butterbeer. >> juan: you know, kennedy so my grandson and i wept down to universal butterbeer at the harry potter place. i had no idea whether a it was. >> kennedy: it's awesome. >> juan: that's it for u ♪ funny how the world keeps turning ♪ look ma, no hands. pete: good saturday morning. thank you for joining us here on "fox & friends." we have a two for for you this morning. it's armed forces day. you saw that we're also live from the preakness stakes. we'll be there in just a moment. and i'm joined by my main man will cain and as you move your way up the stairs. we are no longer on the ground
3:01 am
floor, the spaceship has moved upstairs. will is waiving it in we have carley shimkus. carley: hello. so good to be with you. i think i have been on with both of you guys in boxes. now we are on the couch together. a little far. a rope i want to be pulling. pete: a lot of pillows in between us. a. will: a lot of pillows and safe distance. here we are in studio and on the couch back together with you. you got the pillow straightened out. carley: this the first time on "fox & friends weekend" is up here on the mezzanine level. pete: correct. pete: little known fact i spent six months up here by myself on the couch at the beginning of all of this. and then will joined me and we were downstairs for six months and now we are here with you. carley: guess where janice is? pete: where? carley: she is at the preakness. we will check in with her because the big horse race is today. good morning, janice, what's
3:02 am
going on? love the hat. janice: thank you, christine moore, of course, made these beautiful hats encounter boutique in saratoga. i love my outfit. can i tell you it matches my books make your own sunshine. do you see that. it's my own make your own sunshine outfit at the preakness. big deal. second race in three. you have the kentucky derby, the preakness and if the horse is lucky enough to win both races it goes on to win belmont, right? the stakes in new york. bob baffert has been the topic of discussion this last week, obviously, because his horse medina spirit tested positive for illegal substance, a really tiny amount of illegal substance in his blood stream. so, you know, there is -- it's questionable if medina spirit remains the kentucky derby winner but the horse is going to race in the preakness. it passed all three drug tests. bob baffert's horse, medina
3:03 am
spirit and concert tour mike smith is going to be riding concert tour. mike smith is the one who rode justify. we will talk to a veterinarian about that small trace amount of substance that was in medina spirit and what that means for horse racing. so, a lot of excitement, obviously, with the controversy. there's a bit of a cloud over this race today. but, all eyes are going to be on the preakness. that is for sure. and we will be broadcasting live on "fox & friends" all morning long. back to you. pete: thank you. will: thank you so much, janice. janice: you are welcome. will: here is what i think is a rhetorical question. has science been guiding us through this process or pandemic? has mask guidance? has vaccine passports which are on their way, been guided by science every step of the way? that's somewhat of a rhetorical question because i think we all know the answer. it's a question still we need
3:04 am
answered and fox news peter doocy is trying to find those answers. was this science or was this politics? here he is asking jen psaki. >> there are a lot of questions about the timing of the cdc's announcement. did somebody at the biden administration or in the biden administration update this guidance for political reasons? >> no. peter: what was the medical or scientific reasons. >> vaccines stand up to the variants which has been a concern about the need to continue to mask even as you as you are vaccinated. vaccinated people are less likely to transmit the virus. peter: what happened to president biden saying in march that he thought lifting mask mandates before every adult american goes and gates shot is neanderthal thinking? >> the cdc, the doctors and medical experts there were the ones who determined what this guidance would be. that was not a decision directed by, made by the white house. pete: well we are all neanderthals now because the
3:05 am
guidance. it was one of those moments. carley: not here in new york. here in new york we are still wearing masks. pete: good point because cuomo says we're not changing. there were a few changes though in states that immediately in response or near immediately in response to too new guidance that said if you are vaccinated indoors or outdoors you don't have to wear mask. here are the states that said okay, we are updating our mask mandates as well. some surprising ones there like oregon and minnesota. freedom loving states like florida and north carolina have said hey, we are opening it up and dropping our mask requirements. but, will, to your point, a lot of confusion because it was a whiplash in watching it i thought where did this come from? i was glad it was happening, with you it was so different than anything we have seen from this administration the entire time. it's almost like suddenly there was accidental leadership for the wrong reasons, are there other things going on sneer meeting crises whether it's gas or israel or border crisis all factored into this. someone said maybe we should do
3:06 am
something other than the 0.001% mask requirements and open up and who knew how to respond? will: i wasn't someone, carley and pete, who felt like yesterday was a day of separation. we didn't cross some magical finish line or hit magical threshold when it came to vac seems and number of people who received the vaccine. what we did is have the cdc as you pointed out several times pete trail common sense. common sense in the average american out there was where the cdc got month ago. we knew whether or not you could transmit the coronavirus outdoors. so then, therefore, what was this about? and you are hitting the nail on the head as did peter doocy when he asked jen psaki. is this about a distraction? is this about changing the conversation afrom a potential war in israel. a border crisis inflation, gas shortages? you name the crises because there is about a dozen of them. is this just an attempt to change the conversation? carley: you know i actually think more than a distraction it's about may. it's about the may jobs report.
3:07 am
because, you know, the april jobs report was so bad and when you ask people who aren't looking for a job right now why that is, it's for three reasons, they say. one, because of government incentives and the other two are because some people are still very much afraid of the virus. they want to stay home. and the other reason is about child care. their kids aren't in school. they are still at home. so what happened this week? the cdc comes out and basically says everything is safe, we can go back to normal life. can you take off your masks and what happens with teachers unions? they say we got to go back to school in the fall. the may jobs report. pete: that's true. this is only just the beginning though. it you see fauci say yesterday if you are a kid, as young as the age of 5, and you are not vaccinated in the fall, you'll be wearing a mask while the other kids won't? this is just -- to your point, will, i had a little flicker of feeling good oh, good, we're moving. quickly replaced by the contentiousness that is to come
3:08 am
as people are condescended to or or ashamed whether or not they are decide whether to vaccinate 5-year-old or not. will: i don't know if it's someone who arrives rudely late to a party say two or three hours later and says i'm here aren't you so excited? no you should have been on time. i know it's not the perfect analysis. pete: you have ontime parties? will: i know you are always fashion nabbably late. you got here late. don't let me separate the fact that you got here where we have all been. carley: great day the cdc is going in the right direction. isn't that what you always wanted? that's true. if there is a political motivation to it, then people have every right to be upset about that that means we could have gotten here a lot earlier. here is kevin mccarthy about why he thinks this cdc guidance was just announced. watch. >> the only reason why they changed stop wearing a mask because gasoline went to $7 and there was gasoline lines and they wanted to change the news.
