600 children a day. leave fox news team coverage on all of this. richard is on the border with more on the growing situation there. let's begin with david at the white house with the administration reaction. reporter: since the supreme court was founded well over 200 years ago in this country, the number has fluctuated a bit on the high court, started with six justices but we've had nine justices on the u.s. supreme court 1869. four years after the end of the civil war. this commission is a bipartisan commission announced via executive order by president biden. 180 days to come up with a solution about potentially adding or subtracting from the u.s. supreme court the president during the campaign promise that commission to look at multiple issues. the white house says they want to stress bipartisan and before the president receives a report but already getting tons of pushback from publicans at least

on capitol hill. senator ben sasse threw a punch of a statement, talking about the president he knows it's going to be a tax payer funded door stopper with the president doesn't have is the courage to flatly tell the radical left he's not going to pack the supreme court. speaking of court packing, it was president franklin roosevelt who made the phrase famous when he wanted to add justices to the u.s. supreme court but failed 1983, then senator joe biden from delaware called the idea a bonehead idea when referring to that plan almost 40 years later, he made it clear a few months ago high court should stay out of politics. >> the last thing we need to do turn the supreme court into a political football, whoever has the most votes gets whatever they want. presidents come and go, supreme

court justices stay for generations. >> this commission itself has 36 numbers and also they will look at other aspects. >> they will look at the courts rule in the constitutional system, length of service and turnover of justice on the court, the membership size of the court the selection rules and practices. >> the commission welcome back with recommendations by fall, likely october, 180 days from when it was announced but getting it through to make changes, plus will be the filibuster, we need to know if there's an appetite to get rid of the filibuster or make changes to getting this done could be different and some speculate the president may do this just to have a cover if he doesn't actually want to do it so we'll see what the commission says it is up to not only the white house but congress is the key. eric: i wonder if president biden who will listen to senator

biden who called a bonehead idea. david, thank you. arthel: okay, thank you, president biden's coordinator is stepping down at the end of april. she already planned tuesday only through biden's first 100 days in office. this comes at customs and border protection are reporting staggering surge and migrant shelters, up 187% from last year. richard is live near the border in texas more corporate good afternoon, it's a busy morning here on the southwest border at this particular location, a mile north of the rio grande river and mexican border here. it's a commonly busy morning, they arrested about were apprehended about 100 migrant earlier this morning, several hours here waiting for

last fiscal year but when you specifically talk about where we are now, rio grande valley, 2402% increase over the reviews here. unaccompanied minors, 19000 last month alone according to customs and border protection, that is a record. these issues continue playing out, the question is what are you going to do about it? white house response is that they are going to try to invest in areas in the northern triangle in central america to try to stop or prevent or at least hamper the issue ongoing in the area to try to stop the drivers of migration to compel those to take the dangers in many times deadly journeys all the way up to mexico to the southern u.s. border. proposing $4 billion. you mentioned white house border coordinator, ambassador jacobson who will leave now at the end of the month according to white house, white house transit as she was around just for the first 100 days of the administration through the end of the month and full

one of our top stories, unfolding humanitarian crisis continue on our seven border. federal border agents say they've been overwhelmed by the sheer number of migrants who continue to cross into our country. the number is steadily increasing for nearly a year now skyrocketed in february and march and the flow so far shows no signs of stopping. republican congressman of texas joins us, former mayor in texas, you know what it's like on the

front lines. the number of unaccompanied children from central america hit a record number last month. almost 19000, that's about 600 day they make a dangerous check and they're still coming, what actions would you like to see the biden administration take? >> i'd like the biden administration to actually listen to the folks who have warned them if they change their policy, is exactly what would happen if they were in the room when you talk to people like tom cotton or mark morgan, they were in the room talking to biden and advisors telling him if you move forward and opened the border, if you move forward on deportation, you will see a surge, expect to see drug and human smugglers in our country at record numbers so the idea that this is normal and it happens every year is completely else the biden administration was warned this would happen and they did it anyway. the numbers we are seeing

skyrocketed unlike anyone seen in history. look at the numbers already with illegal crossings in the month of march. estimated anywhere between 107 -- 250,000 people. compare that to this time last year, 30,000 people. but what i like to see them do go back to the programs we had, the policies we've had under the last administration to prevent the surges, they kept the kids with their families and kept them in the country in their country so they don't have to make the trek from mexico, they were sexually assaulted on the way, they want betrayed by coyotes and they were separated spent thousands of miles away from the family. that's what i would like. i'm sorry. >> the administration says they put out the message and say the border is closed others say that is not the message some of these

people are getting, they understand the administration for example is releasing into the country, 71% up from last month, 173% in terms of the family's month to month the administration says dispatching officials to talk to the countries and perhaps try to get money to deal with the problem. do you think that is enough? >> i do. eric: you're still there. >> absolutely not. what we saw again in the last administration, they already had deals with the other countries, but they would hold them until they were able to apply for asylum ripped up as soon as the biden administration came through. the rhetoric we are going to have open borders and we heard them loud and clear, human smugglers and drug smugglers. that's who they empowered,

