lines, even fights breaking out fooling hack of the colonial pipeline. steve: griff jenkins is live as we learn it could be a couple more days before things return to normal. griff, this panic buying is so widespread in florida, which is not served by colonial, they are actually running out of gas there, too. because people are worried, you never know. griff: steve, ainsley, good morning. people are freaking out because fists flying over fuel source panic buying. look at this video. check out these two in raleigh, north carolina. fighting over fuel as more gas stations are closing in the southeast. if you look at the map, 69% of gas stations in north carolina closed. 52% in virginia. 48% in south carolina. 46% in georgia. all those states under a state of emergency. and long gas lines are becoming an all too common sight in all those states including florida as you mentioned.

steve. colonial pipeline says it started reopening operations but it will take several days for the supply chain to return to normal. as president biden says is he working as hard as he can to alleviate the shortages. >> i have, in the meantime, made it easier for us to have lifted some of the restrictions on the transportation of fuel. >> and he signed an executive order calling on the federal government in the private sector to partner in strengthening the nation's cyber security. but the administration's response is drawing criticism from republicans like kevin mccarthy. >> we have not seen gas lines what we are going to find rationing since carter as a president. those are things that we should be looking forward not backwards. >> mccarthy white house as the president continues push the president continues pushing massive 'plan. the bureau of labor statistics showing consumer prices jumped

last month 2.6% to 4.2% in april. rocking wall street. stocks closed down a second straight day yesterday plummeting another 700 points weapons. we will see if the president has anything to say about that today. he has remarks around noon today about the pipeline status and these now nationwide fuel shortages. steve, will, ainsley? ainsley: thank you, griff. dealing winflation and gas prices going up. the gas shortage, the low job numbers, the pandemic, the crisis at the border on and on and on. and as you said, people are panicking down in flocialtiond all over the country trying to get gas. my dad is irate because gas prices are through the roof now. first time been above $3 since 2001. steve: it is indeed. will: talk about the states this has had the largest impact, north carolina, virginia, georgia. talking about gas shortages up wards of 50%. we are seeing consequences. you mounted off a series of. it consequences of action, due

to government spending. neglecting and in fact shutting down pipelines like the keystone xl pipeline ultimately pays a price. neil crabtree is a laid off keystone pipeline worker. you can't assume we can go about like a bull in the china closet and think no china will ever break. watch. >> i hear a lot about we need to upgrade our cyber defenses but one thing i hope that we take away from this is just how important these pipelines are to our economy and the everyday life. losing this pipeline for only a week we have seen the consequences of it and like i said this was just a cyber attack and we were able to fix it a lot of these pipelines are aging. this particular pipeline is about 60 years old. could you imagine if this would have been some type of structural failure and this line was down for months or maybe even a year? it could have been disastrous. steve: it could have been disastrous. a lot of people are freaked out pause you are hearing well, the hackers are apparently from russia.

and you think well, wait a minute, shouldn't our federal government be protecting us from russia? we are learning a little more about this hacker group. apparently, according to the company. they are not going to pay the ransom. they say that and you wonder why that is. well, apparently, it appears that they were about to try to extort from colonial monday. ainsley: millions. steve: millions or who knows how much money exactly unless a fee was paid. a cyber security firm that colonial had hired realized they were able to trace the stolen data. the stuff that the bad guys stole from the colonial servers. they found it in a server here in new york city apparently. where it was just waiting for the hackers to then release. but apparently the cyber security company has able to turner off that server. so the bad guys were unable to release it so there is no reason

for them to pay the ransom. so that is why they are not paying the ransom. although yesterday we were telling you about an administration official who said, you know what? it's up to the companies whether or not they are going to pay the ransom. that is the wrong answer. the fbi is very clear. when you get a ransom ware demand, do not pay it because you pay it, and then they realize it's luke tia and they are just going to keep doing it. ainsley: not only is it causing panic buying, gas stations to run out of gas all over the southeast, but also it brings up that issue you need to make sure that these operations are safe so that other countries can't hack into our systems and cause us all pipelines to shut down. this shows you the importance of these pipelines. >> louisville. ainsley, you brought up the list of growing. russian hackers. you have to write it down because the list is getting so long. you have of course upflation rising 4%.

jobs jobless raising. it people don't tonight look for work. ainsley: they don't have to. so much money. will: centers for disease control credibility on the origin and the role the cdc played in the coronavirus. of course what's going on in israel. and then there is the border, steve and what's happening at our border. and the biden administration responding to this months long crisis now. steve: see, will, that is why -- these why the president is going to be talking about the pipeline today. because there are things where the administration they are really good at message control, unfortunately the administration says one thing and we see something completely different with our own with it eyes. you know, when it comes to the border. they say there is not a crisis counsel there. and we hear from the secretary of homeland security who says the border is closed. and yet we see with our own two eyes it looks like an invasion in some cases groups of 50, 60, 100 people are wading across the rio grande river where they are looking for border patrol so they can surrender so they can

be processed so the next thing you know they are in akron. ainsley: on day one we saw the president sign that executive order to stop the construction wall. well, when he did that, there are parts of the wall counsel in the rio grande valley 13.4-mile stretch down there where when that construction was stopped, the residents and the local officials are really worried about what this means for water safety and the levees down there. they have to go back. in the army corps of engineers is going to fix this one section of the wall because if they don't fix it, the community is worried about the water levee and the danger if they don't, you know, start this construction. steve: during the trump administration they took down about 13 miles of the border wall, such as it was. and took out apparently the levee. so the worry is that unless they replace that border wall levee, the folks throughout the rio grande valley are going to get

flooded out during flood season. the army corps of engineers yesterday put out a statement they said to be clear, wall construction remains paused. they are not going to build more wall. remains paused to extend permitted by law per the department of homeland security we have started critical work to repair the rio grande valley flood levee which was excavated to make way for border wall. they had to take it out to build the new wall and then there was a new change with the administration and there are these holes. this remediation work will not involve expanding the border barrier. will: they want to clarify that be very clear. steve: the headline was look, they started rebuilding the wall. will: joe biden made promises i won't build one more foot of wall. the point they want to emphasize is no we ever not going to build the very popular wall when you look at polling to help on this crisis which the biden administration is still ignoring the crisis. what are we at? what are the stems? half a million people possibly

cross the border at this point? mark brnovich, he was talking about this crisis of course ignored and because of that, of course, just getting worse. >> they have created a crisis, a catastrophe. we are on our way to a terrible tragedy biden done absolutely nothing. if this were a hurricane or wildfire or some natural disaster you have someone from the administration talking to people on the ground, talking to law enforcement, talking to the sheriffs, coordinating an effort to stop this crisis. but they are not. they're ignoring it and it's not going away. since vice president harris has become the quote, unquote czar. nearly 500,000 people are crossed the border illegally. that's like the entire city of kansas city or minneapolis crossing in just the past three months. steve: we had the mayor of del rio, texas and is he a democrat. he says he is trying to get the administration to focus on the problem down there, but they will not do it. so the headline today regarding

the border wall is they are replacing parts of the levee to stop the flood of water not the flood of people. ainsley: will went through that whole list of problems. and on that list is the school issue. a lot of parents still zooming with their kids at home, aren't able to go back to work. eastbay kindergarten teacher in the west contra costa school district in california he she decided they were able -- they went back to hybrid model but you could opt out. you didn't have to go back to school if you didn't feel safe. one kindergarten teacher said i'm going to continue to stay at home and teach from home over zoom or whatever system they are using. then she sent out an email to all the parents. steve: ainsley, she stays at home because of health reasons. ainsley: that's right. she sent out email to all the parents basically saying i'm jetting to have mexico for my son's wedding. we might have some classes some days. maybe other days we won't because of family activity and

