unquote, police account ability, is that right, david? reporter: three officials at the justice department are walking an incredibly fine line because they want to honor police departments across the country according to officials, but at the same time those not following procedure or following the law, the justice department pledges to take some sort of action here. as you mention declines in sign-ups across the country. read something from a spokesperson, mike nelian from the philadelphia fraternal order of police, representing thousands of police officers in philadelphia. he says it is the perfect storm. we're anticipating the department will be understaffed by several hundred members because hundred of guys are either retiring or taking other jobs and leaving the department. meanwhile congresswoman ilhan omar from minnesota says this coming week she will announce a measure to create a federal board that would investigate police misconduct, taking investigations from the local level. it would be similar to the

national transportation safety board, ntsb which investigates accidents. she told a local station in minneapolis, this will be a proactive board that does the work of our country. making sure the agents of the law are taking their oath seriously and the work they're doing helps communities feel safe. right now the department of justice, reporting on the past few days, investigating the minneapolis police department after thekying of george floyd. i'm told the investigation could take more than a month, even more than a year. back to you three. pete: david spunt, thank you very much. that was what i wanted for christmas, a proactive board overrun by ilhan omar. rachel: there are a still investigations she is still under. pete: true. will: the sort of double-edged sword it is when you come to federal funding, that they are giving local police departments money. they can take it away. we're looking this morning. not that much the feds give to

local and state police departments. we'll see how much influence should this get passed, should ilhan omar get what she wants, how much influence could they wield? rachel: i believe what i read, whatever the conclusions are, their investigations can be used in a court of law prosecuting. pete: interesting. over the show will was driving us hear. reading him the run downof the show like a sweet lala by all the way in. our next element, keith farrell, columbus, ohio, police president and the rise violence. >> we're hearing rhetoric, demilitarizing the police, taking away tools to make sure community safe. trying to stop us from hiring more police officers, and delaying police officer class. the trickle-down effect we're seeing in columbus, ohio, they set in their watch, 2020, highest homicide numbers in the history of columbus. in 2021 we're on pace to blow that out of the water.

pete: yep, bad trajectory across the board. rachel: what do you expect to happen? that is what will happen. a lot of law enforcement a grandfather and a son, grandson all become cops. a lot of cops are just not retiring, not encouraging their sons to go into the profession where they might have a legacy. who would under these conditions? what will happen in the end, you get what you have in latin america, unless you're rich, you can afford private security, that is how, when you defund the police, look at latin america, those are police forces that are not properly funded. some towns in mexico the cartels run them. how would you like your too be run by subcontract antifa to keep security in your town? that is the path we're on. will: to that point "the washington examiner" has an op-ed. cancel cult turf comes to the cops. here is quote from the op-ed, liberals signal virtue, want

woke points strip as much context out of the tragedies. the difficult of the facts into the narrative make these distortions. hating cops, willing to lie about them, is a virtue. white house, lebron james will be to signal that virtue. that is on the heels what happened in the columbus, ohio, on the mahkia bryant shooting. will: word with cancel culture is accountability. saw lebron james use it in his tweet. once you hear it once, you start to hear it time and time again, if you pay attention. the left doesn't want to admit it is cancel culture, it is accountability. time for accountability for you, for you, for you, that means go away, be quiet, sit down, don't say positive things about the police. as we were driving here, accountability is in coaching,

parentings. rachel: reimagining the police. these phrases end up becoming part of the language. pete: there was another program on last night, first of all headline from the "new york post" that caught our eye as well, here is the headline. said anti-race i am themed messaging hurts democratic pols, politicians, yale study finds. maybe they're finding, being woke and talking about anti-race i am which really sounds like race i talk doesn't help you at the ballot box because it doesn't meet most people where they're at in their lives. they have worked hard to move past race, treat people fairly. suddenly they're being told to reexamine it. maybe it does hurt them in the polls. will: bill maher, you started talking about another program, bill maher is increasingly unpredictable talking about the political climate. talking about the ideas, are they truly popular, or is the left running away essentially from where mainstream america's

thought is. here he was on hbo. >> you know the reason why advertisers in this country love the 18-34 demographic? because it is the most gullible. yeah. a third of people under 35 say they're in favor of abolishing the police. 36% of millenials think it might be a good idea to try communism. but much of the world did try it. i know millenials think that doesn't count because they weren't alive when it happened. but it did happen. so when you say, you're old, you don't get it, get what? abolish the police, border patrol and capitalism and cancel lincoln. i get it. the problem i don't get what you're saying or i'm old. the problem your ideas are stupid. rachel: your ideas are stupid. he is so right. you know, you mentioned, i was listening to what you were saying, i agree with you, pete, there is certain generation. i think bill maher hit on it, young people who have been

completely indoctrinated by these ideas. you can't blame them for not thinking communism, socialism, are not bad because their textbookses are literally scrubbed of millions of people who died from that evil ideology. they don't know, their history book is howard zinn anti-american history. pete: american history written from the soviet perspective. how evil we are. a old poll could be capture older generations are scared bit idea of woke cancel culture. young people iced to it, they have been marinated in it. that is mortifying. we'll turn to additional headlines before we talk more about talladega and this awesome race. including this. a man is charged in the shooting after 7-year-old girl at at chicago drive-through. marion lewis is facing 16 charges in connect, connection with jasmine adams death. he crashed his car on a highway,

event in full capacity since the state lifted limits in september. the former middle weight champion is expected to go under surgery. i think we spared the video on purpose. rachel: is it that bad. will: i didn't see it. i can imagine. you're delivering are the kick, seen it happen to a fighter before. the shin wraps around the other guy's leg. chris weidman. wish you the best. billboard takes aim at major league baseball for pulling out of georgia. our next guest is pressuring the league to reverse its decision.

all strikes, and no balls. we put up the billboard in times square. think about it. strikes one, gave into the woke crowd and misinformation about lies about the georgia voting law. two, he made the decision to move the game out of georgia, based on false information. third he cost the state $100 million mainly hurting minority businesses. we're here to demand he bring the game back to the state of georgia because three strikes you're out. pete: true, good point. you talk about the dem of course grays, atlanta, denver, we have a demographic who it would be affecting moving the game. in the city of atlanta, you have a 51% black population. the city of denver not even over 10%. when you move the business out with millions of dollars of economic impact you're taking away benefit of black americans in atlanta and shifting it to white businesses in denver.

