thanksgiving -- >> looking at that's what america says. big party day. the party day. >> it is time to -- party fold. brian. >> like the white house yesterday, and just pull a plug put up color bars on brian look they done on joe. joe went off script he wasn't supposed to do that. the handlers it looked like hand her what do you do -- take questions no -- >> is he in charge? the president even said nancy what do we do next, nan? i know it. nancy pelosi actually. >> thank you. >> listen, joe biden very busy yesterday in addition to having the plug pulled on him. he also wanted to weigh in on how this state of texas govan and this was our top story yesterday governor abbott said you don't have to wear a mask in texas anymore and businesses 100% open. same thing for mississippi. the president did not leak that. did not like that one bit, and

thought essentially, those states are going back to the stone age. listen to joe. >> look -- i hope everybody realized by now these masks make a difference we have on the cusp of being able to fundamentally change the nature of this disease with the way we get vaccines into people's arms and unless last thing you need is neanderthal thinking -- to pick up your mask, forget it. itit still matters. >> knee angder that will theg to do that they say follow the science and what cdc says although when you think about it cdc came out and said schools can open you don't need teachers vaccinated apparently they didn't listen to that part. ainsley: governor of mississippi he said, look, we live in mississippi, we know what's happening in our state, and he says we don't need your handling we don't need handlers numbers are dropping and we can assess

our own choices he said we trust americans. we should not be insulting them. listen to this. >> today i feel the same way as i did the day that hillary clinton called all of pus in middle america deplorables when president biden said that earn with all neanderthals it struck me as someone who needs to get outside of washington, d.c. and actually travel to middle america. the fact of the matter is, we are just simply doing they thinks to give our people the power back to do what they think is best for themselves and their family. >> especially by the fact that -- with the states that are big time lockdown like new york an like california, tell me where the results are -- as compared to per capita, florida which is right in the middle of the country and has virtually staying open, and when you look around, the rest of the country, lockdown states like illinois, just tell me the big advantage they got from seeing there putting lives on hold keep

their kids at home telling businesses you better shutter and not allowed to eat out. that's why -- i think there's a lot of peel get a little upset and i think very little appreciation was for trump at the time say i'll recommend to the states and states knower that people better you can make the call and a lot of people said where's the leadership that was a lope decision now you have the opposite. you have somebody who can't control every state, but wants to and about -- an hour and a half i'm going to ask texas govan greg abbott does he believe that st. patrick's day number one holiday in america and number two get to that very question. ainsley: he made a great point mr. biden if you care so much about not spreading covid what is happening in our border? he tweeted this out biden administration recklessly releasing hundreds of illegal immigrants who have covid into texas communities. >> that was our big story yesterday allowing people to leave be processed by border patrol, and then they get on buses and the city of

brownsville, texas, does an instant test at least 6% of the people getting on the buses traveling all around america have covid. so let me get this straight, is joe biden trying are to stop covid or spread covid? that is the point of view of our guest coming up in the next hour. who lives down in brownsville and he's got an uncle who is elderly. unvaccinated and told hill stop taking the bus because it will keel you. >> by the way, that will be a good question to ask joe biden if he had a press conference. but he's not, and, in fact, even have on the books his first address to the country he says they're going wait for the stimulus package the rescue plan of 1.9 trillion collars ultimately passed which is still putting the facing the touches on. it is amazing you watch joe biden's events raw. how confused when it starts and ends and not to his hand hers

and bring up this color commentary he was talking about this rescue plan how he wanted to work with joe biden and biden joe biden's president former senator, so come down to the white house tell me what your plan is so mitt romney and company senator cassidy said spend $600 billion and brought up things to cut joe biden staffers were staring at him sharing their head what to say yes and no to and you wonder how many decisions he's actually making, and how much they trust him. especially if there's something like this happen yesterday, after a while the president was done with his address he seemed to have gotten confuseddage got off script. watch. >> i'm happy to attack questions if that's what i'm supposed to do whatever you want me to do. [bleep] >> she looked to the side like nope. we're not taking questions this is over. >> and think about it.

it is -- his presidency so far has been a lot like when he was running for president. essentially from his basement in delaware. where for the most part he didn't tweet. he didn't say controversial things. he just kind of stayed out of view. the problem for him eventually he's going to have to do one of those solo press conferences yesterday -- his press secretary jen psaki said he took questions from reporters today. , of course, reporters yelling at him about stuff. when you look at jorntle w. bush he took his first press conference after 34 days in office. barack obama 21 days in office. and donald trump 28 days in office. joe biden's 15 most recent predecessors all had solo press conferences within 33 days of taking office. and he still hasn't which makes people wonder well -- why doesn't he fire department

to just answer questions? you know, because we have seen how the mainstream media treats him, it should essentially be like that saturday night live spoof would you like pillow mr. president? i can think of one reporter who would ask a hard question. but how many others? >> it is just we know who that reporter is. who asks tough questions to jen sacco and president biden up in front of the microphone looks like shoving him off to the side and does answer a question to your point to someone who is already preselected. but it just makes us wonder what are they hiding why don't they want him to answer questions and why are they trying to control him and so measured? especially compared to the last president, president trump, who would walk on to, you know, on to the helicopter and always stop and talk to reporters, steve you were down there at the white house that morning. and he said okay i'm coming out i just want to go talk to steve. >> for an hour. >> spontaneous transparent and could you imagine if he just

relied on kayleigh mcenany to answer all of the tough questions that never happened. speaking of -- the former white house press secretary and now she's a new fox news analyst, she's going to be on live with us at 8 a.m. >> yeah one thing is also clear on that vice president -- kamala harris invisible. in some say behind scenes susan rice doing everything. meanwhile ten minutes after the hour turnout to ashley strohmier going to kick us a off by laying ground work to let us know what happened yesterday when andrew cuomo decided to break his silence about sexual harassment allegations and a little more. >> democratic new york governor andrew cuomo said he did not realize he made anyone feel uncomfortable. listen. >> i never knew at the time that i was making anyone feel uncomfortable. i never knew at the time i was making anyone feel uncomfortable. >> the governor also apologizing

after three women came forward with sexual harassment claims against him. >> i'm sorry for whatever pain i caused anyone. i never intended it. and i will be the better for this experience. >> but as apology was not enough for first accuser who is lindsay boylan tweeted how can new yorkers trust new york governor cuomo to lead our state if you don't know when you've been inappropriate with your own staff. after a refusing to resign despite facing two different scandals cuomo took a swipe at bill blasio. >> you also have new york city which is in a very precarious situation. we have to get new york city functional again. >> and attorney for cuomo second accuser alleging that governor chief of staff and counsel both knew about the sexual harassment

clams. back to you guys. >> thanks ashley. there's so many moving parts to this because you have the nursing home situation which you can argue because death of 15,000 many of which you have to figure would be preventible without that policy in march turned over in may and number two why do 12 to 13 health care, health officials there to run the pandemic, why did they quit? because he was making up this pandemic policies on fly rip up pandemic plan that was in place. they said that he was running the pandemic and they would find out what to do through his press conferences. that also is something that needs additional scrutiny for wouldn't have goutsen any scrutiny without sexual harass. allegations. >> job, front cover of the new york post this morning has the third -- person that came out saying that she was sexually harassed and it says i never touched then inappropriately but it shows that fir of him touching her holding her face at that wedding. >> doesn't know her and at a

wedding before he said can i kiss you? >> you know what i was thinking about this -- before the pandemic, a lot of people would go up to people and just kiss them on the cheek, you know and women some they kiss that side and then that side depending where you live and customs were so i was thinking i don't know the full story. he's innocent until proven guilty maybe that's what happened. maybe all of this will come out not defending him because if this is how she felt and she felt it was inappropriate, then that's how she feels and he can't say i was just doing this and i didn't mean to make you feel that way that is how she felt. >> would have given brett kavanaugh benefit of the doubt that to give hem. with brett kavanaugh it dated back to high school and he jumped to conclusion now they want to step become and looking forward to he is own attorney general -- doing an investigation. >> cuomo did say yesterday like father late mario cuomo he says that is how he would greet people affectionately i will change this since sensibilities have changed.

