reached a deal by lowing payments to $300 a week and extending checks to the end of september. asked if he was exploiting the crisis of the pandemic. this country faces the worst crises we have experienced in this country. this is what the american people want. even stretching into sunday, the congressional budget office says the third of the cash in this bill, $700 billion will not be spent this year, instead next year. welcome to "fox and friends" this morning.
3:02 am
the senate was still voting, they have been voting, knows what they are voting on at this point, republicans proposing a number of amendments, a lot of details, manchin got the unemployment number to 300 instead of 400, the $15 minimum wage defeated but this is what it looks like to not let a crisis go to waste, a $2 trillion bill, the 6 bill, to this money will never reach the pockets of americans during covid-19 and i did little research on the background, the obamacare bill wasn't even $1 trillion over 10 years and this is the sixth bill of $1 trillion of spending, we are so off the charts, so off the rails it's not even funny yet here we watch as democrats attempt to ram through $2 trillion. >> make sense it would take 12 hours to reconcile this vote to debate these issues, to answer the questions you and i have
3:03 am
had, when does this emergency end, how many relief bills can we pass and went you does incentivize work, the level and length of unemployment versus what people make in the marketplace. if it is more you are does incentivize and work in the most important question, who is driving this entire agenda? who is in charge. senator l was talking about this with bill hammer, and this negotiation brings up the question who is driving this side of negotiations? >> i'm voting know. the package is below and with $1 trillion of extraneous items that are not for this targeted emergency relief the 10 of us republicans want to the white house to offer. we see the numbers today, the economy is recovering, more people are working, there is still a lot of help to be done on the health side and on the unemployment side, we were willing and ready to go but when we have all these other things, that is a nonstarter
3:04 am
for me. >> you preached unity inauguration day. >> i've been in the oval office twice when he said the same thing. i think the forces that are pushing him are stronger than what is natural inclinations are. he wants to deal but doesn't feel like everybody else wants to. >> reporter: extra credit for anyone who read the bill. such an on reality we face that we've gotten used to wear so many of these individuals haven't read it or the fine print and then later discovered this is an and that is in it and whatnot. obviously not much of a commitment to debt and deficit reduction when you look at something like this, two interesting things with respect to schools. there were some amendments put forth, 51-48 amendments instead pass that would require schools to have a safe covid-19 return plan within 30 days of receiving aid. what didn't pass was an amendment for schools to be open 50% of the time for 50% of
3:05 am
students. marco rubio backed that, a little bit of a split on that but hopefully good news with respect to reopening, ultimately as we said many times no matter how much money you throw at this problem, unless the country reopens in some capacity which we are seeing in some states you are not going to have any of this, people will not get back to work, another fox news alert because calls are amplifying for andrew cuomo to resign amid two public scandals. jackie ibanez joins us with more is one accuser comes out with new claims against the governor. >> governor andrew cuomo facing pressure from all sides to step down this morning but the new york democrat is refusing to step aside after apologizing for making women feel uncomfortable.
3:06 am
's office telling staffers that all relevant documents into claims of sexual harassment as one accuser says cuomo did not take sexual harassment training and instead had one of his female aides complete it for him. >> in 2019 he did not take the sexual harassment training. how do you know that? >> i was there. i heard 70 say i can't believe i'm doing this for you. >> bloomberg reports two female staffers left his office amid the scandal. this follows bonds or reports that cuomo epstein covered up the true number of nursing home deaths after a top-rated minutes withholding data and an attorney for the governor defending the democrat writing, quote, there was no undercount of total death irrespective of location and the methodology of how data was presented was accurate. department of justice is investigating. gop leaders are calling for the house oversight committee to convene a hearing on the alleged cover-up. steve: our views would be
3:07 am
forgiven for a little whiplash on trying to figure out what part of the scandal is coming next. is the portion the new york post is covering, criminal, cuomo blasted for shocking cover-up of nursing home deaths, also albany strips governor of covid-19 powers. democrats who control both those chambers voted to strip him of forward-looking emergency powers, he can keep the ones he has, republicans wanted to get rid of all and ultimately the wall street journal and new york times reporting new information about top the use of the administration manipulating july report numbers from the health department, downplayed the number of covid-19 deaths in nursing home so a new wrinkle on the cover of the post and then how about that? the sexual harassment training, everyone has to take it to operate in new york except andrew cuomo who passed the bill in 2018 and had a staffer
3:08 am
do it for him. maybe he should have been there for that training. >> anyone that works for big corporation has probably encountered this type of hr training, you click through various prompts and online courses and just imagine i don't know if that is how it works with governor cuomo but somebody else sitting in his place clicking and listening to the process. i've come to believe this two types of personalities that find themselves democratic politicians and a whole different personalities that find themselves as republican politicians but democrats have true believers like bernie sanders or narcissists whose ideologies step aside and let me be in charge, andrew cuomo falls in the latter. it is a matter of character, a matter of let me the world and whether we are talking nursing home deaths or sexual harassment claims narcissism seems to be the explainer. >> ego the size of the planet, really incredible. i asked around, spoke to a lot
3:09 am
of people in new york this weekend was curious, deblasio takes a lot of heat but i said are you surprised by the behavior you are seeing from cuomo and to my surprise many of them said no, not really, the anticipated he will act like a bully. a cover the rising for them but it was surprising to me because approval numbers were consistently higher than deblasio and yet people kind of accepted this, that is just how cuomo is but i think people are really disgusted mostly when you look at all of this, the sexual harassment stuff, that is appalling if he didn't take the seminar and if any of this is true, full and complete investigation but we already know and found out about what is going on with these nursing homes, the cover-up, like of transparency, how he loves the book tour to praise himself at the this cover-up is appalling and it is most appalling to people who suffered firsthand and lost loved ones despite what andrew cuomo was saying
3:10 am
and lying about, robin's mother-in-law died from covid-19 in a nursing home and she talked about how the two scandals reveal a lot about covid-19's character, listen to what she had to say. >> it's disgusting what is going on. it is and what is going on. it shows what is going on about cuomo's true character that he is being held for a sexual scandal as well but that should not take precedent to the people lost in nursing homes. they were important too. we care. i care. my family cares, 15,000 people cared. >> this is not going anywhere. and investigation across the board. we will cover all of that and there's also huge stories coming out on immigration today that we didn't even get a chance to get to, the southern border under siege, stick with us on the program and we will get to that as well. a few additional headlines six utility workers hurt in texas,

