>> unrest overnight as demonstrators call for police reform in several major cities, including chicago, brooklyn center, indianapolis and oakland. welcome to fox news live, i'm molly line, joining you from boston today. i'm griff jenkens, molly it's great to be with you. we learn more about the police involved shootings of adam toledo and daunte wright in chicago as the derek chauvin trial nears its end in minneapolis. we have steve harrigan on the ground in minneapolis. >> more violence overnight.

over 100 people arrested, the highest so far. some of those in the crowd were carrying baseball bats and throwing rocks and bottles at police and this as the city council here is planning to consider an unarmed traffic safety division for the city. meanwhile, kim potter, the police officer who fired the shot that killed daunte wright, she's made her first court appearance and charged with second degree manslaughter and could face up to 10 years in prison. as for the family, they say manslaughter is in the enough, they're pushing for the charge of murder. >> second degree manslaughter is not okay. i'm not okay with that. that's not right. she murdered my son. my son is never going to come home. she gets to sit on a police pension right now while my son is going to be buried in a

police body cam footage of 13-year-old adam toledo getting shot in march arose. toledo was carrying a gun and running from police in a dark alley, it was the moment that he tossed the gun he was shot and the violent is spreading to oakland, smashing windows and setting cars on fire. in raleigh, durham, people were burning american flags in front of a police station and chanting the names of wright and toledo. things could get worse in minnesota the next week or so, the derek chauvin trial, a former police officer charged in the murder of george floyd. we've seen stores boarded up and shutting down schools wednesday to friday in anticipation of a verdict in that trial that could bring new violence.

griff, back to you. >> steve harrigan on the ground in brooklyn center, thanks very much. molly. >> president biden is now reversing course on his decision to keep the trump era refugee camp at 15,000 after sparking some outrage from democrats. david spunt is live in wilmington delaware where the president is spending this weekend. david, to you. >> hi, molly. a lot of questions about this refugee cap, originally president biden said looking into next fiscal year he want today look around 125,000 and then we were talking about 60,000 for this fiscal year and at least 60,000, then we got the word that he signed this directive that would put the cap at 15,000. the trump era. it's know the clear why there was this number when it was put down the change. the president in wilmington, delaware may not end up keeping the cap at 15,000 after all. he received a lot of pushback

from people even inside the democratic party, specifically those closely aligned with him like illinois senator dick durbin who said in a statement these refugees can wait years for their chance and go through extensive vetting. 35,000 already facing the greatest refugee crisis in our time and there's no reason to limit the number to 15,000. say it ain't so, president joe. a little later, the white house kind of changed course. jen psaki, the white house press secretary put out a statement giving the decimated refugee program we inherited and offers on refugee settlement. initial goal of 62,500 seems unlikely and for a refugee cap for the reminder of the fiscal year by may 15th. that means, molly, they'll clearly move up from 15,000 and earlier the president pledged to increase to 125,000 in the next fiscal year, but appears

that goal will not be met based on some of the issues that the white house is citing. a important note when we're talking refugees. these are folks from all over the world. we hear a lot about what's going on right now down on the southern border. those are people that are actually coming to the southern border and requesting asylum. refugees are actually vetted overseas in east asia, in africa, in different countries in europe and then granted the right to come to the united states. so, a little bit of a difference there between those, but we'll continue to follow this. molly. >> yes. striking very excellent point, absolutely. we appreciate you taking the time to give that out to us because of the backdrop that we see so much on the news is of the southern border and everything happening there. >> it is. >> david spunt. thank you so much. griff. >> president biden facing president from some democrats to expand the supreme court even after putting together a commission to study it. we'll get into the politics of it all in just a moment, but first, let's take a deep dive into the history of high court

and what exactly court packing means. >> the united states supreme court building is one of the most imposing. a worthy meeting place for the highest tribunal of the land. >> since 1869 nine justices presided over the highest court in the land. currently there are six conservatives. amy coney barrett, brett kavanaugh, justice alito, and-- the bench hasn't had a total of nine. in nowhere in the constitution does it say how much it should or must have. and the first judiciary act of 1789 sets the number at six, but fluctuated from as few as five to as many as 10. the last time a president attempted to change it 1937 when fdr introduced a reform bill known as court packing plan speaking to add more

justices to obtain rulings with regard to the new deal. the senate reject it had overwhelming, in 1983 then senator joe biden, a member of the judiciary committee had this to say about fdr's court packing plan. >> it was a bonehead idea. it was a terrible, terrible mistake to make. >> and during the campaign, he opposed it. >> i would not get into court packing. we have three justices next time around we lose control, they have three justices and we begin to lose any credibility. >> two of the most liberal justices of the modern court shared that opposition, the late ruth bader ginsburg and stephen breyer who has been on the bench since 1994. >> those whose initial instincts favor court packing this, bye it long and hard. >> i think it was a bad idea when president franklin delano roosevelt tried to pack the court.

