>> this is our original curvey couch. like some other things it put on pandemic pounds because it's 2 feet longer in each direction. brian: should be 3 feet that was the rules last week. ainsley: i missed you guys. steve: that's because you are 6 feet away. they measured. there was a guy in here with a tape measure. i'm 6 feet from ainsley. ainsley is 6 feet from brian and i think let me do the math. brian: more than 6. ainsley: more than 12. like adding a link in the table when have company. ainsley: remember the yardstick in the kitchen in the back corner of the cabinet. y'all are more than two yardsticks away. brian: some people write us when you are are you going to get bao the couch that was two weeks ago. back to our couch on the second floor. soon even closer and who knows maybe studio guests soon and o share the green room. ainsley: i haven't thought about that. wow. sorry jay lien, you will be back

at work, she handles the green room she is off camera. brian: i have never met her. ainsley: i steal her from you. brian: do you on a daily basis because she likes you better. and i don't blame her. let's talk about that pipeline hit that slammed into us last friday looks like this group called darkside who according to politico u.s. intelligence officials believe it's related to russia and supported by the gru which is russia's army intelligence arm even though they vehemently deny it the enact they supply 100 million gallons of fuel each day. it the fact that it's barely running except for manual work on some of the pipeline arteries we are severely hurt by this. look at the overhead shots of the lines for people, especially in north carolina waiting for fuel. ainsley: brian and steve, i'm on the phone with my it friend cindy i'm going to pick up the kids from school. i'm going to try to get gas. i have a fourth of a tank.

all the gas stations constantly no gas. she is in a little bit of a panic mode. she in her little neighborhood in atlanta. a lot of them drive cart carts. i guess i'm going to be dropping my kids off at school in golf carts if i run out of gas. brian: hire a caddie. steve: when you look at those lines, over a thousand gas stations in the united states have already run out of gas. that number is probably going go up because of the pipeline disruption. and here's the thick. it's the panic buying. they say that they are selling three or four times as much gas as normal because people. ainsley: people are hoarding it. steve: people freaked out like at the beginning of the pandemic when people started hoarding toilet paper and bounty towels. they're thinking i don't trust the government when they say the pipeline is going to be back on in a week. i'm going to go fill up my car. and every time i see a gas station where there is an open lane, i'm going to go get some gas. sara carter was working with

sean hannity's program last night. talked to drivers in loud continue county, virginia how it is impacting them and seems to be impacting everybody. >> i was told gas was going to go up 20 cents a gallon. i filled up all my vehicles and gas cans now there is no gas. >> my mother texted me watch out there is going to be a gas shortage now. i said that sounds crazy. but that is in fact what is happening. how do you blame for all of this? >> the president of the united states. >> fifth gas station i have been at today. >> how long do you think you have left. >> the way it's going we will run out tonight if i stay open all night. >> any message for president biden? >> i wouldn't understand what i'm talking about. >> who do you blame for all of

this. >> biden, sorry. brian: i 'blame outdated version of microsoft exchange. out of everything to invest. in let's cut back on microsoft and let's make sure cybersecurity is not updated. so this is unbelievably irresponsible by them. and i think we have to revisit how, when it comes to these individual companies, private companies, and when you effect national security which energy is, you have to have a checklist at the very least on cyber protection because it effects all of us. ainsley: after shut down the keystone pipeline now we are experiencing the shutdown of another pipeline. doesn't it make you realize how dependant we are on pipelines? steve: absolutely. keep in mind joe biden and his administration shut down the keystone pipeline right at the get-go. they shut down this one pipeline and it's already got 1,000 gas stations out of gas so far. do you know how they are making up for the lost pipeline right

now? according to cbs, 10,000 trucks are hauling fuel every day to make up for the pipeline shut down. think about that. what do you think environmentalists would like better? would they like 10,000 trucks trucking across the united states or one pipeline? maybe we need more pipelines, not fewer. and to the guy's point in the soundbite montage with sara carter who blames joe biden, do you know who else blames joe biden? ric grenell, the former acting national intelligence director. he said this is an intel failure by the biden administration and it is now impacting millions of americans. and do you know what? he's right. ainsley: impacting 45% of the east coast as we have said the gas stations there georgia 10.4%. look at north carolina, 16% of the gas stations affected by this. newt gingrich said even if you don't live in impacted states, look at the map: talking to

people at georgia 10.4%. north carolina though is feeling it the worst. the expire east coast. those are some of the states feeling it the most. do you want to say something before i talk about newt gingrich? brian brian real quick. the seinfeld episode where they tie everything together at the end. if you want to tie it together at the end. the headline is weakness. if you look at russia. russia is seeking weakness in you the gru behind us weakness. iran doing supply hamas. rockets in israel. it fast boats are affecting our ships in the persian gulf. weakness. china doing calling us out in alaska to updating what they're doing infiltrating with paying their lobbyist fees up 540% to infiltrate our communications here in this country. and possibly our policy. they see weakness all around. it's up to the president of the united states to stand up and show strength because we are paying the price. ainsley: this is going to be fixed. colonial is saying that the goal is to reopen at the end of the

week. you are right, the bigger picture is how does this make us look globally? brian: terrible. steve: to the point how this is part of our critical national infrastructure and, you know, until this happened i really hadn't heard joe biden talk much about pipelines. ains how important they are. steve: newt gingrich disagrees. watch this. >> this should bother every american that our largest pipeline to the east, 43% of all oil and gas for the eastern united states could be hammered by some private sector criminal gang and we have no idea who they are, where they're, how to get them, how to make it too expensive to some other gang to do it. these things all are compounding and i think that another couple months you are going to see a real sense of dismay that this is a democratic party that is hanging on to power by a very,

very thin -- steve: to newt's point about ransomware and gang tied to russia the reason ransomware is exploding across the country because it is very lucrative and they get away with it with the united states of america's assets, why can we not figure out who these people are and turn it off? i don't get it. brian: now turn to the border crisis. griff jenkins is live as arrests continue to reach a 21-year high during the month of april. griff? griff griff that's right, brian, ainsley, steve, good morning. the april numbers are in and numbers continuing to overwhelm our southwest border. it is more than 20 year highs. look at this number 178622 migrants illegally entered the united states. 3% increase from last month you see march there. now the number of unaccompanied children from the northern triangle countries did drop by

12%, but the record shattering number of children currently in hhs shelter care remained nearly 21,000. that 20669 from yesterday's unaccompanied child report. a number that stood out to me particularly those april number release is fox news, here you see capturing the hundreds of migrants crossing the rio grande in del rio, texas. when you compare the encounters from this fiscal year to last fiscal year, it's a nearly 250% increase. that means that the cartel's profits are up 250%. drug seizures up 6%. for heroin up some 90%. pause everyone crosses that border, they are paying at least once, it doesn't account for the known got aways. agents tell me that is off the charts. meanwhile, what the white house dh is secretary mayorkas pressed by peter doocy still claims the border is not open. watch. >> groups of dozens or hundreds

of migrants walking right into the country. i'm curious what you meant last week when you said the border is closed? >> what i meant is precisely that, the border is closed. we are expelling single adults and families. we will not expel unaccompanied children. griff: that's not it will view of some 20 governors will asking the president to act. joined you guys in the 8:00 a.m. of "fox & friends." brian, ainsley, steve? steve: thanks for the plug. brian: one of the dumber things ever said and one of the stupidest policies ever implemented not expelling kids. not that anything is wrong with kids. you have to put them back humanely and put them back to original country all you are gainer teaching is more unaccompanied kids taking incredible risks against impossible odds with people they don't know, often unsavory leave them in unsafe places. you are giving the go sign to