3:25 am
harassment and this isn't an allegation from 34 of years ago, a heiskell party that no one can corroborate a remember, these are rates, recent allegations and that interview on cbs was absolutely devastating for the governor because right now in the court of public opinion when you see cuomo's aids come across as authentic and credible as they are and compare them to andrew cuomo's press conference on wednesday the governor on that front is in big trouble but i'm going back to the media -- chris cuomo in that montage if you watch cnn's show last night which is anchored by chris cuomo you didn't see any coverage of andrew cuomo whatsoever. you haven't for weeks because apparently there is a chris cuomo can't cover his brother which is interesting because they say it is a conflict of
3:26 am
andrew cuomo time and time and time again appeared on that very program, they call them interviews but let's face it was a pr campaign to prop up this governor to approval rating is like 87% of new yorkers about his handling of covid-19 those numbers up and turned on their head because of the sexual harassment allegations and the nursing homes and the cover-up, 15,000 deaths, more than the death toll in 37 us states, and aid of cuomo admitting they covered up the numbers and you have to ask why did they do that, i have an answer if you want to hear it. jedediah: i want to hear it but suddenly he can't cover his brother. it is all of a sudden the pools, i can't comment, we saw how many interviews, book promotion is utterly ridiculous but i want to hear everything you have to say about that, but one other topic, a headline, an op-ed that caught our eye and
3:27 am
this is what the title is, the majority in red america, rural america, epidemic of self-censorship is threatening democracy in which he is saying is a lot of young writers are afraid to write what they think and feel because they are afraid that they are going to be come at from all sides by folks on the left, by hollywood, media and it may be a career and her for them if they express their views. what do you think of that? >> it is amazing. i spoke to one of my friends who worked at a place where their coworkers are outspoken and this person is petrified to share, she is center-right, i don't know if you could call her a republican, afraid to share anything because she says i'm afraid for my career, what may happen. if i post something on facebook to someone tell my boss and i don't get a promotion? even those in the center for that matter are petrified right now and you see it in media as well. very wise said the culture does not embrace conservative views
3:28 am
and she's not conservative, she's left of center. that is the way things are working in this business at this point and back to cuomo we talked about why did he cover up the nursing home death allegedly? because he was negotiating 783,$000 advance on a book last summer and the same time aids say the numbers were being suppressed and covered up so that advance never comes if shown that governor cuomo is the worst governor, as opposed to the best governor, you have to follow the money in these situations. jedediah: when it comes to cuomo every day you wake up and there's a new little nugget given to the public that they say hold on a second, this gets worse and worse. a lot of investigations need to happen but the media angles of all of this, great to have you with us. still ahead the senate votearom
3:29 am
3:33 am
>> in the words of brent musburger you are looking live at the senate floor where the votea's a barometer continues over the $1.9 trillion covid-19 relief bill. with an update is tennessee senator marsha blackburn. thanks for being here. i will admit votea's a barometer sounds scary to me. when you have this much money at stake in this many votes, the vote on the minimum wage was supposed to take 15 minutes, 12 hours. what is happening right now on the senate floor? >> the longest vote in history, they kept that vote (11.5 hours. the good thing is we have been able to stop the minimum wage hike. that is a very good thing for the american people and for jobs in this country and we've also been able to win a vote on the unemployment insurance so
3:34 am
that is not at 400, it is at $300. these are good positive steps. we have more votes to go. we are continuing to try to whittle money out of this so that the bill is going to be a little bit better. when you have this behemoth of a bill, 91% of this bill does not go to anything related to covid-19. it goes to arts, humanities,. state bailouts, loan forgiveness for certain categories and groups of individuals and paid leave for federal employees so they can stay home with their children who are not in school because the teachers unions will not go back to school. this is some of what you 9% of this bill goes to
3:35 am
covid-19 related spending, 9%. >> looking at the money, $1.9 trillion is a lot of money and one concern i always hear from people that i mentioned earlier is do these senators even have time to read this, to see the fine print? you are citing many components, sounds like you read it but is it realistic to assume a lot of individuals who are going to vote on this haven't read the fine print? >> what we did was to require the reading of the bill on the floor and bear in mind the third day on this piece of legislation but the day before yesterday, we had to read the bill on the floor in its entirety and as it was red, that is when the support for this started to fall away and we were able to get some of these concessions that we have gained by amending this bill
3:36 am
and working through the night and continuing to work into the afternoon today to amend this and pull some of this spending out of this bill. the more the american people know about this bill the less they like it. >> over the last few years the national basketball association has shown willingness to step into the political arena. a couple years ago they pulled their all-star game out of north carolina in protest over a transgender bill. we know they stepped into the realm of social justice politics. why are you so silent on business partners in china, that is the new term this week, china rules homosexuality was a mental illness. now many are asking where is
3:37 am
the nba on these types of human rights abuses, the sites of political issues that you've taken a particular interest as well. >> we have worked for quite appear go of time on how china is doing business with us companies and looking at different components of this with the nba we are particularly concerned because of their participation, their training facility but also because china tv has taken nba games off the air after you had some of the staff from the nba shows support through the freedom fighters, you have a new agreement between china tv and the nba so i have written that himself or who is the commissioner for the nba to ask him what is this new agreement, is he going to be censoring or silencing players, coaches or
3:38 am
staff, what is the agreement because china tv is partly owned by the chinese communist party. it is also owned by the mob -- m a family. jack mom's that is involved in this in some way and we would like to know what that participation is and we would like to know the revenue stream, with the china tv agreement and what is the licensing deal around some of these products that are made with slave laborers so there are lots of questions around what is taking place with the nba, the chinese communist party and china tv. >> good for you, let us know when you hear back, after consuming the chinese propaganda you can watch the nets and lakers and they don't care about that. we will keep watching you on
3:39 am
the senate floor and you keep watching us, thank you so much, appreciate it. jedediah: we are going to turn to those headlines, for minneapolis police officer derek sherman may face an additional murder charge, trial judge failed to follow precedent by dismissing the counts. he could be charged with third-degree murder. one of four officers facing charges following the death of george floyd, jury selection is set to begin on monday. and in a newly released interview clip megan markel says she's ready to open up about leaving the oil life behind. >> it is liberating to be able to have the right and the privilege in some ways to be able to say this. >> markel and prince harry's sitdown interview with oprah is set to air tomorrow night, cbs reports they paid $7 billion for the right to air the special. supposedly is serving as inspiration behind a new makeup line. elf is collaborating on a new
3:40 am
eyeshadow, lipgloss and facetime using popular topics as the cover for its eyeshadow palette, the kid comes in a case designed to look like a burrito bowl. those are your headlines and that is creative. don't know what to say about that. >> i would love to pretend we don't know anything about makeup but it is our line of work, we might be experts on that subject. you are not an expert on eyeshadow. i don't think you brought that yet but i don't know. rick would know about this, to bully or eyeshadow, either one. >> i'm a little hungrier than i was 5 minutes ago. not bad to get a little supposedly in the morning but whatever, good for them.

enbrel helps relieve joint pain, and helps stop permanent joint damage. plus enbrel helps skin get clearer in psoriatic arthritis. ask your doctor about enbrel, so you can get back to your true self. -play ball! enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders and allergic reactions have occurred. tell your doctor if you've been someplace where fungal infections are common. or if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if you have persistent fever, bruising, bleeding or paleness. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. visit enbrel.com to see how your joint damage could progress. enbrel. eligible patients may pay as little as $5 per month. hooh. that spin class was brutal. well you can try using the buick's massaging seat. oohh yeah, that's nice. can i use apple carplay to put some music on? sure, it's wireless. pick something we all like. ok. hold on. what's your buick's wi-fi password? buickenvision2021. oh, you should pick something stronger.

4:01 am
. me. it's so big that it's like, oh, well. and that's how i think people start to feel about it, it's too big to even talk about it, so whatever. pete: yeah, you're right. we're getting into the ts. there were naps in the cloak room and others coming in and out, apparently just showed the shot of outside the capitol, it's still going on right now, the voterama, amendment to amendment to amendment to a almost $2 trillion bill that we just dismiss at this point. we've got another topic we promised we'd talk about which is our southern border and the explosion there of the micro-crisis that's happening on a daily basis. two little nuggets new this morning of enter to people, first of all, the cdc has approved that for the child migrant shelters, they're now allowed to be at 100% capacity.
4:02 am
they were not allowed before, but cdc's saying don't worry about covid because there's such a problem with the capacity for migrants, now you can be at 100%. schools may not be open for kids in america, migrant facilities, 100 open. the biden administration wants to rename the facility, the same facility the trump used to process migrants and send them back to mexico for the remain in mexico policy, now they want to call them reception centers. reception centers is the new name. they might put a sign on it, welcome to america, process through right here, and the former president, donald trump, put out a statement yesterday in light of this and other policies blasting these new border policies. he wrote this in part, he said when i left office, we had achieved the most secure border in our country's history. under biden it will soon be worse. he has violated his oath of
4:03 am
office to uphold our constitution and enforce our laws. will, it almost feels like the only -- the biden doctrine for the border and everything else is whatever the consequences of that right now. will: it's becoming more obvious and undeniable that a what it may be is a crisis at our southern border. the crisis is that illegal immigrants can't find a concierge of checking in at the welcome center. the border is clearly out of control, and that is something kevin mccarthy intends to take up with the biden administration. listen to this. >> they cannot ignore what they ignited, a crisis at this border. weak policies from a weak administration. i've requested of the of republican leaders to sit down with this president to talk about this crisis. they have to acknowledge what they created. simply if within two months
4:04 am
their actions creating a crisis on the border which only harms the health of all americans. the dhs secretary has encouraged people to come. he says we're not saying not to come, just don't come right now. going against the actual law of america, in a world of covid right now with no testing putting them throughout this country and our schools can't even open up? jedediah: joe wild. en was not -- joe biden was not shy about thissish hsu on the campaign trail, and he won, he got elected. i don't know where the public stands on this, but i think, if anything, the reason often times the public hears these are good people, they want a better life for them and their families. that may be true, but you need to also think about the reality of what that journey looks like for these kids. the unfortunate part is there are a lot of bad people that are willing to take advantage of
4:05 am
good people who want to come over here, and what goes on with respect to these children, it's just not safe in many cases. so if we want to talk about this, we need to talk about the humanitarian crisis from these children making this journey. if you're going to incentivize people and make them feel like they're going to get here and gain industry, then we need -- entry, then we need to talk about what that process looks like, and maybe that would affect public sentiment on the issue. pete: as they wear freshly printed biden t-shirts crossing the border. the trouble, there is a process to credibly apply for asylum. this does not include rushing across the border and jumping across the line. former obama official jeh johnson said on a bad day there'd be 1,000 illegaldetentions. if you consider cha mark morgan has -- what mac morgan has said,
4:06 am
if you don't have laws and the willingness to enforce them, you don't have a country. you have to have a process by which people properly enter your country, you know who they are, why they're coming, whether they're adding something to your country and doing so legally, otherwise just saying, oh, we feel bad for the kids. of course we do. that has created an explosion at the border that we're just seeing the beginning of. will: i think most americans understand you can balance compassion and the rule of law. i think most americans understand that immigration can be handled legally are. fox news alert, you're looking live here at the senate floor where lawmakers are still voting on a coronavirus relief bill. lucas tomlinson joins us with the latest. >> reporter: good morning, guys. mitch mcconnell tried to end this thing and restart at 10 a.m., even that was defeated. the longest roll call vote in history. bernie sanders' effort to double