>> now, president biden ordered a 36-person, six month bipartisan commission to study the expansion of the court. and this week, a group of democrats introduced legislation to increase the number of justicing from nine to 13. >> the united states supreme court is broken. it is out of balance. and it needs to be fixed. >> some people would say we're packing the court. we're not packing it, we're unpacking it. >> how likely could a change be coming to the court? well, the bar is high in a 50-50 senate where it would take 60 votes to pass it. molly. >> and of course, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are already reacting to any potential, expansion of the supreme court. lucas tomlinson has the latest on that. >> well, 82-year-old supreme court justice stephen breyer slowed down over the years, but his mind is sharp as ever. it didn't stop a freshman 0

congressman calling on breyer to retire. >> there's no question that justice breyer for whom i have great respect should retire at the end of this term. my goodness, have we not learned our lesson. >> on fox news at night, ted cruz offered a stark warning should democrats succeed in packing the court and raising the number of justices from 9 to 13. >> if they succeed in packing the court, we would have a radical left wing supreme court that would take away our fundamental rights to free speech, our rights to religious liberty, our rights to the second amendment. >> the last gallup poll shows a majority of americans trust the supreme court and approve how the justices handle their job and not all democrats share that view. >> too many americans view our highest court in the land as a partisan, political institution, not our impartial judicial branch of government. >> our colleague jason donner

asked house speaker nancy pelosi how far she was willing to go to pack the court. would you commit to bringing that bill to the floor? >> no. i support the president's commission to study such a proposal. we're back, our members, our committees are working, we're putting together the infrastructure bill and the rest. i don't know that that's a good idea or a bad idea. >> but pelosi went on to say that packing the court is an idea that's not out of the question. molly. >> lucas tomlinson, one of the great fascinating topics of the day right now. appreciate it. griff. >> joining me now is republican tennessee senator and member of the judicial committee marsha blackburn. thank you for taking time. happy saturday to you. i want off the bat your reaction to what your colleague ed markey and others are doing in trying to move quickly towards changing the structural makeup of the supreme court. >> griff, what they're doing is political convenience. they know that the progressives

want to see the court packed. they want to fill it with liberal justices so that they basically have a super legislative majority. now, ed markey five years ago was at the supreme court standing in the exact same spot he was yesterday, calling for adding justices to the supreme court and saying nine was enough, that we did not need to change the supreme court. so, see, this is an argument to say you're making because they think this is their time to destroy our institution. they railed against donald trump for four years because they did not like what he was doing, standing on the constitution. so, griff, they are taking this opportunity to take about adding two new states, about packing the courts, removing the electoral college, federalizing elections, all

these leftist, progressive policies that they have tried to push, they are now going into overdrive, trying to get these because they know they are going to lose the house and the senate in 2022. >> well, we'll see. senator, let me ask you, on the progressive point though, is what this group of progressives doing from ed markey to jerry nadler, does it undermine the president's own commission to study it for six months? >> i think what they're doing is trying to play a little bit of bad cop/good cop. we've seen this with other policies. take for instance, the green new deal. they had some that were on the far left, the progressives, go out and talk about doing a green new deal. now they're putting this into what is the so-called infrastructure bill where the majority of the bill, only 6%

of the bill is for roads and bridges and the majority is for other things, including provisions by the green new deal. they're doing the same thing with court packing, to say we've got this commission and they're saying, well, we're going to push it a little bit by saying, well, we've got a bill and we're ready to go with this. >> with the commission they're looking not only just as the additional justices part of it, but also possibly term limits for supreme court justices. could you ever support or would you support having term limits for justices on the high court? >> griff, i'm not going to support anything that would politicize the court. >> well, let me turn quickly, while we have just a minute left and that is, you have been to the border. you've seen it firsthand. we now know that vice-president kamala harris is going to go as soon as possible, she says. we don't know exactly when, to guatemala and make a stop in mexico, but she's not going to

go to our own border. what do you make of that? >> she should go where i was in arizona. you've been all over that border, griff. she should take her phone and make her own set of pictures and go to these countries then. the northern triangle countries and say this is a crisis, this is a problem, we have to solve this. there are some things that should be done, number one, continue building that wall. the border patrol tell us that needs to be done. vice-president should support that. more technology, more agents on the border, put the remain in mexico policy, i have legislation that would make the migrant protection protocols permanent. we also have a bill dealing with these asyme-- asylum applications and aasylum reduction act and this should

be for the national sovereignty of our country. they've apprehended from 55 different countries so far this year. we have people on the terrorist watch list that are coming in this country. we have some gang members that are coming in and these are the ones that we've apprehended and we know. there are so many we do know not. >> that's right. >> but it's a humanitarian and security crisis. >> thank you for your time. molly. >> now, let's turn to democratic massachusetts congressman and member of the house financial services and house transportation and infrastructure committees, congressman, thank you for joining me and giving up a few minutes of your saturday, we really appreciate it. >> molly thanks. >> i want to kick off-- yes, i want to take off with one of the hot topics. day and your colleague in massachusetts, senator ed markey, is one of those leading the charge expanding the supreme court. now we have the commission put

together under the leadership of president biden. your thoughts, as a baseline. where do you stand on what is sometimes called court packing, expanding the court. >> the overarching goal is to depoliticize the supreme court. for the last decade leader mcconnell politicized the court by blocking merrick garland for even getting a vote on the senate floor. >> would you adhere to some of the suggestions adding as many as four justices that have been suggested by some democrats? >> president biden has wisely put together a bipartisan commission of 36 experts who are going to study this issue with the gravity and the diligence that it deserves, i'm looking forward to that analysis. >> yeah, you know, speaking of this commission put together, the court packing, the bill of course puts some democrats under some hot water, if it were to go to the who us and

