3:02 am
steve: brian, cleveland rocks, cleveland rocks. steve: what's the next line after that? steve: i have no idea. drew kerry call us we would like to know the best line. brian: who went on to bigger and better things. surprise tomorrow. steve: if the praise is right. busy three hours. this is the number one thing my family has been talking about. ainsley: pipeline? steve: my sisters were talking about you have got to go and fill up your car. americans are feeling the pressure at the gas pump after that cyberattack on a major american pipeline. ainsley: that's right. stations throughout the south are running out of gas now. drivers are lining up for blocks. look at that. brian: mark meredith live in washington as the fuel company scrambles to return service. mark, what's the latest? >> brian, ainsley and steve. good morning to you guys. first the ransomware attack as you were showing sending shock waves throughout the east coast. prices at the pump will keep rising for millions of americans in days ahead.
3:03 am
eastern european hacker group nope as darkside is being known for the breach. the attack started last friday. colonial said it took its own operations offline out of an abundance of caution. still don't know when things will get back to normal. even the company's website down this morning pipeline stretches more than 5,000 miles. delivering more than half of the east coast fuel. the major airports in the south also rely on it for jet fuel delivery. american airlines adding some fuel stops and long haul flights out of charlotte, douglas. this as north carolina harass declared a state of emergency. the white house gave us a new statement overnight saying we are monitoring supply shortages in part of the southeast and evaluating every action the administration can take to mitigate the impact as much as possible. on monday, president biden weighed in insisting is he getting constant updates about what going on. he says so far no evidence that russia itself is involved. lawmakers though tell fox news that can't be the case. >> no cyber gang in russia could
3:04 am
conduct this kind of attack against american piece of critical infrastructure without the tacet or explicit knowledge of vladimir putin's government. >> hoped to have most of the operations back up and running by the end of the week. there is no guarantees here. the company is yet to say if it has or if it will pay the ransom to get systems back online. a lot of people curious what this will mean for gas prices. i'm curious about uber to get over to the white house now. back to you. steve: mark meredith live in d.c. if you can get an uber there are so many people reaching out to us i used to be able to get uber. five minutes now takes me 20 minutes and the price has doubled. ainsley: if you can get one depend okay your area. steve: these are two per story. one how hard it is to find anybody to go work and the other is because of this attack on our critical infrastructure that apparently was quite vulnerable the prices are going to be going up to the highest perhaps we have seen since 2014. ainsley: i was reaching
3:05 am
darkside. they first emerged in 2020. they are known for their professional operations and these large ransoms. so they target these big companies that have a lot of money that can pay these ransoms. they have targeted enterprise rental cars, canadian real estate firm. office depot subsidiary, and they have a phone number. they even have a help desk to facilitate the negotiations. if you are a victim of this, you can call the help desk and then arrange payment for these rance symptoms. steve: what a handy criminal operation. brian: pretty devastating to the east coast and north dakota primarily atlanta is already feeling it the question is when will it get back union line. ainsley: they provide all the gasoline for the atlanta airport there. brian: you wonder, first off, what the role the federal government has in protecting things that have soible things to do with our national security this. is something both sides can get together on and say, wait a second. i know you are an independent company. there should be some cyber
3:06 am
thresholds. we he invented the internet. how do we not know how to protect the internet? here is the former energy secretary rick perry. >> 45% of the gasoline going to the eastern part of the united states going through that pipeline. this is a national security issue. i'm pretty sure the clation, bush administration, the obama administration, all worked to get america to be independent of other countries of oil and gas and we did that under the trump administration. we not only became independent, we became dominant and this administration want to take that away, stop building pipeline. well, if there was ever a wake-up call hey, president biden, maybe we should build more pipelines instead of shutting them down, this was it today with the colonial pipeline. this is insanity. brian: insanity. no way, even though the darkside, a cyber group operating inside russia. i don't know if you have noticed
3:07 am
people outside who operate in russia that vladimir putin doesn't approve, he kills them. okay? we watched in chechnya and it sigh beeria, whatever brutal prison he puts together. there is no way this operation comes off jeopardize u.s.-russia relations if vladimir putin doesn't green light it for president biden to soft pedal the fact that this isn't a russia led investigation is beyond -- it's unacceptable. it's not logical. ainsley: how is this going to affect your wallet. gas prices could go up 3 to 7 cents per gallon. motorists in atlanta had to go to three different was stations to find gas. they were panicking because they thought their car was going to stop. steve: comes down to when you look at those images on the tv right now. what do you see? rick perry sees a national crisis of our fuel supply that would require more pipeline. joe biden is the last person on earth who is going to say you
3:08 am
know what? we need more pipelines because he did on his first day. brian: more overarching thing on cyber security rather than energy. steve: that's what i was about to say. this is such an important part of our critical infrastructure. perhaps these pipeline companies, i'm not saying they need to be, you know, coordinated by the federal government, but they perhaps should have some sort of pentagon grade encryption and fire walls and things like that they so this can never happen again. how is it that other countries can reach from perhaps russia into our internet and do what they did? you would think that our federal government would have a way to stop it. i'm sure they do why don't they. they put ransomware from the solar winds project in there pipe bombs. at any point they could pull the trigger and light the fuse.
