are suing him for that. his career is on a respirator and he got another body below. the democratic dominated legislature put together a

piece of legislation with absolute emergency powers he has relished in exhibiting, and as new yorkers, temporary emergency powers, was devastated by the virus. no one is going to vote for this. 1700 democrats call for him to resign and they are taking his powers away. >> when you look at his approval rating, his net favorability rating now is minus 11. ainsley: hard to go lower than 0. steve: there have been close to

1500 lawsuits related to the pandemic since january of 2021. before i talked to janice dean on the phone to check in with her because she had a tough year. why did he insist on putting people in these nursing homes when we knew that you can't put six -- sick covid-19 people in with elderly who have their own medical issues, we are trying to get to the bottom of that. ron kelly, assemblyman, trying to find out why. some people said she got double the amount of money from the state if you took a covid-19 patient, trying to figure out what drove this. it had to be something because it doesn't make sense. steve: arbitrary shutdown and distractions are out of business. one business is decimated and there is no rhyme or reason to it.

they were told just a don't open up. i'm not even on the grid or in the hospital. i have decided opening up and you're going to pull me down, movie theaters but not comedy clubs. he took on jerry seinfeld a few months ago, suing the governor. he had enough. listen. >> it has been very difficult. coming up on one year now. financially it has been very difficult. businesses are opening up around us. we don't understand why we can't do that. brian: doing it in texas and ohio, no reason to torture new york owners with skyhigh rent and you tell them they can't even earn a living. brian: that is why they are pulling the plug on emergency

powers, don't cancel that but get rid of what that we are talking about. emergency powers. >> texas allowing businesses to fully reopen. congressman dan crenshaw introduced a bill to end all lockdowns for good. we talk to him about that. ♪♪ just what i needed ♪♪

xfinity. the future of awesome. about the border today. >> if they did. >> what did you learn? >> a lot. >> is there a crisis at the border?

steve: president biden argues the surge at the southern border is not a crisis. his denial comes amid reports protecting 117,000, 30% higher than the most we had. the administration doesn't have enough beds available. dan crenshaw, good morning to you. it is not a crisis at the southern border. all these people being released by the federal government into the united states something like 6% of them have covid-19 and we can't stop them. >> the usual euphemism, it is not a crisis, it is a challenge, not a cage but a structure and this is the truth.

democrats and joe biden want this. in the past they used to say we want border security but we don't want trump's -- we shouldn't believe that. the agreement stopping the border crisis, rip up those asylum agreements. as biden was getting inaugurated. here we come. they reinstitute the practice of catch and release in your show but lines of people, you know who they are cutting in front of, legal immigrants, my stepmother is a legal immigrants, legally immigrated to this country, did it the right way. what is infuriating about the covid-19 positive cases, us citizens have to get a negative

test before coming back into our country, illegal immigrants over us citizens. steve: according to actio's, joe biden was being told it is not a crisis, they need 20,000 more beds. so many kids at the southern border are starting to relax the bedding of who can sponsor that in the country. they are so desperate to get people into the country, some people in the store that griff was talking about, they told, in maryland, new jersey, and who else knows, who knows where else, exposure to covid-19 when

they are still infected. >> what immediately needs to happen is reinstitute the migrant protection protocols, the remaining mexico policy. this single-handedly dropped -- what it does is a portion of the illegal crossings on any given day gets sent back to mexico city are claiming asylum, claims are bogus, they are not being persecuted in any way but it creates a disincentive to cross because they know they will be sent back to mexico. when you say if you cross, we will give your bus ticket anywhere you want no matter what covid-19 you have. there is a massive incentive for thousands more people to come across and a drag children with them and the worst part about this is this encourages child trafficking. i talked to a lot of border agents who see these kids recycle over and over because all they knew was they needed a

kid. steve: governor abbott yesterday, all the restrictions on a statewide basis and i know maps and everything else. you mentioned is antilock the legislation to end the shutdown during the pandemic. it is called the end lockdowns now act. pretty clear what that is all about. >> lockdowns don't work. study after study after study has shown this. we have a year's worth of data, the most recent out of stanford and it concluded there is no additional benefits to homeowners, no additional benefits to closing businesses. extremely high cost action, no benefit. covid-19 happened. it is the pandemic. i don't know why the left can't understand this. they are in love with lockdowns and mandates, they believe it is safer because they are anti-science, the left is antipsychotic, they don't listen to the data, they don't listen to the science. it is not federal overreach either.

it has for relief money to a reopening plan. it is important when you have citizens of california, new york being destroyed by their government, they have no reopening plan and no light at the end of the tunnel, the second part of the bill says if the president cannot unilaterally lockdown the country as joe biden said he would want to do and never did. now we put it into law. steve: thank you for joining us. other stories of interest to a lot of you. 6 dr. seuss books have been canceled. a new poll reveals what voters really want to cancel and it is not kids books. we will explain. from our friends at fox, download the fox been super 6 apps and play for a chance to win 10,$000. all you have to do is predict 6 outcomes in the super 6 quiz show. we played last friday. topics range from entertainment to sports to the weather.

