light streaks. to some of it may have landed in the rocky mountains near canada. that's about it. >> greg: if you're in the ♪ >> we saw cages after cages after cages of little girls, of little boys, lying side by side touching each other. there wasn't a 3-inch space between the children lined up one after the other after the other. pete: it was a heck of a press conference yesterday we begin this fox news weekend, republicans sound the alarm after getting a firsthand look at the border crisis. jedediah: new shocking images coming in after a delegation of g.o.p. senators tour facilities housing migrants. will: video was taken within the past 24 hours within inside a

packed tent. the white house bans the media from going inside the makeshift camp. texas senator ted cruz and john cornyn led the delegation. >> what brings us here now is this immediate humanitarian crisis. the smugglers, the drug runners, they understand our laws and they know how to exploit them to their benefit. >> i'm sorry that they won't allow you to see what we saw. i'm not sure there are words in english to describe it. >> there is a dead body in the water just upstream here. there is nothing humane about that treatment. >> the stories we are hearing are beyond horrifying. not only do we have to save this border, we have got to save this country. >> we are a nation of laws. we are a nation of immigrants. we need to be both, mr. president. >> you need to apologize to those whose job it is to secure the country for making their job

impossible and, most importantly, you need to change. pete: good morning, welcome to "fox & friends" on this saturday. jed and will, there was -- that was one of those press conferences yesterday i was sitting at my desk, the tv was on, i wasn't really watching and then over a period of minutes you could just sense the cadence and you could sense the urgency and started to look up and then i was fixated. not often you see realtime reaction from prominent senators right there on the border who you can feel are viscerally affected by what they saw before their eyes or what they saw the night before. and lay out vividly the relate of policy laid bear before them which others were unable to see. they were almost mocking the reporters in front of them have you seen these things? no, you haven't. because joe biden won't let you. we have seen them. this is the reality. and it stands in very, very stark contrast to joe biden at his press conference, jen psaki

at the podium, effectively stiff arming the press, deputing reality saying this is not a crisis. kamala harris laughing, maybe i will get down there at some point. maybe what you heard from those senators yesterday was the real deal from the ground, jed, and it was powerful. jedediah: yeah, here's the reason why you need to see the images, exactly what we are seeing right now. it's not the same to read about this stuff. it's not to same to read facts and figures and numbers as it is to be inside these facilities looking at what is going on. that's why reporters, to their credit have been fighting to get in there. because there is no way to really bring about change until people actually see what's going on. these images speak for themselves. this is why the conversation needed to happen about prevention. because now that these individuals are here, now that these centers are crowded, what do you do? i don't have an answer to that question at this point. but the administration is going to need to find one and quickly. because these images aren't going away. and joe biden came out in the presser this week, will, and saying something to the effect

of oh, we are going to let reporters in when we have the situation set up the way we want it. i wasn't really sure what he was saying to be perfectly honest that moment. that is unacceptable. this is happening on his watch right now. this is what it looks like. this is what needs to be fixed. will: right there on your screen you can see arrows placed upon the ground on the american side of the border reportedly pointing the way for migrants to find their way to a processing center. i'm glad you both brought up joe biden's press conference because i think the two press conferences are somewhat inexstrict cable from each other. there was a moment in yond's press conference where he was asked if he was going to run for president in 2024 his answer to that was i don't know. i don't know if there will be a republican party. here's why i think that's important. what you are watching on your screen is an illustration of the importance of an oppositional party. the only way we have these images is because there is an oppositional political party to the biden administration. this is not your national media. this is not your press.

this is republican senators, congressman, and shoutout to democratic congressman henry cuellar who are giving us pictures of a reality that an administration will not let the press share with you. you are seeing the importance of a two-party system in politics. by the way, one of those senators, thom tillis, he tweeted the following, the inflow has gotten so bad cbp has put those arrows we just showed you up on the u.s. side of the rio grande directing immigrants to the processing facility. here is a pink the immigrants who just crossed the border following those arrows. jedediah? jedediah: that's exactly right. we talked about the images, the images are going to stir people's hearts and minds the most. people put pressure on senators. people put pressure on representatives to do something. that is going to happen when they see these images. however, take a look at the numbers for a moment.

total southwest border enforcement 2017, 23557, february 2018, 36751, 2019, 76,545, these are all february, february 2020, 36,687, now, february in a good correction what's happening here. i don't know, pete, i wait with baited breath honestly to see what the administration is going to do. because now it's a big problem. now these kids are here, processing centers are flooded. they are opening up new centers around the country, i don't know how many they will be open to open up. i don't know how many individuals be able to manage these. it's a big problem. one thing that needs to be fixed immediately are the conditions. i mean, these people are piled on top of each other in the midst of a pandemic. i don't know how this stays for another minute without them doing something. pete: well, the administration says it's a seasonal thing. the numbers tell a very different story, of course. ultimately you talk to border patrol agents as those senators

did they said returning to remain in mexico policy would be a huge -- would address massively what's going on right now. also, yesterday, you asked about that republican party comment? i gave a bad answer. i would like to recall it from yesterday's show. the reality of joe biden comment is that this is a stronger and more united republican party than we have seen. the only thing not going away is the republican party in large part because it's gathering around rejection of what joe biden is doing right now. we all mentioned the press conference. we will move to another story as well. joe biden gave that press conference, answered ten questions, went for a while. the questions were very, very scripted as far as who they came from. we have got -- there is the president walking in for that press conference. we actually have the cheat sheet joe biden used of reporters, much different than what you would usually see from anyone taking the podium. you have got not only location, and names and descriptions but photos and then numbers written next to them of who is going to get called on on what order. there is one face on that list,

name on that list, position on that list that did not remotely get considered being called on. that was peter doocy from here at the fox news channel. peter doocy had a chance after the press conference where he wasn't called on to press jen psaki at the white house podium as to why fox, you know, is never on the list when it comes to press conferences? take a listen. >> we noticed starting at the end of the campaign and into the transition and here at the white house, any time that the president has an event where he is given a list of reporters to call on, fox is the only member of the five network tv pool that has never been on the list in front of the president. and i am just curious if that is official administration policy. >> we're here having a conversation, aren't we? >> yes. but the president. >> do i take questions from you every time you come to the briefing room. >> yes, i'm talking about the president. >> has the president taken questions from you since he came into office yes or no? >> only when i have shouted

after he goes through his whole list. and the president has been very generous with his time with fox. i'm just curious about this list that he is given. >> i would say i'm always happy to have this conversation with you, even about your awesome socks you are having on today. will: back in college, jedediah and pete we used to watch caddie shack on loop. i don't know how many times i have seen caddie shack. you will get nothing and like it. that right there is brazen. you are talking to me i'm the press secretary. by the way i like your socks, jedediah. jedediah: yeah, i mean it's ridiculous. listen, i want to hear from doocy. i think he does a fantastic job of asking challenging questions. i think what one thing was clear is that they are not going to escape challenging questions. that presser, i was improtected with a lot of the media questions that were asked, particularly with respect to the border. i think that the second that the journalists were told you are not allowed in, it made them very uncomfortable. and that put them in a position where they said hold on a second, you are not letting us could our job.

i anticipate they are going to let a lot of tough questions, whether they choose to call on doocy or not, i believe they should. regardless they are going to get challenging questions and they will have to have answers. a lot of those nonanswers didn't work for reporters. you could sense that vibe in the room as well. pete: hit one more story this morning this from the department of unpopular ideas. the biden administration is putting together a 3 trillion, you heard me right, $3 trillion proposed quote unquote. pete: at minimum. will: excuse me, at minimum $3 trillion infrastructure plan. pete buttigieg has an idea for how this $3 trillion at least in part can be paid for. here is an interesting new tax. listen. >> i think that shows a lot of promise. if we believe in that so-called user pays principle, the idea the part of how we pay for roads is you pay based on how much you drive. the gas tax used to be the obvious way to do it. it's not anymore. so a so-called vehicles miles traveled tax, or mileage tax could be a way to do it.

will: there is buttigieg suggesting what we are talking about putting in place is a tax for every mile you drive. i imagine that will be popular. jedediah: so that and what's odd to me about that typically folks on the left talk about taxing the rich. they isolate that bracket. the 1%. this seems to effect everyone put into place. this could be very regressive in many cases and people -- everybody who has to drive long distances to get to work regardless of how much money you make will be impacted by. this i don't really know who they expect to be raising their hand and saying yes, this is a fantastic idea, go ahead with it. kind of a universally unpopular idea. i would assume. pete: be the death of the road trip. let's just drive. i mean, listen, it's a really dumb idea that makes a lot of sense in think tanks. ultimately everyone would be impacted if they put a tax on is it odometer? odometer? odometer.

so they put something inside, you report it on your taxes. i don't know, either way you are paying. 3, 4, 5, potentially $6 trillion infrastructure bill. air quotes is right and $2 trillion bill they already passed then the other trillion-dollar bill none of which are paid for by taxes but we are going to make up for it on your odometer. that's. will: make up for it in inflation as well by printing money. make no mistake printing money is a tax as well. it lowers the value of your dollar. jedediah: also would be great to see some solutions that will don't involve tax hikes. just a thought. turn to some headlines for you now. beginning a fox news alert. overnight at least two people are shot and killed in virginia beach. police say one woman was killed and 8 others shot near an ocean front resort. while investigating the scene police say an officer shot and killed a suspect believed to be involved in the resort shooting. the victim's injuries range from serious to life threatening. we will continue updates on this

the cancel culture, isn't it? >> cbs saying quote sharon's behavior did not align with our values for a respectful workplace. and those are your headlines. pete? pete: you knew it would end that way. you looked at the story from the beginning, chris harrison, same deal. the minute it moves, done. canceled. gone. can't speak freely anywhere else. that's nice. up next ceo jack dorsey says his platform made a mistake when they blocked hunter biden's will story about emails. just a sign we need political intervention. ♪ anything can happen ♪ anything can happen ♪