3:09 am
maybe the next thing is the hoover dam and they are going to ren grade group, not a state sponsored group has to be reined in and says really has nothing to do with it no one is buying it. ainsley: talking about infrastructure tomorrow and thursday. this is a topic they need to discuss because this is infrastructure. they're also talking about, everyone in america is talking about the covid relief. because many of you are getting checks. and economists have crumplegd the numbers. if you make $32,000 before covid, you can earn more or just as much in these benefits that they are giving you. states are giving you money and then the federal government is giving you $300 plus that $1,400 stimulus check. steve: when you combine the two, that is why small businesses who have been featured on this program for the last couple of months, are having so much trouble finding people to work in restaurants or drive cars or be couriers or do anything. however, the president does not like that particular narrative because that flies in the face
3:10 am
of what is he trying to say. is he try trying to say we have to give all these people this money because of the pandemic. the president was in the east room yesterday talking about how ainsley was just citing bank of america analysis about if you make $32,000 before the pandemic then you would actually make more money by staying at home. ainsley: which is maybe why we can't find an uber. steve: contactually. the president doesn't listen to bank of america. he is listening to economists at the white house who say that there's nothing to that. watch. here's the president. >> i know there has been a lot of discussion since friday, since friday's report, that people are being paid to stay home rather than go to work. well, we don't see much evidence of that they lost their jobs to the virus. and to a government that bungled its response to the crisis and failed to protect them. and for many of those folks, unemployment benefits are a
3:11 am
lifeline. no one should be allowed to game the system. it let's not take our eye off the ball. we are going to make it clear that anyone collecting unemployment was offered a suitable job, must take the job or lose their unemployment benefits. brian: what is a suitable job, number one, number two, that's always been the rule. don't pretend like you are just putting that on the books. number three, did anyone give him the copy ahead of time. never seen someone struggle that was on the schedule all day. was one of his worst performances in most disingenuous reads. meanwhile, when you look at arizona, montana mississippi, arkansas, and south carolina, they have one thing in common. they are all saying keep your supplemental unemployment insurance. it's hurting our local economy. we're sending it back. case in point, south carolina's governor henry mcmaster, he talked about what went into that decision with tucker yesterday. >> this is about as close to
3:12 am
socialism as anything i have seen. the federal government is just taking over. just throwing money at people. i don't know how we can spend all of this. we have got help wanted signs up everywhere. we get calls and letters and texts from people from all sorts of businesses all across the state. they're looking for people to work. and the people just won't come to work because they are getting as much money or more in some cases by staying home. it's a counter productive policy i'm afraid what the biden administration is doing is they are telling everybody that the virus is still rampant and we are still in great danger so everybody has got to stay home. brian: yale did a study saying expanding unemployment benefits did not dissuade people from seeking work because they went to yale they must know. julie conte a government affairs director says it is uninformed and cruel to send back this money. we'll see. because the unemployment numbers will clearly be reflected state to state. ainsley: the president is blaming the lack of the vaccine access, which i haven't found to
3:13 am
be true in our state. brian: get it anywhere. anywhere. ainsley: he is blaming school closures, child care leads and. brian: school closures? whose fault is it about schools being closed. ainsley: i know. acceptable reasons that you could turn down a job because school is closed or place of work is not in compliance with health requirements. steve or if you -- and we heard from one of the members of the cabinet the other day, or if you are just afraid. i mean. ainsley: right, fear. steve hopefully those will be some of the things there are a lot of people watching right now who probably are getting that $300 supplemental per week and wondering, you know, is the president talking about me gaming the system? how will i lose it? at this point, even though those things that ainsley cited were in a white paper that the white house sent out to employers and others on monday, to explain how people might be gaming the system. there is no evidence that
3:14 am
anybody has been denied the 300 bucks because they couldn't find child care. ainsley: you know, the money is going to continue until at least we know of, september 6th. people aren't going to start applying for jobs the end of august, middle of august. and then if the unemployment benefits are extended past that which joe biden has mentioned possibly, then who is going go back to work. steve: by that point they may actually have passed part of his care infrastructure where there is hundreds of billions of dollars in the system for child care and things like that, which the administration has been making very clear that a lot of people are not going to work because they cannot find somebody to take care of their kids. brian: 14 minutes after the hour. let's talk about education. yesterday martha mccallum had a great interview with randi weingarten the head of the second biggest teachers union in the country where she was asked to explain why union members can't go back to school and teach but supermarket workers can, firefighters and cops can and nonunionized teachers in
3:15 am
places like florida, tennessee, texas have been going full time. long island another example. she focused also on the curriculum. what's with the 161 project? full of holes printed by a newspaper, somehow suddenly part of a curriculum and incentives are put in for schools if you want federal grant money you better put critical race theory in and base it on 1619 not 1776. so she was asked about 161 which by the way is the first time slaves were seen on this continent but they were on every continent on the world you are on right now. our country started in 1776, 19161. she was asked this. listen. >> i believe we should teach history and from everything i can see and understand from the data i see, 1619 was the year that the first slaves boat came from africa to the united
3:16 am
states. so, that's a point in history that i think we should be teaching. ainsley: do you think it's wrong to suggest to children if they are white they belong to owe protests sore glass they are black they belong to a victim class. do you have a problem with that. >> i think we should be lyfting up all ethnicity. i don't think we should say one is an oppressor class and one is non-oppressor class. i'm a big believer in celebrating diversity and actually looking at and helping look at people's lived experience. brian: if you believe in 1619. you believe the revolution was fought to keep slavery, which is absolutely not true. huge fact checkers went into that if the foundation of 1619 is wrong, why teach it? of course it's taught. it's taught in social studies since i believe the turn of the previous century. ainsley: martha said that she said i agree, yes, first, that was the first boat. slaves did come here. that's not why the revolution was started.
3:17 am
brian: that's what they believe. ainsley: preserve slavery. what you are teach something false inaccurate. it's just not factual and no evidence that the clonists were motivated by that martha said that she pushed back on it and then the head of the union started talking about the election. martha said we are not here to talk about the election. yes, joe biden is our president. joe biden won in 2020 she said. we're not talking about that. we're talking about critical race theory. should it or should it not be taught in our classes. steve: martha asked some great questions and leader of the union dodged. ainsley: it was a great debate. steve: she had great questions and answers not so much. a little open-ended she did dodge. brian: most under told story the role that the union has and keeping schools closed. president biden and his staff kept mum. on the other hand the trump administration criticize whatever you want. did anyone think donald trump didn't want schools open and willing to harangue those who kept them closed nobody.
