"fox & friends" start right now. >> president biden taking credit for the vaccine development that began under president trump. >> now with all the work we have done, we will have enough supply by may. >> that was the brainchild of the trump administration. >> massive crisis at the border and top democrats are mocking republicans for being concerned about it. >> the biden administration's policy to be based on love of children rather than political points or red meat for the republican base. >> recall for governor cuomo to resign. >> the national organization for women saying cuomo is unfit to serve as the leader of the state for another day.
3:01 am
jillian: chaos in portland. protestors smash windows and light fires. >> the house pass two control bill that is will ultimately make it harder for americans to buy and sell firearms. >> they don't do anything to prevent gun violence. they rob law abiding citizens of their constitution amendments. >> good friday morning to you. i hope that you're having a good morning so far. we are grateful that you're joining us on friday morning. hope you have a good weekend ahead. hopefully fun plans but i was asking friends here this morning, what are you doing this weekend, nothing, nothing. we are all hunkered down. we lose an hour sleep on sunday. >> spring forward. >> i will keep to myself. i feel guilty but we know plans today, looks like vice president
3:02 am
will be selling $1.9 trillion plan which they will officially sign today so they do have plans but immediately joe biden will go right to delaware where he will hang out for a while. >> he will sell the covid rescue plan to the country although in washington he could only sell it to the democrats. meanwhile and, ainsley, by the way, welcome back from chicago. ainsley: thank you. brian: nice job. good to have you. steve: joe biden in the east room of the white house gave 25 minute speech, first prime time of his presidency where essentially he marked one year since covid was declared a national pandemic. he talked about a 5-point plan, good news is every eligible american of adult age can get a shot will be eligible for a shot by may first. that's one of the things he said last night. if you missed it, here are some of the high points. >> a year ago, we are hit with a
3:03 am
virus that was meat with silence and spread on unchecked, denials for days, weeks, and months. that led to more deaths, more infections, more stress and more loneliness. two months ago, the country, this country didn't have nearly enough vaccine supply to vaccinate all of our near all the american public but soon we will. we've been working with vaccine manufacturers, pfizer, moderna, johnson & johnson to manufacture and purchase hundreds of millions of doses of these 3 safe effective vaccines at the direction and with the assistance of my administration, johnson & johnson is working together with a competitor, merck, to speed up and increase capacity to manufacture new johnson & johnson vaccine. because of the work we have done
3:04 am
we will have enough vaccine supply for all adults in america by the end of may. when i came into office you may recall, i set a goal that many you said was kind of way over the top. i said i intended to get 100 million shots in people's arms in my first 100 days in office. tonight, i can say we are not only are we going the meet the goal but we will beat the goal because we are on track to reach this goal of 100 million shots and arms on my 60th day in office. ainsley: remember his original goal was 1 million shots per day. well, we were already doing that when trump was in office before the inauguration. if you look at the numbers, january 14th, on that day there were 870,000 shots, 870,500. steve: look at the green numbers. ainsley: exactly. the total is the yellow number you see in the middle and on the 15th. then we hit the 1 million per day and then 16 through the
3:05 am
17th, january 17th, more than 3 million. january 20th, 817,000 and january 21, a little more than a million. we were already hitting the numbers. when he took office only 8% of people, 65 an older received their first shot and he mentioned that but the vaccines had only been recently provided to all of us at the end of december. brian: right. so i want to let mark go off and his passion is like no other seen and i will comment on the other side, listen. >> the trump administration last summer before we had a vaccine just in case some of these would work contracted and got 800 million doses to cover 400 million people. when pfizer and moderna had received administration, the trump administration ordered
3:06 am
2 million vaccinations. where do you think the vaccines are coming from? do you think they are coming from joe biden and the basement? this speech that joe biden gave is the most disgusting propaganda speech ever given. it's pathetic. you notice he and his spokesperson jen psaki never tell us what they have done and exactly who has done it, that is so different from the trump administration. this is so appalling. this man has exploited this pandemic. brian: and he goes on. obviously mark levin is on the money with everything he said. keep in mind joe biden had the opportunity to be the unifier and uniter and he can talk about warp speed how he exceeded expectations and third vaccine was ready to go when he took office and wowing the world including got okayed in england
3:07 am
first. and since when is it a great idea to make more vaccine? it turns out according to new york times donald trump was set by july 800 million vaccines for the two that was approved, so that was already done. number 3, can we stop praising anthony fauci and saying he's world renown. everyone might know him but i don't know how many people should be listening to him. he's the one us had us hoeing down groceries and he said flat out in january, this is not going to be a big problem here. he's the one that told us multiple times not to wear a mask, they only make you feel better and sensation that you're going to be prevented from getting the illness. he's been wrong every step of the way and i bring you to the wall street journal today and the wall street journal says this and get this and if donald trump is watching he's going to say i told you. trump's biggest mistake was putting too much faith in health experts and their lockdown models as hospitals in northern italy burst with patients.
