11:02 am
advisers linked vaccine access to support for the governor. as criticism grew in march, adviser larry schwartz called officials asking them if they would demand cuomo's resignation. quote: at the time of mr. schwartz's calls, they were typically speaking with him about allocation of vaccine supplies, not politics. mr. schwartz has said he didn't link vaccine distribution to political considerations, but it's not the only scandal surrounding the governor. he also faces a sexual harassment investigation as well as a look into his early policies during the pandemic that centre covering covid-19 patients from the hospital back into nursing homes. cuomo has said republicans are the9 ones who turned this matter into a political one. >> they have taken every attempt to politicize it and blame democratic states. they then not only politicized it, they tried to criminalize
11:03 am
it. and the president are refers, has the department of justice start an investigation against those democratic states. how frightening is that? >> reporter: also new, cuomo's communications director has stepped down and the person who will replace him is a member of the administration that has been a part of the team for nine years, a senior adviser and also at the end of last month larry schwartz, the state vaccine czar, was also among those to resign. molly? molly: never a shortage of news on that story. alex hogan, thank you for following all of it for us. griff: a cyber attack forcing the shutdown of a major fuel pipeline that stretches all the way from the gulf coast up to the northeast. colonial pipeline says it temporarily halted operations after the attack which targeted that pipeline transporting more than 100 million gallons of fuel a day. lucas tomlinson is live washington with the latest
11:04 am
details on this story. >> reporter: hi, griff. senator marsha blackburn said two of america's leading adversaries are the suspects in the cyber attack on the pipeline. >> russia and china are beginning to function in what i would call that great -- i do feel that federal authorities will push forward quickly to get to the bottom of this. >> reporter: a missouri lawmaker and homeland -- on the homeland security committee also indicated the cyber attack came from overseas and should not be treated lightly. >> i think you're going to find, i hope, republicans and democrats alike outraged at the audacity of a foreign actor trying to disrupt our economy. >> reporter: colonial pipeline ships gasoline and jet fuel over 5,000 miles from texas to new york. it's responsible for roughly half the fuel on the east coast.
11:05 am
in a statement, the company said we proactively took certain systems offline to contain the threat, just temporarily halted all pipeline operations and affected some of our i.t. systems. on alerting of the issue, a cybersecurity firm was engaged, and they've already launched an investigation. the reports this was a ransomware attack, malicious actors demand a payment to turn it back on. the attack comes two months after the solarwinds hack linked to russia and the microsoft hack blamed on china. an attack on the tampa water system was blamed on iran. senator ben sasse z released the following statement the: this is a play which will be run again, and we're not adequately prepared. if congress is serious about an infrastructure package, at front and center should be the hardening of these critical sectors rather than progressive wish lists maas causing as infrastructure. analysts say the halt in operations is not expected to have a significant impact on the
11:06 am
fuel markets unless the pipeline remains shut down for several more days. griff? griff: lucas tomlinson in washington, thank you. molly? molly: president biden is doing his best to sound optimistic after a disappointing april jobs report. the economy adding only 266,000 jobs last month. the unemployment rate ticking up to 6.1%. despite the dismal numbers, the president says the recovery is on the right track, but critics say his stimulus package helped to cause the lay wore shortage. labor shortage. mark meredith is live at the white house following this for us. >> reporter: good afternoon. president biden is spending the weekend up at camp david, but next weekend big meetings planned including one with senate republicans all to talk about the president's economic agenda. and as you were just talking about, this latest report from the labor department shows the country still facing tough times. economists had predicted a million jobs added last month,
11:07 am
instead employers adding 266,000. the data shocked so many people, and it meant the unemployment rate ticked up ever so slightly to 6.1%. let's look at those numbers from last month. leisure and hospitality adding 331,000 jobs, a lot of those coming from restaurants, but we saw declines in manufacture as well as temporary jobs. the president insists, though, the economy is still improving. >> this month's job numbers show we're on the right track. we still have a long way to go. we knew this wouldn't be a sprint, it'd be a marathon. quite frankly, we're moving more rapidly than i thought we would. >> reporter: republicans are arguing that enhasn'ted unemployment benefits passed by congress earlier this year are keeping people from getting back into the workplace. right now unemployed americans can get an additional $300 on top of state benefits per week because of what they assumed would be this prolonged pandemic activity. now some want to see benefits
11:08 am
pulled back including the u.s. chamber of commerce. they put out a 125eu789 saying the jobs report makes it clear paying people not to work is dampening what should be a stronger jobs market. president biden reject this premise. he said that people do want to go back to work, and he doesn't think this is having any impact on people. the president's treasury secretary also tried to spin this as a good sign that the economy's till improving and she believes full employment is possible one year from now. only time will tell. molly: thank you for entangling all the back and forth on that. griff? griff: heads up. remnants from china's largest rocket are expected to fall to earth this weekend, possibly late tonight the or tomorrow morning early. the 22-ton booster launched last week, and right now experts are till trying to figure out -- still trying to figure out where pieces may land.