20,000 more kids to make this journey for families to mortgage their own houses because they think the possibility of coming in is 100 percent. that is looking around the corner and he knows better because he spent years as a deputy secretary. ainsley: it's always interesting when we hear the stories and talk to the people who live there on the border. there is a farmer who lives right there on the border, and he said he found five girls, five children. steve: abandoned. ainsley: on his property. the youngest 11 months old. not a year old. the oldest 7 years old. three of them from honduras and two of them from guatemala which tells you they probably don't know each other. how did they find each other? was there a smuggler that dropped all five of them off? thank the goods lord he found these little girls. he gave them shelter. he found someone on his property that speaks spanish and able to talk to the little girls. he gave them shelter and supplies and blankets. he said one was dehydrated. one he thought was dead. steve: that's terrible. it will here is he jimmy ray

hobbs. >> they were all in a little pile right here on a little old bitty blanket. one of them i thought was dead already. she was all out. one little baby crawling around, couldn't walk. people are going to have to realize this is not going to work. this is bad for everybody. it's bad for those little kids. and it's going to be bad for our country, too. well, it already is. steve: it's bad poor the kids on the trip here. but then, you know, over the last couple of months we have shown you. so images of the kids in the pods and there was outfor the mainstream media for about two weeks. and now there aren't kids in those pods anymore. instead they have been shipped off to other facilities and the associated press -- the associated press has a story this morning talking about how the biden administration is holding 20,000 kids in 200 facilities in a couple dozen states there are five shelters

with over 1,000 kids in each one. and while joe biden criticized donald trump for not vetting the caregivers with full background checks joe biden is doing the same thing. they are also using facilities that do not meet state requirements and regulations. they have very little oversight. and here is something that is astounding. some attorneys for some of the children's families say even the parents cannot figure out where their kids are at this point. go back in the time machine to when donald trump was the president of the united states, the outrage about what was going on on our southern border, it is still going on. where is the i couldn't tell rage. brian: it's worse. ainsley: can you imagine? we all have children. 11-month-old baby. can't even walk. found, no parents. brian: there will be more coming. more 11 -month-old babies taking these trips unsavory characters through perilous lands. who knows how many have not

survived already because we are allowing any kid to stay. that means more come and then we it. ainsley: think about the long-term effects. how does this effect them in 20 years? their parents dropping them off. this child doesn't even know who their mom. steve: they will be in america which ultimately is the goal. brian: 15 minutes after the top of the hour. other big news happened yesterday on capitol hill. as it will committee we found out where we are in the state of the pandemic. when it comes to the white house, and the cdc guidelines, i don't think anyone has disappointed america more than the cdc. i mean, with their conflicting guidelines, infiltrated by unions like the teachers unions and how they have been deceptive when it comes to what we can do and can't do in terms of every day behavior from the ridiculous guidelines when it comes to camps this summer to what they are now saying about outdoor mask-wearing. by the way nobody in that pressroom should be wearing a mask. they have all been vaccinated

including mayorkas and the officials. that's what the cdc should be saying especially when it comes to outdoor. ainsley: who do we trust, brian. you can't trust the w.h.o. and cdc and who do you trust. brian: think when it comes to outdoor mask wearing think what they're saying. ainsley: we know the truth. brian: less than 1% chance of getting the virus if you are outdoors, period. yet, they're making us wear masks nonstop for over a year. steve: why do they do that? because when we feel that there is a public health emergency, we are more likely to go along with okay, pass another $2 trillion bill. here's what it comes down. to say the "new york times" did an item and look at the cdc. which said about 10% of all infections come from outdoors. ainsley: wrong. steve: you need to keep wearing masks. the "new york times" looked into it and said this. when the centers for disease control and prevention released new guidelines last month for mask-wearing it announced less than 10% of covid-19 transmission was occurring outdoors. the number is almost certainly

misleading. it appears to be only based partially on this classification of some covid transmission that actually took place in enclosed spaces. ainsley: in enclosed spaces. steve: this was in singapore as well. bigger issue of cdc officials picked a benchmark 10% so high nobody could reasonably dispute it. so what it comes down to is this, essentially. it is almost impossible to contract covid outdoors. everybody seems to be getting it indoors that we understand at this point. why do they keep pushing it? peter doocy asked jen psaki about it yesterday. she said this. >> wear masks when they have created this impression that up to 10% of covid transmission occurs outdoors even though there is report that say there is not a single commented code infection anywhere in the world from casual outdoor interaction. >> well, i believe dr. wolenski

addressed this in the senate hearing this morning and she pointed to a collection of scientific studies that set that number that they relied on that set that number at less than 10%. >> the then president-elect said in january i have always said that the biden-harris administration will lead with science and truth. which one is it here? >> again, peter, we know that outdoor transmission is rare. the cdc has said that themselves. i would certainly refer you to them. brian: unbelievable. they went to a singapore study that said that at one point. think about all those kids playing sports with masks on or not playing at all when there is -- not only is it unlikely a kid going to get and it suffer from it number two is, they can't even transfer it and they are wearing masks, choking to death. we're watching these track athletes fall down before they could finish their hundred meters and these people just sit there and they throw stuff out at us and they try to get people to condemn other american citizens turning on people wear

a mask, why aren't you doing that? ainsley you, you got yelled at when you are walking outdoors in the park because they militarized half the population against other half. and you can't believe people that is supposed to know. ainsley: what's the incentive getting vaccinated. i had code. i have the antibodies. i have all three of those things and i'm still wearing a mask at the gym. brian: you should not. ainsley: i'm working out with a mask on and somebody lady yells at me i pulled my mask off outside which i'm allowed to do. brian: attention, we're not wearing them anymore. steve steve what the credz has said all the transmission is happening indoors. so, if you haven't been vaccinated, beware. ultimately, what is embarrassing to the biden administration, is the fact that they were called out by the "new york times." and that's got to burn them just a little bit. all right, more on this a little later. brian: all right, meanwhile, international news, israel hits hamas hard in gaza deadly rocket attacks. we are live in tel aviv with the

[explosion] steve: the explosions leveled buildings and caused widespread damage in gaza as well as tel aviv. ainsley: amy kellogg is live

with coverage. >> night on both sides of conflict. whether or not you were on the line of airstrikes or rockets. let me give you a look a at this house not far from tel aviv and the airport. mercifully the family inside got to the shelter inside. sirens going off all night. as you can see the house is destroyed. there were five people killed in the course of the last 24 hours due to these rockets fired by hamas. two of them arabs who live inside of israel. there were barrages of rockets towards tel aviv which is really crossing a big red line for the israelis. that started in relation to what's been going on in the gaza strip for the last couple of days. hamas gave an ultimatum saying to the israelis to stop blowing up these high rise houses. israel continued its operations because they say that there is a lot of hamas infrastructure inside of these places and they also say that they have been warning residents with plenty of

time, civilians to get out before the bombs hit. finally the iron dome missile defense system has been activated throughout all of this. it is said to be 90% effective. since hostilities began here on a military scale on monday, 1050 rockets were fired from gaza towards israel. 200 or so fell short and landed back in gaza. but 800 flew over israel and iron dome got upwards of 500 of them. they have had to adjust the system because they are simply not used to such a huge barrage from hamas. the latest developments and anti-tank missile was fired at a car in southern israel close gaza. and there have been some very serious injuries israeli media reporting possibly even some deaths. back to you guys. steve: awful night. ainsley: terrible. brian: thanks, amy.

