3:02 am
wins. ainsley: 45,000 people were allowed to be there. congratulations to mr. baffort incredible. brian: kentucky derby are you were able to watch it pregame, post game and the coverage. wait a second, you forget for a while we are in a pandemic. you don't see people necessarily apart. you see people celebrating. that's going to be the theme for the next few months, back to normal. steve: closer. those what we want. anyway, thank you very much for joining us on this monday, may the 3rd, 2021 we start this hour with update out of southern california. rescue crews working overnight after a boat suspected of smuggling illegal immigrants capsized near san diego. ainsley: four people are dead this morning because of this and more than two dozen injured. brian: people smuggling into our country. jackie ibañez joins us live with the rescue efforts. jackie. >> good morning, the coast guard along multiple agencies responding to a capsized vote
3:03 am
point loma 4:00 local time sunday morning there were 25 survivors as you said including one in critical condition this morning four others killed. majority of survivors were sent to different hospitals in the area. cbp saying the 40-foot boat was suspected of transporting migrants into the u.s. recommendation the reality of crossing the border i will really no no matter the method special at sea. the smugglers don't care about the people. they just care about the profit. these people are just commodities to them. it. >> vessel broke apart due to rough conditions 5 feet of surf and wind. it was unclear where the people on board originated from. >> this was a mass rescue operation that turned into a mass casualty incident. one of the bigger vessel accidents and calls that we have seen here this. is probably the worst tragedy. >> and, guys, boat captain is in
3:04 am
custody this morning. border patrol officials say the captain was a bit out of it and spoke to agents at the scene. back to you guys. steve: all right, jackie, thank you very much. a lot of us have not heard about this kind of smuggling operation before but on thursday, the border patrol people stopped a boat with 21 people on it. and apparently same exact kind of wooden boat. and the problem is now we are learning more about for these migrants trying to come to the country illegally, of course, they just know they are going to go to america. they don't realize that at one point they might actually be in a little boat that is overcrowded. there are no life-saving devices and their lives would be in payroll. in peril.they wind out far out o food or safety if we're. ainsley: this was the topic of some of the sunday shows over the weekend. the biden administration chief of staff and his secretary of state they were on two different shows. listen to what they said. they are saying it's not their
3:05 am
fault. >> children as young as 6, 7 years old, coming here with no adult who are sent on a dangerous journey. i don't think that's because of a speech joe biden gave. that's because of horrible conditions in guatemala, el salvador and honduras. >> what we are seeing is indeed a surge of people to the border. we have seen that in the past. but we inherited a totally broken system. broken intentionally, traffickers and others are trying to tell them that the border is open. it's not. >> but children are being allowed in. >> children are the one exception because we will not -- it is the -- it is the right thing to do. brian: is he too smart to not understand what he just said. it's the right thing to do. when you say it's okay to come here it, you are basically something saying sell your belongings to the family in guatemala, el salvador, hun temperature was, whatever, sell your belongings to human
3:06 am
traffickers and get to the border because can you say to people who supposedly family members. have you just given a go sign to another 10, 20, 15 or 35,000 kids to come here because you have the humanitarian approach. you have to think around the corner and the reaction. and it's not my opinion, the numbers don't lie. and they believe success is emptying these facilities and building new ones. no, success is them going back and realizing this is not the way to do it. and if you want to allow more kids to come in, that's something for debate on both sides. they might be able to get on board with but not this way. now, think about this. at the same time you get rid of ice, you say stop picking up people and even though there is more illegals here than ever, they have been unable to penetrate a lot of these sheriff's offices to pick people up and not empowered to do so. at the same time, you said remain in mexico policy is gone. they are angry because they're looked at as international law breakers because of joe biden's laws and for people who think biden is not responsible, they
3:07 am
are waiting -- they are wearing biden let me in t-shirts. they never saw those trump t-shirts. ainsley: governor abbott was interviewed over the weekend by the president not even mentioning this problem, in the address last week, he says it just shows he doesn't even care. this is a problem for all states every single state in our country because the gangs, the human traffickers, the heroin and fentanyl is coming into every single state. he said when he toured one of these facilities in texas there was no law enforcement there was inadequate number of personnel and staff there were sexual assaults taking place. very grotesque, very disturbing agencies. and we are spending $60 million it's being reported per week to house the migrant minors that's $3.1 billion every year. steve: where is that money coming from. here is the governor of texas, listen president biden's approach bending the rule of
3:08 am
law. supposed to detain them, cite them, require them to show up for a court hearing. they have even abandoned the practice of requiring citations and requiring appearance at courts show up. that does mean all you have to do is get across the border and can you do anything you want to do and, of course, that means abandonment of the legal immigration laws passed by the united states congress. steve: which we have detailed how he has on day one changed all the rules regarding this. you know, the narrative was and has been for the first 100 days it's not a crisis down there. but now they have got, you know, they're changing. now they say now we have got it under control because when you look at the month over month number of migrants who are being apprehended, in april it was way down from march. but, it is still a record number of people because as we were talking about in one of those soundbites, the people in south america, central america, mexico, know that if a child
3:09 am
appears at our southern border, we are going to let them in and so that's why we see all those kids. brian: they get the money. they buy drugs, they bring it into our country, it's a lose lose lose for us. i don't trust the numbers to say the numbers are going down. add, this people bring up and lara did this great special over the weekend. how come the governor of texas wasn't this upset when these numbers were increasing not at these numbers at these levels when president trump was in office? the main reason, president trump admitted there was a problem. nobody thought the president was ignoring the problem. he was in the face of his own officials firing them regularly saying this is an issue, i need money, i need a fence, i need wall. i need technology and more border patrol people. there is something about the american people. they know when people try to fix a problem as opposed to ignoring the problem. that's the main difference why these governors are incensed and it's not just the governor texas, the governor of arizona. if you give sodium pentothal to the governor of new mexico he would say the same thing as well
3:10 am
as gavin newsom if he wasn't too busy trying to hold on to his own political career. steve: are we thinking about giving sodium pentothal to the governor. brian: that's an option. that's what i'm going to run on. sodium pentothal to all elected officials to get the truth out. steve: wait, wait, wait. are you going to run for office? brian: if i can get the printer. steve: what level. brian: lowest level possible. ainsley: you are not allowed to we would miss you. brian: maybe i will put it on for hold right now. ainsley: biden administration talking about the infrastructure bill this week. they are traveling all across the map to tout this spending. it's very expensive as you heard republicans saying over the weekend. can you see the map where they're all going this week to talk about it. today in virginia at elementary school. and susan collins criticizing the amount of the spending. she said that's what was interesting. the amount that we spend on this enormous package is the amount we spent on world war ii.
3:11 am
steve: isn't that crazy? so you have got the republicans who have already floated, okay, joe biden infrastructure bill not bawl infrastructure. there is that much infrastructure in there. the republicans come out with this plan for about $600 billion. and, of course the democrats in joe biden's plan is $2.3 trillion. ainsley: republicans want to spend about a fourth of that. fourth of these total amounts. steve: the big news out of yesterday is that apparently the administration has invited the lead republican negotiator shelley moore capito of virginia to meet this week for them they are going to try to see if they can have any common ground. there is no common ground if one side wants to spend 2.3 trillion and the other side wants to spend 600 billion. that's what senator barrasso from the great of wyoming said. >> when i look at this, this is staggering amount of spending
