americans are struggling to find gas after a cyber attack on a colonial pipeline. the biden administration vowing to address shortages across the southeast. todd: not happy with this, griff jenkins live in washington, serious business. >> reporter: prices are skyrocketing, more than 1000 gas stations have run out of gas in the southeast, look at this, 16% in north carolina, 10% in georgia and virginia, 8% in south carolina, 3 and a half in florida. governors in north carolina, georgia, virginia and florida declaring states of emergency is the epa issued fuel emergency waivers to alleviate shortages in 12 states and the district of columbia, those waivers allowed off state gasoline, summer or winter gas through the end of this month to bolster fuel supplies. meanwhile at the white house energy secretary jennifer grahnholm is urging drivers not to panic.

>> let me emphasize there was no cause for hoarding toilet paper at the beginning of the pandemic, there should be no cause for hoarding gasoline especially in the light of the fact that the pipeline should be substantially operational by the end of this week. todd: the pipeline is prepared to deliver an additional 2 million barrels of gasoline when those systems restart as though cyber attack last friday on the nation's pipeline has leaders trying to put this hack into perspective which a former cyber security adviser did not sugarcoat. >> think about if this occurred and a bomb had hit the pipeline that is an active 4. it is harder because it is a digital bomb but to me that is straightforward. >> reporter: this will be front and center when washington, schumer, pelosi, and mccarthy sit down face-to-face with the

hamas militants in houses and cars. it was a night of horrors on both sides of the conflict and i would like to show you though perhaps you've got to other video by standing by house and tel aviv that was destroyed overnight, it shows the random nature of all of this. there were 130 rockets fired toward tel aviv last night and if you direct hits, this is one of them, the family got to a bomb shelter in time since the hostilities and rocket barrages began, five israelis have been confirmed dead and among them two arabs. back to gaza where the rockets here were a response to the airstrikes on high-rise buildings in the gaza strip. the militant groups called for a halt to that and israel was not

prepared to do that and continued to hit these buildings and continued to hit high-rise buildings because they say there are lots of different bits of hamas infrastructure and they are doing their best to give warning to residents with small hits on rooftops, time to organize themselves or going to their cell phones. the iron dome missile defense system in israel, they managed to intercept 90% of the incoming rockets since all of this kicked off the other day. there have been 1050 rockets hurled towards israel, 200 of them have fallen short and landed in the gaza strip. the rest have come here and again the israeli defense forces say iron dome, 90% of them still leaves hundred that have in open fields, some of them causing damage like you see here and casualties on the palestinian

crimes and making arrests. todd: your budget reduced by more or less than half $1 billion, mayor deblasio says it is about too many illegal guns on the street, not the reduction in funding. what do you say? >> absolutely false. you can't run a police department without proper funding. we have seen it in the past. it didn't work. it is a direct correlation between their budget and funding, bail reform laws and city council laws, direct correlation on those 3 factors and the crime we are seeing now. jillian: look at this number. there's been an 83% spike in shootings in new york city, just in a year, 2021-2020. when people are allowed to get away with certain things and you have a change of behavior and try to revert back to how things

were how long will it be before we get things back on track? >> i think it will be a long time because the laws have to be repealed in order for the police to work efficiently and properly. todd: knowing what you know would you tell our view was to visit new york city this summer? >> absolutely not. the more people that come into the city the more people will be victimized. jillian: this isn't just new york city problem. we have people watching from all over the country saying you have violence spiking in my area too, this is going on throughout the country. >> we have the capability to do it, we have the capability to stop crime, let us do it the way it needs to be done and elected officials are blocking us with laws they enacted and we can't do our job efficiently. jillian: i sense frustration in your voice. how frustrated are you?

again we have not funded research on this virus in the wuhan institute of virology. >> you are parsing words. >> there was research done. >> senator tom, using doctor fauci of being less than transparent. >> tony fauci may be a good scientist but doesn't seem to know about constitutional self-government. they appear to have disregarded the direction of the obama white house. jillian: the senate foreign relations committee will hold a hearing on the pandemic and president biden will deliver remarks on covid response and vaccines. todd: marianne, thanks. jillian: harvard medical school, appreciate your time. good morning. you just heard the report filed

by marianne rafferty talking about this new york times report claiming cdc estimations estimates the risk of coronavirus foundation is 10%, greatly exaggerated. what do you believe the risk is of transmission models? >> small. to be out walking, hiking, swimming, whatever, during a pandemic, on the left side. jillian: how is this miscalculating? >> don't know. i think it has been clear from the beginning, for all the viruses, outdoor transmission is very small. jillian: the cdc suggests wearing a mask outside in certain situations. with everything we know about this virus do we need to wear masks outside? >> i don't think we should.

