2:13 am
i.c.e. director, tom homan. good to see you this morning. >> good morning. jillian: okay. so jen psaki holds a briefing pretty much every day. i'm curious, i'm sure she is going to get questions on the phrasing of that statement from president biden. how do you think she responds to that? >> well, if she responds the way she has been, she'll thigh the american people and not -- she'll lie to the american people and not use the word crisis. the president finally says there's a crisis at the border. when he was vice president and jay johnson was secretary, 1,000 a day was called a crisis. the other day they arrested 7,000. seven times more than they did back in fy14-15 when they said it's a crisis. of course this is a crisis and it's biden's design. this isn't by action or mismanagement. this is the open borders agenda, joe biden sold out this country and border security to win the election, he wanted to win over the progressive left, have an
2:14 am
open border agenda. he made promises that he knew would cause a surge. he signed the executive orders within two weeks of office, keeping those promises. this is what open borders agenda looks like. he agreed to it, he wanted to win the presidency so he sold it out. jillian: i want to get your opinion on this. there's a new poll out saying u.s. adults, their view of very big problems in the country today, you can see illegal immigration, april 2021, 48% of respondents agreeing it's a very big problem, compared to the 47% of adults believing the covid-19 outbreak is a very big problem. as you can see, those two issues neck in neck with americans that have been a part of this poll anyway. what do those numbers say of to you? >> i think americans are finally paying attention to what a crisis on the border is, the results there. thousands of people are being released to the united states every day. hundreds of them we know for a fact have been released with covid, positive covid into our communities.
2:15 am
when the families come across if you're released with the border patrol notice to appear, they qualify for work authorization. they'll be competing for some of the same jobs middle class americans are competing for. i think people are beginning to understand what happens to these hundreds of thousands of people that get released in the united states. 90% based on data from tim gracious court, -- the immigration court, 90% will lose their case in court if they show up. less than 3% leave. they're going to be here to stay. i.c.e. has been decapitated, immigration and customs enforcement can no longer arrest noncriminal fugitives, all by design. this is about bringing more people in the country that will be counted on the census that will lead to more seats in the house for the democrats, which leads to electoral college which leads to perpetual power. the reward for the hundreds of thousands of families getting the order to remove and not leaving, joe biden's immigration plan gives them am net at this.
2:16 am
i think people -- amnesty. i think american people are waking up and saying it's a travesty. jillian: let's listen to what jake sullivan has to say on raising the refugee cap. >> he is absolutely committed to making sure that not only is america welcoming to refugees, not only do we get people on planes immediately by changing those allocations which were rooted in xenophobia and racism, but also that we raise the cap. he is committed to that and he will follow through on that. jillian: your rea action to that? >> look, the united states is the most giving country in the world when it comes to refugees. we welcome more refugees in the country than every other country in the world combined. you've got to secure the border. if you bring in hundreds of thousands of refugees and at the same time you're bringing over illegal aliens, the system gets over-burdened. look, i agree that people in the world need our protection and i support that program.
2:17 am
but these hundreds of thousands of families coming across right now that clearly do not qualify under the rules of asylum, they're clogging the system up so people in the world that really need our protection are sitting in the back of the line. jillian: all right. tom homan, as always, thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. todd. >> thanks for having plea. .todd: still ahead, two people killed when a tesla crash intuse a tree and bursts into flames. officials say no one was driving the car. we'll tell you what happened. as states begin to ease mask mandates, oregon thinking about keeping it indefinitely. that story, next. ♪