>> atlanta, you mentioned 51%, there are nine times black-owned businesses in atlanta than in denver. as much as they are following all of this misinformation and perpetuating all of these lies they're actually hurting the very people they claim to be helping. overall small businesses in atlanta will be hurt. we spoke with minority-owned small business owner who has a limo business. he was very excited about this game coming to atlanta, getting his employees back to work and now he is not only worried about losing this, this event but future events that may not stay in atlanta, may decide to go elsewhere based on misinformation. pete: i'm glad, such knee-jerk nonsense from major league baseball. we talked about the small businesses impacted not to mention the voter integrity laws are more stringent in denver than atlanta. you can't make up the entirety of this story. i wonder if he ever admits his mistake.

giving him every opportunity to do so. real quick, elaine, this week will mark joe biden's first 100 days in office. it has been a tough 100 days for small businesses, from covid lockdowns to regulations. they're talking about increasing taxes. what, keystone xl pipeline, certain sectors being targeted. what is the your evaluation of small business in america in the first 100 days of joe biden? >> the first 100 days of the biden administration has been a declaration of war on small businesses. the policies out of this administration are rapid fire against small businesses. they're costing jobs, raising energy prices, making it harder to find workers and operate their businesses but by far, as you mentioned, pete, the biggest threat to small businesses is the increase in taxes and even the support of the "pro act," which frankly has so many negatives we're actually calling is the con act. million of small businesses out there structured as corporations and they will face a 33% tax

increase coming out of the worst pandemic we've ever seen. millions of small businesses shut down across the country. as they're coming out, we're starting to reopen, many states, you know, are open 100%, they're going to face these huge tax increases and they just, it is not fair. these, this is bad policy, hurts small businesses, hurts workers, hurts our economy. pete: well-said, elaine parker chief communications officer for the job creates network. thank you for your time. i can see why you're the chief communications officer. you're very well-said. appreciate your time. >> thanks, pete. reporter: got it. coming up mahkia buy ant's godmother will sue because of the death of her daughter. instead of going after police, we need to look at the foster care system.

apparently interaction, confrontation she was having with another young woman was another girl in the care of that same foster home. tell us what you know about the details that occurred that day. >> thanks for having me, will. this is just a tragic situation all around but we have questions about how did we even get here and when i started hearing about the fact that the mother, biological mother, hazel was about to sue the foster care system, you know, i'm just saying that is going to open up a whole lot of other questions. as someone, my wife are in the process of pursuing adoption, we've been going through all the studies what are the best ways to go about adopting kids. hey, should try fostering kids, it is a very convoluted process but i have questions, like, how did both her children end up in the foster care system? because i have been doing more research, you find out, the mother hazel bryant had two

daughters both living with miss moore, i believe the foster mother. there were questions about that. then i find myself, whoa, you have the wherewithal to hire an attorney and a public, pr representative, so you can go about suing but you couldn't take care of your kids? you start hearing stories about how the rest of the family, aunts, uncles, cousins complain about the situation, none of them were willing to take in the two girls. this led to a tragic situation. it was a failure on all parts, so much levels over a period of time, and i find myself sitting there, are we going to put all the blame on just the foster care system or how about looking at the other people who failed her like her immediate family? will: no doubt. first of all, chris, god bless you for you and your wife pursuing adoption. we all know literally the act of angels. quickly i have very little time, you have a lot of knowledge about this entire system. the foster care system has been

under a lot of stress past year. my co-host, rachel duffy, knows a lot about parenting told me about that. tell us about the foster care system. what it is dealing with during this time? >> i'm not an expert on the foster care system and stuff. we're going through the process, went to several seminars to find out. it is a very onerous process to go through. a lot of background checks you have to go through. my understanding is miss moore, who is the foster care mother, she had multiple other children come through her home. in fact it is my understanding that the two girls who showed up, the two girls showed up to celebrate who were previously fostered by miss moore and so they were there to help celebrate. those two girls got into an argument with miss bryant, mahkia bryant over the ted did iness of the home. that is what has been reported. this story appears to have spiraled out of control. who was at fault? i think no one knows and i don't

think it will come out until much further on until we get into court because there is a lot of questions that are going to have to be answered. the problem is, miss bryant lost her life as a result of things spiraling out of control. the cop is not to blame. son of a career law enforcement officer. the copies not to blame. will: to your point, many, many institutuions and systems failed this young lady before that moment that day. by the way the police were called to that foster home multiple times as we noted earlier throughout the past year. we should say we spooked out to the franklin county childrens services for a response. we have yet to hear back. chris, thanks for telling us about the system, sharing your knowledge this morning. >> thank you. will: coming up the return of racing to talladega is driving area businesses into full gear. alabama senator tommy tuberville joins us next as we continue "fox & friends weekend" live from the talladega superspeedway

a vaccination or maybe one dose. give people a reason to get vaccinated. live your life, have more privileges, basically do everything formal, if you give people a reason to do it, they are likely to do it. rachel: you make such freight points. busy moms and dads would like a walk-in, easier to do it that way. i agree the shaming has gotten out of control. no reason to shame people already had it, covid or who are not in a high-risk group. i'm concerned about president biden still wearing a mask even though he is vaccinated. leadership matters. how important is it for somebody like joe biden and many of our leaders in congress who are vaccinated and still masking and still sort of not doing things and living life normally, how important is it for them to showcase that to really model that for the rest of the country, in order for these people to feel less hesitant to get vaccines? >> look, rachel i think you're raising really good points and i

think if our public health officials would show signs of feeling liberated, if dr. fauci were out and about as he should be without a mask i think it would send a strong message t would help. we have two extremes on the masking issue and two extremes on precautions or restrictions. reality we need to settle around selective masking policy. come flu season, if you have symptoms in future years, maybe you should be wearing a mask during those symptoms. the idea of all or nothing right now i think is affecting hesitancy. it is really a problem. rachel: one last question, we don't have a lot of time. why do you think dr. fauci and joe biden, president biden are not acting like they should givent fact they're vaccinated and they're not high-risk anymore? >> look i think they're trying to sort of react to the other extreme which is the denialism over the virus. it is still second quarter lating in parts of the country. we have to get to the point we're taking precautions of

seasonal flu. we're almost there the case fatality rate is there we had 61,000 cases a day this week. during a mild flu season we might have 440,000 cases a day. the case fatality rate is roughly similar now that covid is in younger people. we have to put things in context. get ready to have a durable plan long term. rachel: you have had a lot of common sense throughout this pandemic. we really appreciate you coming in today, dr. marty makary, thanks for joining us today. >> thanks, rachel. rachel: all right. still ahead big tech moguls reportedly donating at least $7.5 million to groups tied to a black lives matter cofounder all while censoring her critics online. stay with us.