traveling. this is a portion of the email she sent out. all splice and materials will be provided ahead of time for any class activities that will take place while i'm out of the country. please contact me ahead of time if you have concerns. wishing you a sunny week ahead. will: that's a little bit sunny week ahead as i'm in mexico as she has opted out from months for teaching kindergartens. ainsley: for mexico reasons. will: she can go to mexico for her child's begdz. one of the parents who have a child in that class said the following. i was very upset. i assumed she chose not to return to the classroom due to concerns about code. clearly this is not the case if she is traveling to mexico. by giving teachers the choice to return or not for any reason the district it is taking the choice away from so many children. are there are people out there, ainsley and steve who have a legitimate conservatorship about covid. the what this reveals is there is actually a lot of people taking advantage of the opportunity to sit at home -- by the way, they haven't been. they have been going tout

restaurants and doing whatever they want. this silted by her willingness and desire to fly off to mexico for a vacation while children are sitting at home and in this case going through a sink news learning. steve: it depends on my mother's health. didn't specify what was going on with her mother or whether the mother was even going to go -- the mother might actually be going to mexico with her. this teacher apparently by virtue of the fact there was such an explosion of anger by the parents, let me get this straight. she is going to mexico gone for 12 days while i'm trying to figure out a healthcare situation. apparently, as a teacher, if you are going to leave the country, have you got to actually get an official leave of absence from the school district. she did not do that. and so the superintendent is looking into the incident

because sounds like -- so many teachers just -- the rules. yeah, i'm going to be gone. i'm going to be in mexico. in this case it hit the fan. could be in trouble because you are supposed to ask first before you leave the country. just saying. one of those things crazy upside down world. ainsley: we can't comment on personnel issues but that any travel outside the country for any reason requires a leave of absence. steve: so let's see, how would you feel if it you are stuck at home, you would like to go to work but you can't find child care. got to be at home because your children have at home learning but at the same time, you would like to get your child back into the schools but you can't send them there because the teacher who is citing health reasons is not there she is in mexico. how would you feel? ainsley: didn't she know when she sent out that email there was going to be backlash? will: zero self-awareness.

ainsley: sorry, i can't teach your kid. i'm going to mexico. will: over to jillian who has more headlines. jillian: will, you look like you have a snazzy new hairstyle. may be the part. steve: how he looks on the couch. jillian: is that what it is? steve: it's couch hair. jillian: while you guys continue to debate that let me tell you what else is going on here. we do start with a fox news alert. a bullet proof vest is being credited with saving the life of one of new york's finest overnight. the officer shot three times while responding to a report of gunfire in brooklyn. new york city's mayor praising the officer a short time ago. take a listen. >> this is the kind of thing that we see that gives us a clear example of how much bravery, how much courage, how much devotion this takes to be out there in the middle of the night on a street protecting everybody else. jillian: the suspect was shot during an exchange of gunfire. a 14-year-old is accused in a

officers need to be more supported. some leadership. >> why are they doing this? what is the incentive. >> the incentive is to undermine government as we know it. >> when you hear comments like dismantle defund the police are they talking this folk on this lot? no, no, no. they want effective policing. constitutional and ethical policing. that's what they want. >> chief, you said i'm for reform if it makes sense. >> if it makes sense but, see, i don't like broad brushes you can't paint every police department the same. you can't say the entire profession is corrupt. >> what does that badge mean to you? >> public service. i work for the people. it's emotional day for me because i won't be wearing the badge i will continue to be in

public service. that's important for me but i feel like i need to take a much larger role. >> is there a time for new leadership? what say you? everything. >> i'm really thinking about the future. once i retire i am going to think about what my next step will be. >> what if the chief says he will run for governor. >> that will be a good thing. >> okay. i will take that. >> guys, i really enjoyed my time with the chief. one of the things i noticed on the ground is that the community loves him. one of the activists came up in the middle our interview and he said listen, me and you may not have seen eye to eye on every issue, but i'm really going to miss you. and he really got the respect of the community when he raided the be unit. he wants good cops and bad ones gone and wants to serve his community.

answered may just be the next governor of michigan, guys. steve: let's have a dollar bet. do you think he will run? >> i think he is going to rub. i will be back there to interview him when he announces. ainsley: he seems to be loved in that community. >> is he loved because he cleaned up that community. he has the respect of the community. as he said in the interview you cannot wait for there to be conflict to get involved. you have got to have the foundation already laid which is why detroit did not burn. stopped folks agitators outside of the town. will: he had is he is not done with public service. take on a much larger role. certainly sounds like one running for governor. lawrence: welcome back to the coach for the first time. will: thank you so much, lawrence. will: head over to janice dean who has our nation's weather? what's going on, janice? janice: good morning, good morning, everyone. a pretty good forecast.

steve: president biden signed stwrord strengthen seiber security defenses. earlier this week it deputy dept adviser suggested private companies could pay ransom demands. >> we recognize victims of cyberattacks often face a very difficult situation and they have to balance often the cost benefit when they have no choices when regard to paying private company and make their decision on paying a ransom. >> all about the pipeline. joining us now with analysis heritage foundation tech fellow kara frederick. kara, good morning to you. >> thanks for having me. >> she gave exactly the wrong answer because the fbi says never pay and she goes it's up to the company. if they pay, there is just going to be more ransomware out there. >> exactly. steve, in life engenders success. cyber crime is no different.

why long ago we didn't negotiate terrorists we send in the seals when there is a hostage. steve: exactly. >> we don't want these criminals to bank on their success and keep going. we have seen this happen. it's only gotten worse. ransomware demands were a few hundred dollars in bit coin since municipalities in the u.s. have paid throughout 2019 to 2020 to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars it's only gotten worse. yes, these companies face a tough choice but publicly advertising that dilemma from that specific podium just bad form. steve: sure, you look at where the pipeline runs and millions of americans have been impacted. but you just touched on something in that soundbite, kara. bit coin. this would not happen without the anonymity of bit coin. >> so bit coin is really interesting. i think there are new tech nickel solutions that involve chain of custody and involve secure communications one thing i do want to point out when it comes to that eo, they talked about end to end encryption.

true factor identification. if we can front load cyber defenses in that way. another thing is having a zero trust approach. not trusting that these people are shoring up systems federal vendors that work with the government. we need to make sure that we invest in cybersecurity you talked about bit coin, these new tech nickel dissolutions are going to go a long way with helping with individual freedoms to take to that level. they will go a long way in securing our communications and our transactions. steve: i'm sure the men and women at cyber command are trying to track down where these hackers are. we know it's probably in russia. for the average american when they hear that kara, you know, shouldn't the united states federal government be protecting us from russia? so it's like okay what's up with that? >> exactly. well, i think the trump administration went a long way in loosening some of the restrictions on these offensive cyber operations. that means we can impose costs

on nation states that are complicit in these attacks. steve: good. >> there is a spectrum of complicit when it comes to this. jason huey talks about the spectrum of national responsibility. sometimes cyber criminals operate within jurisdictions of nation states with explicit. sometimes they just have tacit approval. we need to hone down. they can't keep hiding down the problem of attribution. and we need to actually be aggressive and take it to these nation states because they are doing it on purpose even if they're using cyber criminals to do so. steve: i want them to track it down and get arrested and i want to see the perp walk on tv. that would be quite a message. kara frederick from heritage, thank you very much. >> thanks, steve. steve: straight ahead a former marine and meet virginia's nominee for governor hoping to bring new faces into the grand old party ♪ ♪ and you - yes, you!