jillian: good morning, we are back with a fox news alert. right now, a manhunt is underway in texas for a deadly shooting suspect. police say steven broadrick shot and killed three people in austin. the shooting happened at an apartment complex. the suspect allegedly knows the victims. officials would not confirm how. he is a former detective at the
2:29 am
travis county sheriff's office. police are urging the public to remain vigilant, saying broadrick is considered armed and dangerous and could take hostages while in hiding. todd: 20 minutes after the hour now. someone had to do it. that's the latest message from a new york dad making waves after taking his daughter out of the elite brearley school, the letter slamming the race based indoctrination that motivated his decision going viral. the private school faces (pal furry -- parental fury. joining me now, bethany mandel. let's read the letter. it says, quote, i cannot tolerate a school that not only judges my daughter by the color of her skin, but encourages and instructs her to prejudge others by theirs. by viewing every element of
2:30 am
education, every aspect of history, and every facet of society through the lens of skin color and race, we are desecrating the legacy of dr. martin luther king, junior and utterly violating the movement for which such civil rights leaders believed, fought and died. bethany, how vital is it that someone in this elite education world stepped up and said this. >> it's so important. it's so important that the parents are finally putting their names on it. there is a school out in los angeles that's similar, it's an elite 50 something thousand dollar a year school, a lot of parents aren't putting their names on it. i think this is an important next step in the battle for these elite institutions because parents are putting their names on it but they're also putting their money where their mouth is and starting to pull the kids out and hopefully the school feels the pinch. todd: this school is not backing down. here's the response, quote, the students noted that as the letter which denies the presence
2:31 am
of systemic racism crosses the doorways, the evidence of ongoing racism is daily present in our headlines. bethany isn't that the standard liberal response when they can't counter your argument, the accuse you whether veiled or unveiled of racism. >> what's interesting about the response was that they claim that people felt scared and felt injured and kudos to the father who wrote the original letter. he said absolutely not, that is absolutely ridiculous. this idea that what people say things that you don't like that is injureous and harmful physically is a laughable one and he treated it as such. todd: parents in the dalton school, an anonymous school said every class has an obsessive focus on race and identity, he decentering whiteness in our class, learning about white supremacy and sexuality in health class, wildly
2:32 am
inappropriate. many classes feel more akin to a zoom corporate sensitivity training than to dalton's intellectually engaging curriculum. you say this seems to be a lot of rich folks going back and forth, but you say we need to pay attention to this. why? >> unfortunately -- i don't think this should be the case, but this is the world we live in. these elite institutions form the basis for our society and the upper tiers going forward. these are the people who are enrolled at ivy league schools, people who run fortune 500 companies, people who run hollywood. ted case of these -- the education of these individuals matters an outsize amount for our he society. when they're indoctrinated to this woke ideology, they bring it through our society and push it down on us in a generation and if we can stop it now, we have hope for honestly saving american civilization, not to be too serious. todd: money talks.
2:33 am
if enough rich people step up and say we've got to stop this stuff, maybe the schools will resume focusing on education, and stop focusing on woke. we appreciate your time. >> thank you. jillian: overnight, three people killed in a shooting at a popular college bar in kenosha, wisconsin are identified. the heart broken friends and family mourning their loss. >> they loved everybody. they loved everyone, even if they didn't know you. they didn't hate anybody. it sucks because our city's falling apart. jillian: a person of interest has been taken into custody. police did not identify him but say he is set to be charged with one count of first degree intentional homicide with additional charges pending. search crews discover a fifth body after a boat cap sizes in the gulf of mexico. family members say the sailor's remains were found last night. the coast guard has not confirmed. if true, it would mean eight

2:35 am
forecast from the rockies through the central plains, through the midwest. this is going to be a big story heading through the next couple days because the northeast is going to get yet another round of he snow later on this week. so winter storm warnings and watches are in effect as we watch this next area of low pressure. cold air is in place, several states under winter weather advisory as well as wind chill warnings. there's the forecast radar. we're going to see the potential for heavy snow over the ohio river valley as we get into tuesday and wednesday, so there's your forecast. and more reminiscent of maybe february and march than april. freeze advisories in effect for close to a dozen states here and then as we get into thursday and friday, some of that snow working its way in towards the interior northeast, so a repeat of what we saw last week. so i don't know, todd. you coming back? is this like snow because you're back? todd: look, i posted yesterday on the socials that i took my

2:47 am
country? >> i would assume so. it's disgraceful. it's offensive. our goal, mission is to help and save lives. we have no agenda. we treat everybody equally. there's no discriminatory of who we take care of. it's all one mission. and that's to help each other. and then for us to be exposed to violence against us, each and every day, it's just mind boggling what's happening in our city. jillian: i'm curious what type of violence you guys have been exposed to because i know there's a report saying that there have been 52 new york city paramedics attacked in 2021 and i'm curious what type of attacks they're up against and how do you -- and have you seen something like this in the past? >> yes, so it's been escalating every year on a daily basis, we basically get a report of somebody getting assaulted.
2:48 am
last month we had two major assaults against emts and paramedics, one paramedic she was bitten in the face by her patient and the other gentleman, joshua schwartz was kicked in the face with a broken nose. they all had to get stitches, treatment, be placed on cocktails which is an antibiotics for a long period of time. it's every day. they're just lawless in our city. jillian: this is so disturbing because our first responders are out there on the front lines. like when we call 911 or need help, police and paramedics, depending on the situation, are the first ones there on the scene. it's just so disturbing to hear these stories that you're telling us, to see this video play out. you know, i'm curious if you think that at some point or perhaps you're already seeing it, would there be fewer people who want to do this job as a result of situations like this,
2:49 am
because we're seeing recruitment down at police stations across the country. >> yeah, our members are resigning at a higher rate than ever before. we can't keep people employed in the ems division. we had a major incident also a few weeks back where four of our members were held at gunpoint while responding to a call. that's while on duty. it's escalating and spiraling out of control and we are seeing people leaving in droves. jillian: in the last few seconds we have remaining, what do you want people to know about first responders and about the job they're doing? >> we're not there to hurt anybody. we're there to help you. we're there to bring back life, you know. our main mission, again, is to save life and we do that every day, we save people every day. so just appreciate that we're

