2,000 plus miles is a long way to walk alone and all for a good cause. good for him. thanks, everybody. that's it for us. see you next week. up next, "special report." ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ just a young girl ♪ with a quick view ♪ i was uptight ♪ want to let loose ♪ i was dreaming of bigger things. will: beautiful shot of churchill downs in louisville, kentucky on this saturday morning where we are live for the 147th kentucky derby. we will be checking in with janice dean live from churchill downs all throughout the show this morning. good morning, welcome to "fox & friends." will cain, jedediah bila and pete hegseth. i'm operating on four hours of sleep, friends because of another sporting event the nfl draft is now only past day two. pete, don't make fun of me. i will tell you something, it's like i'm in slow motion right

now. jedediah said you are in the zone. no, i'm so tired that everything is operating in slow motion. but that means i just see the game coming to me, man. i have got this. i'm two steps ahead. [laughter] pete: yeah, when you are reacting to things in realtime, you are always two steps ahead. that's exactly right. did you like how the cowboys did in the draft by the way? will: no, i was tweeting about it all night long. very upset. you said expectations in life they fall short. jedediah: you know, i watched your twitter feed sometimes, will, i don't understand any of it, but it's fascinating nonetheless. at love names i don't recognize and a lot of moves i don't recognize but a lot of passion. we appreciate it here on "fox & friends." welcome, everyone. we will have janice dean who is our derby specialists. she has the best hats and info on the derby. she will be joining us all morning long. it's exciting.

pete: absolutely. there is news this morning let's get to it as well there was an interview yesterday, president biden sat down with nbc. was asked about this whole idea that mr. president, you are vaccinated, yet, you continue to wear a mask, sometimes a double mask, even outside, even though you said you wouldn't when you wore it to the event where you told us you didn't have to wear it anymore and you are searching for it clearly something you are still very focused on. and the president had this answer when asked about when should you wear a mask and should you wear one outside. listen to this. >> are we no longer going to see the president of the united states wows a mask on? >> sure, sure. but i mean what i'm going to do though because the likelihood of my being able to be outside and people not come up to me is not very high. it's like, look, you and i took our mavericks off when i came in because of look at the distance we are. if we were in fact sitting there talking to one another close i

would have a mask and you even though we have been vaccinated. it's a small precaution to take that has a profound impact. it's a patriotic responsibility for god's sake. will: it's not patriotic it's antiscience, anti-vaxer nonsense. it's malarkey in joe biden's language. that right there is dangerous is what that is we were together in alabama. i made this joke that the mask has turned into the left's maga hat. it's not a joke. it's truly what's happening right now. it's used as a signature fire. message to everyone walking down the street what team you are on. that's what they are doing. what they turned the mask into. could be neurosis. agoura phone who begins to think oh my gosh go outside they will get you. morphed what the real risk are. it's now more of a political statement. it's a sign, it's a message. that's what the mask has become. jedediah: yeah, i don't really understand where this ends. so is the message now that you are vaccinated and you are outdoors if someone approaches

you if the vaccine didn't change anything for anyone, then really what will? if they are waiting for this to completely disappear and for there to be zero risk at all, they will be waiting a really long time. i'm not really sure this is messaging that really helps anyone out there. i understand there is requesting to be an adjustment period. i see people all the time who are so used to wearing these masks, pete. they forget. they're adjusting to a new way of life. adjusting and getting into a comfort zone this. is someone in a position of power. if anything he should be empowering people with his own language and behavior to do otherwise. to follow the science. pete: that's great point. exactly right. how ironic is it mr. bet get your shot who wants to take credit for operation warp speed now a walking billboard for why you shouldn't because your life is not going to change at all. what a shame. i think back again on wednesday it wasn't a state of the union but his address in front of

congress. what a missed opportunity that was. maybe that's what they wanted to virtue signal that you are still going to wear a mask no matter what. everyone vaccinated. the ratings was were low so nobody saw it ultimately, it reinforced fakeness. that's what i don't want. i don't want the current fake environment we are in where search pulling mask up can we take it down and when no one is looking i'm not going to wear it but i have to wear it because people are judging me. everyone want to take it off but they can't. it's in fits and starts. you know, all the complaining that the left had about whether donald trump's guidance was clear or not. talk about confused and mixed messaging. talk about not listening to the doctors and the science. that's where we are right now. which is why we are about to play a mix of clips from doctors and excerpts and people in the administration saying when people are vaccinated, they don't need to wear a mask unlike what joe biden just said. listen to this. >> there are many situations where fully vaccinated people do not need to wear mask. particularly if they're

outdoors. >> enjoy going to the park with their family, dining and socializing with heir friends outside. and many more outdoor activities without needing to wear mask. >> when you look around at the common sense situation, obviously the risk is really very low, particularly if you are vaccinated. will: there you have it. obviously we what we are looking at here is something totally antiscience. they are not following their own bureaucratic scientific guidelines at this point. pete: if fauci says the risk is really low, the risk is really low. will: that's right. pete: really, really really tiny. will: jedediah, you said i don't know if this message is going to work. the left thinks the mask is a political message that does work. they think it for two reasons. they turned science not just into a religion because fashion item. they wear science and let me use science in quotation marks. they use it as a fashion, a trend, something that they think sets them apart from

republicans. pete: yeah. will: here's the thing, the fashion, the thing is anti-trump this. is all positioned against president trump. because they assigned and blamed president trump for coronavirus. they need to hack onto the pandemic to continue to set themselves apart from president trump. and the mask is the symbol of that. many on the right, by the way, chris christie former new jersey governor, he said at this point we should all be getting back-to-normal with the number of people that have been vaccinated. i will honestly tell you, chris christie you are underselling it we should have already been back-to-normal. here is where he is on hannity. >> back in school in september all across this country, in september of 2020, we still only have 43% of the kid back in school. we should be allowing people who have taken both doses of their vaccine to be able to go back to doing what they do. businesses should all be open. ballparks should all be open. arenas should all be open. this is something that when people are vaccinated they should be able to participate as

if this had not happened. so i don't understand why the delay in that. i don't understand why the president continues to urge it when his own cdc is saying completely different. will: yeah. i would just say, this look, we use this phrase a lot. let's get back to normal. let's stop saying that we should be back to normal and we should have been back to normal for a long time and a great percentage of the country is back to normal. america is exceptional. time to get back to exceptional. way past time. jedediah: you talk about the politics of it a little bit. from another angle it's confusing. people are confused. when you see people in leadership positions saying one thing and see scientists and their doctors saying something else, it's confusing and everyone, left, right and center is eager for getting back to normal people that i meet what am i supposed to be doing? i want to do what's right and healthy? why are you saying one thing this they need to get on one page and that page should be

defined by the medical community and not political talking points, pete. pete: the challenge is they are not on the same page and they won't be. right now i have the information i will make the choice. ultimately that's what people have to do. it's over, it's done. the onus is on you to tell me why in this moment in any scenario i should be wearing a mask around a bunch of vaccinated people. there is no reason. the science has jumped the shark. that's not where we are at. the other thing i love what you said, will, about trump. it is. another latest example of that the biden administration banning travel to india. are they the xenophobias now? it was all about xenophobia with trump. maybe it was about not spreading the virus. we will see. we are learning president biden's son hunter still owns stake in a chinese firm. despite the president, remember this, promising no one in his family would have foreign business ties? well, lucas tomlinson is live in washington with details on hunter's dealings. lucas, good morning.

>> good morning, guys. roughly a year before election day then candidate joe biden made the following pledge. >> no one in my family will have an office in the white house, will sit in on meetings as if they are a cabinet member. will, in fact, have any business relationship with anyone that relates to a foreign corporation or a foreign country, period. period. end of story. >> chinese business records reviewed by fox news shows that hunter biden continues to hold a 10% stake in a chinese private equity firm. when asked for comment white house press secretary pointed to jen psaki's most recent comments on hunter biden's recent investments back in february. >> he has been working to unwind his investments but i would certainly point you as a private citizen i would point to you him or his lawyers on the outside. >> hunter's lawyer did not respond for comment. the daily caller first reported the story one day after president biden's address to a joint session of congress.