3:18 am
ainsley: martha pressed how much they were giving democratic candidates. brian: $40 million. steve: that's what happens when you miss one of the shows on the channels you miss a lot. anyway, can you see martha every afternoon. can you see jillly mele do the news right now from the mezzanine level. jillian: good morning. let's begin now with a fox news alert. a california police officer died after being shot in the line of duty. a second officer now recovering in the hospital. the exchange of gunfire happening while officers were serving a search warrant at an apartment complex last night in san lewis. the city manager releasing a statement quote this is a tragedy beyond measure for all those who serve and care about our community. fellow officers were seen lining the street for procession overnight. another fox news alert. a gunman opens fire at russia school killing seven students and teacher. the shooting happening early this morning in a city east of moscow. officials say a 19-year-old has been arrested. right now they believe he is the

3:20 am
the jaguars. ainsley: i hope he makes it a great guy. we are pulling for him. brian: all great guys belong on the jaguars. ainsley: such incentive. all the fans love the good guy. steve just following another dream. jillian: ian, thank you very much. brian: great dreams. ainsley: does so much for other people. brian: at least let him play on the jaguars former high school coach. tom homan says the white house knows how to stop this surgeon but will they even address it. he will join us next. and, police officers deliver mother's day flowers? james brown was there delivery driver arrested for a dui. that story come up. ♪ i feel good ♪ i knew that i would now ♪ so good ♪ so good ♪ at this got you

brian: absolutely. the parent of three freshman at the university of amherst saying their daughters lost out on television and housing next year all over this picture posted online showing the students maskless at off campus party. they are hoping to avoid filing a class action lawsuit against the school after suspended the students for the spring semester refused to refund their $16,000 tuition. they couldn't even remote learn. those parents join us now. kristin, betsy, r.j. and teresa. kristin, let's start with you. >> what i thought of the picture. brian: yes. >> i thought the picture was cute. it got them thrown out of the school. brian: just not having a mask. >> they went to gathering off campus on saturday. they took a picture. and another student posted it screen shot of that picture instagram and sent it to the administration.
3:36 am
so that picture virtually got them kicked out of school. brian: betsy, when that picture popped up and the ramifications began to come in, what are your thoughts? >> well, first of all, thank you for having us. brian: no problem. >> and helping us to share our story. this is obviously devastated three families. but, for us, you know, we live in maryland, my daughter and i. this picture popped up and the university was swift and fierce in their actions. they gave my daughter rest than nine hours to move off campus. essentially making her homeless 500 miles from home with no recourse. they didn't help her. they didn't ask her if she had a place to go. they didn't ask her if she had the ability to fend for herself. this has just been a terrible, terrible injustice. i just don't feel the punishment fits the crime. brian: no kidding. of course it doesn't. r.j. and theresa from your perspective, i know there are rules on campus. but my goodness we are all
3:37 am
making this up as we go along. some things we have been told in the past are totally wrong. now you talk about march, kids on campus in college. shouldn't be there be some play in these rules? >> i don't think they were very career in their expectations of the students. before the weekend when this event happened. they warned, they said, you know, make sure you don't gather and make sure you don't do this the monday following the gathering, all of a sudden now anybody who -- anybody who was involved in any event is going to be suspended. you know, to me, if you really don't want something to happen maybe you let them know what the expectation is before, before, you know, something could happen. i don't know. >> good morning, brian, thanks for having us. there was absolutely no precedent set from a suspension perspective. our take is if they say they did something wrong, okay, they did something wrong, the punishment is endured for the last two months has been more than enough. and the suspension is draconian.
3:38 am
it's complete overkill. so, we just want what's right for the kids. the university should allow them to log back into their portals so they can finish the spring semester. brian: of course. >> get their credits for the spring semester. these kids have put in over 300 hours each of schooling. they are all great students, honor students. these are the type of students that u mass should want at their campus. and they need to do the right thing to start making this right. the kids have paid their restitution, paid their dues, let them back in to get their credits and move on from there. brian: you didn't get in a bar fight. you are not drinking and driving. you took pictures arm in arm in a mask in college. who hasn't done that at 18, 19, nobody. i just want to read you what the umass am heers tried to explain this statement: will kristin, w

4:05 am
caution. not clear when things will get back to normal. the company's website down this morning. the pipeline stretches more than 5,000 miles as you see on that map, delivering nearly half of the east coast its fuel. major airports in the south also rely on it for jet fuel delivery to places like nashville, raleigh, durham as well as charlotte, douglas. we have seen american airlines adding fuel stops on long haul flights out of charlotte, douglas. north carolina also declaring a state of emergency. we did get a new statement from the white house overnight, assuming they were seeing what was going on in the carolinas. said we are monitoring supply shortages in part of the southeast and are evaluating every action the administration can take to mitigate the impact as much as possible. president biden also spoke about this on monday afternoon afternoon. he said he was getting constant updates what was going on. that's so far no evidence that russia was involved. lawmakers up on the hill say that can't be the case. >> no cyber gang in russia could conduct the kind of attack

consequences. we're just out to get money they said. brian: and give it to the poor. steve: they do it's kind of a robinhood thing they give some to charity. if we could put that map back up that shows the actual pipeline. what's interesting about it all originates down in texas. down in tension, you know, that's where the pipeline starts because that's where the refiners are. there is a big story this morning that apparently gas companies and refiners like marathon, valero and phillips 66 are scrambling to find storage because all the oil tanks down in texas are full. so what they are doing is they are referring to it as kind of a smash and grab on oil tankers. and so, they are looking for oil tankers all over the world to be able to park it right there near houston so they can store the oil until they are able to pump it to all of us. ainsley: interesting. they transport 100 million gallons a day. that goes to the airport in atlanta, most of you have flown
4:08 am
through there before. steve: tanks here. ainsley: that's right. 90 u.s. military installations. 2 oil refineries. i was reading about the darkside known for large ransom requests and even have a phone number and they have this help desk to facilitate the negotiations. steve: those people online in north carolina should call them and hey, i'm in the line, do you mind helping me with this. ainsley: they have targeted enterprise rental cars, some canadian real estate firm. office depots, subsidiary. these are big attacks and they are asking for large sums of money. brian: here is the things. should the federal government hire the best cyber people possible where weather they have a contract amount or not and work with these companies that have national security implications like we are seeing right now with these private pipelines? and that -- the answer has to be yes. not necessarily use the american cyber workers and government. maybe get the best and private city, bring them in, we invented the internet. we started this whole mess.
