benjamin: in a new york care facility, thank you for joining us this morning. i know you lost two of your sister's. i wonder if you could tell us how they died. >> my mother had 6 children, three on long island and all three got sick in the month of april, in late march of last year. about a year anniversary. i for the life of me can't understand the policy that they are allowing people who are sick back in these homes. my siblings got sick, on three possible scenarios. one is it was growing by the staff, i don't know if they were temperature checking them but my sister annabel, someone went out sick and ended up dying in a matter of two weeks.

people in houses were getting sick. she of course was the last one to contract the virus. another person got sick in the hospital and had pneumonia and was sent back to the house. we were like a deer in the headlights, and why not take them out of the house. i am pissed off, the lowest on the totem pole and nobody spoke out. even now the swirling news about sexual-harassment is terrific and horrible, and i must two of my siblings, and half of my mother of 6 kids.

>> and caroline and annabelle family just died. a minute ago you mentioned nobody was speaking out for them. a lot of people felt that way. that is why meteorologist janice dean has been trying to fight this battle for so long, she lost both her in-laws in long-term care facilities. listen to what she had to say. >> the me too part of this is important but i don't want them to take their eye off of the nursing homes. 15,000 of our loved ones in new york died because of that executive order of 9000 infected patients being put into nursing homes. >> you can hear her emotion and that probably resonates with you, so much focus on the governor right now because of the harassment and misconduct allegation, janice's point is

tell me how you feel but don't forget about our loved ones who died in these nursing homes in the last year. >> what i am hearing is the policy is in effect for the disabled. i want to know that answer. is it money? how do you take care of the least in your society as a reflection on who you are. the state and people involved are not thinking, not being considered of people who have no voice. my brother and sisters said i'm going to get a cup of coffee of contract the virus or go to walmart. this was brought into them. how many other people were sick? everybody in the house has it.

can you imagine? it is insane. it is insane. my sister annabel said i am scared i'm going to die and low and behold, they were sharing the same bathroom in that house. how are you confining people are preventing them -- it is not rocket science. they had plagues in the roman empire and in the middle ages. it is common sense. they did not follow common sense and still not following common sense. jillian: keep fighting the fight. >> how could he be running on that now? jillian: a lot of people have the same questions. >> i'm talking a 9/11 investigation. that is totally independent. so much politics going on that i have little trust. jillian: we are out of time but we want you to keep us updated.

we are so sorry for your loss. benjamin: the time is 20 minutes after they are. moderna stocks testing a vaccine for kids. what are the risks? >> doctor janette nesheiwat has the answers next.

did you know prilosec otc can stop frequent heartburn before it begins? heartburn happens when stomach acid refluxes into the esophagus. prilosec otc uses a unique delayed-release formula

that helps it pass through the tough stomach acid. it then works to turn down acid production, blocking heartburn at the source. with just one pill a day, you get 24-hour heartburn protection. prilosec otc. one pill a day, 24 hours, zero heartburn.

benjamin: moderna vaccine trials at the world vaccination efforts ramping up. should parents feel safe getting their kids inoculated. fox news medical contributor doctor janette nesheiwat joined me now. i want to put up a few stats about these vaccine trials.

almost 7000 children from the ages of 6 months to 11 years. if you look at the childhood infection rate, that is 0.one% of deaths. it is a very low number and the question to you even if approved should kids be having the vaccine considering they are such low risk of covid? >> starting at age 6 months is when they are looking to give this vaccine, the same age we give the influenza vaccine and we had 3.4 children who tested positive so far. that is important to know because kids can be carriers, they can be a symptom medicare is, they can transmit the infection to adults and others who might be more vulnerable. very rarely they can to the multi-inflammatory which can be deadly. it is important to conduct the trials that are going on now and

within a year we should have the final data, the first part of this trial will show how much of the dosing, how much they receive, can the child tolerate the vaccine, what are the side effects and will it work? that is that it and looked at and hopefully we will have that data. benjamin: the testing on children, how would be different from the testing they did on adults in the first round last year. what are they looking for that is different? >> great question. we bought for the same thing in the dosing is similar to get the first shot and 28 days later, what they are doing first is lowering the dose, the lowest possible dosage of the vaccine looking for potential side effects and then determine the next step, how much dosage they will give moving forward. it is similar, make sure we test it because children's immune