>> in my discussions with president xi i told him we welcome the competition. we're not looking for conflict. but i made absolutely clear that we will defend america's interests across the board. >> can't be ruled out that this is part of some kind of disinformation campaign from china's communist government, guys, which has its hands in all of china's businesses. pete: they do. lucas, that's the point. you are exactly right. the chinese communist parties have their hands in every business therefore if the president's son has business in them they have their hands in our business. and that's the problem. jedediah: when the press secretary two things she says is he working to unwind it seems like a fairly long process that's been going on. pete: big old wind up. jedediah: is he a private citizen. i'm wondering if that argument would fly if it were someone else would the media accept that excuse? will: i'm not sure the media would even pay attention to this

story. the media would probably call it russian dills information and began from big tech because it mentions hunter biden i'm not sure going off history on that one. turning to few additional headlines with you. starting with this. more portland rioters could soon find themselves behind bars. local sheriff changing policy to allow misdemeanors to be booked into jail as he tries to crack down on violence and vandalism. previously officers could only give citations. three people booked on criminal mischief charges since the order took effect last week. and a possible case of mistaken identity over speaker nancy pelosi's stolen laptop an alaska woman says federal agents searched her home after mistaking her for another woman in the search for pelosi's laptop. allegedly taken during the capitol riot. agents broke down the door to her home and confiscated laptops and cell phones. agents showed her this picture of a woman who was at the riot. she admits the woman look as little like her but she says she never entered of the capitol and

agents have mistaken her identity. and turning now to sports as i mentioned. day two of the nfl draft wrapped up last night offensive lineman taking over the second and third round with nearly 20 being selected. quarterbacks also having a good day. the texan taking stanford davis mills this is a sign deshaun watson could be in trouble. could go elsewhere. i don't know. could be suspended. the houston quarterback is facing several harassment lawsuits. and pete's home team the vikings taking kellen out of texas a&m my dallas cowboys as i mentioned not thrilled. they did draft for defense which is good. much needed. cornerback in the second and third round but it was this fan right here that stole the show. bringing the power of power too sweet to be sour to the commissioner's chair with his brown theme macho man randy savage costume. and those are your headlines.

pete: will, help me out am i supposed to like kellan main texas a&m. will: kurt cousins not bad. i know you want to replace him for burt cousin. pete: i just want to win. jedediah: you could be speaking a different language. will: to let you know how big of a news story this is first round of the nfl draft outrated the oscars and doubled the oscar notice demo. that's what's important to america football or the oscars? jedediah: well done, will. pete: all right. well, on another story, fox news alert. we have 90 people were found trapped inside a texas home exposing a potential human smuggling operation. we're live with an update on what police found and if the administration will finally address the immigration crisis in our country.

on that story. other states the economies have returned to full activity. not michigan where michigan governor gretchen whitmer is holding off on fully reopening until at least 70% of residents are vaccinated. >> i want to introduce the mivacc to normal challenge. when 70% have received first shot we will lift the gathering and face mask order. i can't predict with certainty when we will hit 70%. if we all do our part i know we can get there together. will: our next guest says now is the time to return to normal as his restaurants struggle to satisfy their kitchens, bill roberts of the roberts restaurant group joins me now. bill, thanks so much for getting up with us this morning. can we start with this? start with governor whitmer's requirement. she is setting opening up to having sin nation levels. to so, what is it 70% before you can be fully open in your state, i mean, i don't know how to characterize that other than

your business is being held hostage by governor mandate for everyone to be vaccinated. >> yeah. it's been quite a year, believe me. we are about 5 months into this and we have had a couple major shutdowns. last april, may, and in to june. and then last fall we were doing actually decent considering and, of course, we had patios in the late summer and the fall. and then november we got shut down and that went until february. and it was only outdoor dining and dining outdoors in michigan is not a great thing. so, the idea of going to 70% when we are at 49% right now is a long way to go. and i happen to see a local news the other day a mathematician and he suggested that at the rate we're getting vaccinated in the state currently, it will take about four months; however, he said the rate is going down and as you know, this is a

choice. many people do not want to be vaccinated. will: four more months. >> who knows when that is going to occur. will: to your point, four, five, six more months on top of the 1 months have you already fits and starts on businesses. show folks at home the standards, the levels that whitmer had set. that's the one, that's showing the jobless claims. there were curfews -- there were standards, 65%, 70%. where you can see that whitmer has tagged opening up held at hostage. extortion for vaccination. not talking about persuasion or guidance. not talking about advice now. we are talking about requirements for you to be in business. here's the thing, bill. i have done a ton of diners across this country and talked to small business owners that's only half the problem being open. the other problem is when you are you can't find anybody to work. i can't tell you how many times i have heard that bill no matter what state i'm in. >> you are going to hear it

again because our industry is a youthful industry so generally there is going to be attrition through the course of a year. young people graduate from school, they move to florida they do whatever and get married and it's changed careers. so that happens naturally. but then, of course, when you are closed for months at a time, you start to lose others that decide well, let's go to a different industry. so, it's been a challenge and at this point it's really becoming a joke because we tend to work through indeed and you set up interviews and i would say at this point 80% of the interviews no-show. it's incredible. you know. but the state had drops last spring, the requirement to prove that you, in fact, are looking for a job in exchange for your

unemployment money. will: there you go. >> so that's the key. and there was -- i did hear that they are talking about changing that and, hallelujah. but, you know, then, of course, the extra money from the fed has made it impossible because -- will: that's what i have heard. the incentives are too much to stay at home. i can't tell you how many small business owners i have heard that from i have got to run really quickly. >> thanks, will. will: 42% of people small businesses unable to fill job openings. what a hard place to be a small business owner in america. coming up, president biden going full steam ahead on his latest spending free announcing his plan to revive federal train system despite being discouraged to travel. mask price tag next. we are live all morning long

chawns churchill downs. live at the track. ♪ ♪

in my american jobs plan i propose spending $10 billion a year on passage of rail and freight rail. of this, two thirds would support existing amtrak routes including the northeast corridor but nationwide. this is a bargain, a bargain is a bargain, it's economical and environmentally a lifesaver. that was the president on friday announcing infrastructure plan. we will bring in charles payne to weigh in on that and more. charles, welcome to the show. thanks for being with us. what do you make of the infrastructure portion of his spending spree, particularly as it pertains to rail? >> let's talk about rail. listen, it's a wonderful dream, right, that we would live in this utopia where, you know, trains could whip us from new york to los angeles in a couple of hours. we're not there.

where we are with the current system we have a money losing system that's very inefficient. the notion of breaking it out and making it even larger, more inefficient boondoggle that most people would not use would be nuts. i mean, we lose a billion dollars on amtrak. moreover, when president biden talks about the benefits of taking freight from rails -- from trucks and putting them on rails, what he is essentially talking about is taking away union jobs -- by the way, 40% of the american trucking industry are black and hispanic workers. is he talking about taking jobs from them. by the way, there are 900,000 openings for truck drivers in this country, is he talking about erasing those opportunities. when he off and ons over china and how amazing and expansive their high rail system is. he fails to sprain also 60% of their rail operators lose money. on average, 100 per operator but a couple of them more than a billion dollars a year.

so, do we want for this wonderful idea to really invest in something that is not going to be high speed, you know, the averages 68 miles per hour. all of us have been on it again, if you really got to d.c. you are not going to take it. if you want to take a long trip with maybe couple other people and play cards and read a book, fine. it's inefficient and boondoggle and destroy his idea would destroy jobs, hundreds thousands, maybe millions of union jobs that a lot of blacks and hispanics already have. that's what his dream is that he just laid out. pete: it's a really interesting take on the flip side of that if the future is amtrak, charles, count me out. [laughter] pete: crazy. right? it's unbelievable. he says it with a straight face but amtrak joe always loved amtrak. is he in the tank for it get your take you mentioned a money-losing system that is inefficient, amtrak. let me bring to you something

that has made people a lot of money that is efficient but some think inefficient in other ways. crypto currency, it's bit coin. bill maher called it out on hbo last night. listen to this. >> we knew money had to originate from and be generated by something real somewhere. to which crypto currency says no, it doesn't. there as another analyst put it it's an open upon is i scheme, crypto currency a coin. bit coins are created by what they call mining. unfortunately what is real is the unfathomable amount the electricity those massive super computers suck up for their mining. bit coin uses more energy than netflix, apple, facebook, microsoft, and google combined. pete: what's your take, charles? >> you know, listen, i don't watch bill maher but i see the clips and his angry old man act is getting worse and worse every week in my opinion. his railing at modern society.