>> i'm okay. how are you? steve: i'm okay. the secretary right there said the border is closed yet very clearly the border is not closed. you are on the other side. is the border closed? >> i would very much disagree with that statement. the way that it's been handling or being managed it seems to be wide open for unlawful entry into the united states. steve: okay. you've got a problem because a lot of those people are coming into your town. you've reached out to the administration for help and what have they told you? >> they keep telling us that the border is under control and i simply do not understand how 292% increase. right now at 97 98 captures. i simply do not understand how that is under control. steve: no kidding. you have been down in del rio for awhile. remember the old days when the border patrol would be on one side the american side of the border

around migrantst would be coming over and they would go eh, stop, turn around. go home. if a border patrol agent said that these days, they would probably get fired because the administration clearly wants people to cross. >> it appears that there is a different afrozen immigration either with lots of person know actually patrol on the ground and i just -- you see the video 52 persons that video that was shown the other day it is happening here in my community. steve: sure. and the number one priority of the biden administration from the get-go has been covid trying to get the transmission rates down and things like that. we have been talking about it everyday because it's a global pandemic. here's the thing, as those people approach the united states, how many of those people are actually being allowed into the country but are not being tested for covid? they could be bringing covid in and that's one of the things you have been very concerned with

and you've asked the federal government for help and what have they told you? >> it's very peculiar because americans to come back into this country from foreign destinations you have to have a negative covid-19 test within 72 hours prior to your flight. meanwhile, you have persons entering unlawfully that have no covid testing. and the department of homeland security was administering those tests but they have recently called me dr. easton recently called me and told me dh is can no longer legally will add minister those tests. we can continue their testing on their behalf. i think that's absolutely ridiculous. there is obviously no plan of action. it's being paid for by fema which is our tax dollars for natural disaster. and i simply do not understand how illegally crossing is considered a natural disaster. many questions. few answers. steve: no kidding. mayor, it's got to hurt you have to say the administration has no plan of action because you're a democrat and this is a democrat

illegally getting this royal treatment post crossing. steve: yeah. do you know what? secretary mayorkas should call you because you say that statement is ridiculous and at the same time you say that him saying the border is closed. that's ridiculous as well. you have got a lot of questions but you have not gotten a lot of answers. and this is the troubling part. >> absolutely. steve: mayor, thank you very much for joining us, good luck to you. >> thank you again for having me. have a great morning. steve: we will try. hope you can, too. all right. straight ahead. 21 minutes before the top of the hour here in the east. still to come, san francisco in the west, the schools there finally reopening but it could be for just one day. yeah, we're going to reopen for one day. outraged parents are calling the cash grab so the district can qualify for millions in state funding. that loophole coming up next. and meanwhile, from our friends at fox bet, download today when you get a little time the fox bet super 6 app. and play for a chance to win 10,000 bucks. all you got to do is predict the outcomes of six different

steve: meanwhile the biden administration vowing to address shortages across the southeast before they get too bad. look at that. brian: don't rush. we have got plenty of time. edward lawrence from our sister network and fox business is live at a station in alexandria a virginia. hey, edward, what is going on behind you? >> yeah, hey, brian, you know, this station actually ran out of gas yesterday. today, oh, wow, this line goes all the way through the parking lot here and it's already, you know, very early in the morning. just after 7:00. this is one of the victims of that colonial pipeline, 7% of the gas stations in all, the state of virginia were out of gas yesterday. they saw shortages across the eastern seaboard from washington, d.c. all the way down to florida. we do have video from asheville, north carolina. we can see the line going for a mile, at least half a mile to a mile looking for gas at stations making sure they run out. with this spike in demand, you are seeing gas prices also spike. the gas prices has risen to the

highest level since november of 2014. no gas is currently flowing through that pipeline, still one industry consultant tells me that 2.5 million barrels a day of gasoline is supplied through that pipeline. that's 45% of the east coast fuels that come through there. the company is saying they could have supplies back by the end of this week. industry insiders say this is a wake-up call. listen. >> i think incident is a reminder of two things. first, the importance of our critical infrastructure and, second, the importance of strengthening our cybersecurity. not just within the oil and gas and energy sectors but really across our economy. >> you know, it's not just cars that have been affected. airlines, long haul flights. two of them specifically from american airlines going from charlotte to honolulu and charlotte to london had to make a second stop. they added that in order to get

gas at an area that did not have a shortage. so, again, we will see long lines here up and down the eastern seaboard. back to you. ainsley: that's already a long flight. those folks have to step several times on the way to vacation. people can't get gas to their cars. steve: they can't top off the tank on the plane. thanks, edward. the reason there are such long lines is because people are seeing the news oh, there is a pipeline disruption, so gas stations for the most part are selling tree or four times as much gas today than they were last week, for instance, so there is as it says right there, panic at the pump. so what they are doing right now, to make up for -- to get the capacity to us, they are using 10,000 trucks. so instead of one pipe. they are using 10,000 trucks to haul the fuel every at a to make up for the shutdown. environmentalists who supported joe biden cannot like the fact that instead of one pipeline they're using 10,000 trucks.

maybe we need more pipelines. ainsley: this shows you how important they are. steve: yeah. brian: absolutely. you have a pipeline that splice 45% of all the gas, deville and oil for the east coast and, yeah, it's just down. so people are panicking. also, the 8% of the stations have one out of gas in north carolina. jennifer granholm who is as green as it gets is the energy secretary was forced to say this because this thing called logic creeped into her dialogue. listen. >> what is the feasibility of using railcars to transport fuel into the affected area? i know that's being looked at. >> yeah, the do. >> it is looking at that and so we will have to wait until their analysis is done. there may or may not be the right railcars. may not be the deep water ports available for the jones act to be able to respond. this is why we have doubled down on ensuring that there is an

ability to truck oil in, gas in. but it's -- the pipe is the best way to go and so that's why hopefully this company, colonial, will, in fact, be able to restore operations by the end of the week as they have said. ainsley: pipe is the best way to go. brian: pipe is the best way to go. ainsley: why did they close the keystone. steve: apparently that wasn't the best way until there was a problem. ainsley: until they needed it. brian: amazing. this darkside ransomware organization was able to capitalize, they believe, on the weakness of this pipeline because they are using old microsoft software. can you believe this? with a private company, colonial, with all this responsibility, which revolves around our energy, which is our national security they didn't update their cyber protection. this is where the government has got to be involved there has got to be guidelines that make companies like this watch their own backs because eventually it

blows up on us. how many others don't haven't upgraded their cybersecurity? ainsley: remember what we saw when all the electricity was shut down in texas because wind turbines? they are improving their systems now because of that failure. now, all of these pipeline companies needs to take notice of this and you need to update all of your software because it is a weakness. and, yes, it's affecting families in georgia and south carolina and north carolina, all the way up the east coast. but then the global perspective that brian was talking about earlier this makes us look so vulnerable and so weak. brian: we are. ainsley: we need to update all of our software. steve: when you think about what happened in texas that was the electric grid and infrastructure. when you think about what is happening with the pipeline, that's the infrastructure yesterday peter doocy asked. one pipeline goes down and suddenly a thousand gas stations are out of gas. maybe we need more pipelines,

here's peter. it. >> is the white house thinking will new pipeline projects one important one goes offline. >> we analyze the economic impact as well as the environmental impact. that will certainly be the case. we look at each pipeline project individually. >> is the solution for this pipeline going offline is for oil producers to start using railcars and oil tankers and floating storage epa start letting gas stations sell lower quality fuel that is not as clean-burning. >> peter, i think what the president is trying to too in this moment in time is ensure that the american people know that we're going to work to address this current challenge: steve: yeah, one other thing yesterday at the white house at the present think national security ann knewberger talking about ransomware whether or not colonial should pay the ransom. she said the company has to

decide. the administration has not told the company whether or not they should pay the ransom. that's the wrong answer. the correct answer, according to the fbi, is you don't pay because you don't want to make the crime profitable by paying up. so, the administration is being scrutinized and criticized for giving the wrong answer. what do you mean it's up to the company? the fbi and the federal government's official position is don't pay. brian: the gru by the way according to politico the foreign intelligence arm of the russian government who vehemently deny they have had a role here. are you kidding me? able to operate inside russia and vladimir putin didn't okay it? you have got to be kidding. darkside developers which we appreciate you dressing like your organization's mission statement, they say we want to distance ourself from this whole operation. we believe this was an affiliate of ours. okay. too late. it's not going to happen. do you know how they pay their fees? they pay it in bit coin.