3:08 am
epidemiologist and u.s. hospitals do the same. the governors never let up. why not point the governors over locked down americans and when you do take them off now in oklahoma, texas and other states like connecticut, now you get ridiculed. so this is a bunch of governors who don't want to let up on their control because of unnecessary pain. that's the story that should have been written and we don't need to go over the 500 dead. we had the moment. let's talk about the future moving forward. every time he has a chance to praise the press administration he not only does praise but he kicks them in the growingle. >> well -- growing. steve: well, here is the thing, somebody needs to take a laptop in the oval office today and just open it up and have joe
3:09 am
biden try to make an appointment to get a vaccine because that is what everybody i know has been trying -- everybody i know since they want to get the vaccine but it has become almost impossible. ainsley: what is the process like? steve: it's so complicated, ainsley. that's part of the problem. it's because it's a watch work. every state is different. down in florida they optimized it by having you go to the grocery store website, publics has been effective in that. but it's such a patch work it's impossible. i have two kids that live in dc area, they have been trying to register. never get past the first step. ainsley: really? steve: the people over 65 must be so incredibly upset. joe biden did say yesterday now they're trying to find and create a vaccination website which is kind of reminiscent of the obamacare website. remember how well that worked in the beginning. if they are going to talk about
3:10 am
we have to register everybody for the vaccine, this should have been ready on day one for joe biden. if joe biden was really running the country according to ben domenech, he probably would have done that. here is ben. ben: another garbage speech full of lies from a person who thinks they are in charge of america but actually isn't running anything and i'm not going to pretend otherwise. the reality is that this guy who has been trolled out to us as being the president of the united states except for the fact that he hasn't taken a single question for 50 days, you know, comes out here and says all the different things about expectations for the future, he's trying to defend a massive expenditure of taxpayer money, but something that is also not actually targeted in any real way. ainsley: well, he is being criticized this morning by some networks, new york times and
3:11 am
abc, they credited trump with helping with the success of the vaccine and they both have criticized biden for failing to acknowledge that fact. sean hannity last night said to your point, brian, basically wouldn't it be great if he acknowledged it and could get along because he was going to be the unity, unifier, joe, you want unity, why don't you thank donald trump. you want us all to get along, you say no trump, no vaccine, joe. stop trying to take credit for frankly you had nothing to do with. brian: children have lost a year of learning and people and the media has become lockdown cheerleaders. there's just no doubt about it. you go to lockdown every network jumps on the governor saying you're callus and don't care about seniors. obviously mistakes as we went along because get this, china poisoned the world and they still have not told us how it happened and the w.h.o. covered for them. when -- trump called him out, he gets ridiculed by being
3:12 am
anti-china or -- or having deflecting for not being able to fight the virus, what virus, we thought -- we didn't know it traveled to asymptomatic spread. nobody knew that. ainsley: not getting to the facts of where this started in china. is what if it happened again. brian: of course. ainsley: the news can break on any day and we can't go through this again. they have to get to the bottom of it. steve: we would also like to get to the bottom of what's going on in our southern border. one thing the president did not address last night was the crisis at the southern border and it is a crisis. griff jenkins live from laredo today with more. you have some unbelievable video showing people lined up waiting to get on boats, they have to pay hundreds of bucks to the smugglers, this is jaw-dropping. griff: they do, indeed, steve, ainsley and brian. happy friday to you. ly get to that video in a moment. first the president not addressing after 50 days in
3:13 am
office the escalating migrant crisis and many thought he might do so because widely viewed that first-day promises like remain in mexico has led to spike on southern border. now at the white house our own peter doocy asking jen psaki about the mexican president's view of president biden. watch. >> he said, they see him as a migrant president and so many feel they are going to reach the united states. >> mexico will have to be -- is an important partner and ensuring we are addressing the flow of migrants. we made a policy decision because we thought it was humane approach. but the facts are -- >> griff: on the heels of february numbers. 1,441 encounters in february compared to 2019 when it was a crisis. it was only over 66,000, now the video you mentioned, take a look at this. in the rio grande valley where i was yesterday at the river crossing just hundreds on the
3:14 am
bank coming hour after hour, i have been multiple times to that very point and i can tell you it's certainly in full force right now. minority leader kevin mccarthy speaking out yesterday. he'll be making a trip down to the border on monday and here is a little bit of what he had to say, listen. >> this is not a political issue anymore. it's becoming a national security concern. he hasn't even acknowledged the crisis he created. griff: now in laredo because we have a buyer delegation coming down, republican, texas senator john cornyn coming with henry colla, has his district. first to carrizo springs, teen facility an hour away and the media not allowed to go on the tour and then come to laredo for a round table with some of the local leaders. we will be bringing that to you all day long, brian, ainsley and
3:15 am
steve. steve: griff, you and i have talked about we have not seen color coated wrist bands that apparently some of the smugglers are putting to people to indicate that they have been paid by, you know, they paid the smugglers. do the smugglers only have to get them across the river and then they are processed, essentially home free once they get them off the boat, right? griff: that's right, there's a couple of interesting things because if you look at the videos that we shot and as i was encountering the migrants this week, i looked and saw their clothes were clean, they looked to be fairly put together and that's unique to me as an observation because i've traveled the 4,000 miles from san pedro to honduras, honduras to guatemala and all the way of thousands of miles of mexico and you don't look like that, your clothes are not clean after a multiweek trip like that. another indication. i think, ainsley, the cartels
3:16 am
are controlling every move on that side of the border and they are being held at a various spot before they are moved and so i think on the other side, on the southern side it's quite organized and the cartels are taking an opportunity to -- to be in control of it. ainsley: number of elicit drug increased in february includes heroin and meth and texas governor, governor abbott said the cartels are being enriched. the biden administration is helping cartels make more money. griff: yeah. ainsley, a quick point on that and that is here in laredo, we don't see the family units and unaccompanied minors, there's a lot of traffic and so this sector right here is a heavy narcotics moving through the tractor trailers across the border because heavy traffic and in this area they are seeing 140% spike in the single adults. now the officials here tell me if there's 140% spike in their
3:17 am
numbers, that means conservatively there's 140% spike in the profits for the cartels in their criminal activity. brian: good point. i appreciate it. i will check with you again. nancy pelosi came out and said northbound is showing his love of children. is anyone buying that? is it a love of children to let parents feel as though they can give $3,000 to a stranger to bring their kid a thousand miles through treacherous landscape which will put them into a pen without a certain future. that's false hope for kids putting them in unnecessary peril. that's an insulting statement. kevin mccarthy, house minority leader who wants to be speaker and maybe statements like that will help him get there and will be there in about 2 hours. steve: he's going to the southern border i believe on monday. 6:17 in the morning and jillian joins us right now with more of the story we were telling folks about yesterday.