>> these allegations are certainly -- cover upall of the papers on this thursday morning, but when you and brian to your point about thousands of people have died. in the nursing home scandal, and that really didn't get a lot of publicity we talked about it on this channel. but a lot of channels didn't. now look at this. media research center did some looking into the public opinion how people felt about it governor cuomo. before learning of the nursing home scandal, he had about a 45.favorable rating. after learning about the nursing home scandal he had a 25.favorable rating. now one of the things, and you know, he made it very clear yesterday wait for all of the facts to cool out for the attorney general to do her job. and to issue a report -- that could take many, many months. and it has been suggested that perhaps the governor is just trying to kick the can down the street and playing for time keep

in mind it was back in 2019 that ralph northam admitting appearing in a racist college photo and then denied that and then people whorn calling for his resignation as they are with governor cuomo fast forward to today, governor northam is still the governor. >> interesting when you talk about the media numbers, that when they weren't telling the truth when they weren't talking about the nursing home numbers, and putting people on interviewings them like we've done, upset with him because covid people were put in their parents nursing homes and finally started covering that then approval rating goes down and audience has the entire story. it is not just one sided. maria define she weighed in on that. >> his such as it is even his self-pity does not extend to the nursing home dead. you know, those 58,000 people,

who were confined to an early death. the new york time, washington post cnn, msnbc all of that democratic friendly media trying to create this myth around him as a hero as gold standard leader so i just ask where are all of his victims. where were they then? where are all of those democrats now speaking out where were they then when it kowpghted it doesn't matter now he hasn't changed suddenly since the election. he's always been this way. >> yeah he's going to fight it out to the end i think very similar to govan northam carly working all morning going to extend your pay a little bit if you would update us on the news. >> that's right start here with a fox news alert guys sea of blue lighting up the sky, and honor of a fall opinion los angeles police officer. officer jose died days after being injured in the line of duty. the ten year lapd veteran was struck by a vehicle while

controlling traffic last week. lapd say it is that crash was an accident and other driver is cooperating with investigators. officer leaves behind his wife. on to extreme weather now west virginia governor declaring a state of emergency after heavy rain caused a devastating flooding in the south. the order covers 18 affected counties, and check this out. in kentucky, a run away boat marina crashes into a bridge along a swollen river. yikes. many areas are expected to crust today. effort to recall california governor gavin newsom is closing in on two million signatures. the group behind the movement collecting more than a required amount of one and a half million to trigger a special election. the state hassle in the end of april to verify all of those signatures. and take a look at this. a spacex rocket blows up after landing an unmanned high

>> well, while you were sleeping house democrattings passed a controversial bill overnight we're going tell you. j calls for a complete overhaul of voting rights in the united states including automatic mail-in ballots restoring voting rights for felons. >> wow what would go wrong and how could that be controversial? griff jenkins live on what house will pass today. i don't know if it has -- in the senate? >> but last night overnight the yeahs had it for the people act better known around here as hr1 passed as you see 210-210 without gop support seeing as power grab and pelosi says this sweeping bill to change voting in ethics laws as well as campaign fanses top priority needed in wake of the 2020 election to restore voters faith in the electoral process and she says she wants to eliminate social interest money and pleks

amplifying voice of the american people so here's some of what is of it besides that headline of creating automatic vote or registration across country it mandates the restoration of former felony voting rights in states where they aren't allowed to vote. it expands excess to absentee and mail hinl voting and on keeping finance it establishes a new public finance system with a 6-1 match for each grassroots campaign contribution up to 200 one of the republican members of the house who oppose it michael explained earlier why this morning on fox and friends first. listen. >> voting historically been relgted by the state and has been handled by the states. this is a major shift as far as campaign finance we're now taxpayers are going to fund -- congressional campaigns that -- who wants to spend taxpayer dollars on all of the negative ads that typically crowd our dvd screens during election time? >> another bill heads to

democrat controlled senate in thinks you mean right to languish or die without really support because senate majority leader chuck schumer needs at least ten republicans to advance path that 60 vote threshold. broin ainsley, steve. >> griff thanks. couple of things i want everyone to vote i think everyone wants everyone to vote and make sure that's you who votes. we want to make sure there's some type of signature of verification identity verification like everything else. i don't see that here guys. i don't see that in automatic you can vote by mail. when this already questions about security by mail. isn't the objective to have everyone still secure in the final tally? >> well, you know, number of republicans say ultimately what the democrats are trying to do britain and ainsley is they're trying to essentially -- with this change the way we vote and then ensure a permanent majority for democrats so they can remain in control forever.

and when you look and brian you mentioned during this sound bite one rejected by congressman ayanna pressey she wanted to lower voting age to 16 which, you know, you think about people who are 16, 17, 18. >> what were you doing at 16? >> i should not have been allowed to vote i had my permit hoping to get my license. you should have grown up in kansas i had my permit to drive at 13. >> did you really? >> listen -- you have to drive a tractor back in the day there were two other things in this bill that passed last night. and do these sound political one of them what does this have to do with voting rights? would require presidential candidates to disclose their tax returns. hum -- sounds like somebody we know. that they've been going after now out of office and other thing they would establish a code of ethics for the justices on the supreme court. seriously? ethics for justices on supreme

court how about ethics for people in congress. ainsley: last night kevin mccarthy was on explaining his issues with the fill and what it means for you. listen. accident democrats have just lost 15 seats and if their phone call after the election they said stop talking about defunding the police. but how long did that last? less than two months they've already put it back on the floor. this is why nancy pelosi has done what she's done she brought in proxy voting she doesn't have people work so she controls the power to move that socialist agenda through. you know, the next thing they're doing in coming weeks they're coming after our guns remember what they did on this voting bill they call it hr1. you've got a pmed in america they don't think it is important to put people back to work, back to school or back to health. they think number one thing to do is protect them at the politician to stay in office and take your taxpayers money to fund their campaigns. >> also when it comes to redistrict they want a mutual authority doing that opposed to the republicans who have been controlling most of the state

houses and they have a better idea of how to redistrict i think it is really important to know that if it was president obama when he took over in 2008 he had 60 votes in the senate, and he had the house do you realize they floated through if this is 2008. that is what is at stake with one party government but they have only 50 senators. >> right there's zero chance that this is going to pass the senate -- unless and there are some democrats who want to -- blow up the filibuster but joe manchin and christian sinema said no so democrats are stuck passed it in 2019 and last night again probably going nowhere ainsley. >> it is 6:28 here on east coast white house insist there's no crisis at the border and that challenge is trump fault so why are migrants showing up in biden shirts? we're going speak with an outrage border city resident, next. >> wait where did they get them? >> let us in. i mean it... uh-oh, sorry...

>> situation at border rapgdly deteriorating and there's no crisis but a challenge. this is more than a hundred illegal grants who tested positive for covid-19 virus, at the border of being allowed to travel even further in the country. is this unthinkable is this illogical danielle is the president of the -- initiative sen a former interior department official under george w. bush you live right there daniel how bad? >> i live a quarter mile from

border brian, look, you know, latinos and americans and especially those of us you know who live along the border want order and control. and ofnl we're seeing surges up and down border 141% in the big bend area. 122% and 65% along southwest border so you're seeing these massive spikes brian we've always had serges and spikes, but i think you know it doesn't matter what administration chooses to call it. truth is there's -- there's a matter of urgency here because it involves now children. some -- according to some reports as young as three years old that are left on other side of the border so it has turned into a humanitarian crisis and like i said it is naive to think that border is going to take care of yourself. whanch you're seeing is the walls stop what you're seeing remane in mexico over 70,000 people there what you're seeing

more humanitarian approach to border but why more humanitarian to tell on unaccompany minors we're going give you a sponsor here and interior of the country why is that not more humanitarian. >> causing dangerous situation for those who are opting to make trek to the border, and face human traffickers, sexual predators and cartel recruiters look that administration is concerning signals to say the least that they be laxed in detention and enforcement and this is a major problem. look, i think that this situation i think is yet another single that the status quo is not serving us well here in america. we need a effective secure and bipartisan reform that focuses on security but you know, of course, also to deal with future flow of images needed in america who contradict with their

industrious hard work and those are undermining of reform and i hope it doesn't and remedy the situation quickly. >> so interesting rio grand valley area that won for donald trump they said if you crack down on border it will come off as anti-hispanic people know the difference it is not anti-hispanic basically they have the biden logo they have joe biden that says basically let me in they said -- american politics they know who is in charge. >> yeah. you know we can get caught up in false choices of either or stz to be this compassionate open border situation. or it has to be just a wall look we can do both and secure the border make sure people get the signal if they are going make that trek, they're going to face strong security measures but at the same time, we need to be flexible and accommodate for flow of grants who are necessary

especially in ag sector and livestock service sector so needed in america and again, immigrants have contributed to america for so long. we need to -- do both but again we put that immigration reform in peril because of this. >> loosens revickses to allow worker visas to come in. go into countries let people know what the embassies how to get people here legally and make it safer for everyone at a time they're telling americans you have to wash your handle wherever you go. now it wants you to wear two masks how dare you eat outdoors make your own decision it is okay to let our southern border with people coming from other lands testing positive for a virus. not social distancing, you can't have both of those messages out of one administration and expect to have any credibility. daniel unfortunately we're going to be back here it is now march back here in prel and may and it is geng to be worse. thanks for joining us. >> you bet briern thank you have a good morning. >> you too straight ahead president biden draws red lean

congressman are you a neanderthal thinker? >> let me tell you what neanderthal thinking is. you know, neanderthal thinking is keeping our schools closed letting our kid fall further and further behind maybe nee and tear that will thinking is letting restaurants put people in tents while they're sitting outside but they can't let them inside or not putting seniors first when it comes to our vaccines or -- you know, i don't know. what neanderthal thought it was a good idea to allow infected seniors back into nursing home when is it is -- when it was clearly the most exposed and vulnerable population so we can go down the list if he wants to of stupid ideas. but basically what he's doing is -- pulling a stupid and it is a clear liberal elitism that we see coming time and time again out of washington, d.c. when states pretend like they have all of the answers. and i've got to tell you in florida we're managing this coronavirus.