todd: unbelievable video showing unaccompanied migrant child getting appan donned after crossing the super border. individual joe showing the dangers migrants are facing every single day as this border crisis surges out of control. thank you so much for being here. joe biden ran on bringing humanity to the border. is that little boy scared out of his mind the humanity that joe
2:55 am
biden was talking about? >> todd, as a parent, former attorney general, former gang prosecutor, it is absolutely heart breaking to see that video. >> this is the united states of america. not some third world country. you don't have to be a psychic to have predicted this. this border crisis as i said from the begin something a national security issue and a humanitarian crisis. it's why i have sent the letter to our governor asking him to declare a state of emergency, asking him to deploy the national guard. we need to be doing everything we can as a country to secure the border, not only for national security reasons but for humanitarian reasons. todd: you know, the president has executive orders in his toolbox. do you have anything left in the state ag toolbox to help solve this problem or are you basically all out of tools? >> todd, we are going to continue to do everything we can i can as an a.g. and my colleagues as you may know i have already been involved in three lawsuits against the biden administration. so we are going to continue to do everything we can, we have asked the courts order the wall
2:56 am
be constructed ask remain in mexico policy. we have asked that they reinstate the deportation policy and ask to intervene so the court will take a look at the public charge rule. what the biden administration has con is decriminalize, incentivize and now they are monetizing people crossing into this country illegally. todd: you mentioned at the top as a dad, you look at the two hours of our newscast just here little girl shot in chicago. kids abandoned here. these are children. we need to keep reminding ourself these are kids. you wrote an op-ed about a law in california that quite frank frankly i find frightening. requires charities to provide names and addresses of its donors. how is this anything other than an effort to silence speech. >> these exactly what it is. the united states has a long history of anonymous speech and the right to associate with who you want. it's the bill of rights. not the bill of options or the bill of convenience. these are enshrined in our
2:57 am
constitution, these protections on speech and association to protect sometimes unpopular speech. we know the left has gotten these donors lists and used it oit intimidate people and to dox them to troll them and basically discourage speech. and, you know, 1964 the united states supreme court recognized and naacp vs. alabama racists trying to get the list of the naacp which when people have these types of lists they will use it to intimidate people, to scare people, and to ultimately force them to not exercise their rights of association of speech. that's just not america. todd: let's be clear, california is entirely democratic state. the legislature that put this in place is democratic. they are not doing this to be equal across the board. they are doing this to silence anybody who may not be completely far left. correct? >> that's what we would argue. it was a 22-state coalition i led. at the end of the day what the left is trying to do is they are
quote
2:58 am
trying to defame and shame people that they disagree with. it's just not right. it's not american. i always remind people someone may have unpopular view today but you may be on the other side of that. that's what the constitution is designed to protect free expression, free debate. going back to the original founding of this country. the federalist papers are written anonymous by james and from madison, when they crafted the constitution they understood how important speech was especially anonymous designed to protect all of us. todd: you say this law is necessary to prevent fraud. having been a lawyer in california you know that state has more laws to regulate every single thing in the world that you know that is another law or two or 20 on the books to prevent the quote, unquote, fraud of which they are trying to prevent. is there any chance the supreme court allows this overreach to go through or are they going to shut it down? >> i hope not. because, it's such an porpoise case for our free speech rights
2:59 am
and just what you alluded to that as the fed points this out there have been no instances of any sort of fraud, more than 40 states don't require this. this is 'a.g. can get through other legal means including grand jury and subpoena process. it's a bogus argument. what has happened in the past in california these schedules and names and thousands of pages of documents have been released. they are subject to hackers. we know when the documents are released people lose their jobs and lose their livelihoods. we see people getting intimidated this. is really about protecting all of us in civil discourse. when the left talks about wanting civil discourse in an exchange of ideas these types of laws are designed to undermine them and that's why we have to protect the constitution. todd: arizona attorney mark been bern verymuch, will i have are n fox news what i thought

paternity was going to be like the spring of todd turns out it wasn't the case. you talk about the spring of todd. it wasn't the case. it's a neat little op-ed hope you get a chance to take a look. jillian: glad you are back. bittersweet for you. todd: great to be back with my buddies. jillian: "fox & friends" starts now. ♪ [chanting] >> anti-police demonstrations turn destructive this as the national guard is on stand by in minnesota. >> maxine waters injected herself into the if protest. >> we have got to get more confrontational and know we are resisting. >> when you do that you are increasing the risk of more harm happening. >> why does a vaccinated person have to wear a mask. >> you might get infected and get absolutely no symptoms and then inadvertently go into a situation with vulnerable people. >> emotional plea from a parent to reopen schools in los angeles seemingly ignored by the board of education. >> i'm here to tell you that i have been
