lawrence jones. it's great. stick around. >> you left me extra time. thanks so much. >> bret: that's how much i like you. >> good evening. welcome to fox news prime time. i'm lawrence jones. there's two different stories playing out on the immigration front. one is in the american southwest and one is in washington. the first you're hearing a lot ant. the second you're not. and what happened today tells you everything you need to know about where joe biden and his elite silicon valley friends are taking our country. of course, you heard about the crush of migrants on the southern boarder. biden called them here. not only have they arrived, tens of thousands of more are coming. you've seen the pictures. they're heart breaking. thousands of women and children way late in mexico, praying for permission to enter america and

asking for asylum. little do they know their kids may soon end up in containers. now, the white house is not worried about this. president biden shows no remorse. if you ask him to comment on it -- >> did you receive a briefing about the border today? >> yes, i did. >> what did you learn? >> a lot. >> is there a crisis at the border, sir? >> the men and women of the department of homeland security are working around the clock, seven days a week to ensure that we do not have a crisis at the border. >> but that is just the first immigration disaster they didn't want you to see. the second is much harder to spot. it's unfolding right now quietly in the halls of congress and the energy efficient skyscrapers of silicon valley. when they see these pictures as agonizing as they may be, they

spot opportunity. they do. the heads of america's largest companies led by big tech sent a letter to congress demanding immediate action on immigration reform. what kind of action? good question. they're not asking for food, shelter or medical supplies for migrants. they're not asking for faster processing of asylum claims. they're not even asking to release the kids from containers. no. they're asking congress to provide an immediate pathway to citizenship not just for the migrants but for the dreamers. the people that already live here illegally. maybe some of them work for big tech. the bottom line is, this has nothing to do with the people waiting in line. president trump went down this same road in his early days of his presidency and they denied them. they called him a racist. these same corporations are now

testing joe biden. though it may read that way, it was a threat. just read the small print for yourself. "if congress fails to act, our economy could lose $350 billion from the gdp and the federal government could lose $90 billion in tax revenue. delay or inaction will cause significant negative economic and social impact." okay. so if we don't give them what they want, what they want, doesn't tank the economy. this isn't about compassion. it's about the bottom line. it always is. whether it's cheap labor and fulfillment warehouses or highly skilled programmers from south asia, that is who they are fighting for. this is not about you. the hard working american taxpayers. it's always about them. you? you're too stupid to work at google. go build solar panels while we

find your replacement overseas. while you're at it, complain about it on facebook so they have a reason to kick you off. it is the exact opposite of america first. this is literally america last in the middle of a economic crisis. so is joe biden on board with this? president biden? chuck schumer? mitch mcconnell? what side are you on? joining me now to react, steve hilton, the host of "the next revolution." what's going on here, brother? >> you just laid it out so well, lawrence. you just put your finger on it. i mean, when they talk about negative economic impact, they're talking about negative economic impact for themselves. what this is about as you just explained is a big change in our politics. those of us on the right that think of ourselves as conservatives, republican, whatever label, forever we thought of pro business party. we need to really think about

that a different way. yes, we're pro enterprise. we're pro free market. we are not and should not be pro big business because big business has turned against regular american workers. big business is now completely taken the side of the democrats. not just on this particular issue of immigration but right across the board on issues like climate change, especially when you look at the woke leftist ideology silencing free speech that is being pushed forward by corporate america. so we have to understand the big business is the enemy now. they'll take your money, but they won't give you any respect. we should stand up for small business, for entrepreneurs, for free markets. realize that big business is definitely allied with the democrats and we have to fight them. >> steve, they're so crafty. they paint this from the aspect of identity politics.

we did some research of our own. what are they doing with black employees, diversity? check this out. this is the stats here. in 2012, african americans made up 1.5% of all employees at google. since then, google has hired 1,800 black employees. what they don't tell you is this. it was the 1,800 out of 67,000 employees. where is the diversity there? >> it's so typical of so much that goes on in corporate america. it's all about virtual signalling. it's about doing the easy and cheap things like taking out an ad and putting blm all over it and saying we're for socialisty and diversity and we support black lives matter. in reality, they don't care. in the end, they don't care about people at all. that's the truth about these big corporations. they say that they do. but actually, they act against the public interests and certainly against the interests