3:18 am
jillian: the family of fallen tampa police officer unveiled name on memorial. the community paying tribute to jess last night. the decorated officer and marine veteran sacrificed life to stop drunk driver that was going 100 miles per hour in the wrong direction on a highway. officer leaves behind 3 children and wife who was also a police officer. he will be layed to rest next week. construction crews remove some of the razer wire around capitol building, parts of the fencing are being modify to open up streets for traffic and pedestrians. the changes come as several dc residents and lawmakers push to remove the fencing completely. it was put in place for after security after the january 6th riot. food network star gives fans an update on her husband and nephew who were injured in a head of on crash. the pioneer women writing in part, caleb and ladd are in the hospital but we think they will both be okay. her nephew caleb was ejected on
3:19 am
the seat after the two men collided fire trucks. they were protecting the family ranch from a fire nearby. send it back to you. ainsley: they will be okay. looks like they will be okay. thanks so much, jillian. major bill de blasio says it's time for governor cuomo to step down as the governor faces an impeachment investigation and potentially a criminal investigation. that's next.

3:23 am
xfinity. the future of awesome. ainsley: new york lawmakers launch impeachment investigation against embattled governor cuomo. brien: carley shimkus with more on the probe that's widen as a police report is filed against the governor over sexual harassment. carley, this is the sixth accuser, right?
3:24 am
carley: that's right. and governor cuomo's political career already on the ropes and it took another striking blow yesterday. state lawmakers opening an impeachment investigation into sexual harassment and nursing home cover-up scandals. the decision comes as more than half of all new york state lawmakers have called on cuomo to resign or be impeached. that number includes 65 democrats. new york city mayor bill de blasio doubling down on his call for cuomo to go. >> it's not one, it's not two, it's not three, it's not four, it's not five, it's six women who have come forward. it's deeply troubling and he can no longer serve as governor. it's as simple as that. carley: some republicans in the state legislature say the impeachment investigation is a democrat effort designed to buy cuomo more time and they should move to impeach now. those who lost loved ones in nursing homes could agree 150 victims sending cuomo a scathing
3:25 am
letter thursday demanding resignation and in another shocking blow, the governor could possibly be facing a criminal investigation as well over the latest accusation he aggressively groped a female aide at the governor's mansion late last year. cuomo's own office notifying police yesterday acting counsel to the governor saying they did so as a matter of state policy and just one new york state governor, steve, ainsley, and brian has ever been impeached and that was in 1913. brian: long time ago. we did not cover that. i don't know why. we will look into that later. meanwhile look at the numbers, 120 state lawmakers call for governor to resign. 150 total and new york state's senate has 63 members. you know republicans are going the line up but they're smart. they are smart to let the democrats take the lead on this and it's just very interesting too to see senator schumer say i'm not going to give the money
3:26 am
i'm getting from the 1.9 trillion, i'm not going to give it to governor cuomo, i'm going to give the city their money because oftentimes the governor doesn't give it to the mayor. already division among the dems. steve: well, that is the political angle where they are calling for impeachment because impeachment is political. let's talk about the criminal angle and that involves the latest charge from the sixth accuser which is sexual assault. there's an exclusive in the wall street journal this morning, the headline is governor andrew cuomo called former staffers to discredit the accuser. the accuser is lindsey boyle and the first one to came out. wall street journal say that is apparently at least 6 different former employees heard were called and said, hey, have you heard from lindsey, what did you talk about and stuff like that. they say that apparently the governor's secretary melissa de rosa directed the calls and people were encouraged to, oh,
3:27 am
you have dirt on lindsey boyle, give it to a reporter. just sleetly smear her. obviously this is intimidation because although the governor's office denies all of it you know what ainsley and brian, it's not just intimidation, it is witness tampering and that is criminal and with the, you know, the department of justice looking into allegations regarding the nursing home, this could go wider now that the police have it. you know, somebody could wind up going to jail over that witness tampering. ainsley: assembly man ron kim says that's what cuomo would do. he would call him up and bully him and we also heard de blasio say that that that's what he does. ron kim is friends with janice dean and been working on the nursing home deal and he's trying to get to the bottom of it to find out what the incentive was to put sick people in nursing homes. must be removed in public office so he can no longer cause abuse
3:28 am
or can abuse powers while preying on other female staff members. brian: you need leadership in new york and suddenly things are opening up. isn't that amazing? suddenly kids can go back to school and restaurants opening and suddenly he's seeing the light. steve: i'm seeing stack of stuff. today there's a list, i wasn't just new york that sent people back to the nursing homes, it was also 4, 5 other states including pennsylvania, i believe, michigan, new jersey and others. so, you know, you have to figure that the department of justice is looking that into new york. brian: not florida. ainsley: they owe it to the families that lost loved ones. steve: the site of george floyd's death in minneapolis has gone to memorial to anticop autonomous zone. reaction from law enforcement. they don't like it, coming up
3:29 am

>> 21 minutes before the top of the hour, now this, overnight chaos as protestors light fires outside of federal courthouse in portland even torching an american flag. benjamin hall is live. >> brian, hi. good morning. yeah, look, a group of 60 people stormed the police outside the hatfield building. the courthouse has been the scene of several protests, unlawful assemblies and riots since last may following death of george floyd and at least one person arrested on suspicion of damaging property and punching an officer. some can be seen smashing windows and spreading graffiti. it was authorities on the scene and offices with the department of homeland security, they encountered the protestors with
3:34 am
teargas and smoke bombs. many demonstrators were dressed all black and some identifying as antifa. the unrest announced after mayor ted wheeler is seeking $2 million to help bring back uniformed police officers and spike in shootings over the past few months but wheeler disbanded the city's gun violence reduction team amid $15 million in budget cuts. it was also after the city began dismantling put up from last summer's riots when the city say more than 100 con sective nights of destructive protests. wheeler says unlike the gun violence team, this new money for police would include a new community oversight committee that would publish statistics and help establish parameters for the police enforcement. brian. brian: all right, benjamin, thank you very much, steve. steve: thank you, brian. the site of george's floyd death