millions of dollars and you look at the biden administration, they are the best team of smugglers they've ever had. they are enriching them and empowering them and unfortunately at the cost of not only citizens but all the other unaccompanied minors you see coming into the country. i saw kids squished into pods originally built for 250 people during covid, covid restrictions now had 5000, what i saw was not being tested for covered, customs and border patrol and protection doing the best they can with the resources they have. i also saw miles of the most exposed, patients who would normally be patrolling them had

to be pulled into deal with processing because of the search. areas where drug smugglers are coming in, human traffickers have access and all this was completely in control of the biden administration calls the crisis. it's heartbreaking, we're trying to do our best to show an exclusive what's going on, that's why you see so many republican congressman going down and showing videos. we wrote a letter, seeing the biden administration because of their failure to enforce title 42 which would keep people from covid from crossing into our borders and exposing our first responders to this terrible virus. what we are seeing is a double standard in telling the rest of the country we are at risk of shutdown, closing business, keeping kids out of school but the borders are completely ignoring. eric: the administration, title

42 as a reason to expel they say they are expelling adults under the public health restriction but it is on both sides, a terrible situation and your heartbreaks, especially for these young kids who have to go through this, this is what they face. >> we saw 5700 folks silly, not one was tested for covered. eric: that's a horrible situation. mayor of irving, texas, we'll see if something comes with the request as this situation shows so far no sign of ending. thank you for joining us today. arthel: pfizer said insights on kids younger than 16 as the cdc recommends all school-age kids return to the classroom fall, a look at the impact of the vaccine on children just ahead.

♪♪

pfizer is asking fda to approve emergency use of its covid vaccine for children ages 12 -- 15. data showing shots are one 100%

effective in the age group. if approved, the vaccine could be available in less than a month. the cdc says all school kids across the country should be back in classrooms by fall. doctor freda fisher joins us now, certified in pediatrics and internal medicine. i want to take a step back first, based on what's currently known, what does covid due to an adolescent body? >> many children asymptomatic but not all children. of all kids being hospitalized, one third are admitted to the icu so children and adolescents can get a respiratory illness and they can even get long-haul or the long covid we talked about such as brain fog, poor concentration, blood clot, neurological problems to adolescents are not immune to covered. arthel: i'm going to have you answer this question, i'm sure parents want to know, why should parents allow their 12 -- 15

euros to get covid vaccine? >> is an excellent question and this is why, we have long known children can be a source of transmission the variance arrived, they find children especially the ones in care, they are increasingly spreading covid and spreading it to their parents and grandparents tend to get sicker. we now have to study, it is amazing looking at 2260 children between 12 -- 15, they've got the placebo versus the real pfizer vaccine. eighteen got sick and all were in the placebo group to what does that mean? the vaccine is one 100% effective in children 12 -- 15 if we get the children vaccinated face-to-face school will be safer. less transmission of the virus closer to her community that we need. children make up about 24% of

the population so without them, we are not likely to get over this pandemic so the vaccine is safe for children according to the data and research, parents let the kids the vaccinations. arthel: should parents be concerned about adverse effects from the vaccine down the road? >> according to this data, children have the same side effects profile as an adult so they have some of the immediate side effects like sore arm, some got a little feverish or chills but long-term we don't have the actual answer but thus far, it looks like long-term effects we expect from the vaccine adults, which at this time were not predicting, you would expect in children so basically it looks like the vaccine just as safe for 15-year-old as it is an adult is a robust study where we've looked at over 100,000 adults and now millions of adults have gotten the vaccine is now it's looking like safety

and side effect profile and our children. arthel: i want to talk about adults now, the parents of these children we are talking about and that brings me to shingles. what is shingles? who gets it, how you catch it? should they get the same shingles vaccine? >> that's such a good question. shingles is nobody's friend. it's a reactivation of the chickenpox virus so if you have had chickenpox or even the vaccine in some cases, years down the road you can get shingles which is a painful infection that affects one side of the body on the skin, it can be painful nerve like and you get a blister and some shingles can get a debilitating neuralgia which causes severe pain. good news is that we have a safe vaccination for shingles and if you get the vaccination, it's over 90% effective you likely will not get the shingles. the people who should get the

vaccine are over the age of 50, if you're 50 and older, you should get it and shots of two doses, two to six months apart, it's a dead vaccine so you have no chance of getting the shingles from the vaccine so you don't want the shingles, you should get the vaccine. arthel: so if you get the vaccine, he said there are two so once i get the double dose in the appropriate time, is that it will do i keep getting a shingles shot? >> that's it. two months apart, you have over 90% chance of being a man, even older people, and 70s, it is great. there was another vaccine that came out in 2006 before this one and that was only about 50% effective and even 40% in older people but the one the cdc recommends so if you have had chickenpox or even the vaccine in your and older or