3:12 am
like someone with a new credit card. these are for things that we don't necessarily need. we certainly can't afford but they are going to delight the liberal left of the party. it seems to me that this is a cradle to grave role of government whether it's paying for child care for everyone, college, free college for everyone and ultimately someone is going to have to pay for this. it's almost creating an addiction to spending. brian: just to build on what ainsley was saying before. to put this price tag in proportion with inflation taking into account what dollars are worth back then and now. if you look at the n.i.e. new deal everyone talks about the massive spending projects because we are in a depression. adds up to 856 billion. he wants to spend 6 trillion in 110 days. the recovery from the great recession, 2009. we are all old enough to be in the great recession. i don't know exactly where we were. we might have been wearing similar outfits. $1.8 trillion. 6 trillion in 110 days is it an emergency? not really. i can't tell you how many states
3:13 am
believe it or not are flush with cash that we printed and gave to them and g.d.p. 6.4%. unemployment is down to 6%. as high as 14% a year ago. we are recovering. he is taking credit for the recovery, most of the money that he got on his 1.9 trillion immediately on a pure party line vote isn't even out the door yet. the president of the united states taking full, you know, full credit for it which is unbelievable. here is a bet. are you ready? i think they are going to get a deal done on this. because joe manchin is not voting for it they will have to come to the table. when you are at 600 billion, and the other guy is at-what is it 2.4 trillion. and you could just say listen, i don't even have the 50 vote let alone reconciliation whether this qualifies or not. i think they are going to get a deal done because watch senator cassidy say it senator portman say it and. >> capri: toe, senator capito also i understand indicating a
3:14 am
churn going on here. it. ainsley: even joe biden said he was willing to work with republicans to get a deal done. susan collins says she will not support corporate tax being raised. >> significant because she is usually bendable. ainsley: i'm worried company also leave our country and that will mean jobs. steve: this is all predicated on he would need 60 votes in the senate unless they get rid of the filibuster in which case all bets are off. and everything changes. all right. meanwhile, do your kids go to school? i mean, of course they go to school, but do they go to school with a laptop in their bedroom or do they go to an actual school? joe biden made it very clear elect me and i will make sure that a majority of american schools are opened in my first 100 days. not the case so far. now the question becomes will the schools be open in the fall? anita dunn, one of the president's advisers was on cnn yesterday and said hold the
3:15 am
phone. watch. >> he said probably. he didn't say absolutely. but, given the science, if the vaccination program in this country proceeds, if people do go get their vaccines, there -- he does believe that schools should be able to reopen in september and reopen safely following the cdc guidelines. but he said probably. he said did not say absolutely because we have all seen this since, unfortunately, january of 2020. it's unpredictable virus. >> yeah. >> we can't look in a crystal ball and say what september looks like. brian: i laugh when people say joe biden is so bold looking for transportation. look at what great programs is he offering. really? bold? offering to pay for programs through somebody else's money who by the way we don't even have the money to fulfill his obligations. will do you know what bold is? being 78 years old, accomplishing whatever he did or didn't do throughout his years in the senate and saying there is right and there is wrong.
3:16 am
even though the unions support democrats, i don't want a lost generation. i want these kids back in school. but, instead, he says he has his it flacks go out there and say he didn't promise anything. listen to what seattle k through 5 back in school four days a week sounds good but only two hours. reynolds school district lets children return to the classroom two days week three hours or less. in los angeles two to three days week in a physical school. their teachers stream in their lessons while the kids sit in will school. the problem with more than 100 days later most students still have not returned anything close to normal. but they have proven in other states and other cities you can like texas and arizona and as well as florida. and if president biden really wants to show leadership, he will take on his constituents who are the teachers unions. ainsley: there is this article in the "wall street journal," it's an op-ed, it's called the schools aren't really open and to brian's point it goes through
3:17 am
all the school districts and says they say they are open but they're only open for 2 hours and 45 minutes a day or lawsuit filed by parents last month in new york city because they say the teachers are still missing from 75% of the classrooms and 75% of the children attending these so-called open schools are subjected to remote learning within the classroom also dubbed zoom in a room. steve: yeah. and you should read it it's great on the "wall street journal" op-ed page. they say the problem is more than 100 days later most students have not returned to anything resembling a normal school schedules. document how teachers unions have used political clout especially in democratic states to resist to returning to full-time instruction. mr. biden could help students, working parents and the country if he would speak truth to that union power. as a democrat, is he especially well-positioned to do it. instead, is he defining reopening and, thus, education down. it's a tragedy. and america will suffer the
3:18 am
consequences for decades. just keep in mind, we had heard months ago that the teachers would get back to school as soon as they get the vaccine. that was predicate. forget about the fact that anthony fauci said teachers did not have to be vaccinated, as long as you social distancing. but then the teachers union says absolutely not. everybody has got to have a shot. now 80% of the students have had the shot and they are still not going back. and for kids to show up here in new york city and sit in a classroom while their teacher is zooming in to them, what's the matter with that picture? it's union clout right there and joe biden, according to the "wall street journal," needs to stand up and say enough is enough. ainsley: yes. stop being beholden to this union and think about our children who have already lost many of them more than a year in the classroom. brian: i actually don't think it's according to the "wall street journal." it's called any clear-thinking american, parent, grandparents
3:19 am
parent. if you want your kids back in school and don't want them with a -- it do doo it please don't tell me you care about women in the workplace especially working class women because they're suffering the most. because they have got stay home and they can't write the big check for babysitter or day care. they have to stay home and can't get their career on track because the teachers won't go back to school. and most, hiring people can have the flexibility to get great babysitters who come in and maybe have their -- be watched while they watch on zoom, not for working class women and the numbers reveal that. steve: that's such a good point, brian. but the babysitter who comes in to take care of the family that is affluent and can afford it, who takes care of the baby sitter's kids? ainsley: that's good point, too. brian: i never thought about that. ainsley: when we travel around the country to have conversations with parents so many people have said quit their jobs not getting extra paycheck they don't have a choice.
3:20 am
they have to stay home with their kids. ashley strohmier over to you. ashley: good morning. start your headlines with a extreme weather alert. the city of tupelo taking a direct hit overnight. the storms downing power lines and damaging homes and uprooting trees. no injuries were reported. today two separate storm systems pose a threat to the southeast and midwest. and an investigation is underway after a deck collapses during a birthday party at a tennessee restaurant. 11 people were sent to the hospital. this does include two with critical injuries it happened while a group of more than 40 people were taking a picture. some reportedly fell about two stories. the county's building department will inspect the deck to find the cause of the incident. and kyle busch taking the checkered flag at kansas speedway on his 36th birthday. >> win for the first time this year kyle busch goes to victory lane.