when you start talking about bit coin not being tethered to anything. this week the federal reserve probably created $10 billion. what does is that tethered to? what is that connected to. where does the source of value come with that? next week in two weeks, the federal reserve's balance sheet will hit $8 trillion, where did that money come from. and what value is its source? is there a magic golden rock somewhere that's worth $8 trillion and the vault behind jerome powell's house? what bill maher is saying is nuts. if you don't believe in it. if you think it's run-up, fine. you can deface that. these places mining it are mining it because real quick they are using fossil fuels because they need constant power not intermittent power. and that's why they don't use renewable power. ask texas why that's important as well. will: if there had been a prospect on fox bet where you

had asked me who is going to be more fired up about the attack on crypto currency this morning hegseth or payne. i would have picked hegseth. i would have lost that fox bet. jedediah: love it well done, charles. charles: thank you. jedediah: turn to headlines, supporters of susan wright say they have robo call accusing her of murdering her late must ron wright. shear snippet of the robo call. suture wright murdered her husband now running for congress to cover it up. she had purposefully contracted the coronavirus knowing full well that her husband, late congressman ron rite was immunely compromised. >> susan wright reported the call to the fbi and doj calling it illegal and immoral and wrong. it's unclear hot call came from. wright is one of 23 candidates running to fill her late husband's seat in today's special election. he passed at&t way in february after being diagnosed with

smartest people i know. carol swain, thank you so much for being here this morning. really appreciate it you have these two professors. by the way they are not just professors gina harris is also a school board member, a professor at the university and elementary school teacher she teaches middle school theory and practice at the education school. is this everywhere and should we not be surprised that they were open about it. >> the national education association is full of marxists. so marxism has cinched into the mainstream and so in some ways it is everywhere. and i think for the rest of america, anyone who hears that conversation, you know, that's over 45, we know how dangerous the marxist world view is. and it seeks to overthrow -- to destroy the family and overthrow america as we know it.

pete: i mean, that's a strong word. i have used it you use it. the idea of marxism being prevalent, you know, something like the people's history written by howard zen is effectively the u.s. history written from the soviet perspective is that not just what these teachers are teaching but teaching other teachers who then go into the classroom and proselytize that. >> they absolutely are. and i think it's tragic that they have indoctrinated, you know, first it started on the college campuses. now it is in the k-12 schools. and i think it's more important than ever for us to encourage people to educate themselves about marxism and we need to focus on, you know, parents, teachers, grandparents, elected officials. people need to know the history of marxism and its connection to social distancing and those concepts about equity that are being pounded, you know, into

"new york times" landmark 1619 project. they just said it out loud, carol. 1619 should be taught in our classroom, a proposed rule. can you still comment on it right now at regulation.gov but it's up there and this is what they want to push. >> we know that that is flawed-a flawed narrative about american history. it's been condemned by historians on the left and on the right. i mean, it is not the true history of america. it divides people. it's destructive and in itself is part of critical race theory and marxism. we would be subsidizing, you know, the destruction of our nation by indoctrinating our children in falsehoods. it's a bad idea and people need to comment before may 19th. pete: yes. you can go to regulations.gov. just type in american history and civics education and make a comment. only 2,000 right now. closes on may 19th. it's an action people can take

quote, unquote, crisis as he officially cancels construction of the border wall. now, this reluctance in the past to call this a crisis at the border seems to be something they have waffled on, at least over time as you will see in just one moment. for now what you need to understand at least according to president biden is not my fault, other guy's fault. the guy who came before me. watch. >> is what is happening at the southern border, is it a crisis. >> it is getting urgent action. the failure to have a real transition, the two departments that didn't -- i you give us access to virtually anything were the immigration and the defense department. so we didn't find out they had fired a whole lot of people that they were under staffed considerably. >> there are 22,000 unaccompanied children in our country right now. that's a record. that sounds to most folks like a crisis. >> well, look, it's way down now. we have now gotten control. >> so there is a significant change right now, significant

change in the circumstance for children coming to and at the border. will: yeah, it's not his rhetoric not the change in policies what it is, of course, like everything else president trump's fault. here is chad wolf former, i believe, acting secretary of the homeland -- pete: dhs. will: he had so many qualifiers leading up to the challenge dhs role i forget the order they go. he did say the following chad did wonderful job while in office. while i respect the office that's is a pure lie. we briefed the transition team numerous, numerous times, jedediah. jedediah: so this isn't going to work this explanation because, obviously, people with eyes know they are looking, right? now there is video that's emerged. you see the overcrowding. they see what's going on and they know it didn't look that way during the last administration's period of power. so he is going to have to answer to that and i don't think it's going to suffice for him to blame, you know, he has talked about a lack of transparency

from the last administration. in other words, there wasn't proper communication between us as we came in to the presidency. i don't think that excuse is going to work. i think this clearly has been incentivized and people know that i think there has been a clear lack of transparency that had to be -- basically a fight to get journalists on the ground in there to get proper video, proper footage but i don't think this is going to be an instance where pointing fingers or blaming back is going to be successful, pete. pete: yeah. you are right, jed, it's all in the context of the previous administration. they are taking credit in covid for vaccines and the process that was started under operation warp speed as if none of that ever happened. then, when it comes to the border, and a crisis really does unfold, somehow the crisis that didn't exist existed before they got there even though all the data points point to his election and inauguration. i mean, it's not a crisis, guys. but we're just happening ton sending 500 members of the agriculture department downs to the border to help out.

because, when i signed up for my job at the agriculture department i really thought i would be down at the border dealing with unaccompanied minors or feeling gaps in the border wall that they just announced now they are not going to finish. it's absurdity. and this interview, i didn't see the context entirely of the question. i wonder how much follow-up there was. it's absurd the soft pedaling this administration gets on this specifically. will: look, i have been to the border, as many have. i have talked to the law enforcement at the border, the sheriffs along the border, who do need help, who want help, who are asking for help in handling this crisis. i don't think the top of their mind was can we get some help from the usda. that wasn't necessarily the help they were looking for but that's the help they are getting now. i mentioned this waffling on crisis/noncrisis. what did he just say urgent action? pete: mumbled out urgent action. will: there we go. back in 2014 though, pete, he didn't have trouble finding the right word it was very clear back then that it was a crisis. here is joe biden in 2014.

we're all hit committed to take bothed me steps in the crisis in the long-term challenges that we're going to have to meet. going to address the steps we're taking on the immediate crisis in a moment right now secretary johnson, cecilia munoz the president's policy adviser on the tex-mex co-border getting a firsthand look at the crisis. humanitarian crisis caused by the number of crossings. can he would look at the number of crossings? that crisis in june of 2014; 20,000. march of 2021. 127,331. anything but to use the word crisis. urgent action. urgent something. urgent don't make me say crisis. jedediah: yeah, obviously a political decision. he is afraid that if he says it's a crisis, then people will say why did this crisis happen on your watch and more importantly what are you going to do about it? it looks to me that they don't know what to do. they don't want to reverse policy. they don't want to give any credit to the prior

administration for anything that they did that was successful in this vein and they don't want to upset voters who elected them, you know, expecting them to be weak on immigration, frankly on these issues. weak on border security. so i think that they are in a very, very tough spot. the problem here is that it is a still pandemic times that there are children in these conditions. and i think that people across the political spectrum are looking at this and feeling that they are compelled to ask tough questions. and to get answers on this. it's just not a sustainable situation. and it's not just affecting border towns. it's going to be affecting other areas where processing centers will have to pop up because there hasn't been enough room in the border town. pete: there is only one thing in between the bind crisis sandwich of 2014 and 2021, that was the only sincere and earnest attempt to secure our border our country has seen in a generation. and that was donald trump in the border wall that you are looking at right there. you are looking at remain in

mexico. the things they attempt toed to do to get their arms around it you saw in the speech on wednesday guys he is talking about comprehensive immigration reform yet again. is he not willing to secure the border. he is undoing all of that and then says we need a pathway to citizenship. the playbook is the same. the only person that changed the playbook was donald trump actually trying to secure it. there is one portion of what former president trump did during his administration that was demonized completely as xenophobic, that was restricting travel during covid-19 from other countries. take, for example, china what the president dids he was very focus we are told by joe biden and others. the irony of remembering that is that next week the biden administration or this week the biden administration restricting travel to and from india which is suffering from a very strong second wave of covid-19. so they are judiciously saying maybe we should stop travel there. well, let's remember how joe