3:35 am
is becoming memorial to anticopy autonomous zone. and it gets worse, over the weekend a 30-year-old black man was fatally shot inside the zone and sources say activists blocked the police from coming to his aid. here to discuss national police association spokesman sergeant betsy smith joins us today from tucson, betsy, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. steve: good to have you. what happened to george floyd is terrible and now it's working its way through the court system there. but this autonomous zone, 6 block autonomous zone where something happens to somebody like that guy, the police can't get in to help him. >> that's the thing. this is specifically an anti-cop zone. they just had a homicide there on sunday. they do have two people in custody. very little details about -- about those arrests but not only
3:36 am
police but ems is having a very difficult time getting in there. it's also been declared by some as a no-white zone even though there are residents throughout this 6-block area and some of those residents are white. minneapolis is a very multi-cultural city and this started out as a memorial to george floyd. this is the site of his arrest, but it's now just become -- what we saw in seattle like we saw in portland with the red house autonomous disown and now it's just dangerous for everybody. steve: i see the minneapolis committee voted 5 to 1 to advance proposal asking voters to replace police department and we heard them do that as well. you know, and we talked to people from seattle. they don't understand what the town council is doing because that is not necessarily what a majority of the people want to do. so if it goes to a vote for the people of minneapolis, it's up
3:37 am
to them but i know that your organization is worried about the crime and the people who live in that area and you look at the number of homicides, it's gone up 71% in the last year or so when you take a look at 2020 82 people are killed in 2019 are 48. here is the graphic right there. your group has filed an amicus brief on behalf of the people who live in the zone because they should be entitled to police safety. >> absolutely. and this is what the national police association decided to get involved, not only -- we support the police but we also support law-abiding citizens who need the police to help them stay safe and in a post-george floyd city of minneapolis, you know, the police department, 200 officers short at least, officers keep getting injured. they are trying to retire out
3:38 am
with exceptions. lots of them just retired or left early or went to other cities and the citizens and the business owners can't get enough support from the police department because there's not enough police officers. i want people to know about the minneapolis police department. it is one of the most progressive police departments in this country. i would say third to seattle and then portland. you know, they have the most progressive leadership. they have the most progressive training and -- and yet now we have this terrible disaster and it's going to get worse with the trial. it's going to be very difficult for the citizens. it's not minneapolis pd but head of county sheriff's department and sheriffs from around the state are lending their support. there's law enforcement from all over the state and, of course, from the federal government coming to help. steve: well, it is a mess. i was reading in local papers down there that apparently you mentioned small business owners,
3:39 am
some different businesses are held up twice a week. it's just one of those things because you pick up, you call 911, nobody comes because they can't. betsy smith, spokesperson for the national police association, sergeant, thank you very much for your service and joining us today. >> thank you, steve. steve: all right. coming up on 20 minutes before the top of the hour, one year ago at the very beginning of the pandemic, ainsley spoke to a panel of mothers about what they thought the future would be like, fast-forward to today, what do they think now? we will check in with them after a break. from our friends at fox bet, how about downloading that app, the fox bet super 6 and play for a chance to win $10,000 this weekend. all you have to do is predict the outcomes in fox bet super 6 quiz show and the topics, we will actually have the actual questions for this week later on in the program with tom, it's free to download. play today fox bet super 6 app

know a year ago that we would be in it. ainsley: you're in new jersey, your schools are not open or you're choosing not to send them? >> they are open on a hybrid schedule. my kids are off this week and next week they get to go in for half a day. i pick them up before lunch. they come home. i fix them lunch and it's up to them whether or not they want to or choose to contact the teacher and get more information from them but, you know, i don't know any 12 or 14-year-old boy who is really going to adapt to that kind of loosey-gossey schedule. i feel like we are operating at 20, 25% capacity as far as education and learning. ainsley: i'm sure that you love your husband very much but you're not used to spending this much time with him. >> no, i'm not. i see him all of the time. he's in the basement. we have been safe and my husband
3:48 am
hasn't lost a job and continue working and it's great and it's also very different. so we can't wait till we all get back to normal, the kids get to go back to school and my husband can go back to work and i can back to doing what i do. ainsley: we are all hoping that. you lost loved ones. >> that i have, that i have. i feel that not just the lost of life but the loss of feeling connected to other people. this virus has perpetuated a division culture as well. we literally been divided, sequestered in our homes, kept away from one another, kept away from people that we need to speak with and engage with and unfortunately that division has had people to echo chambers and part of cancel culture too but there's been a lot of loss in 2020 and unfortunately 2021 started out like 2020 and we
3:49 am
need to be able to start coming together obviously in a very safe way to protect those who are vulnerable, but those who are healthy, you know, we are in texas and i'm grateful that we have the opportunity to go out more. ainsley: take off your mask in the state of texas. if you can go back, what would you tell yourself a year ago? >> oh, my gosh. a year ago i really didn't think that this was going to be a big of a deal as it was and we have been trapped in our home and people have lost their lives and i wish i could tell myself to take it very seriously. i've been very safe thankfully and i haven't lost any loved ones either and everyone i know is could wanting the moments that they'll be able to get the vaccine and get back to some sense of normalcy. ainsley: samantha, you are kids that you can have a discussion, and they have decided to keep
3:50 am
the kids at home, why is that? >> because i thought for their health benefits, i didn't want them in a mask for 4 hours a day every day breathing in their own bacteria. i don't want them to get comfortable with the idea that a mask prevents and, you know, creates good health. i think good health start in our bodies. it start with us eating right, exercising, meditating and i know that there's a false safety. i'm very sorry for the people that lost loved ones and my father was ill with covid and i know it's a serious virus. we have gone so far to say that mask are protection and we lost focus on our own individual, taking care of ourselves individually, so i don't -- i