immunocompromised, definitely is recommended you get the shingles vaccine. arthel: okay, i keep hearing and seeing commercials, i'm going to ask what is this? what should i do about it? i want to wrap up, another 30 or 40 seconds with you and i want to go back to the kids. the cdc says listen, pretty much most if not all kids school-age kids will be back in the classroom come this fall, i know you said you recommend parents have their kids vaccinated for covered, the vaccine is safe. do you think a little off topic but kind of not but i want to go, do you think much like you have to bring whatever vaccination papers to school, do you think the covid vaccine should be on the list, included on the list, my child has been vaccinated? >> that is a tricky topic because right now the vaccine only has emergency use

authorization and they have not gone through the full two years after you receive the second dose. it's difficult to require they've done it so right now what i recommend is scientists, physicians and healthcare providers just keep pushing and pushing the evidence and reality we are in a real pandemic, we've had over 80000 cases a day, we've got death continuing, variance on the rise so i hope people take a community perspective and responsibly and that they get the vaccine. down the road once we receive a general authorization that i do believe likely there will be requirements much like measles mumps and rubella and all these vaccines we've been getting all our lives but right now with just having the eua and not even receiving the children yet, i think we just have to make best recommendations for the community and go from there. arthel: thank you for delicately

answering that delicate question, appreciated having you on and we look forward to next time. >> thank you. ♪♪ eric: supreme court blocking covers restriction on religious services in california. the latest, the number of rulings that have gone against these measures. 524 ruling that happened last night, justices looked at governor gavin newsom's orders that have limited home-based religious worship and bible studies and prayer meetings at home. more on the impact of this and what the ruling said. reporter: the ruling specifically impacts religious gatherings inside private homes like bible study classes or prayer meetings and in that vote, the supreme court basically unassigned order that lives california's restrictive nonsecular get-togethers in private residencies. the majority of the opinions say

california treats some comparable secular activities more favorable than at home religious exercise permitting hair salons, retail stores, personal care services, movie theaters, private suites and sporting events and indoor dining to bring together more than three households out of time and added california can't assume the worst when people go to worship but assume the best when people go to work for in this, elena kagan said california limits religious gatherings and homes to three households. at the state limits all secular gatherings and homes to three households, it's complied with the first amendment and the state does exactly that, it's adopted a blanket restriction on at-home gatherings of all kinds, religious and secular alike. california does not need to treat at home religious gatherings the same as hardware stores hair salons and that the

law does not require that the state equally treat apples and watermelons. lawyers for the state reportedly have said it's policy is neutral and limits gatherings for any purpose, secular or religious and say strickland will change next week on the 15th of april and allow as many as 25 people at services. eric: thanks so much. arthel: severe storms in the forecast, parts of the u.s., a closer look at your weekend weather coming up next.

>> you are right, these storms we've been tracking here the last couple days continue to march slowly across the southeast, this is the leading edge of storms as we continue to see that they were about, typically the storms are the worst, a couple of hours here for that will continue but the storm reports over the past 24 hours, you see a lot of jail records and when reports write down along the gulf coast, those are tornado reports, that the red dots where we seek tornadoes over the past 24 hours nothing currently on the ground outside with severe thunderstorms but it's where you see hail and wind up to 60 miles an hour, we seen heavy rain also so localized flooding is an issue and we will continue to see it. this is where the bull's-eye is for severe weather as the system marches across the southeast so running through central florida into north florida and portions of south florida, areas where you continue to see big thunderstorms as well as potential for hail and wind up

to 60 miles an hour. future forecast shows is sweeping through florida and all this rain this to the mid atlantic and eventually new england. it's not likely severe weather but still thunderstorms sweeping through the areas. this is basically where we typically see severe weather so as it lifts to the north, we are going to lose some of the heat that fuels these but toward the west where we seen the past couple of days of severe weather, this is the time of year it happens. tornado l.a. and we will continue to watch this here this afternoon. arthel: it's that time of year. thank you. eric: president biden announced he's forming commission to study possible reforms to the supreme court. one of the changes could include adding more justices to the court and i see the president didn't support as a candidate for the next, if this will happen. ♪♪

court, progressive and liberal democrats calling for republicans and they are up in arms. with the president take his former senators self advice editor of the "wall street journal" joins us now. you think we will see an expansion team? >> president biden said during the campaign that he didn't have firm opinion on this and wasn't inclined to join in the rally to expand the court to dilute cash three conservative now so this is the answer, he said commission and he's done that. if you are a lost student right now, you want to be an intern on the commission because it's a robust very interesting group of conservative as well as liberal legal scholars and lawyers, former judges, a range of people, former congress people