4:09 am
now at least we have to learn to protect the internet. don't tell me you are independent. we have to watch your back because now we are all affected at least in 17 states. now let's fast forward to another area that needs a lot of help, that's our border. unless, of course, you ask the department of homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas he says the southern border no problem. it i closed it. >> the border remains closed. we inherited a system that had been torn down and dismantled. and i said at the time in late march that we have a plan to address the challenge of the unaccompanied children who were apprehended along the border. this is what we do. we do the difficult work and we know how to do it. we are going to be building legal pathways so individual parents do not feel compelled to
4:10 am
place their children in the hands of the exploiting smuggling organizations. brian: what is he saying? i will make sure the parents be can come with the kids and i'm going to make sure 23,000 kids get to stay here and. ainsley: he said the border was closed. brian: looks like it's closed. is the wall going to hit them yet? steve: friday he said it's closed and these are images that fox news took yesterday and our reporter bill melugin down there where clearly it is not closed. and it is the lowest time of the river day right there on the rio grande, local officials say this happens every day. and what bill reported last night during the prime time hours was he said that, you know, he had talked to a couple of the larger groups in 40 and 50 people. what countries were they from? they were from venezuela. and they were from cuba. and so clearly they would probably make some sort of refugee claim. but all of them, it seemed like, had kids. why would they have kids?
4:11 am
because the biden administration has a rule if you have a child, the child automatically is going to be admitted to the united states. and sometimes and we think it's often, often a whole family gets to go. brian: you don't separate them. ains aping bill said this is the third day in a row he has seen big groups of migrants come through. migrants with their young kids. steve: look at that. that's an invasion. ainsley: what about covid tests? there is no check point. brian: by the way, we have a rule on the books that says during the pandemic have you got to be turned right around. shut the gate. no. it's wide open because donald trump had the policy in place, what i think is the most maddening is when he says we inherited a broken system. it was not broken. you insisted on breaking it and then you are shocked that this is happening and then deny it's taking place, then put the vice president in charge and she refuses to go to the border. going to the problem countries eventually. she has a visit set up for june, two zoom calls.
4:12 am
this is the worst showing of leadership that i can remember in my lifetime. if i was joe biden, i'm incensed that i asked the vice president to do something and she could not have been more indifferent to actually doing it to me, for him to sit up there and say we do the hard things, the tough things, as if these john wayne at the border and what makes it worse is that tom homan insisted he worked with mayorkas when he was deputy. he knows how to shut down this border. and he is pretending like he is doing it he says the success will take time. ainsley: here is what tom homan had to say. >> this is unbelievable where we are at as a nation. but,like, they have been invited, right? joe biden made promises. they won't be deported. they won't be detained. they will get free healthcare. is he going to shut down ice. these people were invite and they are coming. they are getting really good at releasing people as quick as possible so it doesn't seem to be overcrowding at the border patrol facilities. meanwhile it will ignoring the
4:13 am
border and coming across every day. actions speak louder than their words. get to the united states, get released. with no court date. this is open borders agenda. this is open borders and this is what the biden administration meant this. is by design. this isn't by accident. steve: talking to tom and said remember the olden days when the border patrol agents would stand on one side of the rio grande and the migrants would be come across the riff and they go no, stop. turn around. and tom said yeah, absolutely. when he was a border patrol agent, they used to do that fast forward to now, given the fact that the border is closed, and have you got the agents actually bringing people in. if somebody said hey, stop, turf around, they would probably get fired. will. ainsley: the reporter said that group was from venezuela. he was talking to them 50% of the group said they had family here or someone that he talked to said about 50%. steve: have a place to go.
4:14 am
brian: they are freeing socialism. little do they know they are coming to it they t. seems. ainsley: right. brian: you feel bad for these people, a system to getting here. i feel bad for the other people that have been waiting two and a half, three years in order to get into our country the right way. steve: all right. meanwhile, let's talk about our other top stories and this is covid and the vaccines and everything yesterday pfizer got the green light where children now can get it. i think 12 to 17, something like that. because there is a lot of stockpile you could pretty much get it right. >> now the big question is will parents do that we will take to you massachusetts, amherst where u mass at amherst, it's a case of uneven punishment. when the u mass hockey team won the national national championship, there was celebration and nobody was wearing masks. fast forward, nobody got in trouble fast forward three young
4:15 am
freshmen were posing together right there outdoors no masks at u mass, off campus, as it turns out, they were suspended. they were studying remotely. last week cut off from virtual learning and now they won't be able to take their finals and their year is shot. ainsley: how is the school explaining this? why would these girls not be able to finish their courses this semester. brian: parents joined us a while ago. outraged. not mad at them. off campus you post for a picture with your friends 19 years old at college when you know this virus is not a problem with kids that age add that to it we have already had it for a year. we understand the risk. they just put -- took their mask down and took a picture arm in arm. ainsley: did someone screen shot it and send it to the administrator. brian: listen to what the parents said. listen.
4:16 am
>> >> at this point i don't know what to do how to help these girls anymore. i'm at a loss. all we want them to do is take their exams and finish their college path and they are just -- the school has been absolutely showed no compassion to us. >> the university was swift and fierce in their action. they gave my daughter rest than 9 hours to move off campus. essentially making her homeless 500 miles from home. this has just been a terrible, terrible injustice and i just don't feet punishment fits the crime. >> i don't think that they were very clear in their expectations for the students. >> punishment endured the last two months is suspension da krohnian. pay their restitution, pay their dues let them move in and get their credits and move on from there. ainsley: you brought up a good point. you said this wasn't a keg party and underaged drinking. this wasn't a bar fight.
4:17 am
they did not wear their mask off campus. brian: for a picture. brian: a lot of people take their mask off while taking a picture i want to remember this moment. ainsley: goes through social media page a lot of kids might not wear them. may not be right but you don't suspend them. steve: u mass did and they said this is why expectations regarding student's responsibility to follow low public health protocols unclear about that and consequences for failing to do so were clearly communicated to the students before and throughout the spring semester and students were updated regularly as conditions change. so it's unclear what the public health protocols were because the cdc and, of course, the governor in the great state, -- the commonwealth of massachusetts, changed the mask guideline and said fully vaccinated people obviously can gather outside without masks. so, and we don't know the vaccination status of the young women. brian: i don't think they were.