11:09 am
christina coleman is live with more on that. christina, where and when is this thing coming down? [laughter] >> reporter: hi, griff. i wish i could give you an exact time, but i can tell you since the earth is mostly water, the huge chunks of debris are liking to splash down somewhere. the latest forecasts indicate this could happen early tomorrow morning just after midnight somewhere in the south pacific. but again, it is very different to pin -- difficult to pinpoint an exact time and location. [background sounds] >> reporter: now, the giant rocket blasted off on april 29th from south china. it's huge compared to others. it's 100 feet long, 16 feet wide and weighs 22 tons. normally rocket bodies detach and fall on a planned path into the ocean, but this chinese rocket somehow ended up in orbit around the earth, and no one
11:10 am
knows exactly where huge chunks of it will end up. its orbit covers a large portion of the planet, to there is a threat it could hit an inhabitedded area. here's u.s. defense secretary lloyd austin on the matter. >> i think this speaks to the fact that for those of us who operate in the space domain, this is a requirement -- there should be a requirement to operate in a safe and thoughtful mode and make sure that we take those kinds of things into consideration as we plan and conduct operations. >> reporter: finishing aa officials say they're working with norad to track any possible impact this could have on commercial air travel in the form of cancellations and delays. and also federal officials say the u.s. has no plans on shooting this rocket down. griff? griff: all right, christina. hopefully this thing comes down in the water. we should point out to our viewers, you may have just seen a little bit of video from
11:11 am
another story in jerusalem, but christina, as always, a great job covering this story. molly? molly: george floyd's family speaking out after the federal indictment of four former minneapolis police officers on civil rights charges in connection to his death. a grand jury accusing derek chauvin and three other ex-cops with violating floyd's constitutional rights. >> you saw that video. it's self-explanatory. we all know that it was a murder and a torture in broad daylight. we all know that his civil right were violated. but for some reason, with video footage evidence and everything supporting exactly what we saw, we somehow never get these charges. but we are grateful. we're going to keep on fighting for our people. for equality. medicalmolly: derek chauvin was convicted last month on state

charges of murder and manslaughter. his sentencing is set for june 25th, but he's asking for a new trial saying pretrial publicity denied him due process. griff: president biden striking an optimistic tone on the economy despite what some economists are calling one to to have most disappointing job reports ever. so are we really on the right track? that's next. ♪ ♪ balanced nutrition for strength and energy. great tasting ensure with 9 grams of protein, 27 vitamins and minerals, and nutrients to support immune health. if you wanna be a winner then get a turkey footlong 27 vitafrom subway®.rals, that's oven roasted turkey. piled high with crisp veggies. on freshly baked bread! so, let's get out there and get those footlongs. now at subway®, buy one footlong in the app, and get one 50% off. subway®. eat fresh. what's the #1 retinol brand used most by dermatologists?