floor and unlikely to pass the senate because there's a filibuster there. this commission gives way for democrats to dig in and as you mentioned to get the information, but senator mcconnell mitch mcconnell now the minor leader, has talked about this effort as being a threat unto its own. >> the left wants a sword dangling over the justices while they weigh the facts in every case. the threats are the point. the hostage taking is the point. and responsible people across the political spectrum have an absolute duty to denounce this. >> your thoughts on what he said. you mentioned a moment ago so i have a feeling what you might say. >> well, it's overheated rhetoric like that that has politicized the supreme court in the first place and it's exactly why we need judicial experts to sit in a politicalically insulated room

and discuss this with the gravity is deserves. >> congratulations you're a new congressman in your first term and i want to look at issues in massachusetts and across the nation, you have important committee assignments, house and transportation infrastructure. infrastructure is a hot topic, spending underway, $2.3 trillion suggested by president biden by the biden administration. republicans have pushed back and said they've been looking to work with democrats on about a third. they've been critical of everything that's in the infrastructure bill and want to focus on some of the more traditional things involved in infrastructure generally. and offering $800 billion, but you've recently expressed that democrats could potentially get this done on their own on a party line vote. do you have a reason to reach across to the republicans or do you think the democrats should make this a party issue and move forward without republicans?

>> i view this less as a partisan issue than more as a generational one. the millennial generation the first on history on track to be worse off than our parents. >> and we could look back to our kids, america was in crisis, and we built back better, broadband, roads and bridges and made the american economy the most productive in the world. >> fascinating. you're a millennial yourself and you have to deal with the gen x and on capitol hill. congressman, appreciate your time on this saturday. thanks for joining us. >> a pleasure. >> well, a few workers holding out hope that nine missing workers may be alive in the capsized ship off the coast of louisiana. up next. ar insurance so i only pay for what i need.

night at the time of the massacre. it's one of the largest fed ex hubs in the world. the gunman, 19-year-old brandon scott hole used to work there last year. according to authorities it took him just several minutes to kill eight people during the deadly rampage before killing himself. they say he used a rifle. one father showed up to the scene unsure if his son was dead or alive. >> i came here and they were able to give me that he was in the other building when it happened and i'm so thankful. i didn't know if i was going on, it was scary and i just-- i want everybody to love each other. >> heartbreaking moments for so many people and as it turns out, brandon scott hole was interviewed by the fbi last year. last march his mother called police saying her son might commit suicide by cop.

and they took a gun that was not returned. the fbi questioned him, but didn't find evidence of a crime and did not identify him as espousing a racial ideology. and this is the third mass shooting to take place in indianapolis this year. molly. molly: christina coleman, thank you very much. griff. griff: investigators are looking into the security protocols at the fed ex complex and how a shooter was able to bypass them. the former secret supervisory agent and solutions ceo charles marino joins us, thank you for taking time on this saturday, a tragedy, obviously, this week. i want to get your insight, certainly, as now a security consultant, if you will. looking at fed ex and the protocols in there, what do you make of it and what would you

change in hindsight? >> yeah, let's talk about how this incident fits the active shooter definition to a tee, right? we've got a young white male, a former employee, obviously had some type of grievance against those that worked there and the brand, usually it's both. and is able to cause a lot of damage in a short amount of time. the bad thing about the fact that the individual was a former employee is that they're able to formulate a plan to carry out the attack, griff. this is not somebody that is deranged to the point that they're unable to formulate a plan. we find this in all of these types of situations. what does that mean? that means they've got the layout. they know where security is if it's there at all. they know how to bypass it. they know access control and they also know shift changes. they know when the majority of population at employees at a location, where they're going to be and when they're going to be there. this attack was late at night,

right? obviously this individual was aware of possible shift changes, where people were going to be in the parking lot and also inside, which is why we saw the attack begin outside and make its way inside and more importantly, an individual that not only had the weapon to carry out a high amount of damage in a short amount of time, but he was also willing to die. griff: and obviously, the fbi as you heard in christina's report, the fbi interviewed him last year and didn't see him as a threat. the mother said that he wanted to die by cop, possibly, suicide by cop. was this preventible? >> yeah, you know, it's not uncommon to see local or federal involvement in previous cases. in this case, back in 2020 where the subject was reported by his own mother. he had access to a weapon which was seized and the subject was involuntarily commitmented to

mental health facility, but somehow was able to gain further access to the weapon so the story here is, how are individuals like these able to get access to these types of guns? what we find the commonalty in mass shootings, griff, these are either legally obtained by the shooter themselves or stolen from an immediate family member or friend. it's a little different when we see the high volume of shootings, on the street. in a place like chicago, where these guns kind of make their way in the sub-market on the street and they're sold on the streets and changing multiple sometimes over. all of these guns start their life cycle, griff, as legally obtained weapons and it goes south from there. >> that's a good point. charles marino, a tragic story, thank you for taking time to weigh in with your expertise, molly. >> thanks, griff. molly: u.s. border agents,

( abbot sonic ) >> the biden administration is facing growing criticism over the surge of migrants at the southern bar border as they continue to say that the border is closed. our rich edson has what they're seeing there. good afternoon. >> good afternoon, griff. you know this stretch well. this is the rio grande river at mexico, there are well-worn paths where migrants are dropped off, they're dropped off, they hit the paths and enter the united states. the officials say it's as busy as they've seen it, the numbers reflect that and they're coming off the busiest month, march in 20 years. law enforcement agents say they're headed into what they

normally see the busiest time of year and back in washington, republicans are badgering the administration over reversing trump era immigration policies. >> the crisis has got tn so bad and continues to grow so quickly, the mexican government has to dispatch to the border their own national guard to try to stem the flow of illegal immigrants. if we don't address the root causes we'll continue to see influxes and large numbers at the border cycle after cycle as we've seen the last several years. >> among several policies, republicans say they want the white house to reinstate the u.s. remain in mexico policy that was a trump era policy and that's where migrants apprehended in the united states are brought to mexico to wait for their cases to be decided. the governor here in texas, greg abbott, wants the administration to label the cartels that bring these migrants through as foreign terrorist organizations. he's written president biden to that effect.