gas weld. ainsley: we know someone who knows how to get a job mike rowe. steve: it's not a dirty job. we have been talking about how it's hard for employers to find somebody to work. it's even harder to find people who have a skill. and do you know what? with the gas prices right now with the gas shortages, they can't find enough truckers out there. we have 10% fewer truckers who haul the gas than we did a year ago. that's part of the problem. we will do a sector. will: can't find wait staff and truckers and find people to take jobs. while apparently confidence is high in joe biden's ability to lead. steve: well, this as the nation faces that pipeline crisis, terrible jobs number. a global pandemic violence in the middle east. a crisis at the southern border, trouble with russia. i could keep going on and on but this is only a three hour show. ainsley: gillian turner joins us

lye from the white house as democrats are rushing to back president biden during this crisis. good morning, jillian. >> good morning to you guys. so gas lines are getting longer. the prices are rising. more and more stations shutting down across the nation. the white house is really feeling the pressure build now hour by hour. this as multiple new states are under a state of emergency includes north and south carolina. georgia and virginia. as steve points out, it's far from the only crisis the biden administration is now scrambling to contain. take a listen to the press secretary. she knows it. >> that's what we are made for here. we certainly know that and the president knew from having served as vice president for 8 years that when you walk in and you are the leader of the free world. and overseeing a country that is still working its way through a pandemic and economic recovery that you have to be prepared to juggle multiple challenges. multiple crises at one time. and that's exactly what we're doing at this moment. >> half way across the world in israel where one of the united

states closest military and diplomatic allies is now under attack, president biden is insisting he is doing all he can. take a listen. >> israel has a right to defend itself and you have thousands of rockets flying in your territory. but, i had a conversation for a while with the prime minister of israel and i think that -- my hope is that we will see this coming to a conclusion sooner than later. >> republicans on capitol hill, including some of the key senators and foreign policy makers are now insisting that the president needs to take a step further on this issue. it's time for him to stop mediating between nations, they said, between israel and the palestinian territory. and it's time for him to take a firm stand on the side of israel. guys, bark to you. steve: all right, gillian turner, live on the north lawn. we thank you very much. what's going on right now is we have all these things we can see with our own two eyes. we can see the crisis on the

southern border and yet the administration says there is no crisis and then you have the secretary of homeland security saying the border is closed. and, yet, our fox cameras have caught these people just streaming over by the hundreds earlier this week. and then you have got what's going on with the pipeline and we can see with our own two eyes that this was a problem. and it sounds like it's coming from russia and people feel like shouldn't the united states be able to protect us from russia? and then you have got the jobs number where it was a huge miss. we thought we were going to hire a million people in the last month but they only hired a quarter of that number because of the stimulus. and, yet, joe biden says, do you know what? it has nothing to do with that we see one thing but we know with our eyes what they are telling us is not true. ainsley: i went to a restaurant yesterday and the service was so poor. steve: the service was good for the one guy. ainsley: we were giving him a pass we are just grateful that

these restaurants are open even though there aren't many servers in this restaurant and we are waiting forever just to take our order, our water glasses weren't full or what have you. we just said we are thankful for the people who are back to work and that these restaurants are open again. will: these are real world issues that people are experiencing in their daily lives. prices rising. inability or unwillingness to get staff out there to work your business. your children not in school. gas lines. these are real world issues while most in the mainstream media focus on the leadership change in the republican party. any excuse they can find to continue talking about president trump. they there may be, because reality has a way of imposing itself upon you, there may be some cracks in the mainstream media though because here's a couple of headlines in the "new york times" and "the washington post" that show, i don't know, growing skepticism towards the biden administration. "new york times," a misleading cdc number, that's talking about the number of outdoor coronavirus transmissions. steve: it's almost gobble get it outdoors. will: which we have known for

quite some time despite the cdc being back and forth actual numbers. ainsley: they said 10%, turns out it's less than 1%. will: no economic recovery. it's not a bust -- yet. steve: it's interesting you think the "new york times" and "the washington post," two of the mainstream media's biggest supporters of this administration now they are going hold on. keep in mind, the administration and we have been talking about this for months, they have been really good at message control. but the message is different. what we see with our eyes is different than what the administration is telling us. and "the washington post," on the op-ed pages, they say regarding, you know, it's not a bust yet. some workers, we were just talking about this, some workers are clearly staying on the sidelines because of the $300 federal unemployment supplements deter them from seeking service sector positions. mr. biden was wrong to dismiss that concern and remarks on tuesday. they go on to say that child

care is a problem. but, for "the washington post" to say joe biden was wrong, that's really something. that's different. ainsley: mark meadows said they need to plagiarize the trump book. need to do what he was doing as far as policies. he says 110 days marching toward disaster. jim jordan says if they keep doing this kind of thing, the republicans are going to take back the house in a year and a half. mark levin says this. joe biden a human pandemic from the border to it inflation, price of food and gas leap and price of toys and plastic and steel, go right down the list. he has opened the pandora's box to inflation that's a hell of a tough box to shut. but the democrats are used to these sort of things since they create inflation and recession and depressions all the time taking our money and money that doesn't even exist and throwing it all over the place to give money to its base as they follow

this marxist ideology of class warfare and oppression oppressor. will: meanwhile joe biden doesn't want to put himself or rather his administration, doesn't want to put joe biden into a situation where he has to answer for all these crises. steve: message control. will: have you seen it several times i'm going to get in trouble if i keep asking your questions. jen psaki was on david axelrod's podcast called the axe files she addressed this on whether or not they want joe biden going off script. >> that is not something we recommend. in fact, a lot of times we say don't take questions. you know, but is he going to do what he wants to do because he is the president of the united states. steve: right. exactly. so, you know, going back to message control. forget whatever your lying eyes are seeing. whatever we tell you is what you need to believe. and so that's why they don't want joe biden talking about the crisis at our southern border because he would say you are right. there is a crisis. but we're working on it or the

number of people who were taking the 300 extra dollars and not going to work, you are right. people are doing that, but we are working on it he doesn't want to have to answer those questions and, in fact, the reporters at the white house are frustrated. they are trying to get answers but joe biden wants to answer but somebody is saying mr. commander-in-chief, you simply can't do that. at least that's what it sounded like yesterday at the white house. look at this. >> thank you. >> what's your take on meeting, sir? were you optimistic coming out of it today? >> one of the 12 i have. pelosi schumer and the crew. >> infrastructure, sir. >> you guys are bad. i'm not supposed to be answering all these questions. i'm supposed to leave. i can't resist your questions. steve: i think it was last week he said they don't want me to answer any questions. i'm going to get in trouble. and it's like you are the leader of the free world who are you going to get in trouble with if you tell us the truth?

ainsley: i know. they are like oh, no. he wasn't supposed to tell the public that. that was for our little room. the. will: that sort of validates them keeping him trying to keep him on skip. joe biden is lean into the idea i'm a rogue. i'm going to do what i'm going to do. i'm going to get in trouble and somebody is going to chastise him. the concern is they are concerned about him going rogue or off script. steve: he might tell the truth. will: he might go into a corn pop story. ainsley: i wish he would. that would be fun. in loudoun county in virginia, there is this argument should would he be teaching critical race theory in our classroom. there are six poured members that folks who were against critical race theory in their children's classrooms are trying to recall. they want these individuals to be off of the school board because they don't agree with it. so they have put together this campaign. it's on on social media, this -- basically a commercial of why we are against these six individuals. because they don't want -- they don't want our teachers teaching our kids if you are white you need to apologize.