the minimum wage shot down, and arizona democratic senator krysten sinema gave it the thumbs down. >> ms. sinema, no. ing. >> reporter: the senate's still in session this morning. in a compromise, joe manchin reached a deal on unemployment benefits that allows the bill to move forward by lowering payments to $300 a week. our colleague, hillary vaughn, caught up with bernie sanders. quote, this country faces some of the worst crises in modern history, i think this is what the american people want. the final vote will likely take place today or even sunday. the congressional budget office says more than a third of the cash in this bill, some $700 million, will not be spent this year but next year or even years
4:08 am
later. guys? jedediah: so if the money -- thank you, lucas. so if the money is not going to be spent this year, how important and necessary is it to say it'll be spent next year -- on what? you're just going to hold it? oh, we might need it. this is supposed to be covid relief. if it's not relief that's needed now, the whole thing makes no sense. or pull out what is needed, and what would that number look like? i guarantee you it would not be $1.9 trillion. regardless, representative ilhan omar weighed in on reducing that cap on relief checks. listen to what she had to say. >> we, obviously, are now ultimately sending money to less people than the trump administration and the, you know, senate majority republicans. there are going to be about 70 million people who will get less money. this is not the promise that we
4:09 am
made, this is not what we are given the opportunity to be in the majority in the senate and have the white house. and ultimately it is, you know, a failure when we compromise ourselves out of delivering on behalf of the american people in keeping our promises. pete: there you have it, guys. it's all about how much money they can spend and how quickly. the whole idea that this is a covid bill is a farce. the name's even a farce. this is a progressive wish list rammed through with 50 votes because it's not targeted, it's not timely, and as we pointed out, it's just trillions. and they know they can do it right now, and the more they spend and they get people hooked on that money, the more they get their tentacles into them and control, this is all about a progressive agenda. ilhan omar knows that, that's why she is begging for more. will: i'll tell you a story no one is begging for more from, cancel culture. dr. seuss, mr. potatohead,
4:10 am
abraham lincoln, one element of our society after another canceled from polite conversation. many on the left are saying this isn't that big of a deal, you're freaking out, it's a distraction. i think it's the whole ball of wax, pete. i think it's one of the most important things, jedediah, because this is our culture. this is not just free expression, this is free thought. and, this ultimately is about you at home, what you're allowed to think and say. carly why not wrote about this, and here's the headline, the self-silencing majority, that's absolutely accurate. i'll quote if it now. often fringe ideas pushed by zealot ares trying to redefine what is acceptable and what should be shunned. it is a group that has control
4:11 am
over media, to be sure, but also higher education, museums, publishing houses, marketing and advertising outfits, hollywood, technology companies and increasingly corporate hr departments. there are two i lyricsliberal cultures swallowing up the country. in a world of front lawn signs for claiming the social justice bona fides of the family inside, in my america the people who keep quiet fear the liberal left. bravo to bari why white. jedediah: yeah. and i think that's true. i would just expand it to say it's growing, and it's everywhere now. so i used to feel like this was something that only happened on the left. it's not. it's creeping over right now,
4:12 am
and there's just an intolerance for disagreement, right? you have to remember this country was built on disagreement, it was built on debate, upon the idea that the you can say something, and people don't have to be immediately offended or immediately want you fired or immediately say this person has to be exiled because they disagree. the only way we're going to get anywhere in society is by having these conversations. so my hope is that what we've seen for so long in act a deem ya and the silencing, and we see it in big tech, that that doesn't creep out more and more on the right because that's not what the right is supposed to represent. so my hope is that people realize that's what that is supposed to represent and that it's protected in some way. the only people that can change any of this, that's us. all of us. will: i want to say, jedediah, there might be some on the right that don't want to hear disagreement, that might change the channel or go to a different
4:13 am
source, but the entire movement to banish people from the ability to have a thought or a conversation of disagreement, that's largely if not exclusively coming from the left. pete: you also have to control the levers of cultural influence in order to be the arbiter of what's acceptable or not. so we may have disagreements on the right, and that's understandable at any point. but the ability to shun, silence, censor and then cause you to self-censor, and that's the scariest part. don't even thought talk about if you have that internal control. kudos to bari why not, we need more of that right now. jedediah: i agree with both of you in many senses, but i do think that living and breathing and thriving and growing on the right, and that makes me sad every single day. we'll see where it goes. new york senate democrats said governor cuomo should move

>> what if another person comes forward with a with a credible allegation against the governor or two more people? at what point would he lose your support? >> any further people coming forward, i would think it would be time for him to resign. jedediah: new york senate majority leader calling on cuomo to resign, that's if another allegation is made. but three women have already accused him of sexual harassment, so shouldn't that be enough? here to react is new york
4:18 am
congresswoman claudia tenney. thanks for being here. my issue with this -- of course governor cuomo, like everyone else, deserves due process, but there's a separate set of rules when we're talking about justice kavanaugh, there's one set of rules, andrew cuomo, there's another set of rules. shouldn't there be consistency in the way we approach these things? >> yes. very disappointed that the senate majority leader thinks there's a magic number that needs to happen. there's a lot of numbers have been thrown out, human -- so this is all just a guise from what's really going on. and i'm not going to say that these sexual harassment allegations aren't serious and, as you say, the governor like everyone else is entitled to due process, but there is a different standard. justice kavanaugh, governor cuomo set his own standard,
4:19 am
justice kavanaugh should submit to a polygraph test. for eric schneiderman before he had due process, governor cuomo demanded his resignation. so i don't know if our majority leader, maybe she felt that would eric schneiderman should have resigned as well. but i don't want any of this to overshadow how serious the cover-up of the nursing home scandal is and the falsification of records which has just been revealed by a "wall street journal" article that governor cuomo's staff and governor cuomo and certainly his entire inner circle was aware of this have covered up the tragic death of nursing home residents all while he was writing a book about his great leadership during this period of time. so i do take these sexual harassment cases seriously, but
4:20 am
there is due process. but these people who died in nursing homes aren't getting their due process right now, and, in fact, the governor won an emmy for his performances on news every single day during this crisis. jedediah: congresswoman, i want to ask you about that. when we talk about the nursing home scandal and the cover-up, the one of many cover-ups that are emerging with respect to andrew cuomo, unfortunately, what is your sentiment on accountability? do you think there will be actual accountability? and i don't just mean that everyone will have the facts and know what happened, but actual accountability in terms of consequences for andrew cuomo and potentially his aides who aa cysted in this cover -- assisted in this cover-up? >> welsh this is up to leticia james who is our attorney general, and also we have asked for an investigation by the department of justice as well as the inspector general to look into the reasons why governor cuomo installed this policy on march a 25th and why now all
4:21 am
this was covered up, what was the reason that this happened and why would the governor be -- and right now one of the positive aspects of this is that there are democrats that are coming out to hold the governor accountable. so i'm looking to potentially come forward with a criminal referral, a letter to the doj and the inspector general's office again. i did one earlier in april and may of last year. it's time to revisit this to see what else is happening. i hope the democrat attorney general does hold him accountable, and i think she's thinking about doing that. we also need the biden administration to do the same. we have to have one standard for everyone whether you're the president of the united states, the governor of new york or an average citizen. jedediah: i think the accountability moving in the right direction. i do think democrats and republicans can be on the same page on this in terms of getting that accountability.

think, therefore, we need the covid a job creation roll, and i think it gets even better in the spring which is, what, two or three weeks away. let's be clear, we're on this roll because some states are opening up, we're vaccinating two million people a day, and if we could get the schools to reopen to in-person learning, we would expand the economy even more, things would look even better. but one second, just let me go back into that jobs report that we got. 355,000 jobs in the hospitality industry opened up, that was just in february. that's people going back to work as states open up. that's going to improve. more states will open up, and over 3.5 million people who are still out of work in the hospitality business, they're still out, 3.5 million, they're going to come back as these job openings occurrings, as states

4:45 am
medical contributor dr. nicole saphier. thanks so much for being here. a friend sent me that graph, i checked it myself. this is unbelievable dramatic drop in deaths which is exactly what we want to see. does this mean we're that much closer getting back to what we would consider normal? >> well, sure, pete. and we have to be careful when we hook at that graph because the reporting covid deaths, sometimes they can lag. while those numbers may go up a little bit, the overall trend is absolutely, yes, they're decreasing. there have been two main methods in terms of the vaccination rollout. governor desantis wants it on age-based, vulnerability-based as opposed to just about every other state. you can either directly protect all of those who are vulnerable to covid-19, those being the elderly, or you can indirectly protect them by vaccinating those that are highest risk for
4:46 am
transmission. interestingly, an article out of science magazine just came out showing they looked at model els, and they said if you're going to do that direct method where you protect those most vulnerable the way governor desantis is doing, you do it when the transmission levels are higher and the supply of vaccines are limited. sounds like our exact situation right now. the other method you're actually going to vaccinate those who are higher risk of transmitting should only be done when transmission levels are exceedingly low and you have ample supply of a vaccine. so i would say governor desantis and a few other governors are following the science more than i any other states and maybe even the federal government. as we know, about 96% of all deaths with covid-19 occur in those age 50 and above. we need to protect the vulnerable. i am a huge advocate for focusing on protecting the vulnerable while everyone gets back to a level of normalcy. we're getting there with our
4:47 am
immunity, and luckily we are seeing cases, hospitalizations and deaths go down all around the country. pete: absolutely. that graphic is a massive and steep drop. it's exactly the kind of thing we hoped we would see through vaccinations, and you're taking the right approach in florida, as you said. look at that, that's as sharp a decline as you can ask for. i've got to ask a second doing as well. vaccinated americans are waiting for official guidelines from the cdc. the new rules, they say, people will still need to wear masks and not travel. here's the cdc director. listen to this. >> cdc is working to assure that the communication we release op on this guidance are clear and that the american public can act on them. i know the idea of relaxing mask wearing and get back to everyday activities is appealing, but we're not there yet. we have seen this movie before. pete: so we may not be there yet, doctor, i get that. but if the idea of herd immunity
4:48 am
and vaccination and all those things coming together in a couple of months to a point where we can get back to normal, are they really going to tell us you still have to wear the mask, you still have to socially distance, you still shouldn't travel? isn't the point of all this to get to the point where we can do all of those things? >> it's interesting, pete, because this is one of the times where they're actually waiting for hard data showing once you're vaccinated, that you're immune, you're no longer able to transmit the violence despite the fact that we have evidence that your likelihood of transmitting the virus is exceedingly low if vaccinated. they continue to impose these restrictions on people who get vaccinated, people are going to stop getting vaccinated. the truth is, yes, the vulnerable should be practicing masking. no one is telling you you cannot wear a mask, however, once most of the population has immunity, it is time to reduce a lot of
4:49 am
these mandates, restrictions and, again, self-selective masking and distancing is always an option. pete: so true. no one's telling you you can't wear a mask if you want to. i love the idea of some deduck tiff reasoning -- deductive reasoning. doctor, thank you so much for breaking it down for us, we appreciate it. still ahead, ebay caving to cancel culture, pulling dr. seuss books off their site because of, quote, offensive material. but somehow you can still buy a copy of "mein kampf" or books written by louis farrakhan. a closer look at the double standard coming up next. is now a good time for a flare-up? enough, crohn's! for adults with moderate to severe crohn's or ulcerative colitis... stelara® can provide relief and is the only approved medication to reduce inflammation on and below the surface of the intestine in uc. you, getting on that flight? back off, uc! stelara® may increase your risk of infections,