3:09 am
i believe in the vaccine. i have been vaccinated. i don't need to wear the mask. we need to get back to work, back to school. back to health, and back to normal. it's simple. that's the only thing we should be focused on. pete: other thing to pay attention to how do private businesses pay attention to this. private businesses not changing. ones on the left still requiring masks in their stores? reviewing it is in the middle, will play in the land. walmart, costco, trader joe's saying we are tropic our mask requirements if the cdc says it's happening. i mentioned it last night, will when we were on with kilmeade and will cain will be hosting upcome we will talk about that "fox news primetime" it's going to be awesome. the fact that i texted my kid's principal right away in a catholic school saying hey in light of the guidance when do the masks come off the kids? can i sign a waiver saying hey i'm cool with my kid. en. carley: did he get back to you. pete: i will be watching.
3:10 am
carley: i was watching you twice last anytime and i'm curious what he has to say. pete: where does it fall as it cascades to other organizations and i think it's time to allow people to exercise the freedom they should have been exercising the entire time. will: if we acknowledge these reasons are being made for evens other than science we have to start wondering what that is. i like what you said earlier carley about what it means about the people who are telling us and giving us guidance and asking us to accept their word as gospel because they will continue to give us guidance. if you are not divided by science, what are you guided by. when it comes to the media, i would suggest you are guided by something much more, i think nefarious is actually the word. it's about them. it's selfishness and vanity and virtue how they feel superior to you, watch. >> i understand, you know, a right to privacy and a right to freedom but i don't have to a right to go to my workplace unvaccinated. i don't have a right to send my kid to school without test iting him to make sure he becomes a vector for disease.
3:11 am
s that had debate gone to far. >> i feel like i will have to rewire myself when i see somebody out in the workplace wearing a mask i don't instantly think you are a threat. >> especially what the cdc has done is to lift all mask mandates and social distancing mandates regardless of whether you are vaccinated. i mean, they say only vaccinated people should be taking off their masks but we know that's not how people are going to be. i'm actually worried right now that we are increasing the risk for our children. carley: a threat. and that's why we're so divided right now. i just wish if you want to wear your mask that's totally fine that's okay. if you are somebody that's a little bit more cautious and that's fine, you can be, you shouldn't be worried about people who are unmasked if you yourself are vaccinated. pete: that's the point. if you get the vaccine you are good. why are you so concerned about whether or not will has it or not? will: because you know this and you have been telling me this for months. they are not really afraid of covid.
3:12 am
it's not really about the disease. it's about feeling morally superior to someone else. the left turned into the left's maga hat as we joked this. is why this is more important. i hope we get to talk about this more this morning. they will transfer this superiority they won't have the mask anymore they will find some other way it will be a vaccine passport. pete: passport on your phone i'm better than you. that's a picture of my kid. carley: already happening in colleges and probably happen in some states. vaccine passports next topic of conversation. all right, going to turn to some headlines now. we begin with a fox news alert. israel airstrikes hamas launches more than 200 rockets overnight. the number of deaths rising in israel to at least 9 as more than 130 are killed in gaza. violence break out in the west bank as protesters clash with israeli troops who shot and killed at least 9 people.
3:13 am
israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu vowed to crush hamas with unrelenting bombardment. two small children are among 20 illegal immigrants rescued from a human smuggling scheme in texas. border agents discovered migrants in the bed of a truck towing a trailer. some crammed into a trailer without ventilation. the driver is facing federal charges. while the tigers spotted in a houston neighborhood remains missing nearly a week later where is the tiger this despite police receiving more than 200 tips. it's believed independent i can't, the tiger's name being secretly passed around between homes involved in exotic animal trade. the man police claims owns india in court back behind bars connected to a previous charge. will: now, tell me how a tiger is going unnoticed in houston? here's my theory.
3:14 am
is he being harbored by someone. there's no way he is sitting around where we know he is right now. pete: that was the rest of the headline, will. will: i got worked up. pete: will is like this as it's being read. carley: i like the way he said it better harbored. will: somebody is harboring this fugitive. [roaring] carley: compliant easy going tiger. carley: you are a tiger, princeton. pete: i thought you said before you said princeton. it. carley: princeton tigers to be clear.

♪ pete: welcome back, house republicans demanding answers after emails between the second largest teachers union and the cdc showed the union influence on school not reopening policy. carley: in a letter to cdc lawmakers claim political interference resulted in months long delays in the reopening of schools to the detriment of american children. will: all of this as the aft president randi weingarten does a total about face. titled schools must open this fall in person five days a week. here to react kentucky congressman and house oversight committee member james comer. congressman, thank you so much for being here with us. congress has shown an interest in investigating this influence the teachers union had on the idea.