>> we made a total mistake with "the new york post." we don't write policy according to any political particular political leaning, this was a processor, this was not against them in any particular way. pete: twitter ceo jack dorsey knitting his platform's decision to block the bombshell "new york post" about hunter biden's emails with a as total mistake, just a process error. the post account was locked for more than two weeks on that process error as twitter accused them of using hacked information in the piece. here to react from the post editorial board and author of the book "the unbroken thread" subtitled the wisdom of tradition in the age of chaos. i love that. so rob ahmari, thank you for being here. i appreciate it can you take it straight face when jack dorsey says it was a two week processing error. i don't know if we are delivering mail by stage coast

that's when two weakerrers take place. it doesn't take that long. what do you take of this admission of a mistake. >> how convenient after he tells us after president biden has been safely sworn in and we have polling from the media research center suggesting that one in six biden voters might have changed their votes had they known about our hunter files reporting. no, this apology in some ways is more infuriating because we knew that we hadn't posted hacked material, we knew that we had what we said we had, which was hunter's emails and hunter and his father have yet to dispute the authenticity of any of the stuff we brought forth. to callthis a process error as h your computer hung up and we were dealing with it for two weeks and that's why you wouldn't access your twitter account or reach your readers is outrageous. actually rubbing salt in our wounds. pete: you are right, it's actually worse. had they attempted to at least make a coherent case as to what

their policy was and who the person was that did it and what the thoughtful process that they grappled with, instead, they are like no, we dismissed the file. we at any time see it. big national conversation. huge newspaper, massive implications, just an error. >> yeah. you know, newspaper founded by alexander hamilton, the oldest continuously published daily in our country got censored. and, as you said, the nature of the faceless, nameless brewer democrats doing it in some ways i have to say reminds me of china, like in china, if you are an internet user and you go on social media, there is an army of faceless, nameless, communist who are trolling the website to make sure you don't read anything that you are not supposed to read. now, in our case, it's done by private actors, but i don't think that distinction really makes a difference if, again, alexander hamilton's newspaper can be censored for two weeks. this is why i think it's very important for lawmakers not to

lose sight of what they were talking about during the hunter biden controversy, which is we need some political action to rein in big tech. our rights, our freedom of speech is dying on these platforms and the fact that they're owned by private corporations shouldn't hinder. pete: he doesn't have to nor key name the name if he wanted to. real quick, we only have a moment. have you found any evidence of any left winger or any democrat that was victim of a process error recently, ever, at twitter? >> ever, ever, never. i have never heard of that. you know all those -- all those stories, anti-trump stories that turned out to be false, not one of them was a victim of process error resulting in censored. pete: not once and they say it sohrab, thank you. pete: businesses finally getting a chance to reopen, now there is a new problem bloated

reopen their doors after pandemic lockdowns, they are running into a new problem, bloated unemployment benefits are actually hurting their ability to get employees back to work. john michael is the owner of rocking taco in georgia. he is seeing the problem firsthand and joins us now. john michael thank you for being here. i love that restaurant name by the way it's pretty cool. thank you for joining us this morning. let's ask you, what has been the implication on your business to these long-term unemployment benefits that people are receiving. >> thank you very much for having me. as we are opening back up, we are starting to see that people have been patiently waiting to get back out and they are excited to get back out but that also means that we are seeing an influx of people that need to be taken care of as guests when they come to the restaurant. it's been impossible to find someone that would like to work. red jed so what do you think as a business owner in what should be done here? obviously you are going to have a lot of people coming out and saying that many suffered as a

result of the pandemic as a result of government shutdowns, of the economy, of businesses so those unemployment benefits are needed. so you have to weigh the two things. what would be your proposed solution as a business owner right now? >> one i agree that people do need the money to make sure that they can get all their bills paid and make sure they have food on the table but at some point after the stimulus checks have gone out, people are making more on unemployment than we would be able to pay them to come off of unemployment. so, the biggest thing that we have seen is that people don't want to work for the money when they can make just as much or more sitting in their house so at some point, i think it's supposed to expire in september but that's the end of the summer. that's after all the rush has come in. so, it needs to be some kind of plan where we slowly roll back these unemployment benefits so it forces people to say, hey, we are pack open. it's time to get back to work. jedediah: yeah, that's an important conversation that

we're having right now about whether we are disincentivizing work and what the implications of that will be long term. one thing that's really interesting about your bioto me is that you are also a financial adviser. would you be able to speak to a little bit what your seeing from that angle in terms of what people are actually doing with stimulus money when it gets in their hands? are they spending it? are they investigating it? investing it. >> investing it. a lot of people didn't need it or weren't expecting it and all of a sudden they get a stimulus check in their checking account so, therefore, they are reinvesting it. they are putting it into the stock market and some of these -- different game stops and things like that. that's the number one call we get is hey can we get on some of these hot stocks and that's not the way it works. less people are putting the money into the economy which is what the purpose of it was. but more people are definitely using it to invest in their savings. that's definitely i have seen.

>> do you have any advice to people finally from the perspective of a business owner? we have had a lot of business owners on the show who struggled and we can all understand why through the pandemic. but advice to them from a business perspective and a financial adviser perspective right now in these difficult times as the economy starts to reopen and people have some trepidation about what to do and how to approach it because they are not sure what's coming down the pike in the next few months? >> oh, i mean, absolutely. every business owner is walking on egg shells because they don't know if there is more money coming to help them or if it is going to be the end of it or if they just need to open back up without limitations. we are waiting on that with the state of georgia which i feel we are very close. the biggest thing is to hold on. i feel like interest is a lot of people understanding of the situation that a lot of people are going through. hold on, try to find the employees, try to make the guest he is happy when they come in. but it's -- i feel like we are getting to the end, so don't give up on us now.

>> we have an army of tv cameras here. it's striking that not a single one of these cameras is allowed in the donna facility. the trump administration had allow media inside facilities like that. the obama administration, the george w. bush administration had. the bill clinton administration had. but the biden administration wants to hide what is going on here. and the biden administration sent down political handlers to try to keep silent, to try to keep the american people not knowing what's going on. will: senator ted cruz describing the media blackout inside border facilities. the next guest has been on the ground getting a firsthand look at the crisis. >> we have been here since 1:00 in the morning. it's 2:30 now. we have already seen over 125 migrants apprehended. this is another massive group now. and they are headed towards the border patrol officials down there who have already

apprehended over 100 individuals. pete: joining us now with update from the reporter is jorge ventura. thank you very much for being thoor morning. open-ended question. what are you seeing? is it as bad as those senators professed from the podium yesterday? >> yes. it's indeed a crisis of border patrol here in texas and all across the southern border has their hands full i arrived here wednesday as soon as i arrived in the airport in mcallen migrants were being flown out. when i checked into my hotel migrants were staying at the hotel i was staying at. we went to report la jolla, texas, which is about 20 minutes from mcallen still in southern texas. and the few hours that i was on the ground reporting, over 300 migrants were apprehended on wednesday night. and one thing that we noticed reporting on the ground that these migrants wanted border patrol to apprehend them.

we rab into migrant groups can you point us in the direction of border patrol. one thing we are also seeing here is the situation is so bad that the national guard is involved with texas state troopers as well as the border patrol all working hand in hand to deal with this influx. something i have never seen before here on the ground and the crisis is as bad as they are saying. only reporting three hours on wednesday, and 300 migrants apprehended. ran into a group of 130 migrants apprehended and it a crisis and on deck here in texas. jedediah: jorge, media access is being denied inside these facilities which is unfathomable to many of us. listen to joe biden telling nbc news kristen welker that the media is going to get in, he just doesn't know when. take a listen. >> will you commit to allowing journalists to have access to the facilities that are overcrowded moving forward? >> i will commit when my plan very shortly is underway.

>> just to be clear, how how soon will that be, mr. president? >> i don't know, to be clear. jedediah: unacceptable answer, jorge, what is the strategy. the images are leaking out. you have g.o.p. senators, ted cruz posted a bunch of images. they are out there. now it just looks like the biden administration is trying to keep people out because they don't want people to see the truth. what is the political strategy here at this point? >> well, right now, you know, speaking from aside from the press, we are just trying to put as much pressure as we can facilities. transparency. just a few days ago joe biden tapped kamala harris to lead the crisis here at the southern border. still unclear when kamala harris is going to visit the border, there is still no said date. when reporters actually asked her if she was going to visit. she actually kind of laughed and said not today. this is actually like i said a real crisis. it's going on in realtime border patrol, it has all their handful

and they need as much help as they can. they have been building emergency migrant overflow shelters here in texas to deal with the influx. i know dallas convention center opened up space for unaccompanied marions, still unclear when biden is going to come it. seems like there is no urgency from the administration to come see the problem in realtime. we still haven't heard anything about it. will: jorge, the description of what you are witnessing down there, certainly defies the line we have heard over the last couple of days. i don't know if you have noticed this. over the last couple of days, democrats, jen psaki, joe biden saying nothing unnormal here this is a normal seasonal surge not a crisis. how are they rationalizing that not only do we have the stats which we flashed up on the screen on february surges throughout the years. we have eyewitness testimony in your own reporting. how do you think they are rationalizing sayings it's seasonal and normal? >> i think right now they are trying to really kind of go into this stunt where they are trying to calm down the flames. but like i said the crisis is

real. it's happening all across the southern border. last month we saw 100,000 apprehended. one key thing that border patrol mentioned to me here he said jorge, the big issue here is also the number of got aways, those are the migrants not apprehended. these are the migrants we don't have any information on and don't know anything about these individuals. just in the huma, arizona, out of that tucson sector i was speaking to border patrol. he says year-to-date they are expecting over 40,000 migrants came into the country with absolutely no information. and there was a border down near arizona declared a state of emergency they cannot handle the migrants dropped off into their town. right now, like i said, it's odd to see like there is no urgency from this administration when they are asked about this and they don't even have a set date when they're going to come -- will: no emergency and in fact denial. i believe that's heel hilo bend that you are talking about.

will: when protests turned to riots in st. louis last summer retired police captain david dorn died defending his friend's business from looters. for his bravery captain done will be posthumously awarded the single act of heroism award congressional act of honor and captain done's widow ann done

joins me now. good morning to you. so happy to have you with us. so, when you heard that david would receive this citizens award from the congressional medal of honor society, what was your reaction? >> well, good morning, will. i was speechless. i was humbled by it. i was extremely honored that he is going to be receiving this award. i know not many receive it. and to find out that dave was awarded this great honor just floored me, really. it's a bittersweet moment. will: senator from missouri josh hawley said david dorn was protecting his community even after he retired from law enforcement. and last moments with us his character represents the absolute best of missouri and this country. there is another quote as i was reading this story, ann, that caught my attention. it was a quote from you talking about david gave his life for a

friend. he gave his life serving the community. he died doing what he loved. would you tell us that night as david made a choice to go out and protect his friend's business and protect the community that he lived in, how did it unif he would for you? what choices were made? >> >> they had been riding, pretty much early in the day they started earlier protesting and by 8:00 it had started turning to riot i had finished my shift. still listening to the radio. because i wanted to see what was happening out there. i learned four of my officers had been shot around midnight while protecting the seven lesson which was being burned down. i, unfortunately, went to bed after that. because i had to be up early in the morning to return to work. so, when david got the call at 2:00 in the morning, i wasn't aware of the phone call he had received. i didn't know he left the house.