agenda is to end mass incarceration. but we are talking about the most violent of the violent. second strikers, those who have committed two or more very violent felonies and three strikers. three or more serious or violent felonies. let me be clear. this is not about good credit. this is about not being bad. you get these credits just if you breathe air. brian: so who is happy about this? >> well, obviously there is an agenda in california which is anti-victim. they are doing this with the philadelphia d.a. crowds here in philadelphia. they want to release everybody out of jail. they could care less about public safety. homicides are out of control. it the d.a. of san francisco. homicides are out of control auto burglaries. george gascon, los angeles county d.a. homicides are up 50%. homicides as we indicated are out of control. the gang unit was disbanded and so they believe that everybody can be rehabilitated and that we

3:46 am
that could you see this as a bellwether for the election or do you feel like democrats are getting more and more powerful in the state of texas? >> well, i think that the democrats worked really hard but i think that especially having seen what's happened for the last few months with the biden administration. i think that they are more committed than ever to advancing the america first agenda to resecuring the border which was secure in january, to getting our economy back on track. and to continue the policies that we were worked so well for texas. with our strong economy low unemployment, low tax rates and i think that they -- it's just a reaffirmation that that's what people here want. ainsley: we did interview the man how will be running against jake ellzey. he was on "fox & friends first." here is what he said about what this race means to him. >> this race actually is a referendum on what happened in