4:53 am
many, have caved to the cancel culture. the once-childhood classic dr. seuss books are accused of having racial undertones. what about copies of "mein kampf" and louis farrakhan's books which are still being sold on ebay today? let's bring in brad meltzer to weigh in. good morning, brad. i think if i really pushed you and i said where does this all end, where is the point of insanity, you'd have trouble findinit the threshold is for everyone on when cancel culture ends. >> thank you, will. you know, this is where i really, really completely agree with you. the scariest part, listen, i grew up on dr. seuss. i'm a children's book writer today arguably because it is the love of books he instilled in me and so many millions of others, and i think what makes me so so sad is we're at a point in society where everyone's all good or all bad, right? the reason i write my heroes
4:54 am
books is to show people we're all complicated. dr. seuss did amazing things. also some of his drawings do play on stereotypes, but if we constantly are just fighting and hating each other, we're getting nowhere fast. will: it's even more than that, brad, i would say. somehow building up your own sense of self-worth, your own sense of virtue on being better than what happened yesterday. so even if there are some problematic undertones you just referenced when it comes to dr. seuss, what does that do for anyone to sort of dunk on that today? by the way, here's what ebay said to a seller of a dr. seuss, we had to the remove your listing because it didn't follow our offensive material policy. but, brad, this today is up for salen on ebay, these, as i mentioned in the intro, "mein kampf," the communist manifesto, seven different speeches by minister louis farrakhan.
4:55 am
so draw the line for me here, brad. >> listen, i can tell you, one, if you're buying "mein kampf" to study history and see how someone who is an egomaniac swindlings lots of brains, that's an historical argument that's worth doing it. if you're starting a new nazi party, i've got a problem. the problem is that children learn a lot from books, and this is a hard one. i know we want to make it real easy, but the it's hard. as a children's book author, one of the things i do is try to show people, you want to inspire kids, you've got to show them some kindness, some good. you can't just show everyone is bad. that's just not going to get the result we want. will: i totally agree with that the, teaching kids to find self-worth outside of canceling others or other products. by the way, those books you're talking about, your children's book which focus on kindness, you have two new ones out. tell us about those two books. >> yeah, thank you, will. so the newest one is called a
4:56 am
new day. i dreamt it, it's about what happens when sunday quits and the rest of the days of week have tryouts for a new day. so they have fun day where every day is fun, run day, everyone run real fast. no. let's have bun day, everyone wears princess leia buns. basically, it all goes until a little girl at the end comes to sunday with a potted plant and says what's a potted plant, tree day? the what's the day. and the little girl says, no, i just want to say thank you. i want you to have a nice day. she realizes that if you put a little kindness into the world, every day can be a new day. i want my daughter and my sons to have that lesson. we need that lesson today. will: that's a great lesson. a new day. brad meltzer, thanks so much for weighing in today. >> thank you. will: you bet. all right, coming up, listen to

5:00 am
to help me keep moving. and it can help you too. feel the joy of movement with voltaren. jedediah: we begin this hour of fox & friends weekend with a fox news alert. pete: this is a live look at the senate floor, it's still going. lawmakers still voting, talking, chatting, meandering, on the covid relief bill. brian: can't remember the last time i pulled an all-nighter but there's your congressional representatives doing just that. lucas tomlinson is live in washington with the latest. reporter: good morning, will. mitch mcconnell tried to end this thing and pick it up at 10 a.m. this morning but even that motion was defeated. the senate up all night voting on amendments of the nearly $2 trillion relief bill the longest roll call vote in history. bernie sanders effort to double the minimum wage to $15 was shot
5:01 am
down and arizona democrat senator give it a big thumbs down. >> ms. cinema, no. reporter: the senate is still in session this morning in a compromise with fellow democrats joe manchin reached a deal on unemployment benefits that allows the bill to move forward by lowering the payments. our colleague hillary vaughn caught up with bernie sanders to ask if he was exploiting the crisis of the pandemic to raise the minimum wage and sanders replied, "this country faces some of the worst crisis we've experienced in modern history in this country. i don't think we are exploiting anything. i think this is what the american people want. " the final vote will likely take place later today and the congressional budget office says more than a third of the cash in this bill some $700 billion will not be spent this year, and instead next year , or even years later, guys pete: [laughter] jedediah: thank you, lucas. oh, and there you have it. $1.9 trillion, big number, lots
5:02 am
of zeros and guys don't worry. you know, even though it's supposed to be for an emergency relief if they don't use it this year or next year or the year after that maybe somewhere down the road they will use it but it's really really urgent that we get it there today. pete: it's incredible. i'd love if we could show that video again of kristen send it majority of arizona giving a thumbs down and it was a thumbs down with enthusiasm and of this is what i think of your bill and she's a democrat. i mean, look at that. that was -- will: she got her knees into it. pete: big time and there are moderate democrats out there saying you've lost your mind with this. stop $2 trillion, much of which has nothing to do with covid and a i mentioned earlier, will a little comparison to obamacare which is the biggest bill we've seen fundamentally transforming our economy. that wasn't even a trillion dollar bill over 10 years. ten years ago, now we're talking about 2 trillion voting all
5:03 am
night and the one tweak that gets made is it's not 400 supplement all a month in unemployment it's 300 so it's those tiny concessions you get in the middle of the night but ultimately, because the democrats have the votes they are going to ram this 2 trillion through and it is a progressive wish list and they may take a while but they are going to get it, will. will: they are going to ram it through pete and leave many questions unanswered like the one jedediah asked about when will the money be blackburn was on with us a little bit earlier and she said 9% goes to actual covid relief so what's the other 91% going to and i've asked the question throughout the morning isn't this in the end somewhat of a disincentive to getting people back to work? now listen to this because here is bernie sanders, essentially having to address all of those questions in one sound bite. watch. >> the republicans argue you're exploiting a relief bill to get permanent policy through. >> well, i think that's
5:04 am
inaccurate. i think this country is facing some of the worst crisis we've ever experienced in modern history of this country. i don't think we're exploiting anything. i think it's just what the american people want and you should know this bill is extreme ly popular with democrats , with republicans and with independence. reporter: republicans say under the relief conditions now some people are making more unemployed than they are on-the-job. how do you get people back on-the-job if they're making more? >> believe me, opening businesses people want to work. in this country if there's anything you could say about american workers they aren't lazy and want to get back to work. jedediah: and you know, i think he's being very honest, as he typically is, about how he feels i think bernie sanders' world view is that essentially, money trickling down from government is the best way to fix all wounds to fix all problems. if that were not the priority then what you'd see is the opposite, the country reopening first and then finding out where additional need was
5:05 am
actually needed and allocating those funds. it's not going that way it's going the other way around for a reason, but now we'll head to another fox news alert because new york governor andrew cuomo was facing mountain pressure to design and he's now in two scandals. pete: his office telling staffer s to keep all relevant documents that could be part of the attorney general's investigation into claims of sexual harassment and this as one accuser says cuomo did not take sexual harassment training himself, that he required for all state employee s, and businesses in the state and instead, had one of his female aids complete it for him. >> in 2019, he did not take the sexual harassment training. >> how do you know that? >> i was there. i heard stephanie say i can't believe i'm doing this for you. >> bloomberg reports two female staffers left his office in wake of the scandal. this follows bombshell reports that cuomo's team covered up the
5:06 am
true nursing home death toll absolutely stunning. the swirl of controversy increasing picking up momentum around andrew cuomo. now, this is, of course, in contrast to the media treatment he received throughout the year, throughout the pandemic. let's take a quick refresher course in that treatment. >> it's just so clear, day in and day out that governor cuomo is clearly living in a totally different reality, the actual one, than the president of the united states. >> governor cuomo, i think, is one of the heros on the frontlines. >> a lot of people andrew cuomo has become the leader of the democratic party. >> with all of this that you're getting for doing your job are you thinking about running for president? >> real leadership of the kind the president of the united states should have provided to the american people throughout this crisis and has not. >> you spoke to national guard troops today in a stirring speech that if i wasn't listen ing carefully i thought
5:07 am
you were sending soldiers off to war. >> andrew cuomo who has a daily television show now is the shadow president. >> i'm wowed by what you did and more importantly i'm wowed by how you did it. will: let's be clear, jedediah, about what we just watched. that wasn't just journalistic malpractice and fawning over someone who didn't deserve it. that was largely lies being told when now the truth is revealed. but what it also was, and this is important, because we have played a clip earlier from cuomo's staffer previous staffer , that was empowering. that gave cuomo the sense that he was untouchable through many of these scandals. the media was essentially aiding and a betting governor cuomo. jedediah: yeah, he felt if there were, in fact, a coverup, which he knew there was he be backed up and this is typical media behavior that where they were saying essentially, he is on our team. this is one of the good guys, he's with us so he's got to do a good job, and even if he doesn't , it probably won't be so bad that we can't cover it up for him, and now you see a lot
5:08 am
of silence from media representatives they don't know what to say because they are on tape, as you just saw, saying all these things about him and now its been that he's responsible for a massive cover up, one is still being investigated so it remains to be seen, but this coverup with respect to nursing homes has bipartisan attack, people coming out on both sides saying this is unbelievable. so you see a lot of silence from media and we spoke with representative claudia tenney earlier who talked about cuomo and the potential accountability for both scandals and where she thinks that's going to fall. listen to what she had to say. >> i don't want any of this to overshadow how serious the cover discuss of the nursing home scandal is and the falsification of records which has just been revealed by a wall street journal article that governor cuomo's staff and governor cuomo and his entire inner circle is aware of this have covered up the tragic death of nursing home residents and his failed policy all while he was writing a book about his great leadership
5:09 am
during this period of time, so, i do take these sexual harassment cases seriously, but there is due process, but these people who died in nursing homes aren't getting their due process right now. pete: they certainly aren't, great point. he was stripped of his emergency powers by the state legislature that is controlled by democrats at least going forward. not as much as republicans wanted, and then of course he never took the sexual harassment training that he was supposed to , big surprise. would have helped him contrast, we don't have to play the clips because we've seen them here as well. contrast cuomo and how he was held up with the media and how the media absolutely went after guys like governor ron desantis in florida and said hey, the approach you're taking is going to get people killed how dare you be open and how dare you let people make those decisions. we don't even need to play the tape because we don't have enough time but the vindication comes later on when the data actually comes out economically, with schools, but also with deaths and with vaccinations and governor ron desantis has taken
5:10 am
the priority and said we're going to vaccinate seniors. by far the most vulnerable to death and that approach is showing a great return, which we should all be thankful for. here are state data from florida of covid deaths, from february 4 to march 4, so over a month look at that. florida residents who have died from covid-19 gone from, everyone is too much but you start at 175 a day in february, down to two, almost down to nothing and the other chart to look at there is how many people have been vaccinated in florida and here are the numbers from february 4. it was almost 500,000 on february 4 and it's nearing 2 million, so, will, when you look at those , that's the path way out of covid-19. focus on the vulnerable, folks. you know people are still going to be infected but if you are getting the deaths down to near zero we can go back to our lives and that's called following the science. will: pete, that data and that
5:11 am
timeline tracks specifically with ron desantis opening up his state. he did before those numbers started coming in but i was in florida just a few weeks ago. i did this show with both of you from florida during the super bowl, which occurred during that timeline, and what was everybody saying? what were the critics saying? another example of ron desantis negligence. they said it be a super spreader exactly right and they said those numbers would go up and yet look here at an open state in florida where the numbers are going down. just remember that. when you hear the same thing, right now, that same criticism being leveled against governor greg abbott in texas. open up the state, the predictions are dire and yet over and over we see that governors that handled this correctly, jedediah, have the science behind them. jedediah: yeah, and you've also seen a lot of mention with florida people saying well, florida is different because the weather is really nice and they are able to do a lot of stuff outdoors. fair point, however look over at california. the weathers really nice in california a lot. they are capable of doing things outdoors, they weren't allowed
5:12 am
to everyone was really shutdown, and yet the numbers in california are terrible. so, it was really at this point, health officials, you know, politicians should really step back and take a look at what has worked, what has not worked and what has been the cost and consequence of a lot of these things in an effort to play politics with this game, which should have never happened. i think florida really speaks volumes as do other states and many more that will open up soon and we'll be able to look at the stats on them as well but we'll turn to some headlines for you now this hour. black lives matter's most prominent chapter launches a campaign to end police unions. blm los angeles holding a rally across the street from a union headquarters that represents thousands of lapd officers and they held signs reading "police associations are organized crime and abolish police. " the group says it will hold weekly protests to "topple police associations. " >> stadiums and theme parks in the golden state will be able to reopen on april 1. revised covid-19 guidelines will allow theme parks in the state's
5:13 am
most restricted red tier to open at 15% capacity. in orange and yellow tier counties they will be able to operate at 25 and 35% capacity however industry experts warn theme parks will still not be able to make profit at 15%. >> and in the midst of the overnight senate vote-o-rama , new york national guard member vincent scalise takes a photo with all 100 senators. oregon democrat jeff markley posing for the last picture in the collection. scalise has been stationed at the capitol since the january riot. and those are your headlines. pete? pete: i wish i could say i like that, my goodness, you're there so long and you get time to take a picture with all 100 senators. all right up next, biden's immigration crisis extending beyond the border. the nation's largest bus company , now demanding migrant passengers prove they're covid free before boarding.