of workers, american workers, particularly right now as you said at a time when we have massively higher unemployment as a result of all of the lockdowns. the last thing you want to be doing is actually doing what big business wants, which is importing even more cheap labor to compete with american workers. surely everyone can agree right now is most of all the time to put american workers first. big business, they don't think about it as being -- they don't think about america being their home. it's the whole world for them. they're global. they down care about the country where they're based. >> well-put, steve. thank you. >> great to see you. >> also here tonight, republican senator of louisiana, john kennedy. senator, are you guys going to buckle to big tech? >> well, i read the letter, lawrence. i understand that the companies

want to reform america's immigration laws or they say they do. so do i. the american people deserve an immigration policy that looks like somebody designed the thing on purpose. the problem is that judging him by his deeds, not by his words, that's not what president biden wants. president biden wants to basically erase the difference between legal and illegal immigration. judging him by his deeds, not by his words. president biden thinks that getting people at the border, all people, vetting people at the boarder is racist. it's not. it's prudent. every country that i'm aware of does that. i will give you an example. look at president biden's $2 trillion coronavirus bill. he gives money to people in his

bill that are in our country illegally. well, that is obviously an incentive to people to come here illegally and a disincentive to people to follow the rules. if i could say a word about the coronavirus bill, lawrence. president biden because we're going to be taking it up tomorrow. president biden said in putting together the bill, we want to meet you, us, the republicans halfway. if that's the case, he's a damn poor judge of distance. he's rejected everything we proposed. this bill is dreadful. the only way i know how to improve it is with a shredder. it's not even a coronavirus bill. calling this a coronavirus bill is like calling harvey weinstein a feminist. it's chocked full of spending porn. billions of dollars to states

and local governments that have seen the revenues go up. billions to pension programs. billions of dollars to schools with no requirement that they open. it's an orgy of porn. and using a so-called coronavirus bill as an excuse to fund pork is like looting after a natural disaster. >> it's a bad idea. so senator, i have to ask you this. you've had the opportunity to meet zuckerberg. the ceo of facebook. does he care about the kids in this country being developed to go into this field? black kids, brown kids, kids across this country that need the qualification to get to that point to work in silicon valley? why not invest there? congress, the state legislators and all, they give the companies

the tax breaks. it's not enough to say you invest in this country and in our youth. >> well, there's an old expression, lawrence -- you make a very good point, by the way, as usual -- what you do is what you believe. everything else is conversation. i said this beautiful, john part zard, a french philosopher said to be is to act. all we are is the sum of our actions. everything else is conversation. if you judge these large tech companies by their actions and the number of people of color that are employed there, the number of females, then they fail the test. i mean, they -- the gentleman on before me, it's easy to go when you're making billions of dollars a minute to go put an ad in the paper to say we believe

in diversity. but you have to walk the walk. not just talk the talk. that's one of the biggest problems that i see. >> it's all virtual signalling. they post the black squares on instagram. they give all the speeches, they donate to all the groups. when it's time to actually take action -- the only thing that will save our minorities in this country, economic, jobs, good paying jobs and they refuse -- and immigrants. legal immigrants in this country. we celebrate that. apparently they don't. thank you, senator. >> thank you, lawrence. >> coming up, california governor gavin newsome finally comes up with a plan to reopen schools. the teachers union won't buy into it. why are that saying that these reopenings are racist? we'll get into that.

>> lawrence: welcome back. for almost a year now, teacher's unions have used their children for bargaining budgets. coming up with every excuse in the book not to come back to work. the democrats were egging them on. they loved it. now they have a big problem on their hand. because somebody at the teacher's union got ahold of democrats' playbook and they're unleashing on their fellow democrats. take a look at what happened to gavin newsome in california. he begged the teacher's union please come back to work. i'll give you everything. their response, no deal. >> if you condition funding on

the reopening of schools, that money will only go to white and wealthier schools that do not have the transmission rates that low income black and brown communities do. this is a recipe for propagating structural racism. and it's deeply unfair to the students we serve. >> lawrence: you can't make this up. leo terrell is here and richard fowler. both are fox news contributors. richard, i'm going to you first. is it racist? or moving the goal posts? >> listen, lawrence, you can disagree with what we heard cecili say there but it's worth digging into it. when you look at the numbers and the plan that gavin newsome has put forward, the schools are

holistic ecosystems. until you can ensure the safety of students and educators because they're not the only ones that walk in, until you can ensure the safety of everybody part of the ecosystem, we have to make sure that we open the schools reasonably, smartly and make sure that they're equitable and welcoming when students return, especially in black and brown communities where there's a higher rate of covid-19 and death. >> lawrence: here's the deal, leo. i did a whole monologue on it yesterday. it's hurting black and browns neighborhoods. it's safe to open up school says the science. leo? >> you're right, lawrence. i saw your program yesterday. being a student in the public schools in los angeles, a former teacher, richard, you're not going to get away with this diverse. i'm going to ask you on national tv. the state that the utla president made, was it racist?