campos duffy. pete: we're trying to tape a segment later on. we'll start talking, you can't talk for 20 seconds. got 30 seconds of brilliance. it is loud, it rumbles. you feel it. the lights are coming on here. it will come to life real quick. we're glad you're here on "fox & friends." feels like the right place to be. rachel: it is the right mace to be. will: you know why it is right place to be. it is not just america getting back to normal. america getting back to fun. much of america is back to normal. not just on the coast. talladega represents this weekend, we got to experience yesterday, this is getting back to fun which is what this country needs. here is coming up on the show, joey logano, clint boyer, nancy

grace coming up here on "fox & friends." pete: there is a capacity limit. very few masks in the stands. people coming out to watch the race. rachel: it is outdoors. pete: huge venue. rachel: it is the perfect sport to come back first. it is outdoors. it is. it is all american. pete: absolutely. rachel: we have another story on the border it keeps getting worse and worse. one of the concerns is the cartels that are, we basically ceded control of our border to the most evil people in the hemisphere, the mexican cartels and so we have mayor douglas nichols. pete: before we get to that. this new video is jarring people this morning this is from the border patrol in california a 6-year-old boy and a 2-year-old boy being lowered down over the wall. it ended up being three adults, two kids, lowered about i a rope over 30-foot wall, presumably by

cartels and mules on that side. mother holding her 2-year-old child. rachel: imagine if anything went wrong. pete: holy cow,. rachel: that is happening multiple times a day. as you know, children coming across the border they don't get sent back there incentive to bring the child. pete: that's right. will: so many times of the story of illegal immigration is humanitarian story. certainly there is that element. this is illegal activity. when there is illegal activity taking place there is a criminal organization largely behind it. that is certainly the case when it comes to illegal immigration. rachel you've seen it. i saw it first-hand this is a cartel coordinated, cartel controlled illegal activity. yuma, arizona, mayor doug nichols is talking about the level of criminal activity at our border. >> the cartels are working. they understand the border. they're trying to control exactly the different crossings, whether it is people or whether it is drugs at, 7,000 to $15,000

a person, it is a business to these traffickers. so when it is a business that brings billions of dollars a year to them you will see them try to exploit every angle, every weakness, every policy that is in place along the border at this time. we really, really need congress to jump in and do the immigration changes that have been decades in coming. the federal government needs to take it head on. we can't just address the humanitarian issues which we need to do. we need to make sure those who do need protection can get it, but we also need to cut the flow off. pete: talking about cutting the flow off. by the way, the wall pictures, that is the wall working. interdiction mechanism. not 100% effective all the time but it slows down the flow. the flow is real. people are be walking in. he mentioned the reasons this is happening. kamala harris as we know famously put in charge of our

humanitarian connection to these countries where migrants are coming from. that is not the border. that on your screen, not kamala harris's job, talk to the triangle countries to figure out why people are coming. 30 days ago she was picked to figure it out. she will have a zoom call with head of mexico. they will talk about migration. one of the things they will talk about it, in all seriousness, mexican president talked about, how do you stem the flow of migrants. part of it is planting trees in guatemala and el salvador so farmers there have more of an incentive to stay than to leave. so tree planting is the big idea right now this administration is leading with as a root cause to prevent people from coming. is that going to work? rachel: it is really interesting. not only the plan doesn't even make sense, we'll have you plant, america you will pay for all the tree planting.

pete: we're paying for it. rachel: pay expanded program beyond mexico into central america. plant all the trees. they will stay there by the way if you plant trees we'll provide you with a special pathway to u.s. citizenship. doesn't make any sense. either the tree planting will keep you there or give you a pathway to citizenship to the united states. the whole thing is bizarre. i'm so glad the mayor of yuma is out here talking about you know, what is happening at the border because it is border communities like his are being so impacted by the cartels, by the loss of jobs because of the border wall and because of the resources in their communities that are absolutely being strained with illegal immigration. will: to another story for you this morning. this one i believe is at the core of the american debate. might be the most important story we're having today, because it defines who we are. the american experiment is bid on individual rights, individual freedom, defining you according to your character, your principles, your soul. increasing to look at members of

group and how that group may define you a group of parents are pushing back on this anti-racism training going on in our schools. this is the mom i'm talking about. start looking at us through the lens of our skin color through group affiliation. some parents are starting to do as this infiltrates our school system. give you a quote from harvey goldman to the manhattan school, neither i nor my child have white privilege, nor do we need to apologize for it. to suggest i do is insulting. to suggest to my 9-year-old child does, it is child abuse, not education. parents are starting to push back, i want to be blunt about this, racist training in our schools. rachel: absolutely. here is another parent from a country school. she writes, i don't fit into any of those buckets, any of those race buckets. i think it is wrong to be teaching kids socially constructive race categories. it is destructive ideology, teaching children to be

pessimistic and full of grievance, rather than being optimistic, full of gratitude. goes against all the values i was raised with. many out there feel as i do, this is a movement with a lot of people. pete: well-said this is public school parent, education advocate telling the "new york post" also, i've been called a karen. they tried to pressure me not speaking up. it can be very stressful, physically, emotionally, mentally. it feels like a mob is descending on you, calling you a racist fighting for the kind of education you want for your children. it is really nasty. i've seen it ruin lives. will to your point the first parent you read, said i don't have white privilege. i can recognize people are treated differently in different times. teach it, talk about. but that doesn't mean my kid the sins of 100 years ago are on my child who is going to your school. that is racist when you treat him differently like it was racist before. will: there is a movement winning in this country to cure past race i am by instituting

present and future race improgress on half a century, back to viewing each other as individuals, we're moving away from that. i'm telling you this is not the core of who we are as americans. rachel: i totally agree. you bring up the word americans. when you vilify being an american, when you say that our history, that we're systematically racist, that america's history is racist, who wants, you have a bunch of kids, who wants to be an american? we have to unite around something that we all have in common. that is being an american. when we completely vilify that word, then we have, then we have tendency to resort to these categories. obviously people who have an agenda pushing it. pete: for sure, for parents the fight is multifaceted. people have kids in different places in different types of schools. in your school that is woke how can you put the administrators on the defensive, that is your

role. how do you change the school your kids are in? this is good to see in the "new york post," parents speaking out f we recapture the territory it will have to go a lot further big time. the left has completely captured the whole pipeline how it ends up in curriculum, the textbook. you can't reverse that one complaint to a principle. we have to create our own ecosystem. rachel: i saw this very early on, will and pete, when we grew up with the idea of the melting pot. i started to see that they were talking about the salad bowl instead of the melting pot. that was huge shift from the way we were raised to just be -- pete: i like soup a lot better more than salad. rachel: that is true. will: chris, who was with the discovery institute, he is the director of it, is talking about the whole push, called critical race theory. probably getting pretty familiar with that term, critical race theory for schools. he was on "watters' world," here is what he had to say.