we're keeping the economy open, and we're walking that fine line with common sense. >> sure you look at the states of florida, versus california, florida wide open california locked down numbers are about the same. it defies logic and nobody can really explain it. congressman you're there in in e washington, d.c. area today. once upon a time, before the 20th amendment, march 4th was inauguration day and given that -- there has been some suggestion and, in fact, this was a headline right now in "the washington post" -- capitol police say intelligence shows militia group may be plotting to breach the capitol. that's where you work and where you are briefed what are they telling you? >> well, apparently there's an intelligence brief out of biden department of homeland security say there's a lot of chatter. that is out there, but at the same time, when i tacked to security officials they're not seeing any hotel rooms being filled up they're not seeing

camp ground filled up and bus load of -- you know, hoards of militia groups coming over the horizon, an you know i was just looking at a memo that acting sergeant of arms said arked members u.s. ka toll police has no indication that groups are traveling to d.c. to protest ore commit acts of violence so a bit all over the place steve meanwhile you have groups of gnarl guards men and women standing every 50 feet staring a the a fence. away from their homes and their families an their business, send them home. i mean, after today sepgd them home but now there's talk of keeping them here to the "state of the union." and yet the reportings out there "state of the union" may not happen until the fall. so this is about optickings, and its politics at its worst. you know send those troops home. steve: i've been reading number of republicans say this is just, you know, it is theatrics with the wall, fence and wall around the capitol to remind people about bad stuff republicans did

essentially how they have depicted it now speaking of the major guard as we look at some right now horrifying story, you know, about a month ago we heard about all of them had to sleep on a parking structure. and they had 5,000 people and two toilets. now, apparently the michigan national guard was wound up whoever was providing food service for them, 50 people got sick because of the food wasn't cooked there were metal shavings in. if it has to horrify you. >> yeah and melt shavings don't fall on parking lot food i want an investigation whether this was deliberate and it wasn't just michigan was talking to congressman greg yesterday, he was visiting indiana national guard. they're saying they're seeing the same thing. so something is really odd here but the end of the day, this area is not equipped to handle a brigade of soldiers there's more on capitol than we have in iraq

and afghanistan combined jan 6th was horrible and everybody should be prosecuted that participated but i'm not seeing threat that keeps these soldiers here i've been asked -- i've been asking first, you know, official after official for that briefing and we're not getting it. >> sending troops home get appropriate security measures in palace and move forward. steve: absolutely. ofng, you of course you know standing there eating bad food if that is intentional they have to catch people who do it nonetheless -- since -- >> we had operation pizza you know pizza in place that we initiated so i guess we have to fire that back up to take care of these soldiers. steve: question need everybody in safe in washington thinking about everybody there in capitol hill today. congressman, thank you. >> all right. steve: all right meanwhile let's go to janice dean weather machine she's got a quick look at the day ahead. hey, janice. >> good morning yes we're goapg get a warmup across central plains that is awesome news 20

to 30 above nanch some areas there are your current temperatures not too bad right for the beginning of march. in terms of rain, and/or snow that impacting parts of the west even southwest where they could get six to 12 inches. across the central rocky, so there's the forecast radar and then along coast we're going to see potential for more heavy rainfall as question we get into the weekend otherwise a really pretty good forecast especially across central u.s. we have mild temperatures 71 in kansas city. 46 in minneapolis. 38 in chicago that's not bad. and here's the good news, 16 days until spring. but it will feel like spring springtime across much of the country. steve i think i'm tossing back to you correct? steve: correct. right again thank you very much. we could use some spring. all right comp missouri senator josh hawley will join us live in our 7a block first six dr. seuss books suddenly found no longer

fit to precinct our next guest says this should be a wakeup call as cancel culture grows by the day.

did you know prilosec otc can stop frequent heartburn before it begins? heartburn happens when stomach acid refluxes into the esophagus. prilosec otc uses a unique delayed-release formula that helps it pass through the tough stomach acid. it then works to turn down acid production, blocking heartburn at the source. with just one pill a day, you get 24-hour heartburn protection. prilosec otc. one pill a day, 24 hours, zero heartburn.

headlines thousands receive a smaller amount of the coronavirus vaccine due to an issue with syringes officials say a third of the dose got stuck at the bottom of the plastic container. the syringes were used at the oakland coliseum site and doctors say second shot will help compensate forlesser dose and revealing super bowl was not a covid superspreader. officials only noticing a slight increase in case positivity 57 cases linked to festivities last month in tampa how about that ainsley interesting. thank you so much carly what we've been telling you about six dr. seuss book but next guest warn it is won't stop with dr. seuss and you should care because you can be next. university of chicago student iowa vita is managing editor of the student run conservative newspaper called the chicago thinker she joins us now. good morning to you. good morning have you

experienced any of the cancel culture at your school? >> of course, i've experienced cancel culture being a conservative at a left campus it happens all the time but that i think what's happening right now is -- and people who are trying to cancel dr. seuss are the same people that i encounter pawflt team at my university diversity equity and inclusion center and these centers are -- they exist across america. and their job is literally these fully definition of the job is to find racism everywhere, because otherwise they're out of work and so they're antiracist initiative they end up canceling people who aren't races i like dr. seuss, and they actually implement very racist antiracist policies like -- only like black only clashes black or hispanic only graduations. or -- or you know only allowing black or hispanic students to speak in certain classes so these

anti-initiative end up -- >> you can only speak in the class if you're hispanic or if you're black? >> yes, so some professors they say that, and so these in these at the university they're incentivizing this antiracist culture that is canceling and divisive and permeates into everything and it should have all of us worried because in the end, it doesn't make a lot of sense and the reason doesn't make a lot of sense is because it is not about antiracism it is about a cultural marxist resolution -- it is about fixing racism by canceling people because of their skin color so that's -- that's racist in and of itself isn't it? >> yes. it certainly is. all right john brca he's president of the studies institute on the -- health he talked on last night he talked about health department canceling this journal conference i believe you were supposed to go to that country. listen to what he said on tucker. >> someone called expressing

concern about safety of the and dees at our conference in response to that complaint, a eager and willing bureaucrat complied and reclassified isi educational program as a social event in all social events in state of virginia are limited it to only 10 people effectively canceling our student journal of campus this weekend. america has a much bigger problem with cancel culture and if we don't address it now and if we don't bring together people from across the political spectrum to say enough is enough, we're going destroy this country. >> what is your reaction? >> he's absolutely roaght and i hope that we can find another venue because i'm supposed to be at this conference but he's right that right now it is conservatives that are being canceled conservatives are being targeted. it could be anybody next. and so americans together have a vested interest in combating this toxic cancel culture because it is not just bad for

conservatives it is bad for everyone. >> thanks so much for coming on. senator josh haully joins us at the top of the hour and plus benjamin netanyahu texas governor greg abbott and kayleigh mcenany. trelegy for copd. ♪ birds flyin' high, you know how i feel. ♪ ♪ breeze drifting on by you know how i feel. ♪ ♪ it's a new dawn... ♪ if you've been taking copd sitting down, it's time to make a stand. start a new day with trelegy. no once-daily copd medicine has the power to treat copd in as many ways as trelegy. with three medicines in one inhaler,

>> peter doocy live outside with the latest on this. hey, peter. >> part of the president's plea with the american people when he took over was to stop talking about political opponents like they are enemies. because they are not. and he's not calling these republican leaders reopening their states enemies. but he's calling them neanderthals. >> i think it is a big mistake. last thing we need is neanderthal anything that in the meantime everything is fine take off your mask. forget it. it is still matters. >> white house says they aren't asking people just to listen to the president. they want people listening to experts and the cdc and cdc director said yesterday she does not think it is time to drop covid-19 restrictions right now but leaders in texas and mississippi are hoping to give residents more power over their own lives. texas senator john john cornyn s if they want to wear a mask they can wear a mask and governor of mississippi takes being call thed a neanderthal leak this.

