"fox and friends first" continues right now. ♪♪ friday friday ♪♪ got to get down on friday ♪♪ the weekend weekend ♪♪ todd: i actually did something. i read an article 10 years after this came out. it talks about the trials and tribulations over the course of the 10 years, she had a rough go

of it since this song came out. a lot of bullying and personal struggle. todd: this is the third time in the last hour todd said i wrote an article about that person. he told me anything about bruno mars's life. todd: bruno mars? in case you were wondering these giggles mean it is friday. you are watching "fox and friends first" on friday morning. jillian: hope you are glad you woke up and tuned in this morning. unmasking america, president biden touting the new guidance for those who are vaccinated. todd: rebecca black's agent joins us to explain. >> reporter: more for you to read, new guidelines from the cdc. the surest sign of return to normalcy for millions of americans, a moment of relief when the president stepped out of the white house, walked up to the mic wearing no mask and

making this announcement. >> this is a great milestone, a great day made possible by the extraordinary success we have had in vaccinating so many americans. >> reporter: the new cdc guidelines says you no longer are required to wear masks outdoors or indoors in most settings, lifting social distancing in large or small gatherings but still advise masks to be warning crowded indoor settings such as public into -- public transportation or if you are feeling symptoms of covid 19. these guidelines do not apply to unvaccinated americans saying they should still mask up and cdc's director has a warning. >> the virus can be unpredictable. of things get worse there's a chance we may need to make changes to these recommendations.

>> reporter: nancy pelosi says don't ditch the mask instructing house members they are still required to keep their masks on in the chamber except when speaking during the bait, this as several states acknowledge this guidance but are assessing things before unmasking. in new york governor cuomo issuing a statement saying we always relied on facts and science to guide us through the rest of this pandemic, we received the new guidance from the cdc where regarding mask wearing and those vaccinations, we are reviewing them. expect to hear the president's critics questioning the timing of this announcement. fuel shortages in the middle east, a border on fire, some are wondering if it was science or politics. jillian: lots of questions. todd: the colonial pipeline back running, the company paid a ransom but don't expect fuel prices to end so quickly. jillian: government officials warn this could be the beginning.

>> reporter: the president said they started fuel operations once again saying the majority of the places they service should reach full operational capacity but it didn't come without the panic buying at the pump the we saw online on social media and they confirmed the restart, biden said the effects would not be immediate. >> i want to be clear, we will not the feel the effects of the pump immediately. this is not like flicking on a light switch. they have to safely and fully return to normal operations and it will take some time. >> reporter: this is fuel shortages across the east coast of gotten worse. one source says gas stations in places like dc, the carolinas and virginia and georgia saw gas stations from 49 to 73%. our nations capital being the highest reported without gas at the pump. as far as hacking, colonial paid

a ransom of $5 million. president biden was asked about the ransom and here's what he has to say. >> reporter: were you briefed that the company did the ransom? >> i have no comment on that. thank you. jillian: the fbi is investigating but biden says he does not think the russian government was involved, lawmakers are demanding answers. >> we need more answers, very little in russia, especially with persons affiliated with with the russian intelligence. jillian: nancy pelosi weighed in on the ransom payment saying this cannot be open season for hackers who can make money on threats. todd: have a great weekend. jillian: mark meadows says this would never be happening under

the trump administration. >> this is not about american greatness. this is about american weakness and the biden administration would prefer to sit at 1600 pennsylvania avenue at not do anything. had this been the trump administration and russian hackers were involved this would be the biggest scandal of all time. we would have mainstream media everywhere saying why aren't you doing something? what do we have a the president biden? and incoherent statement about what may or may not have happened and no plan to fix it. jillian: on tuesday the energy secretary acknowledged the best way to transport fuel and his first day in office president biden killed the permit for the keystone pipeline construction. todd: manhunt underway, 9 people in providence rhode island, police believe it is the largest shooting starting with shots fired from a vehicle into a home. dozens -- for 5 guns from two

>> i really am particularly now that the cdc is following the science. if you are fully vaccinated indoor or outdoor 326 feet apart you are safe. this is the time to leave the country through the crisis and instead she is doubling down on it. we saw during biden's addressing joint session everybody was vaccinated, they world double masked. that's not the right message to send americans. you need to be encouraging vaccinations and show what that post vaccination life looks like. todd: part of the letter is long, it goes over the points you made. it seems she has to cave on this. how ridiculous did she look if she doesn't cave? >> she looks ridiculous more and more every day and the mask mandate is an example of that.