don't know why does suggested. there is no reason for. jillian: what is your take on that? >> no need -- if you have had a vaccine or natural infection from covid 19, you don't need to wear a mask and children should not wear masks. jillian: americans are frustrated from the medical perspective on your end, that the cdc isn't updating their guidelines. on the one hand you have a lot of people saying and even the biden administration has said once you are vaccinated, more liberties to do things but also the president wearing a mask sometimes, still wearing a mask indoors or around people who have been fully vaccinated. from your perspective is it frustrating the guidelines are not updated? >> it is frustrating and we should encourage every old person to get vaccinated because

they are very high risk and once you have been vaccinated you should live a normal life and same thing if you had covid 19 you are better immunity than vaccines so you should live a normal life. jillian: marianne rafferty touched on this in her segment, this back and forth between rand paul and doctor fauci. >> do you support funding of the nih funding of the lab in wuhan. >> with all due respect you are entirely and completely incorrect. >> government scientists who favor gain of function -- >> i don't favor gain of function research. that is not correct. jillian: what is your reaction to that? >> i don't know the details of the wuhan lab but one thing nih,

should have get effort on this to fund research on various potential treatments. it is a failure of the scientific community, we don't know what works and what does not. many questions after one year and that is unfortunate. jillian: thank you for joining us, appreciate it. have a good day. >> to extreme weather, extreme stores battering the south overnight, this new video showing heavy rain over mississippi as we learn about a possible tornado in new orleans. >> reporter: good morning. we are still tracking potential for strong to severe storms, we will so the -- see severe weather outbreak but hundreds of

have blocked this in the first place? >> that's been a question we have been asking ourselves for months now. the important thing is there is others who wanted to happen and it will happen. but we don't know why exactly the pentagon has declined our permit to be able to stage in their parking lot which is the largest area in d.c. for us to park. jillian: it seems silly, you are outdoors on motor cycles, i don't think i'm in the minority when i say i don't understand this decision. pull up this graphic and there are 34 house g.o.p. members who signed a letter pressuring the president to let the veterans use the pentagon parking lot for this event. congressman, i know that you are one of them. have you heard a response back yet and do you think you will if you haven't? >> no response whatsoever from the white house. let's put this into perspective. right? we are as likely see them approve this as we tore see other liberal cities say they are not going to tell you how you can run a wedding or a party

or a restaurant or anything else. it's just another example of overreach coming from the top, coming from the biden administration saying we're going to dictate how you can go out there and remember our veterans, our service members, those who gave their lives. todd: why no democrats on that list? seems like this should be bipartisan. there are a number of colleagues in the house and the senate on the democratic side who fought for our country. >> i have been scratching my head trying to figure that out. literally for the past several days why has this not been bipartisan? why no democrats? why will they not reach out to the administration and say, mr. president, this makes sense. please let those veterans go out there. those americans go out there and remember memorial day. remember those veterans. why not -- i wish i could answer that question for you. i have been trying to figure it out myself. jillian: this should be a no baron. joe, what is your plan b if you need to get to that point? >> yes. so we are at that plan b now.

we will be staging our it rfk stadium parking lot former nfl stadium in the district of columbia. we are expecting about 100,000 motor cycles so show up on may 30th. we will have a place for them. they will be able to be heard. that's the most important part here and metro police department in d.c. and now the mayor's office have really stepped up to enable us to ensure that we are able to do this. jillian: joe, just quickly here, 30 second a follow up. does this feel like a punch to the get? is this disappointing to have this happen. >> a lot of people have expressed disappointment to us and i would say yes, honorablely at this point we don't have enough time to worry about who has said no and focusing on who has said yes and moving forward to make sure this is a safe, well-coordinated event. todd: congressman, do you get a sense that our country is slipping further and further away from respecting military service when you see something like this and you see what we have done to our national guard troops over the last four

months. >> those are two perfect examples of the great work being done by am vet and other veterans on the ground that say we are not going to let this happen. that's what have you got to be proud of. jillian: thank you both for your service, congressman mast and joe thank you very much for joining us. have a good day. and we hope the event goes on as planned. "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ ♪ >> thousand gas stations reportedly running out of fuel. >> do you understand what's happening here today. >> i do. it's crazy. >> apprehension numbers could be pushing 25,000 just for the month of april. >> what you meant last week when you said the border is closed? >> what i meant is precisely that, the border is closed. >> the it cdc was overstating the risk of outdoor transmission by 100 fold. >> the actual transmission rate is less than 1%. >> i always considered the cdc to be the gold sar