♪ molly: president biden says the u.s. is still on the right track despite what some economists are calling one of the most disappointing jobs reports ever. the u.s. economy adding just 266,000 jobs last month. now, that is far below the forecast of about a million. the unemployment rate ticked up as well to 6.1%. the president says the country is still digging out of an economic collapse. amid the pandemic. >> today's report just underscores, in my action, how vital the action -- in my view, how vital the actions we're taking are. more and more workers are looking for jobs, and many can't find them. molly: jonah goldberg is the
11:17 am
editor-in-chief of the dispatch and, of course, a fox news contributor as well. thank you so much for joining us on a saturday afternoon to talk about these rather startling, rather stark jobs numbers. you know, there are a lot of shots going boo arms, a lot of businesses are finally getting a chance to get back to work and raise the capacity at students and hotels and -- restaurants, hotels and sporting events, and yet many companies are complaining about finding people to get on the job. when you hear what the president is saying and see what the actual policies are that have been put in place by our lawmakers, what are your thoughts? >> yeah. first, you're right about shots in arms. i got my second one today, so if i start speaking in tongues or passing out, you know why. [laughter] look, all presidents spin, all parties out of power spin. but it should tell you something that if this job report had hit the numbers that everybody --
11:18 am
including people in his own administration -- had expected it to, they would have said this is proof that our plan is working. and when purchase the opposite happened -- pretty much the opposite happened, this is proof that our plan is working. at the very minimum, i think the unemployment insurance explanation explains part of this piece. there's been too much reporting, up including at the dispatch, about how people are having a very difficult time finding workers for a lot of different kind of jobs. but there are other explanations going on here as well, and one of them is the mixed messaging out of this white house about whether or not it's safe the go back to work, safe not to wear a mask if you've been vaccinated or if other people have been vaccinated. also the mixed messaging and mixed policies about opening up schools. and you have this, you have one side of the white house saying that this pandemic looks like it's going to be here forever and we to be terrified of it --d we have to be tearfied of it
11:19 am
even if you're vaccinated, and the other side saying our economic policies are firing on all cylinders and they don't. i think it's a political problem in terms of confidence in the administration. molly: you hit on a opportunity of points there. the fear of covid, if you're someone that would ordinarily work at a restaurant, you can't really blame people for staying home for the summer getting the additional $300 money, the recent stimulus money. if you've got childcare issues as well, you know, there's that to look at as people head into the summer. is so people are looking at their pocketbooks, do i go back to work in an environment they might find risky or stay home with my children over the summer. i mean, you can hardly blame people from making these kinds of decisions. they're making decisions that are financial as well as health-related. the president has tried to address this, and as you mentioned, basically this is a messaging effort. to take one last listen to
11:20 am
something else that the president said. oh. all right, sorry about that. we don't have that, but what he talked about was the underscoring, essentially, how vital the actions are that they're taking. he's essentially pointing to brighter days, acknowledging they're not here yet. but should one of the things with these numbers be a message to the administration that perhaps a different tack should be taken, something should change? is there something that this administration, lawmakers can do to improve things over the course of the summer? >> look, i think so. look, i think we can all be generous and say this is a difficult thing coming out of a pandemic. basically, no one in living memory has gone through this. it's just one jobs report. jobs reports often aren't that predictive. that's pall fine. but there's -- that's all fine. but there's a certain amount of arrogance from this administration that they think everybody that doesn't agree with them isn't following the
11:21 am
science. and you would like to think when this jobs report came into the white house, at least a few people said, oh, my gosh, maybe we need to rethink some of our assumptions. and one of the things that a lot of people don't have memories of anymore is inflation. the idea of if there is inflation coming down the pike, the idea of pouring more gas leap on the tour rath -- gasoline on the fire rather than trying to put it out seems to me problem mat i. that's what i'm talking about in terms of confidence in this administration. so far they've underpromised and overdelivered very deliberately, very transparently, and they've gone off that in terms of promising all these jobs and the economy coming back, and they just simply got it wrong, and they should adjust. molly:ing we shall see if, oh, my gosh, happens again over the summer and, as you mentioned, if we'll see adjustments from there. jonah goldberg, thank you so