biden felt about then presidential candidate felt about what trump was doing. this is january 31st 2020. so we are going back a year and a half this. is what joe biden said as a candidate. said this is no time for donald trump's record of hysteria and xenophobia. hysterical xenophobia and fear mongering to lead the way instead of science. hysterical xenophobia is how he described it, will. will: that's not all he said this is what he said in march 12th of 2020. a wall will not stop coronavirus. banning travel not stop it. this disease could impact every nation and every person on the planet we need a plan to combat it. look, the plan for the democrats for joe biden for over four years was fairly simple. it's not trite to say this and not trite to say it over and over again. it was orange man bad. anything that president trump did the right thing for them to do was just find the polar opposite of it that's what exposes so much hypocrisy now

when you actually have power. can you no longer just follow that guide bs principle of yours to just payment president trump as the antithesis of everything you should be and stand for. it just doesn't work it also shows how shallow and stupid the entire premise was. let's just be the party of anti-trump. it's everything that's gotten the guiding light for four years. >> i think then president trump was correct to do what he did with respect to china. i think president biden is correct to do what is he doing with respect to india right now. i think that if you are concerned about coronavirus, these are decisions that are very similar and i think they follow a consistent line of thought. the problem is that people -- criticize one and not the other. create a narrative about one and not the other. that's a problem. we are all witnessing that we have watched that over the past decade perhaps more than ever before. increationly so in the last few month particularly during the lockdowns. jason chaffetz weighed in on president biden's hypocrisy with restrictions from india. let's listen to what he had to say about the comparison and how both presidents were treated.

>> it's a sad situation in india. nobody wants to see them suffer. i'm glad the united states is going to provide aid and as much equipment as we possibly can. i think joe biden is very slow on this. i think they probably should have shut down the travel a while ago. and it just shows the hypocrisy and how fundamentally wrong joe biden and the rest of the democrats were. quite frankly when donald trump was doing the same with china back when this was emerging. it is going to spread but it could have been slowed and the democrats started calling, you know, xenophobia, instead of actually following the science back then and it just highlights, i think, the hypocrisy of the democrats. jedediah: and of the media. pete: yeah. absolutely. and he also -- part of what he said is joe biden is very slow on this. he could have acted a lot quicker on what the movement he made in india. you have to be in front of a virus. that's why i think that's part of why trump was so criticized. inherently because it's him, will, you are absolutely right. but also because he moved right away to say travel from china

has to stop. we get the depth and threat of this virus and he was orange man bad. you're right. jedediah: all right. we're going to turn to some headlines for you now this hour. reality tv star josh duggar pleads not guilty to federal child pornography charges. the former 19 kids and counting star was arrested thursday in arkansas. is he accused of downloading child sexual abuse material online. his parents jim bob and michelle duggar issuing a statement saying in part it is our prayer that the truth, no matter what it is, will come to light and this will all be resolved in a timely manner. and former new jersey governor chris christie may run for president again possibly making a bid in 2024. here's what he said last night on hannity. >> i certainly am not ruling it out, sean, a long way to go yet. but i'm not going to rule it out. i think i have a lot to say and a lot to do for the country in the future. we will see how the next few years ago. jedediah: christie said a potential run from former president trump would not stop him from joining the race. and trevor lawrence doubled the

>> what they ought to be doing is be figuring out how do we become not an oil and gas company but how do we become an energy company? if you were sitting there in the oil and gas company you don't want to be sitting there with a lot of stranded assets and some people are obviously fighting to hold off that up evidentability. evidentability.that fight is usu will end up on the wrong side of this battle. pete: no more oil for john kerry. according to documents by fox news john kerry invested millions in in at least five oil companies prior to entering his new post. joining me now to react is executive director of power the future daniel turner. daniel, help me out here. we know double standards are the standard for john kerry to go out there and say no more oil and having made a bunch of money on oil prior to that come on.

>> you are absolutely right in terms of the double standards. he owns multiple homes. flies around in private jets. is he not going to reduce his carbon footprint though he will push forward policies that will punish average americans and force them to do the same. look, john kerry, i will give him credit for maybe the first time ever, he made smart investments because he knows that oil and gas are going nowhere. he bought the -- i feel like cavuto and varney would be celebrating this purchase, right? he knows that we need oil and gas to move forward as a country, as an economy. he just lies on the other side of his mouth and tells people other sets of facts. it's standard for the environmental movement. pete: alternate facts. to make it clear though, daniel, it wasn't just accidental investment in oil and gas. look at the amount of actual money between 4 and $15 million the estimated value of john kerry's prior investments in oil companies. this is not a rounding error

this. is not oh my investment guy did it and i didn't know about it. he knew exactly where he was putting it to your point and ultimately he may divest but clearly he knew where the industry was going to be. do you think he believes in what he is pushing or he just pedals it because it earns him points in the right company? >> he absolutely pedals it because he knows the environment movement much like the covid movement. it's an opportunity to push forward policies that you -- taking advantage of a crisis. so he is pushing this political and partisan purposes. look, the amount of fossil fuels required to make so-called green energy, most of it by the way is manufactured in china but the amount of oil, gas, coal, right? solar pams, the glass on the solar panels is quarts that has been melted. it's melted by coal. the feel in solar panels and wind turbines all come from melt ago steel which is generated from coal. oil, gas, these are petra

chemicals. so this idea that joe biden is pushing as president and john kerry is peddling worldwide that we will be net zero it's a lie. we are never going to be net zero because everything is a petra chemical. pete: maybe secretly john kerr canny is in the pocket of the oil industry because he knows all of that but keeps peddling other alternative energies backed by the government. interesting stuff. daniel turner, thank you so much. appreciate it. >> thank you. pete: still ahead, a significant moment will happen at today's kentucky derby with the first african-american jockey set to compete in eight years. we will check back in with janice dean. she has talked to the man hoping to ride his way into the history books. that is next ♪ ♪

remained calm and respectful and gentle with her arguments. i think she was trying to get that gotcha moment and to confuse me and just say oh, i don't know. will: you said left wing ideology or point of view or agenda, i think you are right. because clearly an exchange i can see here, she is talking about the police department ties to run away slaves. tying men and women uniform today protect us someone might harm us, invade our home or whatever that might be. when you brought up who would you call her answer was, what brayden. >> no one. she wouldn't call anybody. i was expecting an answer such as she would call a social worker because a democrats are call for social workers and i was assuming she would say social worker. she says no one. i said would you have a gun on you? and she said no. i said okay, well, that was

interesting. i was very surprised by that never heard an answer like that. interesting. will: right. what is she going to do to protect herself. she went on to say i feel more endangered by police which is statistically insane. total lack of understanding what the situation is in our country right now. here is what i want to ask you, brayden, before i lose you today. what you did is stood up for truth and rationality. but those are two concepts that take a measure of bravery to actually say out loud, much less in a classroom setting and you talked about using your cool and calm approach to the argument. but, that was certainly a situation where you could be quote, unquote, canceled. whatever that might mean for you. i don't know, get an f, banished from the college campus. did any of that enter your mind? >> yes. when i saw the video, recorded that was on our zoom. it was recorded by her, i was worried about my grade and i was worried about my class and my future at that college.