>> what i meant is precisely that, the border is closed. we are expelling single adults and families under the title 42 authority that rests with the center for disease control. and we decided as an administration in furtherance of the president's direction, to administer our immigration laws of this country in an orderly and safe and humane way that we'll not expel unaccompanied children. brian: i mean it's unbelievable the southwest border encounters are up 944%. when it comes to unaccompanied children, we are over 20,000 scattered somewhere in this country. steve: hidden. brian: and as much as we love kids, especially when you get a chance to see them upclose and we are watching them poor across our border from haiti, from venezuela, all across. why would they do that? why would they take this risk? because we don't expel kids. do you know what that's saying to parents in honduras and the

triangle countries and everywhere else? now is the time to send them. we don't know how long this policy will stay in place. they are putting kids in peril, human traffickers. we are just getting the ones who make it can you imagine how many along the trail don't? horrific death because we are irresponsibly saying if you come, you can stay. steve: what are you going to believe? what the administration is telling us because they have got -- they think they have got really good message control for the most part they do. but, we have got cameras on the southern border. we have got cameras in del rio, texas, taking pictures of all those migrants coming across. that's why peter asked the secretary of homeland security that question. he said the border is closed. clearly the border is not closed because we had the mayor of del rio, texas on with us about an hour ago. and he said with all due respect, what the secretary just said is ridiculous. >> they keep telling us that the border is under control and i simply do not understand how

393% increase in year alone. last year we had 19724 captures at this point. and right now we are at 97,398. i simply do not understand how that is under control there has continued to be just extensions of fixes with using bandaids. i mean you have a bursted pipe in the middle of your kitchen flooding not only your house but the entire neighborhood it appears that they are just using duct tape to fix it you have got fix the source. turn off the water. steve: i wish he was right. duct tape can fix so many things in case. in this case i don't think it will work down there. the administration needs to have a plan the mayor says they just don't have it. ainsley: i can't wrap my head around the problem with the children. parents just letting their kids that are -- five little girls found on that man's property the rancher down in texas. three of them were from honduras and two from guatemala. brian: let your kids go by themselves a child abuse.

ainsley: use them as pawns to let your family get in the country. 11 month old. the oldest one in this group was 7 years old. they are just letting them come over? he thought one of them was dead. steve: with the 20,000 kids in u.s. custody in facilities that have no oversight from state and local regulators, you know, there are some parents, according to lawyers, who are looking for their kids, their kids are in the u.s. system and they cannot find them. if this were happening during the trump days, do you think that would be a big story? it would be 6 inches letters on the cover of the "new york times." ainsley: did you see the video? a lot of people were dressed, it looked like in clean clothes. i saw coats and jackets. steve: right. it didn't look like they were across the dessert. ainsley: three different countries to get to america. >> ains. brian: you know liz cheney has been clashing with republican leadership and been very critical of president trump's term over the last four years, specifically january 6th.

because of that even though she got a thumbs up vote a month ago, her criticism has continued. they feel as though she should be a valuable member of the party but she should not be in leadership. she is about to be voted out today. she voted with the president over 90% of the time. she is conservative, and she is tough and she is smart. but she just doesn't agree the president should have a role in the future of the party. and that is not where the party is at right now. but she took yesterday, took some time to eviscerate those who stand up with donald trump. listen. >> this is not about policy. this is not about partisanship. this is about our duty as americans. remaining silent and ignoring the lie emboldens the liar. i will not participate in that i will not sit back and watch in silence while others lead our party down a path that abandons the rule of law and joins the former president's crusade to undermine our democracy. steve: and she was very clear

she thinks that americans have a right to know what happened on january 6th. they have a right to know what happened during the election. she pointed out that the trump campaign did challenge the election results in court but were unsuccessful. and, in fact, she talked a little bit about how the trump department of justice investigated the suggestion of fraud and could not find any. it. ainsley: chris christie who used to be the governor of new jersey weighed in on this about the fight between liz cheney and a lot of republicans want elise stefanik from new york. steve: she is going to get it. ainsley: listen to this. >> pretty clear to me that liz cheney doesn't want to be in leadership anymore. i think the stuff she has been doing is telling everybody that she doesn't want to be in leadership anymore. she won a vote previously by a rather large margin and then continued to try to pick fights with people inside the caucus. that's not the way you stay leader of the caucus. i think elise stefanik, let's remember something, brian, she comes from a swing district in new york state.

obama won that district twice. and trump won it twice. this is a very swing district. i think elise is going to bring great vision, great understanding from her constituents and a new voice into the leadership group. i think that's a good thing for republicans. i think she will win the election and i think she will be a very good leader. i have nothing against liz cheney as a person but it's clear to me she doesn't want to be in leadership anymore. we want people who want to be there and i think elise wants to be there. brian: whatever you think of president trump look at his agenda compared to what we have been through over the last 1 0 days. look what's happening internationally and look what's happening in your economy, gas prices, lumber, everything you do has been affected in 120 days, because you don't like his tweets you are going and saying i would rather be with joe biden. ainsley: exactly. brian: can't be republican see what joe biden has done and say okay it's better. ainsley: democrats have this ability that they all work together. even if they are really progressive or even if they are real moderate they are all in it together. these republicans fighting within the party, it does no one

you know you barely even need a study because virologists were saying very early on that the open air quickly diffuses the virus. they were saying very early on what we have known all along. if you look at the actual study in the journal of infectious diseases it's closer to 0.01%. one in 1,000. that's of cases that you could possibly trace to outdoor transmission. the author of that study has even said my study has been misinterpreted. ainsley: let's talk about what happened with rand paul and dr. fauci. i want to play this exchange because rand paul is accusing the nih of funding risky chinese research that could have led to this global pandemic. listen to this exchange. >> dr. fauci, do you still support funding of the nih funding of the lab in wuhan? >> senator paul, with all due respect, you are entirely and completely incorrect. >> government scientists like

trying to evaluate what these viruses are? look, ainsley, there are a million viruses on planet earth and less than 1% cross over into human beings, why are we funding research to look at this in china when we know lab accidents are common, especially with respiratory viruses. i think people have a right to be upset right now. ainsley: dr. makary, thanks so much for being with us. >> thanks, ainsley. ainsley: you are welcome. janice has the forecast. hey, janice. janice: worried about the threat strong to severe storms again today along the gulf coast. hundreds of reports of hail and damaging winds yesterday and unofficial report of a tornado around the new orleans area. so we are concerned about this. we already have several severe thunderstorm warnings in effect for the florida panhandle and the potential for flash flooding in some of these areas as the ground is saturated. we have got this frontal boundary bringing in all of this moisture from the gulf of mexico. so the potential for flooding is going to be imminent, especially over the next couple of hours. we will keep you up to date.