4:18 am
steve: nonetheless, in the commonwealth of massachusetts, you don't have to wear a mask outside and they weren't wearing a mask outside. brian: totally screwed. they easily go by it and say u mass other students, big waiting list what's the big deal? you should care about every student. big message to other kids considering this school. they have the drop dead policy, lose your money, that maryland woman, that mom, she says they have two students, three student loans, parent as well as student loans. they lost the money. they don't have the education because your daughter put her mask down to take a picture. ainsley: so they can go back to school. they are just suspended. brian: they have to reapply to the school. ainsley: so do they get a failing grade? steve: they have got to reapply. so the parents are suing for uneven punishment, which remember, what happened to the hockey team? nothing. what happened to these girls? suspended. brian: they are considering a class action lawsuit. they haven't done it yet.

attack. ainsley: what will our response be? >> well first of all you have to a the rib out to many cases these are just criminal groups out there doing this , many are former, i listened to a clip about president biden saying there's no evidence rush is behind it but the actors are in russia. well there's not a lot of american hacking groups out there hacking into the russian businesses, and stealing them for , holding them up for ransomware, so clearly, what you'll find is that a lot of the people involved in this , are either cyber actors that once worked for the russian federation or have links to the russian federation, and in some ways, from north korea it's part of how they generate revenue for the government so i do think there has to be some level of attribution that we're pretty clear about so that people understand it but i think we also have to be better awareness a lot of businesses out there think they are cyberattacks but they really aren't and there's no easy answer. this is their full time job to figure out how to get inside someone's system, steal their information and say we're not going to give it back to you and
5:07 am
you won't be able to run your business until you pay us the ransom and this is another example of it but i think we'll see more cases and some could be life threatening if it happens to a hospital system or airline or something, pharmaceutical companies. steve: sure, absolutely. of course joe biden turned off the keystone pipeline, first things he did he would never admit we need more pipelines but this shows we absolutely do. meanwhile, senator, speaking of joe biden, you know, there was a terrible jobs number miss at the end of last week. we were expecting 1 million jobs to be added. it was only something like 264,000, and everybody we've talked to on this program, small business people, say the reason, the numbers are so soft is because we can't get anybody who wants a job, because so many people are getting that $300 federal supplemental, they are staying at home. yesterday, joe biden said i don't know what people are talking about that's not true.
5:08 am
watch this. >> i know there's been a lot of discussion since friday's report that people are being paid to stay home rather than go to work well we don't see much evidence of that. they lost their jobs to a virus, and to a government that bundled its response to the crisis and failed to protect them, and for many of those folks unemployment benefits are a life line. no one should be allowed to game the system, and when the law is followed but let's not take our eye off the ball. we'll make it clear that anyone collecting unemployment who was offered a suitable job must take the job or lose their unemployment benefits. steve: and so, senator, he's saying if people are getting the unemployment benefits and they are offered a job, they got to take the job. that's the rule; however, we know there are a lot of people in this country not doing that. >> yeah, it's hard to enforce
5:09 am
it. look, i read these articles out there and just shake my head. republicans claim people don't want to go back to work. i'm not calling anybody lazy, but i call them logical and the logic tells me if you make almost as much or even more in some cases not working than working you'll do that until such time no longer exists but it's not me saying there's a labor crisis. literally there's nowhere i can go in south florida or anywhere in florida and i saw a sign yesterday at a coffee shop in miami that said due to the labor crisis we are understaffed. everyone is telling us this and i hear these reports because people are afraid their kids can't go back-to-school. schools have been open in florida since september. well people are afraid about the virus. you can walk into a cvs or walgreens and get a vaccine now so bottom line is simple and that is, what the employees are telling the employer is when my unemployment runs out then i'll come back to work. i'm going to make more or i can make almost as much not working and i can make money on the side and not have to report it for tax purposes. again i'm not calling anybody
5:10 am
lazy. this is a logical, you know, numbers-based decision some people made. i'm not saying it's the only factor but it's real. small businesses are telling us they cannot fill job openings they have 100 openings, three people apply, only one shows up and they quit after the first day. brian: if you want to know in other states not florida, you would know that directly, what it is like why women are staying home in great numbers is because a lot of these schools aren't open and he never brings up that link but goes out of his way to take a shot at trump which is classless. we thought that he was the mature guy in the room. meanwhile there's some breakthrough, when it comes to this vaccine. i think operation warp speed gave us the vaccine and now we understand they got to go for permanent green light pfizer is, anyway from the fda and now they are talking about green lighting this vaccine for 12-15- year-olds. are you in support of that? >> i think that's going to happen. again based on what science is out there, this is the largest clinical trial in human history at at this point, we now have months of data on it but here is
5:11 am
the other thing. this vaccine, and i had an op-ed up on foxnews.com people can read, is a good example of how industrial policy target industrial policy can work. this is operation warp speed will go down in history as one of the greatest successes in american history. it is the government partnering with the private sector to take existing research and repurpose it and massively produce a vaccine, not one where now it's up to four pretty soon, available. we've done vaccines, by far, better than any nation on the planet, and it's one of the reasons why you're starting to see more and more things get back to normal but it's a good example of how a targeted partnership with the government and the private sector can help serve the common good. i'm not saying that it's to every issue but big major issues with china it's a pretty good example and warp speed will go down as i said one of the great successes in american history. brian: no one is lining up for sputnik or the chinese vaccine. the chinese vaccine is a joke, just ask brazil.
5:12 am
real quick, senator, how much, how would we benefit from joe biden coming out, crediting president trump so when people feel as though the vaccine is joe biden's or the vaccine is donald trumps it could be that mix where people could say if you ever hurdle the clear, doesn't matter who you voted for trump gave it to you, we helped distribute it out. ainsley: it's not going to happen, brian. >> yeah, i know, look politics has now infected everything in our country including things like medicine and it's unfortunate but in the case of operation warp speed, you know, it happened under donald trump's presidency, it was directed by his administration. you can say anything you want about the early days and the shutdowns and masks and everything, people have their opinions on that. what is in in disputable is we have three approved vaccines, we should have a fourth pretty soon , most countries barely have one, if any, and they were developed basically less than a year within nine or 10 months of this virus emerging. that's a historic achievement.
