1:02 pm
eric shawn. congresswoman waters also weighed in on the trial of former police officer derek chauvin in nearby minneapolis saying if he is acquitted in the murder of george floyd, she said protesters will still need to make their voices heard. >> we're not going to be satisfied unless we get justice in this case. stay on the streets as we've got to get more active, we've got to be more confrontational, you've got to make sure that they know -- [inaudible] eric: that was last night on the seventh night of the protests there. mike tobin reporting live from brooklyn center, minnesota. mike? >> reporter: and, eric, some of what representative waters said is that the political right is racist, that the young people need to stay in the street and get more confrontational. in light of the clashes with police, the looting, the vandalism, republicans were quick to react. >> just the hypocrisy and the
1:03 pm
dangerous rhetoric that she's spewing. it's not helpful, doesn't help the country, it's not helping us heal, and i'm just ready to see the rest of the mainstream media call this out for the hypocrisy that it is. >> reporter: now, we caught up with representative waters. she said she is not inciting violence. >> -- more violence by -- >> i'm a nonviolent person. i don't believe in violence. >> reporter: now, the the protests in brooklyn center were peaceful last night, no clashes with police, no mass arrests. there was one protester who was arrested in minneapolis. also in minneapolis, a couple of guardsmen were injured. what happened was someone pulled up in a light colored suv and took pot shots at the guardsmen who were standing along with some police. shattered glass injured the guardsmen, so no serious injuries. of course, the development we're going to be watching tomorrow is the end of the derek chauvin murder trial. back to you.
1:04 pm
eric: and, mike, just quickly, what is the situation during the day, you see the protests and damage at night. is it calm, is it still tense where you are right there on the ground? >> reporter: it's pretty calm during the day. during the daytime it's always pretty calm. it takes on the atmosphere of a street fair, people barbecue, a lot of churches hand out necessary supplies, they cook food. people do do some chanting, but it's also peaceful during the daytime. it's after dark usually when you get a big crowd and things escalate. pointing out again, last night no clash with police. eric: good counterpoint on that. thank you so much. arthel: police in new york city were attacked during a traffic stop yesterday. body cam video shows the suspect trying to get out of the car and throwing an unknown liquid in the officer's face before taking off. the driver was eventually stopped again and allegedly
1:05 pm
threw a lit molotov cocktail at a patrol car. it bounced off the cruiser and shattered on the street. the suspect drove off and crashed nearby. police found more molotov cocktails in the vehicle. the officer, by the way, who was hit with the liquid was taken to a hospital and is expected to be okay. eric: well, president biden now calling the situation at the southern border a crisis. this after the administration had basically not used that word, they've been calling it a challenge. we take a live look at our drone there on the left, you can see the drone, it is right now in mission, texas, which is right near the border. the president used that word telling reporters that he does plan to raise the cap on the refugee withs allowed into the u.s. that's different than the migrants who are coming in, by and large. david spunt live in wilmington, delaware, where the president has been spending the weekend at his delaware home. hi, david. >> reporter: hi, eric.
1:06 pm
and republicans have actually been calling on president biden to call this a crisis basically since the day he took office. as you said, the white house and officials there, members of the administration, have been saying challenge, but it was after a round of golf actually here in wilmington, delaware, yesterday when the president first used that word at least on camera. listen. >> problem was that refugee -- >> r eporter: the president was asked about extending the refugee cap for this fiscal year. late last week he signed an emergency determination which would essentially put a cap at the trump era level of 15,000, but many on the left, democrats -- even those close to the president -- say that is just simply too low, and there was immediate pushback.
1:07 pm
>> he said in february that he was going to lift the refugee cap, and i believe that he needs to do that right now. >> reporter: now, after some of that public pushback from representative jayapal, you saw right there, also illinois senator dick durbin, white house officials came out and said wait just a minute here, we're actually going to increase the number a little bit over the next month. here is national security adviser jake sullivan on with chris wallace this morning on "fox news sunday." >> the president wanted to go with this in two steps. the first step was to change the allocation so that people in africa could literally get on planes this week. and the second would be to raise the cap as we were fixing the system and its processing. he took the first step this past week, he will take the second step in the weeks ahead. >> reporter: and the president originally planned a refugee cap at around 62,000 this fiscal
1:08 pm
year, 125,000 next fiscal year. when that paperwork was signed on friday for a 15,000, many were not happy about that. now, it's the office of refugee resettlement, also knowns as orr, they are responsible for dealing with those on the southern border coming to just seek asylum unannounced. also these refugees, which is really a different situation, eric and arthel, when you look at it. refugees are in countries all across the world. they are vetted, then given the clearance to come to the united states. the administration saying orr, that specific office, was overwhelmed. that's where the confusion came in. but the bottom line from the administration, they will increase that number from 15,000. eric? eric: yeah. often fleeing oppression, dictatorships and those political situations. david spunt, thank you. arthel: okay, eric and david. well, republicans are slamming democrats over proposals that add four new seats to the supreme court.