football team. brian: right. it's just hard to believe that aaron rogers is going to play again. he pretty much made it clear he wants people fired. he wants out. so i think the hall of famer is going to be elsewhere. don't you think? >> no, no. they need to work out their differences. you know, they can sit down like grown men and say hey, what. brian: they are not gonna. >> i hope they do. brian: they are not though. philadelphia at atlanta. philadelphia has revamped their entire front office and coach and atlanta is sticking with their 36-year-old quarterback, right? >> yeah. philadelphia is still an outstanding football team but atlanta, i think with matt ryan, even though he is an older quarterback, i think he is still one of the better quarterbacks in the league. then he has that rookie kyle pitts. he probably, you know, could be the rookie of the year, sensational receiver. ainsley: what about minnesota at cincinnati? i though they are playing 1:00

because they use a microsoft protection device, cybersecurity , that is they determined outdated. who would ever leave a business so vulnerable that means so much to our country, our government has got to come in and provide some criteria and punch some things to do list before they ever -- ainsley: unfortunately we have to start thinking that way, that we could be attacked we have to start up dating our software and our security. steve: sure. ainsley: there are bad people out there that want to hurt us and america. we're seeing that right now. brian: russians. steve: the reason they are able to do it is because they float around in the dark web, they get paid in bitcoin, and it's very lucrative, because, you know, the average ransomware attack, a business might pay anywhere from a couple hundred thousand dollars to millions of dollars to get the information back online because essentially they're trusting this organized crime outfit online to, what

they say is okay, we will give you an encryption code so that you can put it into your computer and then you've got all your files back, but you're trusting the people who brought you to your knees. that is why the fbi always says don't pay them. people do wind up paying them. you shouldn't ever say in public , because that's just going to wind up with more people doing it, but it has led to these gas lines and when you look at the states, and the panic at the pump it's because so many people are freaked out. am i going to run out of gas? i'll go top off my tank and that's why gas stations are wind ing up with lines like that. ainsley: people are waiting hours in line. i was talking to one of my closest friends i grew up with she's in atlanta and she was picking her kids up going to different gas stations she says oh, no this one doesn't have gas either. do you all have gas? no, go to the next one. she lives in georgia so look, 10.4% of the gas in georgia is affected by this pipeline, alabama 1.1%, tennessee 1%,

south carolina 8.3%, north carolina the most, 16%, florida 3.4% and virginia 10.2% and maryland 1.6. brian: you got 1,000 gas stations across several states including florida declaring a state of emergency, along with three other governors, our republican governor brian kemp says i'm going to take out the gas tax make this a little bit more affordable. republican south carolina governor henry mcmaster announced he will not declare a new state of emergency because the state was already in one due to the covid-19 pandemic, but you understand, this is something that you think the biden administration be all over, they said it be no problem , but obviously, this is a real problem and the people that did it, to politico lit it are affiliated with the gsu, which is the foreign intelligence arm of the russian government, if they didn't okay it, it wouldn't be okay, it wouldn't have been done. the dark side developers didn't respond to a request. they clicked on press on their website, and they put a question

to them, and they appear to be distancing themselves from the colonial attack and they blame it on a dark side affiliate so dark side has some affiliates that might have done something too dark for dark side ainsley: when they get discovered and close down it goes to another affiliate. brian: i'm not saying i believe it but the fact they are an organization with a press dropdown is a little disconcerting. ainsley: oh, yeah they have a help line you can call and talk to their help loin and colonial is saying they are going to try to repair this and get everything back online by the end of the week, but then gas buddy is saying that fuel costs could reach $3 a gallon within the next week. steve: right, call their help desk and complain about that. we're about to show you some drivers in louden county, virginia just to the west of washington d.c., and it's interesting. sara carter talks to them. they're in line waiting for gas, and when you listen to the last guy, i want you to think about what he says about who is to

blame, because we've got another explanation for that, coming up after this. >> it's crazy. i was told last night gas was going up $0.20 a gallon so i filled all of my vehicles up and all my gas cans and now today there's no gas. >> my mother-in-law actually text me and said, like, watch out there's going to be a gas shortage now and it's like oh, i don't think, that sounds crazy, but that is in fact what's happening. >> who do you blame for all of this? >> president of the united states. >> is there a gas station i've been at today? >> how long do you think you have left here? >> the way this is going we'll run out of gas tonight if i stay open all night. >> any message for president biden? >> he wouldn't understand what i'm talking about. >> who do you blame for all of this? >> [laughter] biden. sorry. steve: well -- ainsley: the guy before him, he won't understand what i'm talking about. steve: those two people blame

joe biden, the president of the united states, and ric grenell the former acting director of national intelligence, also does, he said this is an intel failure by the biden administration and now impacting millions of americans. millions of people are worried they are going to run out of gas because somehow, this foreign entity that's organized crime outfit was able to reach indoor internet across the atlantic or the pacific, don't know, or maybe across the arctic, and got into our computer system. how is that possible? ainsley: it looks like the state affected the most as we said is north carolina and lara trump, fox news contributor and our friend, she's from north carolina, harry reed a how is this affecting your family? >> it's, you know, it's terrible for the state of north carolina as you guys pointed out it's the worst affected state of all of them. i actually talked to my mom yesterday, and she told me she didn't even leave the house because who wants to go waste gas if you don't have to, nobody wants to wait in these lines. it's really scary though, guys,

this is happening in the first four months of the biden presidency. think about the fact that under my father-in-law, under president donald trump, not only were we energy-independent, we were a net energy exporter and i used to talk about this all the time on the campaign trail. if we were no longer reliant on the middle east, we were no longer reliant on russia for anything on the world stage that gave us a much better footing and now, here we are with gas shortages, it is insane it's really really scary. steve: well, and think about it. speaking of the biden administration, it was in the first week that joe biden pulled the plug on the keystone xl pipeline. fast forward to now where there's 1,000 gas stations out of gas, people are panic-buying, maybe, lara, we need more pipelines and not less. >> yeah, well, you're absolutely right. i think it was day one, i think that might have been his first executive order as president of

the united states was canceling the xl keystone pipeline. obviously, that put, you know, thousands and thousands of workers out of jobs and people are still having a problem finding jobs but think about the implications on a bigger scale. think about what this does, in the eyes of the world, for america, if i were somebody, god forbid, that was looking to cause problems in our country, cause harm to americans, you see how easy this is and where is joe biden on this? why hasn't he come out and made some big sweeping statement about how they'll get to the bottom of this , this this will never happen again in america. it's really crazy that you really haven't heard that much and they don't really have a great solution. well it'll figure itself out. well that's not good enough for the american people. brian: don't kick out a diplomat. start holding on to their bank accounts because they have bad money all over the world, and that's the only thing they will understand. meanwhile at 10 minutes after the hour something you're very familiar with is dr. fauci.

he comes off as somebody a political but man is he political. remember i used to contradict president trump every chance he could, he would hop on a talk show or do it with him in a room now all of a sudden dr. fauci finds himself under scrutiny as senator rand paul wasn't talking about masks, but the origins of this virus. why aren't people more curious and what did you know about the wuhan lab and what did the nih give the wuhan lab? listen to this clash. >> dr. fauci, do you still support funding of the nih funding of the lab in wuhan? >> senator paul, with all due respect, you are entirely and completely incorrect. >> government scientists like yourself who favor gain of function -- >> i don't favor gain of function research. that are not correct. >> were you in front of this group categorically say that the covid-19 could not have occurred through serial passage in a laboratory?