>> turning education into activism. at the philadelphia elementary school how to simulate black power rallies. celebrating angela davis. celebrating, black communism. 87% of those students don't know how to read, write, basic proficiency by the time they reach middle school. the total complete failure of the educational system to get them towards academic success, they're shifting blame, injecting politics into the classroom. shifting the blame to white supremacy. shifting the blame to systemic racism, absolve themselves of failure and channel rage, frustration of students into of the american system. will: you know, rachel you said something a moment ago i want to follow up on. what this is about at its core being an american. human beings are at the very core tribal listtic. we join groups. we want to be part of something. american experiment, part. of this country which sees us as

an idea, if you deny that group, deny that idea, people revert to really basic groups and tribes that is what they're pushing back toward. rachel: this is rooted in cultural marxism. when you do, you can understand how to fight this. that is marxism. pete: experiment with america, totally unlike anything tried on the planet. rachel: it is exceptional. pete: turning to a few additional headlines as well this morning, officers shooting and killing a man who was wearing body armor avraming his car into a police cruiser. the man stopped suddenly on sunset boulevard before reversing into the cruiser. he got out with one much his hands tied behind his back and began counting down. officers fired when he began to move his hand. unclear if he had a weapon or any other device. the case is under investigation. churches are allowed to hold sunday worship today at 100% capacity in new mexico. i want to cheer but it is so sad. rachel: so sad you have to say

that. pete: the governor fully restoring indoor worship in her state. quote, the changes made in light of recent supreme court decisions, she didn't want to say it, supreme court made her. earlier this month high court ruled against california stopping restrictions on indoor religious gatherings. we can't keep you out of church anymore. all gods people said, the catholic doesn't know it. amen. rachel: that is a little bit of a baptist response. pete: people across the country all named josh get together for a huge pool noodle fight. take a look. [shouting] i feel like these guys need something to do. the battle of the jobs, started on facebook as an internet joke but caught real attraction. the event drawing hundreds to nebraska. you get it now? see who is the best josh.

will: it is good. pete: i retract my criticism. will: tell me if there wasn't a battle you wouldn't be out there? pete: probably in a wookie suit. will: now i want to know who won. i want to get the top josh on the program. why is that not happening? i think we can do it. we tried. pete: we tried to get the top josh on the program. will: we'll not give up. still ahead the ripple effects of push to defund police as department the across the country struggle to recruit new officers. the consequences we may all face as a result. you're watching "fox & friends weekend" live from the talladega superspeedway on your screen. sunday morning. what a beautiful morning it is.

next, $25 million, that is how much spotify is paying prince harry and meghan to produce feel good podcasts. the streaming service signed the deal with the couple, leaving musicians fuming because they only receive a penny or less for each song streamed. $2 million a michigan man won on a scratch off when he lost everything he owned in a understood. when he realized he won he couldn't stop shaking, saying knowing my kids would be taken care of that is the best feeling in the world. i bet it is. pete? pete: thank you, rachel. now to a near tragedy on the running track. summit high school student maggie williams collapsing at the finish line at her high school track meet on the verge of setting a school record. she was wearing a mask running that 800. they say pain is temporary, pride is forever. thankfully maggie still broke the school's 800-meter record. the scare is prompting her coach

calling for an end to the rule to require athletes to wear masks outside during the competition. that track-and-field runner, maggie williams and her coach dave join me now. maggie, coach, thanks for being here. first of all, maggie, i will start with you, congratulations, i cannot imagine running the 800 in two minutes and 8 seconds, breaking the school record. that is fabulous. you're a junior. first of all, were you going for the record? and what role did the mask play in that? >> yeah. so it had been one of my goals to go for the record and you know, this is the first year obviously that i have had to run an 800 in a mask but you know, as a christian i really like to, i made it a goal to honor that. i've been okay with that, but this time it was just, i have never had the issue of passing out or fainting during a race. and so that was definitely a different issue that has brought up a lot of concerns about this

mask. pete: you don't have a history of those kinds of complications, anything like that, ultimately? what did you feel at the end that caused you to go to the track? could you even get oxygen? >> i mean i felt like it was very difficult to breathe. everything went blurry. then i couldn't really, i just fell. i think it was definitely oxygen deprivation that had a big play in that. pete: absolutely. coach, 800 is an impossible race. i couldn't run an 800 right now if i tried, let alone with cloth mask on your face not allowing you to breathe. it is insanity. >> it is really difficult to understand the concept having kids run with masks. at the schools we understand the mask is a critical strategy reducing covid, makes sense within the school buildings in relaxed atmospheres but when a kid is running at max velocity

they need it to get through the race, something like an 800 is near impossible to run at maggie's level on the track. we warned the osa, oregon school athletic association, that this might happen. knowing how maggie how tough she is, how driven she is, she will run beyond pain. this was beyond pain. she didn't have enough oxygen to make the last few meters. she went down, it was a scary scene. pete: have you seen anything like that, not only break the record as a junior but did it with a mask on? >> it is unbelievable, actually. as you think about it, you think about the respiratory rates of runners running her speed, her level, you and i talking here we breathe 15 breaths every minute. she is going 40 to 60 breaths every minute. not only can she not breathe effectively, can't get rid of

the carbon dioxide within that mask when she is breathing so fast. i never seen anybody that proved what she has done. proves a level of toughness she has to get through that. but at the same time should we put kids in that situation? we're lucky she didn't hurt herself horribly. we're very lucky. pete: we are lucky. whether it is a respiratory system or physically collapsing at the finish line. you mentioned the oregon school activities association. here is part what they said. we've been communicating with the governor's office and ohs for weeks seeking an adjustment to the mask mandate to allow students not wearing masks participating outdoors in contact sports. let's hope common sense prevails at some level and soon. i imagine, maggie, do you have meets coming up as well? >> yes we have several meets coming up. pete: i got to believe you don't want to try that again with a mask on in light of that what happened already. you have to keep reaching out

here. they have to. especially on track-and-field outdoors. wear it at the starting line. then after you win, maggie, but during the race is insane. it really is. maggie, coach, thank you so much. keep us posted. >> thanks. pete: appreciate it. what a wonderful young lady. back in business. will and i take a look at the big boon for area restaurants and stores as fans return to the superspeedway.