is there any racism in a blue state dominated by all democrats, is there a discrimination? please answer that. i'm sick of people diverting that question, hiding that question and playing the race card. that utla president was playing the race card. would you agree with that on national tv? say yes or no. >> lawrence: is that true? >> please. >> leo, in 19995 you sued bevelly hills -- >> here we go. we're talking about the school district. >> i don't want to be interrupted. >> we're talking about the l.a. unified school district. play the game. >> lawrence: hold on, leo. richard, the science is clear. the schools are safe to open. we know this. it's a fact. the teacher's unions are in the pockets of the democrats. we know this so why are democrats not holding them accountable? >> a couple of points here. point number 1 that is worth

pointing out, in the cdc reports, they indicate that schools are safe to reopen in cases where there's a low spread of covid-19. in los angeles county, they're at purple tier, which is the highest spread of covid-19. in 1995 -- >> lawrence: no, no. hold on. richard -- >> we sued the police the department -- >> lawrence: richard -- >> schools are complicated ecosystems. you can't say -- >> lawrence: leo -- >> it's disingenuous -- >> lawrence: leo, hop in. >> it's disingenuous for richard 0 to come here and talk about a lawsuit 27 years ago. the l.a. unified school district. that's what they do. place the race card. not on fox news. give us fact. if you're going to play racism, give us names. you cannot use a democratic talking point and justify the conduct of these kids in the poverty city being denied

education. play the race card. it's not going to happen on fox. >> lawrence: it is a very clear -- >> it's very clear -- >> lawrence: it's a sad -- the numbers are clear. black and brown kids are struggling mentally, the source -- people are crying to get back in the schools. did a whole monologue on it yesterday. democrats are not stand up. gentlemen, thank you so much. >> i hear that. >> lawrence: hope you come back. >> thank you. >> lawrence: stay tuned. you're about to meet public enemy number 2. the second republican governor that dared to lift the state's mask mandate. joe biden is not happy with him. we'll talk about it next.

>> i think it's a big mistake. the last thing that we need is a neanderthal thinking that everything is fine, take off your mask, forget it. it still matters. i know you know that. i wish some of our elected officials knew it. >> lawrence: joining me, the evil man, tate reeves, the mississippi governor. governor, what is your response to the president? >> well, today i feel the same way as i did the day that hillary clinton called all of us deplorables. president biden called us neanderthals. it struck me as someone that needs to travel to middle america. the fact of the matter is, we're just doing the things to give our people the power back to do what they think is best for themselves and their family. >> lawrence: your liberal detractors would say you're

putting your folks at risk. tell me why you're not. >> well, here's the facts. our goal from the beginning has been to ensure that we protect the integrity of our healthcare system. contrast that with what some would argue is that the goal should be that no mississippian ever contracts the virus. the fact is that is not a realistic goal. the goal is to protect our healthcare system. the facts are, you cannot look at the data and focus on the data when numbers are going up, but ignore the data when the numbers are going down. at our peak, approximately seven weeks ago, we had 15,000 cases in one week. a seven-day average of over 2,400 cases. last week we had less than 3,000 cases in mississippi last week. the fact is that at our peak, we had 1,450 mississippians in hospital beds. that number is 418 today. the fact is that our peak, we

had 360 patients in icu beds. that number is below 120 today. so we know longer have a healthcare crisis in our state. so we've got to allow our people to make good decisions. the fact is i trust mississippians and i truth americans to do what is best for themselves and their family and i wish the president would focus on trusting americans rather than trying to insult americans. >> lawrence: as you know, governor, you can't allow people to make decisions for themselves especially when you're a politician. you have to have all the power themselves. thanks. i think your people will support this decision. >> no doubt. joe biden's handlers believe in a central government making all decisions for us. we believe in the people being allowed to make their own decisions. >> lawrence: thank you, governor. also here tonight, victor david hansen from the hoover institute. they have a real problem with