5:13 am
it would have been impossible anywhere else in the world and a reminder of why we have to have industrial capacity. thank god we can make vaccines in this country because if we couldn't make them we'd be begging some other country to make it for us and they take the lions share of that production away. steve: senator before you go real quick, the president is going to meet with some of your colleagues in the senate talking infrastructure, do you think the democrats and republicans will find common ground? will there be a smaller bill or will it be a no deal? >> you know, i think first of all it's not about bigger or smaller it's about doing the right we shouldn't spend a dollar more than we need to, we should invest sufficiently in the things we need, roads, bridges, infrastructure widespread support is for that. roads and bridges and infrastructure is not part of an issue, at least it doesn't have to be so there will be a deal, i don't know because it's so hyper-partisan up here. do i think there can be a deal good for the country? i absolutely believe there can be. brian: the republicans are up to 800 billion, he wants 2.4 trillion and it's easy for them to debate it, it's not
5:14 am
their money. >> yeah, that's exactly right and again look at the end of the day what does it cost to build roads and bridges we need and that's what we have but you don't add a bunch of stuff to it that has nothing to do with road s and bridges and infrastructure which is what they do in their initial proposal. ainsley: like healthcare. it's our money too, senator thanks for coming on. >> thank you. thanks for having me. brian: we look forward to your column. up now on foxnews.com. ainsley: okay, jillian, has headlines for us. jillian: that's right good morning and let's begin with a fox news alert. explosion overnight between pal its un yankees and israeli security forces hundreds of rockets lighting up the sky in jerusalem. at least 24 people have been killed in the gaza strip including nine children. at least six israeli civilians have been injured, israel now sending troop reinforcements to the gaza border as it mobilizes 5,000 reserve soldiers. >> 44 state attorneys general are slamming facebook calling on
5:15 am
the social media giant to end plans to create an instagram for kids under the age of 13. the bipartisan group writing a letter to facebook ceo mark zuckerberg saying the company has "historically failed to protect the welfare of children ." facebook responded saying "any experience it develops will prioritize the safety and privacy of children." >> forward march, new york city reverses course, granting a permit for staten island's 102ne now initially the city denied the group citing covid-19 concerns. the change of heart comes after organizers made their case on fox & friends. about 1,000 people are expected to participate in the may 31 parade. that's a look at your headlines i'll send it back to you and i'm so happy they reversed that decision. steve: that's a win. ainsley: they came on fox news and i'm sure the leaders got a lot of flack for that, they allowed a cannabis parade but not the veterans parade so i'm glad they reversed course.
5:16 am
jillian: their message was very clearly heard. steve: it was indeed. brian: time to party again in a couple weeks. steve: jillian, thank you. still ahead on this tuesday telecast exclusive footage shows a surge of migrants including children crossing the rio grande , we'll talk to a local sheriff on how the escalating crisis is overwhelming his deputies. brian: plus the head of one of america's largest teacher's union is defending the controversial 1619 projects being taught in classroom and leo terrell says it's time for parents to fight against the woke curriculum. he'll join us live, next. or, give you unusually high energy, even when depressed. overwhelmed by bipolar i? ask about vraylar. some medicines only treat the lows or highs. vraylar effectively treats depression, acute manic and mixed episodes of bipolar i in adults. full-spectrum relief for all bipolar i symptoms,

5:21 am
enforcement warns it is only getting worse. joining us now with an inside look, kenny county texas sheriff , brad coe. good morning to you, sheriff. >> good morning how you all doing today? ainsley: doing well i know you're busy down there. what are you seeing? >> of course this all been going on for a while. it's a huge influx of aliens smuggling going on around here. every night it's always something. over the weekend, in one incident, we stopped four vehicles, all four vehicles were traveling together. all four vehicles had aliens in them. it's just non-stop. i've never seen anything like this in 35 years here. ainsley: how dangerous is it? >> it's getting more and more dangerous all the time because now we're encountering more and more firearms. you'd catch an alien smuggling a load, and they were passive and get out of the vehicle and not a problem and now they want to run and driving through fences and starting to carry firearms. ainsley: the numbers are staggering. if you compare last march to
5:22 am
this march, at the del rio border sector un accompanied minors up 194%, single adults up 388%. do you know the process, when they go into those first facilities and then they are moved to the next facility, which is hhs, what happens after that? >> i believe that's where they are starting to reach out to family members or organizations to help them assimilate into the community. ainsley: yes, sir. our reporter who shot this , who was out there with the photographer shooting this video, they were out there for three days, he talked to the individuals and they said they estimate about 50% of them do have family here in the united states. what if they bring children? do the kids once they're in because we know once they're in they get to stay. did they reach out to their family members to bring them over? >> well that's some of the controversy that we're hear ing. two days ago, friend of mine down south of here discovered five abandoned children on his report, and i think i believe this group also had phone number s attached to them. we don't know, nobody can confirm that if these people are
5:23 am
actually being vetted before these children are being turned over. i've never seen children abandon ed on the side of the river before. ainsley: that is so sad. five children without mom or dad or any relatives with them what do the people in the community, what are they saying? >> they are unan uproar over that. it's one thing to come across but to abandon five kids the oldest was eight or nine, it's unheard of. ainsley: can you tell us more about that? what did your friend say? >> he was hot. he was livid. he's used to them crossing his property, but have these kids for whatever reason not been discovered, then he's not actually in the hotspot, but it's going to draw unneeded attention to him. ainsley: well, sheriff thank you for coming on with us. i wish you all the best. thank you for your service. >> not a problem i'm having the time of my life in kinny county. ainsley: you're so cute. thank you. it is 8:23 on the east coast,

brian: all right the head of one of america's largest teacher 's unions defending the controversial 1619 project dreamed up by the new york times , by the way, against the push to stop it from being taught in our kid's schools. >> i believe we should teach history from the data i see , 1619 was the year that the first slave vote came from africa to the united states. ainsley: do you think it's wrong to suggest to children that if they're white they belong to an oppressor class. >> i think we should be lifting up all ethnicities. i don't think we should say that one is an oppressor class and one is non-oppressor class. brian: you can't have it both
5:29 am
ways fox news contributor leo te rrell joins us now to react. leo? your reaction to that interview, especially as she endorsed the 1619 project. >> i am very upset. let me be clear to the viewers. i was a former history teacher, american government teacher. i still have my teaching license randy winegarten, the union president, lied about the importance of the critical race theory and 1619 project. look, it's very clear that 1607 and 1619 and the slave issue was discussed and being discussed in american history but to make the premise that the american revolution was fought on slavery is an outright lie and i submit to you, brian, that this union president, was afraid of losing her job if she said the wrong thing. it's very insulting, because what's at issue here is not only the credibility of american history, but lying to our school children about american history.