3:51 am
don't want my children to think that that's normal, wearing a mask and, you know, separating from their friends. there's no joy in school right now, what's the difference, they are not allowed to socialize with friends in school so i would rather them stay home, mask free and live a healthy life inside our home, outside our home. ainsley: right, it's just so sad for our children. thank you for being with us. it's always great to have y'all on. brian: now the rescue package. farmers are the backbone of america and essential workers through the pandemic, we know that but $4 billion set aside for them in the relief bill is only for farmers who are not white. how did this become racially? he wants to know why money isn't going to everyone who needs it. darrell, how shocked were you to find that the color of your skin would be working against you when it came to your job? >> well, it was pretty
3:52 am
disappointing. i thought all farmers would be treated equally. brian: how are you doing through this last year? >> i've been doing pretty good. i've been doing good. i've been staying away from everybody, trying to stay safe, kind of hanging out on the farm, just out when i absolutely have to. brian: what this package has includes estimate $4 billion to pay 120%, black, hispanic, asian american farmers of debt. this is a form of reparations. are minority farmers being discriminated against? >> yes. well, i'm not a racist person to start off with but i don't think it's -- i worked all my life and worked very hard and to get where i'm at and i didn't get no
3:53 am
breaks like that. i don't think that they should get breaks like that, not saying that they don't deserve it, no to -- not to wipe out their debt, debt-free, that's not right. brian: you have debt? >> do what? brian: do you have debt to run your farm? do you have to work your business in debt? >> no, no i'm not in debt. so thank goodness i worked myself out of debt. so i think everybody should work themselves out of debt and they make people appreciate what they're doing better and they don't need to just do, you know, they targeted just the blacks and i don't think it's right. i don't think they should do away with their debts. i'm not saying they need to take the farms away from them but
3:54 am
just don't do away with their debt. brian: yeah, the racial justice -- the racial justice element of the bill was spearheaded by new georgia democrat raphael warnock. 2% u.s. farms are run, is that about the ratio that you see it when you have group meetings or in associations? >> yeah, probably in our area there's not a pocket -- in georgia there's not black farmers. there used to be and they were treated just like we are. but one and done it passed away and the kids didn't want to do it. they're not in our area but they are 2% farmers, black farmers in america. brian: definitely appreciate the hard work you do and you feed

talked about. >> we know what we need to do to beat this virus, tell the truth, follow the scientists, the science. work together. put trust and faith in our government to fill its most important function which is protecting the american people. here is the truth. the only way to get our lives that, to get our economy back, is to beat the virus. if we do this together, by july 4th, there is a good chance, you your family and friends will be able to get together in your backyard in your neighborhood, that doesn't mean large events with lots of people together but it does mean small groups will be able to get together. july 4th with your loved ones is the goal. a lot can happen. conditions can change. >> we don't have 50 states, you can lockdown and give up

4:15 am
they had a problem, vaccine directors pushed other people in, jeff sessions came up with a genius idea of separating families. he apologized toward and they in the end that board -- until joe biden won and became the guy come one come all and when nancy pelosi was asked about this it just shows with unaccompanied minors coming by the thousands, it shows joe biden has a love of children. >> joe biden has no plan, democrats have no plan. and this nation is a beacon of freedom for all to be open to but they have to immigrate legally. we need to grow our economy. immigrants are essential for that but they need to immigrate here legally and we need to fix the system so that we keep americans who are here safe and allow those who are already here to continue to prosper as we welcome more americans the

protects you -- if you wants to install a plexiglas shield on the teacher's desk we have to do that. 5 or 6 teachers take us up on that but to their credit they were ready to educate those students and how far behind are you willing to let kids go before saying i need to get back in the classroom. they did it and anybody can do it. not that difficult. no science shows adults should be scared of kids in the school. the reality is if you are called to education answer the call, get in front of those kids. brian: just give them a chance to do it. it is a different story. i hope people learn from you.

>> reporter: we have been reporting all morning long but there is some big news regarding march madness. the league is revealing they only need five healthy players to be eligible to play which is a huge deal seeing we have seen some covid-19 cases so far. the senior vice president of basketball had this to say, he wrestles with contingencies, and even if it was absolutely compromised, they should have the opportunity to play rather than be replaced. that an important thing to note because after they begin, if he does become ineligible to play, will not be replaced and his opponent will instead automatically move on. overall things look different during march madness. it goes to indianapolis next

5:02 am
nothing going on. brian: do you know lululemon gave me a discount because i coach? ainsley: really that's nice. steve: did you declare that on your income tax? brian: right now. absolutely. steve: all right, welcome to hour three of fox & friends on this get away friday. hope you have a great weekend but first let's talk about the news. last night, joe biden, president of the united states, one year after the pandemic was official ly declared, wanted to update the nation and look forward to what the future holds for the united states but as you look forward he looked backwards and he did some blaming. here is the president. >> a year ago, we're hit with the virus that was met with silence and spread unchecked, denials for days, weeks, and then months. that led to more deaths, more infections, more stress, and more loneliness. two months ago, the country, this country didn't have nearly
5:03 am
enough vaccine supply to vaccinate all or near all of the american people public but soon, we will. we've been working with vaccine manufactures, pfizer, moderna, johnson & johnson, to manufacture and purchase hundreds of millions of doses of these three safe effective vaccines. at the direction and with the assistance of my administration, johnson & johnson is working together with a competitor, merck, to speed up and increase the capacity to manufacture new johnson & johnson vaccine. because all of the work we've done we'll have enough vaccine supply for all adults in america by the end of may. when i came into office, you may recall, i set a goal that many of you said was kind of way over-the-top. i said that i intended to get 100 million shots in people 's arms in my first 100 days in office.