3:19 am
here's my question. what can you do about it if you find something that does seem quite obvious that the teempts union did exert influence over idea guidance. >> that's a great question. we are trying to see what our options are. i think we have proven that there has been a lot of correspond between the teachers union and the cdc. we have all seen the reverse course as have you mentioned. surely with the week's events it's been probably the worse week of any president for a long time. all of a sudden they tried to change the narrative okay, everything is fine now. can you go back to school. you don't have to wear a mask in public. it's great. it's over. let's go back to the way it was. i think it's very important that we prove that the teachers union had a lot of influence in politics played a big role in a lot of the decisions dr. fauci made. and then we will take action from there. pete: congressman, it's not over. i hope this investigation happens. unfortunately you don't have the gavel so i'm sure you are at the
3:20 am
behest of democrats whether it does or not. but what's the next iteration of how, as you look forward, these unions were very powerful. the biden white house has said repeatedly they want more union influence as we look toward the fall and what influence they may have. what do you anticipate they could influence there. >> we want the american people to see that the unions have played a big role in these schools that have remained shut down forever. i don't think there is any parent in america that had children, including my wife, that have had to go to school virtually that don't understand the fact that kids learn better in person. and i think everyone can look at the science and look at the results and see how few school children have been adversely harmed by covid. what we have got figure out in congress is the next time this happens, how can we react better? how can we go without shutting the economy down for long period of time, creating trillions of dollars to artificially inflate
3:21 am
the economy. how do we protect our kids to make sure that they never have a missed year of learning in school again and i think we are going to learn that the teachers union played an oversized role in this. hopefully we can message on that. hopefully we can make the american people aware and that they demand better from their public schools. carley: yeah. i think you just hit the nail on the head. why would the cdc need guidance from the teachers union? it should be the cdc givings the guidance for the teachers union. we are almost out of time here but really quickly, are you looking into any other possible special interest groups that may have influenced the cdc guidance throughout the course of this past year? >> i think that we have got some tips. there is no shortage of whistleblower comments that we get on our website every day. i think we all know that there is an oversized influence of the unions in the bigger city. you know, the rural school districts went back to school mostly pretty quickly after the first shut down.
3:22 am
but it's the big cities that are dominated by these unions and there are multiple teachers unions. so we're looking at the opposite and, again, the goal should be the end goal should be that the next time something like this happens, that we never have a situation we have to divert our school children to a whole year of virtual learning. pete: thank you, congressman. appreciate it more "fox & friends" in a moment. ♪ now we've created a brand-new way for you to sell your car. whether it's a year old or a few years old.

3:26 am
day. they join me now. good morning to you both. certify anything, i am going to start with you. explain in a little bit more detail what you are seeing and finding on your property on a day-to-day basis. >> >> every day we have multiple bailouts on our property so they're running through our fences. in vehicles, they are cutting our fences. they are busting through our gates. they are walking through our property. they are leaving their belongings, backpacks, things like that every day. carley: stephanie, would you describe them -- who is coming? is it mostly family units? is it children? is it single adults? >> it's mainly young male adults. that's what we have seen. carley: you know, marcus, this border crisis has been going on for a couple months now. and i was wondering if over the past few weeks, has it slowed down at all in your opinion because the biden administration is saying that the border is closed. so i'm just wondering where they
3:27 am
are coming up with that. >> you know, it kind of comes and goes. we went from having a few a day to one a day to a slight will [inaudible] and then next couple days it picked back up again. carley: stephanie, a lot of democrats say this is a humane way to handle the border because these people are hurting and inheir home countries and they e coming into the united states. what would you say to those people? >> a lot of the individuals that we are seeing here, they have -- they are convicted murderer he is, rapists, child molesters, so it's hard for us to empathize with the individuals that we are seeing on our property. carley: marcus, are you scared? >> i don't know about scared. there is more concern is what i
3:28 am
am. i am worried about my family in when i'm in pasture or if i have to go to town for fuel or feed or whatever i need to do. a lot of times, you know, riding the tractor or just checking fence, there is a little bit of fear but it's more concern. carley: yeah, stephanie, how many more illegal immigrants are crossing through your property now than was taking place under the trump administration? >> oh, during the trump administration, i don't know that we physically saw one. we maybe would find their camps that they would leave behind. but we never physically saw anybody as opposed to now starting in january we see a few every single day. carley: yeah. that's what we are hearing from a lot of other people. stephanie and marcus, thank you so much for joining us. it feels like a lot of times the administration isn't listening to the folks on the ground whether it's border patrol or the reanchers that are living along the border. we sore glad to have you on so

3:34 am
many years on the streets of the palestinian territory between basically young people and the police, rocks and stones returned with tear gas, rubber bullets and in some cases live fire. there were 11 casualties. 11 people died in palestinian territories yesterday. and today is the day they call the day of the catastrophe, the day that palestinians lost their land to israel in the 1948 war. so we are expecting that there could be a lot more of this unrest today. here it's just getting started. you see burning tires and you see people gathering. now, as the army is out in force and police, too, prepared for what may be a rough day, back to the rockets now. 200 overnight. it has seemed for a while that that was petering off a bit. [gunshots] >> you can hear rubber bullets being fired behind me, and yet now we have had a new barrage of rocket over central israel. interest had been talk about a cease-fire. i think that has been from
3:35 am
well-placed sources and it has been some leaks to the israeli press. finally overnight in gaza, there were a lot of airstrikes targeting the idf says they got about 120 different militant targets overnight that has not been confirmed by the palestinian side. but their supposed success in going after this organization is what is leading people to say that we could be getting closer to a cease-fire in terms of the rocket fire because the pentagon has been wiped out then it would be a time for them to ask for a cease-fire. one family of nine was killed in one of the strikes in gaza last night. and that is the reason the military wing of hamas has said they started to fire rockets over central israel. a baby survived that was basically and his father the things that you can see are very, very tense. will, pete, and carley back to you. pete: amy, we can see the situation unfolding right there
3:36 am