>> i feel the same way as i did the day that hillary clinton called all of us in middle america deplorable it struck me as someone who needs get outside of washington, d.c. and actually travel to middle america. >> it has been exactly one week since white house posted an event celebrating the 50 million covid-19 vaccine going out. but despite that president biden says he still wants people social distanced washing their hands, and restricted where possible there are leaders in texas and mississippi who don't want to wait any longer. back to you. >> peter thanks so much. by the way and southern border that doesn't apply to you you don't have to wear a mask or wash your handle come on in we'll let you in no there. and in the last two months that's what governors are seeing let's bring in missouri gop senator josh hawley on this senator, is this neanderthal thinking because i'm looking by the states listings of the

states without mask mandates. missouri is one of them. are you -- do you have archaic thinking? >> what a uniter joe biden is. you know this is mr. unity. and yet if you disagree with him you're a neanderthal he's called people who disagree with him nazis it is unbelievable in missouri we are called by d.c. crowd flyover country so we've gotten this treatment for years but truth is there's nothing wrong with actually following the science allowing poem to make their own decisions in missouri we have had a flexible approach in the beginningening our governor has den a good job giving local counties ability to make their own decisions but listen, if joe biden really wants to do more why doesn't he focus his covid relief package on vaccine distribution? and actually put the brunt of the package there instead he is spending hundreds of millions of dollars on stuff like abortion providers and environmental justice. that shows you where his priorities are. >> people's money only 9% is

going to covid relief, and it is called the covid relief package. when you look at all of the pork i think we have a list of so much stuff that lawmakers have crammed in here. >> covidy stuff. $1 trillion, though, has been not spent from past covid-19 relief bell so what does that tell you does that tell you this is excuse they want to say it is covid relief bell but excuse to get what they need for their community and their big donors? >> yeah. exactly right. it is about their left wing agenda and actually the white house has been pretty frank about this if i think they called it most progressive piece of domestic legislation in a generation. and that's about right. notice covid is nowhere in that sentence. yeem you look at their priorities funding abortion provider and environmental justice shoveling money to money to blue states, who is revenues are actually up. i mean it is just pure politics meanwhile what about workers -- you know all of their promises to workers about direct relief they've scaled those back, and

scaled those back. so workers are getting less vaccine distributions actually getting less, and i mean not as you said not less than 9% of the money goapg medical code relief all of the rest of it to their special interest and to their left wing agenda it is crazy. >> yeah. we know a lot of people watching right now looking at that 1.9 trillion thinking okay but where's my check? you know there are a lot of people senator in this country qhor hurting bad. and it is great that the federal government can open up our wallet their wallet uncle sam wallet and write them a check to help them through tough time the problem republicans have is with all of that other stuff right? >> yeah. that's exactly right. i mean, listen, i supported direct relief to working families for months on end and fact that got it in last covid relief package back in december that president trump signed i thought it should have been even more back then and president right about that he wanted it 2,000 families that's what it

should have been so this i'm all for that. the problem is, that the rest of this bill while they've been scaling back the democrats have relief to working families, they've been loading up their own special interest priorities. 50 million dollars for abortion providerrers environmentalist left wing cause is getting millions and millions in this will bell, and that's just the stf we know about. wait until they read it today. >> sure what about 350 billion to states and local governments that shut everything down whereas other states like -- florida kept things open with a lower unemployment rate, the states that have a high unemployment rate like new york where we're sitting, they will benefit from this. absolutely they will and many of the blue states that get billions under this bill their tax revenues are actually up in 2020. they ended up doing better than they thought that they were going to. and as you say they've already gotten billions in previous

packages. so this is -- it is a left wing give away. it is a left wing social algd that they're trying to use here and they're going to do it all without republican support, i mean, they're not even attempting to get republican vote in the senate. >> so good news is they threw out nancy pelosi basically symbolic threw out nancy pelosi transit system and throughout chuck schumer bridge to canada, but you, you have more targeted relief that moderate so-called moderate democrats are asking for so that will be in the bill. but that's interesting senator ron johnson read the whole bill outloud to delay any passage at 00 pages but let's move on to talk about some of the president nominee getting turbulence once is a controversial pick xavier attorney general of california. one of the controversial quotes that i want to share with you that you know about april third. there are not criminals. they haven't committed a crime. against someone, and they are not acting violently or in a way that's harmful to people and i would argue they are not harming

people indirectly either if you call them criminals it is easier to get people to turn against them than if you call them undocumented immigrants. that's how he's going approach the border. that's how he will approach his job if he gets a jobs at hhs. >> illegal border entry in this country is a crime and what's interesting when i asked merrick garland if he supported keeping illegal entry -- he wouldn't answer me. yeah. so you see what you see a pattern here from biden administration which is to urn it a blind you to what's going on at the border we already have another crisis building at the border. they know it, by the way. and yet they're doing nothing. so they're going to it legal immigration torse open and tried to criminalize pro-life advocacy what's his priority been going after -- folks who are pro-life, it has been pushing a hard left agenda. >> rejected. what are his stances?

>> because sixth panel is deadlocked? >> i think he's in trouble, and that's good news because this is a guy with a radical, radical left wing record, and so i hope that senate democrats take hard look at this say is this the kind of guy who wants to prosecute pro-life didn'ts guy in birth abortion and use taxpayer mown to fund abortions, i mean again that's just radical. >> particularly during a global pandemic, when joe biden number one priority is getting rid of the pandemic you would think they would have -- somebody from the health care world, or somebody who was a doctor to head that up. but instead they've got the former attorney general. senator i wanted to ask you about your offices up on the capitol hill complex. and house is canceled today's votes because of worries and the headline out of the washington post is capitol police intel shows militia group plotting to take the capitol today because

march 4th historically has been inauguration day before the 20th amendment. what do you know about this threat and how seriously are people taking it? >> you know, i only know what i've read and what i see reported so if i personally haven't been briefed i'm not aware of any briefings that's been offered to senators at large about this. you know we're planning to be in session today and to go about our work. and i'll just say that you know we've got if there are serious threats then, obviously, we hope those will be reported to members that will be able to make a decision but in the meenl time we've got to keep doing the work that we were sent here to do and do it safely and reasonably as we can. j do you think major guard do you still want them there and congressman he said it is time for them to go home. >> oh. i mean, i think that fact we've got thousands of national guards men and women and you know certainly appreciate their service but the idea that they're going to be there indefinitely that appears to be the plan we've had these

hearings up on the hill recently about january 6th, and folks have been asking over and over how long will the guard be on capitol hill? nobody can get an answer. yeem it appears to be indefinite i think the idea of keeping them there indefinitely a bashed wire fence around capitol is crazy. this is the people's house. it should be open to the people. and just to say that you know hey, maybe for forever, we'll have the massive guard presence and have it fenced off from the public i think is a wrong choice. whanch is life like for you now with backlash from democrats in particular about -- about your -- would be speech on january 6th, and the unrest that we all know about. have things settled down for you? >> you know, it has been -- truly it has been amazing to see the outpouring of support since their efforts to cancel me to cancel other conservatives to cancel anybody who won't go whroong their radical left agenda, of course, they lie

every this way about my objection on january 6th they lie about my position and it hasn't worked that's the -- that's the great thing you look at my supports and my home state of missouri you look at the support from around nation they have utterly failed backfired actually. and ping i think people want folks to tell the truth and keep on doing their job that's exactly what i'm going to do. >> we want everybody safe today as they do their job on the capitol hill complex. sir thank you very much for joining us today. >> thank you. >> thank you. sphwhreef it is u7s 13 near in the east and there's carly with headlines. >> that's right start it right here with this hunter biden probe is active and ongoing without white house interference. sources rather exclues ofly telling fox news that those involved in the investigation which is being run out of the u.s. attorney's office in delaware are, quote, treating it seriously. they're looking into hunters business dealings overseas.

>> cdc releasings highly anticipated post vaccination guidelines the updated guidance expected fully to be fully vaccinated that fully vaccinated americans that it would be safe for them to gathered in without a mask if they were together. fox news medical contributor marc siegel writes about this topic in his book covid the politics of fear and the power of science and he joins us now. good morning to you dr. siegel. >> good morning ainsley. ainsley: do you believe they weren't ready or do you think it was political?