jedediah: after brownville texas saw 100 migrants test positive for covid-19 as they waited to enter the united states, one bus company is insisting that any migrants who ride must be covid- free, in a letter to the department of homeland security, greyhound ceo david leach writes , "it is critical to public safety that i.c.e. provide 100% assurance that no one released that can be reasonably expected to ride a greyhound bus be infected with covid-19. " here to react is fox news contributor and retired acting i.c.e. director tom homan. tom thanks for being with us this morning. what do you make of the letter from the greyhound ceo? >> first of all i want to make it clear i'm no big fan of
5:18 am
greyhound because they pushback on border patrol doing immigration checks on their buses within 100 miles of the border which is totally illegal but besides that, they have the right to demand this. as a matter of fact america has the right to demand the same things as you said we know over 100 illegal aliens has billion an released that tested positive for covid and the local community is checking and brownsville, texas 6.2% positive rate, and cameron county a 13.8 positive rate. these percentages would have shutdown new york where you're currently at but the biden administration is choosing to release them into our communities. it's in competence. jedediah: so, tom, do you anticipate that the department of homeland security will be compliant with this and they will successfully be able to make sure that covid-19 doesn't spread as a result of migrants coming over and being incentivized to come over? >> i'm not confident about this administration doing anything that's right when it comes to immigration enforcement or the safety and security of
5:19 am
this country but i will say they have to lean toward taking covid tests but the 108 they already released, i.c.e. had detention capability. they could have detained them in i.c.e. family residential center that had doctors, nurses, children's doctors, and they had keeping people cop tabling us disease separate from other people. they had the capability to detain these people and protect our public health, but this administration is all about how quick we can release them. pete said earlier they are changing these detention centers to reception centers. they are actually welcoming centers because they get them in there quickly, they don't test them, they release them and then they release them on a nta, notice to appear, so as soon as they get to their destination they qualify for work authorization so not only are they pushing back against our public health crisis having covid being released, they are competing for the same jobs that americans are competing for right now with the unemployment crisis. this is total in competence by
5:20 am
this administration. jedediah: yeah and you know, tom it's heartbreaking because you see those images of kids and all you can think about is the humanitarian crisis that everyone knows exists of the travel to get here that a lot of these kids endure, the violence and the horrible consequences that ensue that needs to be talked about more thank you for being with us this morning as always. >> thanks for having me. jedediah: straight ahead, one high school baseball team suspended after taking this mask less photo and players say the move is completely out of left field. one varsity player and parents sound off, that's next. we made usaa insurance for members like martin. an air force veteran made of doing what's right, not what's easy. so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. that's how you do it right. usaa insurance is made just the way martin's family needs it with hassle-free claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. because doing right by our members, that's what's right. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. ♪ usaa ♪

inside. they found the dog by following his wimpering and grabbed the cat before it ran down to the basement. the family and their pets are thankfully all okay. >> and the man falls head first down a 60-foot sinkhole while riding his bike across the english countryside. officials say the ground opened up swallowing the farmer and rescue crews found him sitting at the bottom of the hole and he was flown to the hospital and his condition is unclear at this time. wow. will? will: sinkholes, like a land shark. you never know when it's going to get you. how about never knowing when it's going to get you, this story will get you as it got high school baseball players in california. they are crying foul after being suspended over this photo right here, where they are not wearing masks. the picture was taken as part of a decade-long tradition at california's john burrows high school where seniors take a photo for the yearbook and now those eight seniors are being sidelined for two weeks and the entire varsity team is suspended for one week.
5:25 am
joining me now is a senior team member, rory freck and his mom jodie who took the photo along with sherry whose son is also a senior on that team. thank you for being here, this is crazy, man. so you've received the suspension, which is two weeks but as i understand it, this is sort of not what the district wanted to do anyway they wanted to cancel the entire season is that right? >> that's correct. they were definitely in talks of canceling the whole season over that picture, but our vice president of athletics and our coach really fought for us and kept the season alive basically. >> jodie how do you explain this reaction? i think a reaction that many sane people watching might describe as an overreaction. how do you describe or understand or explain this reaction by the school district and superintendent? >> well for me to explain i don't quite understand, because the timeline on this , the
5:26 am
picture was taken in january , and we posted it on a social media page. i was asked to take it down it was just a couple days after that, and the boys, the whole baseball program for punishment, because of these pictures, had to do a covid protocol lesson the beginning of february, and so that was supposed to be the punishment and so when we got the word last week, which was on a mandatory zoom call that they are all going to be suspended it was a second disciplinary action, and so i don't understand it. will: here is what for what it's worth that superintendent is saying, sent this statement into fox & friends. we delayed the start of practice one week so they could review the safety and health guidelines i look forward to them starting safely on monday, but sherry your son, tanner, was also a senior on that squad, is a senior on that squad. as i understand it, every single one of those seniors had the
5:27 am
permission of their parents to get together and take this picture. is that right? >> yes, absolutely. will: so this is a school district telling you as a parent i guess your decisions are not good enough. >> right, right. we were just trying to do right by the boys and get their picture in the yearbook, something that's been done for , you know, decades, and they all got punished for it. will: it's absolutely stunning. how do you, sherry, explain this type of reaction from the district? >> it's disgusting. i think it's so unnecessary. they shed, you know, like jo dee said, they already did the protocol over a month ago and now he's saying we're delayed because they have to go through the protocol again but they aren't going through the protocol again. they had already done it back in february, so for him to come and say oh, we're going to, you know , suspend them for a week so they can go over it, he's just lying, out and out. that's all i have to say.
5:28 am
it's so wrong. it's an abuse of power. will: an abuse of power. rory, i keep coming back to the desired punishment that the district and the superintendent wanted to have in the first place which was to cancel your entire season , after everything you've been through this year by the way from the state of california and i just wonder what's behind this type of, as sherry just described, abuse of power, rory. >> i just look at it as they are trying to make an example out of us, that's what i think they are doing. there's a lot of parents that were calling matt hill, asking what our punishment was going to be but they just don't seem to understand that we've been doing this for a whole year now. we've been locked down for a year. i haven't been in school for the year mark now. people say that senior year and juniors those are like the best days or the best years of your life. i can't relate because i haven't had that, so the parents are just trying to return us to a
5:29 am
sense of normalcy, and that was met by a bunch of uproar, so it's just, it sucks. will: what a story, well look you are going to have, it appears, a senior baseball season here in a couple of weeks we wish you the best of luck and hope it establishes or takes some steps towards that year you're supposed to have as a senior in high school. best of luck, rory, thank you for being with us this morning. no problem, thank you. will: coming up a former new york times writer is sounding an alarm on cancel culture, rob smith says we're approaching a new era of canceling cancel culture. he's on deck. >> ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪♪ the thing about freedom is... freedom has no limits. there's no such thing as too many adventures...