normally he would wake me up and tell me i'm leaving, i'm heading over to lee's the alarm is going off, but he didn't wake me up that morning. will: it's such an appropriate, i guess is the right word, ann, award. it's the citizens award for making choices the kind that you began to describe for us right there. to protect a friend, to protect your community, to answer a call, an alarm when it goes off. it's absolutely, as senator hawley said the reflection of the type of citizen we want to see out there in our society. and i can only imagine, yes, the grief, but the pride you feel today in david receiving this award. >> oh, yes. immense pride. he would have been humbled and very honored by this. i could see him smiling right now, you know, like, no, i don't deserve this. that would be his reaction. but, yes, he does deserve this.

will: of course, ann, sorry for your loss. proud for the award and proud to have people like david dorn who are walking around in the american public and in our society, you know, throughout his lifetime. thank you for your time this morning, ann. >> thank you, will. will: more "fox & friends" coming up.

pete: welcome back. for the last two weeks, more than 1 million passengers have gone through tsa, suffered through tsa checkpoints every day. will: talking to one of them right here. airlines are predicting a summer travel boom though as the nation's first vaccine passport come to new york. what do you need to know before you book the travel?

jedediah: kurt the cyberguy joins us from los angeles international airport. people here vaccine passport? sounds a little wild. give us the latest. >> yeah. it is right here. jedediah, good morning to you. pete and will, welcome to los angeles international airport. we're actually the first flight of the day will take off at about 40 manipulates from here. here -- minutes from here. here is the deal travel out of this country as well as getting around inside of this country. new york was one of the first excels your pass. and then you have a whole slew of other health passes that we're going to see grow and grow and grow. but the big problem is there is no standardization when you want to go to europe and want a standardized pass. this country doesn't have that. american is using right now one that they use called verify fly. i'm in may they will start using

that so i won't have to spend that money of $170, 250 bucks just to get a covid test to prove three days before i travel that i don't have covid and that i am indeed vaccinated. these are really promising technologies. the u.s. is really late to the game on this one. but, i will say, in terms of travel, it is cooking. it is heating up. summer bookings up 60% including to an app. called hopper that tracks travel bookings and also showing up at airports just like you were saying 239,000 people a year ago last thursday compared to about 1.4 million people -- i'm sorry 1.4 million people last thursday. 239,000 people a year ago thursday. a lot of people are hitting the road. i have also signed on book my mother a trip to italy. the cost was remarkably low. the travel for later in the year, september, october, we're rolling the tice, why?

because this wednesday will be the last day for most major carriers for you to book a trip that's nonrefundable, non-changeable and be able to change that if your plans change without incurring a fee. so now's the time to peculiar that travel but you have got keep your eye on the ball that you unplug it if things aren't opened up where you wanted to go. pete: real quick, a lot of us have been flying this entire time. we are thankfully moving toward the back end of covid-19, at least the initial vaccines, natural immunity, are passports going to be mandatory? are you going to need one of those to travel? >> i think you're going to see it to go into buildings, to go into venues. certainly to travel. once you get to the destination to go into the site, yes, the answer there. pete: wow. will: wow. pete: there might be resistance to that we will see how far and wide. really, i mean, absolutely. kurt the cyber phi though, thanks for breaking it down for us. all right, still ahead, president trump is reportedly so

>> president biden and vice president harris need to come down here. >> we do have an open border. >> we saw cages after cages after cages of little girls, of little boys. jedediah: we begin this hour with a fox news alert. republicans tour the southern border for a firsthand look at the crisis. will: new shocking video reveals extreme overcrowding of migrants. pete: this video was taken in the last 24 hours as the number of children in federal custody jumps to nearly 1,000 and the length of time well beyond the parameters of what is deemed acceptable. welcome to this 7:00 a.m.

eastern time edition of "fox & friends" on this saturday morning. i'm joined by jed and will. and we are glad that you are here. one of these mornings where we were sitting here talking there is so much news and different aspects and angles to news we are struggling to make sure we get to everything. we will do the best we can. we start south of the border because, jed, that press conference yesterday was unlike most you see, most are very scripted. they are very staged. you know, passions are a bit measured. there it was almost a couple dozen senators right there on the border, fresh back from seeing it firsthand. viscerally impacted by the images they have seen and almost taunting the reporters in front of them saying, you know, we saw what you can't because the administration won't let you see it. and it is racked and stacked. buildings meant for a couple of hundred people are housing a couple thousand kids in what would be classified under donald trump as cages. but, of course, we can't use that term anymore because it's compassionate if it's joe biden

and they say there is nothing compassionate about this and it was all because policies changed on day one that said -- that sent a signal america is open. we will even put arrows for you. come on in. jedediah: and how could you not be viscerally impacted when you see these images? i'm feel that impact here. and saying this from new york, i'm not even on the ground there these individuals went out there, and you have to give a lot of credit to the g.o.p. senators who knew that there was a problem here and who also knew that journalists weren't being allowed to do their job. so they needed to get down there and they needed to show people visually what's happening to make people feel like, hey, we need to do something. we need to make phone calls. we need to pressure our lawmakers. this is not a sustainable situation. this is a heart-breaking situation. i mean, look at these people. they are piled on top of each other. its despicable the conditions. i do think it's sad though that they were forced to do that, these g.o.p. senators.

that they were forced to go down there and expose this because the media is not being allowed in boy the administration and the administration is not giving answers, will. will: pete, you said if these images emerged under a trump administration it would undoubtedly be characterized as cages. you are right. i would also suggest that these images emerged spring break from a red state or during an american football game or during a trump rally they would undoubtedly be called super spreader events as well. instead, what we are seeing is not enough to amount to a crisis according to the biden administration. i asked you during our morning meeting how do you rationalize that? how do they rationalize saying this is normal, seasonal? this isn't a big deal? how do they look at those numbers and make that work? there really isn't a good answer for how they're able to explain this away as a normal seasonal surgeon. i asked by the way a daily caller reporter who has been spending time down there on the southern border, jorge ventura what he sees and whether or not it's real. >> as soon as i actually arrived to the airport in mcallen,

migrants are actually being flown out. when i checked into my hotel migrants were staying at the hotel i was staying at. the few hours i was on the ground reporting, over 300 migrants were apprehended on wednesday night and one thing that we noticed while reporting on the ground that these migrants actually wanted border patrol to apprehend them. we actually ran into migrant groups that told us hey can you point us in the direction of border patrol? this is actually like i said a real crisis. it's going on in realtime. border patrol, it has all their hands full and they need as much help as they can. it's vetoed see like there is no urgency from this administration when they are asked about this, and they don't even have a set day when they're going to come down to the border. pete: will, i don't know they will be able to rationalize it much locker. >> usually count on the cover of the democrat friendly press do the work for them. in this case if you are being blocked you have a professional obligation to try to get in and tell a story. which maybe creates a tiny incentive for these reporters who should have one anyway to maybe report the honesty of what is happening at the border.

usually items can say what they want and reports it at fact. senator lindsey graham was one of the senator at the press conference. he called out the fact that the woman in charge of the border response kamala harris the vice president doesn't have a plan to visit. listen. >> the border patrol said there is no toned. this vice president harris, this is your job to fix. i promise you i will work with you but you cannot possibly understand your job unless you come here. the last thing we're going to do is introduce a resolution praising the men and women or the border patrol and the customs department. i have been to iraq and afghanistan 56 times. our soldiers serve in incredibly tough conditions. what we are asking the men and women of the border patrol to do is inhumane. jedediah: so this is a key point about vice president kamala harris because there has been a lot of confusion about what her role will actually be? what is she in charge of? what is she not in charge of.

symone sanders, senior advisor and spokesperson for v.p. harris weighed in on her role. i will reiterate that the vice president is not doing the border. president biden asked the vice president to take on the diplomatic efforts to address the root causes of my foreign relation. this is not work that will be addressed overnight. this is a challenging situation but it's diplomatic work that needs to be done. here the excuse seems to be that she is in charge of migration stemming the migration at the southern border. this is a long conversation. we're going to get to the root of cause of it. that doesn't really change for me though the fact that she should be there and see what's happening. because there is an -- the incentive to stop this is to look at what's happening. and i think if you are going to be in any leadership capacity with respect to any aspect of the border, anything that relates to border security or relates to the current conditions that you see on the ground there, you have got to go and see it. and at least show your face and have these conversations with people who are dealing with this day to day. i just don't find that to be a

valid excuse that was represented right there. will: actually, actually, i think it's beginning to make some sense to me, jedediah. i, too, was confused by the phrase the vice president is not doing the border. so she is not focusing on what's happening at the southern border. she is rather going to focus on the root causes of the migration. now i'm beginning to get it. you see, if kamala harris can explain to people central america the same way that she has planed to americans that american is inherently racist, unjust place, where people walk around maskless at all times and it's a very dangerous place, if she can just explain to central americans the same way she has explained to americans that this is an awful place, she might be able to stem the tide of migration. in fact, we might have a perfect match on our hands, folks. we might have the perfect ambassador to stem migration. somebody else might go to the southern border in jason miller who is on the michael barry show said it will be former president trump. listen to this. >> joe biden stood on that debate stage with the democrats

and even reiterated his belief in the general election saying that he supported citizenship for 11 million undocumented folks. well, guess what? that's like putting up a signal flare of fourth of july fire work proportions to the entire western hemisphere for everyone who wants to come to the united states to come. do you foresee the president making a visit? >> you know, we discussed that recently. i could see him doing that soon. i think president trump wanted to let joe biden go and fail on his own before he goes and steps in on that. i think there is a very fine line between calling someone out on the policies and then appearing to do something that's show boating. not immediately, but i could see a trip at some point in the future here. but it is something that president trump is really concerned about. pete: will, such an important point. we will see if the president goes down there. certainly he will continue to reiterate that his policies have been successful in stemming this tide. and were actually humanitarian in the process. the point he made is such a good one. it's the same democrats who

think that america is systemically racist that our doors should be wide open and should come. don't understand why everyone wants to come to the country so evil and so systemically racist. let's stick with that word racist for a second on another story. because recently you have heard both the president, the vice president, and senate democrats talk about how the filibuster, that senate institution is racist. ultimately. and but a lot of people are pushing back and saying well, if that's what you think, then how complicit have you been in racism for so many years and not that long ago? let's listen to senator joe biden and then senator joe biden talk about some calls in 2005 to end the filibuster. listen to this. oh, it's a read. sorry. all right. it's not only a bad idea. it upsets the constitutional design and it disservices the country. no longer would the senate be that different kind of legislative body that the founders intended. no longer would the senate be the saucer to cool the passions of the immediate majority. so joe biden in 2005, whether

george w. bush was the president, said no, no, no, we have got to have the filibuster. very important, will. will: that's interesting. in 2005 it wasn't racist in '21 it is racist. i can do you one better. 020 was it racist one year ago? pete: couldn't have been. will: use of the filibuster, 327 times by democrats was the filibuster used once by republicans. things sure do turn racist fast, jedediah. jedediah: that's unbelievable. mitch mcconnell the majority leader and it's not racist then. jedediah: i almost fell out of my chair when i saw that number, 327 times? i mean, can you guys even -- i can't even imagine the need to use something 327 times in one year. regardlesss, the point is valid. either it's racist or it's not. it can't be racist conveniently when you need it racist get rid of it and suddenly it's not racist when you need to utilize it. political hypocrisy, make up your mind.