systems are different from older folks. benjamin: another topic, looking at europe, a number of countries in europe temporarily halting astrazeneca, germany, france, italy, spain, some evidence it causes blood clots but the world health organization, the regulators says they are firmly convinced the benefits outweigh the risks and they should continue doing it. what is the mixed messaging here? is it safe or not safe? what should we know? >> it is common and normal deposit vaccinations, you have to gather data and information. as it is right now there is no clear link, no data showing a causal relationship between the vaccine and blood clots. blood clots, 37 found in over 11 million britons who have been vaccinated, 37 out of 11 million

we still haven't proven the vaccine causes blood clots but by tomorrow we should receive further information. benjamin: why would these countries overrule their own health agencies and start giving the vaccine? >> they are still giving it in the uk. it is a matter of investigating and studying to make sure there is no direct link which is quite normal and common. benjamin: everyone should continue taking it. thank you for joining us this morning, pleasure to see you. jillian: governor gavin newsom says his potential recall isn't about him. >> it is less about me and more about california, democratic party values, issues related to the browning of california. jillian: his latest attempt to discredit the effort have today's signature headline.

benjamin: some migrants are being sent back to mexico to to it from era health policy about the spread of coronavirus. jillian: griff jenkins has more. take a look. >> reporter: behind me the main port of entry on the other side where folks go into the us, we watched 30 migrants who cleared the process go over. disorganized by immigration folks and they have been approved to cross. under the biden administration they accept the remain in mexico people who were forced to wait in mexico under the trump administration.

the folks, across from the us daily some 50, 60, 70, sometimes 100 groups of migrants who have been sent back and brings a lot of strain on the resources in mexico, the director of the population, and rick a, thank you for your shoulders filling up, how much are your resources pressed? >> a lot of people, very limited stasis and developing capacities and finding more spaces. there spaces will be pulled. >> reporter: the space capacity at us shelters looking for new areas to open up, with unaccompanied minors. the challenge of where to put

people. jillian: thank you. chicago city officials increasing protections for illegal immigrants with a recent ordinance prohibiting local police from cooperating with federal immigration agents. chicago alderman anthony napolitano and raymond lopez voted against the ordinance. they join me live. thanks for being here, appreciate it. let's pull up the chicago welcoming sydney ordinance and you can see what is in this on your screen. what don't you like about this? why did you vote against it? >> number one reason i voted against it is a number of my colleagues - protection and cover for undocumented gang members in chicago and for me we know what kind of strange

chicago economy because a liberal policies out there and to take away one more tool in the toolbox to read our communities of these committee gaining members does not make sense to me. jillian: mayor lightfoot has said you guys are racists, xena phobic and misguided for warning that this ordinance is welcoming criminals to our city. can you give me the context of how that happened? >> the original alderman, raymond lopez, voted against this ordinance because in the spirit of the creation of this ordinance it was to create -- protect illegal immigrants who are productive members of society, they don't want the government to was the way in the middle of the night and protected chicagoans that alderman lopez brought up. we didn't agree and pointed out

why we didn't agree. the easiest answer is she was upset, call us racist and was wrong. and the city less protected, and >> has she retracted that. >> i requested an apology. i requested an apology for my wife and kids is what i ask for. sorry to interrupt. >> for falsely using the terms racist encino phobic at a time they didn't apply. >> we will follow that. divorcing federal immigration from law enforcement.

ice can only do this if local law enforcement the system. the year today shootings of 36% increase, murderers 22%. why is it necessary to have this conversation and say what we are doing isn't working for the community. >> undocumented individuals are not the ones driving the majority of the violence in the city of chicago. you see that in every neighborhood. what we see in certain neighborhoods like the ones i represent where we have a lot of undocumented it is hard enough with the states attorney general and all these policies that are anti-police in chicago to deal with the violence and when you have an individual i will give you a perfect example was we had a gentleman who was arrested five months ago. his graph sheet has 16 incidents