>> i do not have any accounting of what the chinese may have done. brian: do you have any opinion, i'm not sure you're in on something as high level as this , but what anthony fauci and the nih contributed to the wuhan lab or was he going through a third party who would contribute to this wuhan lab? >> well i think, i have a lot of questions. i think a lot of americans continue to have a lot of questions. the irony here is that rand paul , don't forget senator paul was actually a doctor. that's who he is, but it seems like instead of him being the bigger politician as a senator. dr. fauci turned out to be probably the bigger politician here to your point before you played that clip. look, we never want to find ourselves in a position like this again. we never want to have to go through this as america. this has been a terrible time. the past year we are still obviously not back to normal. things are still, kids are still not back in school.

businesses are still not open. we should know the origins of this and we should know what role people, like dr. anthony fa uci, whose been in his position for a very long time possibly played in funding that could have contributed to this virus. ainsley: i just hope american dollars were not used for this type of research. brian: i just think we should be all hands-on deck to find out the answers why this is a global issue, they have to come clean. the chinese president lied to president trump and said this doesn't have human-to-human transfer and this will go away in the spring. he said that to president trump personally, so right there, his credibility is gone forever. ainsley: dr. makary, we had him on earlier, and he's saying why are we testing different bats and different coronavirus types or different viruses in other countries? because it's too dangerous they've had so many mishaps and leaks and spills and it's just too dangerous to even test it. look what's happened as a result brian: meanwhile -- >> it's really upsetting and

look i think we should also allow countries to send people in themselves to this lab and check it out. we shouldn't be relying on the world health organization as we know, they have not been fully honest with a lot of things so let's allow people to go in there and get answers. steve: so many people have died, absolutely we need to know what happened. all right, later today, i think this morning, in fact, there's going to be a house vote with the republicans on whether or not liz cheney is going to keep her leadership seat. she's the number three most powerful person in the republican party in the house. she took to the floor yesterday to defend her stance on your father-in-law, former president trump. she said that america should know what happened on january 6, and with the election as well, and she is not going to remain silent, regardless of where she is. here is liz cheney. >> this is not about policy.

this is not about partisanship. this is about our duty as americans. remaining silent and ignoring the lie en bold ens the liar. i will not participate in that. i will not sit back and watch in silence while others lead our party down a path that abandons the rule of law and joins the former president's crusade to undermine our democracy. steve: lara, last week we had kevin mccarthy on this program, and he said that he didn't lose confidence in her because she voted to impeach donald trump but instead, because where she is right now, she doesn't represent the views of the conference, and cannot lead and that sounds like why she will lose that job, and elise stefanik will wind up with it. >> yeah, well she really doesn't represent, i think, the views of most republicans out there. the views of our party, look there are 75 million americans out there that voted for

president donald trump that still have a lot of questions about this election. we can't just let it go. we can't just sweep it under the rug, and so whenever you stop representing the party that when again the third in leadership, you really probably shouldn't have a leadership role , so we'll see , obviously, what happens. i know they are going to vote on it but i think elise stefanik be incredible. she's been a great supporter of republican and conservative values a great supporter of my father-in-law, so, i'd be happy to see her take that position. brian: even though liz cheney was with the president 92% of the time and elise stefanik voted for the president 74% of the time with his votes and was against the wall. she was against the tax cut. that doesn't bother him? >> well, look. people have an opportunity to change their minds, and i think in recent months, you really heard her come out and be very very critical of the biden administration, very supportive of what president trump did, and say things like we have to get

back to the values that president trump tried to instill and the things he tried to do was obviously working for the american people. we have to have more people out there like that, pushing back and fighting for our country, fighting for patriots that love america because guys it's a really scary spot with democrats controlling the white house, the white house and the senate, i mean, we need people that are going to stand up and fight and that's exactly what i think she would do. steve: well, lara, good luck, we hope they fix this pipeline thing so your mom can leave the house. >> i'll fill you guys in next time. ainsley: thanks for coming on with us. let's hand it over to jillian. jillian: hello, good morning, that's right and let's begin with this. south carolina senator tim scott slamming the left calls to de fund the police. take a listen. >> the way ideal with defund the police is the dumbest thing i've ever heard in my whole life i grew up in a single parent household in poverty.

we always want police officers. jillian: the republican lawmaker says he's open to working with democrats to pass the george floyd police reform bill by the anniversary of floyd's death on may 25. >> senator chuck schumer is planning to introduce a marijuana bill that will not only legalize the drug but also expunge past records and the new york democrat saying he hopes the bill will get support from republicans and the house passed legislation to decriminalize the drug at the federal level in december. president biden signaled his support for decriminalizing marijuana. >> parents in south carolina can now opt their child out of wearing a mask in public schools south carolina governor henry mc master issuing the executive order but the south carolina department of education will still require face coverings on school buses and school facilit ies. >> and a moment during last night's mets/oils game. watch this. >> flashing one to center and that goes out more a warning track and he made the catch and

then he dropped it as he smacked the wall face first. he is hurt. jillian: i mean, we all feel that, right? look at this , new york vet albert almora jr. slamming full speed into the wall, while chasing a fly ball. he was able to walk off-the-field and will undergo more testing today, but i mean, you heard that. that is scary. steve: that is literally face- first. >> yes, it is. brian: one of the things he tweeted out jillian was "i caught the ball." jillian: he did. just though words. ainsley: when you watch football or baseball games they are just looking at the ball. they don't care if a guy is about to tackle them or they are about to slam into the wall. steve: it's their job. brian: it be nice if the guy next to him said look out for the wall. that be great. maybe he did. still ahead, -- ainsley: you'd have to scream it brian: as new video captures migrants crossing the rio grande into the u.s. , 20 governors are urging president biden to solve the border crisis now, governor bill lee and aza muchinson signed a letter and they will talk to

scheme behind every sign post. >> if it's true it's one of the worst crimes i've ever heard of. ainsley: nancy grace was able to speak to some of the victims for her show "crime stories" on fox nation and she joins us now. hey, nancy. >> good morning, thank you for inviting me and i've got to tell you something after speaking to these now-adult victims, they were not victims of child molestation. they are victims of the system and what happened to them. for instance, some of them, after putting their mother and their father behind bars enduring so much hardship, they tried to recan't but no one would listen and now as adults they have been carrying that around like a sack of rocks on their shoulders their whole life i put my mother behind bars, i lied as a four-year-old, a 9-year-old, an 11-year-old and they were actually told, if you don't confess, your parents molested you, you're not going to get to see your parents so confess, and you can get back with them so the children did,

and they still didn't get to be with their parents. ainsley: nancy 43 parents were incarcerated accused of the worst thing that you could be accused of as a parent, and it was all made up. how did all this happen? why did the kids so many of these kids do this? >> it's just so hard to believe but it started with one investigator detective perez he had a 40 hour training class in child molestation and then he rotated into that unit and when his foster daughter said she had been molested not by her mother and father, he went on a witch hunt. they did a drive-by, as it's called, went all through to the apple capitol of the world and to point out houses and his assistance where she had been molested and in the end, imagine , at supper time here at the table with your family and you, mommy, get hauled out and arrested for raping your child? that's what happened. it's like a nightmare, but it's

real. ainsley: so you interviewed a pastor's daughter who said, who talked about why she said her parents did this. she said she was brainwashed. let's watch a clip. >> we underwent different moments of brainwashing. we would go through segments where they would, you know, we'd spend 20 minutes, an hour, going over what i had to say and just painting this ugly gruesome picture of my parents. if you did not say what they wanted you to say, you definitely seeked some punishment. ainsley: nancy how long did the parents serve behind bars before the truth came out? >> some of them are behind bars as long as three years, and can i tell you what i think is the worst part? these children, i spoken to many of them off camera for a long time. they turned into alcoholics, drug abusers, were promiscuous sexually. they hate themselves so much,

the degree of self-loathing. i've never seen anything like it because of what they did to their parents. they were just puppets, tools of this investigator. ainsley: did anything happen to them? >> he died at age 60. i can't put him in jail now. ainsley: nancy thank you so much >> thank you. ainsley: catch the unbelievable true story "in the valley of sin " it's available now on fox nation with a new episode dropping every day this week sign up for fox nation now to see this and to see crime stories plus get exclusive access to other original content and events, and your favorite fox personalities on any device. it is 28 minutes after the top of the hour and israel hits hamas hard in gaza during a day of deadly rocket attacks. douglas murray is calling out iran who he says is behind the escalation and he will explain it, next.