taking over the infrastructure committee and the latest infrastructure package. it will he get worse from here but this is a time to show leadership, we are not getting it from nancy pelosi. our kids can be safe in schools, parents and have a say whether their kids wear masks. the halls of congress are the first place in this country where we likely have heard immunity because the vast majority of us are vaccinated or had covid 19, whether outdoor or indoor, we need to show the rest of the country how to get it right. jillian: summit like yourself who had covid 19 and are vaccinated. there are a lot of people in that scenario as well. let's talk about the colonial pipeline hack and the gas shortage. the biggest thing? >> it exposes energy security is national security and also exposes that we should be paying more attention, be more mindful and investing more in

protections rather and say creating a civilian climate core or making our kids school lunches greener in this infrastructure package perhaps, just perhaps we should invest in cyber security to prevent cyber attacks from happening in the future. that should be a priority for this administration. todd: here's what pete buttigieg had to say on this. >> for many americans this has been a wake-up call on how actors anywhere in the world could impact us right here at home. when you look at our policy framework, our laws. a lot were not written for the cyber era. todd: he is right. that was a very thought out answer, inaccurate and full answer. why he and the rest of the administration leaving so much other junk as infrastructure and distracting what really needs to be done to carry out what people >> reporter: just said in that soundbite. >> absolutely.

what i am hearing about that infrastructure package it will be larger when we get to markup and see it and worse than we heard so far, half of what we are hearing could be spent on green new deal type of wasteful spending that does not make cyber security a priority for infrastructure and this hack illustrates the enormous need to do a better job for the energy grid whether that is pipelines of the energy grid. todd: you've got to get together on one thing it should be that. we appreciate your time as always. have a great weekend. jillian: still to come wait until you see this video. a lift driver held at gunpoint and robbed in his own vehicle and the horrifying crime caught on camera. todd: we have been talking about the border for a while but now we are talking about inflation. prices rising on everything. our next guest says the media is giving the president to pass, we have that next.

alive, doing that so they can increase their ratings. there are a lot of other theories. what is yours as to why they can't focus on what president biden is doing to our country? >> i don't think it is a theory i could prove this case in court. everything happening under biden on everything a front, the border, the economy is number one, look at crime, on every single front he is falling apart and the media wants to talk about liz cheney, the conference chair. can anyone tell you the conference cherries in the democratic party? no one knows who that is, no one cares who that is, no one cares about liz cheney, whether she gets to run meetings, private meetings anymore. you have inflation, insane inflation, jobs employers can't find anybody to fill their jobs, biden has been stuck at home cashing government checks, new numbers, we talk about the border under trump, i am sure

you do it at fox every day, look at the graphic and look at it. it is astounding. the data points about how many migrants are showing up at the border and down here with trump. it is really bad. the media was i lump in with the democratic party only want to talk about liz cheney every day. meanwhile the country is falling apart under this president. todd: interesting point on the conference chair. if you polled 99% of people in washington dc they would not know the conference chair of the republican party was. it is wild stuff. you mentioned data points. president biden's america 4.2% inflation rate, $20.2 trillion national debt, 6.one equal unemployment rate, 178,000 border encounters, 62% increase in gas prices. leave the full screen of the. you put trump's picture in how does the coverage change?

>> that was the point of my column in the new york post. you are looking at things that if it was trump, in particular trump but any republican, in particular trump this would be here on fire levels of outrage. it is outrageous. things that are going on, i know people feel it, your viewers feel it, they are saying what is happening, what is going on? will he four months into a new presidency, the person who was to fix everything a restore the soul of america and we are looking at catastrophic levels of inflation, jobs that can't be filled, overrun border. i know the democrats promised an open border, but i don't think people understood they meant it and it is looking really bad four months -- if it was trump this would be every single covid death was trump's fault, looking at 400% under this president, no one says a word in the media.

>> i don't think we would think legally that educating the youth and future leaders of the country and systemic racism is indoctrination. >> teaching children the country is systemically racist is the responsible thing to do, arkansas senator tom cottonwood disagree, he proposed the ivory tower tax which would tax colleges who teach it, wealthiest colleges and universities, billions of dollars tax-free while indoctrinating our youth with un-american ideas, this will impose a tax on university mega endowments and supported vocational and apprenticeship training programs to create high-paying working-class jobs. he wants to tax colleges and use that money to support vocational training. do you think that is going to pass in congress? we will see.

in the meantime, some stories you want to look away but also wants to watch and this is one of those. >> reporter: the perfect way of describing this and we will have a loop. bill deblasio announced yesterday that new yorkers can get a free burger and fries with your covid 19 vaccine and he decided to sample the goods on camera. watch. >> can use a free fries when you get vaccinated? i got vaccinated. if this is appealing to you think of this when you think of vaccination. carley: they are he is chowing down on the new york city covid vaccine incentive which is shake shack burger and fries, the best burger and fries i have to say but wasn't it him that he ate pizza with a fork and knife and got back lash because in the new york you have to know how to eat pizza, eat burger and fries with a fork and knife.