pete: former new york times opinion writer barry weiss is warning against the rise of cancel culture in a new op-ed saying young writers are self- censoring, writing, "today 's taboos are often fringe ideas trying to redefine what is acceptable and what should be shunned. it's a group that has control of nearly all of the institutions that produce american cultural and intellectual life. " jedediah: here to react is rob smith, host of the rob smith is
5:34 am
problematic podcast, rob thanks for being with us this morning, so what do we do about this time that we're in and this country, where so many people are afraid to speak. you see barry referencing young writers and folks on the right feel that big tech and hollywood and academia are against them and a lot of people in the center are starting to feel like they can't speak because no one likes them and they get heat from the right and heat from the left. how do we get back to a place of real and thoughtful conversation >> well, you get back to that place by having more speech. look, when i came out of the republican a couple of years ago i was canceled by the left because i'm a black gay guy that doesn't think in ways they see fit so i lost friends, lost job opportunities, the whole thing. what i find interesting about what's happening right now, what bari is speaking about is that young writers are afraid to use their voices because they feel like those voices are not liberal enough. that's very interesting to me, but i think that we're in a really good place to fight this because we have named it so we call it cancel culture now.
5:35 am
the only way to cancel cancel culture, is to have more speech as a podcast like you mentioned rob smith is problematic where i talk about these problematic controversial issues and this is something that could not have existed five years ago so i'll be positive and think we are chipping away at cancel culture, we just have to keep on going and have to give more voices the sort of necessity and the need to put their voices out there, and to know those voices will be heard. pete: rob, i hope you're right and i hope we are in the process of canceling cancel culture because its been exposed and they are overplaying their hand, but bari also points out the left controls almost every organ of culture from hr boardrooms to media to hollywood, everything. she laid out the best list i've ever heard in this op-ed. if you don't control any of the avenues through which speech occurs, how do you cancel cancel culture? is it only their own undoing? >> well it's going to be woke
5:36 am
ness is the undoing of the left first of all so that is a very good point. they are going to get too far woken and they always eat themselves. this is what the left does, but what i find very interesting right now, is that conservatives and centrists and other voices that are not on the far left are actually creating our own opportunities to do this. you have ben shapiro's outlet, the daily wire, that has now picked up gina carano, so they are doing projects with her after she's been canceled by the left so the only way to really combat that is to create our own opportunities, to create our own lanes with our own voices and to create our own entertainment. will: you know, i don't want to be the grinch, rob. i don't want to write on positive it but let me just pick-up this for one more moment i do disagree with jedediah. i think many voices are being shouted down in disagreement but i think there is a unilateral cancellation going on coming from the left and that's what ba ri is talking about. pete pointed out they own every institution in the country including corporate america, and that gives them the power to
5:37 am
make things disappear. now, here is the mind set of corporate america, rob. i'll put this to you. here is robin deangelo, she is the writer of white fragility, and she's now giving speeches and she gave a 7,000 dollars, 90 minute virtual event at purdue university, another institution controlled by this ideology. so to pete's point, how do you pushback if they control every lever, every corporate boardroom , that controls who gets a voice and who gets canceled? >> first of all, stop giving your money to these universities and colleges first of all. you have to do that, second of all, get more conservative representation in these colleges and universities, and about robin deangelo the interesting thing to me about this is you have a white liberal selling her white liberal guilt to other white liberals at $7,000 for 90 minutes. will: that's good.
5:38 am
>> that even al sharpton would have loved that is a racket so hats off to robin deangelo but the thing about it is is that this is happening at purdue university. it costs $100,000 for even in- state tuition for a four-year degree at purdue university. honestly tuition is tweet that out of state sew what you have to do is stop giving money to these colleges and universities and get conservatives or republicans represented on the boards. jedediah: yeah, you know, rob whether or not college is actually worth it given the prices and what we know about what's actually go on inside those classrooms that's a whole other topic we could talk about with you all day, but thanks for being here and people don't forget, rob smith, he is problematic so check out his podcast.

5:48 am
difficult ones preceding it. yours was even more dramatic than most of that war but what is the legacy of the gulf war as you think back on this 30 years? >> you know, i think it's one of the things that kind of brought the country together. i think it really united the country behind the common cause. not everybody agreed with the war but i think they were really behind the military or unlike vietnam, which we learned some hard lessons from that conflict, my father served in vietnam, but it was really nice to see the country come together and focus on the military, on the service members, so it also gave our military a lot of confidence in the capabilities that we had, and how we could prosecute and execute the war. pete: dale, you were tortured for a month by saddam's forces. what kind of appreciation did that bring you for freedom when you saw how deprived dictator ships can be?

5:54 am
won five of the last 14 races, joey has won two of the last four and ryan blaney runs great at that track and then he's know the having a very good season, but he ran second at both races last year so you just have to look at team penske as a whole. will: what about chase elliott, jamie he's last year's big winner and i've seen some reports people are writing him off at least for this race right here. what's going on with chase elliott? >> oh, no i don't think you can ever count out chase elliott, clearly, the most popular driver in the series last year's champion and it seems like the nine car has some ups and downs but chase elliott is really good an mile and a half las vegas is one of those tracks so i don't think you can ever count him out. will: so look, i primarily in my past both as a spectator as a comentator have focused on football. i have love for every sport but home field advantage is a real thing in football. is home track a real thing? i mentioned the bushes consider
5:55 am
this their home track. is that a real thing in nascar? >> so that's a great question, and here is why. kurt busch won the race there last year; however his career, it's his worst track in the series. worst average finish. his brother kyle won there back in 2009 but i think those guys enjoy going there because you get to go back home, they see old friends and go to the old restaurants they like to, hang out in vegas, but overall, that has not been a great track for those guys so i don't think it's the same advantage that you see in football. will: all right so there we go. you gave us some good names there's a lot of names to watch i feel like, on this race tomorrow here is your preview, to get us setup. jamie thanks so much for joining us. thank you, guys. will: here is what you do with the information jamie just gave you. you go to the fox bet super 6 app, for your chance to win $10,000, from nascar great clint boyar. just pick six outcomes in stage two of tomorrow's race and winners will be announced in stage three. st play, so watch,