really, look at that 327 times? that's just an astounding number. >> regardless, senator tim scott weighed in on all of this. he bleased biden and blasted democrats for this flip flop pretty obvious at this point based on the stats and footage we have seen. let's take a listen to what tim scott had to say. >> here's what we know about the democrats. they were for the filibuster before they were against the filibuster. i keep asking myself will the real chuck schumer please stand up? is it the one who was for the filibuster or is it the new one who is now against filibuster? you did a great job, brian, bringing to the surface president obama and now president biden's comments about their support, their support of the filibuster but now, of course, they use the word racist whenever they are trying to scare people into their corner. it has nothing to do with race. but they don't care. winning at all cost means losing at some point. will: i just want to make two quick points if i might. first of all, the filibuster is a boring word.

inherently a boring concept. but it's not boring in real life. it's about whether or not there will be any checks of power on power for one political party in this case the democrats. it's one of the protection mechanisms against absolute one party political rule. second, when joe biden said during his press conference that these types of things doing away with the filibuster, or voter rights act, are jim eagle, nobody knew what he was talking about. what he meant is eagles are bigger than crows, jim eeg is bigger than jim crow, pete, what he is saying is the filibuster or voter i.d. is worse than two drinking fountains for different races. it's worries than segregation, that's what he is saying. pete: of course. this is steam rolling across the board. the left is moving at ferocious speed. you can't see the border. all right. even though it's wide open. we are not going to call on fox. don't hesitate to overturn a certified election in iowa. hr 1 change elections forever. now the filibuster. first it was great. just last year it was so great it was 300 times great. now it's racist. and they will call you that to

oppose it it's because they have an agenda to ram through right now. it's crazy. all right. turning now to your headlines, starting with a fox news alert. right now, an urgent manhunt is underway after a texas state trooper is shot on a highway. police say the trooper is fighting for his life in critical condition. this suspect, arthur pinson jr. is considered armed and dangerous. multiple law enforcement agencies are assisting with the manhunt. can you say manhunt anymore? the former centers for disease control director says he believes covid-19 came from a lab in wuhan, china and starred spreading as early as the fall of 2019. dr. redfield's theory contradicts the world health organization after a team of experts said the virus leaking from the chinese lab was, quote extremely unlikely the the who team made the conclusion last month after investigating the origins of covid-19 based on information spoon fed them by the communist chinese.

those are your headlines. will: that's a huge story. that's huge. pete: it's one of those stories wish when we more time to cover this morning but we don't because there are so many stories. jedediah: fascinating that people now are allowed. i try to follow the stories we are allowed to ask questions on and when we are allowed to ask those questions. apparently okay to ask those questions and now it's not clearly. fighting cancel culture on campus. former wisconsin governor scott walker is stepping up to bring free speech back to higher education. scott walker lays out his own battle for the soul of america. that's next ♪ how do you like me now ♪ how do you like me now ♪ how do you like me now ♪ remember the time ♪ when i ♪

every aspect of culture, i don't know where it started and how it ends. >> well, we really are under siege here in america. it's not just as you were talking about on our southern border with the border crisis. we see it with our campuses. we see it in our culture, will, as you mentioned and even seeing it in communications with the censorship from big tech. this goes all the way back to sole lens ski back in the 1960s, the left has had a long-term plan we need to encounter it not just be engage in the battle of the day but have a long game plan and that's exactly what we are talking about, people want a copy of it yaf.org slash long game. we will send you a free copy of that 12 point action plan. we have got to take action and start now and think ahead for the long game. will: take a look at bullet points for the long game and lay them out. put them up on the screen there establish a presence on each college campus in america. hold schools accountable in court for free speech violations. fight indoctrination in middle schools and create other

incredible and i asked him if it was okay if i mentioned it today on fox that when his son was training, eric was training, they would say listen, if you are in a situation, they, the police, and you are by yourself, you have to wait, you should wait for backup before you go in. and try to help whomever. and he said to his dad, i don't know if i could do that. this is obviously before march 22nd when he gave his life. he says i don't know if i can do that knowing that there is people that need my immediate help and do you know what? that's exactly what he did. he went right in there to save others. and it's incredible. he is an incredible hero. jedediah: that's incredible testimony as to who he was as a person. i know, you know, frank, you come in and you meet these families at such times testimony of your own personal experience what they are going through. lift them up in times they need

racing toward our. those migrant us are not running away from border patrol officers. they are running to the border patrol officers because they know and their smugglers and traffickers know that they can game our asylum system. they can be released into the country in a matter of days sometimes in a matter of hours and they will never have to go pack to their home country. will: g.o.p. lawmakers touring the border yesterday where they witnessed a shocking scene inside the child migrant facilities. >> new york congresswoman claudia tenney just got a firsthand look herself and she joins us now live from el paso, texas. congresswoman, thank you so much for being here. you have been down to the border. i don't believe you were on that particular delegation, but you were on a similar one. what have you seen at the border? what's your biggest take away? >> this is definitely humanitarian crisis. i saw, you know, there are so many issues. we also went to the wall, the so-called barrier because the border patrol has been conditioned not to use the term

wall because that sounds like donald trump and the reason biden changed these policies was because they were good policies put in place by none other than donald trump to secure the border, to make it a humane condition. i saw a huge overcrowding with children everywhere at the border. but i have to say i agree with an earlier statement i saw from lindsey graham, what is being done to our border patrol to put them in such an overstressed situation to try to handle these children? it is unbelievable the amount of compassion and the real care for these children but trying to deal in almost impossible situation with so many children coming across the border and as senator cotton referred to human trafficking, human smugglers are making millions off these children and not to mention the illicit drugs and they also told me that there were people come from 39 different countries that they had encountered is the term they used. coming across the border. i was at the el paso station,

which is the second largest border crossing area on our southern border. i know where the senators were is probably the largest. i was at the second largest zone. this is a tragedy. and it's all because of the policies coming from the white house right now. jedediah: congresswoman, not only do we see the absence of media because they haven't -- journalists have not been allowed to could their job and go in there and show people what's going on. you have also had an absence of leadership there. president biden has not been there. vice president kamala harris is not necessarily going there any time in the near future. so, what you see is a just position of these g.o.p. senators who are making this their priority to go down there and show people what's going on and trying to fix this. and juxtapose that with a current administration that seems largely absent on the issue. what are your thoughts on that? >> i don't think they really care. i will tell you this. the border patrol really wants to tell us everything that's happening because they want solutions to the problem. they told us as much as they could tell us, under the

constraints of where the administration controls, you know, they are in power right now. this is a federal agency and other federal agencies are working with them. you know, the border patrol is doing the best they can. their job is to patrol the border, which has blank, inefficiencies, and we saw tons of border wall that was laying in stacks that hadn't been put together because we do not have the resource -- or they have been cut off. you know, the biden administration using executive order said no, done -- finished with the wall. we are not going to complete it. and so this is causing problems for them as well. every place that you don't complete the wall, you cause another problem for the border patrol in trying to capture people that are coming across and many of these people, you know, people that don't understand a lot of these people are in peril. they are being in positions where if you go into dessert conditions, it's dangerous. it's cold in some cases. it's dry. there is no water right now. so this is a real tragedy.

and i just -- i think the biden administration doesn't really care. i think their mission is to allow these people to come across the border. get into the country, some of them, you know, 9 processing is hard. another issue that i think is really important that people don't realize is that the amount of covid-19 positive patients is seven or eight times the number that you are seeing in the country already. so, while the democrats are trying to lock down our country and protect us from the covid-19 virus, you have got these people coming in with covid-19 and they are positive. will: in the time we have left, congresswoman, i want to ask you about this stunning whiplash inducing news story hypocrisy. and that is we have talked about congresswoman miller-meeks and the democratic challenges to her certified election something similar going on in new york with your election. tell us about what's going on with your seat in congress. >> the democrat are trying to raise some type of civil rights claim which is not the case in my race. everyone knows the longest race,

i didn't get even sworn in until february 11th. what they are trying to do is overturn the election by, you know, executive action coming from the doj, the department of justice. there is no such case. the judge in my case didn't stop with procedural evidence. we counted every legal ballot and the democrats finally gave up because every legal ballot was counted and i kept gaining more vote. we have got to hold them accountable. this is not a civil rights issue. this is an issue. i hate to compare it to the border because it's such a humanitarian crisis, but if you are willing to put people in government in such a difficult position where they can't do their jobs, you will have chaos. and the kind of chaos the trafficking that we saw from the democrats in my race and what they are trying to do with hr 1 is another kind of trafficking that they are engaging in that is putting undo and unfair stress on our system and it will undermine our democracy. jedediah: congresswoman claudia tenney, thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you.