jillian: doctor mark siegel joins us to discuss. it is good to see you. let's talk about the updated guidelines. you no longer need to wear a mask were physically distance in most settings and you can refrain from testing with certain exceptions. do you agree with the new guidance? >> completely agree. this applies to travel by the way domestically and internationally and indoors as well as outdoors and based on the science. my only thing is it is probably several weeks delayed from when it should have been but multiple studies have shown even harboring the business when you test positive is less then one% after full vaccination. that is what they are waiting for, mayo clinic studied 30,000 people who discovered that. healthcare workers in israel were not translating this virus if you are vaccinated. extremely important. the numbers are going way down of cases across the country, we

are down 35,000 new cases a day, way down over several months and the death rate is the lowest it has been in 9 months. we are heading in the right direction. the warmer weather is coming, this is coming at the right time. jillian: this also pertains to traveling but we need to wear masks on planes, right? >> right. the guidelines still say in close quarters settings, this is the confusion between doctor fauci and cdc, quote as in buses and planes and areas where you are crowded, indoors yes. todd: teachers union president calling for full reopening of schools in the fall. why is it okay to follow the science now right after this announcement but not for the last few months? >> you are so right, schools should have been open months ago. not even looking at what public health means which is the amount

of damage you are doing with schools close with what about socialization, depression that is going on, young children that are not bonding. all of this and teachers are already vaccinated. there is no reason for schools not to be open several months ago and for the remainder of the year. makes no sense whatsoever. that is another reason mask guidelines work, camps need to be wide open in the summer. jillian: absolutely. doctor mark siegel, thanks for joining us, have a great day. let's go to steve doocy for what is going on on "fox and friends" in 17 minutes. >> coming up on "fox and friends" the you were talking to the good doctor about unmasking america, masks can come off inside. for trump administration coronavirus testing was a will join us and react to the cdc's move to end mask mandates for fully vaccinated americans.

.

jillian: good morning, welcome back. indiana's attorney general is set to serve al sharpton and seven others over closed door meetings with facebook officials. part of his ongoing civil investigation into big tech censorship. >> joining us live to explain indiana attorney general todd rokita. what are you expecting to discover. >> investigation trying to find out exactly what these people's intent were. why were they meeting and discussing censoring information from users. and we want to find out if they are violating any of indiana's consumer protection laws. ' you know, if a car dealer kept information from a consumer about the product they were displaying or selling, they would be in violation of indiana's laws. so may apple, facebook, google and the rest of them.

jillian: exactly what you triering to find out. i'm curious why now? is there any any new information you obtained. >> ranging documents and documents under oath we originally sent them and gupta now number 3 at the department of justice. we learned that there was a meeting, a dinner, not only with vonita and executives from five tech companies but also al sharpton. members of the naacp and the urban league where the topic was specifically requesting these companies to keep information from consumers. and you can have a commercial transaction where you keep information from consumers like when amazon took the transdiswrernd book off the shelf that violated indiana law us. as consumers we process and digest political information. and this meeting was about keeping political information from consumers in and a free republic like the united states that's important so we make the right decisions before electing our leaders.

todd: i know you are doing this on behalf of the great people of indiana. is this all building to something at the federal level ie the elimination of section 230 protection for big tech? >> well, there is no coordination. but i think that's part of the puzzle and part of the solution is adjusting that you know, i worked on that from my time in congress. this is an independent investigation to find out if they broke indiana's consumer laws and other states are doing other things. even at the lawsuit stage now and indiana has joined those states in some of those lawsuits like texas when we are fighting against the ads revenue and the antitrust provisions. this is an independent investigation on another theory of whether or not they broke another state's -- state laws in an additional way specifically the consumer protection law. so, all these are blooming, so to speak, and i think ultimately, it's going to lead to a lot of reform one way or

the other. jillian: you say all of these are blooming. i'm curious, you think, how much of an uphill battle this really is? >> well, it's a little bit of david and goliath for sure. but we have a law on our side. we have the investigative power on our side and no one is too big to be above the law. i mean, so long as this is still america, and we're all supposed to be under the rule of law all of us equally that includes google and the rest of them, too. todd: 30 seconds on this final answer. along these lines do you think in your heart of hearts that we are any closer to big tech changing it ways? >> i do. they are taking and they should be, our investigation seriously. they are all lawyered up and the process will go forward. and ultimately a judge or jury will probably decide some of these things depending on where our investigation goes. but, all of us working on this independently, yet rowing in the same direction is going to produce some change. i'm pretty confident in that.

todd: usually the strong arm of the government can lead people into settling or caving. big tech has a lot in that. >> yeah. in this case the state government. the federal government doing or what look to the state and your attorney general to make that change. todd: a.g. todd rokita, have a great weekend. >> thank you, guys. jillian: shocking video a padre fan punching out another fan in denver. watch. >> now on third tommy error is at second. jillian: oh my god, it is unclear what led that to knockout blow. man appears to be yelled at by the rockies fan he walks up and delivers a sinister right hook before being tackled. the victim is not pressing charges. >> we lee with you this three louisville police officers hailed at heros this morning after pulling two people from burning cars following a crash watch as the officers break glass, struggle to reach the

drivers trapped inside. both drivers were rescued minutes before an explosion. officials said if not for the quick thinking of the three officers, those people would likely not have survived. officer tells suffered from smoke inhalation but will be okay. jillian: great to highlight the good things they do in our community especially this week. todd: go out there and do some good stuff on your own.