4:03 am
of the country, nobody here wants to say for sure that schools can reopen fully in person at the start of the next school year. >> he said probably. he said did not say absolutely because we have all seen this since, unfortunately january of 2020. it's an unpredictable virus. so we can't look in a crystal ball and say what september looks like. pete. peter: the white house is a lot more will to stakeout their condition on infrastructure. look how far apart they are from republicans. the biden multitrillion dollars pitch money for senior care, manufacturing and affordable housing as republicans tie to tailor their counter proposal more narrowly to roads and bridges and rail and they are trusting republican senator shelley moore capito to represent their side in negotiations with the president. >> if you are talking about a scope which is roads and bridges and internet and tunnels and
4:04 am
airports and waterways, we can be pretty close. if you are talking about spending hundreds of billions of dollars to benefit public service unions, then we are far apart. peter: we understand there is some back channel outreach to republicans in congress but today they are also trying to pressure republicans in congress by drumming up public support for their plans. you can see all the different places this week that top white house officials are going to try and get people behind their plan. back to you. steve: but, peter, the president, the vice president and the first lady, no one is going neither border this week, right? peter: correct. steve: okay. thank you very much for that update. brian: all right. let's talk a little bit about the economy if possible because the economy is beginning to really get steam. it's not because of anybody's policy. it's because we were told not to do anything for about six, eighth months, and now we are
4:05 am
getting on board because the vaccine, because this thing is petering out in this country for now. keep your fingers crossed it doesn't end up with another surge. if we keep getting at we are at 40 -- almost getting close to 50%. single shot, 30% got the vaccine so the economy is beginning to churn again as people come back to the city. our g.d.p. grew at 6.4% in the first quarter. unemployment dropped to 6%. it's on the threshold to dropping in the fives now after as high as 14%. the problem is right now is no one is giving these numbers to president biden. he thinks two things i think erroneously. that we're recovering because of his plan which just got passed 1. something trillion dollars. and he says we need more stimulus. to the tune of a total cost of $6 trillion. and that's where is he going. to sell everyone on the need to do this. the audacity of going to a school to do this when he is not even pushing for schools to reopen is unbelievable.
4:06 am
ainsley: how do you pay for it? you raise taxes. and a lot of people are concerned about this corporate tax rate being raised to 28% after donald trump just lowered it because, like susan collins said she is going to be opposed to that she is not going to be in favor or vote for that she is scared these companies will close down other countries that will be. cecilia rausch council of economic advisers under joe biden. she is saying in order to counter this corporate tax hike, she is pushing something called the global it minimum tax. listen to. this the idea is to ensure that corporations are paying their fair share to button up some of the loopholes which have been really not -- which have meant that corporations were actually putting more money offshore, off of the u.s. soil. and having a global minimum tax so that we are working with our trading partners. working with the rest of the world so that corporations are paying their fair share worldwide. president biden is really saying, look, everyone should pay their fair share and yes,
4:07 am
internationally we don't want to be disadvantaged. is he also working with other countries so we have a minimum tax internationally so there is not a race to the bottom. steve: over the last couple of years, 140 different countries had been working on some sort of a global minimum tax. what a global minimum tax is simply it keeps companies from shifting their profits to other places like the cayman islands or places like that, regardless of where they make the sale. now the trump administration actually tried to do something similar to this back in 2017 with the global intangible low tax income which would have been at about 10%. which, as we know, is about 10% more than some companies through loopholes, currently pay. brian: tell the rest of the world raise your taxes because president biden wants to do it. so, instead of ireland and these other countries being able to get companies to come to them.
4:08 am
he wants to raise our taxes on corporate tax rates but he wants the rest of the world follow us. really? not a chance. there is a race to the bottom right now because they are competing in a global free market enterprise in order to get business and companies to come. if you upgrade the corporate tax rate to 28%. it's not like taking our upper tax break from 37 to 39. you are just saying to companies according to my shareholders, according to my bottom line, i am better off going elsewhere. and if we want to be above -- if we want to compete with china, why would we go bo china at 28% when they're at 25%? apes ounce you are absolutely right. that's why people are shaking their head. it's ludicrous. companies are going to close down. if you wanted to open a company you can do it for half the price in china can you do that professor brian brenberg, fox news contributor. this is what he says about it. >> we raise that corporate tax rate, we're going to be back at the top of the list of the highest corporate tax countries in the world.
4:09 am
that makes u.s. businesses less competitive. the biden administration knows that if they raise corporate tax rate, we are going to have problems. that's why they want to penalize companies who move investments offshore. they want to penalize countries who don't go along with a higher minimum corporate tax rate. they are going to try everything they can to get around the problem of us having the highest tax rate. but it's going to be tough. businesses and capital are mobile. they are going to go to places that appreciate them. steve: so, ultimately, the biden administration has got to figure a way to pay for all of the spending and so they are thinking about shaking the tax tree and figure out where they can get money from somebody who has got it meanwhile, let's talk a little bit about hillary clinton. she was on another channel yesterday. and she was asked to grade joe biden's first 100 days. she gave him an a. and keep in find she is the wave of bill clinton former president
4:10 am
who said the era of big government is over. yet, she is thrilled that joe biden is creating this new era of big government. watch. >> the approval that republicans and independent voters are giving biden suddenly understood in a clear way that, you know what? there is lots of times when we need the government. i'm thrilled that, you know, president biden is taking advantage of this moment to try to push the agenda as far as possible. i'm not worried yet. i do think that what the president has proposed first with his american rescue plan and then his american jobs plan which is focused on infrastructure of all kinds, and his american families plan is making up for a lot of the problems that american families have faced. particularly since the great recession. ainsley: she went on to say that she thought that president obama
4:11 am
and president clinton were more constrained than president biden. brian: they were. one of the good things about her husband who basically saved barack obama who was tanking, got him a second term, was he actually balanced the budget and dealt with the other side and he -- and she looks at this as the good old days not her husband's days when he actually was able to co-opt the republican agenda and leave with 60% approval ration and say we now have zero budget deficit she is lauding $33 trillion in the deficit which clearly joe biden is not solely responsible for obviously. now she is saying money doesn't matter he is taking advantage of it anti-woke agenda point out is a problem for democrats as we switch gears for years. and including excuse me for the last few months people point out getting very concerned about this. about money. and just lastly before we move on to that larry summers came in who worked as treasury secretary for president obama, yesterday
4:12 am
he said i don't know what we are doing with the spending. there were already labor shortages and food shortages and spikes in the prices of lumber and housing which i'm hearing. people aren't investing in housing because it's costing too much to build it with all the infrastructure. already labor shortages and food services and retail, spikes in everything including pipes, also seeing spikes in the prices of meat and used cars. so we are seeing a problem with what's happening already and he -- and she thinks it's a great thing. steve: well, brian, a moment ago you mentioned woke and there is some big news out of texas. one dallas suburb south lake had a school board district race for two open seats. and as it turns out, the anti--woke candidates won in a landslide. at issue was what kids are being taught and in particular recently critical race theory. and these particular candidates
4:13 am
opposed to it. and it all comes from last summer there were plans for diversity training. they were announced after a video went viral showing some high school students laughing as they shouted the "n" word. and conservative parents opposed calling the diversity police. and then there were a couple of these candidates who said, look, we have got to stop with the critical race theory in the schools. and the wokeness and ainsley, they won 70% of the vote. ainsley: yeah, almost 70% of the vote. that tells you a lot about what parents in that school district really want for their children. this is what one of the lady who won hanna smith she said this: this election was a referendum on those who put personal politics and divisive philosophies ahead of carroll isd students and families and common american heritage and texas values. the voters have come together in record-breaking numbers to restore unit unity by a landslide vote they don't want
4:14 am
racially divisive critical race theory taught to their children or forced on their teachers. voters agreed with my positive vision of our community and its future. brian: these school board spots are getting more and more valuable. i want to be senator or governor. want to change things go local and by the way it's thankless. you put in a ton of hours. usually ticking off at least 30 to 50% of own area many of you go to school with. ainsley: you don't get paid. brian: you do it because you want to give back to your community. severing a fight and of course you have to have a majority. think about that, this fight has just begun because president biden has put the 1619 agenda into as an incentive if you want to get some money into your communities, you want to get this grant money, you put the 1619 project into your school curriculum you will be able to get that money. there is going to be pushback and fights on this all across the country. steve: so when given a choice in the dallas suburb of south lake, the anti-woke candidates won by a giant margin.
4:15 am
all right. more on that. we're trying to book one of the two candidates who ran and won for tomorrow's show. in the meantime on today's show, time for news with ashley. ashley: it good morning. start your headlines with this. rescue crews working overnight after a boat suspected of smuggling illegal immigrants capsizes in san diego. four people dead and more than two dozen hurt. the vessel broke apart due to the rough conditions. five to six feet of surf and winds off t. yesterday. it was unclear where the people on board originated from. the boat captain is in custody. a round of tornadoes sweep across mississippi. the city of tupelo taking a direct hit overnight. the storms downing power lines, damaging homes and uprooting trees, no injuries have been reported. today, two separate storm systems pose a threat for millions across the southeast and the. the road to recovery takes another step forward. 80,000 new york city employees are expected to return to their

last couple of weeksth start to troll me on social media. i think part of his administration is trying to encourage these accounts to start to try to silence us. for. steve: and i know that that's not going to be the case with you. the news just keeps coming. we saw from the "new york times" over the last week that apparently when mr. -- governor cuomo is working on his -- on getting the $4 million book advance because he was a genius when it comes to handling the pandemic it turns out his staff was quashing scientific evidence because if the real numbers were out there he might not get the 4 million bucks. janice: right. and i think all of the proceeds from his $4 million book should go to the victims' families. son of sam law. is he profiting off the deaths of our loved ones answered tried to cover it up.

if that's not obstruction of justice, i'm not sure what is. and the fact that the "new york times" and the daily news today, which is cuomo's favorite newspaper, is really, you know, shining a light on the fact that he continued to cover these numbers up and more and more it looks like he wanted to cover them up because he wanted to sell this $4 million book. steve: ultimately, what is the end game for what mr. cuomo is doing right now? is it to avoid impeachment or is it to run for governor again? >> i believe the impeachment a bit of a sham. new york state lawmakers have disproven time and time again that they are spineless and they just continue to drag this so-called impeachment process out i don't believe that's going to happen. he is not going to resign. ultimately we will have to vote this governor out there.