11:22 am
much for joining us. we appreciate it. >> good to be here, thank you. griff by a night of heavy fighting in jerusalem, people gathered for prayer. israeli police using rubber bullets and stun grenades to break up crowds of palestinians who were throwing rocks and other objects. all this amid i high tensions over the threatened eviction of palestinians living in the west bank. trey yingst is live in jerusalem where it's a little after 9 p.m. there. trey. >> reporter: griff, good afternoon. thousands of palestinians right now are headed to thes mosque to pray tonight following those clashes last night that, according to the press, left 200 people injured, 88 hospitalized. i want to hoe you the scene here -- show you the scene in one of the holiest sites in islam on the holiest night of ramadan. you have palestinians coming from all over the region to pray here, and last night was nothing
11:23 am
short of chaos. we saw palestinians clashing with israeli security forces. i want to show you some of this video. the israeli police are being criticized today for firing stun grenades and tear gas canisters into a medical clinic and also into the mosque compound itself. this all comes amid ongoing tension related to ramadan but also related to a neighborhood where palestinians are currently living and to have an obscure israeli law that's trying to have them forcefully removed from therapy homes. so the -- their homes. amid calls for calm from not only the united states, but also the european union is whether or not factions are going to get involved in this unrest. i spoke today with a senior hamas official inside gaza who described the situation to me as very serious and explosive. he made an interesting point saying that from the perspective of the palestinians, these
11:24 am
clashes taking place outside ofs mosque in the old city of jerusalem are taking a conflict that's historically focused on land, and it's making it a conflict about religion. and that official inside gaza called that a very dangerous gamble. griff? fluff griff trey yingst, stay safe. hive for us on the ground in jerusalem. trey, thank you. molly? many. molly: the vice president still has yet to visit the southern border, but the homeland security secretary did, just did that. so how much has really changed after weeks of chaos? a reality check on the crisis next. but first, here's maria bartiromo with a look at what's ahead on "sunday morning futures" tomorrow. maria: this weekend "sunday morning futures" we connect the dots from joe biden's open borders to your neighborhood. the incredible amount of illicit narcotics flooding into america due to the open border policy sunday on fox news, 10 a.m. live, "sunday morning futures." ♪

molly: the crisis at the southern bordr showing no signs of letting up as migrants keep trying to cross into the u.s. drugs and smuggling remain constant problems for law enforcement. meantime, homeland security secretary mayorkas visiting a facility that remains a foc point in the crisis as vice president harris holds a virtual meeting with mexico's president. bill melugin is live near the border in del rio, texas, with more. >> reporter: molly, good afternoon. yesterday secretary mayorkas said that the border is closed. well, that's certainly not what we're seeing on the ground here, because this is an area that's become really a hot spot in the last few weeks. just to put that into perspective, border patrol telling us they're apprehending about 740 migrants every single day, and we've seen that activity happening all day long
11:30 am
so far. if we can pull up this video we shot about an hour and a half ago, this was right behind us. this was a group of 26 venezuelans who got into the rio while the water level was low, and they went for it. they came across the border and presented themselves here to local sheriff's deputies claiming asylum, every single one of them said they were from venezuela. had a chance to talk to one young man, he's headed for the new york/new jersey area, he's a photographer. he's here, he's been critical of the government back in venezuela. he fears his family would be targeted or killed. he left there on may 1st, that's why he came here, it was pretty remarkable to see. and the local sheriff's department here, they're the ones that had to process them because border patrol is overwhelmed elsewhere. this was a little bit earlier in the day, this was other my grant we found, these were cubans who represent presented themselves to local law enforcement. the local sheriff's deputies, they took custody of these
11:31 am
cubans after they came across the border. they had to wait two hours for border patrol to arrive because, again, they're stretched so thin. i talked to the father, there was a family unit from cuba, a dad, mom and 6-year-old girl. the dadded told me he's headed towards the miami area, another group said a towards the kansas city area. we've been seeing activity all day long, and we had a chance to talk to u.s. representative tony gonzalez about what's going on, and he expressed sympathy for what these local sheriffs' deputies have to deal with, take a listen to what he had to say. >> these sheriffs are the ones doing a lot of the heavy lifting. and guess what? they have very small forces, they have very limited resources. >> reporter: and some pretty remarkable numbers here just in the delery yo sector today we've been told that 219 groups of people have already been ap e helped. not 219 people, 219 groups of