but, i think two what to say to the college students that are republicans or conservatives or even christians like me, don't be afraid to speak out against what they teach at college and we, as republicans need to remember that we have the policies. we have strong policies and we need to remain strong and tough but do it with gentleness and respect. who wouldn't want lower taxes and a strong military and safety at home? that's like the best policies you can ever have. it's pretty common sense. i agree, yeah, free speech used to be a liberal agenda and not so much anymore. will: i think that's the point. it's not just conservatives or christians not just republicans, actually anyone who doesn't want just one radical point of view shoved down their throat. need to find some measure of strength. a spine like you exhibited right there, brayden. that took strength and spine and more people need to stand up. >> thank you. will: and say what just not what they believe but what is true out loud. by the way for what it's worth

that professor is taking a leave of absence from cypress for the rest of the semester. thank you for being here this morning. >> thank you for having me, appreciate it he. will: pete, over to you. pete: you have got to love brayden, that's awesome. good for him. will: yeah. pete: turning for a few additional headlines this morning. a procession is held for two fallen heroes. dozens of law enforcement and fawrnz escorting to two north carolina deputies killed in an ambush. the deputies were shot and killed during a 13-hour standoff earlier this week. funeral services for deputy logan fox and sergeant chris ward will be held on thursday. god bless them. a new bombshell report says britney spears' dad indicated the pop star had dementia while filing paperwork to control her finances. in an upcoming b about. c documentary paperwork allegedly shows jamie spears marked a box stating dementia placement or treatment as the reason for the conservatorship

also require proof of vaccination before employees return-to-work. it begs the question is this necessary and is this legal? here to discuss fox news medical contributor dr. marc siegel and attorney jeanine itayim: thank you both for being here. dr. siegel, i'm going to start with you. is it a good idea for employers to require vaccination before employees can return to work? >> jedediah, it's very problematic. and let me tell you why. because, first of all, what about people who have gotten over covid-19. we think close to 100 million people maybe had it and maybe have some durable immunity that we can't prove and test how immune they're. why should they be prejudiced against if i say you need a vaccine card to get into this business what about someone who is getting over covid? also, healthcare workers, one quarter of us have been turning down the shot, which i think is terrible, but if hospitals don't require this yet, and we're putting people at risk, people

who are immunocompromised, how can businesses require it i think maybe hospitals would be the first place and thirdly, it's an emergency use authorization meaning it's still experimental although i don't consider it experimental, i think it's incredibly safe and effective. under that particular problem, that's more for jeanine on that. but, i don't really think this can be binding. of. jedediah: jeanine, let's talk about the legality of this a little bit. what i see here is a potential very, very slippery slope when it comes to people's privacy rights with respect to their medical history. what say you? >> so, the case that everybody relies on is jacobson vs. massachusetts that required get vaccine. 1905. prior to hip part of the cares act suspended a lot of our privacy right under hip that pa. right now they are not even doing enforcement if in good faith disclosure of your

personal health information. so, that's kind of problematic to me because that was done by the ocr and the hhs and i don't think that they have the ability to do that in the first place but it was under an emergency that was back in february of 2020 but it's still going on. jedediah: many different states have handled covid-19 very differently. what i have been thinking of, is it possible you will see different types of companies in different locations different rules people make decisions about where they want to live and work in a very different way than they have done in the past? you see wide open. texas wide open and then you compare to california which hasn't been wide open but then the case rates are dropping dramatically to the point 4 in a thousand cases. will california being more regulated saying hey, our

businesses you have to use the vaccine card to enter. i think there will be a lot of variety on that. completely agree with you. one point i would make though from a public health point of view where this might make sense is when the pandemic is on the upswing where you say look, you are putting other employees at risk here. but we're on the down swing. we are coming out of the pandemic. so it might seem a little bit too strong and forceful in a situation where your risk is low. jedediah: jeanine if they ask ask you that you have been vaccinated and gotten the vaccine ask you a lot of other personal health stuff too what's next if that's approved? >> that is what everybody should be very afraid of right now though. is the question. what else can they ask you? the whole point of hipaa is we wanted people to be able to get jobs and not be discriminated against because of a prior medical condition. we wanted them to get health insurance when they are going between jobs this. is a very scary thing. jedediah: yeah, i want to thank you both for being here. this will certainly not be the end of this discussion. this is just the beginning. we appreciate it.

been vaccinated it's a small precaution to take that has a profound impact. it's a patriotic responsibility for god's sake. will: it's not patriotic it's antiscience that larky. everyone knows the at a time that and science behind outside transmissions. the only real question is why are they hanging onto the pandemic? that's it? why are they hanging on forever. we talked about it throughout the morning. conversational ocd. i have said this before let me give you four quick ones and i will go quickly. number one lost sense of proportionality. we being like agore phobes afraid to go outside. part of the identity and personality and how they find virtue. number three president trump. we talked about that before. opposition to president trump and they see covid as the wedge issue that puts them on the other side and number 4, it's power. cuomo garcetti, de blasio, whitmer, it's their source, their font of power. it's given them unprecedented meaning and they will not let this go. that's what this is about at this point. jedediah: the unfortunate reality is that people listen to them and they get confused, right? they go to their doctor the

doctor says one thing and then they hear the president of the united states who maybe they voted for and maybe they respect him and respect his opinion and suddenly he is saying something else. that's why you see people outside jogging with masks on. it doesn't make any sense. it's not supported by medicine. it's not supported by science, but, because of the conflicting messaging that this administration is oddly comfortable with, people feel very confused and feel very hesitant to revisit their old lice and get back to normalcy. that may, once again, be part of a larger agenda. i don't know. but it's not fair more than anything to people who really really need to get back to normal. on that note, pete, doctors, experts have weighed in and they have talked about whether or not these masks are needed particularly when you are outside listen to what they had to say. >> >> there are are situations where vac sib nateed people tonight need to wear a mask particularly if they are outdoors. >> going to the park with family dining and socializing with their friends outside. and many more outdoor activities

without needing to wear a mask. >> when you look around at the common sense situation obviously the risk is really very low. particularly if you are vaccinated. >> if king fauci is saying the risks are very low, then the risks are absolutely minuscule. and it's -- you can't say follow the science and then when the science says something that ends your permanent pandemic, you say no, we're going to make sure the risk is at negative 10%. it doesn't add up. it's certainly not patriotic. it's a total sham and it reinforces fakeness. now we are faking it for each other because we know who is going to judge me here and can i and can't i? really know i don't have to wear it and i shouldn't have to. but the rules are still here. it's this ambiguous zone where it keeps everyone slightly derby masked up for who knows how long and everyone, if we could just get together would just say all right, let's drop them. we are good. we are ready to move on. the leaders, it matters with biden because he is the president and what he says

point in 2021? pete: oh, yeah. we definitely are. and it was why? well, because she flaunted the covid lockdowns but even more deeply because donald trump did it and they didn't like it and he did it big and he talked about it, was brash and, therefore, the governor who rejected their pseudo science and the president they didn't like, they embrace it, then they have to be against it. then they wrap it in now what i'm calling covid 119. they are saying because it will be a big event, it could be a super spreader we have heard all about. and because it's on indigenous rand and tribes in the area don't like mount rushmore, we can't celebrate it even more in this era of 1619 wokeness. it's unholy alliance. but, at least you can have that small little picnic at your house that joe biden said you could possibly have. jedediah: you might have to be masked. if he has his own way, you might have to be masked, too. god forbid somebody should

approach you closely outdoors. will: pete, he laid out. go ahead. pete: go ahead, please. will: the way you laid it out crystallizes what the modern democratic party of 2021 is all about. the fireworks issue at mount rushmore brings it all together. the party of anti-trumpism. state sponsored racism stay in your house and be afraid of the world. pandemic, race and anti-trump. all wrapped together in this one cancellation of a fireworks show. pete: yeah. and you just made a profound point. i was going to make a flippant one of i still haven't been told who won the joe biden 100 day mask challenge. no one has told me. will: i never want to interrupt your flippant point. [laughter] jedediah: one of the most significant segments we have covered this week and did you a fantastic interview earlier, will, we will get to in a second. we talked a lot about indoctrination that happens on college campuses and how that has spread now and seeing that in a very plentiful way at the elementary school level the middle school level, the high school level. basically invaded every aspect

of education and it's around the country. it's private schools, it's public schools. let's remind you this is a cypress college professor scolding brayden ellis who we will get to him in just a second this. is a student who called police heroes. let's just play that back and remind you what that looked like. >> i think cops are heroes and they have to have a difficult job but we have to have. >> all of them. >> not -- i would say a good majority of them. i do support our police and we have had bad people and the people who did doo bad things should be brought to justice. i agree with that. >> you are saying police officers should be revered. viewed as heroes they belong on tv shows with children? that -- >> -- i think they are heros in a sense because they come when you need and help you. >> they are actually supposed to protect and serve the people. >> they do protect us. who do you call when we are in trouble and someone has a knife or a gun? >> i wouldn't call police. >> why wouldn't you call the police. >> i don't trust them. my life is in more danger. >> who would you call? in their presence. >> professor, would ho would you