>> we're going to have to see , aren't we, and the world is watching. like many journalists who covered this , who have seen firsthand the effects on israel, jihad like those of hamas, firing rockets into israel, like many journalists, i've seen it up close and i've seen it firsthand and i know, as everyone in the region does, what is happening here. hamas, and islamic jihad and other groups, fire rockets into israel, israel responds, and then much of the world's media blames israel for responding. many politicians across the world, including nfb american congress do the same thing. they say how dare israel respond to people firing rockets into their territory, and so it's a very important moment when the american president should make it clear that there is just no equivalent at all to be drawn none at all, between a group that fires rockets into civilian

territory, and the state trying to defend its people from those rockets. it's a very important thing to remind people of. brian: nancy pelosi makes a statement in support of israel but the squad doesn't in various members aren't in support of it but in the big picture, douglas, who finances most of those rockets? iran. aren't we trying to be nice to iran and vienna? please let us back into that deal, it was so great when we were there. what has kindness gotten us? >> that's right. this was confirmed, by the way, overnight. a spokesperson for islamic jihad in the gaza who have been firing many rockets thanks to iran for the much higher quality of rocket which they've got at the moment, thanks to the iranians, islamic jihad hamas have gotten a better quality of rocket and you can see the effects of that over the skies of israel. the footage of the night is just terrifying. the interception the israelis have to fire, all crashing with the missiles fired from gaza by

these groups. the rockets are better this time because iran has been sending better rockets, and if america and the rest of the international community think that iran can just be allowed to get away with this , then they will get away with a lot more down the road. iran is testing everybody and primarily at the moment, they are testing the united states. what does the united states commitment to israel in the region really mean now? it has been fairly quiet since 2014, fairly quiet by the standards of the region. this is a very early and very tricky test for the biden administration. we'll see whether they pass that test or not, but the consequences of failing are very severe. brian: and the abraham accords with those deals recognizing israel in return for trade with these other arab nations and saudi arabia was on the doorstep of doing that, but president trump did not win re-election, so now they re-approached iran. keep an eye on what goes on there. it's easy to ignore but don't

take your eye off of it, it's too important, douglas thanks for sitting at the table for us, appreciate it. >> great pleasure. brian: coming up straight ahead , panic at the pump. with states across the east coast reporting gas shortages following the colonial pipeline cyberattack several states including tennessee and arkansas remain under a regional emergency declaration governors bill lee and asa hutchinson will join us next with an update and from our friends at fox bet download the app and play for a chance to win $10,000, predict six outcomes and fox bet super six quiz show and entertainment to sports, download the fox bet super 6 app right now. my nunormal? fewer asthma attacks with nucala. a once-monthly add-on injection for severe eosinophilic asthma. nucala reduces eosinophils, a key cause of severe asthma. nucala is not for sudden breathing problems. allergic reactions can occur. get help right away for swelling of face, mouth, tongue or trouble breathing. infections that can cause shingles have occurred. don't stop steroids unless told by your doctor.

and hording it? grady trimble from our sister network fox business is live at chicago's o'hare airport. hey, grady. reporter: good morning, steve, ainsley, and brian. the biggest impact right now as far as the airlines go is american airlines. they've added stops to two daily long-haul flights out of charlotte that would normally be non-stop, but they now need to stop and get fuel. i talked to delta and united they tell me no impact at this time. the biggest fuel crunch right now is still at gas pumps as people continue to panic. gas buddy says nearly three- quarters of all stations in the raleigh and charlotte metro areas have no gas, nearly 60% of stations in the atlanta metro area are without gas, and the biggest problem right now, according to gas buddy, is there are not enough tank truck driver s to carry fuel to those stations. the pipeline outage is causing gas prices to sky rocket, all along the east coast, with

prices up between $0.07 and $ 0.08 in many of those states as governors from florida all the way up to virginia are calling states of emergency because of this fuel crunch that they are experiencing right now, and of course, you don't need to hear it from me, but the timing is terrible, as we're just a few weeks away from memorial day and people are expected to hit the roads by the millions. guys? ainsley: well hopefully, the goal is, according to colonial, to open up by the end of the week so hopefully they can fix this problem before the holiday weekend. thank you so much, grady. steve: they just need more drivers we just heard. ainsley: right. those gas short as clarissa are forcing some governors to declare a state of emergency, while at least 17 states and d.c. remain under a regional emergency declaration. steve: joining us right now with the impact in their states we've got tennessee governor bill lee and arkansas governor asas hutchinson. guys good morning to you. governor lee let's start with you. there in tennessee, i know that this particular pipeline does

pass through tennessee, but joe biden pulled the plug on the keystone pipeline first day in office. maybe we need more pipelines not less. >> well we certainly need to protect the infrastructure that we have in this country, and we need to utilize these pipelines. they are lifelines and we see what happens when they're interrupted, so we need to continue to expand the use and expand our infrastructure, energy infrastructure. we now can see what we ought to be using infrastructure dollars on, and that's the protection of this infrastructure. brian: governor hutchinson, how have you guys been affected? what have you told your people? obviously, every state, every american has been through a lot already. >> well first of all, don't panic buy. we hope this is short-lived. we want more clarity from colonial, hopefully that can get started back in terms of the pipeline by this weekend, it's critical that they focus on that, but in terms of what we're

doing here in arkansas, we're trying to aid the regional supply network because the pipeline does not come through arkansas, but we're trying to make sure we have the drivers that we have the waivers so we can transport gasoline to where it needs to be in the marketplace. governor lee is absolutely right we've got to do two things here. one, invest more in cybersecurity but secondly, we have to have alternative supplies and alternative pipelines. such a large percent of the fuel goes through this pipeline on the east coast. we need to have alternative routes in advance of that type of infrastructure. brian: it's just unbelievable they say the new york times reporting today that there's a lack of overall cybersecurity sophistication. how does that happen? we have to find a way to protect these private companies because it means so much to the public. >> you know, we think -- brian: governor lee, you want to take that? >> well we've seen this before. we've had interruptions before,

it feels a little bit like the 70s in fact. start to see gas lines, the music is better, was better back then than it is now, but we had this problem before. we should be investing in what we know has been a problem in the past and it's going to be a problem in the future and invest ing our infrastructure dollars into cybersecurity is critical importance. steve: he's right about the music back in the 70s. ainsley: governors i know both of you were involved in writing this letter. there have been 20 governors that wrote a letter to joe biden , president biden, and to our vice president, kamala harris, to take immediate action on the border crisis and you all write that the crisis is too big to ignore is now spilling over the border into other states and all of our states. it's a problem for all of america, it's not just arizona and texas and california. governor hutchinson why did you want to be a part of this? tell us how it's affecting your state. >> well i served in homeland security. i had a responsibility for