behind you. stay safe, please. appreciate it amy kellogg from jude day a and sumaria. i have been in a situation like this not with the rocket falling in ramallah where the idf has security control ultimately that's in an area that is controlled by the palestinian authority which has a lot of sympathies with hamas and radicals so every once in a while israel has to go in to maintain access to that area. and in a moment like this, where you have got not just hamas but also sort of arab mobs there, it becomes really, really difficult. i will note, this israel made an incredible military move when they deceived the world with a tweet saying troops are going in the ground into gaza. the gaza -- the palestinians hamas sent their frontline troops into the tunnels to go defend against it and then israel put 160 planes in the air and bombed the tunnels that the hamas fighters were going into. a classic deceptive maneuver only works once or twice but what a move. it is existential there right

he doesn't have a middle name harry s. truman. it's just an initial. carley: i didn't know. will: i need to know. did you stumble into getting that right? were you just getting that name or did somebody hop in your ear? carley: i knew the acronym. pete: harry s. truman. carley: his mother named him s. will: they just gave him the initial harry s. truman from? are. carley: what state? pete: i should know that. texas. it's got to be texas. will: it's not it's missouri. carley: speaking of states. will: one thing i know i'm right about is this advantage of going out in and doing the diners the way we have over the last year is to hear from americans exactly the issues they are dealing with i know that you have heard this firsthand. i have heard this first happened. small business owners,
4:03 am
restaurateurs having trouble hiring workers. why? there is incentive not to go to work. federal unemployment benefits have been so high so lock they simply can't get workers in. some states are fed up. they are ready to take away the incentive. 1 states cutting off federal unemployment benefit to try to reincentivize workers to enter the workforce. pete: yeah. a lot of red states there if you look at it ultimately it's red states for the most part. governors saying we want our workers to get back to work. and i think this is an ear to the ground type scenario, will. if you are really listening to your business owners, small business owners especially pinched by raising than put on balance sheet. i have already raised them. i'm not going to pay casual under the table illegally like some people are asking me to. i took my boys to perkins yesterday. the manager wanted to come out and say hello but she couldn't because she was cooking because they didn't have enough people to actually man the entire restaurant. carley: we have heard so many
4:04 am
stories like this on our channel restaurant owners who say -- it's sort of like out of the trying pan into the fryer. you survive this pandemic, thank god. who would have thought a year after it started the big issue that they would have would be employing people. it really is because of that incentive. so the government is giving workers 300 additional dollars so the average that people are making who aren't working is about $638. not to throw a lot of numbers at you. pete: a week. carley: a he can would. that boils down to about $16 an hour. so some democrats are saying well, okay, if you want people to go back to work. these businesses have to raise their wages. a lot of these businesses can't afford, that will. will: that is just incredibly insulting. the level of micromanagement, not only are they willing but they desire to take over in this society is absolutely stunning. it's mind-blowing. and insulting for companies trying to hire workers. if you just listen, for example, to cecilia roust, she is of the
4:05 am
cancel of economic advisers, she is the chair, in fact, she has the solution and know what is to do to solve this problem. put her in charge your business. >> it offered suitable job worker order a job must take it hire workers part time without those workers losing their unemployment benefits through short time compensation, again, we're not through this pandemic, many of those -- essential workers those jobs are not risk-free, right? they have become a little more a little riskier. and so as employers have to pay more to compensate employees to take on that risk i think that's appropriate. will: did i hear that right. raise wages. beat unemployment. find a way to pay people just little enough so that they still qualify to get unemployment as well. and the first part of that clip. it sounds a little bit like back door to universal basic income. just let the government keep
4:06 am
paying people. why not? print money and pay people. that's been the democrat dream from the beginning. cecilia rouse. undergrad whatever grad ph.d. this. all sounds great to her in academic land. i hate saying this who is going to pay for it? it's not even connected to relate. will: carley, you did a service there, pete. i'm pointing out that her desire to micromanage and game the market in terms of facing employers to raise their wages is one aspect of this. the other as you point out she is saying oh, also, by the way we can set this so can you get part time work and keep getting unemployment. it's doubly offensive as you listen to her try to membership the labor market. ains. carley: big difference between big government states vs. small governor state. one of the states cutting off the federal unemployment, my decision is based on the fundamental conservative principle we do not want people on unemployment.
4:07 am
another state. pete: shouldn't that be a conservative principle. carley: tennessee is one of the ones cutting off unemployment. senator marsha blackburn is going to join us at 8:15 eastern time. we will talk to her about why her state is deciding to go along that route. i think we know the answer. pete: i think we do. speaking of another group not sufficiently gone back to work because of the power of unions and its teachers. and usually in underserved schools more than anything else. kids still stuck at home, stuck on zoom because teachers unions have made ridiculous demand. they have written the cdc glindz to game them to benefit themselves as we now know. now randy wine garnett, who the is head much the american federation of teachers, that union, has written a op-ed in the atlantic. it's rich. this is the headline of her op-ed in the atlantic. schools must open this fall in person, period. five days a week, period. and will, you talked about you didn't know what the right analogy is, showing up late to a
4:08 am
party. i think it's sort of showing up to a wedding that you objected to but not attending the sara person who and then going to the wedding reception and toasting the bride and groom and saying you are welcome, congratulations for this amazing wedding. will: you just smoked my analogy. that was a good one. whatever it is they are late for the party. they are the reason for this party. we can't allow randi weingarten and teachers union get credit for getting us back. you are not part of the solution. you are part of the problem. here is what weingarten wrote out. educators are yearned to be back in school with their students. have they? because you are always open to going back. they asked only for a safe workplace during this pandemic. pete: that's it. will: and the resources and their students need to success. critics have scapegoated teachers and vilified their unions because of school closures during the pandemic ignoring extreme disparities between schools and blaming teachers for conditions outside their schools. creating safe conditions in schools during a public health crisis is not.
4:09 am
it's the pathway to going back and staying back and building trust throughout our school communities. carley: trust is important. that's the thing a lot of parent are lacking. i'm sure so many parent who had to do zoom school the last year just heard you read that will and are furious. that's what they have been saying for the last year. the trust issue is really important. the reason a lot of parent don't trust their school districts anymore is because of things like, remember, i forget what state it was. california, i think it was in california. where one of the school districts facebook pages, there were a bunch of teachers saying don't post pictures of your spring break because it would make the school look bad because we are still virtual learning or what about the fact in new york there was state studies that showed that schools did not -- were not a spreader of coronavirus and, yet, kids here in new york were home for so long. will: carley, i'm one of those parents. my kids are still sitting at home on zoom school going into month 15.