but given the science, if the vaccination program in this country proceeds, if people do go get their vaccines, he does believe that schools should be able to reopen in september and reopen safely following the cdc guidelines, but he said probably. he said did not say absolutely because we have all seen this since, unfortunately january of 2020. of it's an unpredictable virus. >> yeah. >> we can't look in a crystal ball and say what september looks like. brian: believe me, we can. all colleges have done it the school districts have done it, other states have done it. is that unbelievably insulting just to hear her go off like that and get away with that? unbelievable what we are seeing now when it comes to opening up schools. are you kidding me? you can't commit until september? not aspirational. if you want people to get vaccines if you actually middle schoolers to get vaccines which i think the ultimate goal is you don't go on national television and say the president of the united states will probably go
4:40 am
back to school and which we all know the key in that is even if he sets go back to school you have to have a follow-up question. how many days? how many hours? are we talking about all grades? and will teachers be there when you get there? unbelievable that she said that and got away with that. ainsley: she said 80% of our teachers have already been vaccinated what's frustrating for parents in school districts that are not open. next door the school district was open. brian: amazing. ainsley: they have done it successfully. brian: how does she get away with saying probably? you have got to be kidding me. steve: one of those wiggle rooms probably will do it we don't know because of the uncertain nature of the pandemic. the pandemic has been very uncertain we know that. brian: take a leadership book and turn it upside counsel that's the joe biden manual. steve: here's the thing from the beginning we heard from the schools regarding when they would reopen. we will follow the science. we will follow the science. and then dr. fauci came out and he said you know what? all teachers do not need to be vaccinated to get back into the schools. because of social distancing
4:41 am
and, you know, plexiglass and stuff like that. well, the school unions did not like that. and so they came out across the board with the mandate we are not going to return to schools until every teacher is vaccinated. well now, ainsley, to your point, 80% of the teachers have been vaccinated but still not back to where we were told things would be if joe biden was elected. now we see some email traffic between the american federation of teachers. brian: amazing. steve: and others regarding the cdc. it looks like they were suggesting, look, this is how we feel and politically we are very big so maybe you should go ahead and listen to us and we don't want to go back. brian: so, wait a second. you are saying that they found email traffic between the cdc and teachers unions the teachers union asking to have input and what the cdc concludes this. was unbelievable. here is an example of a quote from the american federation of

4:43 am
frontlines of this covid-19 pandemic. naturally we have been in regular touch with the agency setting policies that affect their work and lives including the cdc. steve: i have one thing that you just said in that quote that has me, it says these public employees who spent the last 14 months serving on the frontlines there are a lot of people who have been serving on the frontlines of the pandemic. ainsley: they are in hospitals. steve: and in grocery stores and all sorts of places that are interfaced with people before the vaccines became widely available. teachers zooming in from their house to kids who are in a classroom gathered alone because the teachers are at their house, i do not consider those people to be on the frontlines regarding that particular statement. ainsley: teachers are heroes we have learned that. steve: where would we be put them. ainsley: they put in a lot of work and they don't get paid a lot of money in some of these states this. just proves -- why are they listening to the
4:44 am
unions? why are they so beholden to the unions? brian: ainsley, do you know what a real leader would be? forget about a party, the person who should be most outraged if they are surprised by this is everybody involved in the biden administration. they should be outraged by what is happening. why are the unions talking to the cdc? i want my science to be pure reporting to me. i don't want them dealing with any union or any outside group. they should be outraged by it unless they knew and they were complicit all along. steve: i think parents should be outraged because joe biden made it very clear he would do his best to get a majority of schools open in the first 100 days. fast forward to now and now it is becoming abundantly clear that the number one group that the administration is listening to regarding school openings is not the cdc because the cdc said they could open. but it is the teachers unions. and they're the ones holding all of the cards. and until they are dealt all the cards they want, they may not open, may not even open next year.

4:54 am
system. the prosecutors didn't think that they could prosecute her for that because she was charged with a misdemeanor impaired driving. and, you know, a 3-year-old died. it's something we do need to take a look at. it's becoming a big issue here in michigan. brian: right now, your proposal would do this. five nano grams of thc per milliliter of blood would be over the limit. but you want to have this conversation and one way to do it is a blood test right now. but i thought that a blood test you would have to submit to that. maybe in writing, people could just say i don't want to take it and unlike the breathalyzer. that might not mean automatic arrest. correct, correct. so we do need to put some parameters around this. obviously there are some issues. of the michigan state police data shows that there are more drivers arrested for thc from impaired marijuana driving and for -- there are more fatal crashes where the drivers then
4:55 am
test positive for having thc in their system. whether or not that's the cause we don't know. it could also be drugs. it's a conversation that we again should have started a long time ago. brian: you believe also you just mentioned to me there might be a breathalyzer that could pick it up too, correct? >> yeah. there is a company that's come out with what they're claiming a breathalyzer that can pick up if you use thc within it's about the last three hours. so, it's technology is there. i think it's something that we really do need to take a look at. i'm open to having the conversation and, you know, when i posted this on social media this week, that i introduced the bill, you know, there are a lot of people coming out that use recreational marijuana or medical marijuana that are not happy about it. they don't think that, you know, that it can be -- that there is a test that can determine it. but, with what we're seeing, you know, people dying in more fatal

minute after the top of the hour peter doocy joins us live at the white house as the president prepares to hit the road, to go to that very place to promote his massive spending plan. peter, give us the details. reporter: the details, basically are that officials here have been pitching a bigger, federal government with more taxpayer- funded services for the american people, and today begins the pr push to get the public on board. >> the president has been clear that he is willing to negotiate, that he's willing to compromise and that he believes that democrats and republicans should be able to find common ground. the president has said his red line is in action. that we cannot afford not to make these investments. he wants to move this package forward in a bipartisan way, if that's possible. reporter: the white house wants to spend this week on the road, explaining to people how multi- trillion dollar spending plans can benefit them so the president is in virginia today, he's in new orleans, sorry louisiana on thursday.