an agreement to advance the $1.9 trillion package and prepared, ready for this , jedediah, a final vote. jedediah: senate majority leader chuck schumer says there are 14 amendments left. it's expected to wrap up this morning, with senators possibly voting from their desks we're going to have a live report from lucas tomlinson in just a few moments on that. welcome, everyone, to this final hour of fox & friends weekend and as we've been talking about all morning that is a very large number, $1.9 trillion, remains to be seen the specifics as to where these funds will be allocated and as we've been saying, pete, all morning, they're saying well do you know what? oftentimes these funds may not be used today. maybe not tomorrow, maybe not next year, soon they will be saying oh, maybe a decade later but ultimately, they are justify ing the need for these funds despite the fact that a vast majority of the country still remains unopened completely at 100% capacity. we're lucky if we get 50% capacity in many areas. pete: yeah, none of it addresses the actual thing that's needed which is openings. it's trillions upon trillions
6:01 am
printing more money. it's the sixth covid bill. they call it a covid relief bill but it's full of left wing nonsense and we'll get lucas tomlinson on where we are right now but i want to go to the border a big story we've been covering all morning. there are 4,000 apprehensions at the border which jeh johnson during the obama administration said 1,000 was a huge day so we're looking at a massive swell on the southern border that's undeniable, and joe biden, their administration, and thought rhetoric has created a magnet effect. hey, we want you to come, just not yet. well that says come on over, whether we're ready or not. two new developments as it pertains to the border this morning. first of all the cdc is saying that the child facilities there can now open at 100% even theophano don't have covid under control, so science not important necessarily if you don't have enough space for kids coming unaccompanied because you created the christ us at the border and number two the facilities used to process migrants in the past under the
6:02 am
trump adminitration that ultimately listened to their asylum claims and often sent them back to mexico for the remain in mexico policy to see whether their claim was valid or not they are now changing the name of those , guys, acutely and it's something different if you magically change the name and in this case it really is. they are calling them now reception centers. welcome to america, here is your reception center. indicative of the way the biden administration looks at immigration, illegal immigration the former president, donald trump, chimed in on this yesterday, on these new border policies from joe biden and this is what he wrote. he said when i left office, we had achieved the most secure border in our country's history under biden it will soon be worse, more dangerous and more out of control than ever before. he has violated his oath of office to uphold our constitution, and enforce our laws. i think the one maxim, will, that's at play here is if donald trump did it it must have been wrong so we'll do the opposite regardless of what consequences we get. in addition to the fact that we
6:03 am
all know that the left wing view is an open border view, no human can be illegal, so you're seeing a flood at the border and, will, they are just renaming things so everyone is welcome. will: there's an old maxim that a conservative is just a liberal mugged by reality. the goal might be to do everything in opposite of donald trump, the goal may be to undo everything donald trump did, but then reality hits, and the best you can do is to simply, well, wrap it in a different piece of wrapping paper, a different package. call it a reception center. no more kids in cages. it's detention centers. call it something different, and when you can't accomplish doing something different, you can at least pretend you are doing so. pete, you spoke to illegal u.s. immigrant, a little bit earlier, and again he came here through the legal process and now he wants to see those same laws he abided by enforced when it comes to immigration. >> the influx of people come in to the san diego region and
6:04 am
other parts of the united states , they're also changing what the labor pool looks like, and they are going to be taking jobs from folks that are looking for jobs, and so it's not just a single issue. it gets very complex when the tent abilities reach out to a lot of different aspects of our lives in the united states so it's very important that people take the time to do it the right way that's how i was taught growing up and most people that came here legally came here because we want to see law and order. jedediah: yeah and i anticipate that we're going to hear a lot from people who followed the process. the process is hard. it takes time and it requires a lot of patience, and we know that there are a lot of people who are eager to get to this country for many reasons, for economic opportunities, some could be fleeing circumstances in their own countries that they don't want their children to be raised there for one reason or another economic or otherwise, but there is a process and the reason is that what you see right now is people being
6:05 am
incentivized to come illegally and look you'll see these areas being flooded. there are concerns about covid-19 that are going to happen right now, and there's going to be a question of what do we do now that joe biden did cut out and was very blunt about it saying yes, come, we invite you. what now? that is the question on everyone 's mind. what now? we're going to have more on that am coming up in the next hour but first we'll turn to lucas tomlinson who as we said is in washington with the latest on this covid relief. lucas what is the latest on this $1.9 trillion, that's a big number, lucas. reporter: it sure is, good morning, guys well most of us were sleeping the senate voting on a laundry list of amendments of the nearly $2 trillion relief bill. the longest roll call vote in history. senator bernie sanders tried to squeeze in his plan to raise the minimum wage. >> to my mind, the american people in poll after poll and state after state understand that we have got to raise that minimum wage to a living wage of $15 an hour and i intend to do
6:06 am
everything that i can to make that happen. reporter: that, after failed when fellow democrats including arizona senator voted against it . sanders later denied he was trying to exploit the covid relief bill to do it and a compromise with fellow democrats joe manchin reached a deal on unemployment benefits that allows the bill to move forward by lowering payments to $300 per week but extending them through september 6. mitch mcconnell says only 9% of this massive bill was covid- related only 1% for vaccines on twitter mitch mcconnell called the bill a parade of unrelated policies that some left wing economists say are badly-targeted. the final vote will likely take place in the next few hours and congressional budget office says more than one-third of the cash in this massive bill some $700 billion will not be spent this year, but instead, next year, or even years after that. will, jed, pete? pete: oh, year upon year upon

year, lucas thank you so much. jedediah: [laughter] pete: if we could put that clip up again, we talked about it last hour, will, you said she put her legs into it. you're right. this is kiersten cinema's body language speaking for a lot of americans she's a democrat saying i see what you're trying to do with this covid relief bill with the minimum wage i'm thumbs down on that it's full of pork and it doesn't address the immediate needs it's not timely meaning it will go for years, it's not targeted which means it's not on covid re life it's just trillions, and we talked to stuart "varney", go ahead, will. will: if we're going to indulge every detail of her "no" vote there it's not just getting her knees into it she's got her backpack, ready to go, her card key or something in her hand, she's done, she's out. pete: [laughter] she's done, she is boom! right there. i'll see you. jedediah: [laughter] pete: and so, but they are still voting, still talking right now about advancing it looks like this bill will pass ultimately looks like they do have the votes and we asked stuart
6:08 am
"varney" about the impact of a bill like this earlier and here is what he had to say. stuart: the way things are going we're going to get $300 per week emergency unemployment checks through september 6, and we're going to get $1,400 checks for those people making less than $75,000 a year. it will help, to some degree. it will help the economy, because you are pumping more money into the economy, but it's going to be a disincentive for some people to go back to work. there is an element of disincentive here, into this $1.9 trillion covid relief bill but i don't believe it's enough to keep sufficient number of people out of the workforce to stop this jobs rolling economy going forward. jedediah: yeah it's a band aid. one of several band aids which isn't going to be a real help if people can't go to work because ultimately that's the fix, right they want to go to work, they want to open their businesses they want to make their own money. they don't want to be tethered to federal aid like this , that's not what people by and
6:09 am
large want. i also wonder, what happens to this money? we've talked about how well if it doesn't get spent today or tomorrow where does it go? does it disappear into city and state government bureaucracies then? does it somehow get utilized for things that it wasn't intended for? is it just taxpayer money that gets wasted? i mean this really should have been done differently and looked at very closely, different states have different needs. first people should have been gotten back to work and then you could have really seen where the impact had been. it can't just be this blanket let's throw money at states. it makes absolutely no sense. it's not targeted and nearly enough, will. will: you know that's absolutely true, but we need to move on to another story this morning. we spent a lot of time over the last several months talking about cancel culture. that's partially because number one, it has grown at a break neck speed over the past seven to eight months but more importantly, number two, because it's about you. you at home, you whose listening , you who want to think freely and speak freely. that's ultimately what it's about. it's not about mr. potato head,
6:10 am
or the washington redskins or dr. seuss or even abraham lincoln because he as well has been canceled and bari weiss, a am toker new york times op-ed writer really putting a fine point on that note. here is her op-ed is the self-silencing major today's tas are fringed ideas trying to redefine what is acceptable and what should be shunned. it is a group that is control of nearly every had or all institutions that produce american culture and intellectual life, but higher education, museum, publishing houses, marketing and advertising outlets, hollywood, k-12 education, technology companies and increasingly corporate human resources departments. there are two ill liberal cultures swallowing up the country. i know because i live in blue america in a world awash, an np
6:11 am
r note bags and the social justice to the family inside, in my america the people who keep quiet don't fear the wrath of trump supporters, they fear the ill-liberal left. these story, pete, in the end aren't about mr. potato head. they are about you at home, and that's why they are so important because the effort is to silence you. pete: very much so. good an bari weiss for laying that out assett o wently as was done and i'll say the volume of our conversation can be very loud. i like your ideas you don't like my ideas, i'm the left, i'm the right, that's very different than cancel culture which is we control the avenues through which you speak and the institutions that are what's good and what isn't and as a result if you don't follow our guidelines, you're not allowed in society. you can't talk and your account is deleted, you will be dis invited and your product will be pulled from the shelves and in the case of average people, will as you talked about you self-censor to the point where if everyone around you doesn't
6:12 am
agree, then you just sort of go it's not even worth talking and you see it in the classroom with kids and you see it in facebook groups and in pta groups. i'm not going to say it and that's a really dangerous place where we reached. we had rob smith on earlier great on this talking about how he was canceled by the left. >> when i came out of the republican a couple years ago i was canceled by the left because i'm a black gay guy that doesn't think in ways they see fit. what i find interesting about what's happening right now, and what bari is speaking about is that young writers are afraid to use their voices because they feel like those voices are not liberal enough. that's very interesting to me, but i think that we're in a really good place to fight this because we have named it so we call it cancel culture now and the only way to cancel cancel culture is to have more speech so the only way to really combat that is to create our own opportunities to create our own lanes with our own voices, and create our own entertainment. jedediah: yeah, i think cancel
6:13 am
culture really is a cancer on real debate and real conversation. i know, will and i, we disagreed a little bit earlier just because i feel that this has per vaded the right and i feel like it's everyone. people on the hard right, heart left and people in the center i can tell you i speak, i get plenty of hate from the right and left and plenty of calls to shut me down and other people feel the same as well but i think you're right about one thing, will. on the left, it does feel like more of an organized machine. it feels like there are a lot of components that are working together. you talk about corporate america , you talk about big tech you talk about academia hollywood. those are a lot of big institutions with a lot of power that oftentimes work together, so that does seem like more of a collusion, more of an effort that's all standing together, than what you see on the right. in this current moment but my fear is that is that coming on the right? i hope not, but i see signs that it could be. will: right now it's a monolithic cultural suppression coming from largely one direction. coming up, new york democrats
6:14 am
voting to takeaway the emergency powers of governor andrew cuomo, but for more than 15,000 families, who lost loved ones because of the deadly nursing home order, it's a cover up, it's not enough. we're going to talk to a daughter of one of the victims whose demanding an apology from the governor, next.