5:04 am
tonight, i can say we're not only going to meet that goal. we're going to beat that goal because we've actually are on track to reach this goal of 100 million shots in arms on my 60th day in office. ainsley: let's bring in geraldo rivera, fox news correspondent at-large to react to this , hey, geraldo. geraldo: hey, guys, good morning ainsley: good morning, so what's your reaction? geraldo: i think the president's speech was fine in terms of the present day and looking forward, very optimistic. may 1 everybody gets a shot, july 4 everybody can barbecue. my only beef with the president was that in looking forward, when you look backward, he looked through a very warped partisan mirror. brian: absolutely. geraldo: the operation warp speed and to overlook the contribution that president trump made in urging everybody, almost obsessively to get that damn vaccine created and distributed that 100 million shots in the first 100 days of the new administration would have been accomplished on trump
5:05 am
's pace as well, you know, so i just think that it seemed for a nice guy as biden is, it seems pretty mean-spirited and narrow-minded. brian: i don't know he's a nice guy he doesn't talk much he just reads stuff but i'll say this , president trump said i plan on having 800 million shots for the american public, vaccinations by july of this year, so, kind of hard to think that the president wouldn't have thought to reorder johnson & johnson, the pfizer or moderna vaccine, but he was giving himself credit for that and also the new york times and washington post said nobody doubted that you could do 100 million shots in 100 days and we're already basically doing that when you were getting inaugurated so please stop saying this impossible barrier has been cleared in 60 days, because we were already doing it so why pretend that this is some great achievement? geraldo: well remember, my suggestion was that the vaccine be nick named the trump. i thought he played a pivotal role in getting it created.
5:06 am
he whipped those , you know, the private companies, pfizer, moderna, johnson & johnson, into a pace of fernetic activity and the distribution was going on pace. they are up to 2 million vaccine s everyday. i think we should be celebrating and i'd love to see the cvs and the walgreens of the world escalating their efforts and i'd like it to be walk-up and everybody be eligible, erica is just 46 years old i'm just worried that, you know, this thing is not over until it's over and i want her to get safe. brian: well you're 48 and you're older so you'll get a shot quicker. geraldo: this tie is 48. brian: [laughter] steve: and joe biden said yesterday all adults eligible should be able to line up starting may 1 and one of the things he's going to do, geraldo is he's going to make it possible so that paramedics can give the shot, so that also dentists can give the shot, and
5:07 am
apparently, veterinarians are going to be able to give the shot. brian: i should be able to do it. i used to give my dog the shot. steve: i've got news for you i'll get a shot from everybody except probably a veterinarian. it could be a bridge too far. geraldo: how about me, would you get it from me? steve: hey, by the way, geraldo what is the deal? you made news earlier this week suggesting you might run for office, but then i read yesterday, you apparently sober ed up. geraldo: well you know what happens? you wake up, you have a dream and the thing is you probably should keep your dream to yourself. instead i started talking to erica about it and we both got very enthusiastic. we really do think that i'm a moderate republican. we can do something in a state like ohio. the reaction, the initial vibe was great but it was also much moreover well aming than i ever expected, fox freaked out, you know, said pick a lane, are you a journalist or a politician and i wasn't ready to, you know, jump off my current turnstyle, so, instead i had to kind of embarrass myself and say never
5:08 am
mind. i really do believe, i swear to god that erica and i really do have visions of this symbiosis of republican entrepreneurial ship and inclusion and free enterprise plus the compassion, social services and bringing everybody along and being diverse. i thought that in a state like ohio would have played and it really was resonating, but you know, i'm not prepared, yet, to leave my current profession. maybe if i kept my mouth shut another six months it would have been a different story. steve: he's a dreamer in so many ways, geraldo standby, because we'll switch gears for a second and go down to laredo, texas, griff jenkins is there at the border and you can see the cars coming into the united states. the border is not really something the president talked about last night. griff: he did not, steve, and we have brand new numbers out of the city of brownsville, texas.
5:09 am
remember the city has been testing the migrants who are dropped off at the bus station there, two weeks ago, 108 had tested positive for covid. last week it was 185. this morning we can report the brand new number 204 un documented immigrants have tested positive for covid out of 1,700 that's a 9.25% rate right now, and it continues today. now, this comes as the president , after 50 days in office, chose not to address the escalating migrant crisis at our southern border and it comes on the heels of the new february number that we received 100,000 encounters, that is a 28% increase from january, a 97% increase from fiscal year 2020, and that video surfacing all over social media today, it's in the rio grande valley sector, the ground zero for the migrant crisis, you see hundreds lining the banks, they are waiting to
5:10 am
come across at a point called re nkone, also like an assembly line and the congressman, a democrat from where i am here in laredo who will be coming down here later today, spoke out about these numbers saying we're really just getting started. listen. >> i nomar, april, may, june, are the high peaks, so, we're about to see the numbers. if we got 100,000 for february, march is going to be higher. griff: now, quar comes down here with republican senator john cornan , they will first tour the facility and then have a roundtable here in laredo. steve, ainsley, brian? brian: thank, griff. appreciate it. let's bring in geraldo rivera back. geraldo this is so out of control. the thing that's different about this in my humble opinion is this is the first time a president hasn't admitted it's out of control. we can't solve the problem if you don't admit you have a
5:11 am
problem. geraldo: they said one of the officials said [speaking spanish] and what that means is the border is not closed when an american official says that out of kindness or whatever it is, compassion, that's a signal. everybody in mexico and everybody in central america wants to live in the united states. i mean, not everybody but virtually the entire populations would love to shift to the north president trump with his very tough border policies and the border wall and so forth, some even say cruelty. stop the flow. he let the word out that this was not appropriate, it wasn't going to happen. joe biden stopped construction at the border wall that was a signal. a green light, and you can't expect kindness to not be rewarded with this kind of very very difficult situation. i will say, i think that people are exaggerating a bit, under title 42, everybody who comes, every adult migrant who comes all those people on that line, they are going to be held an
5:12 am
hour or two, they are going to be sent back. the vast majority just going right back, but if they successfully claim asylum, they get to stay for a hearing. if they are 18 or under, they get to stay because they are un accompanied minors. it's a very difficult situation. the mexican president thinks that biden is a fool, and in some ways he thinks that this is being rewarded with the kind of crisis that we're dealing with right now. i really do think that joe biden has to now say listen, everybody nevermind, the border is closed for right now. we're going to enormously expand our legal immigration but that line that you saw that's going to aggravate -- brian: he won't, geraldo. steve: and geraldo what about griff's headline, brand new numbers out of brownsville. we now know that apparently, 10% of the people who are being tested, keep in mind you walk across the border, the federal
5:13 am
government doesn't test you. non-governmental organizations are testing people, and if you just you hop a ride in a car or you hitch, we don't know what the infection rate is but if you get on a greyhound bus that's the only time that people are tested and they're letting 10% in who have covid. brian: in excusable. steve: given yesterday's milestone, you would think that that's a reason to stop. geraldo: that's a very good reason to stop. this is an emergency. that's why title 42 is being evoked. steve: but the federal government is being looking the other way. it's a gigantic loophole. geraldo: i think that there is enough chaos that the democrats will be moved to act because i think that this issue alone is enough to tilt the congress of the united states to the republicans in the mid-term election. this is an insindary issue and very visceral to many american people and they see the shots of the unrestricted hoards coming
5:14 am
and it absolutely drowns any feeling of compassion. it's just terrible. i just want people to remember that many of these folks are children. ainsley: 30,000. brian: 30,000 kids in one month ainsley: five times more than january. brian: tops all of 2020. ainsley: geraldo thank you. brian: it's a crisis. they should admit it. steve: and he's not going to be a senator. geraldo, thank you. ainsley what's coming up? ainsley: straight ahead president biden prepares for his first-ever quad summit meeting with leaders of india, japan, and australia. among the topics on their agenda , the china threat, general jack keane is going to weigh in on that withith brian, next. y wants the same thing. that's why i go with liberty mutual — they customize my car insurance so i only pay for what i need.