5:30 am
this is what's so frightening about this critical race theory. brian: so just for the record, in the 70s when i was in grammar school and you were there, whether you were teaching or not, no one avoided slavery. no one avoided 1619. nobody whitewashed, no pun intended and in 1776, the country launches, don't pretend it launched in 1619, and no clear thinking person believes that america fought the revolution to keep slavery and the british wanted us to get rid of it. >> you're absolutely right. do you know what she's basically stating in this whole critical race here it all of the public school teachers including the seven years that i taught, i was teaching a lie? no, sir. i was not teaching a lie. america revolution, we fought against the british for our independence, not to preserve slavery. that is a lie, and yes, that union president is afraid, i'm looking i don't see , she's
5:31 am
afraid to tell the truth because no one believes that the american revolution was fought to preserve slavery. brian: let's do something totally different but just as outrageous to a degree. >> okay. brian: nbc decided they aren't going to air the 2022 golden globes, why? because they are very low-rated? no. because they suddenly realize the golden globes does not have diversity among its members and they asked them very nice and they haven't listened. here is the quote. "we continue to believe that the hfpa is committed to meaningful reform, however change of this magnitude takes time and work and we feel strong ly they need time to do it right. we are hopeful we will be in a position to air the show in january 2023 and then tom cruz says i'm giving my golden globe back." >> you see , brian, this is what i'm talking about when you look at every aspect through the prism of race. now, nbc, they need to look at themselves first and look in the mirror but they are telling the golden globes we don't like the way you handle your diversity issues. everything is looked at race and
5:32 am
through the prism of racism. they aren't talking about whether or not people are qualified and how many blacks or browns or white are necessary to please nbc. it is the play of the race card, and a continuation that everything right now, in this country, is looked through the prism of race and is dangerous, because divides this country. brian: hollywood just canceled itself, congratulations. we promised not to watch again, even as you were airing it we weren't going to watch. unbelievable. leo, thanks so much. >> thank you, brian. brian: all right, steve? steve: thank you, brian. struggling small businesses in the city of kenosha, wisconsin are still rebuilding after riots decimated their storefronts. you saw those. grady trimble from our sister network, fox business, joins us live with one of the businesses that was completely destroyed during last year's protest. fast forward one year, grady take it away.
5:33 am
reporter: happy to report, steve , that we have some good news. this is dnl office furniture total loss in a fire in those riots after the police shooting of jacob blake. scott carpenter is the owner and we met as you were surveying the damage for the first time the building was still smolder ing as you looked at it. here we are nine months later, how are things going? >> going well. we're in our new location 7,600 75th street here in kenosha, got great neighbors, good location i'm excited to be open. reporter: and a lot of this is possible because of a city grant of $50,000 as well as just the general public, who decided to chip into a gofundme and help you raise some money that way as well. what's the support been like from the community as you rebuild? >> the supports been amazing. everywhere we go people are like how are you doing, how is business, things moving forward and like yeah, just excited. the outpouring of love is what kept us going. reporter: last question is looking forward, last summer is when the protests took place,
5:34 am
weather is warming up again, are things going to be bad again? are you worried about that? >> well we're praying. local business people still downtown, they're really looking forward to a good year and we're hoping things come together and we can work together as a community on this , moving forward. reporter: we wish you the best of luck and we hope it stay peaceful because as you can see , steve, great location, and business is back to relatively normal after a pretty tough year , considering the pandemic and the rioting. steve? steve: already grady trimble live in kenosha, grady, thank you. still ahead on our show today, on this tuesday, hillbilly author j. d. vance says president biden's latest plan for universal child care wages a culture war against normal people. he'll join us to explain, very shortly. but first, pete hegseth is sought in columbus, ohio, having breakfast with friends. he's over by the short order window with the eggs. very nicely done, pete.
5:35 am
pete: i'm at tommy's diner right now, you might get an omelette made by me, may or may not have egg shells in there and there we go, we'll talk to the people about what they really care about here at tommy's dine erin columbus, ohio. what do you want, over easy, over medium? we believe at newday usa we have a noble purpose. we want to be known as america's mortgage company
5:36 am
for veterans and active-duty service people. some of them are giving their lives right now, today, for the freedoms that we have here in this country. so for us, at newday to help those people at this point in time. it's a labor of love, it's a noble service, and that's what we're all about. among my patients i often see them have teeth sensitivity as well as gum issues. does it worry me? absolutely.