♪. rachel: welcome back to "fox & friends weekend" live. we're live at talladega superspeedway. we've been telling you about

u.s. schools facing backlash over critical race theory in their curriculum. a group of new york city parents are fighting back. one parent telling the "new york post," first and foremost, neither i nor my child have white privilege nor do we need to apologize for it, suggesting i do is insulting. suggesting to my nine-year-old child she does is child abuse, not education. he is the author of the upcoming book, woke inc. he joins me now to react. i had this summer several friends who are white tell me their children said, i'm embarrassed to be white and, embarrassed of their privilege. their parents happen to be professionals. i never heard that kind of talk before. they were really shocked by it. what is happening? >> well look, in the name of anti-race there is a new form of racism spreading like wildfire. antiwhite racism on its face.

tells white kids they're inherently privileged they need to confess for their sins. it is worse than that. of the anti-white race i'm triggering a new form of antiblack race i am which is spreading across the country. we end up in a vicious cycle, kids are not taught to look at each other not the content of their character but color of their skin. setting back 60 years of progress from the civil rights revolution. it is sick. it needs to end. rachel: i never heard more talk about race as hispanic woman now as i have in my late 40s. amen to that. here is another story that you hit really close to home for you. this is about big tech. they have been giving money to liberal causes to activists like blm. they gave 7.5 million to the blm cofounder and groups that she is affiliated with. but what i find most interesting about this, vik, they're censoring any critics of blm for

them. so talk to me a little bit about that because that's outrageous. >> i don't find it surprising at all. this is how the woke industrial complex works. it's a basically a back room bargain and here is how the bargain works. big tech agrees to do the bidding of woke activists, agrees to bankroll them and agree to censor content they don't like. i'm sorry to say it is working out masterfully for both sides. in this particular case you're talking about they were advocating, blm was, blm cofounder and her associated entities were advocating for so-called net neutrality rules that facebook and google and twitter have actually been long time fans of. it is a staggering irony to watch the big tech titans, who are the worst perpetrators of censorship on the internet, advocating net neutrality to apply to cable companies. their commitment to the notion of net neutrality is about as

genuine as commitment of black lives matter to black lives which is to say not at all this is a staggering irony. it's a back room bargain. it needs to be called out. rachel: they're scratching each other's backs for sure. great talking with you, vivek. we'll have you back soon. you have a lot to say on all of these things the hottest topics on our country. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. rachel: all right. coming up, oscar out of rage. the academy awards accused of quietly cleaning up los angeles streets and hiding the homeless to prepare for tonight's show. more on that as "fox & friends" continues live from talladega next. ♪. incomparable design makes it beautiful. state of the art technology, makes it brilliant. the visionary lexus nx. lease the 2021 nx 300 for $349 a month for 36 months.

a police chief says it's recognized as getting harder and harder. people don't want to be police anymore. it's a good job, a good paying job. when you look at national news every day, people don't want to be officers. california congresswoman maxine waters is calling out the judge in the derek chauvin trial after he criticized her comments in open court, arguing they could upend the trial. listen. >> he was way off track and he knows that. but to say that i'm going to cause an appeal really is not credible. >> reporter: and one of maxine waters' colleagues, congresswoman ilhan omar from minnesota take next week in the next few days will introduce a bill to he create an oversight board for any type of police misconduct, similar to the national transportation safety board. at doj as we've been reporting the justice department investigating the minneapolis police department after the whole derek chauvin situation and that could take more than a

year. it's quite possible. back to you. >> thank you so much, david. you know, this is -- to be a cop in the united states of america torques be in law enforcement in any capacity, and we go around the country, we do these diners, i know you've encountered this, we've seen a lot of law enforcement officers. the climate, the general sentiment is one of -- i don't want to say depression, certainly discouragement. rachel: low morale. >> you feel like nobody wants you, you're at a high risk. it's real low morale. rachel: with minority police officers, whether it's on the border where they say you're a traitor to your race if you defend the border, to black police officers being mistreated on the job and somehow being told that doing their job is somehow putting them in a traitor position with their own community, it's ridiculous.

i don't know why anyone would -- >> i saw it in washington, d.c. with the national guard, the vicious, racist things that the black lives protesters were yelling at the national guard, it was way worse than anything else. that's absolutely true. i think for law enforcement, they're resigned to the reality that being proactive doesn't pay. that's how you keep people safe normally is if you feel empowered because you have leadership that will back you up, you will interdict in situations where you can save lives. why would you do that you're inherently the bad guy. it becomes a culture of risk aversion. >> every interaction, i have to reduce my own risk. i asked about this calculation they officers have to make on a daily basis. >> officers, especially senior officers, say why risk it, why stay the extra day, why stay that extra year when our

politicians who should be working to drive down crime are trying to literally handcuff us. it's risk versus reward. nowadays the risk is too high. >> we put our lives on the line every day. now, as opposed to being proactive more, police officers will look at to be more reactive because if you're proactive, then you're second guessed on your decision and therefore you will wind up losing your job, your pension, and possibly incarceration. so why would you want to risk that? why would you want to join something where people hate you and go out there and put your lives on the line? rachel: yeah. and the communities that get affected by this are not the communities -- ilhan omar has a capital police detail on her right now because she has had threats against her. so she has security. other self appointed leaders of the organizations and groups, they are all rich. they can afford their own security. it's the people in the communities who suffer and we've

seen the crime and homicide rates are exploding right now. >> i pray we find a way to punch through this stupid moment, defund the police because the other side is chaos. >> it is. who wants to live in chaos. maggie williams was a high school track star in oregon, setting records in the 800. as she approached the finish line, she collapsed, oxygen deprivation. you interviewed maggie and her coach who is at this point blaming directly the mask and saying we need to do something about this. watch. >> i've never had the issue of passing out or fainting during a race and so that was definitely a different issue that has brought up a lot of concerns about this mask mandate. i felt it was difficult to breathe, everything went blurry and i couldn't really -- i just fell. i think it was definitely oxygendeprivation that had a biy

at that. >> when a kid is running at maximum velocity and they need oxygen to run the race, something like the 800 is impossible to run at maggie's level without hitting the track. we warned them a couple months ago that this might happen. she didn't have enough objection jen to make the last -- oxygen to make the last few meters and she went down. that was a scary scene. >> outdoor sports, track and a field, mask has to be worn at all times. they warned that this would happen. this girl by the way, she's a junior. she set the school record at two minutes and nine seconds on an 800. that's -- rachel: that's amazing. >> that's phenomenal. we couldn't run it at four. that's her at the finish line, passing out because she couldn't get oxygen to her lungs. rachel: it's so dumb. it's so dangerous. if something happened to that girl -- god forbid.

we talked yesterday about this story and she's a rock star, she's outside. i get it. but you talked about your own kid in a basketball court, masked up and the calculations -- >> so embarrassed. >> rachel: the calculations parents have to make where you know it's not healthy, safe or psychologically good for your kid to play the game with the mask but you want your kid to play. >> i watched the kid on the court, he lost the ball and the mask came down. he didn't worry about the ball, he worried about the mask. think about the psychological effect. you're sitting in the stands, embarrassed as a dad, saying how did i let my kid play but you want them to play. >> this is beyond lunacy. this is dangerous. we're toying with some he very dangerous policies here. rachel: for what reason? that's the point that -- it's just insane. i think parents really need to see this video and when parents decide it's enough, it will be enough. we all have to get together and

other items when they're repairing roads and bridges. again, this is a prime example of how liberals destroyed the african-american community and destroyed communities, period and that's why i say it's time for us to destroy the liberal community because they've done enough damage and joe biden continues to do so. when i think about joe biden, nancy pelosi and chuck schumer, i think about the wizard of oz. one has no heart, one has no courage and the other has no brain. they're not led by toto and dorothy. their led by the wicked witch of the south, stacy abrams. the nerve of those liberals. >> joe biden will be in georgia on his 100th day, i believe. when you think about the first 100 days of the joe biden administration, what defines it? >> one word. disaster. can't think of anything else. he has come on board.