border security and i know how tough it is, but it starts with having the right rhetoric, the right position and i know we want to be compassionate but the best compassionate response is to say we're going to secure the border , we're not going to allow the smugglers to bring them in and have a tough policy there, and that's the rhetoric that is not coming forth out of this administration. the reason for the letter is to remind them that it impacts all of our states. we're not a border state but it impacts us and we have to get control of that border and that's the purpose of that letter. steve: you know, governor lee, when donald trump was president, there was such an outcry from the political left about how they were managing our southern border. they are pretty much doing all the same stuff now, except it's now wide open but where is the outcry? >> yeah and when it is wide open, every one of our states is a border state. we have rolled back the

initiatives that we're beginning to really make progress in securing our border. we've stopped the security wall. we've stopped the , we don't enforce existing federal immigration laws, and what happens? we have the largest movement illegal movement across the border that we've seen in 20 years. in the month of march, 20,000 children, these are children un accompanied children that are being distributed to states all across this country. it's incentivizing the human trafficking of children, and it has to stop, and the only way to stop it is to secure the border. brian: what you got to do too is when they come you have to send them back, put them in place and send them back where they came from, but may mayorkas , the secretary says no, if a kid comes he stays, governor hutchinson is that a problem? >> well it is a problem because that simply tells the parents in central america, send your children here and you see the result of that.

it is a humanitarian crisis. our heartaches whenever we see these children coming across unaccompanied, and 70% of them are 15-plus years of age, but it's those younger ones that just breaks your heart and yes we've got to be able to send them back. we have to have mexico's cooperation, and we need to go back to some of the tougher trump policies. steve: hey, governor lee, before you go wanted to ask you about something else. in tennessee, i understand, 250,000 jobs are available and so you have announced an end to additional federal unemployment benefits. why is that? >> well, you know, it's another misguided federal policy that excessive unemployment insurance payments really paying people not to work is really slowing down our economy, so we are, you know, this pandemic is no longer a crisis. we need to get back to normal. we need to get back to business.

we need to move forward and our state, our businesses, are struggling to find workers, 250,000 jobs, as you say, we need to resolve that and part of the challenge is we have too many on unemployment that are receiving too high of a benefit so we're going to stop that. brian: you did that already, governor hutchinson. ainsley: governor, thank you so much for being with us have a good day. >> thank you, all. ainsley: you're welcome. janice has the forecast for us, hey, janice. >> janice: good morning. we're watching the potential for strong storms across the gulf coast. let's take a look at it we have this frontal boundary that's been in place over the last several days, and all along that frontal boundary has got all of this moisture coming in from the gulf of mexico and the potential for stronger storm s including tornadoes. we had a tornado report in and around the new orleans area and we have a severe thunderstorm watch infect for parts of the panhandle up towards alabama and also georgia, and a couple of severe storm warnings, so we'll have to keep an eye on that. also flooding concerns, several

inches of rain in a very short period of time, we have flash flood watches and warnings and where you see the red shaded areas those are flash flood warnings so flooding is imminent that's going to continue throughout the day today, and then the front will eventually come offshore, dryer conditions as we get into thursday and friday, which we will hopefully enjoy that, over the next couple of days but for now we're going to deal with the potential for some rainfall and then some patches of locally-heavy rain as well which could cause flash flooding. there's your forecast today looking good for much of the country with exception to that flooding and that front across the southeast, cool temperatures across the rockies, we will wind up that snow over colorado and very warm across the southwest today. steve, ainsley, brian, back to you. brian: all right, thank you very much, janice. hey let me tell you what's coming up straight ahead. brides and grooms are ready to finally say i do after a year " not yet but a ban on dancing, could ruin their big day. that would actually make my day and one bride suing the mayor so

they can dance, but first, let's check in with two people, who love to dance first dana perino will represent both of them. >> dana: i don't have my dance partner but the biden administration facing crisis and we'll talk about that and we have tyrus today as well so we'll see you at the top of the hour.

mayor of d.c. for allowing z umba and dance classes to operate while she can't have her guests dance at her wedding. bride-to-be margaret applebe joins us with her attorney daniel shore. daniel and margaret, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> good morning. steve: margaret, it's like a scene straight out of footloose. so the d.c. mayor says, margaret, go ahead and get married but you can't have any dancing. how do you feel about this? >> um, it's a disappointment to say the least. its been a long road with covid, obviously and my phd program going online and this was sort of just, i think, in a logical and not really scientific step. steve: right, well i understand that. now, daniel, according to the article i'm reading, the mayor's most recent executive order singles out and bans standing and dancing receptions at weddings, at the same time the order permits

fitness dance classes, recreational dance classes, and even exotic dances in front of up to 500 patrons at a strip club, so it seems like it's okay to go to a strip joint but it's not okay to dance at a wedding. >> yeah, steve, mayor bowser needs to catch up to where science and society are at. let's look around. as you point out, gyms are open, restaurants, businesses, kids are back in school and people are getting vaccinated. mayor bowser is continuing, even expanding these restrictions on people's freedoms. that's not justified by the science, or the law. steve: yeah, sure. so, margaret, as we anticipate the happy day, and the date is going to be june 6, tell me about the plans you had and how you've had to change them throughout the past year or so. >> sure, so we originally started with a guest list of about 175 people. that quickly changed as we sort of booked our venues and our

vendors in early march of last year. we had to cut our guest list to about 70 people. there's been numerous iterations of three dance floors, one dance floor, masks required, hand sanitizer, enforcing distancing. its been quite a journey that i hope ends soon. steve: no kidding. well, my wife and daughters have planned two weddings already during the pandemic, so i know exactly what you're going through, but you know, margaret the thing is, now that people are getting the vaccine, it's like okay, i'm going to feel okay about going to that wedding >> absolutely, i've been vaccinated, it's such a relief. most of our guests are and we are just looking forward to celebrating and this is just really unfortunate. steve: no kidding and daniel, you hope to win a case against the mayor, right? >> that's right. the mayor addressed this at her press conference on monday, and not to put too fine a point on it but she kind of danced around

the issue of whether she was going to withdraw this ban or not but as long as this ban and order remain in place we're going to continue to press forward with this lawsuit so margaret and all of these other couples have their rights respected by the mayor and the court. steve: right exactly and margaret you're hoping that the ban might be lifted by may 20, and if that happens, then you'll have dancing. >> yes, [laughter] it's going to be such a relief. i'm crossing my fingers and toes , yup. steve: i don't blame you, all right, margaret applebe and her attorney, daniel sure, thank you very mooch for joining us. >> thank you. steve: and good luck. thanks. steve: by the way, we did reach out to the d.c. mayor's office for a statement, they have not yet gotten back to us. ainsley and brian there's an article in the wall street journal that talks about now that people have gotten the vaccine people are suddenly saying do you know what? we can go ahead and book that wedding and now all of the wedding venues are all

booked up. brian: wow that's good news for the wedding business and catering people. by the way, there was doing a feature with lee bryce, he wrote a song "i don't dance" so that really fits in. steve: we want her to be able to dance. ainsley: brian hates dancing. brian: see you tonight at 7:00. ainsley: i miss dancing at weddings and miss going to weddings. have a great day, everyone. steve: see you tomorrow.