4:10 am
i know exactly what this is like. by the way, i'm not going to sit here and listen to randy weingarten tell us they were looking for reasonable as the doe starts and stops schools. i think we have a list of an example of the kinds of things we are talking about. pete: that's right. she said they asked only for a safe workplace. well, here is a list of demand from another union, very similar to the american federation of teachers, it's the united teachers los angeles. here are their demands similar to the demands made by other unions. you better defund the police before we get back in the classroom. housing security for students, businesses to expand paid sick leave, restrict those charter schools, those evil charter schools got to go. will: oh, no competition. until we can get back. will: need financial support for undocumented, meaning you illegal students as well. all that needs to happen then it will be safe, carley. carley: it's about health. we are being told it's about health. north carolina congresswoman virginia fox, she responded to
4:11 am
weingarten's op-ed. she said wine gart were is attempting to rewrite history by framing her union as part of the solution. the truth is that students would have been in person this spring semester if teachers unions had gotten out of the way and biden had grown a much needed spine to stand up to them. but, instead, schools were kept closed which caused months of harm for students and families particularly those low income and have disabilities. so true. we have heard so much about how there is such disparity between the rich kids, kids that could go to charter schools. lucky enough to go to charter schools and private schools and kid living in low income communities. and they are the ones really suffering. will: can't get back to school until we defund the it police. don't spit in my face and tell me it's raining. carley: all about the pandemic. pete: i have a mini obsession what's going to happen in the fall as far as kids in the classroom without mavericks requiring vaccines for young children. i got a call from my mayor last
4:12 am
night. he said they had a vaccination teen drive. pushing for 12-year-olds and 1-year-olds to get vaccinated. if teachers were the ones that were under threat and they get vaccinated or choose to wear activist that. why are we then forcing or telling kids to -- this should be a choice and going to be a show down come september. carley: you bring up such a good point. if you have think parent are upset when they see their children with masks on their face and there are a lot of reasons why parents don't want that to happen for learning and cognitive abilities. imagine parents that don't want their children to be vaccinated a 5-year-old and-year-old and a school is telling them they have to. will: that's coming. emergency use of their vaccine going down to 2-year-olds coming september. carley: fall will be a fiery time. a fox news alert. moments ago we showed you this live. a happening in west bank. israeli troops are patrolling the area after 11 people were shot and killed yesterday. overnight israel renews

have died. ryan, ryan, was the woman able to speak to you after you got to shore? did show say anything to you? >> yes. the worker that -- he was this there with me helped me out. she was thankful. she wanted both our names. the other -- he was there with me. kept thanking us the whole entire time along with shivering. carley: i'm glad she is okay. what made you want to become a police officer. >> honestly i wanted something different every day. i wanted to help people. helping people is what i like to do. perfect job for me. carley: and help people you did. hannah, i'm sure it didn't come as any surprise to you when ryan jumped into the water. were you nervous though? it seems like kind of a long swim. >> yes. it was no surprise. i knew he would be the first person on the scene. it's just who he is whether the world is watching or not. but, to be honest i was
4:29 am
terrified. the video i'm sure you are showing is only about 5 seconds and that's as long as you could see him. a lot of the people picture this great dramatic rescue where we watched it happen. he was out of our sight, that's how fast the current was in under five seconds. i was praying and hoping everyone was okay. carley: it is still police appreciation week. it's the last day of it so we thank you so much. we are always appreciative of our police officers and especially you for saving this woman. officer smith and hannah, thank you so much for nudging him to dive in the water and do the right thing. you guys are amazing. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you for having us. carley: god bless. still ahead, medina spirit looks to take home the second leg of the triple crown on today's preakness stakes. trainer bob baffert has another horse in the race with a hall of fame jockey at the helm. janice dean is live at the preakness with his story coming up next. ♪

4:35 am
now. it's good to see you. >> thank you, great to see you. janice: do you remember the last time we were together? look at me? look at me go. [laughter] >> yeah, we were going for the triple crown, i believe the holy grail of horse racing. janice: that's right. justify. tell me what it's like to be on a triple crown horse. >> interest is a lot of great athletes there is a lot of great basketball players. there is only one michael jordan. that's what it is like to ride triple crown horse. that's why there has only been 13 in the history of horse racing. janice: how is justify? have you kept in touch with him? what's he up. >> to he is doing really well: i have got to visit him a few times. when he retired the day before we left i remember getting a phone call. i got a new pony and brand new saddle. i'm thinking of walking justify around. would you like to get on him that one last time without any pressure on the line? you know. janice: tell me about bob
4:36 am
baffert your relationship with him. >> not only is he one of the greatest trainers of all time i think his record speaks for itself. he is arguably the best. we're very close. i have ridden for him for many, many years. is he a wonderful man. janice: obviously what's happening this week is like a cloud over the racing industry. but i don't think that people understand what these measurements mean and, you know, it's not like performance enhancing drugs. have you got the mussels. tell me what you know. >> it's not that type of steroid. people hear the word steroid and think it's something that fills the muscle. it's a therapeutic. not that at all. legal substance therapeutic training as any athlete would. afternoon the amount that was found it could come from anything it could have came from an ointment or whatever it was. it's like a tropic of water in three olympic size swimming pools. janice: in kentucky, obviously, their rules are different than
4:37 am
what's happening here in baltimore. would that help if we standardized it? >> it could. right now we have flaws in testing as in any testing does. again, no one is working harder at any other sport than we are. i can promise you that first and foremost, there should be due process. the man hasn't even had a chance to have that. going to be sad him not being here. we will try to bring home the black eyed susie for him. janice: tell me about the preakness. there is something different. the kentucky derby there is pomp, circumstance, and the hats and the dresses. but there is something very relaxed about the preakness. >> there really is all that pressure of trying to win the derby is over with. and if you can just win one of the next two, you know, legs of the triple crown you will be extremely happy. so this is just kind of a time where everyone just kind of relaxes and enjoys the race and see if the derby winner can pull it off. competing in the preakness. and, if not, who is going to be the new up and coming star that's going to shine all of a sudden. janice: how did you get into this? >> i was born on a ranch.