here's a mom in that school district. this is chantal cooper, she is a international airport loudoun county and pushing for the critical race theory to be off the docket in these classrooms. listen to this. >> cr. >> it is racist. it is abusive. it discriminates against one color. let me educate you. honest dialogue does not oppress. an honest dialogue does not indoctrinate hatred or injustice. we don't want your political advertisement to divide our children or belittle them. think twice before you indoctrinate such racist theory. steve: i believe she went on to critical race theory is not honest dialogue tactic used by hitler and the ku klux klan on slavery very many years ago to dumb down my ancestors so we would not think for ourselves. you cannot tell me what is or is not racist. look 59 me, she says. will: mrs. cooper is absolutely right. she is not guilty of being

hyperbolic. she is guilty of telling it exactly like it is. we all need to start telling like it is. make americans view each other through the prism of their skin color is racist be clear about that. those opposing critical race theory are on the side of equality. those pushing it are on the side of equity. they are on the side of racism. good for mrs. cooper for speaking plainly. ainsley: i want my daughter to not judge anyone based on the god made us beautiful in our own way. however you were created was perfect from god. he creativitied you that way. if we teach our children to love one another, despite the color of their kin, i mean, my daughter is 5. she doesn't even see color. and it's beautiful. i think if we raise our kids to think that way and not apologize because your skin is white or your skin is black or brown or whatever color it is. that just teaches love. that's the definition. steve: the school board says, look, critical race theory not

officially part of the curriculum; however, they say that during a recent training of teachers that included a discussion of systemic racism and bias. and that is where these parents heard things from their student children that felt that they were pushing critical race. we had a couple of members of the community of parents who are trying to recall the school poured members who are trying to push race to the forefront of the curriculum on "fox & friends first" earlier. they don't like anything about it and they are some of the people who are pushing back trying to recall members of the school board and get them off the board with some -- and replace them with somebody else. watch. >> they have books that are supposed to be teaching equity but what they are really teaching, you know, language that we can't say here, it's hard for parents to speak out if they don't know about it. very few parents know about these ridiculous books and the

ridiculous subject matter. >> they are tired of having this agenda placed on our children and they can't -- they can't continue to politicize our children. these are our kids and this is their education. and one more thing should begin to start state sponsored racism. do you know what else it is? it's unpopular. parents stood up against the school board allowing itself to make its way into the education and loudoun county. people do not want their children to be taught a racist ideology. we have to have the stront stand up against this small radical voice using fear tactics to force itself into our culture. steve: ultimately find out if loudoun county decides to have a recall election. according to their rules they

need to get valid signatures from 10% of the people to voted in the last election. we know that the opposition. the critics of critical race theory are going to show up in big numbers. the big question is how many people will show up to vote to promote critical race theory? essentially it becomes a referendum on whether they should teach that in their schools. we won't know that until after the recall election rules tabulated. it's going to be interesting. it's a referendum on race. ainsley: 17 minutes after the top of the hour and let's hand it over to jillian. jillian: good morning. let's begin with this story. the man wanted for shooting three people including a 4-year-old girl in times square is arrested in florida. u.s. marshals tracking down farrakhan mohammed at a mcdonald's outside jacksonville. a woman believed to be his girlfriend was also arrested as an accessory to his escape. mohammed will be extradited to new york facing attempted murder charges. two planes clyde mid-air over

minority you must be a democrat? >> well, you know, because it is evidentiary that there is some fact to that but we are moving away from that because we are understanding what we call the okeydoke is in play. i don't know if you all remember that ice cube had asked for a meeting with biden and he said later, see me later after the election. and he asked for the same meeting with donald trump. donald trump said let's meet now. and so, you see, we understand what's what. and we are not going to take it anymore. we are moving away. we are moving back, actually, to our roots. i just reminded our republican party that the very first republican convention after the civil war was held in virginia in a black church, in a black church. imagine that and so, we value everything that everybody else values and, in fact, it's not just black people who are coming back to the republican party, it is asians, and latinos. and i'm an immigrant so i

understand that experience as well. we want freedom. we want liberty. we don't want anyone to tell us what to do either. will: really quickly winsome i only have 30 seconds left. make the case to people who are conservative but don't yet realize they are republican. tell me how you make that case. >> because, you see, we want, again, school choice. we want to ensure that we're not trapped in schools that are pulling us down. we want to have the ability to move and put our children anywhere we want. we want safe neighborhoods. we do want our [inaudible] as well. we want everything that everybody else wants and we don't want to make anybody use us as our pawn. when i go to the polls, i don't want people to assume that i'm a democrat. we want political power. i have none if no one comes to me and asks me for my vote. will: same thing everyone wants respect as an individual. winsomesears we wish you luck.

of tank truck drivers to drive the fuel to the gas station. data shows up to 25% of trucks around the country are parked right now because there are not enough drivers to sit in the seats. here to discuss we have got rob the ceo of patriot transportation and brenda truck driver. it looks like you are in the driver's seat. where are you going right now. >> i'm not going anywhere right now. i'm parked. steve okay. you are parked. are you delivering a load for some place and what part of the country are you in right now. >> i will be. right now n south chicago which is in southern illinois and after this interview on my way to ohio. steve: what are you carrying today? >> it will be oil for fried foods. steve: rob, this has been a

problem for over a year. why is it so hard to find people to drive the trucks? >> well, steve, we are down about to about a third of the viable applicants that we had prior to covid. and there were drivers that left during covid and they just haven't returned for a myriad of reasons. and so, prior to the colonial pipeline situation, we were already having conversations and worried about what we're going to do to be able to cover demand for the summer travel season. so, it's not new for us. but it's the worst i have seen it and i have been in this business since 1984. steve: yeah, you know, you bring up something great. that is a good point. and that is during the summer driving season, this year we should see increased demand for oil because people have gotten shots and they are going to feel like driving around. so, rob, you know, traditionally, supply and demand would suggest that this would be the -- a great time for somebody who is interested in becoming a

driver to try to do it. so why aren't they? >> good question. i think there's other jobs available in certain segments that are maybe a little less weekend and nighttime heavy, but our drivers are home every day. they are making on the national basis 85 on average $85,000 a year. and with good benefits, good strong companies, and we have thousands and thousands of jobs available for truck drivers and dispatchers and technicians. we don't understand why they are not coming to these jobs. they are really good jobs and folks like brenda that are out there working safely on the roads and getting the products delivered, you could see what happened over the last few days and the lines at the gas stations. we need more people in these jobs. steve: absolutely. so, brenda, let's talk to you for anybody who is watching who might be interested in a job in the trucking industry. why do you love your job? >> oh, because i get to see the

country from a different seat. not the television. not the air. i get to see it from on the ground and i get to see how beautiful it is. steve: right. >> every day. steve: how do you explain the driver shortage, brenda? >> i think many people think that this is a hard job to do. and they are afraid of big trucks. pretty much. even when you are in cars you can see they are nervous when they're next to you. it's not as difficult as they think. they will get a little while and find out it's just as enjoyable as if they're out on a sunday drive. steve: there you go. the other thing, brenda, the fact that you are in that job and there is high demand for drivers, that's what i would call job security. >> exactly. it's definitely job security. it's been secure for me during the pandemic. steve: yeah. so, rob, for people who are watching, who might be looking for a job or might have somebody

in their family who is looking for work, obviously this is not one of those situations where people could make more money sitting on their couch. it is quite lucrative to get into the trucking industry. >> no question. there's thousands of jobs available. we're going to train you in the tank truck industry. we will train to you haul fuel. we will train to you haul other bulk materials. you will be at home every night. you are going to make a really nice wage. really good benefits. i think where we can get some help from the government is the trucking industry has been pushing to get 18 to 20-year-olds viable for commercial driver's license for a while now. they cannot get a driver's license for interstate commerce we need to be able to get those folks into the industry early. steve: right. >> as of right now they can't start driving a truck on interstate commerce until they are 21. steve: that's right. one of the problems with the

pipeline right now because they could not run the pipeline, they put 10,000 extra trucks on the road to try to move the oil but unfortunately not enough people are qualified to drive the trucks and that's why we did the segment today. rob, thank you very much for telling us about the industry, and brenda good luck on your ride across america today. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> have a good day. steve: brenda, you can start your engine and get back to work. 20 minutes newhouse now before the top of the hour. tragedy in florida. a 13-year-old girl murdered and the suspect charged just 14 years old. up next, we will talk to the sheriff about the chill photo he posted when he was taken in for posted when he was taken in for questioning. ♪ sensodyne sensitivity and gum gives us a dual action effect that really takes care of both our teeth sensitivity as well as our gum issues. there's no question it's something that i would recommend.