>> of course it was political amendment what's disturbing let's start with the fact that by the way that for doctors guidelines are just that. they're guidelines. but what's happened over the course of the pandemic ainsley is that guidelines have either been rigidly ep force or ignored but become political football and in this case, i was ready to come on this show today and talk about how these guidelines didn't go far enough and in other words small gatherings with two people or fully vaccinated is fine because the vaccine is a 95% effectiveness and it is -- decreases transmission as well. so that certainly safe to take off your mask many that setting. but what about people who are vaccinated that go out into the community where can they go safely that wasn't even beginning to be addressed and now they're delaying them which spreads more fear ainsley and you saw that fear in the eyes of parents when you went around the country recently on incredible tour to schools. you saw how parent are suffering. how children are suffering, because public health is not about just the issue of

covid-19. it is about the issue of the damage that is done by everybody being shut down. ainsley: what's your reaction to those that are happening in texas and mississippi saying neanderthal however you say it -- and calling it he just cede don't let your guard down. but you've got all of these governors saying don't tell us federal government what to do with our state we see the numbers. what's your opinion? >> well you just said it we see the numbers. i mean, look massachusetts had 300 new cases yesterday. montana 100 cases so why should montana be following these rigid rules you know massachusetts criticized for not reopening fast enough. and i think texas is very mindful as florida is about what are happening to these businesses what are happening to people who can't go to outdoor restaurant even all of this factors in and so -- the idea of using word neanderthal completely wrong it shows a lack of larger public public health understanding here what are we doing by stranging

a lot of migrants here with us today in the city of brownsville they're put on buses and they're being sent all over the nation. and the federal government has no -- is putting no accountability with it it is truly shameful to be honest with you and shameful biden administration is doing nothing for the local residents of the city of brownsville. steve: jaw dropping so people are processed by federal government they say go and they go wherever they're going to go until they're -- you know, their refugee hearing, and their cases are adjudicated what so many of them do is go to bus depot and do a rapid test and they say you're positive or you're negative. >> uh-huh. >> bus company cannot ask anybody before they get on the bus hey, do you have coronavirus they can't ask city of brownsville can't stop them from traveling. and something like 6.of the people on the bus have tested positively. in your town, the county

positivity rate is close to 15%. so i know you worry about the people who are actually on the bus and don't realize those people who are all sitting together in corner. all have covid -- >> yeah. yeah it is truly -- truly awful to be honest with you because a lot of the times that a lot of these bus drivers, you know, they don't know who's going on these buses they don't know who is got covid-19 and who doesn't. and you know, everybody is sitting shoulder to shoulder and to be honest with you a lot of these mask they're not going help. they're not going to help. you know, you're putting the risk of the bus driver you're putting risk of the local citizens like myself, and including like my uncle, you know, who is over age of 80 years old he uses bus and to be honest with you bus system are people that are a lot older and not have been vaccinated because of the fact that they don't have a car. you know, and because of the

fact people that do have cars, the majority of them are getting vaccinated so -- you know -- >> lewis that's why you've told your uncle don't ride the bus it would kill you. >> it could kill him and a lot of people opt bus are a lot older and vulnerable. and not only that but a lot of those people are going to communicate with people like myself and rest of my family and rest of my friends here in the city of brownsville. it is truly terrible to be honest with you. it really is. steve: you know, i understand during course we have a conversation, and you know, the bus company does not clean the bus after people with covid leave we don't believe, and when they're waiting at the depot, in brownsville, do they have a separate bathroom for people who have covid and people who do not? >> absolutely not. so the bus depot itself is not only to go from city to city but it is also the regular bus depot that a lot of citizens in the

city of brownsville use like i said, and unfortunately there's only one bathroom there's only one bathroom for both man and women and so everybody has to share that restroom. you have social citizens local n who is don't have covid-19 using that rest rom and migrants that do are also using that rest rule as well. you know, there's no precautions being taken you know. not one bit. steve: it's crazy, and it is so infuriating infuriating when you think about it president joe biden said number one priority is to get rid of covid. but at the same time, the federal government by what they are allowing, they are spreading covid all over the country. i was reading the story from the npc affiliate down there in brownsville that said the people who tested positive -- for covid who got on a bus, they were going to north carolina, they were going to maryland, they were going to the state i live in, new jersey and, of

course, it is not once they get there they say hey i've got covid. they just -- that are supposed to isolate but if they have isolated it they would still be in texas. >> in state of new york pibal if you were going from say if you wanted to travel from texas to new york, you know, during, you know, last year, if you didn't take a test, you were going to have a $10,000 fine. you know, and imagine that. setses of citizens of the united states fined for not getting a test what about all of these migrants what's the accountability for these and fine they're never going to be fined biden administration will not fine them one bit. just -- you know -- not thoonl i would like to mention that local democrats complaining about greg abbott lifting mask mandate you know, it's just truely terrible. you know? steve: it is a problem that -- everybody across the country should know about that's why we

brought him on today lewis thank you for joining us from brownsville. >> yes. thank you so very much. i appreciate it. nice to meet you. >> all right. can you believe it? all right. straight ahead house democrats just passed a police reform bill with no republican votes we're going to break down changes that could effectively defund the police. meanwhile from our friends at fox bet download the fox bet supersix app plait for a chance to win $10,000 by the weekend and predict six outcomes topics range from you've seen this play it entertainment, sports, the weather, free to display so download it today. that rhymes.

>> house democrats passed a controversial police reform bill yesterday. ainsley: critics say defund

police departments across the country change the way that officers perform their jobs. >> i think it absolutely says that ashley strohmier joins us live with a break down of the measure, ashley. ashley: this police reform bill will overhaul national policing standards on self levels it is passed into law. opponents say it is effectively defunds police and will cost departments across the country hundreds of millions of dollars. and that bill is named in memory of george floyd who's death triggered black live matter protest last summer that aims to ban choke holds and immunity and no knock warrants outlawed. president biden has shown support for the legislation, and intends to sign it should it be passed by the senate house minority leader kevin mccarthy tweeting in part unfunded mandates in their bill hr1280 cost police departments hundreds of millions of dollars equivalent of taking 3,000 cops off the streets are men and women in uniform deserve better. bill faces tough road in the

senate, though, where gop lawmakers are bashing it as overly partisan, that with a there 50/50 split one democrat to vote against it if not vote tie breaking vote goes to kamala harris. could pass on simple majority ashley i guess? >> it could. >> first they have to get 60 votes in the senate to proceed with it which means they would need to get at least 10 republicans to sign onboard and then it would be a simple majority and right now, it doesn't look as if they've got the democrats have votes to do that. >> kat she's a newly elected congresswoman she's from grate state of florida and she's the south of a first responder. she says something on the house floor that was very emotional you can see the vest, the bullet proof vest that her husband wears. right next to her and listen to what she says you defund this is what it means for our families.

>> mr. speaker i rise today to speak in strong opposition in the to the efforts by you and your colleagues to defund our police. this week will be voting on heart attack r12 policing act, this bill named after man who was murdered by police officer. the officer responsible should have never been allowed to dawn a badge act on behalf of the agencies sworn to protect centss he should and is being held accountable as member of the first responder family i can say definitively on behalf of our officers that there's absolutely nothing, nothing that a good cop heats more than a bad cop. and as the wife of a first responder, this issue could not be more personal to me. my husband serves our local community as a firefighter, and a s.w.a.t. metic for our local police department next to me you see a s.w.a.t. vest this bull and by extension you mr. speaker want to take this vest off of my husband back. because yes what this bill does is take this kind of equipment off of the backs of our men and

women in uniform. i ask you mr. speaker, and my colleagues who are considering voting for this bill, are you waking up at 2 a.m. going to respond a gruesome murder? are you miss yours children's birthday parties to respond to gang shootings? there's absolutely room for us to improve. there's absolutely room and a necessity for us to do better. but the answer is not to defunctioned police it is not the answer. what this bill ultimately does is defund the police. you want to better train more responsive police force in your hometown fully functioned the police. >> impassioned and you know, by having her husband s.w.a.t. vest apparently he is a s.w.a.t. team medic for the fire department by showing that reeght there you think poke okay if i'm going to provide medical aid to somebody who has been injured in a situation where there could be live fire something like that i want something like that. but what she's talking about is -- if you withdraw funding that provides things like that, who is going to protect her husband