the former president, president trump had floated that back in late 2019 as label the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. mexico pushed back on that thing and would lead only to more intervention by the u.s. government into mexican affairs. back to you. griff: you've done a great job covering that, it's a tough assignment because it's so active. i saw on the river with the dps folks. just a question, i did reach out to officials there in the rgv and learned 640 apprehensions, up a shocking number and one that plays out almost every day for the last few months, can you tell us whether they're seeing more of the single adults, more family units or unaccompanied children? >> what they see down here, griff, and you were just down here a couple of weeks ago, they're seeing a lot more families. they're seeing a lot more children, and that's the dynamic that they're not quite used to here in the rio grande

valley. in this particular this spot as well. we were talking a couple of days ago with state officials, texas state troopers who patrol on the texas side and they say one thing they're seeing and border patrol says this, too, they have normally seen a lot of migration here, but it's the country, unaccompanied children and that's the real difference in particular this year. >> rich edson down in mission, texas, keep up the great work. >> thank you. >> top u.s. health experts are meeting on friday to examine the unusual blood clots experienced by a handful of people who took the johnson & johnson vaccine that's on hold now. and joining us is senior scholar at johns hopkins center, doctors, thank you for joining us on a saturday afternoon. it's an important topic and i want to get started on the j&j

pause. your thought was it needed? was it necessary? are you concerned about potential to reduce confidence not only in the j&j vaccine going forward, but maybe in other vaccines as well? >> in my analysis, i don't think it was necessary or needed. the same actions could have been taken in terms of alerting the doctors, alerting public health agencies and convening this committee to try and understand what this risk actually represents, but at the same time allowing the johnson & johnson vaccine to be given to people especially at those higher risk of complications and death. it could have been more targeted with a pause, 18 to 48-year-old females, similar to what happened with the astrazeneca vaccine and i do worry that polling does show that vaccine hesitancy will increase for the johnson & johnson vaccine. this vaccine has had a couple of other bad headlines that people remember and i think it's going to in the minds of many americans think of as a second level vaccine or second

class vaccine and it's not. and vaccine hesitancy is what we'll be combatting. we're less supply constrained and we're more hesitancy constrained and we have to get more vaccine to get this pandemic. >> and the pfizer and the vaccines, people are showing a preference and there are people hesitant to do so at all. what do we do now as the pause is underway, it's not expected to last very long. we expect the most likely thing to happen is that j&j will begin to once again be able to get these shots into arms across the country. where do we go to increase the confidence for people that are shaken by this? >> the longer the pause continues, the harder to restart, but what we have is a lot of data from the johnson & johnson vaccine showing how efficacious it's been and the process going on by the f.d.a., by the c.d.c. showing that they did have the power to detect

something that was very, very rare. so in many ways this is an example of the system working, they're highly attuned to any safety signal they've seen, and maybe they're overly cautious in this situation, but people are looking at rare side effects and they're intervening, they're advising the public and public health care providers and what we're doing is being proactive and talking about the risks of the pandemic. there are tens of thousands of cases occurring every day and tens of thousands of people in hospitals in the united states and we need to get people vaccinated as quick will i as possible if we're going to continue to the same path of normalcy we hope to have in the summer. molly: health experts, leaders across the country and governors of various states as well as some of the leaders of some of the pharmaceutical companies have expressed concerns about the variants. we have been talking a lot about them over the course of and throughout the pandemic. europe, south africa, brazil. how concerned should we be when it comes to efficacy of these

working against the variants and is one variant more powerful than another as far as damaging the antibodies, the protection offered by any given vaccine? >> so the bottom line on the variants, when it comes to the vaccines, they stopped what is-- what we really-- what's important. serious disease hospitalization and death and they seem to do that for the variants. when it comes to the u.k. or the b.1.1.7 common in the united states the vaccine seems to be robust. israel has had a lot of b.1.1.7 and controlling it with the vaccine. the worrisome senior the south africa or brazilian, or p-1 in what the people use. in terms of you getting infected as i said, when it comes to important, serious disease hospitalization and death the vaccines are able to stop that from happening. so the solution to the variants to me has always been vaccine faster, get vaccine into the groups that haven't been

eligible for it. the vaccine to more risk tolerant and ones getting infected if you look. we can handling the variants if we vaccinate basically with no speed limit. molly: you know, you mentioned, you know, folks that are hesitant so we'll see, hopefully we can get up to speed as we see this going in across the country. doctor, thank you so much for your insight as we talk about confidence in the vaccine and continued rollout and concerns brought up by doctors and various leaders across the country. we really appreciate it, thank you, doctor. >> thank you. griff: coming up, a report card on president biden's strategy of new sanctions against vladimir putin next.