1:09 pm
despite president trump appointing three justices in four years, it's not the first time gop critics have accused democrats of court packing. griff jenkins has more. >> reporter: since 1869 there have been nine justices on the bench. for that it fluctuated from as few as five to as many as ten, and this term court packing, that stems from 1937 when president fdr tried to change it for favorable rulings for the new deal. but the senate shot it down. now president biden, who as a senator opposed the idea, has ordered a 36-person, six month study of expanding the court. a group of progressive democrats introduced a bill changing the number from 9 to 13 to shake up the current 6-3 conservative majority. one of the bill's cosponsors, senator ed markey, explained why he believes the change is necessary. >> we're actually here because the united states supreme court is broken. the court is out of balance. too many americans view it as a
1:10 pm
partisan, political institution, not our impartial judicial branch. of government -- branch of government. >> but republicans introduced their own legislation to maintain the bench at nine justices, slamming democrats' motives behind the move. >> this is a power grab by the left. many of us are concerned this will destroy the foundation of our very government. remember our founding fathers, they knew the government had to be restrained, it had to be contained to protect the freedomses and the rights to of the american people. >> reporter: and justice stephen breyer, one of the most liberal members on the bench since 1999 4, said earlier this month that making changes that might be perceived as political in nature would lead to an erosion in trust in the high court. this as another cosponsor of the bill, freshman congressman jones of new york, is calling on breyer at 82 to step down. arthel? arthel: okay. griff jenkins, thank you. eric. eric: arthel, in new york city
1:11 pm
some parents and teachers are among those calling out three heat and very prestigious private schools in manhattan. that over a controversial curriculum change that critics say are based on politics and race. alex hogan tracking all of this from hanna hat tan right now -- from manhattan right now. hi, alex. >> reporter: hi, eric. this first one is after a teacher at grace church school here in manhattan was reportedly told to stay home after releasing an essay about the school's anti-racism policies. paul rossi writing in part: imagine being a young person in this environment where you risk voicing your doubts especially if you have never heard a single teacher question it. he's also coming to the defense of a father at a separate school. andrew goodman wrote a 1700-word letter to the roughly 600 families. he says after seven years of sending his daughter there, he's withdrawing her from the institution over the new changes. quote: if the administration was
1:12 pm
truly concerned about so-called equity, it would be discussing the cessation of admissions for legacy siblings and families with especially deep pockets. lastly, the headmaster at another prestigious school is stepping down. staff members wrote an 8-page meter calling for more diversity approaches with the latest back and forth, critics are now sounding off about some of the changes with these school in the cities. >> we have been obsessing over our differences for a decade, and now that's getting transmitted to the next generations. >> reporter: now, some of these schools are responding to that saying that these are policies that are needed to not only adapt to changes, but to teach the students and the children of what's going on around them as they see protest that have taken place throughout the last year. that again is their response to
1:13 pm
why these new policies on anti-racism, equity are so needed right now. eric? eric: all right, alex, thanks so much. arthel? the. arthel: republicans accuse the white house of sending mixed messages about vice president harris and her role overseeing the crisis at the southern border. so what are the political risks for ms. harris as she tackles her first major job as vp? ♪ ♪ 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 ♪

1:17 pm
♪♪ arthel: the white house has found itself repeatedly clarifying vice president kamala harris' role as point person on the border crisis. the administration explaining that the vice president's mission is to conduct diplomatic talks on the root causes of the problem, not to visit the border despite growing pressure from republicans to do so. this as new polling shows the biden administration has a 42% approval rating on immigration which is lower than its scores on other major issues. here to the talk about it is reuters white house correspondent jeff mason. so, jeff, you know, when he was vice president, mr. biden was a assigned a similar role. but as you well know, the political landscape has drastically changed since then. so has president biden put vice president harris in potential
1:18 pm
political peril? >> well, that's a good question. i don't think that's his intention. i do think that republicans view weakness there, and that's why you're seeing messaging from the republicans tying vice president harris very closely to the, what's going on at the border and using words like border czar even though that's not language that the white house has used or has connected to what her role. so, you know, i think there's a big political aspect to this, and republicans are trying to take advantage of that. arthel: meanwhile, vice president harris, she is still defining her role as that of diplomat. she says, listen, i'm working directly with heads of state. in fact, here's the vice president on this right now. >> will you visit the southern border? >> the president has asked secretary mayorkas to address what is going on at the border. i have been asked to lead the