call? >> i wouldn't call anybody. pete: she went on to say, guys, he pressed her a little bit and said really what would do you? she said i would say shew, shew, get out. it's absolute foolishness nonsense being sprayed back at brayden, will, he is standing his ground. you did a great interview with him earlier in the show where the young student you saw in that clip brayden ellis spoke to us about what it was like to be in that moment and why conservatives should not be afraid to speak up. listen. >> i think her argument was, you know, she is more of a left wing person and i think she was trying to get a gotcha moment out of me. and i just remained calm and respectful and gentle with her arguments when i saw the video, i was worried about my grand i was worried about my class and my future at that college, but, i think to what to say to the college students that are republicans or conservatives or even christians like me, don't

be afraid to speak out about what they teach at college. we as republicans need to remember we have the policies, we have strong policies and we need to remain strong and tough but do it with gentleness and respect. will: more people need stand strong and brave like braden not just conservatives but republicans. anyone who doesn't want to be indoctrinated into the far left ideology. there has been language. people tried to paint nic sandmann on the national mall as smug because he stood politely when somebody approached him. you remember the native american and nick sandmann he ended up suing the cnn and the "new york times" who knows for how much. that professor definition of smug. those responses she was giving braden in that clip in that zoom class that is what smug is she by the way is on leave 6 absence. here is what cypress college in california will to say any efforts to suppress free and

will not be tolerated the adjunct professor will be taking a leave of absence for the duration of her assignment cypress college this was her first. we are considering the adjunct professor and student will address it fully in the coming days. jedediah: that teacher is on a leave of absence. but that style of teaching happens all the time. now if she were really teaching that class she would have stepped back and allowed those students to debate each other and have a forum for discussion. instead she injected herself ideologically into that. if you are uncomfortable as a parent watching that, you need to know that's hang in classrooms of all ages all around the country. that is what you are up against. pete: yeah, she was counting on the entirety superiority of the student for him to back down and he didn't. it was wonderful to see because it's so easy. the path of least resistance is to just fold and say good for him and it will require as you mentioned jed, a lot more of that in the future. all right, we have a few

additional headlines this morning as well, including this a shocking video shows a gunman opening fire on an suv in broad daylight. the brazen attack was caught on surveillance video in new york city. police say the driver died after being shot in the stomach. it's unclear what led up to the shooting. the nypd is looking for the gunman. the department is offering a reward for information leading to an arrest. an idaho police officer getting a flood of online support after he was suspended for making a tiktok video that i'm sure you have seen bashing lebron james. >> lebron, hey, yeah, it's me again. listen i'm out here at this disturbance call and there is a guy trying to stab another guy with a knife? what do you think i should do? it doesn't make a whole lot of sense but then you are really good at basketball i guess i will take your word for it. [laughter] pete: in just two day as go fund me raised nearly $700,000 for officer nate silvester he plans

state says this. they said that comments were made not in an official organizational position and msa has never advocated for false emergency calls as for lauren meyers herself, we asked for comment she said the remarks i made in an april 14th meeting were said out of frustration. so let me be clear, i have never encouraged people and never would encourage people to make fake, phony or illegal calls to the police except alissa, that's exactly what she wanted to encourage people to do. >> you are exactly right. the proof is in the video. she calls to use up their resources to make them show up to something particularly reckless for the university of minnesota students in leadership calling for this ridiculous action the university needs to do something besides making a statement. especially coming from a student like myself who doesn't want to be represented by someone who

department down there to help with the noncrisis. so what is the -- i believe the bill is the bipartisan border solutions act. what are you trying to do? >> yeah, the bipartisan solutions act does a couple things. one, number one, it takes border patrol agents out of the processing business and gets them back into the national security business. they want to be out in the field. they want to be protecting our borders. that's the number one thing. the second thing it does is it adds 150 judges to the equation. we need to have these immigration judges on the border processing these cases immediately. this is the way it works. if somebody comes over and they make it -- they make their way through, they immediately call home and they let everybody know that, hey, i got through, everything is great. and then, guess what? all they start coming along, too. well, if they -- if they don't make it through, they come over, they get processed and they get turned around, that word starts getting out, the judges his critical to it all. this is the only bill the bipartisan border solutions bill is the only bipartisan and

smuggling and a stash house there and a stash house there. it was just unbelievable. now, what we have seen it's not just those towns along the border. it's houston, it's san antonio and it's going to be elsewhere as well. it's not the crisis is continuing to grow. it's continuing to expand. the fact -- it's so frustrating to not have a partner, someone who work with in the administration to just go, look, it's not -- this isn't a republican party. it's not a democrat problem. let's work together to try to solve this. we deserve that. the people that live near and on the border deserve that. but it's so frustrating that there is nobody from the administration that will just take any leadership role in this. jedediah: congressman, thank you. i think that's a fantastic point this. is a moment that we should all be united on trying to find a solution and unfortunately that seems to not be the case and we need some leadership that also, unfortunately seems to not be the case with respect to this administration right now. we can hope that things will improve and we do. thank you so much for being with us this morning. >> thank you, again.

camp ask them to leave or go to a different area. on the other hand typically what happens in seattle there is soft corruption where we have a lot of service providers our mayor is very careful to use the most cost effective one and people on the city council have friends that run the more expensive programs and often try to pressure our mayor into using those and what it looks like here is the school board is trying to influence the mayor and farce them use or encourage the mayor to use these more expensive services that are less cost effective that get less people off the streets. jedediah: amazing. your son goes to that school. has he talked to you about how he feels about it or any of his emotions to what he sees right so close to his school? >> yeah, so is he scared. you know, he has heard about the weapons that are down there attacks park workers so chatter about that warning sign,

frightening situation for him. is he not comfortable with it at all. jedediah: i imagine so. we have a statement from the seattle public schools on these homeless camps. we acknowledge community schools encampments of individuals experiencing homelessness. we take this issue seriousously and working with the city actively to address encampments of unhoused people near our schools. it seems to me like that's an excuse that will fall on deaf ears. parents, look at this and they say do better. while why does it take so long to get you to do something about a situation that makes our kids feel uncomfortable and in many cases makes us feel uncomfortable? >> that statement is not true at all. they are not working with the city. they denounce the city's strategy. the school board has no interest in solving this problem. they just want these people to stay living in tents on school property indefinitely. complete dereliction of duty. they are not doing their job. they don't care about student safety or well-being. the school board is doing a

terrible job. jedediah: yeah, looks like they have swept a camp at a playground. so perhaps there is some hope that they will take these encampments that are near schools seriously in the near future. we did reach out to the school board for updated statement. we have not heard back as of yet. but we will absolutely update the audience and have you back if they do update that statement or if there are any updates to the situation. thank you for being here and sharing your story with us. >> thanks for having me on. jedediah: coming up, janice dean is serving up kentucky derby's classics live from churchill downs and she may even show us how to make a mint julep with a $1,000 price tag. say what? that's coming up. ♪ ♪ higher love ♪

covered the lack of transparency when it comes to journalists, that weren't allowed to cover that for a long period of time and i think he's worried and rightfully so this will be part of his legacy and impactful in terms of a potential re-election he knows that and he's trying to figure out how to present it in another way. well we talked to representative tony gonzalez, from texas, and he said it's time for congress to take the lead on this issue. take a listen to what he to say. >> you know, the border is as bad as its ever been and it's only getting worse. regular people have seen their small towns along these borders turned upside down. it continues to spiral out of control. it's unbelievable that this president won't act, but here is the thing. on the ground, the people demand action. it is continuing to grow. it's going to continue to expand it's so frustrating to not have a partner, someone to work within the administration, to just go look, it's not, this isn't a republican problem. it's not a democrat problem. let's work together to try solve this , people demand action,

whether the president helps or not, congress has to lead. pete: people are demanding action. it affects people's lives no doubt. i think that massively social distanced while vaccinated interview is on multiple fronts is an encapsulation of the biden administration so he says previously we played it on the show you'll see it, that it's your patriotic duty to still wear a mask even if you're vaccinated, but it is not a patriotic duty to actually secure our sovreign borders south and north which he's totally and completely left wide open. when you're canceling the border wall there was a whole finish of certain sections because there are literally sections of wall rusting on the ground. instead he said nope, we're not even going to finish the holes that are there. it's totally canceled and then we're going to send agriculture department employees? i signed up to, you know, teach people how to plow their crops and somehow i ended up on the southern border? you know, standing alongside border patrol? it's insane, and yet, he's able to pass it off.