he's going to argue that infrastructure includes senior care and retrofitting affordable housing so that it is climate friendly but republicans are going to counter with a more traditional definition of infrastructure, pitching a smaller package that is mostly focused on roads and bridges and rail, and their effort negotiat ing is led by senator shelley morcapiteau and their mainline is that the white house is trying to spend too much. >> this is a staggering amount of spending like someone with a new credit card, and these are for things that we don't necessarily need. we certainly can't afford it's almost creating an addiction to spending. reporter: in about 40 minutes president biden is going to leave the white house for an elementary school in virginia. it is his first trip like that to an elementary school as president. back to you. steve: all right we'll have a camera there. peter thank you very much of course the president while he's there most probably will talk about reopening the schools which as we know, has been kind

5:05 am
to a infrastructure and b we have serious discussions about how to pay for it. i can tell you how we can pay for it. we can reduce some of our spending, we spent $144 billion a year on improper payments including to dead people. we don't have to give our federal employees a pay raise every year. we can repurpose some of the coronavirus money that we don't need. we clearly are in an economic crisis. i will give the president credit in one respect. i'm not for raising the corporate income tax, but there is a tax loophole, a special interest loophole that i'm willing to talk with him about. it has to, i won't bore you with the details but it has to do with what's called intellectual property and transfer of pricing i'll give you an example. coca cola just got tagged by a federal judge for $3 billion in back taxes for cheating on its taxes, and it did it by moving
5:06 am
its recipe for its syrup to other low tax countries like ireland and others and some clever accounting and they got caught, and i think a lot of multi-national corporations do that, and i'm willing to sit down and talk with the president about how to close that loophole i know it's hard to believe that a company as a ceo as virtuous as the ceo of coca cola would do that but nonetheless he got caught. and there may be potential to raise money there but i'm not for raising corporate income taxes across-the-board because the employees are the ones that pay for it. brian: absolutely they got to move to other countries. the corporate tax is not for us, it's to get these companies to come back home and start building stuff here, get one excuse out. i'm just going to run through this. when you say we're in an economic crisis no doubt about it 1930 we're in an economic crisis and now we're not. minnesota has a surplus of 1.6 billion. michigan has a surplus of
5:07 am
2.5 billion. do you know there's a $15 billion surplus in california in the surplus of 5 billion in colorado, rhode island, 44 million they have as a rainy day fund, oregon 500 million. where is the crisis here that says we got to go write a $6 trillion budget bill, or $6 trillion in spending, or 2.4 in infrastructure? there is no crisis. >> no, there's no crisis and we've known since december. we got december numbers. we knew. everybody in washington knew. we haven't been in a crisis for several months. that's why the last bill that president biden passed was so expensive and unnecessary, it wasn't even about the coronavirus and we're not going to spend all of that money immediately. we don't need to spend it now. we're not in a crisis. some of that money is supposed to be spent over the next 10 years and i think the better use of it is to spend it on infrastructure. steve: yeah. >> but nobody, i can tell you

nobody on capitol hill truly believed that we were in an economic crisis when we passed that bill. steve: well, but they used the coronavirus pandemic as the impetus to try to get that ball moving, so far it has been very effective. senator, once upon a time -- >> well here is a news flash. sometimes politicians lie. steve: yeah, thank you. >> now, some politicians lie, we've learned because they forget but others lie because it's useful and there were a lot of lies told about the economic, so-called economic crisis, and why we needed to pass the last bill. that's why i voted against it. ainsley: one more question about this before we move on to the next subject. when you say only 5% is going to infrastructure, and once that's divided by all 50 states are you going to be able to get the bridges that you want? don't you need a bridge for lake charles? >> well, that's the other thing i would like the president to do the president is going to control a lot of where these
5:09 am
projects are built and i want to make sure that other states, besides california and new york, get some infrastructure, and i've also said that they need to talk specifically about some of the projects that they are considering, but only 5% of what he's proposed is infrastructure. the rest is welfare. it's green new deal. it's redistribution, and he says it's free money. he's the candy man, but nothing is free. you know? anything free somebody had to work for. steve: well, he also said that he would have a majority of the schools open in the first 100 days that has been problematic. senator once upon a time, i understand, you were a substitute teacher. right? >> i still am. i've been doing it several times a year since 2003. i'm very pro-teacher. i'm afraid, i hope i'm wrong, but one of the deepest scars left by the coronavirus will be
5:10 am
the fact that we'll lose some of our kids educationally, and look , i can't name you the first six presidents of the united states in proper order but i'll never forget my first, second, third, fourth and fifth grade teacher. steve: you are right. >> some of these kids are missing out and it's so avoidable. all the president has to do is stand up and be very firm. the teachers aren't the problem. it's their leadership. it's the teacher unions, and he controls the purse strings. he can fix this. he can fix this by the end of the week, and for the life of me i just don't understand why he won't do it. steve: i think you're right. i think it's the teacher's unions they have so much political clout. one of the president's advisors anita dunn was asked about so the schools are not fully open now. how about the fall? you know, 80% of the teachers
5:11 am
are already vaccinated. she would not commit to that. listen to this , senator. >> he said probably. he didn't say absolutely, but given the science, if the vaccination program in this country proceeds, if people do go get their vaccines, he does believe that schools should be able to reopen in september, and reopen safely following the cdc guidelines but he said probably. he did not say absolutely, because we've all seen this since unfortunately january of 2020. it's an unpredictable virus. we can't look in a crystal ball and say what september looks like. steve: senator, you are a teacher, a substitute teacher. who is joe biden worried about? the teachers, the students, or the unions? >> well, his spokesperson, what did she just say? that's just the biggest bunch of bovine waste i've ever heard. look, i'm very pro-teacher, but
5:12 am
i think that many of our teacher 's leadership, they know we just give them bucket loads of money to states that they don't need, except new york and california. they need it, because they've wasted so much during the pandemic, but they know the states don't need a lot of this money, so i think the unions are holding out for more pay and in the meantime , our children get heard and what's so avoidable and a shame about all of this is president biden can fix it. he says he's the education president, and talks about dr. biden. he his spouse is a very accomplished woman and they don't do anything about it and they send out a spokesperson, like the person who just spoke and they think the american people are morons. that's the biggest bunch of bo vine waste i've ever heard in my life.
5:13 am
brian: here is what she said. i can't predict september, but we're opening up by july 1, all these states and cities are opening up, we're predicting that, but we can't predict september, it's good enough for a fourth grader to go to school and a teacher to meet him there? you've got to be kidding me. this is so inexcusable. this is a lost year of development. >> it is. brian: with people who supposedly care the most. >> it's more than a lost year and put the politics aside and the scoring of the points. this is going to leave a deep scar, and it's going to hurt our kids who need the help the most. a lot of middle class kids and upper middle class kids, their parents are going to figure out something, send them to private school, send them to a charter school, but it's our kids from poor families. we're going to lose those. i hope i'm wrong but we're going to lose almost, i'm not going to say a generation but a large portion of a generation of kids here, and it's so avoidable, and all president biden has to do is
5:14 am
grow some arms and stand up -- brian: be a leader. >> say to the unions, no, we're going back-to-school and i'm not asking, i'm telling you. ainsley: i guess it was maybe a year ago some of the celebrities were talking about disney world and some of the stories that our children are reading about, remember cinderella people were saying oh, i'm not reading this book to my child because it's a fantasy to believe that she's going to be happy ever after if she marries this prince and now they are doing this with snow white, because at the end, when she's asleep, the prince saves her, with a kiss, and so there is this publication, the san francisco gate that writes this. the new grand finale of snow white's enhanced wish is the moment when the prince finds snow white asleep under the evil queen's spell and gives her true love's kiss to release her from an enchantment. a kiss he gives to her without her consent while she's asleep, which cannot possibly be true love, if only one person knows
5:15 am
it's happening. so now they're trying to cancel snow white. your thoughts? steve: this ride at disneyland. >> you know, sometimes i think we are so screwed. i don't know where these jack-a- loons come up with this stuff. i don't mean to be mean. i'll try to be nice if they try to be sane and i shouldn't discourage it i guess because so many of my democratic friends believe in it, but it's just such utter nonsense. i doubt very seriously there are more than a handful of moms and dads in america when they lie down to sleep at night and can't , that are worried about a cartoon, and i feel, the people pushing this , i feel sorry for their dog for god's sake. it's just so over-the-top.

