1:15 am
can help. look i don't think anybody says that what is happening to the kids is fair. it is not their fault they're the innocent victims in all of this. but people do make the argument that there are children who are, you know, american born in this country who still need help and aren't necessarily getting help they deserve. so at some point when you have such an influx of numbers, how do you help everyone? >> well that's just it, and the longer that you refuse to secure the border, the more you're going see this problem happen, and i'm glad that there's nonprofits here in michigan capable on helping these children we want to go everything we can do help them but we have a lot of people in michigan that need help too and they're overlooked at the same time. so as long as these boartds are unsecure as long as cartels freely walk across border, this problem is going to continue. it is time for president biden to step up, secure the border make sure this problem is

whitmer has been trying to shame the people of michigan against traveling for spring break two places leak florida. and now we pieptiond out that her own staff wasn't listening to her. and we're going down there, i think we see a pattern of hypocrisy within this administration. it is to remember it was a year ago now when the governor was telling people stay home her own governor -- own husband tried to use her position to get their boat in the waters up at their lake house. and if you were this past january when she said stay home she had no problem gong to d.c. with inauguration. it does appear that there's one set of rules for people in michigan. and another set of rules for governor and her team. >> okay. and just to note we reached out from a staimght from the governor whitmer office and have not heard back steve johnson thank you for your time. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> carly. >> still ahead out of work and fearing the worst.

♪ ♪ >> secretary you're the one who is pointed -- you're one who cited politics at 19 million and it is actually 2.7 million which is a bunch but it's not what you said. the bottom line is, it is going to add jobs. and this is a direct reputation of people who were saying otherwise. pete buttigieg walking back
1:22 am
clams that biden infrastructure plan will create 19 million jobs. this dealing a major blow to thousands of blue collar workers, looking for release after the president killed the keystone excel pipeline project in january. i spoke with pipeliners in arkansas after the project was killed, and now months later many say they are still struggling. here's what they told me. >> i mean it is hard to make plan when is you've got an administration that's trying to crush your future. >> so poopline was killed in january, it is now april -- give us an update have you been able to find a job? >> not with pipeline or any other thing right now. especially with the green energy project talked about. >> i've looked for green jobs they are not there and that's why i started a trucking company is because there are no green jobs there. >> list probably 60 to 80 grand not able to go on that job.
1:23 am
that's my livelihood if i'm not off working i'm barely -- i've got two kids i have to support. what do i do there? >> without working we lose insurance, and income -- >> whole family is unemployed. >> whole family -- >> my whole family. >> so what is everybody going to do? >> we don't know. we'll lose everything we have. that we've worked our entire lives for. >> tell me about arkansas they call it the pipeliner capitol of the world so what is the mood in this town right now? >> terrible. it is terrible you can usually drive around you don't see any welding rigs around -- rarely now. >> all of these people should be -- >> all unemployment. >> released a 2.5 billion infrastructure plan. >> those work not just rewards
1:24 am
wealth. union guy i support unions, unions built the middle class it is about time they start to get piece of the action. >> do you feel included in that plan? >> no. of course not used to be blue collar joe green collar joe now. middle class is stand here luges at him telling him we're hurting. and we need jobs. and he has not even he hasn't came on news and said one thing about it. i'm not saying do away with green energy but dropping what we have now -- and going to something different is -- not a very good idea. he's not helping us and i don't know of unions in others -- i don't know if he's going to or not but i know that's what he says and i'll believe it when i see it and he's not for union. >> you and 20 other state have a lawsuit you're seeing the biden administration to try to overturn that pipeline decision. you say killing it is
1:25 am
unconstitutional. >> this is a decision of congress making it is not the president's decision making so when he's used that and eliminated the pipeline permit he did so without proper authority. we're simply asking the court to revoke that cancelation, and to allow pipeline to move forward until congress makes decision. >> are you confident you are going to win? >> we are confident because we're on the rightside of the law. unfortunately for these hardworking teams, it can be months for perhaps before we can get injunction. >> you haven't given up on keystone pipeline? >> no there's solar wind they have to have gas and royaling to run those things. >> they just flipped script. they turned crude oil off. >> i know when we canceled i know that was the beginning of tax on oil and gas to force us in a greener direction we need to stand up let administration know there are americans that depending on oil and gas, an whether -- the administration wants to
1:26 am
admit it or not they depend on it too. only are you gong to give up on pipeline? >> if the gas company sells pipe and gives up then ilk gi up but until then, if that pipe is still up there, there's stells a chance. >> so first time i went to arkansas it was -- right when everybody just lost their jobs. so it felt like everybody was sort of in shock. emotion was raw. now it was really interesting timing for me to be there last week because this is when the major construction of the keystone pipeline would have begun so all of the people i spoke to the men, women that also work on pipeline they shouldn't have been in the town or nebraska -- >> working somewhere instead they're collecting unemployment but only if they're lucky because something else that i learned -- is because so many pipeline construction jobs were canceled because of the pandemic last year, a lot of these people don't qualify for unemployment. >> and one of the things that you hear them say over and over again is we're more than happy to work with you to be as green
1:27 am
as we can. to make improvements, to meet you half way. but it just feels like a lot of them say we're not even given the opportunity to do that. >> that is so, so true other thing i thought that was interesting that a lot of these people said, we looked for green jobs leak they took what president biden and john kerry said really seriously and they went out and looked for them an couldn't piengtd them or they were just so -- they would be so underpaid compared to what they were making on the pipeline it would be such a financial loss to them so still a lot of people struggling out there. >> sure they're grateful that you're telling their story because sometimes you know when you're in that situation you feel like you don't have a voice. >> thanks carly. 27 minutes after the hour a fox news alert national guard is deployed after night of unrest near minneapolis. protesters confronting police after a black man was shot and killed fleeing a traffic stop. our law enforcement panel weighs in. next.