5:37 am

5:39 am
>> we're going to provide real help for people struggling with the challenge of child care. this is the largest investment in child care since world war ii simply put, it's going to help working parents get back to work this one time investment is a real answer to a real problem. our economy is facing right now. steve: you got president biden yesterday making his latest spending pitch, offering to provide parents with federal
5:40 am
assistance on child care, but critics argue the plan would cost to explode with very little benefit. while our next guest says it wages a culture war against normal people. here to explain venture capitalist and best selling author of "hillbilly lg" j. d. v ance. what do you mean class warfare against normal people? >> well what i mean, steve, is that a pretty consistent finding is that most people when they have young kids they want to be able to spend more time at home with their children, not be forced into the workforce and as you compare that to the words of biden and advisor susan rice who says this plan is meant to get as many parents especially mothers into the workforce, i stop and say well why do we want that? if more importants want to spend more time at home with their kids why don't we make that the goal of public policy rather than shifting a ton of people into a
5:41 am
massive federally-mandated daycare system and importantly that daycare system is really low quality so it's bad for the parents but also bad for the kids who are forced into it. steve: sure, and rather than being operated by the private sector, which be responsible to providing something great, it be nationalized, it be enforced by federal rules, and undoubtedly, j. d., it be unionized. >> yeah, that's exactly right, steve and if we learned one thing over the past year it's that maybe the unions have too much power over our kids and maybe these government unions have too much power and we should be taking away their power not giving them more power but i consistently come back to this idea that it's a normal thing. you see it if you talk to people you see it in the polling data, and want to spend more time with your children when they're young why don't we have public policy make that easier, give parents more choice, more options, and now if they want to use those resources to send their kids to daycare that's fine, but if they want to use those
5:42 am
resources to withdraw from the labor force for a couple years while their kids are young , we should be encouraging that because it's good for the children and it's just a really weird thing that so many of our ruling class are focused on forcing parents into the workforce, away from their kids as opposed to giving those parents more choice. steve: well you say joe biden's plan goes too far. senator elizabeth warren says wrong. doesn't go far enough listen to this. >> i think that the president's budget quite frankly doesn't go quite far enough. we've got to negotiate to the right number. we've got to make it universal, available to all our parents and we want to have an america that truly is about opportunity for everyone and that includes regardless of gender, regardless of race, regardless of the kind of family you were born into. this one is personal for so many others. steve: all right, if she were listening right now, what would you tell her? >> well i'd say look, elizabeth , you're dead wrong
5:43 am
about this. it's so weird to me how our elite, especially those on the left, define opportunity and define achievement. purely in terms of labor market success and again most of the people that i talk to, frankly men and women, the most important thing in their lives is not their job, it's their families and their children. people like to work. they like to have careers but the most important thing is their children. we should not be defining success and achievement in this country as shunting as many parents as possible into the labor force, when a lot of them want to spend more time with their kids. kids are only young for a little while. of course you know this , steve it's an obvious fact. people can work before their kids they can work when their kids are a little bit older obviously when they are school age but during those precious moments we should not be encouraging people to throw their kids into daycare, if they don't want to. if they want to spend more time at home with their children, i think it's basic common sense that we should say you should have that right, you should have
5:44 am
that choice. steve: you know, and the way that the biden team is selling it, they say it would save the average family $14, 800 a year but they are talking about parents who work. they aren't talking about parent s who stay-at-home with the kids, which is the underlying point that you have very eloquently been making this morning. >> that's exactly right, steve. so many parents want to have at least one parent at home with the children and this is why it's on normal people. if you look at the lifestyle in the middle of the country, you have many many stay-at-home parents, people who want to spend time with their kids. we should not be making those people's lives harder. we should be making them easier, and this is why i say again, you have the ruling class that seems to want to impose a income model on the rest of the country but the rest of the country doesn't want it. steve: well let's see what happens. j. d., thank you very much for joining us from cincinnati. >> thanks, steve.
5:45 am
steve: coming up on quarter before the top of the hour, jillian joins us with more headlines. good morning. jillian: good morning to you, steve that's right. we begin with this. the vatican is warning u.s. bishops of fallout from a possible plan to rebuke roman catholic politicians. there is issue among some bishop s with public figures like president biden receiving communion, even though they support abortion rights. u.s. bishops are planning to meet next month with plans to vote on drafting a document on the communion issue. >> overnight, glenn younkin wins the gop nomination for governor. the ceo of a private equity firm campaigned as a political outsider and defeated a field of seven candidates and he took to twitter saying "i'm prepared to lead, excited to serve and are foundly humbled by the trust people have placed in me." democrats will choose their nominee next month. >> and check this out, the philadelphia fliers mascot throws a sheetcake right at a fan. oh, man! the woman asking the icon iconic
5:46 am

we've been having a great morning here in columbus, ohio, wonderful folks including laurie , and cool thing about laurie is you own a flag store, domestically made. you make american flags. it's called the flag lady. >> i make, i do manufacturing, not all-american flags i do historical flags, but we also will make the blue line flags, police flags and all that stuff. pete: awesome. talk to me about hiring employee s right now. >> it's tough. it's really tough. i have four positions that have been open for six or seven months. cannot get a seemstress to come in at all which is slowing down production and my retail department needs some additional help and i've hired two and they've been no-shows. pete: no-shows? >> that's right. pete: why are they not showing? >> one of them told me specifically it wasn't worth her time by the time she gets her, you know, her -- pete: unemployment? >> yes, thank you, and that's
5:53 am
because once the taxes come out, because we don't pay just minimum wage, once the taxes come out it's really equal, and she's also got to get child care , and the other things that go with that, so it's not worth it. she needs to stay home. pete: even though you'd pay more than unemployment, because of the taxes that are paid on it, child care and everything else, it's worth more to just take unemployment where you don't pay taxes on it. >> absolutely. the other person was just a no- show, and i think everyone's evaluating whether or not it's worth it at this point to come in, when you can be at home with your children, so many children are not in school, still, and it's just so disruptive to go and work outside the home. pete: when joe biden says it's negligible the whole unemployment thing isn't affect ing if people are taking jobs what do you say to that? >> he's misunderstanding the problem. that's what i would say, but yeah, he is, and i think small business is better than really,
5:54 am
small business really is affect ed by it, in a different manner because we don't have deep pockets. i've already got staff at a full capacity, and so what's happening with my staff is they're doing over and beyond what they would normally be doing if the help came in and we're tired and we're entering 4th of july season and i'm not sure i'll have enough flags i have a huge supplier issue to get to july 4th. pete: that's not going to stand not enough flags for 4th of july i'm sure you'd be working your tail off laurie thank you so much. it's called the flag lady. check it out. i know you think you're the only one that can walk on television but here i am, left, right, left , right. ainsley: [laughter] pete: brian kilmeade quality. doug and john, doug, you're supporting a gubernatorial candidate in ohio, but also on

the national level, you're pretty fired up about the border , why? >> oh, i think the borders are, it's a disaster. i think they are taking away our constitutional rights one at a time and it bothers me and nobody is paying attention to the borders and you know, not only are people being hurt, but children are, you know, equally being asco corrupted as i think what's happening at the border and joe blythestone running for governor is a constitutional candidate and he believes in the principles of the constitution and making sure that our rights aren't taken. pete: sure, absolutely, john, real quick, covid is something, how its affected our lives. >> we need to from the administration and the government, we were so blessed to get just a wonderful vaccine. we need to make sure that we let people know how great it is and show that from a presidential and administration standpoint. pete: maybe then you can take off your mask if you get the vaccine. >> look at all of us here.