1:19 pm
issue of root causes in the northern triangle. i'm looking forward to traveling, hopefully as my first trip, to the northern triangle, stopping in mexico and then going to got mall -- guatemala. arthel: and the vice president says she's already spoken with the presidents of mexico and guatemala. how might she navigate the diplomacy route without making costly missteps? >> i think the key there is that wordy proposal city. by focusing on discussions with -- word, diplomacy. focusing on the northern triangle plus mexico, she can sort of address the root causes of what is leading to the migrants coming to the u.s. border. this is an issue that has plagued republican and democratic administrations. and by sort of elevating her to the diplomacy level, it gives her some experience, gives her some time to work on flexing those diplomacy muscles while also at least from a political
1:20 pm
perspective and the biden white house, not tying her directly to that border issue as republicans are trying to do. march arkansas yeah. because -- arthel: yeah. because from this long view toward the 2024 presidential election, vice president harris is most likely the democrats' star player. so naturally, republicans will try to pick off any potential competition. however, if the gop if tries to make the border crisis her albatross, let's say, without working in earnest to help solve the crisis, could such inflexibility hurt republicans politically? >> well, i think what could potentially hurt republicans on this is being sort of focused only on one issue, and i think the white house trying to show, look, vice president harris is doing this job, but she's also a make time and needs to make time to work on the, to talk about the american rescue plan, to talk about the coronavirus and other priorities that this white house has from a policy level. republicans see weakness, and
1:21 pm
you illustrated that with the poll numbers with regard to immigration and this white house, so they're focusing on that. and, of course they're focusing on vice president harris. yourself right to say she'll be a key figure in 2024. if president biden opportunity run for re-election, he has said he plans to, but if he ends up changing his mind, she's going to be the front the-runner for the democrats, for sure. either way, she remains a central figure on the democratic side over the next four years. to get back to your question what might hurt the republicans, i think the democrats will just argue that they're being myopic in focusing on one issue. not the only one this country is facing right now. arthel: meanwhile, lastly, there is intramural bickering on the democrats' side. how could that block a path to solving the border crisis which is a big deal and backfiring on the democratic party? >> well, and you certainly saw that -- listen, this is not
1:22 pm
apples for apples, but it's related with the news about the refugee cap on friday. certainly, democrats are eager to see president biden move away from all things related to the immigration policies of hid predecessor, donald trump -- his predecessor, donald trump. and if the president doesn't move enough in that direction, it's going to cause and is causing concern on the left. so, yeah, there are divisions in the democratic party about this issue as well, and that's going to make it a challenge on both sides. arthel: jeff mason, we have to live it there. thank you very much. good to see you, as always. take care. eric? eric: well, arthel and jeff, what a weekend at fort benning, georgia. the u.s. army ranger competition ended just a few hours ago. you know, that's considered a test of the best. it's the nation's most elite soldiers going after the title of best ranger. watching it all over the weekend has been our charles watson. he has more now from fort benning.
1:23 pm
>> reporter: yeah, this is one of the last events of the weekend, and these ranger teams have some pretty big targets here. i'm talking about massive tanks that you can probably see off in the distance. i want you guys to get a look at this massive 50-caliber machine gun that steve is firing. it's one of the army's largest, by the way. and that's not it. the ranger teams also have grenade and rocket launchers they'll need to utilize to knock out these targets. you know what, guys, there's nothing about this weekend that's been considered easy. these guys have been going almost nonstop since about 6:00 in the morning friday when they started out the competition with a 9-mile buddy run fold up by some -- followed up by some pretty tough obstacle courses. this morning alone we've seen remaining teams jump out of blackhawk helicopters and rush over to bob cl courses and essentially balance their weight
1:24 pm
without falling into the water. it's been a tough weekend for these guys, but certainly the team that comes out on top will certainly have earned the title best ranger. eric? eric: all right. thanks, or charles. in our book, they're all the best. arthel? arthel: we do have an update from austin, texas, on that shooting that killed three people today. police have identified the suspect as 41-year-old steven broderick. they say he is a travis county sheriff's detective who is accused of sexually assaulting a child. police say he should be considered armed and dangerous and warned that he might try to take hostages. residents in that area have been told to shelter in place and, of course, we will continue to bring you updates as we get them here on "fox news live." we'll be back after this break. .