he's pushing now wherees sorting and em -- he's supporting and embracing being anti-female sports. at the same time, he's creating a crisis on the borders. look at what's happening. they're spending $88 billion on a hotel bill when we have veterans living under bridges. there's nothing for usa. when he talked about the african-american community, there's nothing -- not a single thing he's done for the african-american community but create chaos. this is a disaster. i don't think he's in charge. i want to find out who is really behind the curtain, pulling his strings. he has checked out. you know it, i know it, the american people know it. >> it's the far left. who is it specifically? we're learning more every day. they certainly captured the agenda of the biden administration, no doubt. vernon jones, thank you very much. we always love having you. and good luck. >> thank you so much. >> still ahead, newly released photos revealed jeffrey epstein

rachel: welcome back to "fox & friends weekend" live from talladega. now to chicago where the city is seeing a shocking rise in crime and gun violence, more than 900 people, think about that, 900 people have been shot this year. a roughly 30% increase since 2020. one of the most tragic cases is a little girl who was killed at a mcdonalds drive-through. todd piro joins us live as police finally have a suspect in

custody. >> reporter: a chicago family one step closer to justice this morning, following the arrest of a suspect in the killing of that beautiful little girl, 7-year-old jaslin adams. 18-year-old marion lewis facing 16 charges including first degree murder in connection to her death at a mcdonald's drive-through last weekend. police arrested him after he crashed his car while trying to escape. he tried to carjack a family's vehicle at which point officers shot and arrested him. they are looking for other suspects in her killing. >> you can run but you can't hide. we are going to bring you to justice for this crime. the adams family deserves nothing less. >> reporter: jaslin shot six times including once in the head. her father was hit in the chest and seriously wounded but has since been released from the hospital of.

police have not yet revealed a motive. a small memorial has been set up at the mcdonald's he featuring pink balloons and toys. lewis is also charged with three counts of attempted murder, aggravated vehicular hijacking and aggravated assault of a police officer among other counts. he's scheduled to appear in court in the coming hours. will, back to you. will: thank you, rachel. thank you, todd. former president bill clinton seen smiling with jeffrey epstein and ghislaine maxwell in the white house in never before seen images. they were picture together during a 1993 reception. this comes to light as a new accuser steps forward against epstein and ghislaine maxwell pleads not guilty to new sex trafficking charges. here to react, host of crime stories, nancy grace. ghislaine maxwell is facing new

charges, new accusations and the ages range from 14 to 18, meaning what age the accusations reportedly occurred. what can you tell us about what's going on with ghislaine maxwell. >> ghislaine maxwell is set to go to trial this summer but with the advent of two new felony counts including a new accuser who says she was just 14 years old at the time that she was sex trafficked by ghislaine maxwell, so jeffrey epstein could molest her under the guise of her being a masseuse. who has a 14-year-old girl masseuse, number one? what jury is going to believe that? so these two charges have been tacked onto the other charges. it's called a superseding indictment. a lot of people have conspiracy theories as to why the state is adding these two charges now, a few months before trial. you know what? my response, why not? you've got this accuser, the

state can make out the case. she's being tried for facility t tating some weird -- facilitating some weird, sinister upon. ponzi scheme.according to the v, ghislaine also molested them. she didn't just recruit them off the playground. she took part in molesting them too. but the reality is, these little girls are finally getting their day in court. my question is, why not add them? all these nefarious theories of why the state tacked on the charges, guess what, they're probably true. so they're going to trial. will: we started to see ghislaine maxwell in some of these court appearances, she looks a lot different. it seems to be -- i know you talked about this, you looked into this or talked about this, it's a familiar trial strategy. you've seen it happen before, nancy. it's got a purpose. >> can i ask you a question? why are all the headlines about

ghislaine maxwell has gray hair? do i care if ghislaine maxwell is getting gray hair? she can't go to her $400 hair salon to get her hair done behind bars? i care about this new little girl, a 14-year-old girl, sex trafficked. yes, ghislaine maxwell looks thinner. according to court reporters and legal eagles that were in court, yes, she looks thinner but she's healthy. to hear the defense, she's gray and frail. so what. remember the menendez brothers who dressed like college freshman and the defense attorney would brush their shoulder. scott peterson came in looking like a golf pro. oj simpson tried to pretend he had rheumatoid arthritis.

it's all an act to make the jury feel sorry for her, so the 14-year-old girl, one more thing, that's not all, she pled guilty -- not guilty to these charges but do you know her bond hearing is going up to the court of appeals? that's one level below the u.s. supreme court for pete's sake because the judge keeps turning down her bond application. they're taking it all the way. i would not be surprised if this woman gets out on bond and disappears. will: the image crafting starts the minute you walk into the courtroom. you don't want to look like an elitist social ite who potentially lived up to the accusations. you can hear nancy grace talk about this on crime stories available on fox nation. good to see you this morning. new video shows another terrifying scene at the border. two young children are lowered over a 30-foot wall. you've got to see this video. former acting dhs secretary ken

rope. see it there on the screen. that's a 30-foot wall with children, i believe ages 6 and what was it, 2, lower do you understand right there. it's amazing footage. and this as kamala harris, the vice president plans to pay migrants to plant trees to stop them. let's bring in ken cuccinelli, former dhs acting deputy secretary. good morning, ken. thanks for being with us today. so you see there, the video of the kids being lowered down the border wall. what's your reaction? >> well, first, you know, we've seen the three and the 5-year-old earlier. this is more of the same. we're seeing the cartels and smugglers use the same tactics because this administration isn't changing anything. they aren't actually doing anything. and planting trees doesn't count, to stem the flow of illegal immigration. so we're going to keep seeing this. that's the story here. we're going to keep seeing this until this administration actually takes steps to

interdict the flows and return people back to their homes. >> i mean, ken, we want to laugh but this is a legitimate suggestion made by the president of mexico to kamala harris, they're going to be talking about taking a policy that's been used in mexico and moving it to the northern triangle countries, of planting trees so farmers don't want to my great to america. what do you do -- migrate to america. what do you do in the interim. trees don't spring up immediately. what do you do in the decade that they're growing. there's no seriousness in the application of the policy. >> it's a distraction. tree farming, i was virginia's ag. we do it here. it's a 40 year cycle. that's nice for 40 years from now. how about the next 39, you know. and maybe if we could deal with the next 39 days and interdicting the flow but this is silly talk. first, they wanted us to look elsewhere. they censored you all in the media and congress from seeing the facilities.