our custody and control. we found a lot of things of evidentiary value to include some clothes that have presumptive blood tests on them. evidence consistent with of course our crime scene of course and evidence consistent with the video that showed the victim and suspect together and the suspect by himself after the murder occurred. ainsley: i know they go to school together. they live the body was found a mile away from where they go to school and she is a cheerleader there. what do we know about the suspect? has he admitted to this. >> the suspect in the very beginning was actually cooperative as we worked a missing person as opposed to a murder case. he said some spontaneous utterance statements that can be used against him that will be used against him. we are doing some digital downloads, forensic downloads of the electronic technology. so he was cooperative and then, of course, it changed hats as he switched from a witness to a murder suspect. ainsley: has he been charged? >> yes, ma'am, he has been charged with second degree murder as a juvenile. he is currently being held in the juvenile justice system in the county below us.

ainsley: have you talked to her parents? i just feel so sorry for them. >> we have. we have been in constant contact with her parents. i have a meeting set up with them. as a matter of fact, tomorrow our agency has provided every single resource possible to help this family, you know, try to cope with this horrific murder of their daughter. it's a long process. they have been just hands down phenomenal to work with under the circumstances. ainsley: what have they said to you? >> you know, just -- it's hard to grasp what happened to their daughter, you know. but, again, they have been very cooperative with us and just hands down been very, very patient. and just we're trying to work with them hand in hand, this is a difficult time for them. we are trying to help them absorb all of these facts and present them a little bit at a time as we get them and make sure they are involved in this entire process. ainsley: what happens next. >> what happens next we continue to build this case. this case is not over with. we have the body recovered. we have a suspect in custody. this case is just getting stronger and stronger based on evidence, based on witness

testimony. based on forensics so the case is just going to get better. all the facts that the attorney's office and hopefully we go forward and charge him as an adult and charge whim first degree murder and that's based on case law and the facts we present to the case. ainsley: i know she was stabbed an horrific amount of times. you didn't want to say the number. thank you so much, sheriff, for your service and what you are doing to help her family. >> thank you very much and have a great day. ainsley: thank you. you too. let's hand it over to janice. she has the forecast for today. hey, janice. janice: hey, ainsley, still dealing with cold temperatures across the great lakes and upper midwest across the interior northeast. wind chills below freezing in at love these spots this morning. we still have freeze advisories in place. it's hard to plant right now. but, things will start to warm up this weekend. i will say it's really refreshing. beautiful sunshine for much of the eastern half of the country and cooler temperatures. you know, not a whole lot in terms of showers and thunderstorms. we still have a frontal boundary across florida. so that's going to prompt some

tell us about this inflation, if i recall, what it means to everyone at home. >> good morning, will, good morning, guys. it's a great question. you don't use food and gas, do you? [laughter] if do you, will, think of a dollar bill like this, right? and think of cutting the corner off. that's essentially what's happening. everyone is even paying a stealth tax 4.2% or think of it this way your pay just got cut by 4%. what it does it erodes your savings. upflation is really that simple. it erodes your savings and your purchasing power. steve: sure. as people look in, you know, one of the axioms is you should buy things when they are cheap but, you know, how much bread can you actually buy today pause we don't know how long this is going to last. >> yeah, that's a great question. you should buy things cheap, the biggest thing you can buy cheap right now, steve, if you are the last human being on the planet who hasn't refinanced your loans into long-term low interest rate loans, now is probably the time

to do it. so lock in those low interest rate loans. you are refinancing on your mortgage or you are purchasing a new home, you have variable debt. roll it into fixed debt that's at the low rate. because these rates are still low and probably won't go much lower. can you check those out obviously at credible.com. that's the single biggest thing that middle class families, lower income families can do right now, lock in those low rates because rates will go up. ainsley: i know it impacts everywhere. we are talking about milk going up, bread, meat, energy, lumber, corps, used cars and trucks i'm reading this morning. can we expect higher interest rates as well? >> there is no question. we have already seen interest rates trickle up since january. as inflation picks up, at some point the fed sphg to have to end the party, move off the decimal point of an interest rate and gradually raise interest rates. that's what you are seeing right now in the market. the market is looking at that saying they might have to do this a little sooner than they originally thought. and as you see, that has some parts of the market spooked a

little bit. will: you know, there has been this day of reckoning that people have worried about all in money printing and spending will lead to inforeign relation. are we at that point? is this the day of reckoning? >> we think we are here. $3.7 trillion of extra federal spending. interest rates essentially so low they're providing kindling wood throughout the economy. by the way well needed over the last year to get us out of the pandemic. we are not arguing whether we needed this or not. can you argue how much we spent. but, it's no wonder your slurpee is going to cost you a little bit more at 7-eleven. will: dan row cat toe here with tips how you can protect yourself against inflation. >> thanks, guys. steve: i'm still buying the slurpy, just saying. will: going to cost you more. senator rand paul had heated conversation with dr. fauci. he will be here to talk about. ♪

beach, and pauly's island if you've ever been there about an hour and 45 minutes from charleston and it's so pretty there. my mom grew up going to the beaches, and i grew up going to those beaches too so i've driven through georgetown so many times had a lot of good memories on that water there on boats. steve: why aren't we there today ainsley: it's beautiful and so pretty. will: i'm ready to be with you this morning will cain filling in for brian kilmeade after three straight days of probably 18 hours of work, brian development in britt this morning and he will be hosting the 7:00 p.m. show. ainsley: bless his heart he needed some sleep, right? he's been doing the morning show and the 7:00 p.m. and his radio show inbetween. steve: meanwhile our lead story once again today is about the pipeline, and tensions are running high across the east coast as gas stations, over 10,000 of them, out of gas. ainsley: long lines, even did you see that fight in north carolina, here is a video of it someone recorded it, following this all happened because of

that hack of the colonial pipeline. will: look at that, lydia hu is live as we learn it could be several more days before things return to normal. lydia? reporter: yeah, that's right. good morning, guys. part of the reason it's going to be several more days is because the fuel takes a while to travel through the pipeline. we are in new jersey you can see the tanks for colonial pipeline just behind me. they hold the fuel once it arrives here, near the termination of the pipeline as it travels all the way from houston, texas but experts tells me it only travels about three, four, maybe five miles per hour so we could take two weeks or more for that fuel that left texas just yesterday to reach the end of the line here in new jersey underscoring why it could take days for places with outages like north carolina to get fuel back. take a look at this. this is the latest information we have from gas buddy that shows as of last night north carolina was still showing about 74% of stations were reporting outages, more outages in georgia