jedediah: we're going to turn to some headlines for you now this hour. new hunter biden texts reveal the secret service was involved in the 2018 missing gun case. biden writing in part, when the police, the fbi, the secret service came on the scene, she said she took it from me because she was scared i would harm myself. the president's son says his late brother's wife threw the gun in a garbage can behind a wilmington delaware grocery store. the white house maintains the secret service was not involved. and three florida officers are hailed as heroes for saving a woman's life after her car overturned in a pond. after losing control of her car and crashing, the woman reportedly called 911 as water flooded her car. all three officers were quick to respond, diving into the water to help. they were able to open the passenger door and get the woman out as water filled the vehicle. she went home uninjured. and check this out. nasa's orion space craft

[laughter] pete: rick, you are cool, too. pete: within there and done that raise the bar. rick: more severe weather coming. look at averages of tornadoes per month. already above the argue that you would see in a march. when we do see activity in march this is generally where it is can a lot of the areas of the deep south. another threat of that again today. be very, very careful. it's going to be areas say

pete: new social studies standards for k through 12. under review and facing criticism. the updated benchmarks they are calling them teaching first

graders but systemic racism in high school calling out the evils of whiteness, capitalism and christianity. joining me now with her reaction former professor dr. carol swain. dr. swain, thank you so much for being here. it was wonderful to see you a couple days ago working on a fox nation project. we spoke to you at length and reminded me how wise you are on these issues. we want to get your take on this as well. here is part of the benchmarks first grade. one from first grade and one from ninth grade. learn to recognize unfairness stereotypes and bias on the individual level and in justice at the institutional or systemic level. that's first grade. by ninth grade, we are bashing, get, this describe the tactic used by the u.s. government to claim indigenous mexican land including but not limited to the analysis of the ideology of manifest destiny and relationship to whiteness, christianity and capitalism. so, dr. swain, they are talking about christianity now in schools just to bash it. >> well, true. and i think that every american should be concerned because what

happens in minnesota and california and illinois will find its way, you know, to your state and it is introducing young children to complex ideas before they can develop critical thinking skills and so clearly they are being indoctrinated you know at the k-12 level. and it is a progressive agenda that advances, you know, secular humanist ideology. it teaches them, in many cases, about other religion to practice, other religions that go against christianity. and i don't think we should stand by idly and allow that to happen. we know federalism states can do what they want. but what's happening now is a national move. pete: such a great point. young people bruised to theories too complex for them to develop. they don't have critical thinking yet.

that's the definition of indoctrination. now the state says this is not the curriculum yet. there will be a review. but if this is where they are starting certainly indication of exactly where they want to go. i have got to get your take on another story as well out of oakland. oakland is proposing sending $500 a month to low income residents but only if you are black. not if you are white. so based purely on race. here is part of the announcement that cage from the ceo of it, listen. >> the oakland [inaudible] designed to tackle the existing racial income gap. we know that the oakland equity index families of color experience the greatest income disparities in the city. this pilot is built on legacy guaranteed income has been a goal of the black panther platform since its founding. pete: carol, we are so woke that now we are going pack to deciding based on your race who gets money? >> you know, i hate to call people names but i want to say

that they are idiots, you know, running these programs in these cities because it's clear to me and anyone that has looked at the law that this would be a violation of the civil rights laws that we have on the books as well as the equal protection clause and so they can put these programs in place. they will survive until there is a lawsuit that goes before a judge that follows the law. pete: scariest part is the mindset there that put it there in the first place. what is the mindset, real quick, that justifies this sort of reverse racism? >> what i would just say that the colleges and universities have turned out people who can't think. it is reverse racism. back in the 1980s we laughed when white people said they were being discriminated against. now we see the discrimination and i think every american has to fight against it. pete: you wrote the book on it. dr. carol swain, thank you so much for your time this morning. we appreciate it. >> thank you. pete: all right. still ahead, nascar will look a

children. this is our only way of seeing the true as the white house bans the media from going inside the makeshift camp. ted cruz and john cornyn leading the delegation. >> what brings us here now is this immediate humanitarian crisis, the smugglers, the drug runners, they understand our laws and they know how to exploit them to their benefit. >> i'm sorry that they won't allow you to see what we saw. i'm not sure there are words in english to describe it. >> there was a dead body in the water just upstream here. there is nothing humane about that treatment. >> the stories we are hearing are beyond horrifying. not only do we have to save this border, we have got to save this country. >> we're a nation of laws. we are a nation of immigrants. we need to be both. >> mr. president, you knead to apologize to those who whose job it is to secure the country from

making their jobs impossible and, most importantly, you need to change. will: from that senate delegation, visiting the border, images have emerged that give us a true look inside what's happening at the southern border. good morning, welcome to "fox & friends," will cain, pete hegseth and jedediah bila. it is fascinating that these images from the southern border flashing across your screen right now with children, that close together, under those foil blankets often crammed thousands to holding pins that were supposed to hold hundreds signals, arrows, left on the ground to point migrants in the u.s. to processing centers were emanating from a sitting delegation not from the national media. in short it requires to you have a government pass to go down and see what is real and happening at our border. pete: a stunning part of that press conference, will, was the way in which the republican senators almost mocked the press

saying have you seen this? have you been inside that facility? no, you haven't, because you are not allowed. the job you are supposed to be allowed to do that you could do under trump, under obama, you are not allowed to see here because the kids that are in the cages are under the biden administration and it's not trump, even though they were built under obama. we can't confuse that narrative. we have a cozy narrative the white house wants to push that this is all very humanitarian for all the right reasons and what it actually is the facilitation of illegality. it's the incentive to cross our border, hop it illegally, pointing arrows in the right direction as you talked about, will, and claudia, tenney, i know we are about to play a sound piety from her, jedediah, i don't know if it will include this or not, she was there and she said ultimately i don't care they really care. imagine that statement. i don't think they really care. a lot of those senators at the press conference also hinted at maybe the real motivation is the borders are open and they know it and that's the way it's supposed to be because these young kids are future voters and

they -- and that's ultimately the end state they're looking to hoping the press will look the other way which so far they don't have a choice to do otherwise because they can't see it. jedediah: you know, it seems to me there is two immediate reasons why the vice president and the president are not going down there. one is because they know the cameras will go with them. right? there is no way to avoid that. if the president goes somewhere, there is no way that you can then say media is not allowed access that would be under the circumstances turley and completely absurd. the other reason is once they go down there they have to acknowledge what is actually happening. and not only that they will have seen it with their own eyes, other people will be watching them see it with their own eyes. it's just different from having that removed distant conversation about it from washington, d.c., far, far far away from where these things are actually going on. i think it puts him front and center in a way that he has not been before. he should be front and center. he is the president of the united states but he has been somehow able to avoid that thus far. needless to say they need to get down there and now. it is the early ridiculous that

you have g.o.p. congress men and women and g.o.p. senators down there taking videos and showcasing them. the person in charge of the country right now is nowhere to be seen in those locations. we spoke with representative claudia tenney. that is one of those congresswomen who was there and saw what was going on with her own eyes and she describes the scene to us. take a listen. >>this is definitely a humanitarian crisis. i saw a huge overcrowding with children everywhere. what is being done to our border patrol to put them in such an overstressed situation to try to handle these children it is unbelievable the amount of compassion and the real care for these children but trying to deal in almost impossible situation with so many children coming across the border and as senator cotton referred to, human trafficking, human mug glories are making millions off these children, this is a tragedy and it's all because of the policies coming from the white house right now. will: the white house and president biden haven't made the

way down to the southern border. 62 days into the southern president he did make his way to the podium for his first press conference of his administration. in that press conference, we got a glimpse of a cheat sheet that president biden was using when it came to calling on reporter. can you see it on your screen there. there is a reporter profiles with pictures and numbers. you can see a 1, a 9, and an 8 right there. whatever those numbers mean, we do not know. but it seems to guide president biden through who he would call on, at least and one name, one number, one picture profile seemed to have been missing. he took 10 questions, but not one from fox news' peter doocy. peter doocy asked jen psaki about why. >> we noticed, starting at the end of the campaign, and into the transition and here at the white house, any time that the president has an event where he is given a list of reporters to call on. fox is the only member of the

five network tv pool that has never been on the list in front of the president. and i'm just curious if that is an official administration policy. >> we're here having a conversation, aren't we? >> yes. but the president. >> do i take questions from you every time you come to the briefing room. >> yes, but i'm talking about the president. >> i have taken any questions from you since he came into office? >> unfortunately. >> yes or no. >> only when i have shouted after he goes through his whole list. and the president has been very generous with his time with fox. i'm just curious about this list that he is given. >> i will say that i'm always happy to have this conversation with you even about your awesome socks you are having on today. pete: peter doocy is so calm, cool and collected always knows how to handle it the right way. always knows when it ask it as necessary. always shouting it out. even though we are a member of the five network pool that covers the presidency, never on the list. of course, they don't want the pesky questions asked that the rest of the press is supposed to

ask but didn't ask. that press conference sure there was some follow-ups with the questions with the 10 reporters, but, if you would just -- well, would can he always play what if it were donald trump game 60 days into his presidency with what's happening on the border and with no press conferences, imagine the ferocious shutness with which those questions. there would be no hand raising, there would be yelling and accusations made. instead quite polite and peter doocy was polite as he sat and waited to be called on and never was. not a surprise. that's effectively the policy of this administration. jedediah: don't you love the pivot to to the socks? so ridiculous. sometimes you can't each believe what you are seeing. regardless he asks good questions. and he is right though. he does off have to shout them out and chase after. i remember those videos of him chasing after then candidate biden.