jedediah: one thing that's hard for me to watch is you're seeing people like representative gonzalez who from the heart are saying "help us." help us fix this and you've seen those pleas from the administration from so many people, people who live and try to make a living along that border and they're just begging the administration, please, do something and they're not doing it so that's again use unly heartbreaking. pete: they don't want to do it. maybe they don't want a solution and it's so clear that they don't. they don't want to think it's political but we cry out for a solution and they say you're crying out to the wrong people, folks we're not here to solve this. this is a problem we're fine with. will: that's the truth it's becoming starkly clear. meanwhile we're learning president biden's son hunter still owns a stake in a chinese firm despite the president promising no one in his family would have business ties. jedediah: lucas tomlinson is live in washington with the details on the dealings. reporter: good morning, guys on the campaign trail then- candidate joe biden made the following pledge. >> no one in my family will

have an office in the white house. we'll sit at meetings as if they are a cabinet member, will in fact have any business relationship with anyone that relates to a foreign corporation or a foreign country, period, period, end of story. >> chinese business records reviewed by fox news show that hunter biden continues to hold a 10% stake in the chinese private equity firm, when asked for comment a white house official pointed to press secretary jen psaki's most recent comments on hunter biden 's investments back in february, over a year after biden's pledge. psaki told reporters the president's son was still working to unwind his investment s. hunter biden's lawyer did not respond for comment and the daily caller first reported this story after president biden 's address to a joint session of congress. >> in my discussion with president xi i told hip, we welcome the competition. we're not looking for conflict, but i made absolutely clear that

we will defend america's interest across-the-board. reporter: it can't be ruled out this is all part of a disinformation campaign from china's communist government, of course they control all the businesses and you guys didn't ask me about my derby horse since kentucky derby winning trainer graham motion doesn't have a horse this year i have to go elsewhere but pete, you've got the wrong horse. you need to be rooting for the number one known agenda owned by vinnie viola, west point graduate, one-time army office and president trump's pick to be secretary of the army and of course that didn't happen , mark esper became secretary of the army, but jefferson jefferson i think you need saint hood. will: lucas tomlinson throwing down the knowledge. reporter: and will, midnight bourbon, i love your pick, but that's just what i had but charlie is a great name too. will: lucas tomlinson knocking it out of the park on that hit.

for the win. more time for lucas tomlinson that's a lesson here. jedediah: thanks lucas. pete: well done. i don't even want to comment on the previous story other than how he finished it which is the idea that every company in china is ultimately beholdef to the chinese government so if you're doing business in china you're beholden and if you're the son of the president that's a problem. will: pete you and i have had a few exertions off set and it's not inappropriate for us to share these on, but what's the motivating ideology and the purpose behind everything going on, tearing down education , american value, the american project, the " racial justice movement", climate change, what's behind it all and we've had conversations, how much does marxism play a role but if it is at issue, one thing we know is it's for the people and not not for those in charge. they don't have to play by the rules they get rich while everybody else gets poor. it's part in parcel of marxism. let me give you the latest example. climate change. john kerry, of course is your

climate change envoy. pay no mind to the fact he's flying around on a private jet that's for the greater good. he's told you, he's reducing the world's carbon footprint if not his own. well here is something else about climate change but not for me. john kerry has been up until very recently investing in oil companies, which oil company specifically? duke energy, cimarex, dominion energy, exelon, valero energy. john kerry, by some estimates had somewhere between four and $15 million invested in energy and oil companies. this is whose in charge, who is in charge of the preaching, not the practicing, of climate change jedediah. jedediah: god love the hypocrisy some politicians turn my stomach more than others. john kerry is one that really makes it go in there. he's really just laughable. listen if you're going to preach this type of stuff to people then your life better reflect it your work better reflect it and you better all around be

committed to that cause. let's take a listen to what john kerry said about oil companies this is from march 2, 2021. take a listen. >> what they out to be doing is figuring out how do we become not an oil & gas company but how do we become an energy company. if you're sitting there in an oil & gas company, you don't want to be sitting there with a lot of stranded assets and some people are obviously fighting to hold off that inevitable but that fight is i think is useless , and you're going to wind up on the wrong side of this battle. pete: you know, guys. it's not even hypocrisy. he knows exactly what he's doing he understands the future while you may move to all these renewable energies, ultimately he's reliability aunt on fas ill fuels that power them at the same time so if you're a betting man you bet on the industries that have always worked and been there. it's just so cynical. he no, he knows his actions and what the future looks like, yet he's our climate czar.

our royal heiness. will: regulations always fit the incumbent and he's invested in the beneficiary of his potential regulations. pete: either way, for sure. jedediah: he also knows people want talk about hypocrisy and not call attention to what his own life looks like and say hold on a second if you think that why aren't you living it and those people are going to ignore that and he knows that too. pete: they want to go to martha 's vindicated yard with them. we got a few additional headlines new york city mayor bill deblasio firing back at governor andrew cuomo in their latest war of words these two do not like each other, telling cnn the probes into governor's behavior and scandals are increasingly unnecessary. mayor mayor deblasio is saying it's almost to the point where we don't even need the full formal investigation, because everyone's just admitting that they covered up. cuomo is facing investigations into charges his administration mislead the public during

covid-19, along with complaints from current and former staffers about sexual harassment. >> and a shop is promising to be more inclusive after an employee refused to serve two police officers. the post millennial reports the officers were blown off when asked for a box of chocolates. the employee reportedly said "no , i won't serve you." the shop posted a response on facebook saying in part, " although we do respect this team member's freedom of speech, the action in this instance do not reflect our views as a company. the store says that employee no longer works there. good, they fired him. >> all right, more than 200 soldiers lining up outside an arizona elementary school to thank military kids for their service. soldiers holding up signs and flags to show their appreciation as the students head to class. the surprise thank you marked the end of military child's month and those are your

the group saying just yesterday, "war against the u.s. will be continuing on all other fronts unless they are expelled from the rest of the islamic world." the former navy seal who killed osama bin laden 10 years ago today, rob o'neill, joins me now rob, good morning. great to see you. ten years ago today, quite a different scene, yet you hear what al qaeda is saying first of all thanks again on behalf of the grateful nation for what you and those men did on that evening 10 years ago but when you hear what al qaeda is continuing to say, what's your reaction? >> well, as always great to talk with you, pete. ten years flies by amazing i can still smell what it was like going up the stairs in osama bin laden's house and it's not as black and white as a lot of politicians try to make it. it should never have been let's go in and let's surge and build schools. we should have kept a low presence, in places near the border of pakistan, and

where we can keep the air force in case we need to bomb these places, but you know, it's the year of our lord 2021. i just saw a video of a woman being stoned to death in afghanistan because she tried to get out of a forced marriage. like i don't think we're going to install diplomacy in public schools. we wanted to get bin laden and i'm really happy we got bin laden and we sent a message we have men and women who will go get you and we did and it's just not as simple as kill bin laden and war is over but we should have had troops out of afghanistan right around 2004 when there was no such thing as an ied or suicide bomber but we went in and did what we always do, we lose wars. pete: [laughter] rob, you mentioned the smell being inside the house. the impact, just sit with me here real quick, 10 years later, what you think the impact of what evening was. >> i think the impact was there

will never be closure for the people who lost so many people on 9/11, but it does help with the healing process and i hear that from people all the time everything from first responders to actually priests that were there, people who lost loved ones were on the phone when the phone was cutoff because of planes slamming into the tower. and it's just one of those things too. i can't even believe it happened i just know the story, 10 years later it's crazy but it needed to be done, it needed americans there to finish osama bin laden in his bedroom and i was so fortunate to be that guy but i was a member that one of the most amazing teams ever assembled and it was nothing but an honor to be asked to be a part of it and i have no regrets about anything. pete: no doubt, the real dream team, real quick, rob. the navy seals are shifting focus from counterterrorism in the middle east to global threats like the communist chinese in russia. what due think about that reorientation? >> when we've been dogged down in afghanistan and iraq, china and russia were building up and

it's just smart. admiral howard one of the first guys i met is probably one of the few admirals who have been in the mud killing al qaeda which he has. he was always big on concentrat ing on the next ridgeline don't get come complacent and not unfortunately , but sometimes the water gets cold the navy seals should get back to their maritime roots because everything from the manmade islands china is putting up in the south pacific, we need to be faster, more agile, the navy has a lot of stuff as far as smaller , faster craft, i'm not going to get into but unfortunately navy seals need to get back to their roots because eventually it could come down to electronics where all of a sudden everything including your iphone and gps are off and we need slates and a map and compass. pete: that's right and as you said hopefully we get back to winning wars doing what the we have to do to win them. rob o'neill, thanks a lot, brother appreciate it. >> great seeing you, pete, have a great day. pete: great seeing you, you too.