, about 50% of stations reported there and the outages actually continued to tick up even after the restoration around 5 p.m. yesterday. now, a couple of issues driving outages we know first the disruptions supply of course and then when states and the federal government rolled back safety regulations to allow trucks to transport more an ongoing shortage of truck drivers slowed that delivery and then of course there is the run at the gas station by consumers for hording. so relief at the pump is just not expected to come today. watch this. >> maybe a couple of weeks before things really start to feel normal. that is you don't have to put in a whole lot of effort to find gas, so, this is something that still could be a factor, a headache, up until memorial day weekend and it should really ease after that. reporter: now, the national average of a gallon of gas crept up above $3 a gallon for the first time since 2014 and experts and analysts tell me that in the coming days

as we are working our way out of this outage, we could expect to see a little bit more of a climb here as we see increased demand for gas as people are hitting the road taking trips for memorial day weekend. steve, ainsley, will? back to you. steve: lidia thank you very much reporting live in new jersey. you know, and as she put up the map, if we could put up the map again, look at florida. florida is not even served by the colonial pipeline and yet, the panic is so contagious, what is it 16% of the gas stations ran out of gas in florida. i was talking to somebody down there in the jupiter area yesterday and they saw the place right on the corner was out of gas so they went and stood in line, a couple of gas stations away, because everyone is freaked out that we're running out of gas. the problem is not so much supply. there is gas. it's just in the wrong part of the country, but because the pipelines been shutdown, they've had to truck it across the country, which just goes to

show that perhaps as joe biden's administration shuts down things like the keystone pipeline, maybe we should be opening up more pipelines, not closing them down. ainsley: you see north carolina 69% of gas stations. steve: unbelievable. will: steve you talked about the need to ship via truck gasoline across the country so that's a bit of a problem because in addition to shortages of workers in the restaurant industry, wherever you maybe in this economy there's also a shortage of truckers in the country. we spoke to rob sandlan, a trucking executive and brenda ec les, a truck driver a little bit earlier on the show about the shortage. listen. >> we're down about to about one-third of the viable applicants that we had prior to covid, and there were drivers that left during covid and they just haven't returned for a myriad of reasons and we have thousands and thousands of jobs available for truck drivers and dispatchers and technicians, we just don't really understand why they're not coming to these jobs i get to see the country from a different seat, not the

television, not the air, i get to see it from on the ground , and i get to look down and see how beautiful it is it's definitely job security. it has been secure for me during the pandemic. ainsley: she loves her job, and she said at first you might be scared to drive one of these big trucks so when she's on the highway and people drive up in their cars next to her, you can see they are a little nervous to drive next to me but you get used to it and they can makeup to, they can start at $85,000, right? steve: right and that's why rob is so puzzled why aren't there more people signing up to drive these trucks? these are good jobs, if you want to do it and they will even train you. down in florida, governor ron desantis is calling on the biden administration to step up and do more about the crisis. you know, you see the gas lines and yesterday, former president trump said comparisons between joe biden and jimmy carter are unfair to jimmy carter and then you've got, we know it sounds like the ransomware attack group the hackers are from russia, and

in the last number of hours, vladimir putin says that the country of russia, not involved involved in hacking into our pipeline. will: really quickly on these trucker shortages. i think what we're beginning to see is the long term price we are paying for sending people home for upwards of a year. we're seeing teachers who do not want to return to the classroom. we have unemployment and stimulus that have incentivized people to stay home, and i don't know if either of you have tried to buy, for example, a car in the past couple months. well you can't just go buy a car very easily. there's a backlog. you have to wait something like several weeks to a month because everything has been shutdown and we're reluctant to return not just to normal, but to work. ainsley: look at the furniture market we've interviewed people down in north carolina the furniture capitol of the country if not the world and they're saying it's hard to make the furniture quickly enough, because they don't have the workers they've been shutdown and if you've bought furniture recently there is a delay, and it's becoming a problem i feel like in every

industry. for the truckers, we're so appreciative of them. every single thing on the grocery store shelves is because of a trucker. every time you put gas in your car it's because someone had to transport that gasoline to the station. we are so indebted to those individuals. steve: during the pandemic, they have been some of our essential employees. real quickly, to your point, will, about the car industry and selling cars these days. my friend todd, the car man he tells me that the problem for them right now is that they can't get enough cars to sell. as soon as a car comes in, they just sell it because there is such, you know, people have been stuck at home for a year and it's like do you know what i should probably get a new car, so as soon as they can get a car , the cars sell, and it's not like there's let's make a deal thing. for the most part, the price on the window is usually the price you pay because there is such demand. ainsley: yes and all these new yorkers that moved out they needed cars because you don't have to have a car if you live in the city. most people don't because it's

like $700 to park your car in a garage for the year or for the month excuse me, for the month. let's talk about the border because when president biden, day one, we saw him sign that executive order saying he was no longer going to have construction on the wall down on our southern border and a lot of people in the town, in the rio grande valley area were upset because during the construction of the wall in that area, the levy system was -- steve: they took it apart. ainsley: they took the voila part so they were worried that area could flood and we're entering flood season so joe biden is now saying his administration is sending in the army corps of engineers to repair that 13.4-mile stretch of the rio grande valley. so it won't flood the neighborhood or the communities. steve: yeah which is curious because we know there is a crisis on our southern border, and rather than stopping the flood of people, they're going to work on the levy to stop the flood of water. the army corps of engineers put out a tweet, because people are going oh, look, there's restart

ing the border wall, and, you know, biden said he wasn't going to do that. they say, to be clear, wall construction remains paused to extent permitted by law, per department of homeland security we've started critical work to repair the rio grande valley's flood levy which was excavated to make way for a border wall. they thought they would build the border wall there, but joe biden stopped it. this remediation work will not involve expanding border barrier ; however, it will keep the people in the rio grande valley safe from the seasonal flooding. will: you know what would have solved this problem? not pausing the border wall construction in the first place. the entire project would have been taken care of, as well assad researcherring our legal immigration flood if we haven't had stopped the border wall in the first place. steve: well joe biden ran on it. he said on day one i'm going to do it and he did it and it's a mess. ainsley: these large holes were blown in the wall so that's why they have to go in and repair it they say repairs begin in six weeks to prevent the flooding and then in six to nine months

they establish this concrete levy. will: mark bernavich is the arizona attorney general and he's saying the biden administration just continues to ignore this growing crisis. >> they've created a crisis, a catastrophe, and we're on our way to a terrible tragedy so vice president biden has done absolutely nothing. if this were a hurricane or a wildfire, some natural disaster you have something from the administration talking to people on the ground, talking to law enforcement, talking to the sheriffs. you know, coordinating an effort to stop this crisis, but they're not. they're ignoring it and it's not going away. since vice president harris has become the "czar" of nearly 500,000 people have crossed the border illegally. that's like the entire city of kansas city or minneapolis, crossing in just the past few months. steve: and those are the numbers of people we know have crossed, because they were apprehended or surrendered so they could get into the system and become, you know, get in line to come to the united states, but i've heard that upwards of 1,000

people a day are not actually stopped so they just get out through whatever, through the hole in the levy, and next thing you know they are just hiding in plain sight. will: that's it way to put it, half a million people the size of kansas city walking through the border over the past three months let's go go to jillian. jillian: good morning let's begin with this fox news alert now a bulletproof vest is being credited with saving the life of one of new york's finest overnight. the officer shot three times while responding to a report of gunfire in brooklyn. the mayor praising the officer for putting his life on the line when duty calls. >> we see that gives us a clear example of how much bravery, how much courage, how much devotion it takes to be out there, in the middle of the night on the street protecting everybody else. jillian: the suspect was shot during an exchange of gunfire. police say he is a known gang

member. another fox news alert israel under fire, red alert sirens are activated signaling an incoming rocket attack from gaza this is a live look near the israel gaza border at least 69 palestinians and seven israelis have been killed in the violence over the last few days. air traffic in and out of israel is being disrupted by the rocket attacks. the violence showing no sign of stopping. >> cleveland police as well as good samaritans work together to rescue two people from lake erie. watch this. >> ma'am, reach up. we're going to pull up. >> grab my leg. >> we're not going to let you go. >> there we go! jillian: wow witnesses say a fisherthan fell into the lake and his girlfriend jumped in after him and they are both doing okay this morning. >> and the nfl releases its complete 2021 schedule and how about this , green bay set to face 10 playoff teams including the saints on week one, and hall of fame coach jimmie johnson