seuss's book falling victim to cancel culture and voters feel it has gone too far. a new poll revealed 64% say cancel culture poses a threat in america. here to react is author and journalist douglas murray. is america right to be scared about what is happening in the country with cancel culture? >> yes it is and should be scared about the extent to which this has gone along for a long time. people think this is bits and pieces here and there, dr. seuss here, harry potter there, but it is very insidious. we see amazon quietly taking books off its platform if it disagrees with some prevailing ideology about gender. this cancel culture thing is going on. it will limit what americans

are allowed to know about, to read about, what they are allowed to enjoy and those who say cancel culture is a threat to their freedom is absolutely right. jillian: 88% of republicans found culture -- cancel culture was a threaded 40% of democrats want divide? >> this is very interesting. this is proof of something, the left has a very confused attitude towards cancel culture. two thought that old simultaneously. the first is that there is no such thing as cancel culture. it has been invented by crazy right-wingers. the second, i could do with losing that one. they think cancel culture doesn't exist and they benefit when books they disagree with our band. when people they disagree with our taken off the air. they find it useful as well as

denying it. the majority of democrats say cancel culture isn't a threat. they don't agree it exists. ainsley: most of the ones that are canceled are republicans, conservative youth. first it was the founding fathers, then donald trump, other conservatives they felt were too conservative but now we are talking in our headlines mister potato head, dr. seuss. >> they come for mister potato head, dr. seuss, harry potter, you think they might grow up with some of the problems they've got. the left is trying to win through this backdoor meme.

the same thing happens to them and i don't relish that at all but imagine if the right behaved in the same way the left does to the right. imagine if the right just got books canceled if they said left wing things about gender ideology. imagine of the right went around canceling left-wing figures if they said one wrong thing ever or got rid of movies the right doesn't entirely approve of. we don't do it on the right because among other things we recognize that would make a bland society, very unfree society. people on the right are more aware of the crucial fact which is a society which your deepest feelings can be trodden upon is the only society worth living in. ainsley: thank you for coming

>> live look at capitol hill where the senate is expected to take of the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill passed by the house as bernie sanders pushed the president to override the decision to include the $15 minimum wage but it is not going to happen after senate rules took the issue off the table. florida senator marco rubio is outraged about what is in this bill to begin with. to update our viewers it looks like the bridge to nowhere from new york to canada as chuck schumer put it was eliminated

as well as the transit system for san francisco's nancy pelosi. those things are out. >> the broader bill is broad. a trick is, washington special, put out a bill, colin covid-19 relief and people on their way to work, what they hear on the news is $1.9 trillion covid-19 relief and people say that is good because we need relief, the problem is that is not what the bill is. that is what the packaging is but on the inside it is all kinds of things. getting money into the hands of planned parenthood. what does that have to do with covid-19? millions of dollars from celebrities and everybody all over the world. it is not about helping local governments hit by the pandemic with bailing out these states, the governor of new york, the governor of california, other places that were irresponsible

even before the pandemic so i will vote for more covid-19 relief. all kinds of things i'm 4, individual payments that donald trump was asking for the end of his presidency but this is not in and i will not get punished and we shouldn't get pressured into voting for something that people are going to regret. once it passes. ainsley: senator joe manchin, they lose one vote it goes down the toilet. >> we will hear more about it today. obviously when it comes to the minimum wage increase and some of the other things i don't think they are in favor of doing what house members and ultra liberals are pushing for which is to run over the parliamentarian -- if we did that when trump was in office, they would say we were authoritarians violating the rule of law but now they are openly asking the news of the senate be violated. there is so much hypocrisy it is impossible to keep up with it. i could spend all day pointing it out, fighting against these terrible things.

steve: you are concerned about the border. they say it is not a crisis, it is a challenge. what do senator marco rubio say and what about honduras? >> it is a challenge. this is all about messaging and individual rights so when you have somebody run for president that sends out the impression that if people come here illegally we will welcome them that is a threat. these folks don't it here on their own. they are traffickers who recruit people and say i can get you into america for $3,000 if you bring a kid with you or if you send your kid with somebody also you created an incentive for children to be sent to the border as a passport to get into the country. that is what is happening. in honduras in particular you see activity from trafficking networks and the government doesn't have the ability to stop and even if they did they don't have the incentive. 25% of honduras's economy is written from the united states so they send money back.

this will get bad asked. it is more than people being detained. it is a rush on the border and the humanitarian crisis. we don't know how many kids die or are sexually abused or killed. we don't know what horrible things happen on that journey. brian: we have the coronavirus, many tested positive. we can't get back into the country but they can walk into the country. free accommodations, go to school. >> i had a group call me today that -- brian: i've got to stop it there. appreciate it, keep fighting, more "fox and friends" in just a moment.