6:18 am
measure, of accountability for quite sometime. is it enough the repeal of his emergency powers? >> good morning, will. um, it is not enough for me because we have been pushing, as you said, almost a year since the order was originally signed by the governor, and we have had no success until now when the reports have come out of the corruption that has occurred the governor has made money on a book, touting his leadership skills, probably $2 million, and i think that there's a lot to be answered for and the families of 15,000 including my mother deserve answers and accountability. will: now, laura, while there's these reports coming out that there was a push to undercount, to coverup the number of deaths again which included your father in one of these facilities, here is what governor cuomo's
6:19 am
attorney is saying, the following. there was no undercount, as total deaths in respectable of location were always disclosed and the methodology of how data was being presented was accurate. so, the key phrase in there is irrespective of where those deaths occurred. that's the entire point isn't it that's the entire point so people understand what role the governor's order played in those deaths. i want to ask you that but i'm going to pair that with this. what accountability do you want, laura? >> i think most of us want an admission of a mistake. had this been a mistake, we would have just accepted it as a global pandemic and unchartered territory; however, putting legislation out that has immunity for nursing homes and the government, to me, indicates awareness of what the actions were doing and what the actions would cause. will: what is the coverup,
6:20 am
potential coverup of those numbers afterwards suggest to you? >> well the potential coverup is suggesting that they didn't want us to know just how many had been affected. we thought it was 6,000. we thought it was 9,000. we're up to 15,000, and i don't think people realize the magnitude of that number because it's a number, but when you poupt it in the context of other events that happened such as 9/11, you realize that this is 15,000 human souls that we lost and they were lost needlessly. will: right. yeah, when you cover something up, it suggests there's a reason there's something to coverup. there's an action, a mistake or perhaps more you don't want the public to know about. laura, we're really appreciative of your time this morning and again as always we're really sorry about your loss with this entire story. thank you for being with us this morning. thank you, thank you, will. will: take care.

6:27 am

6:33 am
to the yearbook and the parents of this year's seniors organized a picture for their sons. in that photo they had to take their masks off. for that sin, they are now being punished. those seniors are suspended for two weeks, the entire team has been put on hiatus for one week to review covid-19 training protocols. the superintendent of the district is saying the following. we delayed the start of practice one week so they could review safety and health guidelines. i look forward to them starting safely on monday. a little bit earlier, i spoke to two parents and one of the players on that team, one of the seniors in that photo. here is what he had to say. >> the whole baseball program for punishment because of these pictures had to do a covid protocol lesson the beginning of february, and so that was supposed to be the punishment. >> they are trying to make an example out of us that's what i think they are doing. there's a lot of parents that were calling matt hill, asking what our punishment was going to
6:34 am
be. >> it'ssting. i think that it's so unnecessary they already did the protocol, over a month ago, and so for him to come and say oh, we're going to, you know, suspend them for a week so they can go over it is, you know, he's just lying. it's an abuse of power. will: jedi think the most disgusting part is the punishment that was needed out was actually a compromise advocated for by the athletic director and the coach. the superintendent and the district they wanted to cancel the entire baseball season because of that photo. jedediah: uh-huh, yeah, and if you look at the photo first of all it's outside, which is everyone knows when it comes to covid is the safest place to be so the photo itself, there's nothing alarming to me about that whatsoever, however the thing is with a school like this they are going to cover their bases and that school knows that if there is any incidence of covid-19 infection that spreads that is traced in anyway, back to that photo there's going to be consequences for the school so this is just a way they are going to create a deterrent and say listen if you
6:35 am
violate our rules on this on any other matter you're going to be punished just to send a message to the community so i think it can be viewed as an abuse of power but also just everyone needs to take a minute and take it into perspective was that really a covid-19 spreading event them taking that photo? looks like a no to me that's how the policy should be formed. pete: super lame. they are taking a picture. they are seniors, it's baseball, of course the administrators are being lame about it and cracking down on it. they are lucky their schools even open in light of all of the insanity of teachers unions and things like that. i hope there's more blowback, and take another picture and win the state tournament and these are not bad kids doing bad things. they have already got most of their senior year robbed from them so i hope there's more blow back, and good on the parent s for fighting back we need more parents fighting back against nonsense like this. you got me all fired up, will. i'm about to watch a basketball tournament of my kid, my 10- year-old and they are wearing masks on the court. it's the single dumbest thing you've ever seen in your life

jedediah: a kentucky mother of eight petitioning her state supreme court in her legal battle with a local hospital. in 2015, kim johnson received this letter from good news, with good news from her doctor telling her she did not have cancer. just nine months later she was diagnosed with stage iv breast cancer. she's now arguing the hospital not only misdiagnosed her but also altered her medical records to coverup their terrifying mistake and kim joins us with her attorney, lara parker, thank you both for being here so kim i want to go to you first because this must be an incredibly scary journey for you beginning in 2015 so what happened here with these two letters that the hospital claims they sent out as followups inviting you to go back for retesting or something of the sort? >> well i did not receive those letters and i couldn't understand how i could have missed it, so when they started researching it they went through the records and found out that
6:44 am
the letters were generated after the lawsuit was filed. jedediah: so kim, just to go back on this journey you go in on january 2015, you're told you receive a letter that says that everything is clear, you go about your life. ultimately when is it that you went for the second opinion and you realized that a mistake had been made here and the diagnosis >> well i keep going back to the doctor, because the lump kept getting larger and i was having a lot of pain and they thought it was a staph infection so they keep giving me different antibiotics, and then in september, finally i asked for a second opinion and the doctor got upset with me because she said that, you know, she thought i let my mind runaway with me because my mother died of cancer didn't mean that i had cancer, but she did give me a referral, and i went to st. elizabeth hospital up in cincinnati and was diagnosed pretty well,
6:45 am
immediately. jedediah: so lara, i want to bring you in here. in terms of hard evidence that you have to show that there was something that transpired in terms of manipulating records or that records were created after the first lawsuit was filed, what can you tell us about that? >> well, about three-monthings after we filed the lawsuit, we received in discovery in the course of that lawsuit letters that purported to say that kim should have followed up after that first mammogram which was concerning to us because kim never received those letters. after years of discovery we were able to get a hold of the meta data which is data that lives under the electronic medical record and that data shows who changes the record, when they change it, what they change it to, and that data showed within seven days of filing our lawsuit, hospital employees entered kim's medical record and started deleting evidence that she was sent a cancer-free letter and she in fact needed a biopsy and those
6:46 am
deletions and fabrications of evidence continued until about three months after we filed the lawsuit, when those fake documents were produced. so, the hard data is think to show the fabrication. jedediah: we do have a statement we need to read from the hospital to fox & friends this is what it says. recent media coverage is a miss characterization of the situation and not reflective of how our team operates or the care provided at our hospital. our staff members did not attempt a coverup of any kind. just quickly is this a kind of case that you see often, something like this going on with records and potential manipulation? >> yes, right now more than 50% of my cases involve some sort of states. it's a national problem that deserves a national solution. jedediah: wow well kim we wish you the best of luck on your treatment journey and we definitely appreciate you bringing this issue to the forefront today. thank you so much.
6:47 am
>> thank you. >> saying that god has blessed me and is taking care of me, i give god all the glory. jedediah: thank you so much, kim and coming up, pete's speech at cpac sparking a lot of attention from some in the moo ed yeah who think he is out of touch with real americans we are taking a trip down memory lane for a look at some of the conversations he had with diners, that's comp coming up, next. >> ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ it all starts with an invitation... ...to experience lexus. the invitation to lexus sales event. get 0% apr financing on the 2021 nx 300. experience amazing at your lexus dealer.

6:52 am
>> in west milwaukee. >> in virginia beach, >> new jersey. >> they exude red, white and blue do you guys love america? >> [applause] >> i've been across the country for four to five years meeting with hundreds, with thousands of americans over breakfast, because that's what we do on breakfast with friends we bring the voice of the people. >> breakfast with friends you're for the people not the pundits. >> talking about the people the pulse of the people so we're here to talk to the people this morning. >> people share their ideas every morning as friends, republicans, and across the aisle as democrats. >> i sit down with a school teacher. >> i'm here with matt whose in education. >> i'm a retired teacher. >> or a construction worker. >> you were pouring concrete this morning and saw our show and you own a concrete business and i asked you how business iss great. pete: you're a small business owner. >> i'm a small business owner. >> we have small businessings in our family. >> for the first time in my lifetime, we have a president that understands small

businesses. pete: and they're not talking about esoteric things that the ivy league talks about or msnbc talks about. they're talking about the bible and faith and prayer. >> you pray at night, we leave it with the lord and we know whatever is going to happen is going to happen. >> this country was fundamental ly based on christian principles. >> you're bringing god back into god bless america. pete: something you expect you'd like to see this president do? >> i think he's doing exactly what we want for god for country and for family. pete: and their family. >> people coming across our border illegally, it's a threat to our way of life and the safety of our families. >> we're paying $22,000 for our health insurance. >> it's really quite simple, it's about family values and about being patriotic americans. pete: hard work. >> there's a different work ethic up there. people work really hard. >> you can not tax your way to prosperity.

6:55 am
like i have gotten to know you too. i don't know you individually every soul is different but when you spend time to get to know and appreciate people and americans you really start to understand what they value, and i think we try to bring it to people so that was ad hoc in my speech i wasn't going to talk about it but i felt it was an example of the things we're trying to do on fox & friends here, jed. jedediah: all three of us have done those diner segments and what you walk away feeling most is people feel disenfranchised from the system from politicians from washington d.c., and it's just an opportunity to let them speak and hear what they really feel are their challenges and their hopes and their expectations. it's like straight to the people as you say it really is, so it's refreshing. will: the disbelief in all of that criticism over the past week or so, or whatever its been, pete, the disbelief that common americans sitting at din ers throughout this country could ponder the tenth amendment is really condescending. i mean, it's just how could they possibly imagine that every day americans, of every race, of
6:56 am
every economic strata who get up and go to work wonder about the founding principles of this country. you could not be more condescending to americans. pete: absolutely and will, we're in a back to basics moment and what a lot of these people, i call it common sense wisdom. you go back to the things that have always worked and that really matter and that you're grounded in and their country was founded upon and they reiterate those things when all our elite classes are distracted by the latest shiny object. we love you guys out there and we thank you for supporting us more "fox & friends" moments away. >> ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ 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.