americans making decisions for themselves. why is that? >> i don't know. they say they're the people of science and they told us for a year that the science says that when we get to 60 or 65% of the people with some immunity or anti-bodies, the cases will go down but we won't get there for a while. so we have to shelter in place and shut down the economy and take the risk of greater damage to mental health issues or substance abuse or suicide. we did that. now the science says we have about 80 million people that will be vaccinated by the weekend. we have another 100 million people that probably have anti-bodies that haven't been tested or asymptomatic. we have 30 million people that have the virus that we know from tests and 50 million 1-12 that are probably won't get a serious case or pass it on. so we're getting up to 230 and 40 million people. guess what? guess what they told us is

happen something steady going down every day. in california, we've gone from about 6,000 deaths to 6,000 cases to down to 600. we're down by a magnitude of 10. we're declining. i wish this generation -- i'm very glad this generation was not in charge of world war ii or we wouldn't have landed on omaha beach. they would have found a thousand reasons not to do it. they don't want the risk. cynically, you think there's a lot of people that come into power, the teacher's unions, the nonelected. they have their moment of influence and celebrity. i don't think they're following their own science and they loathe to give it up what is dangerous is, they told us a year that we have to get vaccinated and we have to all get vaccinated. and we have to convince others to get vaccinated. if you send out a message that

says if you're vaccinated, it won't matter. you have to wear a mask and stay home and social distance. you're going to discourage thousands from getting vaccinated. they'll say why take the second shot and have side effects when it won't make any difference? so it's a very dangerous unscientific message that our officials are broadcasting to the public. >> lawrence: victor, most americans want to know when is this going to end. is it ever going to end? i whatn't to play this for you, this is a doctor on cnn. he said we should wear masks every winter. take a look. >> if we mask and social distance every winter, we'll see a dramatic reduction. hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations and tens of thousands of deaths. i wonder if that will be the lesson from this. >> lawrence: victor, is this the new normal? we just put them on. every winter. going to be fun. >> i'm sure we can wear rubber gloves and protective clothing.

that we would be better. where do you stop in between reasonable risk and a cost been if it analysis. we had a lot of scientific studies before covid came out that questioned the efficacy long-term of masks. that's why we weren't wearing them. it wasn't because americans were idiosyncratic and didn't want to water masks. there was science that said the cost benefit of wearing markets is under debate. we forgot that. it's this themeatic that all of these people talk about science. when science doesn't go their way, they're unscientific. >> lawrence: i have to ask you, victor, you've been around a long time, right? what i know is when we give up some liberty, right? government doesn't want to give it back. do you think most americans now are more willing to give that liberty up going forward or do you think we'll remember this moment and say, never guess. some are locked down.

no more mask police. no more giving the state more power. enough is enough. it will never happen again. >> i hope it's the latter. there's one theme in this surrender of the bill of rights. we didn't vote on it. theres an emergency in the beginning, but we've had time to discuss this. our legislatures did not debate it. most of these edicts were made by people like governor newsome and governor cuomo by executive orders or presidents by executive orders or bureaucrats or dr. fauci by sermons from on high. when the science wasn't convenient, we were told by 1,200 healthcare officials if you demonstrate and demonstrate for a particular cause, then that is not going to endanger the general health of the public. so if you're nancy pelosi and you want your hair done or gavin newsome and you want to go to the french laundry.

so there's so much inconsistency in the science or the hypocrisies of our officials. we don't believe them anymore. that's the real danger that they have no credibility, they have no legitimacy anymore. so we have to go back to relying 0 on the people. the people know best. the science shows we're beating this virus. i'll end from a famous quote of general grant. everybody said to him, general lee will do this, do that. he said don't worry about what general lee is going to do. you worry what you're going to do to general lee. that's what we need to have. let's worry about getting vaccinated and destroying the virus as quickly as possible and not all of the hypotheticals of mutants and variants and masks. keep our eye on the ball and we can destroy the virus. >> lawrence: i don't have an m.d. but i have eyes and ears and i know when people make it up as they go. thanks for joining the program.