>> yes so this years mint julep is the cherries and cream based on a late 1800s recipe so it's really simple to make. we've got our vanilla bean in there already. i'm going to do a teaspoon of powdered sugar in there, then a half ounce of cherry juice, and it's wonderful, brings out the cherry in wooten ford reserve and of course we have the best 2 ounces in bourbon for the best 2 minutes in sports so there we go and now i've got to put that crushed ice in because you know it's not a mint julep without crushed ice so i'll add that in there and tuck in our straw and our vanilla bean so we've got that right next to the mint, so we have to have mint in there at some point and i'll add a little more ice to top it off so there we have our $2,500 mint julep. >> i can feel it. i can feel the love in here. now, tell me what the charity is this year. >> yes, so this year we are

>> we're no longer going to see the president of the united states outside with a mask on? >> sure, but what i'm going to do though because the likelihood of my being able to be outside and people not come up to me is not very high, so it's like look , you and i took our mask off when i came in because look at the distance we are, but if we were, in fact, sitting there talking to one another close i'd have my mask on and i'd ask you to have a mask even though we've both bon vaccinated. it's a patriotic responsibility for god's sake. jedediah: joe biden is saying he will continue to wear a mask

outdoors even after being fully vaccinated but what message does this send here to react are fox news analyst lawrence jones, fox news contributor tammy bruce, fox news credit medical contributor nicole saphier and fox news correspondent griff jenkins thank you all for being here, and i'm sure you saw that clip and i'm sure some eyes were rolling let's start with you dr. nicole saphier because this seems deeply irresponsible messaging from someone vaccinated and is outdoors. what say you? >> well, yes and no, jedediah. first of all getting vaccinated decreases your risk of infection but doesn't eliminate it so he had the opportunity to answer that question. look president biden is 78 years old. speaker pelosi is 81, because they still remain high risk of infection for covid-19, despite the fact that the vaccination reduces their risk of hospitalization by 94%, he could say look, i'm old, vulnerable i'm going to keep wearing a mask whether it's necessary or not

but the problem is, jedediah he's saying he's going to wear it when it's scientifically unnecessary and the cdc doesn't even recommend it so unfortunately what message this sends is virtue signaling and it actually undermines the efficacy of the vaccine and when you already have vaccine he's fancy that's not helpful. jedediah: so griff, i want to ask you, is there any concern from the administration or have you heard anything about the fact that their messaging is conflicting with the cdc? it's conflicting with the medical community in large part? is there any concern about that whatsoever? griff: i heard that, jed but does the president know as of today, the president can wear his mask but he better not dance because mayor bowser in d.c. this week banned dancing and new restrictions regarding weddings which have to be at 25% capacity she said no standing or dancing be allowed, so right now, i'm just hoping somebody gets the message to kevin bacon to go to the nation's capitol and sort

out this because the no dancing ban did not work well in oklahoma and it's not going to fly here. jedediah: [laughter] that is terrific, a great point, absolutely. you know, lawrence, some people argued that there is a desire on the part of this administration to prolong the pandemic. do you feel that there's some truth to that at all? >> i think progressives in general and i called this before this even happened, this is why, i wasn't against, you know, keeping the country safe, but the fact that the state has this amount of power and no one wants to ask the question why, i mean, like who i think is a fantastic guy, a great man, but in the middle of the interview, when he kept saying, you know, you would do this and we should do this , why? why? why should we? does the science support that? like you said that we be distanced anyway? i mean, that doesn't make any sense. both of us have taken the vaccination. we understand that there is not any total immunity, so why can't we have a conversation?

why can't we show america that this is what you can do, once you get the vaccination? no one wants to ask that question and it's troubling that you have the press that is the arbitor and the referee to get through all of this noise, just sitting there and going with what the administration is saying. jedediah: yeah you know, tammy we've seen a resistance to following the science in many cases by people who are out there saying they are following the science, we've seen that when it came to teacher's unions with respect to school reopenings now we're seeing it with joe biden whose saying that even if you've been vaccinated outdoors you should wear a mask because heaven forbid someone may approach so what is that message when it comes to the science and the left right now? >> well, i think president biden made it very clear what his real intention was because he could have reinforced any science, but he couldn't because there isn't to reinforce what he was telling people to do, so he says it's your patriotic duty. now, we've been arguing against that, especially as women, when

it comes to what certain countries force women to wear under the guise of a patriotic duty or a religious duty or to not offend other people, you must remain covered, when a government is telling you to wear a piece of clothing under the guise of many different excuses to signal something to other people, we have a significant problem, and this is a problem of the left is the demonstration of conforming, of also, by the way, training us to take orders from a government for no particular reason, to not expect to be able to ask why, or to demand an answer why, it flips the script when it comes to whose in charge of this country, who the sovreign is, and that's unacceptable. that's what we see not even creeping into this. it's embarrassing, it's absurd theatre but it all moves into this dynamic of the government having more power to train us,

frankly, to get used to taking strange orders that make no sense. jedediah: and it's leaving a lot of people looking for guidance. very confused, as well as leaving a lot of people fleeing some states in favor of others. you guys are all on the big saturday show tonight at 5 p.m. though and you'll have an amazing time i can tell just by talking to you all here. >> we're going to be dancing. jedediah: listen if you're not dancing i will be very disappointed so have a great time. we will all be watching. thanks so much. all right, we'll head over to pete hegseth who i believe has headlines for us now. pete: i do although i just saw griff dance a little bit. we'll keep the dancing to a minimum for him, love him. few additional headlines. >> four americans are among the 45 people killed in a massive stampede in a festival in israel, wow. at least 150 others were hurt as well. police say the stampede started after a large number of people entered a small passageway

will: it's a message of hope for those turning tragedy into victory. in their newest album, grammy nominated group mercyme shares inspirational stories of overcoming the impossible like in their latest single "say i won't" about a long time friend who had his arms and legs amputated after falling to septic shock and here are the

members of mercyme, bassist nathan cochran, and guys thank you so much for being with us, bart let's start with you. we have to talk about the inspiration for the song let's start with this song and tell me what inspired it? >> well, guys, we spent two years making the record and our first single came out a year and a half ago and we thought the album was coming out in the spring and the pandemic happened and we kept writing songs and "say i won't", i started writing it before, in 2019 and it's pretty common to put the song on hold and go back to it and during that time, a dear friend of ours, whose one of our first guys 25 years ago he was a terrible merch guy and he's one of the first guys we hired and fired but we stayed friends and gary has been a part of the family for pay long time, and he got sick like you said, and new years eve, actually, of

2019, and they thought they were going to lose him, he flat lined and they got him on life support , and was on it long enough to where they knew they were going to be able to save him, but they were going to have to amputate his arms and limbs and so the pandemic hits and we had to watch from a distance, and we just saw his outlook, his attitude, his faith was just like nothing we ever seen so it starts showing up in our music so i was trying to finish"say i won't" and it kind of took a turn on the back half of the song it's like this overcom er, like rocky moment of i can do all things through christ gives me strength so keep on saying i won't and i'll keep moving you prong and we weren't see seeing fans and we had a meeting with our label saying we want to make a music video that was powerful so we're like man what if we actually told gary's story and went to him and he was in tears like man

, i'm not emotionally or mentally ready to start speaking on stage or whatever, but we're like let us do the heavy lifting and we can protect you and you can go at whatever pace you want. it turned out great and it's an amazing honor to be a part of the journey with him. will: really quickly guys i want to leave enough time we'll hear you perform live so 30 seconds here, mike i'd love to ask you, gary's story is not just one of resilient obviously, but one about his relationship with christ as well, as are all of your songs please quickly tell me about that. >> yeah, for us, we just write about songs that we feel are, they come naturally to us because that's what's the most important thing to us. christ changed our lives, and so 2020 proves all things can change and turn on a dime, and that's the one thing that never changes. will: guys i'm running quick because i want to take a quick break, bring you guys back, let's listen to "say i won't" and let's introduce the audience