11:32 am
people. the water starting to get higher, we're not seeing as many crossing right now. it can get dangerous. they've already had seven drownings here in past weeks. back to you guys. molly: bill melugin, tremendous reporting. you've been with us for a couple of weeks, thank you for that intimate look of what you're seeing. appreciate the reporting. griff, to you. griff: molly, thanks. secretary mayorkas' visit to the facility in donna, texas, which has been a focal point. mayorkas praising the biden add mrs. for reducing the number of children saying they're all in the care of the d. of health and human services, but he says much work remains to be done as hundreds of kids keep streaming across the borderer day. >> -- border every day. >> the challenge is not entirely behind us, though we have accomplished a great deal. and we must maintain the capacity to deal with and address the dynamism so we do
11:33 am
not experience to the best of our abilities what we experienced at the end of march and the beginning of april. griff: joining us now for more, former dhs adviser charles marina. charles, thank you for taking time. mayorkas goes down to donna, ground zero for the crisis, talks about getting the kids out of the border patrol facilities, but yet you had a democrat congressman, henry cuellar, saying it's a bit of a shell game. all they're really doing is moving the kids to the hhs care shelters which are, essentially, the custody of the u.s. government. now, if you look at the number of the most recent dhs' daily unaccompanied child report, you will see here 21,848 children are currently in hhs care shelters. charles, that number is more than 100% of -- there it is
11:34 am
right there, you see it. and we're still in uncharted territory in terms of the number of kids crossing. >> yeah. listen, i mean, simply put, this remains a national security disaster for the administration and, unfortunately, for the country. you know, listen, it's great to see that children aren't remaining in cbp custody longer than the law requires, 72 hours. but it is a shell game. i've used those exact words previously myself. they are simply moving children out of cbp custody and putting them over to health if human services. and this is coming at a great cost to the country. not only in terms of national security, but also monetary wise. hotel rooms, expanded temporary facilities, we're talking about clothing and food and health care. the costs go on and on. and, or you know, for the administration to portray, one, that the situation is getting better and closer to being under control is disingenuous and, finally, they should just
11:35 am
recognize that their lack of strategy and bad policies have caused this in the nurse place. griff dprif and also many critics point to the fact that president trump's wall was not finished. if you go back to our hot of the fox flight drone team there, what you're looking at in rgv right there is one of the very last sections of trump wall construction and specifically the rgv, the heaviest trafficked of any lawyer. and you can see in the wider -- of any area. and you can see in the wider shot that the fence just stops. they just stopped it. would you advise as a former dhs adviser that given now the situation we're in now, that they should look at possibly finishing some sections of the wall? clearly in a place like this in the r or gv. >> -- rgv. >> absolutely. you need a layered approach to security on the southwest border and any other location you're
11:36 am
trying to secure, for that matter. you need physical barriers, technology, manpower, local, state and federal cooperation. you need all of these things for security to be effective. and the fact that they haven't done this is what's leading to getaways. remember, we only know the migrants that are being encountered. we don't know the ones that are getting away. we know the cartels are heavily involved. they're making a lot of money through human trafficking, through drug trafficking, weapons trafficking, etc. so essentially, by not completing the wall, griff, you're giving these cartels, these criminal organizations free rein to coordinate and disrupt our country. gruff griff and just with about ten seconds left, charles, we heard in bill's report it's venezuelans and cubans he's seeing, is that a concern of yours from a national security standpoint? >> yeah, it's a huge concern. we need to keep our eyes wide
11:37 am
open on in that migrants can come from all parts of the world. griff: charles marino, thank you for joining us and taking time. molly? molly: tens of thousands of baseball fans are turning out as the atlanta braves played a home game at 100 percent seating capacity for the first time in more than a year. charles watson is live in atlanta. charles. >> reporter: with hi, or molly. the atlanta braves are expecting large crowds here at truist park again, and just to give you a bit of perspective, i checked a few moments ago, and there are only standing room tickets left for today's game which, of course, will be opened at full capacity. now, they certainly saw huge numbers out here yesterday as nearly 40 to ,000 fans, excited fans, rather, packed the ballpark for the first time in more than a year and a half. we spoke to fans both big and small who tell us they're not only excited to watch a braves game with a few thousand of