4:38 am
both my grandparents owned horses and raced horses. my upping be kel trained. my father rode. i actually wanted to be a linebacker i didn't grow up big enough to even carry the water bucket. [laughter] so i was athletic and i loved horses. it was just the next best thing. janice: do you feel it's a calling what do you? >> i believe it is. it feels like it is. i know when i pray about it feels right and i do a lot of that. it's a fast game. it's a dangerous game. a lot goes on. a lot of pressure. need a lot of help. the good lord above. trust me. you can't handle it on your own. janice: tell me about the horse you are going to be riding on today. >> concert tour is extremely talented. up until the arkansas derby, every time he ran he won. if i can get that kind of race out of him this afternoon, it will be hard to beat. janice: i just love that man. mike smith is one of those people that you meet and he is just salt to the earth.
4:39 am
he will sit down and chat with you for as long as you want. he is a tremendous athlete. people don't realize these jockeys, what great shape they are in. and the fact that mike smith has been doing this for almost 40 years is so incredible. so i can't wait to see him on concert tour. and, of course, you know, everyone is talking about bob baffert. he's not going to be here today. he wants the focus to be on the race and not on him. i'm good friends with bob bat so, you know, my thoughts are with him. but, of course, we are going to be following the controversy and talking with a veterinarian to talk about the substance that was in the horse's blood work and what that means for racing. so, stay with us. more from the preakness. wohoo. pete: covering it all, all angles so well our own j.d. will: i wonder when mike smith made the decision, do you know what? i'm not a linebacker. carley: i love that line. that was so honest. i'm so glad that janice said that i always wondered in horse

racing if you really should give the horse more credit or the jockey or what's sort of the ratio of credit to be given? it's really both. pete: i previously would have said that nascar drivers and jockeys not athletes after going to talladega and nascar drivers are athletes. theory is out on jockeys. i have never ridden a horse that long it's probably really hard. will: hey, you left way too early i took a lap in the pace car was from that guy right there. and new appreciation for the athleticism of drivers. turn to a few additional headlines this morning starting with this. four suspects are in custody after a string of horrific slashings and assaults on a new york city subway. they face first degree robbery charges over the attacks. three of which happened within a 12-minute span on the same train. police recovering a 12-inch kitchen knife they belief was used in the crimes. the victims were taken to the hospital in stable condition. newly elected house republican conference chair elise stefanik

hamas with unrelenting bombardment reports cease-fire could be come as diplomatic efforts continue. welcome to "fox & friends" in this 8:00 eastern time hour and we're going to start this hour off big with our next guest mike pompeo, fox news contributor and former secretary of state. sir, thank you -- there you go, i will look at the right camera now. thank you very much for being with us this morning. it's a new set, we are getting used to it. come on and you are fitting in nicely with the fox family. great to have you. >> pete, great to be with you. pete: mr. secretary you spent a lot of time there. you know that situation intimately. b.b. netanyahu, all the factors, where are we now as it pertains to the security of israel? >> pete, i did spend a lot of time there they were an important friend and ally. in the trump administration we always had israel's back. they knew that. and our adversaries into that, too. the iranians, hamas terrorists, the palestinian slack jihad terrorists. those folks who are firing these missiles killing innocent civilians in israel, they knew that the united states understood that israel had not
5:02 am
only the right but the obligation to defend itself and protect its people. what's happening is tragic. every life that's lost whether it's gaza, west bank or inside of israel is of value. the terrorists have to stop what they are doing. israel has every right to defend itself. don't forget, pete, the weapon systems that are being faired, the capabilities that these terrorists have in gaza strip were coming directly from support from the slack republic of iranian. and the united states is sitting at the table in vienna today plotting to hand over billions of dollars to them very iranian regime that's now killing innocent israeli civilians. carley: yeah, mr. secretary. before the segment i checked the u.s. state department website it still says that israel has no greater ally than the united states. but president biden gave $100 million to the palestinians. so why would the u.s. government give money to palestine if they are launching rockets at our allies? >> carley, unexplainable. a total head scratcher.
5:03 am
i have seen that, too. i have seen that statement, frankly secretary oberlin ken's statements with respect to this have been pretty good too. he has said that the israelis have the right to defend themselves. can you see in the democrat party there are many attacking israel. they are call israel tears. they are coming after those who say that the israelis have the right to defend themselves. i hope that president biden will give an even stronger signal. remember, none of this happened in the trump administration. these hundreds of rockets that are coming out of gaza would not have happened but for the absence of deterrence but for the understanding of the iranians that we're going to continue to underwrite. your point about the palestinians giving $100 million to connect pay for display. killing -- it's all fungible it can go school for west bank or go for a rocket to land in tel aviv. this is tragic. the united states policy can't be pro-iranian. it can't be pro-terrorist. and we need to make sure that everyone is clear that we're not
5:04 am
going to provide resources to those who want to undermine this historic jewish homeland in israel. will: mr. secretary, i was having a conversation with someone of the day they said will, where do these rockets come from how too the palestinians get all the rockets. aim glad you clarified where the support for these kind of attacks originate. let me ask you about this sort of power behind the throne when it comes to something else as well. the attack on american security this past week as we saw russian hackers, darkside, the name of the hacking group, who hacked into the colonial pipeline, true infrastructure here in the united states of america. now, joe biden has said that vladimir putin and the russian government are not behind this kind of attack. but, where is the power behind the throne there? there have been suggest nothing happen in russia without oversight or knowledge from the russian government. can we dismiss the involvement of the russian government in this kind of hack? >> >> well, i haven't seen the intelligence, maybe they have that kind of intelligence that
5:05 am
leadership in russia didn't know. your point is well-taken. very little happens there that is not at least tacitly supported whether they approve this particular operation at night. the russian could say easily know where these operators hacked the united states this. is threaten the united states of america. we have people stopping in gas lines. we have risks that our infrastructure, more broadly even than these pipelines could come under attack. this is hit on the american economy. and it's coming from foreign soil. there should be every expectation that the leadership in the home country appears that it's russia that the leadership in russia will hold accountable these actors and if they don't do it, the united states has a responsibility to take them on directly and make sure that something like this never happens again. the fact that we paid ransom was noted. it was noted by terrorists all around the world. i assure you. and whether it was 5 million this time, it will be 50 million next time. the price for paying ransom increases. always increases threats. i'm afraid that's what's happening in this situation as well.