and the only thing that made him nervous was the fact that he admitted while in custody that he was undocumented and now he was afraid of being shipped back to mexico. that was a fear he had and we have officially taken that away. with your document or not nobody wants to live in an unsafe neighborhood, no one deserves to live in an unsafe neighborhood and time and again we see this ping-pong of politics putting people's lives in jeopardy and it has to come to an end. jillian: great conversation, thank you for joining us, we appreciate it, keep us updated. benjamin: first it was anti-vaccine and anti-maskers and now governor gavin newsom is blaming someone else on the push to recall him. jillian: carley shimkus is here with the latest update. carley: gavin is a mess changed his tack regarding the recall effort. until this week he routinely dodged questions about it but

now he is in full attack mode. take a listen. >> it is less about me and more about california and our values, democratic party values related to the browning of california, immigration, issues related to low carbon climate policies. carley: his lambing recall efforts accusing them of being associated with white supremacy and qanon. he's worried about his political future in the recall effort will likely qualify for the ballot. today is the deadline to submit all those signatures and the charge they have over 2 million which is more than what is needed to trigger a recall election. newsom says he's going to beat this recall effort. wait and see about this. benjamin: a progressive story on

an ivy league school. >> reporter: new york city, they are going to have six separate graduation ceremonies based on race and other elements of how students identify but they will have graduation ceremonies for native students, asian, latin x, first generation low-income individuals. there will be a lavender graduation for the lgbt q community. are always graduation ceremonies a good idea? geraldo rivera, dan bonngino d bate. >> the cranky old man sitting before you i would think of as wildly woke and impossibly politically correct and ridiculous but flashback 50 years, in the school of journalism, identity and who you are and where you fit in.

>> don't think segregation was a good idea. we lost a lot of lives fighting this nonsense. time to go back to our goal which was supposed to be a colorblind society. jillian: the two sides, columbia university posted a sweet about this, reports that in previous tweets, representing multicultural graduation celebrations in addition to not instead of university wide commencement and individuals school class days. a lot of celebration taking place at columbia university. >> everyone comes together no matter where you come from or who you are. a whole bunch of other ones as well. 19 until the top of the hour. "fox and friends first" tends back to staten island autonomous zone one year later. >> people say we should be locked up and thrown away for murder and the keyboard warriors out there that you can literally

get canceled. benjamin: the co-owner of max bar on the continued fight to stay open. the full interview coming up next.

>> a year ago from right now before everything went down did you have any indication that you would be one of the poster children for the anti-lockdown movement? >> know. did not want that. did not think that. people are openly handing back their freedoms and liberties, handing them back whether you see it or not. it is happening. i decided someone has to do something and i would do it but not just for me. this is way more than max public house. this is is fighting against oppression on unprecedented levels. >> reporter: bar owners love when their bar is crowded. not many of them have experienced a crowd outside their bar with you on the rooftop. the king of staten island. what was that experience like? >> people coming out and saying

you are what it means to be an american, to go from the day before where there were 25 sheriff's in here taken out and put in a holding cell in the next day have the street in staten island, new york, filled with people in support, very humbling, we had veterans just shake our hands and tell us they would stand with us, that means a lot. >> reporter: you had a lot of supporters and a lot of people go after you. >> we are called killers. people saying we should be locked up and thrown away for murder, keyboard warriors out there just want to slander you, you can literally get canceled with you are a movie star or guys like us. this is very very dangerous what is happening. we are being silenced and being told if you do this we will come after you.

>> reporter: this accusation including by the mayor of new york city who says you purposefully ran down two cops. where are we with that? >> those charges have been dropped. i spoke in front of the grand jury and once they heard what i had to say which was the truth, respect is not given. respect is earned. there's a reason respect nypd is down the block, a recent respect for state troopers took a stand against the governor and against the mayor and said we are not getting involved because it is not right. >> reporter: what has this experience taught you about the power of the government? >> politics creeps into everything. it is not essential but it is essential to provide for my family and government telling me i have to shut down, we will shut down in the name of safety, you have to take care of us,

nobody should be the sacrificial lamb. almost everything i do is because of my kids and i am very very afraid for the world that my kids are going to have to grow up in. >> reporter: one year from now and i having that beer at this bar? >> absolutely. i will kick and i will claw until i can keep going. the first round is on me. i am 100% confident that draft beer will happen a year from now. jillian: this is been a huge story especially in the new york area the past few months and todd is going to be joining us live in the next hour. he will talk about this and give an update on their case but did get new information.