knows what they need to do to be ready. >> green bay, i think they are in position to be a super bowl contender, and now if aaron rogers is not there, i think it's disastrous. they can set down like grown men and say hey, you know, what are our problems, let's work out our differences. i hope they do. jillian: they face the saints sunday, september 12, and some other big match-ups include patrick majority homes and the chiefs, and will's cowboys, sunday, november 21, and in nfc north match up for thanksgiving between the lions and the bears all those huge games on fox. will: i went to the schedule jillian, i'm feeling like 16 and 1. >> yes, i'm sure, yes, absolutely. will: i'm sure you're very confident about the eagles. steve: as she always does. will: the chiefs is the one loss i gave them. they are going to take care of tom brady. steve: oh, wait you're saying the kansas city team? will: oh, look at you. steve: indeed, all right jillian

steve: well a new jersey school district has announced plans for elementary and middle school students to fully return to class by the end of the school year, with hopes for high school students to be back full time next september. great. but parents, who sued the district in december, say it's not enough as they call for an end to virtual learning, once and for all. two of those parents, vickie dem

biak and danielle wild stein join us along with their attorney. good morning to all of you. >> good morning. steve: vickie, this has got to be so frustrating as the mother of a high school student, you know, we thought six months ago, the kids be back in school, back in high school before the end of the year. we're almost to the end of the year. it ain't going to happen. >> i don't think so but there's no reason for it not to happen. that's what's the most frustrating. steve: right because there are other school districts in new jersey, just a district or two away, wide open. what's going on with your school >> so back in the spring, our school shutdown as did the rest of the state and in the fall, we were initially told that our school district be opening for hybrid, and at the last minute, our superintendent, dr. joan mask sent out a letter and pulled the plug and told us

that we would remain remote for the fall, and our schools opened for a brief time in october, and then she shut them down again in november for two months and told us we wouldn't be opening until after the holidays in january, and then we filed our lawsuit in december, and schools opened up for hybrid which was two half days which is still not even close to being enough for our children in january, and then we continued to push and continued to push and then in march our schools opened for five half days and that's where we are right now. steve: right exactly and danielle its got to be frustrating for you as a parent because you see other school districts in new jersey. they are open, but then you look at the state of florida. they've been wide opal year long it's almost as if florida has magic air down there, that apparently not available to new jersey residents. >> yeah, its been very frustrating as a parent. i have a son who is in second

grade and he has to be in-person he has a 504 which is special accommodations for adhd, he cannot learn remotely so this has been incredibly difficult for him both academic ally, socially, mentally , emotionally, and looking at florida, looking at texas, looking at other states even massachusetts where the governor had to step in, and for districts to open, why new jersey, why are we still fighting? it is now may, well over a year later. i have told our superintendent she no longer needs to lead. she just needs to follow. she doesn't need to be the guinea pig. everything has been tried and tested for a while now. open our school. i feel like right now, it's really no longer ability the virus, and about safety. it's about lack of planning, and come place answer it with our school district, and every time that we've come forward and

given them information about safety and mitigation practices and guidelines and recommendations those goal posts keep getting moved. steve: they have and it's not just your school district, it's happening, you know, across the country. james, real quickly. who do you blame for this lack of leadership and reopening the schools? is it the superintendent? is it the parents, a lot of them don't want their kids back in person or is it, i don't know, do you have school unions in that particular district? >> no, it's definitely the superintendent here, and a bit to governor murphy, because we're at a point right now where the infection rates are low. he can order all schools to open throughout the state and there's really no reason why some schools are open five full days and some are doing five half days and some are still remote, so i blame the superintendent for her lack of leadership and her arbitrary and random

decision-making through out the process and the governor as well. steve: well i know you guys have sued and it doesn't look as if the kids, nonetheless, are going to get back before the end of the year which is too bad. vickie and danielle and james thank you very much for joining us and telling the story. by the way we did reach out to the scotch plains superintendent 's office who we've been talking about, have not yet heard back. if we do, we'll let you know. meanwhile, 25 minutes after the top of the hour. we are honoring the men and women in blue as part of national police week. lawrence jones went out to detroit and talked one on one with the top cop about why he has and ways he's cleaned up the city. the exclusive interview is coming up, next. speaking of exclusive, why don't you download the fox bet super 6 app and you could win $10,000 by monday. all you got to do is predict six outcomes to the fox bet super 6 quiz show, a range of topics you can get. we talked to somebody who did

and we are celebrating the men and women in blue including detroit's top cop, chief james craig, lawrence jones went to the motor city to learn more about his career and he joins us now. reporter: earlier this week, chief james craig announced his retirement from the detroit police department after 13 years of service. i got the chance to talk to him about how he helped change the city, i'm sorry, his thoughts on policing, and his future plans. take a look. >> we didn't ask you to go nowhere. the chief came here and day one, he was transparent. it's the key. >> it changes the way we police in the city of detroit. >> you are who you are. you call it like you see it. >> i've been in this 44 years start being in the city of detroit and going full circle back. >> i want to see your city and what you were able to change. >> so lawrence, this is, for me , and my tenure here in detroit, iconic location.

shootings, stabbings, prostitution, drug dealing, everything that could happen, and the good people that lived in this building didn't feel safe, so i came up with an idea. we're not putting up with this blatant criminal activity. we're taking detroit back. reporter: and what was the response? >> well war leaning out of these windows clapping. reporter: the people were celebrating. >> thank god, thank god the police are back. i was stunned. reporter: beautiful place. the picture that you paint -- >> that's the same building. i got to tell you this was so successful it changed this neighborhood. >> now i live in a nice environment clean. >> i wouldn't have been here either. reporter: chief you say something all the time that i think is so profound. you say you can't wait for conflict to happen to have a relationship. you got to start before. >> you got to start before.

the rioting in the major cities, they have a bad police shooting, and they are trying to get ahead of it. if you're trying to get ahead of it and you've not done anything to certainly institutionalize what relationships look like in your agency, you're going to fail. we work with our local activists we have relationships. i may not always agree but at the end of the day, you stood with us. you were the chief that brought that to the city where you actually listened to the voices of the officer. reporter: do you think our leaders are aware of the rhetoric and how that may impact the job that you guys have to do? >> publicly if these police officers need to be more supported like people who sit in the seats of some leadership. reporter: why are they doing it? what is the incentive? >> their incentive is to undermine government as we know it. when you hear comments like dismantle, defund the police, no

, no, they want effective policing, constitutional and ethical policing. that's what they want. reporter: chief, you said look, i'll do reform if it makes sense >> if it makes sense, but see , i don't like broad brushes. you can't paint every police department the same. you can't just say the entire profession is corrupt. reporter: what does that badge mean to you? >> public service. i work for the people. it's an emotional day for me because i won't be wearing the badge but i'll tell you what , i'm going to continue to be in public service because that's important for me, but i feel like i need to take a much larger role. reporter: is there a time for new leadership? what say you? >> i'm really thinking about the future, so once i retire, i will make a decision of what my

next step will be. reporter: what if the chief says he's going to run for governor? >> then that's a good thing. [laughter] reporter: okay. >> i appreciate that. reporter: ainsley as you can tell he's loved by the community and one of the reasons why is when they had concerns about corruption in the police department, he investigated his own unit, and gained a respect of his community and so as you saw one activist that was on the screen said look, we've had some disagreements but i'm really going to miss you. ainsley: uh-huh i love the guy said why are you going anywhere we didn't tell you you could leave. do you think he'll run? reporter: i think he's definitely going to run. the rumor is he's going to run for governor. he's made it very clear he's open to a lot of things so i'll be back there to report on it when he decides to make that announcement but it is clear he be a tough challenger for the governor in michigan, seeing how he has a diverse group of support. ainsley: it's just wonderful he's cleaning up the detroit area. i've been there and i love that

area, home of mo-town, motor city, the pistons, thanks so much, lawrence for going out there. reporter: thanks ainsley. ainsley: just minutes ago dr. fauci was asked about his contentious relationship with senator rand paul. >> could i just ask about you and rand paul? does your body tense up every time? >> [laughter] ainsley: you're going to hear fa uci's response and reaction from rand paul, next. we believe at newday usa we have a noble purpose.