5:19 am
the obama administration. we were largely appeasing china during that time, and actually,
5:20 am
president trump revised this alliance and put some teeth into it, and particularly capitalized on the fact that india was under attack by china on its border and who always wanted to maintain a certain neutrality, brian, which is really their history. president trump capitalized on the fact that india clearly felt threatened by china, in the indian ocean and not just at their border, and now is a full- time player with the other countries and what's notable about these four countries is that three of the four largest economies in the world are in the quad. that's the united states, japan, and india, the exclusion being china, and when you look at the power of this , and put it together economically, and diplomatically, and militarily and they've been doing a number of exercises together militarily it's quite significant and this is really the anchor for a much-broader alliance in the
5:21 am
endoscopyopacific region to confront china not just militar ily but economically and technologically as well so a good step here, yes, talk to them, get their counsel, and continue the revision that president trump started with this alliance, because it is formidable. brian: you'd got to tell the australians we'll stand behind you when they stood up to china and criticized them for still not telling us about the pandemic, and india it continues to take place but they got great potential and if you want china's attention you let japan start beefing up their military because that would freak them out especially because of their past but admiral davidson got our attention and i'm sure yours, he's in charge of this region in charge of the branches of the military. here is what the admiral said in a hearing this week about the chinese military. >> as china continues to increase the size of the people 's liberation army, military balance in the endo pacific is becoming more unfavorable for the united
5:22 am
states and our allies. i can not for the life of me understand some of the capabilities that they're putting in the field, unless it is an aggressive posture. brian: he knows exactly what they're doing and bulking up to fight us. >> oh, yeah, when admiral davidson took over a couple years ago, an assumption of command speech, he laid it right on the table. he said there's no guarantee that we, the united states, could win a war against china today, and that actually remains the fact. he sees the cold, hard reality, when looking at the military balance, china has the momentum. we are outgunned in the indo- pacific. they have a much larger navy. they have the largest air force in the region and the largest collection of offensive conventional missiles on the planet. all of our bases in the region
5:23 am
be vulnerable to a major offensive attack by the chinese military. the u.s. pacific fleet, if it remained in the western pacific, would receive a fuselage of hypersonic weapons which would overwhelm that fleet, and it be quite devastating and they would likely to have sail to the east to get out of the kill zone range and even if we come, because we're an ocean away, we don't have all of the resources in the region, we have to come from the west coast of the united states. that's three weeks away, by cargo ship, et cetera. they would all be under attack, and the chinese would take down our satellite systems. listen in the last 10 years, different sponsors have run wars on this very subject. the result is we lose. when i was on the congressional commission looking at the national defense strategy in 2018, we said this. if we entered in a war with china and the losses to personnel and high capital assets be on a scale not seen
5:24 am
since world war ii we be challenged to win and indeed we could lose. this is not just sobering, this is alarming and we've got to have a sense of priorities and urgency to fix it. trump put money on the table. now we got to get that capability into the indo- pacific region insignificant numbers to have what? brian: detenser. >> we want to deter china. we don't want to go to war with china, we want to weigh their aggression and ambition to possibly do that. brian: general, i would pay for hours of seminar on military strategy with you, but unfortunately, we have to go, but just to point out, in hong kong they basically redo their electoral system, no more freedom, and next could be taiwan, if we don't show them we mean business, and you better not cut the budget just because you just wrote a check on over draft for this rescue plan. i worry about them going into the defense budget.