11:38 am
their closest friends, but they're also excited for all the good food. >> i'm glad i get to be here, and my favorite is cotton candy. >> we're just a baseball family. we love baseball. we even watch it on tv. >> reporter: and, look, while the fans enjoy the games and food this weekend, they'll also have the opportunity to get vaccinated. in an effort to get more georgians vaccinated, the braves in partnership with emo to ry health -- emery are offering the opportunity to get the johnson & johnson vaccine and pfizer for fans 16 and older. >> i think it's great. i don't think anyone should be forced to get a vaccine, but if they're offering it here and you've been wanting to get one, absolutely. go get one. >> reporter: and, molly, to sweeten the pot even more, the braves are offering fans who to get vax shots two free
11:39 am
incompetent tickets to a -- two free tickets to a future game. molly? molly: i've already gotten my second dose, but i would have gladly taken some baseball and a hot dog with it. i missed my chance. charles, once again, you've got one of the best seats in the house. great talking with you. >> reporter: i can't complain. griff: moll ily, those kids were cute. meanwhile, g7 nations slamming russia and china as bullies and human rights a abusers, but can they put muscle behind that? plus, a top general warning china is setting up bases in the atlantic as well as the pacific. general jack keane weighs in next. ♪ ♪

desire to globally replace the united states and do away with the international order as we know it. and russia feels much the same. you know, putin has never really recover from the collapse of the soviet union, molly. and what he really wants is his own sphere of influence over the former soviet union states. the problem is many of them are now in nato, but he still intimidates them, he still cokearses them, particularly the baltic statements and poland, and he's also certainly harassing and became dating non-nato cups like georgia -- countries like georgia, belarus and ukraine as you mentioned in the introduction. so the fact that allies are coming together and recognizing this and they're willing to speak out together and put together, i would hope, in the future plans to coordinate to the response in terms of common policies that push back on these two very aggressive, ambitious countries that are not in the interest of the post-world war
11:47 am
ii international order which was put together by these like-minded nations -- not only these that are in the g7, but others like them -- who wanted to prevent global conflict. that's what the international order's about post-world war ii. so it's rhetoric now, but it's a good thing. and we'll see. it remains to be seen. biden's administration is finishing a renew next month -- review next month, molly, on china. and i'm hoping out of that comes some pretty comprehensive policies that they're attempting to develop in concert with our allies to deal with it. and we'll see what happens. molly: when it comes to china, we hear a lot about currency manipulation, a lot about their incredible abuse of the uyghurs and tibet and democracy and hong kong being sty stifled, but something we don't hear quite as much about is chai that's ooh out-- china's outreach to africa. beijing has a plan to build a large navy part on africa's west
11:48 am
coast, is the plan, and he's quoted as saying they're looking for a place where they can rearm and repair warships. that becomes militarily useful. port projects, economic endeavors, infrastructure and their agreements will lead to greater access in the future. they are hedging their bets and making big bets on africa. this all about military gain, economic gain? what does this mean, this focus on africa? >> yeah. well, it's bigger than that, but strategically it's geopolitical influence using economic dependency to gain that kind of influence. this is the model they use all l around the world. and, yes, military activity. and they have been quite involved in africa for over ten years years. they're making significant progress there at the expense of the united states and other like-minded democracies. why? because they bring a lot of resources to the table in assisting these merging nations that have huge economic
11:49 am
challenges in front of them. and we have got to catch up to this. the military thing that general townsend's talking about, significant officer who i've known since he was a young captain in his 20, he's raising an alarm here because china wants to set up bases on the eastern side of africa that'll give them access to the atlantic. they already have a base on the northwest part of africa in jabuti, and they've had that for a couple of years. remember, china is interested in being a global power. and if you're going to be a global power, you have to have military bases from where you can project with power to and project power from that base in that regional area. and china is all about doing that. and africa is one of their central objectives. molly: and this is one more thing to watch as they try to brand their empire. general jack keane, thank you very much for your insight.