5:06 am
pete: mr. secretary, what is the proportional response or the deterrence? you have got a virus that as we learn more and more, you know, appears to have escaped from a chinese lab. you have things like this that may be tied to the russian government. let's say that they're. let's say it was the russian government tied in, how do we respond in a world of cyberattacks which can kill americans, cripple our economy? we have a very vulnerable grid and infrastructure. what does a response look like that deters bad actors that can do bad things with the click of a mouse? >> pete, you nailed it this is life-threatening. this may not be connected in the traditional sense that you and i know as veterans, this is not that. but the risk to life, the risk to life of americans is very real. adversaries to use these as cyber tools. lots of ways to respond. respond in kind in cyberspace. we know how to do it. our forces are capable of executing counter attack in imposing real cost. bigger picture. you mentioned the wuhan virus. think about this.
5:07 am
the chinese communist party covered up a virus they knew they had human-to-human transition. is it may well have leaked from one of their laboratories we still don't know the answer to that the world must unite. kicking them out of important substitution institutions that matter putting tariffs. sanction senior leaders not letting them travel. can you imagine dozens of actions the world could take to impose real costs on the chinese communist party until they help us understand how millions of people around the world died as a result of a virus that escaped from their country. carley: from one crisis to another and talking about the border crisis now there are really disturbing pictures that have come out and it shows two small children among a group of about 20 migrants and they were being smuggled in a field truck bed cargo trailer. and there is also this "new york times" report that president biden has lashed out at hhs secretary basara during an oval
5:08 am
office meeting. what does that "new york times" report say to you. because of the messaging, are the public messaging is that this is not a crisis. we have everything under control. but, when you look at those images and hear about this report that there could be some friction within the biden administration on, this what does that say to you? >> carley, president biden is in charge. so he can holler at whoever he wants. he can get frustrated whoever he would like to get frustrated with. in the end these are the biden administration policies that have caused this human tragedy, this crisis on our southern border. the darndest thing about this one, unlike some of the others, this one was man made. we had this problem. we worked on it for two and a half years. we had figured out a solution. we had diplomatic arrangements with the mexican government, with the governments in central america. that had created a stable situation on our southern border. they walked in and they said trump, pompeo, their team did this. we will flip the situation and undo it. can you see these pictures are so hard to watch. the risk to our southern border from fentanyl coming across from, cartels, moving their way
5:09 am
into our nation, these are real risks, southern border is important to secure american sovereignty. it's central to secure and so frustrating to hear the biden administration fighting with each other when, in fact, we ought to be addressing this crisis on our southern border. will: you point out correctly that joe biden ultimately is in charge. he has attempted to delegate these responsibilities to his vice president kamala harris. let's take a look at this "l.a. times" headline by the way. it says republicans aren't alone in saying kamala harris should visit the southern border. mr. secretary, what's going on here? is this -- it's hard not to look at this and say there's an attempt inside the biden administration to offload this bad press on to someone. maybe biden shifting it to haste. maybe harris saying i don't want it whatever it is, everyone in the administration is running away from this issue. >> that's sure what it looks like it. looks like people trying to point to the other guy and throw him under the bus. that's really bad leadership. in the end, this comes from the

top. in the end, if you give a directive to your vice president, your vice president has the obligation to execute. that was true in the trump administration as the president said mike, this is your mission set. i had every single focus to make sure we delivered on behalf of america and the united states. to watch a bit of a keystone cop exercise people pointing in one way or the other trying to offload blame fundamentally mistakes the problems at our southern border. whoever is in charge of it needs to get their act together. we need to clean this this up. it's possible to too. vice president harris said it would take time no. it was right when you took over. go back to those policy and our border will get back to where we need it to be again. pete: yeah from energy to israel to the border, man, that has been a heck of a 115 days. can't wait for the next 115. mr. secretary, thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you, all. carley: what a difference a president makes. will good morning, absolutely. turning to headlines, the

♪ >> we're also advertising to employers that there are resources to help them hire workers part time without those workers losing their unemployment benefits through short time compensation. jobs are not risk-free, right? they have become a little more -- a little riskier and so employers have to pay a little more to compensate those employees to take on that risk i think that's appropriate. will: there you go the white house urging businesses to simply pay workers more or alternatively game the system in order to compete with federal unemployment benefits.
5:18 am
but 18 states, including tennessee are pushing back and ending the incentives not to work. here to react is tennessee senator marsha blackburn. senator, thank you so much for joining us. what's your reaction to that game the system and figure out ways for employees to maintain unemployment. here is an idea as the white house is suggesting just pay your people more. what's your reaction? >> will, they are so out of touch with relation in tennessee last week we had 255,000 available jobs. we have 49,000 people still receiving this plussed up unemployment compensation. this is one of the reasons our governor has said we are bringing this to an end. we need to get people back to work. children back in school. life back to normal and the way you do that is to say, look, there are plenty of jobs. and you know one of the things that is so interesting to me, i was talking to a mom yesterday with a high school senior and a
5:19 am
college student. and her children are so excited they have jobs for the summer. and they are elated. so, we're going to see people moving back into work. these benefits are coming to an end. it is about time. there are 8 million jobs available nationwide. will: these types of laws are proactive measures. republicans can partake in. instead of just complaining. that's also something you are doing as well when it comes to the border. tell me about the bill you are about to reintroduce when it comes to the border crisis? >> yes. you just had a great conversation with secretary pompeo and discussed what's going on on the border. it was under control when joe biden took office. the reason is we had the migrant protection protocols which is president trump's approach to securing that border having individuals seeking asylum and entry into the country remain in mexico. until that appeal is heard.