5:17 am
brian: it would definitely be better than head lice. ainsley: ashley has headlines for us. reporter: good morning we'll start with this. rescue crews working overnight as a boat suspected of smuggling illegal immigrants capsizes in san diego. four people are dead and more than two dozen are hurt. the vessel broke apart due to the rough conditions, and five to six feet of surf and wind yesterday. it is unclear where the people on board originated from, but the boat captain is in custody. >> and to an extreme weather alert a round of suspected tornadoes sweeping across mississippi. the city is taking a direct hit overnight. the storms downing power lines, damaging homes and uprooting trees. no injuries have been report but today, two separate storm systems do pose a threat for millions across the southeast and the midwest. >> a new york judge orders a suspected synagogue vandal to be held on $20,000 bail only for a second judge to release him

hours later. the man is accused of throwing rocks at five houses of worship under new york's controversial bail reform laws the state cannot hold a suspect with those charges on bail. a separate judge considered the shattering of glass a felony which would have pulled him and he would have faced 42 charges. >> and check this out the portuguese bridge is not for the faint of heart. it's not for me either. the longest suspended pedestrian bridge is open to ages 6 and up and it runs 1,700 feet across the canyons at nearly 600 feet high and the new bridge is inspired by the bridges that spans the andes, mountain valley s it reportedly takes 10 minutes to cross and 0 for me because i'm not doing that ever. steve: exactly takes longer when your eyes are closed. ainsley: just run across it. >> no. ainsley: i wouldn't do it either brian? brian: no comment. steve: thanks ashley.

experienced at how you make the federal government work has produced just a tremendous amount of positive action. ainsley: hillary clinton giving joe biden high marks after his first 100 days in office, but while she's piling on the praise , a crisis continues to mount at our southern border, and the white house is pushing the $6 trillion bloating spending plan. here to react is fox news contributor and publisher at the federalist ben domenech. hey, ben. >> good morning, ainsley. ainsley: yeah, you'll hear republicans talk about no pipeline jobs, oil prices going up, open borders, spend, spend, spend, everything is free. what grade would you give joe biden so far? >> well, i think when it comes to achieving his policy aims of triangulating between the left and the far left, he's doing a pretty good job, but i think when it comes to delivering on what he actually promised the american people, which was unification, bipartisanship, normalcy, he's got to be
5:25 am
considered an f. i mean, the total fail at that. everything he promised during his campaign along those lines has been swept aside, and i mean , its reached a point where the white house wasn't even interested in briefing capitol hill republicans about this latest round of this extreme leftist expenditure of money that we'll be paying off for as long as you, your children, and your grandchildren are alive, and that's something that i think unfortunately puts us in a position where we're just going to have more partisan ship, over everything that actually matter when it comes to policy. instead we're just going to see a lot of money go out the door, a lot of money thrown at leftist projects. ainsley: the latest fox news poll when we asked registered voters what their approval rating is, joe biden got 54% and that was from april 18-21. are you surprised that that number isn't higher? >> well, i mean, it's the only person elected president who was
5:26 am
at a lower point after the first 100 days was the previous one, i think that when you look at the scene that plays out in washington, this past week, you see the division. there's a reason why the nfl draft and the kentucky derby did so much better than joe biden's speech, because his speech looked like something that happened after an apocalypse that wiped out the majority of the congress, whereas the derby and the draft look like things that are normal happening. i mean, you have a fresh faced young quarterback, ready for the new york jets to absolutely ruin. that's really a return to normalcy in so many different respects. ainsley: uh-huh when the voters were asked what their top concerns are, it was economy, gun laws, healthcare, infrastructure, illegal immigration. are you surprised? >> i'm not really surprised by that setup, but again we have to recognize what's going on here. washington is using the fear that people have about the economy that the concern that they have about coming back and re-launching all these things to exact and extract as
5:27 am
many policy provisions as they can from this moment. joe biden promised that he be reopening schools. now, we see his officials going on air this weekend saying well, we might not even really be able to do that in the fall and we have some concerns about the way things are going. what you see again is a joe biden administration that is beholden to the left, to the teachers politicos union, to these woke corporations and to the progressives and that's going to be who they continue to serve as opposed to the broad interest of the american people. ainsley: ben thank you for being with us. >> great to be with you as always. ainsley: thank you. a tech company ceo calls on his employees to choose work over wokeness, but with political talk ban a third of his staff is headed for the door now. we're going to discuss it. >> ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ veteran homeowners. while mortgage rates are still near all time lows,