they still try not to use the word crisis, occasionally they slip into doing it to describing what it is. again, part of the effort to get people to look elsewhere and here now the talk about root causes and we can make tree jokes about root causes, but it is important to address root causes but that is a very long-termination nail strategy. -- long term national strategy. it's what the administration before us were doing. it takes a long time. the countries are much better off than they were in the '80s and '90s. they're much better countries. they're more stable, they don't on press their own people. you have to address the short and media term of the illegal invasion that we're suffering right now. the reason they're not doing it in my view is because they want it. they want this inflow. you and i see a crisis. they see a voter registration line. rachel: thank you for speaking that clearly. because that's 100% what's happening and there's no other

explanation for why we've handed over control of our national border. >> they know the root cause is their own policies and therefore they're not -- rachel: working out fine so let's just plant trees. >> ken cuccinelli, thank you so much. >> there's a reason it's called the biden effect. >> and you know how long it takes for trees -- thank you, sir. we appreciate it. sir. >> happy to talk tree farming any time. >> we had the right guy. he said 10 years -- >> it's 40 years. rachel: maybe kamala should call cuccinelli. >> turning to a few additional headlines. the tampa bay rays honor two fallen officers, players wore these shirts during batting practice to support fundraisers for the families of pinellas county sheriff's deputy michael magli and tampa officer jessie madson. deputy magli was killed by a drunk driver who was fleeing a

rachel: welcome back to "fox & friends weekend" live from talladega superspeedway and now to arizona where the chandler school district is facing backlash after the school board announced plans to throw a retirement party for their superintendent. the so-called celebration comes as prom stays canceled and graduation stays limited because of the pandemic. our next guest is a mom of with five kids in the district and she says she's tired of this double standard. jennifer albi joins me now.

welcome. >> thank you, rachel. rachel: of course. they're going to have a retirement party for the superintendent. the original invitation said 10 people can come to that. meanwhile, promise canceled and graduation is limited so a family like you, you have five children, not everybody can go to the graduation. >> that's definitely the case. we parents felt like the district took a page out of the marie antoinette playbook and said let the seniors eat case, two guests total which means most kids can't include the immediate family in the graduation ceremony, one of the big events in their life. no prom. but we're also okay with going ahead and having a reception with food, busses transporting guests in so everyone in close quarters on those busses, to celebrate our retiring superintendent which we think it's great. we would want to celebrate our

graduating -- or our retiring superintendent but we also as parents don't understand the double standard, why the district has certain things that are okay for the adults in the district and then the kids' interest in the district are getting entirely overlooked for the seniors. rachel: you know, jennifer, i have a son who didn't get prom and didn't get graduation last year because of the pandemic. it's hard to believe that a year later we're facing these kinds of restrictions still. but i just think as a mom and we share that in common, i just feel like the pandemic has just revealed something about our schools, which is that across the board from ache demicks -- academics to the important marker moments for kids, that kids have been put last in this, that the needs of teachers and administration have taken precedence over our children and they've been the real victims this year. what do you say to that? >> i 100% agree, rachel, and i know this is kind of your former background if i understand it

correctly here in arizona. rachel: yes, it is. >> so as parents, our primary job obviously is to look out for our kids' well-being and we want to be a team. we want to be a team with our school district. we want to be a team with the people who we trust, who watch out for our kids' best interest. and exactly what you said, as we have gone especially through the last year and looked at a lot of the decision making that's come down, none of it has been with reference to what is best for the kids, for their growth, for their development, for their emotional, physical well-being. it has very much been an entirely different conversation than anything you would expect from an industry that's in charge of educating and supporting our children into adulthood. rachel: i know what it's like to have to bring this to public attention and so, you know, you're a brave mom and you're fighting for your kids and you're fighting for a lot of

other people's kids. thanks to bringing this to our attention. hopefully there are more brave parents who will fight for our kids throughout the rest of the pandemic. >> thank you. we appreciate it. rachel: of course. thank you. we reached out to chandler district for a statement but we did not hear back. again, thanks, jennifer. still ahead, nascar announcing a new partnership with one of the biggest organizations in our country. the exclusive announcement. plus, what it means for kids across america, as "fox & friends weekend" continues live from talladega. ♪

of april. u.s. border security, how do people view, how do voters view our border security compared to 2018? look at those numbers. 46% of americans say our border security is worse than it was in june of 2018. anybody who is saying better, probably wants open borders. interesting to see, the american people certainly responsive to the reality of what is happening on the border right now. rachel: couple weeks ago a "qunnipiac poll" came out. which group is most dissatisfied what is happening at the border? hispanics. that makes sense. they're the largest population living along our u.s. border, hispanic-americans. if you think about it, it was sheriffs, the mayors of these border towns and border communities who were first raising the flag saying, we have a problem on our hands on, they have been trying to get joe biden to get down to the border along with his supposed border czar kamala harris. will: what i got to see this

past week the reason the people living along the border who are on the front line saying this is a crisis, this is a problem because it's a quality of life issue for them. directly impacting literally their backyards. that would lead to an insurge in polling numbers, 30 points, increase of 30 points people who believe we're worse off today. right there on the screen is some new video footage as well of a 6-year-old and a 2-year-old being lowered over the border wall in california. those are 30-foot walls. pete: look at that, holding on to the back of a non-related adult male. who knows who is doing the transferring. probably the cartels. rachel: that is exactly right. joe biden was elected the cartels basically changed their business model to go from drugs and weapons and a little bit of smuggling to now a lot more smuggling and children, sadly are the ticket in. they are like the new dope, they literally have been saying.

pete: we are living in visual area. videos released by the cpb what is happening in the reality on the border. what is the central problem kids. kids are the ticket. defacto policy separating kids from the parents. they are the golden ticket if you want to stay in this country. mayors, local officials have been bearing the brunt of this. the yuma mayor, douglas nichols talked about, you mentioned the cartels, what they're doing with this. take a listen. >> the cartels are working and they understand the border and they're trying to control exactly the different crossings, whether it is people, whether it is drugs. at 7,000 to $15,000 a person, it's a business to these traffickers. so when it's a business that brings billions of dollars a year to them, you're going to see them try to exploit every angle that, every weakness, every policy, that is in place along the border at this time. we really, really need congress to jump in and do the

immigration changes that have been decades in coming. the federal government needs to take it head on. we can't just address the humanitarian issues. which we need to do. we need to make sure those who do need protection can get it, but we also need to try to cut the flow off. will: rachel, pete, i like to do my best to understand what the other side, anyone who might disagree with us says on these issues on this and largely what you're having is complete ignoring of the issue, not talking about it. the other response this, is partisan, this happened under the previous administration. you're focusing on it with a democratic president. that defies what is happening on the ground, listening to those with first-hand knowledge. we see the numbers spike. we know the numbers are spiking. i know the sheriff, we see numbers spike tenfold. this is happening. the american people by the way recognize this. you're seeing polls what we saw,