5:30 am
a lot is going on with the ncaa right now. i first want to touch on that big news that you had mentioned. the league came out and said that as long as a team has five healthy players, that team is el in all to play in the big dance and according to dan gavit, the senior vice president of basketball for the ncaa to be fair in its processing teams should "have the opportunity to play" rather than be replaced. and that's an important thing to note, steve, because after the events begin they will not be replaced and their opponent will automatically move on. now, in the big east there have been no confirmed cases and speaking of the big east, let me just recap what went down in the quarterfinals yesterday because we get into the semis later today. number eight georgetown shocked number one villanova, sorry, steve, the wildcats have won the last three consecutive big east tournaments but not this year as they had to play without their star guard collin gillespie, allowing georgetown to advance to the semifinals for the first time

5:33 am
reporter: johnson is now a lot commander of the u.s. navy reserve and she had big aspirations of flying high growing up in colorado. >> i got introduced to aviation and just discovered what an incredible career path, how much fun you could have, how high-performing, and what kid doesn't want to fly in fighter jets, you know? reporter: a passion her family and friends say they noticed with just about all johnson did growing up, including organizing family meals on vacations. >> i think she was born leader, event planner. reporter: after completing naval academy she attended flight school in pensacola, florida. once there, instructors and classmates noticed her as someone who had the skills and personality to become a weapons system officer. >> i knew that whatever target they were prosecuting mission that they were set out assigned to do that caroline was going to be the one to get it done. reporter: the job put her in the second seat of the fa-18

5:35 am
the u.s. navy for comment. the u.s. navy is committed to fostering an environment in which all members are treated equally, valued, and respected, regardless of gender, race, religion, age, national origin, or sexual orientation. our diverse team, uniform and civilian, active and reserve, will not tolerate discrimination of any kind. we are one team, and one navy, everyday. after leaving active duty, johnson went on to teach leadership at the united states naval academy, helping to recruit new aviators while being honest about her own experiences , which she hopes will empower women to stand up for themselves and find the career path that's right for them. >> if you're curious, reach out to the people who have your dream job. reach out to the astronauts. reach out, you know, to the jet girls, reach out to these people because you'll be shocked. they want to help you, and they want to bring you along for the

5:42 am
today, and if we're going to have all this by may 1 why do we have to wait another two months? steve: good point. >> it was frustrating to me. steve: one of the things he did yesterday that was good for a lot of people was he said that by may 1, every adult who wants a shot should be able to register to get one. doesn't mean they can get it by may 1 but register, and he's opening it up. he's going to make it possible for a dentist to give it and paramedics and veterinarians. we were talking to geraldo about that about an hour ago and i joked i don't know about a veterinarian, but because i've never gotten a shot from a vet, but if that's, listen, they give good shots i was joking, obviously, but if that is how we reopen our economy by trying to flood the zone with as many shots as possible, people should rollup their sleeves and get the shot, right? >> yes, they should, but how is he able to provide that shot? operation warp speed. he also said when he got into
5:43 am
office that they didn't have the vaccine until he came in. even though he was already vaccinated. let's give credit where credit is due because it is the american ingenuity that came together, that we had a virus hit us from china, that we came together and made vaccines and now there's three out there that's already approved so we're going to, we're producing more than 2 million a day into people 's arms. i say every american that wants the vaccine should get it but also every american should be able to go back to work, back-to-school, and back to health. the other thing that he's going to do, he's going to sign a bill that's going to cost every family of four $22,000 and the thing he's not telling you is what's in this bill. let me just point out three things which are hard working taxpayer's money is going for. you are now going to provide bonuses up to $25,000 to government employees and bureaucrats and if you're not part of the swamp, you get nothing. you are now your money is going to pay for illegal immigrants healthcare. your money also is being sent to
5:44 am
san francisco city where your money will be spent giving alcohol and marijuana, to the homeless. that is what that bill is doing and two-thirds of the money for the schools don't even come forward to 2023 and there's a trillion dollars still sitting there from the five bills we've already passed. this is a waste of money, less than 9% is going to covid. this is a payoff to pelosi's political friends. brian: if they are going to go around and try to get momentum behind the 1.9 trillion they should go to prison because prisoners are getting money for this too so that should be great. >> brian, but where is that money coming from? it's your hard working taxpayer money. every american should know it. you just got a bill for $22,000, and that's what your money is being spent on. brian: so let's talk about -- >> everyone should know it. brian: here is what nancy pelosi says because this passed and there's no republican support, she claims that you guys are trying to deflect. listen to what she said
5:45 am
yesterday. >> when you have been focused on covid and the republicans have been talking about immigration, you were focused on the voting rights about they were talking about immigration, today you're talking about something and they are talking about immigration. i wondering if house democrats, why are we not seeing same thing is this a distraction on their part? >> i guess their dr. seuss approach didn't work for them so now they've had to change the subject. brian: well, i guess she's referring to the cancel culture when they knocked out some children's books. what's your response to her? >> well my response to her, look what has happened in the short amount of time they've controlled all. your gasoline price is up, biden has created a crisis on the border that he won't admitt, 100,000 illegal immigrants were encountered just last month, put that in perspective. that is larger than the hometown of scranton, pennsylvania of our president biden and now it's only growing
5:46 am
month after month. he tears the wall down in a border but he puts it around the capitol and now he's eliminated almost 1 million jobs into the energy sector, making our adversaries stronger, russia and china. he won't denounce china when they provided a virus to the entire world. iran is now doing naval tests with russia. they are sending missiles into iraq. china's pushing the envelope into japan and to others and taiwan, and we're sitting here with a president that won't take questions for the last 50 days from the american public to answer why do we have a crisis at the border? last week, i sent him a letter to sit down and have a meeting on it. he still has not answered. i'm going to the border on monday. i'm taking 12 other members with me, so we can actually solve this problem if the president wants to continue to try to create it and ignore it. ainsley: will they let you in the facilities? steve: good question, ainsley. >> well i think it's going to be kind of difficult for him if
5:47 am
there's 12 members of congress who fund these facilities that they won't allow in. i know they've taken away the covid restriction for these children. if you want to fly into america today, you've got to show that you've been vaccinated or had a test, but as they're letting the illegal immigrants into our country, there's no test required. they are letting them right on into compete with the 10 million americans who are out of work. that's what we've got with after this election. steve: well after you go down to the border on monday, please come back and tell us what you saw. >> glad to do it. steve: thank you, sir. ainsley: thank you. >> take care. ainsley: you too. coming up next, you can win $10,000 as part of the fox bet super 6 quiz, tom shawn miskel loo is here with a preview of what you need to know to win big but first let's check in with bill hemmer for what's coming up >> bill: that'll make a good weekend 10 grand in your pocket, i mean brian and steve would love that. good morning, guys have a great weekend okay? we got a great lineup, mark meadows on biden's address, admiral and the lack to his work , tim scott is calling out world supremacy, kayleigh and