arthel: time for a look at some of our other top stories. investigators who say the gunman who killed eight people in the at a fedex center in indianapolis are used two assault rifles he bought legally, months after the fbi seized a shotgun from the home when his mother warned officials her son may commit suicide by cop. two passengers were on a united engine flight in colorado, they're now suing the company claiming they suffered personal, emotional and financial injuries. the engine blew apart shortly after takeoff. no physical injuries were reported. and a major destination milestone in the u.s., the federal centers for disease control announcing today that half of all adults, nearly 130 million people, have received at least windows of the covid-19 vaccine -- one dose, nearly a
1:30 pm
third of adults, 84 million, have been fully vaccinated. >> the bulk of this country today is permissive, it's secure. it is clear that that's the case. eric: defense secretary donald rumsfeld back in 2003 announcing that major combat in afghanistan has ended, and he said back then the country was stable. what began as our response against osama bin laden's terrorist network and the ruling damn ban in response -- taliban has now become america's longest war. president biden, as you know, has promised to finally end it, gradually withdrawing all american troops from the country starting may 1st saying we have achieved the main goal of insuring that afghanistan will no longer be a launching pad for terrorists. >> the war in afghanistan was never meant to be a multigenerational undertaking. we were attacked. we went to war with clear goals.
1:31 pm
we achieved those objectives. bin laden is dead and al-qaeda is degraded in iraq -- in afghanistan. and it's time to end the forever war. eric: what happens now? joining us is retired army i lieutenant general douglas lute. he lived the role there from the inside, former assistant to the president and deputy national security adviser for iraq and afghanistan and today is chairman at bgr and ceo of cambridge global. ambassador, thank you for joining us here on "fox news live." 9 is the president's ending and withdrawal of troops, do you think it's wise and appropriate, or is it misguide as some feel and a premature mistake? >> no, i think it's entirely appropriate. things have changed dramatically. in those two clips that your listeners just heard from 2001 to 2021, they've changed in afghanistan. afghanistan is a different
1:32 pm
place. al-qaeda is a different enemy. and we're a much stronger counterterrorism force. and our homeland is much more secure than it was in 2001. so across all three fronts -- afghanistan, our main enemy and ourselves -- conditions have improved in our favor since 2001, and i think the president's move is responsible and appropriate. eric: you know the concerns of critics saying, look, the taliban has not been defeat, they've been stringing this out, waiting for us to leave in order to start attacking, and it will be used by them as a safe haven for terrorism. here's lindsey graham expressing those worries and concerns about that. >> the last time we ignored afghanistan, we had 3,000 americans killed. afghanistan was a safe haven for al-qaeda. they planned the attacks against our country there. have we learned nothing from iraq when we withdraw from these places and don't have an
1:33 pm
insurance policy residual force to watch the bad guys, they come back here. if you don't have your foot on their throat over there, they're coming back here. eric: what is your view and response to thatsome. >> first of all, i don't think it's within our means to defeat the taliban. the taliban are an indigenous afghan political force as well as a security force, as well as a military force. we've tried for nearly 20 years to defeat the taliban. and now even our military leaders admits that there's no military solution in afghanistan. so what is the solution? the solution is politics. the solution is diplomacy. and i think the president's move prioritizes politics and diplomacy in an important way and comes to a full stop with this illusion that there's some sort of military solution there. eric: so when you say politics, what would you like to see happen?
1:34 pm
howhow would you like to see the government and the taliban try to hash this out? is that even possible? >> yes, i think it is possible. in fact, it's in place now. they're at the table. so the first time in this 20-year experiment over the last two years we've actually had two afghan parties that matter, the afghan government and the afghan taliban, at the same table talking about the future of afghanistan. so prioritizing that diplomatic effort and putting pressure on both sides to come to a compromise to solve -- what you're asking is not a 20-year war, but a 40-year war of civil strife and outside intervention. so only afghans talking to afghans are going to get us to the end here. eric: and in terms of our participation and the record of the u.s. military which we hold so dear, you had some pretty blunt words back in, what, i
1:35 pm
think 204. let me read part of what you said. you said we were devoid of a fundamental understanding of afghanistan. we didn't know what we were doingment if the american -- doing. if the american people knew the magnitude of this dysfunction, who will say this is in vain? if we started with the afghan security forces in 2002-2006 when the taliban was weak and disorganized, things may have been different. instead, we went to iraq. you know, ambassador, i think of michael murphy, i think of all the, all of the great american young men and women and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. what is your sense of the legacy of this involvement, of what we have learned and how do you -- how should we remember and know and apply the lessons of afghanistan going forward? >> i think the first and foremost lesson is that when we move into operations like inning
1:36 pm
afghanistan, which is -- like in afghanistan which is completely justified in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, we have to understand the fabric of the society we're moving into, and we have to set our goals in that society. in this case, afghanistan, a place that's very foreign from us, in a very sort of humble way, with humility, so that our goals and the resources we apply are aligned. and i think fundamentally we did not do that in afghanistan. we had rather ambitious, overly ambitious goals, and year after year after year we underresourced our effort in afghanistan giving the taliban time to recoup. and that's exactly what they did. eric: retired lieutenant general douglas lute. thank you, general, for your service to our nation, and thank you for your insight right here on "fox news live." thanks for joining us. >> thank you. arthel: well, activists in russia are calling for massive protests in moscow and st.