and the thousands of people all across the country who defend all of us each and every day? >> by the way, quality immunity got to get rid of all cops what cop will go out not making a million dollars knowing that some feels as though he went over line and maybe cuff too sight sued for everything they have you have to have qualified immunity body camera and iphone you can take it from there. number two is, i wanted you to know if you ask a police officer, how were you supposed to suppress somebody without any type of hold? you can't put your hands on anyone you want them stop and they don't have to stop and you don't want to shoot them and just to go and without talking to cops at the academy, about how to stop assailant but saying choke that would they're not choke hold but hold to stop somebody who is coming after you. or stop someone who is running away from you. so that these are some of the issues that you can't sit there as a lawmaker and act like you

know how to make bring cops into the 21st century if you feel as, though, they're not there. whnch you see that image of the vest it really tells the story and it brings it home and then it makes us all see visualize, exactly what happens when they write these bills or change the laws, or they sign an executive order that gets rids of jobs at the pipeline if they get rid of these vest it is literally means men and women who were serving our country could not come home that night. right. carly -- you're upstairs give us rest of the news as it breaks. >> that's true. very good points guys starting g with law enforcement agencies in virginia and georgia they'll hold funeral ors fallen officers today stanley police officer dominic shot and killed on february 26th after a traffic stop. he's survived by his wife tara and four children. and in decatur county shot in line of duty over the weekend

if you condition funding on the reopening of schools, that money will only go to white and wealthier schools. this is the recipe for propagating structural racism. we have to call out the privilege behind largely white, wealthy parents driving the push for a rushed return. >> really? parents in los angeles pushing back after those comments from the city's teachers union president blaming you heard it structural racism, of course, white parents with the push to reopen schools. radio talk show host lives in los angeles here to react. all right is this white and black is this a white and black issue? >> when in doubt pull out the race card brine i went to crenshaw high school if you saw the movie boys in hood that's my high school. pick up the newspaper a few years ago l.a. time front page story only 3% of kids from my former high school can do math at grade level in california,

85% of black kids cannot read at state level the proficiency. 80% of hispanic kids cannot. now, lausd los angeles school district it is almost all hispanic 75.of the kids are hispanic only about 10% of them are white so i have no idea what the hell she's talking about this being driven by rich white parents. rich white parents don't have their kids in urban school. this is an absolute outraj urban parents want their kids in school. when i talk to them, they are furious brian, a large number of these parents are single parents they can't be at home, obviously, to make sure kids are engailged online learning. i look at a study that was reported in l.a. times of the kids who were engaging in online learning, asian kids are doing it. white kids are doing it. to lesser degree hispanics to lesser degree, and blacks to lesser degree. so of the kids who are hurt by this, these are black kids, and the head of the l.a. teachers union a latina says this is

joe biden will not plan anything until he gets his rescue bill done and they are zeroing in on it. steve: on the lawn of the white house is reporter peter doocy with extraordinary comments the president had in texas and mississippi. >> he promised to be a president for all americans but not think much of the ones in mississippi telling residents it is okay not to wear masks if they don't want to and reopening businesses 100%. >> it is a big mistake. the last thing we need is neanderthal thinking, take off your mass, forget it. it still matters. >> reporter: mississippi governor said this was like the deplorable line, texas governor

greg abbott joined biden last week for a cordial looking texas tour of winter storm responses. john cornyn, asks washington to but out. >> president biden has a lot of problems to take care of. i don't think he has a lot to say about preaching to my state about how we handled this covid-19 virus. >> reporter: a meeting with lawmakers about a potential infrastructure package, he does not see infrastructure as a partisan issue. accusing people who want to reopen of having neanderthal thinking. steve: not much sweet talking coming from the white house.

the fox news analyst for the first time, now they are on the team, congratulations. what have you been doing? >> going to the zoo with my daughter having fun. steve: in between you have the hardest job in america. i know donald trump approached this, he got criticism for that. the states want their autonomy. are you surprised that the tone and the comments because governor abbott wanted to open his state as well as the governor of mississippi? >> i am surprised. he was supposed to be the great uniter but this is what democrats do, kate reeves was spot on, they call is an intelligent if we can't point to countries on a map.

this is what democrats do to those who tie this to autonomy. simply giving freedom causes joe biden the great uniter to call us neanderthals among other words. >> he is acting like texas is the first to do that or mississippi. 15 states are not requiring masks. alabama says they are set to expire tomorrow. >> reporter: using this pandemic to control people is what they've done from the beginning and when donald trump pointed to the science and said reopening is what we need to do because there are repercussions when you lockdown they call from anti-science. in july i stood at the podium and that it is time to open schools, the science is here they said we are not following the science. we are in a different place now than we were many months ago and governors like ron desantis in florida allows people to make their own choices and they do so

intelligently. steve: these are things they would like to ask joe biden but he really, we will show you statistics in the moment and solo interview, with the white house press corps, in the resume call with house democrats. it looks like when joe goes off script, watch this and figure out what happened. >> whatever you want me to do.

>> looks like he was not supposed to take questions that could have been one of the things we've seen in the past. initial comments are telecasts and they break into discussion groups but why hasn't he had a solo press conference. is it like a campaign where he was hiding in the basement? >> reporter: that was his strategy all along. his oval office, never going out to the brady press briefing room but that is what he offered, he gave transparency and maybe we won't take questions, he was always willing to take questions, go to the podium, to stop on his way to the helicopter. transparency, he set a 100 year record for not going to the podium.

ainsley: it worked, he got elected by saying is this going to work? do you think they will say he is already in office, we control what he does and never let him do a press conference? >> reporter: they have to do a press conference at some point. jen psaki has said the pressure is mounting, how operational this is, have this may cut him off for so long. >> wants to give people the freedom. doesn't mean kroger can't make their own decisions, they want you to wear a mask. jcpenney, starbucks, giving you the ability, showing where lockdown is more effective than freedom. florida has better numbers in california and new york. it is not go crazy, you have the obligation, you have the freedom to do what you want.

let's talk about the job you used to have. you don't have big binders in front of you, you knew where they were going to go. this is jen psaki. >> i've not talked to the national security team about it, details on the writing of the proclamation. they would have more specifics, i don't know if it will include specific recommendations -- i am happy to circle back with the team on that. i hate to disappoint conservative twitter but i'm going to circle back. >> you can't anticipate every question but it is like you are a crossing guard. >> reporter: i wish jen psaki all the best, it is a very hard

job but that being said we took great pains in our administration for hours and hours of research or days, calling secretary jen psaki -- azar. i always knew where my boss stood. unlike other press secretary fits and have walk-in privileges i can walk in at any time. always knew where he stood before every press conference, a list of items i found the press would ask and go through one by one. didn't have to do it in of circling back because donald trump gave a lot of access. >> i've heard from people who say they tried to answer the question or somebody from the communications team. let's talk about what is going on on capitol hill, one of the reasons joe biden had to have resume, trying to make sure

everybody is on board with $1.9 trillion stimulus. when you look at the numbers of the economy coming to the point pretty much where we were before the pandemic. a lot of republicans, spending close to $2 trillion on this, money we don't have, people want their checks but so much of that bill is not coronavirus related. >> reporter: pet project, 9% goes to covid-19 and what joe biden should do is instead of just paying lip service to bipartisanship he could do it, donald trump in our administration managed to get three or four pieces of bipartisan covid-19 legislation. show biden said he was going to unite, to engage bipartisanship and i have talked to this many republican elected officials but never takes a step towards them. it was the previous

administration -- steve: it is neanderthal thinking. >> reporter: i will use his words and throw them back at him. ainsley: you did a great job with harris fokker coming back to the fox family you got your television start here and coming back and we are happy and proud of your career. what is the future of the gop? >> reporter: people have sent an unmistakable message that they support donald trump, the polling shows that. there are other incredible leaders who have said the party is going in this direction, i'm going to go that way too. ron desantis, the vice president, mike pence, amazing present, josh halley who you just had on, the leaders of the party need to follow the direction people take us because i am so proud that in the last election we got the most votes any president had gotten in 20 years, the biggest hispanic voting 16 years, it is

extraordinary the way the party has opened up and we need to welcome more and more people. ainsley: a lot of speculation about the relationship with vice president pence, very strong speech, ron desantis had a quick show, what can you tell us about the relationship between those two? you couldn't get a piece of paper between them for four years and now they don't seem to be in communication? >> reporter: i've not fit into their relationship but they are on great terms. mike pence is an amazing man who stood by donald trump's side, was there every step of the way, understands the trump movement, people of faith and the evangelical community, has a huge voice and his party going forward, they are on the same page. steve: kayleigh mcenany, for press secretary, now part of our team, thank you for joining us.