we want to be known as america's mortgage company for veterans and active-duty service people. some of them are giving their lives right now, today, for the freedoms that we have here in this country. so for us, at newday to help those people at this point in time. it's a labor of love, it's a noble service, and that's what we're all about.

senate education health and labor pensions committee, and the senator joins us right now. good morning to you, senator. >> good morning. steve: well you're a doctor so you've got special doctor questions of the doctor. he does not particularly like it he was asked this morning over on another channel about the give and take between the two of you. he had this to say. >> could i just ask about you and rand paul? does your body tense up every time? >> [laughter] >> and by body you know what i mean. >> yeah, you know, gail, i just don't want to get into that tit-for-tat. i just don't understand what the problem is with him, but you know? i'm just going to do my job and he can do what he wants to do and we'll see what happens. steve: senator he says he's just going to do his job but that seems to be what you've got a problem with how he's doing his job. >> if he was being interviewed by a journalist they would have asked, did the nih, did your specific division of the nih

give money to the wuhan lab. that's true. what he's arguing is he's parsing his words. he knows his group gave money, but he's saying oh, it wasn't for juicing up these super virus es. we gave it for other research. it's sort of like the planned parenthood argument. yes we give taxpayer money to planned parenthood, but not for abortion. dr. fauci is arguing yeah, we gave it, the nih and my group specifically gave it to the wuhan lab but they weren't supposed to be juicing up virus es. steve: the money is fungible as you say on capitol hill. >> it's even worse than that, the bat scientist that's the most famous one for the wuhan institute when she published her papers, which scientists across-the-board are saying are gain of function, they were juicing up viruses, they gave credit to dr. fauci. she said the funding came from, we have this in black and white, from a peer review journal. she said the funding came from dr. fauci's national institute a

id, this is dr. fauci 's baby for 40 years and she lists him in the credits he can't escape this. he did the funding and my other question is china is a rich country and they're kicking our butt in so many places. why would we be giving them money for research? will: senator paul, dr. fauci calls your exchange a tit-for-tat and he said he doesn't month what your problem is. that's because he's placed on a pedestal and no one thinks it's appropriate to question him no one except for you and a few others. have you received the answers you want? we saw in that clip you're asking about using new york as a model, why you should be masked when you've already received the vaccine and importantly what you're talking about this morning. the origins of the coronavirus. he said to you directly, that's not true, regarding his support of gain of function. when we know there's an editorial going back to 2011 that he has supported gain of function research. have you received the answers you're looking for , senator? >> no but we've sent inquiries. there's been freedom of information as well as inquiries from house oversight, when it

was under republicans and now from our office, ron johnson and others. we're asking specifically for some nih papers and the conclusions because in those conclusions, we believe it will be unequivocal from a group of scientists that they will conclude the yes that wuhan institute was making these super -viruses. they are still going to argue they didn't fund it but this is a really important argument. it's not a partisan argument so when dr. fauci goes on these other channels and they laugh it up but they never ask him, did you fund the institute. so he's trying to evade that he funded it at all. i ask him the general question, i didn't ask him whether he funded gain of function. i said did the nih fund the wuhan lab and he danced around it and answered a different question, but there is no question at all that the nih funded this lab whether it was gain of function, there's many scientists, dr. baltimore, many scientists out there, there were 200 scientists in the cambridge working group that

are worried about creating these superviruses in the lab and the possibility that they could get out so it isn't just me, it's not partisan politics. shouldn't be partisan at all. we should want to protect the public in case another virus like this could escape. ainsley: this is so crazy though , because if this happened because of the nih funding and that came from dr. fauci and this spreads into a global pandemic and now he's in charge of the response in the united states, the irony of that, what do you make of that? >> it's even worse than you make out. the person they appointed to investigate the lab from the w. h. o. perspective is the guy who gave the money, so nih gave the money to a group called eco health. the head of eco health, they got him to investigate whether wuhan was doing anything inappropriate in their lab, but if they were, wouldn't he then be culpable? so doesn't he have a self- interest in smoothing things over? i'm not saying he did cover things up but you wouldn't appoint someone whose in the line of supply chain of

giving the money to them because ultimately here is the rub. i don't know whether it came from the lab. nobody knows whether it came from the lab, but who be culpable? dr. fauci to be culpable for the entire pandemic? so could dr. dazank, and so could dr. xi. i'm not saying that happened i don't know, but you wouldn't put the people who gave the money to the wuhan lab in charge of the investigation. that looks like a cover-up. steve: no kidding and it's curious that it seems like the only people asking about the origin of the coronavirus which has killed tens of thousands of americans all seem to be republicans, which is odd. >> there should be bipartisan concern. there's 11 labs in the united states that are cooking up and creating super-viruses. that's worrisome. steve: juster the turn super virus is pretty scary. senator, doctor, thank you very much for joining us. ainsley: janice has the forecast for us. >> janice: hi, good morning

will: standing up for patriotism from t-ball to pro-sports to wisconsin state assembly passed a bill that requires the national anthem to be played before all games. the author of the bill wisconsin state representative and 20-year army veteran tony kurtz joins us

now, congressman, representative thank you so much for being with us today. the united states seemed to be driving towards a more tribalist ic society drawing lines between us based upon race or gender or whatever maybe. the one great tribe that you nighted us is the united states of america and you think this is a symbol of a reason, a way or a time when we can come together? >> well good morning but yes absolutely it's a time in our nation we all do need to coming together as a nation and reflect on all of the good things that we have and that all starts with service members that have some paid the ultimate price so that we have that freedom, and playing the national anthem just reflects on who we are. we are one nation, we are one family, as tim scott said a couple weeks ago and i think it's something we all should rally around to play our national anthem so do not forget who we are. will: right, now, every sporting esubsequent that's the proposal. i can hear the rebuttal. i've heard the rebuttal of the debate firsthand. first of all why are sporting

events different in movie theaters or any other form of entertainment, why should we play the national anthem here but not other aspects or other avenues of society? >> well if you think about it, will, so many athletes over the years said we're going into battle, this is a fight. well, you know, when they're playing a game, a football game at that time, it is. you're putting one another against each other but at the end, we still have to coming together, we have to be one nation, and we have to once again, reflect on why we had that ability, that freedom, and it really does start with all our men and women that have worn the uniform and will wear the uniform. will: i want to ask you one more rebuttal i've had this debate several times and had it in the arena of sports where i spent many years and one of the points made is patriotism has to be a choice it can't be mandated. what do you say to that? >> well i served 20 years on active duty, my wife served 14 years in active duty.

patriotism, you're right it's something each and every one of us feel within us, so when you play the national anthem, you're just having the feeling that reaches your soul, that we are one great nation, and that we have to be thankful each and everyday why we have those freedoms and once again, it starts with our men and women who wear the uniform. thank you, will. will: absolutely and the one tribe that can unite us all is the tribe of being americans in the united states of america. thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you, will. will: more "fox & friends" just moments away.

>> that was a fun three hours. will, come back tomorrow. >> dana: everyone have a great day. tomorrow is friday. >> thank goodness it's fox. so long from new york city. >> bill: thank you, guys, good morning. president biden waking up today facing crises at home and abroad including the pipeline. it is back up and running. gas stations across the southeast out of fuel. we expect to hear directly from the president later this morning. a big two hours year. good morning. hope you're doing well. i'm bill hemmer. >> dana: i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." prices at the pump are rising. so are costs for a lot of essential goods you need everyday. economists are