>> i acted in a way that made people feel up comfortable. it was up intentional, and i truly and deeply apologize for it. i feel awful about it and frankly i am embarrassed by it. >> lawrence: new york governor andrew cuomo is really sorry, folks. not for his part in all of the unnecessary nursing home deaths but the mounting claims of sexual harassment being levelled against him. not enough to resign. despite repeated calls from members of his own party. here now, fox news meteorologist, janice dean who lost both of her inlaws due to

governor cuomo's incompetence. you have been fighting him tooth and nail. what is your response to that press conference? >> pathetic. i guess he is trying to keep his emmy award with his sad performance, i'm so sorry. you know, two of his accusers basically said he lied. he shouldn't have been saying all of that today because it can be used against him in a court of law. >> lawrence: janice, how deep is this? it seems like from what i hear from my sources, and i've interviewed many families, not only did he go after democratic officials but he went after victims' families. he tried to actively intimidate and conceal information. >> he did.

yes. he tried to cover up six or 7,000 deaths that happened in the hospital like my mother-in-law. we only found out because his top aide, melissa derosa that said in a closed door meeting that was leaked that they were afraid what was happening with the justice department. yes, he lied. he never apologized to the families, by the way. he apologized today to his accusers because he didn't know he disanything wrong. it's just pathetic, lawrence and we'll never see a resignation. his ego is too big. i hope his words get him in trouble. i really do. >> lawrence: janice, you're not a politician. you're not someone that gets involved. you know, we're -- your office is down from mine. you know, the saying i always say, if anybody upsets janice, you're a bad person.

did you feel pushed to the edge to get involved? this is not something that you do. >> i'm not a political person. no one knows who i voted for. this has deeply affected my family. i'm standing up for them. my husband's parents and the 15,000 families that want answers and have not gotten them yet. i'll continue to do all i can to raise awareness. because they deserve that. >> lawrence: janice, why did it take a sexual harassment scandal for him to finally apologize? is it more damaging? >> he's embarrassed. i think it's easy for lawmakers to get on that me too train than to actually accuse him of the criminal behavior that i think he's guilty of. >> lawrence: janice, we continue to pray for you. thank you so much for joining us, my friend. >> thank you, my friend. >> lawrence: now that governor

cuomo got his apology out of the way, one member of the media is doing the same thing. molly wrote a new piece apologizing for her past praise of governor cuomo. she also reminded her readers it's not her fault that she got the story wrong. it was donald trump's fault obviously. let's remember how scary the world was a year ago. what a relief it was to have someone that wasn't trump projecting incompetence. here now victor david hansen from the hoover institution. i'm sorry. joe concha is with me right now. that's the glory of live tv. things pop up in the prompter. joe, what is your reaction to this? >> it's like ron burgundy, right? put it in the prompter, ron will read. i've been there. believe me. yeah, i like this whole do-over with journalists deleting wheats

that they wrote last year praising governor cuomo as if people didn't get screen shots. maybe they're saying maybe we got it wrong with cuomo because of the sexual harassment. but the nursing home story, the cover-up around this is infinitely the bigger story. sexual harassment should be taken seriously but pecking order, the nursing home cover-ups. you brought up derosa. bears repeating this quote. "we weren't sure if we we were doing to gift to the department of justice was going to be used against us. we weren't sure if there was an investigation." that is the admission of a cover up around thousands of deaths. think about this, lawrence. 15,000 deaths in nursing homes is more than 37 u.s. states. everybody in them. so that should be more the focus at this point. if we want to talk about sexual harassment here, these quotes from cuomo today were

incredible. listen to this "i never knew the tim that i made anybody feel uncomfortable and i never meant to offend anybody." let's say you're running a company called new york state, right? you think asking a female employee 20 or 30 years younger than you to play strip poker, you think would make her uncomfortable? absolutely. and when he talked about how it's his usual and customary way of reading people to kiss them. andrew cuomo. he's 63. he's the boss asking people to kiss them at weddings? creepy stuff. he's in a heap of trouble. >> lawrence: he told someone to eat a whole sausage in front of him. he's a nasty guy. >> yeah, that is like a howard stern on the radio thing. when you're the governor of a state, you don't to anything like that. here's the thing.

at that press conference today, we want to talk about media. not one question about the nursing homes. everything about sexual harassment. that is become the focus. the media should be clearly looking at what the bigger story here is right now. we're talking about possible criminal behavior and, not giving away information to the feds if they're asking for it. that's the priority right now. >> lawrence: our great governor, the gold standard. thank you, joe. >> call me victor. thank you, lawrence. >> lawrence: imagine that. up next, benjamin washington with how some student athletes are unable to play football at public schools where they live. they're choosing to spend hours traveling to charter schools so they can play. their last shot next. managing t? you're on it. staying fit and snacking light? yup, on it there too. you may think you're doing all you can to manage type 2 diabetes and heart disease... ...but could your medication do more to lower your heart risk?