people recognize it is getting worse. rachel: the sheriffs have been telling me, i was in arizona, spoke to border patrol, sheriffs, they said they have never seen anything like this in 40 year careers. this is absolute, not just a spike, it is, it is, they said it is not even a crisis. it is chaos. we interviewed ken cuccinelli, former acting dhs acting secretary and this is what he says about the biden administration why they're doing nothing to stop this crisis. >> we're seeing the cartels and the smugglers use the same tactics because this administration isn't changing anything. they aren't actually doing anything, planting trees doesn't count to stem the flow of illegal immigration. so we're going to keep seeing this, that is the story here. we're going to keep seeing this until this administration actually takes step to interdict the flows and to return people back to their homes. the reason they're not doing it in my view is because they want

it. they want this inflow. you and i see a crisis. they see voter registration line. pete: straight up about it. also mentioned planting of trees. kamala harris, 33 days of border czar, whatever she is doing not visiting the border, she is having a zoom call with the president of mexico. one of the proposals, if we plant trees in countries where migrants are coming from. ken cuccinelli who was agriculture secretary in the state of virginia, takes 40 trees for trees to bare fruit. this is inhumane. rachel: this is environmentalism, the trees? by the way we're solving the border crisis. pete: perfect non-solution. will: something dead serious, we talked about it earlier in the program, the fundamental ideal to be an american, judged as an

individual, get away from tribal differences put aside racism we have a movement afoot in the countries being taught in the schools that is the antithesis. focusing on anti-race imwhat we know is a reversion to racism. looking through our prism, skin color. there is pushback. parents in some of the schools, for example, in new york city pushing back underground. give you an an example. harvey goldman. he wrote first and foremost neither i nor my child have white privilege neither do we need to apologize for it. to do is insulting. suggesting to my nine-year-old child she does is child abuse. that is definitely not education. rachel: oh, my gosh, that is child abuse. this is another from a parent telling the "new york post," i don't fit into any of those race buckets. i think it is wrong to teach socially constructive race categories. it is destructive ideology,

teaching children to be pessimistic, full of grievance rather than optimistic full of gratitude. it goes against all the values i was raised with. many out there feel as i do, this movement has a lot of people. pete: not just elite private schools but public school parents and education advocate talk tock "the new york post." i've been called a karen. they tried to pressure me not speaking up. it can be very stressful, physically, emotionally, mentally. feels like a mob is descending on you calling you a racist for fighting for the kind of education you want for all children. it is really nasty and i've seen it ruin lives. this curriculum is divisive. it is racist as you pointed out, will. it makes kids feel bad for immutable characteristic they can't change. parents have to do even more than talk to the "new york post." they have to be fighting back. good to see a start here. rachel: it is good to see the start. it is also causing kids to hate

each other, be suspicious of each other. why do we want that in school? it is just so outrageous. i spoke earlier to the what he said, vivek ramswamc. >> there is a new form of racism spreading like wildfire. it is anti-white racism on its face. tells white kids they have inherent privilege and need to confess their sin. that antiwhite racism is triggering a new form of anti-black racism which is spreading across the country like wildfire. we have a vicious cycle where kids are taught not to see the content of their character but on the color of their kin skin setting back 60 years of progress for the civil rights revolution. it is sick and needs to end.

pete: carol swain talk as lot about that. rachel: she is a amazing. pete: grew up in poverty, cast canceled by academia for being conservative. she studied the white supremacy movements are horrible. what do you have happen to emphasize race, people back into their corners for every direction. rachel: we have so much interracial marriage. pete: we were so close. too close. will: not anti-white racism, there is racism against african-americans as well. you were born a victim, nothing you can do about it, one of the most disabling things. this is racism against everyone. rachel: there is power in it. the victim has the power. this new paradigm that we've created. will: turning now to a few additional headlines for you, starting with this, a former medical examiner is facing investigation after testifying in shoaf derek chauvin trial. he david fowler served as

maryland examiner in 2002 to 2019. he testified that george floyd died of cardiac arrest. another medical examiner concerned problem. ing maryland's attorney general review of people who died in police custody when fowler was the state's chief medical examiner. california may lose a congressional seat for the first time in history. it comes as the census is expected to report a decline in the state's population when its data comes out. california's population growth dropped .06%, the lowest since at least 1900. if that is the case the golden state would drop from 53 to 52. meanwhile, texas, florida, arizona could gain house seats because their population are growing. now this, jeff burton gets his first xfinity series win in talladega yesterday. >> there is no sunshine. we have lost the entire track.

perino. we had the poll up on the screen as i was introducing you. numbers below 50. stark numbers with the border. what happens on joe biden's approval so far into his presidency? >> the border stuff indeed. let me get to that in a moment. if you're the biden team, looking at these numbers, you got to say, look, i ran on covid. my first 100 days has all been about covid, to have a 58% approval on your main issue pretty good, right. so that is in the first 100 days. what about the second 100 days? where i see a lot of speed bumps. one certainly will be immigration. that actually threatens i believe to over take everything else. how in the last few weeks the white house has decided to try to redefine what it means to have bipartisanship. they suggest that, well, it doesn't mean members about congress. means people out there in the country. are people happy with the coronavirus f you're going to do that, will, you have to accept there is a strong overwhelming,

by bipartisan majority against what they're doing on the border n our poll shows people believe three times as worse at the border than under president trump. will: yeah, dana. one of the lessons of the trump presidency, illegal immigration is an extremely motivating issue for a bipartisan group of political constituency out there. as you said that is one in the second 100 days could play a role in his overall approval. >> absolutely. what happens in the next 100 days, will? that is when the weather is the nicest. you see the biggest surges typically. couple that with the fact they took away policies from the trump administration holding migrants at bay, to try to get them to do things legally. you have the fact that moms and dads know they will be reunited here with no consequences? it is, that continues to ratchet up. as you expect to see the country open up a little bit more as

43 portraits of wounded warriors. this is focusing on immigrants, stories behind people that have come to our country by choice and those who have done some really great things in terms of contributions and what i talked to him, what i realized obviously a former president can have influence on the debate, the issue. what i found with this one he is not getting into the middle of it except to talk strongly about the need of border security. figuring out a way to perhaps lower the temperature. talk about people in ways that can lift people up. i think what sets the fox news interview apart from all the others that you have seen i actually got to talk to four of the immigrants that he interviewed. you will not believe the great work that meghan alban, dan and john case did to find footage of the times before those people fled to america. it is spectacular. i love how it all came together. will: take a quick look. you mentioned, he focuses on