administrations for decades now. the biden administration, for this that happened during the trump administration, biden says he's not looking at a level of escalation, but he called putin a killer, and along the border again. what is the biden administration doing right, what are they doing wrong and what can be done. >> look, i think the biden administration is taking the right step by putting sanctions on russia, what we saw was an intelligence operation. and the russians might go further, they have deep access to our networks and they're still in there, by the way, to delete information, destroy information or manipulate information and that could be

problem. we don't see evident of that, but the biden administration needs to be clear if they do that, we are going to punch back. the 80,000 troops at the ukrainian border. and he invade crimea and we should be supporting our allies in the ukraine. molly: and there have been elections, and poisoning rivals and now there's a buildup along the border. is there something the biden administration can do and aggressive enough stance that prevents the biden administration wants to stop the cycle of escalation? >> look, molly, we all want to avoid a cycle of escalation. the men is, adversaries, russia, china, north korea, when there's a new president, they strike. when president obama had the

red line, they saw that. if the russians push further or go after ukraine we need to be prepared to act. like president trump did with qasem soleimani and as president biden did the recent strike in iraq. >> you know, president trump has been criticized for taking too much of a personal take and name calling when it comes to international leaders. biden recently called putin a killer and now we're seeing this increase along the ukraine border some thought. was he upset by that, is this a direct reaction to that? this may be something russia would do, they've taken actions they want to take to increase their own national interests, you know, working with germany, for instance, pipeline energy deals, all of that. so i mean, is there-- is that the wrong diplomatic move? is there language we should be using when we talk about

russia? >> look, i think-- i'm sorry, they told me we have a hard break and i have to let you go. thank you so much for joining us and we appreciate it, we'll be back right after this. age is just a number. and mine's unlisted. try boost® high protein with 20 grams of protein for muscle health. versus 16 grams in ensure high protein. boost® high protein also has key nutrients for immune support. boost® high protein.

reigniting the debate over court packing. some of his fellow democrats amping up the pressure to expand the supreme court. republicans are slamming the idea as politically motivated. welcome to "fox news live," i'm molly line. griff: and i'm griff jenkins. this is a big story here in washington. of course, this all comes just after president biden's creation of a commission that will study the supreme court. that commission create via executive order. lucas tomlinson is live with reactions from across capitol hill. >> reporter: hi, griff. in the last hour tennessee senator marsha blackburn explained why some democrats want to pack the court, expand it from 9 to 13 justices. >> they want to fill it with liberal justices so that they basically have a super-legislative majority. >> reporter: late this week a small group of democrats took their argument to the front steps of the supreme court. most democrats don't want

another rbg scenario after donald trump managed to confirm three new justices to the court. >> i think it's an idea that should be considered, and i think the president's taking the right approach to have a commission to study such a thing. it's a big step. >> some people say we're packing the court. we're not packing it, we're unpacking it. it's a necessary step in the evolution of the court. >> the united states supreme court is broken. it is out of balancement and it -- balance, and it needs to be fixed. >> reporter: the last a gallup poll says a majority of americans trust the court and approve of how the justices are handling their jobs. while 82-year-old supreme court justice stephen breyer has slowed down physically over the years, his clerks say his mind can still run laps around most lawyers. that didn't stop a freshman democratic congressman from new york from calling on breyer to step down. >> there is no question that justice breyer, for whom i have great respect, should retire at the end of this term.

i mean, my goodness, have we not learned our lesson? >> reporter: pelosi says she won't be bringing the issue to the house floor. griff? griff: lucas tomlinson in washington, thank you. molly? molly: unrest in several major cities as demonstrators call for police reform, this all comes as closing arguments in derek chauvin's trial are set to begin on monday. steve harrigan is in brooklyn center, minnesota, with more on all of this unrest. steve. >> reporter: molly, there was more violence here overnight, and the most arrests we've seen so far, more than a hundred. some in the crowd had baseball bats, they were throwing bottles and rocks at police trying to get through this fence. as for the police officer that fired the single shot that killed wright, that is kim potter, she is released on bail. she made her first court appearance, she's facing up to ten years in jail. the unrest spread to chicago, a

gathering that turned violent this after the release of the body cam showing adam toledo fleeing from police, he tossed that gun and was shot and killed by a police officer. the police officer's attorney says the officer is being unfairly vilified. >> how come nobody's going, talking to the latin kings? why has the police officer become the villain in this case? the police -- the latin kings are the ones that recruited him, branded him with a tattoo and then had him out there in the middle of the night shooting at passing by cars. suddenly we've all got no curiosity about what's going on with that, we're vilifying a very good police officer. >> reporter: the unrest has spread to other cities. in oakland are windows were smashed, cars set on fire. in raleigh durham, north carolina, u.s. flags were burned in front of a police station. things could get tougher over the next week, the closing arguments in the case of derek

chauvin, the man accused of murdering george floyd, begin on monday, and schools are shutting for part of next week in anticipation of a verdict which could lead to more violence here. molly, back to you. molly: much of this to watch all across the country. steve harrigan, thank you. griff? griff: molly, police have released the names of the eight victims of the mass shooting at an indianapolis fedex facility including the identity of the shooter. christina coleman has the latest. >> reporter: four of the victims were shot and killed in the parking lot of the facility and four more fatally shot inside the building. one father showed up to the scene unsure if his son was dead or alive. >> i came here, and they were able to give me that he was in the other building when it happened. i'm so thankful. i didn't know if i was going to be able to go on. it was scary. i just, i want everybody to love