8:11 in new york city and carly has some headlines. steve: embattled new york governor andrew cuomo breaks his silence after several women come forward with allegations of sexual harassment. >> i am sorry for whatever pain i caused anyone. i never intended it and i will be the better for this experience. carley: his accuser by slamming his apology, he's refusing to re-sign as the attorney general launches an investigation. extreme weather, west virginia governor declaring a state of emergency after heavy rain caused devastating flooding in the south was the order covers 18 affected counties and look at this. a kentucky boat marina breaks away and crashes into a bridge on a swollen river after the

state was slammed with rain. former us secretary of state mike pompeo isn't rolling a possible 2024 presidential run. >> i'm always up for a good fight. i've been in front of the conservative movement for a long time and i aim to keep at it. >> he was a cancer scotsman from 2011-2017 before working under the trump administration. we will wait and see on that front. >> probably waiting to see if donald trump is around. thank you so much, law and disorder as los angeles sees a rise in violent crime, time to oust the man in charge of prosecuting the criminals. >> we have a problem and his name is george gascon. steve: still ahead of the telecast angela netanyahu and

texas governor greg abbott, lots of questions for him. stick around. you are watching "fox and friends first". the ups and downs of frequent mood swings can take you to deep, depressive lows. or, give you unusually high energy, even when depressed. overwhelmed by bipolar i? ask about vraylar. some medicines only treat the lows or highs. vraylar effectively treats depression, acute manic and mixed episodes of bipolar i in adults. full-spectrum relief for all bipolar i symptoms, with just one pill, once a day. elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis have an increased risk of death or stroke. call your doctor about unusual changes in behavior

or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants can benjamin netanyahu and young . report fever, stiff muscles, or confusion, which may mean a life-threatening reaction, or uncontrollable muscle movements, which may be permanent. side effects may not appear for several weeks. high cholesterol and weight gain, high blood sugar, which can lead to coma or death, may occur. movement dysfunction, sleepiness, and stomach issues are common side effects. when bipolar i overwhelms, vraylar helps smooth the ups and downs.

for nearly a decade, when bipolar i overwhelms, comcast has been helping students get ready. we've connected 4 million low-income students to low- cost, high-speed xfinity internet. we're working with hundreds of school districts across the country to sponsor free internet and laptops. and parents are seeing an impact. and now we're turning 1,000 community centers into lift zones - wifi enabled safe spaces to study. so more students can be ready for anything. i'm trying to do some homework here.

>> this man is a criminal best friend. >> it is not fair, please, just get this man out of here. >> not only joined the criminal but engaging in crime in the criminal enterprise there is no problem. his name is george gascon. ainsley: that last speaker has

joined victims pushing to remove la's da george gascon over criminal justice reforms. the sheriff joins us now. thank you for joining us. what is your biggest issue of having district attorney? >> it is not reconcilable with the need the victims of crime, totally in opposition. it is all to the benefit of criminal offenders. eliminating use of a firearm in commission of a crime, eliminating multiple victims, take the death penalty off the table.

and state after state, not just because of the crime itself, will not hold a predator accountable for the actions. ainsley: your officers are trained in a certain way and you have to retrain them all and tell them what the new laws say? >> we will keep doing what we are doing and we will prevent and investigate crime and go to the district attorney and the district attorney will issue these rejections, they are not going to file the charter and also people on this side fighting with police. he raised the stakes and made or threatening all the time.

>> how long has he been in that position? >> december of 2020, 2 and a half, 3 months out. ainsley: let me review the stats in los angeles. homicide, comparing 20222021, up 18, aggravated assault, 265, shootings up 267. if you are raising a family in that area that is pretty scary. what do you expect in the future with this guy in office, gascon? >> the year 2020 was a pandemic, we saw 36% increase in homicide, the first two months of 2021 we have seen 170% increase homicide and the trends are going in the wrong direction and mister gascon is trying to pushes

further, and a bizarre idea that locking people up and holding them accountable for violent crime somehow increases recidivism and he keeps citing science and data when i say there is no data that shows bad things. sean: to the west coast, it was very powerful and they felt he was more pro-criminal, than the victims themselves. this is a statement released to us. the minority victims what the maximum punishment imposed in their case. these views are not shared by majority of survivors, they don't find healing by putting another person in a cage.

additionally studies show accepted sentencing processes leading to more victims of crime which our system of justice can't continue to rely on policies that create more victims tomorrow because the minority of victims, the maximum punishment imposed in their case today. in your experience in law enforcement, do most victims families say let them out soon? we don't want them to be behind bars? >> that is utter nonsense. the person who bankrolled george gascon's race for district attorney, at the same time unseating african-american female, and george soros, the research about injustice. very slick, very well done. it is not peer-reviewed.

the victims are quite the opposite. ainsley: $4 million in outside money to run his campaign. good luck with the recall. i know you have to get 580,000 signatures, 160 days to do that. >> that is up to the victims. my job is on the focus on public safety. ainsley: thank you for your good work. snl comedian michael say yet to apologize for joke about israel that many felt was anti-semitic. benjamin netanyahu will join us live with his reaction. the texas governor announces the end of the mask mandate, president biden calls it -- help me out. neanderthal idea. what does governor abbott think

this remote stuff. >> reporter: as we see the gradual return to the classroom, there is still a third of students across the country learning virtually only, kids right here in new jersey and parents say this because teachers refuse to go back to the classroom. parents are taking action, they have a class-action lawsuit against the school board, not taking money but order that school reopen. parents say kids are suffering deprived of their constitutional right to education. a third grader in an elementary school where we are, virtual learning, taking on his daughter. >> it is devastating. whether it is academic,

emotional, physical, there are a lot of byproducts of being remote and not having interaction with teachers and other students that have been detrimental to the development and welfare of kids. >> reporter: new jersey governor phil murphy announced seniors will be eligible for the vaccine starting march 15th but the teachers union in their school district would not commit to in person learning even after the vaccination announcement. they told us the vaccine would assuage their anxiety and concerns but, quote, it does not change our opinion. the school board and the superintendent when reached for comment said they could not comment on the ongoing litigation in this matter but noted would filed a lawsuit against the teachers union trying to get teachers back in the classroom but a gradual return to the classroom across the country seems in montclair

the teachers union is digging in its heels while parents and school board are turning to the courts out of desperation. back to you. steve: doesn't look like the kids will go back any time before summer. thank you for the live report. steve: president biden taking heat after remarks about covid-19 restrictions. >> i hope everyone has realized by now masks make a difference. the last thing we need is neanderthal thinking that everything is fine, take off your mask, forget it. it still matters. steve: texas is one of the state he is referring to and governor greg abbott is one of the people he was thinking about. how the response of the president's unification message? >> two things, first, it is not the type of thing a president

should be saying, but seconds, he said it on the worst day he could have. the same day he said that, in texas the biden administration was releasing illegal immigrants into our communities who had covid-19. the biden administration was spreading covid-19 in south texas yesterday because of their lack of constraint of testing and quarantining, people come across the border illegally. the biden administration was exposing texas to covid-19. that is a neanderthal type approach dealing with the covid-19 situation but more importantly, with regard to masks the change in texas wasn't all that much different from what we were before for a couple reasons.

we are still strongly advocating every texan follow best practices. where we are today is different from where we were this time last year when texans and americans didn't know how to deal with this. for an entire year texans of learned the best practice to wear a mask and we strongly recommend that people do wear a mask but i know you folks know when we saw spikes in cases after christmas and new year's we saw that most of those spikes didn't occur in businesses or schools or other locations like retail centers, most of those transmissions occurred in the home setting where people were not wearing a mask in the first place so the mask requirement being illuminated isn't going to make a change in the state of texas. also people in texas will continue to wear masks even though there is not a state mandate. we are in a situation where government mandates are not needed because texans know the best practices. brian: you've given them the freedom to decide, kroger's, macy's, starbucks, target, you've got to wear masks. it is up to the states 1 quote

was from the host on another channel, governor reeves in mississippi, you are intentionally murdering people of color with this policy. >> nothing could be further from the truth for different reasons. one thing texas is doing is setting up 1100 national guard to go to communities that are hard to reach with regard to vaccination program and making sure everybody of every color will have a chance to get the vaccine, texas is doing a great job rolling out vaccines, yesterday was an all-time record, 229,000 vaccines. for the past week we should 1.2 million vaccines, it is very close to people of color and all kinds of things are being done