>> if we are going to have a new roaring 20's, let's not repeat the mistakes of the last one. i keep reading that america is poised for a roaring 20's, 21st century edition. repeat of that decade a century ago when just like now the united states emerged from pandemic ready to party as if there was cocaine in the coca cola. we all know what happened next. the roaring 20's became the broke [bleep] 30's. it turned into a nightmare. looking at the economic factors right now, it feels like we are back in that head space that we'll never run out of cash as long as the fed doesn't run out of ink. i'm just saying if we are going to do a new roaring 20's, let's do it this time without the two things that made the last one suck. prohibition, and the depression at the end of it. will: we were talking earlier how everything will get paid for, all these multitrillion-dollar government spending programs, pete, you brought up. they're talking about mileage taxes, wealth taxes, whatever it may be.

they are already taxing people. it's just the hidden tax of inflation. when you print money to the extent that this government has embarked upon, you are devaluing everybody's money. you are taxing people. pete: forever sure, multitrillions under the trump administration, 1.9 trillion. next bill 3, 4, 5, 6 trillion. we have no idea how much. the tax raise something almost just punitive at this point. rich people must be taxed more we need more equity. not about balance sheet. nothing is getting paid for. it's really who we punish through the tax code because we have lost all semblance of reality when it comes to our fiscal situation. no doubt. jedediah: yeah, also really interesting to watch bill maher in his last year or so talking about so many issues. i think he has surprised a lot of people. he has always been somewhat of a free thinker late whether i respect to woke culture. with respect to issues of race, he has been very, very outspoken. i'm sure he has taken a lot of criticism on the left for that if nothing else, it speaks for the need for independent voices that are actually thinking, free

thinkers and free minds right now of which he is one at the current time. we are going to turn to some headlines for you now, beginning with a fox news alert. overnight at least two people are shot and killed in virginia beach. police say 8 others were shot near an ocean front resort. while investigating the scene, police say an officer shot and killed a suspect, possibly linked to the resort shooting. the victim's injuries range from serious to life threatening. another officer was hurt after being hit by a car. his injuries are not nonthreatening. we will continue updates on this developing story. and now to extreme weather. at least one person is dead after a tornado ripped through a georgia county overnight. winds reportedly reaching 170 miles per hour in the hardest hit areas. clean-up is underway with widespread damage to buildings, homes and power lines. alabama also recovering from several tornadoes that left at least five dead. meanwhile, in vermont, two people are hurt after a tornado ripped through the town of middle bury. severe damage is reported in the

minors apprehended since the data has been kept. just to put this in perspective, during the unaccompanied minor surge that we all remember very well in 2014, right, that was the first year that people really came in large numbers as unaccompanied, under the age of 18 illegally across our borders. for the whole year, the total was 68,000, just shy of 70,000 or about 190 people a day. rate now they are apprehending in this age demographic between 6 and 800 people a day more than four times what was happening in that terrible crisis that we remember in 2014. there is no precedent, not just in our country, i would argue there is no precedent in world history for a resettlement of young people illegally entering a country on the scale. and who is going to pay for it all? who is going to provide the healthcare? who is going to provide the education? who is going to provide the housing? the answer is hardworking u.s. taxpayers who have just been through a global pandemic.

pete: steven, the biden administration would say well, this is in the name of humanitarian. this is in the name of a different approach than that harsh approach of the trump administration. what do you say to their claims that hey this is okay. even though it's unprecedented, maybe they don't admit that, because we are being humane. >> yeah. so let's take the example that was brought up at the press conference that joe biden did on thursday. so, a reporter for another news outlet asked joe biden about a story. the story was that an unaccompanied minor, 9 years old came here. the parents were back in their home country. under biden administration's that child separation is being perpetuated. they will be resettled in the united states, they will be kept away from their parents, they will stay here indefinitely. they may go years, even longer without ever seeing their parents again. that's joe biden's policy. the trump administration policy was to contact the home country,

contact social services, contact our embassy and consulate and arrange for a reunification for the home country and to work with that government to make sure that family was safe. that's the difference. joe biden is splitting up families all over the world for years at a time to bring expense. donald trump was humanely reuniting people at home. and the termination of that policy, the decision to keep all illegal aliens under 17 here in america indefinitely is triggering a titled surge that we have never seen before, again, as long as cat that has been kept. jedediah: steven, i want to ask you, we have two problems here which is that people are continuing to couple. and then you have the people that are already here. so even if president biden were to come out at this point and say stop coming or you will be sent back, the question is one, do those people believe him because all the people that just

came are likely going to be able to stay, i would assume. and, secondly, is that enough and does that address the problem we have now which is overcrowding of facilities? what happens to all of these people now? what do we do? >> right, so, couple things. first of all, joe biden has the authority right now under what you may have heard is called titled 42, cdc public health authority that dump put into place. you could take all of the unaccompanied minors that are in facilities today and begin the process of lining up charter flights and sending them back to their home countries. once you do that, the overcrowding will disappear within days and they will stop coming and the problem will be solved. it is a voluntary choice of this administration. secondly, to your point, the rhetoric is meaningless when it is contradicted by reality. and so the people that are getting in, not just minors, but thousands upon thousands of adults traveling with children as well are being released. whether they get in, they go on

to social media, they report how they got in, where they got in, where they are now, and that information travels back to where they come from. so, unless you change the reality then this mass illegal resettlement is going to continue not only at its current unprecedented pace but to reach even greater high than we can scarcely imagine. will: steven miller, thank you for the insight this morning. >> thank you for having me on. will: turning to headlines, a fallen hero recognized for bravery and selfless service retired police captain david dorn is chosen for the 2021 citizen honor award by the congressional medal of honor society. done died protecting a friend's business in st. louis during riots last summer. his wife ann joined us earlier. >> to find out dave was awarded this great honor just floored me, really. it's a bittersweet moment. will: ann will accept the award at an official ceremony in

action that means these companies ought to be bound by the constitution and first amendment. i didn't hear a peep about that discussion yesterday but that's actually where this discussion needs to go. in fact i can talk about they actually went in the opposite direction and really just appeasing their congressional democrat overlords to do their bidding in return for keeping monopoly power in tact. jedediah: do congressional representatives have incentive to change this? it seems to me when things are enforced by big tech companies are laterally enforced one one side. what would be the incentive to make this better so to speak. >> they don't have near term incentive. principle. irrespective whether you are on the left or right you should not want this kind of corporate power where government delegates its dirty work to big tech companies leaving their power intact. right now the political grand bargain goes like this, okay. democrats effectively tell big tech that they get to censor content that democrats don't like and in return democrats will agree to leaf big tech's monopoly power intact. that's the grand bargain as it

exists today it's working beautifully from the perspective of political tactics. where it's not working as well is for the principle where we do not want this kind of expansive corporate power where companies have unilateral discretion to engage in the censorship that the first amendment exists to prevent government from engaging in all together. i think for any democrat or principled liberals or conservatives for that matter who care about that basic principle, i think that would be the incentive, not any sort of political calculus. jedediah: yeah, i would hope so. i would hope that would be the incentive. i'm not seeing it across the board in a way that i would like to. but, that's an optimistic look at what should be hang. maybe it will inspire some of them to do just that vivek, thank you for joining us on this issue as always. >> thank you. jedediah: coming up, oral roberts university is scoring big as the team heads to march madness sweet 16. the president of that university will tell us about high school's historic run and the threats they have been facing. ♪

>> president biden and vice president harris need to come down here. >> we do have an open border. >> we saw cages after cages after cages of little girls, of little boys. pete: welcome to the final hour of fox & friends on this saturday and we begin with a fox news alertment republicans toured the southern border for a firsthand look at the crisis. jedediah: new shocking video reveals extreme overcrowding at makeshift facilities housing migrants. will: the video on your screen was taken within the last 24 hours at the number of children in federal custody jumps by nearly 8,000. good morning, welcome to fox and friend, will cain, pete hegseth, and jedediah bila with you this morning and i think what's fascinating is we've seen this

video come out in the last 24 hours and heard the testimony of republican senators, 19 of them that made their way to the border and from the mouths of migrants themselves, as it flies in the face of the story the administration is attempting to tell at this moment, that this is a normal, pete, seasonal surge. pete: that's right it's not often you watch a press conference of 18 senators and you're interested in what each one of them has to say in realtime, which was that press conference yesterday and as that press conference rolled, senate offices had put out not just from ted cruz but from multiple senate offices, the terrible conditions that these migrants, these illegal youth in most cases are living under right now , hundreds in facilities built for thousands and those senators passionately went to the podium describing the in humane conditions describing the defact o open border they saw and the facilitation of illegal trafficking with arrows on the road that says illegals, coyotes, in this direction to drop-off migrant children who by default are being separated from their parents because of

policies that incentivizes minor s to come to the border. all of that passion came out in this press conference because seeing is understanding, jed, yes you had joe biden at the podium earlier in the week, kamala harris laughing it off and this idea they need to see from border patrol, and the humanity to understand the depth of the crisis. jedediah: yeah, this is not a time to be at a podium discussing this issue. this is a time to be on the ground, right there, front and center looking at it with your own eyes from feet away. i mean, this just an atrocity what's going on right now and it's very sad that gop senators felt that they had to do the job that this administration is not doing by being front and center, right there on the ground. the president should be there. the vice president should be there. not only gop senators by the way but also gop congressmen and women, also going, and taking a look for themselves and feel that they need to show people what is going on inside these facilities, so that people can in turn put pressure on their lawmakers, on the administration

to do something about a situation that is clearly unten able and unsustainability able. will: it's not just the story or the eye witness testimony but it's the data and we heard that earlier from stephen miller. listen. >> joe biden is splitting up families all over the world for years at a time to bring them here to america, at taxpayer expense. donald trump was humanely re uniting people at home, and the termination of that policy, the decision to keep all illegal aliens under 17 here in america indefinitely is triggering a tidal surge that we had never seen before again as long as data has been kept. whose going to pay for it all? whose going to provide the health care and provide the education and the housing? the answer is hard working u.s. taxpayers who just have been through a global pandemic. pete: stephen miller was fantastic in describing what's happening there and he emphasizes time and time again he did in this segment as he often does this is about america first and this is about taxpayer s and this is about

border, wage, jobs, securities, drugs and communities being trafficked, affected by this and ultimately, when you look at the photos which are so jarring and disturbing, for different people can look at them differently and you can interpret of course they are inhumane and not what they should be and covid-19. at the same time some of the people look at those images and they see dreamer 3.0, dream er .5, dreamer 5.0 the next iteration of youth brought here against their own will is what will be said and ultimately then , put on a pathway to legalization or citizenship and they believe to be future voters that's not what this should be about. you don't want to believe in open borders could be the goal or the de facto approach from the left of the modern democrat party but the lack of caring and the willingness to change policies so quickly, knowing what those policies would do, only leads you to that conclusion, maybe there's something political about it. will: i'm sorry, pete. you know you said everyone looks at those pictures and sees something different. what many see is the selective application of the description of various events as super

spreader. pete: that's right. will: joe biden has said that attacking coronavirus is a number one priority of his administration. does that look like a priority you might want to address if covid is your major concern? jedediah: and also regardless of how you feel about dreamers with respect to immigration policy, no one is going to look at this given the times that we're in and say this is a means by which it make sense. i mean, this makes no sense, health wise from a health perspective. that's why you have reporters now saying why don't we have access, is this going to continue, when are we going to have access, for how long are they expected to be in these facilities? are there other facilities that are going to be moved from, so but the question is numbers here , right? how many facilities do we have? do we have enough facilities to move people so that they're spread out enough in the midst of a pandemic? i don't have the answers to those questions but the administration certainly should, pete. pete: yeah, they're talking about using military facilities, i mean, you do have to address the numbers but if you're just addressing the numbers you're putting a band aid on a larger