each other. >> reporter: just horrifying moments, for sure. again, eight others did not survive. they range in age from 19 to 74 years old, and four of them were part of the sikh community in indianapolis. the sikh coalition shared their condolences and pushed for a full investigation. the victims were some of the roughly 100 people who were at the fedex center thursday night at the time of the massacre. it's one of the largest fedex hubs in the world. this is the third mass shooting to take place in indianapolis this year. >> number one, did you think it would happen in your own backyard, and when it does, it's like a wake-up call. like, you know, this is not farfetched. this could happen. >> reporter: the gunman, 19-year-old brandon scott hole, used to work at the fedex facility last year. according to authorities, it took him just a matter of minutes to kill eight people during the deadly rampage before killing himself. and as it turns out, brandon

scott hole was interviewed by the fbi last year. last march his mother called police saying that her son might commit suicide by cop. the ap report says officers seized a shotgun from hole's house after his mom made thattown phone call and that the gun was not returned. the fbi also questioned him but didn't find any evidence of a crime and did not identify him as espousing a racially-motivated ideology. now investigators are trying to find out a motive as part of the ongoing investigation. griff? griff: christina coleman in our west coast newsroom, thank you. molly? molly: joining us now is nebraska republican governor ricketts, he is pledging his support for the right to bear arms, signing a proclamation to make nebraska a second amendment sanctuary state. governor ricketts, thanks for giving us a couple of minutes here on this saturday afternoon. we really appreciate it. >> my pleasure. molly: talking about this

proclamation which you signed this week, this comes against a national backdrop, certainly, of a lot of news that you couldn't have missed; mass shootings, unrest in major shootings because of -- in major cities. why did you sign this proclamation, was it symbolic, and why now? >> well, first of all, our hearts go out to the families who are grieving for the loved ones and our prayers that they will, you know, be able to get through this horrible, horrible tragedy. but the symptom here is what is going on with the people who think this is okay and addressing the underlying causes is what we should be talking about. the second amendment itself protects our rights to keep and bear arms, and that's why i declared nebraska a sanctuary state for the second amendment so that we send a message to the biden administration that we're going to resist his attempts to take away our second amendment rights. we're going to fight him on this one. it also supports our counties, over half of which have declared

themselves second amendment county sanctuaries. and then, of course, we've got pro-second amendment legislation in our legislature. you know, the tragedies that we're talking about here, you need to address the underlying issues and not look at the guns, because it's the people that are creating these problems. molly: and that was actually my next question. you had mentionedded, you expressed your sympathies. unfortunately, we we saw just most recently in indianapolis the fedex shooting, but nebraska has not been immune either to mass shootings. you had a very notable mass shooting at a mall in 2007 and also just in i think it was 2020 at a sonic drive-in. so the people of your state have also experienced this pain. so what can be done to address mass shootings? >> well, one of the things that we've been doing here is to really work at opening up lines of communication between our education officials, our mental health professionals and law

enforcement to be able to find folks who may be susceptible to the kind of thinking that leads to these kind of shootings and get to them early to be able to, you know, find those folks that need that help and get to them before they actually commit these crimes. i think, again, that's part of what we're saying. we're trying to address that. "u.s. news & world report" just ranked nebraska the best state for mental health. we've worked to improve that aspect of it. so there's things that we can do in our civil society that can help address some of the underlying causes. but taking away guns from lawful, law-abiding citizens is not the answer. molly: democrats are pushing for various reforms they believe will help to rein in gun violence, extending background checks, red flag laws. is in your way to push back against the democratic push in the other direction? are you concerned about federal overreach? >> yeah, absolutely. this is really a symbol letting

the biden administration know if you overstep your authority, we will be fighting you on this. we did this during the obama administration when that administration overstepped its authority. we took them to court. we'll be fighting, you know, as well on this one if they want to take away our second amendment rights. and that's really a part of the message we're sending here with this proclamation, that we are a sanctuary state for our second amendment rights. molly: just a quick shift, i want to go to the economy. you are seeing positive statistics there in nebraska. some good signs that the economy is bouncing back here in the wake of covid and the vaccine rollout. but we are, there's a new administration. this is something that, you know, every state leader has to deal with, and a new administration can mean new things. for instance, you know, big changes with the keystone pipeline when the president revoked the permit. the stimulus money, big impact also in nebraska. a lot of people got checks for that. but now the biden administration

has a proposal for infrastructure, that sort of thing, various tax increases. where do you see opportunity, where do you see concern as the biden administration rolls out sort of their budget plans? >> yeah. so here in nebraska we got the lowest unemployment rate in the country. in fact, we averaged the lowest unemployment rate throughout 2020. we had the sixth fastest growing economy the fourth quarter of 2020 and the seventh best performing economy in 2020 overall. and so, you know, we're doing very well here. and when you see some of the things like this infrastructure plan and you take a look at it and say, well, really not much of it, only about 5% is going to roads and bridges and even to get more expanded including things like waterways, ports, airports, mass transit, you're only getting to 16% of the bill or 15% is actually going toward what could be broadly defined as infrastructure. the rest of it is the really a political agenda pushing the green new deal. and this is where i get very

concerned with what the biden administration is doing. if they're going to use the cover of an infrastructure bill to push their political agenda, what you're going to see is really a disaster for the economy, not the health of the economy going forward. and when it comes to data tax, raising taxes, you know, we all live within our means. every nebraska family has to live within their means, and that's what we do as a state. we're a pay as you go kind of place here in nebraska. we don't spend money we don't have and, of course, that's not been the case with the federal government. and the more that we pile on this debt and print money, the more we're going to see economic hard times ahead, potential high inflation, all of that. and that's going to create a lot of problems for our nebraska families and families all across this country. molly: your criticism has mirrored that of many republicans when looking at that infrastructure bill in particular. governor pete rickets, we appreciate your time today. i wish you and, of course, the folks in your state much prosperity as we go on with