to make sure everybody in texas is getting vaccine, vaccine numbers are going up very rapidly. people of all categories and colors but i have to emphasize this. our main focus in texas is to focus on those most likely to lose their life or be hospitalized because of covid-19, those age 65 and older. from the time that order goes into effect, 50% of that population will have been vaccinated. brian: the ceo who was controlling the grid during the arctic freeze has been fired, he is on a 60 day exit plan. are you in support of that? brian: i called for his resignation. we know from the fact put together and information provided to me a large part of this problem was operational error, making assessment before the storm, operational error and slamming on the brakes as opposed to opposing a slow rolling blackout like driving a

car on ice could lead to a rack and that is what happened here, waited until too late to slow the provision of power forcing him to slam on the brakes and that led to a domino effect of shutting down the consequences. fixing operational error here will go a long way to fixing the problem. carley: investing in that prior to this would make sense. thanks so much. >> coming up straight ahead, can't wait, exclusive interview with the prime minister of israel, benjamin netanyahu. talk about his reelection effort and investigation into war crimes which he is the subject of and how the country is 88% vaccinated already. we learn from that and download the fox super 6 apps and play for a chance to win 10,$000,

brian: we are in new york, let's go to jerusalem with the prime minister of israel, benjamin netanyahu. good morning. >> great to be with you. steve: first question. after a 5-year investigation the international criminal court looking into whether israel, particularly israeli soldiers, committed war crimes the targeted civilians, we've seen the headlines, tell us what you can about this story. >> i think this is an outrageous

decision by up politicized kangaroo court that goes against the one democracy in the middle east, israel, whose soldiers honorably and scrupulously do everything to avoid civilian casualties while fighting the worst terrorist honor to a doing everything they can to commit casualties. they put on the investigation, israel. they don't put on syria were the assad regime has butchered half 1 million people or iran every monday and wednesday committed war crimes. this is pure anti-semitism. this is a perversion of justice. this is something that happens to us today but tomorrow it will happen to you. your soldiers, they are thinking of investigating your soldiers. this is an affront to all democracies and everyone should stand together. i live in jerusalem which has been our capital since the time of king david. they say if we build a house in

jerusalem that is a war crime. this is outrageous. anything you build beyond the 67 line is a war crime. this is outrageous. particularly outrageous because the icc, the international court, was built to prevent the type of horrors committed on the jewish people by the nazis and they are turning their guns on the one and only state of the jewish people, we are not going to stand for and i will fight for it, fight for the truth, fight against this perversion of justice until the terrific decision is an old. we stand up against it. ainsley: the numbers are amazing, 88% of anyone over the age of 50 has been vaccinated,

some 75% of those aged 50 years old are eligible for a green pass. what is his advice for the rest of the world? how do we do what you are doing? >> 90% of israelis are jabbed at least once, many of them twice and the others -- how can i say this? we are rushing towards herd immunity. how do we do this? quick decisions, tremendous distribution system, mobilization of the citizenry, their health and lives are depending on it. we are very proud of this. is real used to be known and is known as a startup nation. from today, it will be the vaccination nation.

we are sharing experiences, the prime minister of denmark and austria coming here today in 20 minutes to begin a meeting to share and benefit other nations as they come out of covid-19. steve: you give the option to stand outside the vaccination center. should they have the category pulled up? here in new york they were throwing them out. i wish we took your lead first on that. is that a small point or a big point? >> in israel, people are waiting for a vaccine, we opened up everything and get vaccinated. we started with the other one

but the first country in the world to emerge from corona with the green passports, you can go to restaurants, theaters, movies and sports events. i don't think we are coming out completely we will have to wear a mask for some time. we are looking into the future. let israel to produce the vaccines of tomorrow. vaccination nation is where we are going. brian: since israel is on the leading edge and i know you're reluctant to give advice but what would you say about what the united states is doing and how to fix it, different states have different metrics and are doing different things. >> the most important thing, two most important things as fast as you can.

it should be done by everyone. you can get over covid-19, we are getting over covid-19. ainsley: how did you distribute the shots? other big-box stores help but here in new york you have to go to a convention center and have to sign up online and asking the elderly population to wait 5 hours to get there shots and you can't ask someone to do that who is 95 years old. >> having a lot of multiple places but we in israel have a

unique system of hmos, digital databases, everybody wins in. use other elements, cut the bureaucracy. brian: you went to school here for a while, you're familiar with saturday night live. there is outreach in the american jewish community in many pockets for this weekend update joke, there were protests outside the taping this week, how is real was only a portion of the population. >> they vaccinated half of their population and i guess it is the jewish half. >> that is outrageous. i brought vaccines especially to the arab communities, arab

citizens and vaccinated as many as we can. must've gone through half a dozen arab communities, talked to the mayors, brought the leaders and the doctors, this is outrageous. the interesting thing is not accidentally, many many citizens are voting for me because not only i brought vaccines for everyone, but brought peace for everyone. i brought four historic pieces that were helped by donald trump's peace deal. in a few weeks, everybody in israel said who brought this? and we are with you. i am the father of my oldest boy, when i go to our villages, they say father of the year, we love you. we are changing history on that too.

steve: a lot of people are unfamiliar with how you reopened your country after the lockdown you achieved for a wild. a lot of school districts are refusing to open to in person learning. what did you do in israel that was effective and safe for everybody, in new jersey there is a class-action lawsuit, they are falling behind. >> we opened kindergarten, in most areas we did that and now we are adding the additional grade. the most important thing we are going to do is add another month in the summer to help close the gaps because the -- it is very

important, intellectual and emotional experience of being with other kids and teachers. zoom is good but not that good. in class learning turns out to be so valuable and especially important in younger ages. we are building it up in the summer. ainsley: what is your relationship like with president biden? he has been in office for 44 days. >> i have known joe biden on for 44 days the close to 40 years when i came into the embassy in 1982. ago senator from delaware, a warm relationship over the years, joe biden is a friend of israel, i know he is, he is committed to his real but i also know sometimes with the best of friends and families would say

we can have differences of opinion. the most important thing, the joe biden understands, my commitment to prevent iran from getting a nuclear weapon is absolute and i believe he understands and respects that as the prime minister of the one and only jewish state, wipe us out from the face of the earth or the map of history. i will do everything in my power to prevent iran from getting nuclear weapons and so far we have been successful. brian: i hope you loud and clear and hopefully the administration, thanks for your time, best of luck in your reelection. i know you're working hard already. >> thank you and good luck, america. steve: our local lead story, andrew cuomo speaking up for the first time since three women

made their sexual harassment accusations. >> i am sorry for whatever pain i caused anyone. i never intended it. will be better for this experience. >> the governor said he is embarrassed and apologized but said i'm not quitting. >> great interview with the prime minister, god bless israel and in our case you just heard a man whose concern is only for himself. every statement even there was about i am going to be a better person. 24 hours ago, 36, just before that statement he issued a written statement where he was mocking the victims, saying what many rasters say, that i was being playful, they didn't

understand, questioning the cognitive ability of women who say they were victimized and harassed, they just didn't understand me and poor andrew cuomo, the most misunderstood man in the world. this was a man who was situated as a false god by the media and the democrats, as really this is the emerging leader for the democratic party and once again in the midst of everything we are dealing with they are doing what they accuse others of doing. what you heard from him is an adjustment of what people wanted to hear, what he should present. maybe he deserves an oscar at this point because no one believes it. he been known as people confirm the women's allegation that the tone and attitude of his administration, he's been the goner for a decade, he was had

secretary of the democrats apparently are throwing him under the bus because i believe they understand what is going to come from this independent investigation and he sees this and is confused because he has been protected for a very long time. he has been able to intimidate his staff and the city of new york when he has no contrition, no regret over 15,000 deaths due to his order with the nursing homes. brian: look at this poll, what people heard about the nursing home scandal which was close to a year ago, 45% had a favorable rating of the governor but after they heard about it, it dropped 20 points, 25%. you have 30 seconds. >> this tells you the importance of the media, reminds us of the

fact, and we know about that regarding president biden. and when they shut down the information, to keep people ignorant and uninformed. this is the value of knowing the value of the media, keeping it in check and andrew cuomo see that now as well and he is in particular trouble. we are stepping aside, "fox and friends" continues in a moment. sensodyne sensitivity and gum gives us a dual action effect that really takes care of both our teeth sensitivity as well as our gum issues. there's no question it's something that i would recommend.

i didn't know why my body was moving on its own. it turns out i have tardive dyskinesia, a condition that may be related to important medications i take from my bipolar disorder. tardive dyskinesia can affect different parts of the body. it may also affect people who take medication for depression and schizophrenia.