>> a fox news alert mayhem in minnesota, riots and looting erupting in the city of brooklyn center overnight after 20-year-old man shot and killed by officers during a traffic stop. the the national guard rushing in as shots shot by police department and patrol cars damaged here to react is maryland order of police clyde, and former nypd detective doctor oscar thank you both for being here appreciate it. >> thank you, good morning, thank you. >> doctor o'dem we spent time talking to you in the last year with all of the rioting and looting and protest that we've seen happening in states across our country. and you know, we're in a situation this morning where we're talking about a black man a 20-year-old who was stopped in a routine traffic stop, and according to the police statement anyway, police say that drive had an outstanding warrant attempting to take him into custody reentered vehicle
1:32 am
when an officer discharge their weapon your thoughts about that situation this morning. >> first of all, i saw a way -- to the family of the person who lost their lives because police officers we don't go to work every day saying that we're going to shoot somebody because that's not on our job our job to protect lives and property and i'm sure there will be a thorough investigation from what i've heard so far and seen on news coverage there's video cameras from the footage from officer. also witnesses that were there. so we don't want people to jump to conclusions about what happened. we want the investigation to play out. but, of course, i understand this sensitivity of the nature dealing with the trial taking place now with inside minnesota and this highlight it is dangers of police work in a split second decision that officers must make while they're working there day-to-day job. and what they have to do when they go out there to protect the responsible we must keep our mind open and let the
1:33 am
investigation play out. >> i may to doctor's point there let it play out and see details of this, and what transpires especially later today this did happen yesterday afternoon. but -- i guess my question is you know are officer it is trained that when a suspect goes to reenter a vehicle after traffic stop with outstanding warrant that you shoot? >> well officers have to take into account every factor from the back drop to the potential what they know about this suspect. these types of situations happen so fast, and our officers have to make split second decision on whether or not to engage a suspect who could possibly be armed and you have no knowledge of what the suspect is going back to the car to get. so if you know, we avoid some of these situations with cleans and i think right now with a full understanding of all of the facts we will be jumping to conclusion to tell why the gentlemen tried to go back to the car unfortunately sadly it
1:34 am
cost him his life and like doctor said we're praying for his family an we're also praying for the police officers involved in this situation. >> all right we'll continue to follow that story as it develops in mean team, i want to stick with you here clyde for a sending because yanked becomes first state in the nation to repeal its law enforcement officers bill of rights. gobbing ahead pull up here some information on the screen the measures enacted by maryland legislature this includes as i mention repealing the bill of rights. it implements statewide use of force standard creates new disciplinary process and limits use of no knock warrants. what do you make of this? >> well, we view some of these radical reforms as an attempt by some of our legislators to legislate outcomes. view situations that are happening nationally as the beck and call for them to come and enact these radical reforms. we feel that, you know, wn wefn given suspects wanted for crimes
1:35 am
in a 20-second in this case a 20-second head start. we must now as police officers when attempting to serve a warrant nong on the door and wait 20 seconds for this suspect to either, you know, grb a weapon or just destroy evidence. so we think these reforms go too far. we as police officers, we understand sensible reform but some of these reforms go too far. >> yeah doctor, i want to get your sentiment on that as well because i'm just curious what you think future of policing looks leak and think other states own states might adopt it. >> it is possible. i agree with when my colleague said when we say public safety not only it includes the police officer but it includes public safety of the public. so therefore, we want to make sure that you are okay so if you put certain measures in place, without actually speaking to us, you get a chance to impede us which in return hurts you or slowed down response of the
1:36 am
police. to what they're going to do also this may cause police officers to second guess themselves that third time can cause hesitation can jeopardize their life or public leaf at hand then we need to realize we need to sit down at the table and begin to analyze this and not monday morning quarterback certain situations that take place this is where we're having problem recruiting police officers across the country and police officers are retiring at record numbers an we lose people with experience. that's also talk about the good side of police and also about the arrest made murders that are solved, robberies that are solved. we forget that part. we also think about the other part but let's look at the good part also. because the good does outweigh the bad. >> thank you both for joining thus morning. appreciate your time. >> thanks for having us. >> carly. >> thank you. we're learning new details about two utah deputies shot in the face. salt lake city county sheriff