2021. thank you. >> thanks very much for having me on. i appreciate it. ♪ ♪ griff: a record number of unaccompanied migrant children are in border patrol custody as the biden administration scrambles to care for these children crossing the southern border in growing numbers daily. rich edson is in mission, texas the, with a firsthand look at the situation on the border. good afternoon, rich. >> reporter: griff, you are familiar with this sector, this is one of the busiest stretches and the busiest sector on the southwest border. mexico's right behind us here, and when you go up and down these river banks, these areas are just strewn with deflated rafts, discarded clothes and food wrappers and paths that lead up into the united states. you go 10 miles down the river, it's a similar sight. we watched all week as border patrol agents gave migrants water, brought them for

processing. the governor here now calling for the biden administration to label the cartels that profit from these human smuggling and trafficking as foreign terrorist organizations. >> it would allow the united states to freeze the assets of these organizations and their members and basically put them out of business. remember, these cartels are business organizations, multithe billion dollar businesses. we want to put them out of business, and biden needs to step up and start doing that. >> there's no question that trump left us with a mess on immigration. you been reporting on that -- you've been reporting on that, we've been fighting it. he's destroyed every legal avenue for immigration. >> reporter: now, the white house has described this surge as cyclical made worse by covid and hurricanes that have hit central america. the highest border apprehensions in march, last month, 172,000. that's the highest number in 20 years. customs and border protection says they're apprehending nearly

500 unaccompanied children a day here with more than 20,000 in u.s. government custody. the u.s. has been expanding facilities here to house children, trying to find ways for family members to get them to different places throughout the united states. griff, back to you. griff: crazy numbers. rich edson in mission, texas, thank you. joining us now to react is national border patrol council president brandon judd. brandon, thanks for taking time on saturday. you just heard rich's report there and the rgv, agents tell me they had about 1640 apprehensions in the last 24 hours. it's really getting pretty much to the point they haven't even seen in their 20-year career. what is the solution? what do we do? what do you make of what's happening there on the ground at the boarer? >> the solution is -- border. the solution is very simple. we have to look towards the future. i mean, as long as we continue to release people into the united states after they violate our laws with no consequences,

people are going to continue to come. that's the simple fact. obviously, people are coming to this country because this is the greatest country in the world. we do have, you know, we have the biggest open arms, we want to accept people into this country, but we want to do it legally, not illegally. and that's the problem, is both the right and the left want to continue to politicize this issue, but the left wants to excuse illegal immigration. they want to excuse the cartels abusing these children, taking these children and sexually abusing them, physically abusing them, mentally abusing them. you know, they want to excuse this, and they continue by policy, they continue to perpetuate this situation. it's gaining cartels ground, and it's making them billions of dollars every year off of human misery. griff: brandon, you mentioned the release of the migrants, and we've covered that quite extensively, but you sent me this morning a story of what's happening in arizona where the

texas dps, department of public safety, made a traffic stop and released some migrants. explain. >> yeah. this is just a good with example of how overwhelmed the united states border patrol is right now. texas dps made a stop. there were 17 people in a vehicle. i mean, that's dangerous right there. i mean, we just saw what happened in el seven troh, california -- el centro, california. but these smugglers, they don't care about people. but when they overwhelm the system, then we don't have the resources to go up and take these people into custody. arizona dps had to release these 17 individuals. we don't know who they are, we don't know what countries they're from, we don't know what their intentions are here in the united states, and that's extremely scary. and when you couple that with the 61,000 people that were able to evade apprehensions in the months of february and march, that is a scary situation for this country. griff: we've just got about 30 seconds, but i do want to ask

you, vice president harris has said she will travel soon to guatemala and also to mexico, but not to the u.s. border. what do you say? >> because if she goes to the u.s. border, people are going to expect her to fix the problem, so she avoids it. that is, that's disgusting because that's putting politics ahead of what's best for this country. that's what the president and vice president are supposed to do. griff: brandon judd, thank you for joining us and weighing in. a big story we'll continue to follow with you. thank you, sir. molly? >> thank you. molly: prince william and harry come together to remember their grandfather, prince philip. that's next. ♪♪ ♪ life... doesn't stop for diabetes. be ready for every moment, with glucerna.

child gets shot. but just because it's tragic doesn't mean that it's not justified. once you have a gun, that takes it out of a completely different situation, it takes it out of the george floyd situation. and you can ask questions like the reason why a 13-year-old child is running around the streets with a gun. s it is tragic, but that officer had no choice. to argue that in the eight-tenths of a second, he shouldn't have pulled his gun and he shouldn't have shot this kid, it's ridiculous. now, look, there are people who deserve blame for this but certainly not the officer. molly: something else in the backdrop is an enormous amount of homicides in chicago. chicago up by 55%. it is dangerous to be out in the middle of the night in chicago. what does this mean for responding officers, for the community there and what they've seen? >> well, it's absolutely horrible. i mean, it's so unsafe right