problem that you're never actually cutting off off the sp iget for but when you look at all of this the left is moving it ferocious speed whether it's the border and the press can't see it, whether it's overturning certified elections in iowa they want to take miller meeks seat, whether it's hr-1 the federal voting bill that the would have changed the way we conduct elections for the foreseeable future, whether it's the philly bust cher is now racist because republicans would like to use it when democrats were using it 300 times last year or whether it is this next, jed, infrastructure, so-called infrastructure bill that at a minimum is $3 trillion. jedediah: $3 trillion in infrastructure bill so people need to just take a moment and think about that. here is pete buttigieg though. this is an interesting caveat we have here. pete buttigieg, as you know, is the transportation secretary. he's talking about how they're going to bring in some extra money to fund this giant $3 trillion price tag, and one means they are discussing now is

a potential vehicle mileage tax. take a listen. >> i think that shows a lot of promise. if we believe in that so-called user pays principle, the idea of how we pay for roads is you pay based on how much you drive. the gas tax used to be the obvious way to do it. it's not anymore, so a so-called vehicle miles travel tax or mileage tax whatever you want to call it could be the way to do it. will: you know, pete, i know you've become a fan of the term "common sense" being blunt, telling it the way it is. you happen to talk to a man earlier on this program, his name is dale bone a truck driver owner of d &d trucking and he put it pretty bluntly to you and gave us a dose of common sense when it came to a mileage tax. listen. >> i don't think it's fair at all. we're the ones out here delivering goods and supplying america, but like i said we pay enough tax already. thousands of dollars a year per- truck. you know, and the big mega carriers and more, so how's that fair to us? i'm already feeling it with the diesel prices going up like

they are now and like you said they add more trucks to the road hauling oil and stuff from what a pipeline would carry, i don't know. they need to put the money where it's supposed to go because i don't think 100% is going where 100% is supposed to be. will: when pete asked dale what kind of impact this would have, he was pretty clear. zero. pete: zero, he was and if you look at the covid-19 relief bill , the so-called covid-19 relief bill that had 9% of it was for covid-19 relief, that's about the percentage you'll get from this infrastructure bill which is starting at 3 trillion, of what actually goes to infrastructure. the rest, green new deal basically jammed in the middle of it and this is their full progressive takeover, and they will dress it up as they want to build roads and bridges and someone like dale knows that. will: i consider this a very very important story. i know you two do as well. this is fascinating after months of being described almost a year as being described as a conspiracy theory dismissed as inappropriate to talk about

in flight circles or on the airwaves we now have a former cdc director, director redfield saying he believes the coronavirus originated in the wuhan lab. watch. >> if i was to guess this virus started transmitting somewhere in september/october in wuhan. >> september/october? >> that's my opinion. i'm allowed to have opinions now i am of the point of view that i still think the most-likely etio logy of this pathogen in wuhan was from a laboratory and escaped and other people don't believe that. that's fine. science will eventually figure it out. it's not unusual for respiratory pathogens being worked on in a laboratory to infect the laboratory worker. jedediah: people were vilified for months for asking questions about where this pandemic started and how it started and when it started. vilified, and now, he's coming out and saying this may be where

it started and it's nice to see that people are allowed to ask questions now, but where were all of those people supporting those questions then when this originated and people were dying and you weren't allowed to say where did this come from and when? just unbelievable amount of just intellectual laziness that happens on the part of so many. pete: intentional censorship. videos were shutdown, tom cotton was evicerated from making a suggestion earlier on, and the only people right now are the communist chinese who are completely complicit from the beginning of covering this up and preventing the world from knowing what really happened and we've dealt with it ever since. will: crazy. pete: turning now to a few additional headlines starting with a fox news alert. right now, urgent manhunt under a way after a texas state trooper is shot on a highway. police say the trooper is fighting for his life in critical condition. prayers for him. this suspect, arthur pinson jr. is considered armed and dangerous multiple law enforcement agencies are

assisting with the manhunt. >> and this just in nearly every member of the homeland security advisory council is being fired. dhs secretary is writing a letter saying in part, i'm considering how the hsac can be harnessed most effectively to advance the department's mission and will reconstitute the hsac in a few weeks, once the new model is developed. my suspicion is that advisory council had many trump appointees on it and they had to go. >> and an ohio college student delivers pizza by plane. >> it's time for me to fly home and get the plane all packed up. >> here is all my bags right behind me and i'm heading home to kelly's island. pete: bobby quinn attending bowl ing green state university. inbetween classes he flies a plane to his family's home across lake erie delivering food from the mainland to his neighbors on kelly's island.

and those are your headlines. that is really cool. will: that's really cool. pete: he's not really delivering pizza. jedediah: it's very cool. pete: it's amazing. jedediah: the plane is very small though, do you guys see how little that plane is? like you could touch all four -- will: that's a normal private learner plane. that's a skill that i think is pretty cool for a man to have, and a woman, to be able to fly a plane. i'll put that on my list. jedediah: oh, we can get you doing that, next. pilot lessons for will cain on fox & friends. will: i'm going to pay for it, i'm down. pete: as long as you pay for it. it's on my list to have someone who can fly it for me. will: i can imagine. jedediah: pete, well, pete maybe we can hire will. we can train him and hire him to fly us around. that sounds like a plan to me. will: not a bad idea. jedediah: there you go. still ahead -- pete: i trust the b block but i don't know if i'd trust my life right now. jedediah: that's true and a fair point. all right, still ahead los

asia, i want to start with you though because this is deeply personal to you. when you heard this decision come down, how did you feel and what thoughts do you want to share today about your brother, and how other people watching may feel who have been in similar circumstances to yours throughout the country. >> well, my family and i were devastated. we had gone through this process for about three and a half years especially with jaylen yokum going to competency hearings and all of that and the moment when were at a place where he was found competent to go to transfer hearing to adult court we were all of a sudden, in december, said no, you know, all those charges all of the charges needed to be dropped except for the one count of murder and that transfer was completely off the table, and so of course it threw my entire family for a loop. we were geared up and ready to go to this transfer hearing and felt we had a really great case

for jaylen yokum to be transferred to adult court so this came as a shock to everyone , and the things my brother was the greatest person, you know, he really was. he really had a huge heart and he loved his children. he had three small children. he had three daughters and a son that he leaves behind, and so my family has been fighting three and a half years to really bring justice to this case, and bring light to this case, and unfortunately, gascon comes in right at the 11th hour right when we were ready to proceed with the transfer hearing and then just basically tells us that it's not going to happen, and would not make an exception in this case, and this is a very violent offender, so we were really shocked. jedediah: asia, i can't imagine the emotional whirl wind this has been for you and for your family at the late hour to have the tables turned this way. i genuinely can't imagine your frustration, but sheriff, i want to ask you a little bit about

what the motive behind a decision like this might be. why is this being done? can you surmise? >> well, da gascon described a theory that all offenders are truly victims and the system is inherently racist, therefore, he's wiping the table clean. every week is a story just like this poor lady and her family. they suffered enough with the tragedy itself and now they are being victimized all over again, and this is happening every single week and every courtroom in los angeles county. there's a new horror story and the question is where is it going to end. jedediah: a ja, what kind of message does this send to actual victims of crimes like this , and their families? >> it just tells us that the victims are no longer the victims anymore. we are treating these juvenile defendants as if they were the victims and unfortunately, the victim's voices are getting lost in all of this , and i have done my best to reach out to the

da's office and to speak with alyssa blair whose the person who basically wrote the juvenile policies for da gascon, and we got nowhere, and they wouldn't even respond back to us to let us know if they were going to make an exception in this case, and why they weren't going to make an exception if that was the fin ality of it. we had to hear through our prosecutor that they were not going to make an exception after we reached out to them several times and had a call with alyssa blair, and she basically told us that, you know, they weren't going to address us, that they weren't going to respond to us at all and that -- jedediah: aja, i hate to interrupt you, i apologize. we're so sorry for your loss we're going to run out of time but we're grateful that you were here to join us and we're deeply sorry for your loss and we wish you great success in getting some really positive closure on this whole issue in the very near future. it's important to note also we did reach out to the la district

separating children from their mothers, make no apology for that. rolling back the policies of remain in mexico sitting on the edge of the rio grande in the muddy circumstance with not enough to eat? i make no apology for that. i make no apology for ending programs that did not exist before trump became president. will: so, lee, how did voters feel about that moment? >> they gave biden the benefit of the doubt throughout. they didn't say he did a great job but they gave him a b, independent through that yellow line they gave him a d and republicans are an f. i'm not surprise republicans gave him an f, but surprised democrats gave him as much credit as they did but i'm focused on that yellow line of independence who are really skeptical of this moment especially as it comes to immigration they are concerned about what's going on on the border and they want answers and this did not satisfy them. jedediah: we have a second clip

of president biden trailing off while discussing the filibuster. let's take a look. >> i'm going to say something outrageous. i have never been particularly poor at calculating how to get things done in the united states senate, so the best way to get something done, if you hold near and dear to you that you like to be able to, well any way, we're ready to get a lot done. jedediah: what did the grading look like on that one? >> so democrats were okay with this they looked at it nearly a gaf, but they received his message as saying he's focused on getting things done and they gave him an a, independence gave him a c, and they want to hear he's getting things done and they did focus on the gaf, but not as much as republicans who gave this a d. they are really focused on these kinds of trailing off moments these kinds of things because they are concerned. they want to know is biden really okay. pete: if that's an a, that's

serious grade inflation. we've got to get your take though on the president talking about the possibility of running for re-election. listen. >> have you decided whether you are going to run for re-election in 2024? you haven't" up a re-election campaign yet as your predecessor has by this time. >> my predecessor, oh, god, i miss him. no, the answer is yes, my plan is to run for re-election. that's my expectation. >> do you believe you'll be running against former president trump? >> oh, come on. i don't even think about it. i have no idea. i have no idea who will be the republican party. pete: your response? >> so you can see democrats gave this an a, this is what they wanted to hear but independents and republicans gave this an f, not because he talked about re-election but really because of the way he talked about republicans he was very glib and saying i don't even know if there's a republican party so it really seemed to contradict his message

of unity and turn both independents and republicans off will: i think we should end where you started lee laser focused on those independents, fascinatingly low grades from inneds on those moments thank you so much, lee. >> great to see you this morning. will: still ahead, philadelphia 's drug crisis is spiraling out of control. lawrence jones went to one neighborhood dubbed the new skid row to see for himself. his report is 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 ♪ we're made for. to navigate your active days, weathertech has you covered.