it straps our energy and redirects our dialogue towards dark places. it's not healthy and has not served us well ." but after he made those comments , one-third of base camp employees have reportedly resigned. author douglas murray joins us right now with the reaction. douglas good morning to you. >> good morning. good to be with you. steve: good to have you as well, so it looks like the ceo and some of the employees, not on the same page at basecamp when it comes to wokeness. >> that's right. this is a software company that's just asking its employees to stay focused on-the-job at- hand. it says, you know, there are important societal issues going on but you don't need to bring them into the workplace. they shouldn't be on company chat forum. crucially, the memo says not engaging in these instructions shouldn't make you fear that your silence is going to be interpreted as some kind of political statement in itself. the ceo simply is trying to make
5:33 am
the staff depoliticize their every day work and get on with their work, and for that, a third of the staff has said they are either gone or they are planning to go. steve: right and you say that's a good thing for that company. >> oh, yeah, i think that companies that want to succeed across america should copy and paste this memo from basecamp's ceo. they should copy and paste it and make sure they get out of their company the sort of people who are leaving basecamp. no company that wants to succeed needs employees who believe that bringing politics to the workplace and arguing with their cohorts about every social justice move into the bay is a good thing. a company that wants to succeed needs to remain focused and needs its employees to to remain focus. basecamp says you can have these chats on what'sesapp in your spare time but please don't spend your working day doing it. anyone should be out of your company, they should be looking
5:34 am
for a job elsewhere, and they will be lucky to find one. steve: well, how did we, douglas , get to this point where a third of that company says, you know, it's too much. i know there's a pandemic, but i'm going to leave this company and find another job because i can not abide by what the boss says. this is what i wrote about as being about people who think that a purpose of life is entirely about politic, that you've got to politicize everything, politicize your family relations, your friendly relations, politicize your workplace, you've got to make everyone in the world get with your program. these are very dangerous people. they slipped into a deeply totalitarian way of thinking that says you're either with me or you're totally deplorable. these people need to be effectively deradicallized. bosses and others need to say to such employees please, you can have your own views, this is what basecamp did, but please don't use the workplace as a way to effectively pro lit size.
5:35 am
that's quite right. they are in their rights to do it and good luck to the employee s who are left. i think probably the most likely thing they will do is find work in government service but otherwise it's going to be very tricky. steve: let's see if any other ceo's issue a similar statement. douglas murray the author of the book you just ref rented " the madness of crowds" sir thank you very much for joining us today. coming up 25 minutes before the top of the hour, thousands of migrants still making the trip from central america to the united states, as a mounting crisis stretches border resources very thinly, but if you ask the biden administration , not their fault. dan bongino disagrees. he's next. i've lost count of how many asthma attacks i've had. but my nunormal with nucala? fewer asthma attacks. nucala is a once-monthly add-on injection for severe eosinophilic asthma. not for sudden breathing problems. allergic reactions can occur. get help right away for swelling of face, mouth, tongue, or trouble breathing. infections that can cause shingles have occurred. don't stop steroids unless told by your doctor.

5:41 am
right? and you say how do i get sucker ed today? i mean, so let's just go through what blinken said and use, again , facts. i know liberals and facts. i know it doesn't connect. it never works, but let's try this slowly here, okay? so with tony blinken is now saying they inherited a broken system, his words, right? everybody heard it, and that that broken system, his words under president trump, we had an average of about 30, 40,000 people trying to cross the border illegally every month that we know about, that's broken, all right? libs math here we're going to do numbers, i know this is hard and now we have under joe biden an average of about 100,000 a month. the system then be three times more broken under biden than it was broken under trump. math, i know it's hard, liberals i know facts are hard, but again , do you wake up every morning and say how do i get
5:42 am
suckered with the leaders today? brian: but there was no follow-up. >> of course they will get away with it because outside of fox news, and conservative outlets, these media folks won't tell the real story. where's the follow-up by that interview was that nora o'donnell? brian: yeah. >> where is the follow-up? sir, that's not accurate. i'm very sorry. you're depiction of the events does not complete. that's what an actual media representative would say, and one more note on this. you know, again, liberals, facts and stuff it doesn't ever work but they don't seem to understand basic human incentive s. go to a search engine and put in operant conditioning. i went to graduate school to do lab subjects and study psychology, it was really interesting. when you reinforce a response, with a reward, here is a shocker , guys, you get more of the response. if you give a kid candy, for playing with a toy, they're
5:43 am
going to play with that toy more when they get the candy. when you tell people, hey, bring your child here and don't worry we won't do anything about it other than give them citizenship and a portfolio of benefits, stunner. you get more children in the united states illegally. only libs can't figure that out. ainsley: people are worried about what's happening with immigration down on the border and also worried about our cities around the country not only are illegals filtering into other cities, but we're also se. i don't know if that's because of defunding the police. i know they cut $1 billion out of the new york city budget but look at this. homicides up 45% in new york city, shootings up 78%, in chicago up 16%, shootings up 25% dan, you were in law enforcement this has to worry you. >> it does, and there's a reason i brought up that operant conditioning incentives thick. it wasn't to try to be saying monday freud on your show, it's for a reason when you sent me these stories, the producers are
5:44 am
tied together for the same reason. liberals will never digest the concept of incentives. when you incentivize criminals to commit more crime because you engage in things like bail reform where you let them out, the average criminal says to himself, well, if i can make a couple thousand dollars a day, you know, sling diagnoses drugs on the corner and i'm only going to have to spend 15 minutes in jail before i get out no one comes and gets me on a warrant anyway, they say to themselves it's pretty profitable to do a criminal activity. again, this is only hard for liberals. now, on the other side why is crime exploding? i just gave you reason one. reason two, when you disincentivize cops, the opposite of an incentive for the liberals is when you disincentivize cops to stop criminals and you tell them your public enemy number one, the cop s and by the way if you ever lay a hand in a use of force situation justified or not on a criminal you're going to become infamous on social
5:45 am
media and liberals pile on. here is a shocker when you disincentivize the enforcement of a law you get lessen force ment of the law. again this is only hard for the stupid people. same people get this. when you enforce the law, and criminals go to jail, crime goes down. when you don't, crime goes up. it's really sad we have to talk this way, because i really, i tried to breakthrough and i get it that liberals close me off, but it's the only way to try and breakthrough to these people who don't understand the concept of an incentive for some bizarre reason. steve: well you made your point given the fact that you were in law enforcement for a very very long time and you've got a unique point of view. >> that's right. strategist thank you, mr. dan bongino. >> i saw it, i saw it. brian: and dan, just for the record, my undergraduate education, i taught in my psychology class to press a lever by giving it incentives. >> listen different training