which way we're going on this. hopefully, we'll get back on track. but i don't think there's going to be anything that'll linger beyond that. i hope not. i don't think so. eric: well, the johnson & johnson pause has been extended until at least friday. that, of course, is dr. anthony fauci saying that researchers are still investigating why six women got blood clots after they received the j&j vaccine. so far though nearly 7 million people have received the shot. there are now reports that this delay is among some of the reasons for some rising mistrust in vaccines by some. dr. tom frieden, former director of the centers for disease control, president and ceo of resolve to save lives which is a $225 million, five-year program to prevent epidemics and cardiovascular disease, joins us now. doctor, always good to see you. can you clarify what this pause means? six women, 18-48, one -- sadly -- died. is there any relation at all to
1:45 pm
the j&j vaccine? >> i think the first thing to say is this should give us more confidence that our safety monitoring systems are working. this is what we expect. if there is a possible problem, we stop, look, listen and plan, and that's what's happening. the systems were strong enough to identify a one in a million possible problem. now, over the course of the coming few days, we should learn more. are there more cases. were there risk factors. which treatments work. and that should enable the u.s. to lift the pause at the end of this coming week, i would hope, if we don't find that there are many more problems. this is exactly the kind of safety check that we need to make sure that doctors have all the information they need to vaccinate and treat any possible complications of vaccinations and that all of us who are concerned with vaccinations can have all of the facts before we get a vaccine. eric: let's say you've received the j and j vaccine and you're a woman. these are all caucasian women.
1:46 pm
one was on contraceptives. what should you watch out for, and how concerned should you be? >> well, if you had the vaccine more than three or four weeks ago, as far as we know, your risk is zero. if you had the vaccine within the past two or three weeks, you have to look out for pain, bad headaches, abdominal pain, leg pain, shortness of breath. those are all signs of abnormal blood clotting. a quick test from your doctor can show if your platelets are normal. if they're not, that suggests the need for a different type of treatment, and that's one of the reasons for this pause. the usual treatment we would give in this situation may actually make it worse, and new treatments may be very effective at reducing the risk of complications from this apparent side effect, rare side effect of that vaccine. you know, there's two other things that are worth really understanding. first, with more than 100 million people having are received the mrna vaccine, we don't have any reports of this
1:47 pm
kind of adverse effect with the mrna vaccine. that doesn't mean it won't happen, but it certainly is not likely to be as common and may not be at all. in addition, if you get covid, this kind of severe clotting does occur. that's one of the ways that covid kills people. it changes the way your blood clots. so it's almost certain that anywhere covid is spreading for anyone at any kind of risk from serious illness from covid, and that certainly means anyone over 40 or 50, the benefits of this vaccine are going to be far greater than the risk. eric: and when you say the mrna vaccines, you mean, obviously, moderna and pfizer? >> absolutely. we haven't seen any such reports from moderna and pfizer vaccines. that doesn't mean there won't be any. after all, some people get this even without getting vaccines. so you always want to see is there actually an increased rate. bottom line here, the vaccines being used are remarkably effective, remarkably safe, and they are our way out of this
1:48 pm
pandemic. so get vaccinated the moment you can, the moment it's your turn, because that's our route to getting our economy back and saving so many more lives. eric: and it's happening now. the cdc announcing that just over 50%, 50.4% of adult americans have now received the advantage seen. about 40% of -- advantage -- vaccine. about 40% of all americans now have it. we seem to be on our way. finally, doctor, your thoughts and advice to those -- i've had some people say they're afraid of getting it, you know, they want to wait as you just said. what is your advice? >> immunity really is just around the corner, and with it we should have a more normal summer and a new normal in fall as long as we continue to vaccinate at pace, especially those people at highest risk. is so vaccinate, that's our route to restart our jobs and save lives.