jedediah: we are back with extreme weather at least one person is dead after a tornado rips through a georgia county overnight. pete: this as alabama recovers from several tornadoes that left at least five dead. will: charles watson joins us from pellum, alabama, as damage cleanup gets underway. charles? reporter: good morning, guys as you can probably hear the cleanup efforts are underway in this alabama community, where a tornado touch ed down just the other day. we were just speaking to a neighbor not too long ago who tells us he rode out that tornado in his basement with his wife and kids with little notice but believe it or not this community looks a whole lot better today than it did just 24 hours ago, but still plenty of significant damage to homes in this neighborhood we're talking about roofs torn off and large holes ripped into some of these homes. those tornadoes, as you mentioned, killed at least six people including reports of one person who had a medical

emergency as first responders attempted to rescue the individual in noonan , georgia, early friday morning. most of the people killed in that tornado outbreak across the south lived in some of the hardest-hit communities like ohatchee, alabama where entire communities were destroyed. we spoke to one man who tells us he lost three family members and his home in a matter of minutes. >> i have a home over there, three of my sisters had homes over there, and my momma had a home and she gave it to my brother. he was in the storm. he is in the hospital and my sister and her husband and one of her daughters passed back there. reporter: that powerful storm system stretching all the way up into vermont where a confirmed e f-1 tornado touched down in middlebury friday afternoon so cleanup going on in the south and the northeast,

guys? will: thank you, charles. jedediah: thank you so much, charles, for that update. we'll head over to rick reichmuth now whose been track ing all of this and more, rick, what's the latest? rick: guys, we have another threat of severe weather today across some of the same areas of the south. in march, this is what we normal ly see that silver bar there. that's a typical march, we're already above our march average. you notice april, may, june, are really when we typically see most of our tornado activity so we're off to a really early start and a lot of indications that we're going to have a really active severe weather season over these next couple of months. this is where we normally see it where you see that pink area that's where we generally see stronger tornadoes in the month of march and it's kind of where things have been. when things are a little bit calmer to the south of this much of florida you'll be dry and hot today, but you notice these storms that are across parts of tennessee this morning, that's the first batch of the storms not as severe just yet, but we're going to have that first batch of rain that causes the ground to be very saturated right now, and then we start to

see this next piece of energy that moves in later on this afternoon and as it does, storm prediction center is already issued enhanced threat for storms anywhere you see that darker orange, potentially some pretty significant tornadoes later on today anywhere in the area you could see a tornado or two definitely strong winds but unfortunately, guys another big day that we have to watch here for severe weather. back to you. will: thank you, rick. pete: another story this viral video giving the nation a shocking look at what life is like in one philadelphia neighborhood, dubbed the new skid row. jedediah: this is kensington and it's located in north philly. will: fox news analyst lawrence jones saw the city's worsening drug crisis firsthand and he joins us now. good morning, lawrence. reporter: good morning, family in 2019 philadelphia's number of overdose deaths was three times higher than its murder rate and more than 80% of those overdoses were due to opioids. the neighborhood you guys are talking about is just four miles away from where the declaration of independence was signed, but it couldn't be more different.

take a look. >> philadelphia county has the highest overdose rate of any of the 10-most counties in america, and in 2019, the highest number of overdoses were right here in kensington. so describe, what do you see when you come down here? >> drug infestation. needles. it's a shame. it's a shame. >> you feel like you're afraid to walk in the path because they are holding needles and falling over. reporter: what type of drugs? >> heroin? reporter: i've been to most of all of the major cities that have been impacted by this drug crisis, this homeless crisis and i've never seen anything like this in my life. needles everywhere, capsules everywhere, people picking up needles to reuse, fires, fights, it is truly a crisis, and the

sad part about all of this , this is not just at night. this is in broad daylight. people shooting up in broad daylight while children and families are walking the streets this is what they see. >> can't be safe down here especially for the kids, you can't. your children can't even walk down here. >> kids are kids, they are going to be curious and ask, so just explaining that, what it is that these people are doing or why the guy is leaning the way he's leaning. i mean it's tough. reporter: this be considered the epicenter of this area. all type of criminal activity that is here every single night they get shot up with drugs and have a good time and then in the morning it is left here for cleanup crews to get all of the rest of this up. you think this climate is destroying business? >> yes. very much so. reporter: what is city council doing, the mayor, what are they doing? >> it's a shame to say, nothing reporter: so tell me, whose out here? the people from philly or are

they from all over? >> it's a mix. people from all over, out west, down south, north. reporter: why do you think they come to philly? >> there's nowhere like this in this country, so if you want that and be able to readily have it come to philadelphia. reporter: this is a city that has been impacted like no other. this is just a little bit of it. what do you see? >> just the age-group of the guys that are out there getting high is like drastically dropping. yeah, like i'll tell you i'll go home. reporter: you don't think there's anything we can do to help the situation. >> down here? no. you can slow it up but you'll never stop it. reporter: a truly heartbreaking story and we reached out to the philadelphia police department and the da, but they declined to comment; however we did get a statement from the mayor's office and they said that the covid-19 pandemic has prompt ed a large spike in opioid

overdoses nationally. kensington is the area of philadelphia that has been hit hardest, and the wake of this , the city of philadelphia has established the opioid response unit to address these concerns. these combined efforts have allowed us to make significant changes in the way we serve the most vulnerable residents. guys? will: what a stunning store, lawrence, great job bringing that news and visuals to light. absolutely stunning. thanks, lawrence. pete: thank you, lawrence. will: coming up gop lawmakers witnessing the crisis at the border firsthand and released shocking images of the conditions inside migrant facilities. congressman ronny jackson heads to the border tomorrow and he reacts to those videos, next. ♪♪♪ it's velveeta versus the other guys. clearly, nothing melts like velveeta. ♪♪♪

hi, i'm pat and i'm 75 years old. we live in the mountains so i like to walk. clearly, nothing melts like velveeta. i'm really busy in my life; i'm always doing something. i'm not a person that's going to sit too long. in the morning, i wake up and the first thing i do is go to my art studio. a couple came up and handed me a brochure on prevagen. i've been taking prevagen for about four years. i feel a little bit brighter and my mind just feels sharper. i would recommend it to anyone. it absolutely works. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

>> president biden and vice president harris need to come down here. >> we do have an open border. >> we saw cages after cages

after cages of little girls, of little boys. pete: republican senators giving a shocking account after touring the southern border. texas congressman dr. ronny jackson will visit the border tomorrow. he joins me now ahead of his trip. doctor, thanks so much for being here. >> thanks, pete. pete: what do you see , what are you looking for as someone who is well aware of what happens down at the border what concerns you the most? >> well i'm probably going to see the same thing i saw when i went down at the beginning of the trump adminitration, when the obama-era policies were in place, and we had an open border down there, and what i saw down there was i saw border patrol that was completely overwhelmed, customs and border protection. they spent their entire day taking care of these immigrants, and you know, escorting them to hospital, passing out juice boxes and diapers and things that aren't their job as law enforcement officers, and meantime, the cartels are taking total advantage of this. now, we see the cartels are really taking advantage of is with the human trafficking. they are making tons and tons of money.

millions, potentially billion dollars, with this human traffic king, in addition to the fact that the rest of the border is wide open, to their other activities, you know, bringing heroin and methamphetamine and cocaine and gang members and the violent components of the cartel across the border. there's nothing stopping them there, so that's what the we're going to see. there is nothing good about what's going on in the border if you're a u.s. citizen, if you're tax-paying american citizen. this is what makes me the most angry, this is being driven by biden and the far left and their vendetta against trump. they talked about this on the campaign trail and as soon as he got in office the first thing he did was look for ways to undo everything that trump has done including the border which was a great thing for our country, and so they miss calculated, they were really quick to try to stop the wall and to overturn the remain in mexico and all of the other policies and they removed the incentives and now we've got this humanitarian crisis going on down there and it's all biden 's making.

pete: you're precisely right. you have to go there and speak to the border patrol agents personally, because they will tell you things they could never tell you otherwise unless you were there in front of them in the flesh. i want to ask you about the covid angle of this too, senator ted cruz tweeted the cb p facility in donna, texas is a tragic super spreader event caused by the biden administration per cbp, but the facility has a 10% positive iterate roughly 4,000 aliens are cramped together into cages pictured identities obscured are kids who tested positive for covid today. the word super spreader, congressman, gets used way too much, and usually is politically loaded but in this particular case, you look at these facilit ies, in age of covid and how could you draw any other conclusion? >> well the dems have used covid as a tool. pete: that's right. for the last two years to get whatever they need and they are using it now to make an excuse why reporters and people can't go in and see what's going on but the reality is i'd like to nowhere is president biden's concern about our health down there. when i went down there like i

told you at the beginning of the trump adminitration, i went down as president trump's chief medical advisor to look at the medical issues on the border. where is fauci? he should be down on the border looking at this instead he's running around talking about how you have to wear two masks and this other stuff to keep us safe and itch you don't you're irresponsible and simultaneously the border is being stormed by these people and we know a large percentage of these people are covid positive, and we worked hard especially in texas to turn things around with covid to get our kids back-to-school and open up our small businesses and they are going to absolutely undo this with what's going on. this is a huge disaster for us from an economic standpoint, you know, and from a health standpoint, and just from a national security standpoint, for crying outloud, we know there are people that are on the terror watch list coming across so this is an unmitigated disaster down there on so many fronts and the health concerns are a big part of it. pete: congressman, well said we look forward to your report when you go down there to see it again. gods speed, thank you, appreciate it. >> thank you. pete: coming up this couple isn't afraid of competition even if it's against each other, meet

[laughter] will: well, what about getting back on the track? its been a little bit but how do you feel? are you ready? is this , i mean, any nervousness? are you ready to drop right back in? >> i'm ready. we've been able to run some big modified races in the northeast the last couple of years our son parker was diagnosed on the autism spectrum at a year and a half so the last two years