♪ molly: fresh concerns about big tech censorship after facebook prevents the sharing of a new york post story calling out a black lives matter cofounder for a real estate buying spree. alex hogan joins us live from new york city with the latest on this still-growing controversy. alex. >> reporter: hi, molly. some calling it cancel culture, other people saying they are defending big tech's move for censoring and watching some of the things that are being posted on its la platform. this latest issue is a result of a new york post article posted in relation to some of the recent real estate purchases of a black lives matter founder. facebook removing the post's article for violating its privacy and personal information policy. one sports journalist, jason his lock, says twitter sparely blocked his tweets about the demographics in that neighborhood. patrice colors bought four homes

for upwards of $3 million. the founder herself says, quote: i work multiple jobs across many organizations, i'm also a published author, writer, producer, professor, public to speaker and performance artist. i love my work in all of these areas, and i work hard to provide for my family. meanwhile, on thursday twitter permanently banned project veritas founder james o'keefe, suing "the new york times" and also threatened to sue cnn for claims that the stories are deceptive. o'keefe, speaking on hannity this weekend. >> we're going to go ahead and sue twitter for suspending my account and falsely and maliciously claiming that i did something that i did not do. and i speak on behalf of a lot of people. i started this because i was fighting against injustice. >> reporter: now again, excuse me, that was on thursday, those comments. meanwhile, some other people are firing back saying that these

big companies need to be monitoring on their platforms to make sure that there is no sharing of misinformation. molly? molly: interesting to watch as it's been going on with big tech. alex hogan, thank you. so. griff, to you. griff: all right. for more on this and other top stories, i want to bring in our political panel, former white house senior adviser for strategic communications mercedes schlapp and fox news contributor richard fowler. mercedes, richard, thank you for taking time. we have got so much, but let's start just with the report that alex hogan gave us. mercedes, i'll start with you. there's two pieces to that, of course. the james o'keefe suing twitter for blocking him and, of course, "the new york post" story that facebook is not allowing people to share. does any of this surprise you, and what does it tell us? >> no, not at all. what it tells us is that these big tech companies are more powerful than even the government. i mean, the mere fact that they

sound like they're the fourth branch of government where they're focused more on censoring individuals, on really limiting free speech and, you know, what's interesting, we had interviewed james o'keefe hours before his twitter got suspended for no reason except because he was exposing the truth about cnn and how they very clearly were trying to derail the trump candidacy and insure that biden would get elected. and so that obviously made jack dorsey and the gang get too nervous and take down james' work that he's been doing for quite some time. griff: richard, i'm not sure if it's jack dorsey and the platform itself or the woke mobs on these platforms that really have the power here. in these hearings on capitol hill in the past, you've seen somewhat bipartisan pushback to rein in these big tech companies. what do you think? do you agree with trying to rein

them in on this cancel culture? >> well, thanks for having me, griff, and it's good to see you, mercedes. look, a couple of things here. number one, i do believe that we have to think about, we have to, as a country, reimagine how we do technology, right? and part of that is putting some regulations in place, working with big tech to figure out how we create a way where they can operate in the free market and we also allow for some fairness on their platforms. but with that being said, the key word here is capitalism, right? whether or not you like what twitter does, if people don't like twitter, if the folks feel like they're being canceled, they can crypt a new platform, and -- crypt -- crept createuate a new platform. if you have a problem with twitter or facebook, you ultimately have a problem with capitalism. the market makes the decision. griff: about the free market, free speech is at the root of it. i don't know if either of you

happened to catch sharon osbourne who recently left "the talk," ironically named, because she was defending piers morgan and, of course, she spoke out for the first time with bill maher last night on hbo. here's some of what she had to say. take a listen. >> what about the people that are cut? >> right. >>s from knees down and they can't afford to go and get lessons on what's politically correct and how to talk to people? it's -- what happens to them? >> right. that's a great -- >> you know? it's not fair. >> right. >> it's not fair because it isn't about being a racist, it's about maybe not knowing what is correct and woke for your language that day. griff: to get both of your reactions, mercedes, i'll start with you. >> i've got to tell you, a poll just came out that 73 percent of americans believe that cancel culture has gone way too far. we are spending so much time editing our language that we're not even to speak freely.

and, you know, you see so many people afraid to speak up, and this is a problem with the fact that these big tech companies are silencing us that even the leftists are silencing us. the far left. they don't want diversity, thought or opinion because they just identify us as either being racist or play the identity politics. it's incredibly harmful to our society. we all have to come together as a nation to unite, not divide us, by trying to limit the conversation and the dialogue that can result in productive solutions in america. griff: richard, i see you shaking your held. we only have about 20 seconds. quickly, your thoughts. [laughter] >> sure. listen, i agree with mercedes, we have to unite. but for us to have unity, you have to have trust. and the truth is we have to keel with a lot of systemmish finish deal with a lot of systemic racism problems in this country. until we put our feet in somebody else's shoes and see

how the system's affecting them, then we can't actually ever have unity because people refuse to go beyond their current lived experiences to see somebody else's lived experience. >> then they've got to stop calling people names. i think that's a good first -- >> but, mercedes, i'm about educating people. >> absolutely. >> we're going to have to talk about what racism really is and the impact that it has on the black community. griff: we will have to save that for another day. mercedes, richard, thank you for taking time. we will bring it back at some point. it's an important discussion. thank you very much. >> take care. molly: some of the toughest training the u.s. military offers, we will go to ranger school next. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ the bowls are back. applebee's irresist-a-bowls all just $8.99. ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete,