5:20 am
and that is how we make certain that we do not have traffickers with drug and labor and gang and sex trafficking moving individuals into the country. so my legislation puts those provisions back into law and we are going to move this forward through the senate. we have it filed. we have some co-sponsors on it. we have a companion bill in the house. this is the way we need to address the border. and the border patrol have told us for decades they need a wall. we should go back to building that. they need better technology to match the cartels and surveillance. and they need more boots on the ground. and having individuals remain in mexico helps them to clear that border so that they can properly police it and deal with the cartels who are trying to move all this into the country.

constitution three parents which have helped organize the effort which has raised $0,000 join me now. natalia. alison wanger and stephanie cocoa knows. they all join me. good morning to you all. you three helped organize this lawsuit against the new york city department of education and mayor bill de blasio. natalia, i will start with you, why do you think this lawsuit is necessary and what are you hoping to achieve? >> well, we have watched our kids and other kids in our city be locked out of classrooms since march of 2020. and we kept hoping for a plan. we thought that the administration had our kids' best interest. we thought any day now we will be able to get every kid back into school like other cities have. and they have across europe. and that hasn't happened. so, we have advocated. we have rallied. we have marched, we have begged, we have tweeted. we have done everything we could and now it's time to compel the
5:34 am
city to do the right thing. so many kids are still shut out of classrooms and it's unacceptable. we cannot wait another day. carley: alison, same question to you, why do you think legal action is necessary and also, how did at-home learning affect your children? >> you know, i think it's necessary because we keep hearing from dr. fauci, from our governor, from our mayor, they all keep saying how clear the data is that school is safe and that kids should be in school. so it's confusing on why our kids aren't back at school full time when so many desperately want to be back and truly suffering. my kids, fortunately just went back full time remote was difficult on them. hard to focus on computer screens and work she'd. our teachers did amazing job as pest as they could in isolated
5:35 am
environment. carley: i know you have two 7-year-old twins. good for you. stephanie, you have a 5-year-old and 7-year-old. your kids also went back to school already. have you seen a change in them from what they were like when they were learning at home versus now that they are back in school? it's night and day honestly, when you have a 5-year-old trying to learn social skills and life skills in front of a screen, it's just not age-appropriate. and they are flourishing right now with their teachers. carley: yeah. absolutely. nataylia you have a 7 and 10-year-old. mayor de blasio, he actually spoke out yesterday about school reopenings. i want you to take a listen to what he had to say. watch. >> we made our schools the safest places in new york city. the comeback of the new york city schools, biggest school system in the nation. the fact that we reopened our
5:36 am
schools when so many other cities didn't even dare to try. i want everybody back in school in september, everybody. carley: a few take aways from that on my end is that he thinks that he handled schools, his administration handled schools in new york city in a really great way. answered also does say that he wants schools to be back full time in the fall. does that g.e. you any comfort. >> sure. gives me a lot of comfort but it doesn't actually give me anything binding and doesn't show that there is a plan that parents can truly rely on. is he also the one who said that new york city has had a gold standard of reopening. i will disagree. i would say places like bral new jersey where they didn't shut down entire schools for two unrelated cases and kept kids in school pretty much full time from early this year that would probably be my sense of what a gold standard is. so i believe the mayor wants to
5:37 am
do the right thing. i think his heart is in the right place. i think he is hamstrung by people like michael mulgrew and randi weingarten who have extorted this city and this country and has kept blue swathes of this country shut down at the kids' expense. and they are spinning the story to make it look like they are trying to reopen but, in fact, we have no confidence that they have the kids' best interest at heart. and we know that the only way to do this is to actually do this and win it. carley: alison, have you gotten any plan in place about what happens if next year and your kids do go back to in pepper and then a child tests positive for covid? what happens to the classroom? has anybody told you anything about that? >> there has been no plan, nothing. there is no plans on, you know, i know mayor de blasio said that, that he wants that. but there is no plans. there is nothing. he has announced that new york city is opening up. we have theaters and broadway and really exciting, but he has
5:38 am
not mentioned the plan for how new york city schools are going to open and the parents are very nervous and we're scrambling. carley: stephanie, have you heard anything about how the fall is going to be handled? >> i don't. i mean, i do know that we are still testing our children weekly. so we are testing our children asymptomatically and any time that there is a code-positive case, regardless if it is a false negative or a false positive, rather our classrooms are closed and even though we are back. some elementary schools are back five days we still are going to continue classroom closures unnecessarily. carley: you three are taking action. we have reached out to mayor de blasio's office and the new york city department of education. but have not heard back. in the meantime we thank all three of you for joining us this morning. all right, will, over to you. >> thank you. carley: you bet. will: thank you so much. now for a few additional headlines for you.

ointment or whatever it was. a drop of water in three olympic size swimming pools. janice: what do you say to that? >> yeah, i mean, i think that the issue is you can't mistake the amount of a medication in the horse with the potency. so, for example, you get botox, if you get the botox in the wrong place it goes in your bloodstream less than this amount will kill you. so, you know, it's really important that people understand that, yes, it is a small amount in a milliliter of blood but that isn't the entire amount in the horse because the horse has by mike's analogy a horse has 150,000 olympic size swimming pools in its body. janice: i think the bottom line is let's wait until it plays out. >> absolutely. for our purposes we have done everything we can to ensure that it will not happen here. janice: okay. wonderful. thank you so much for breaking it down. what a great interview, right? that's something we haven't seen, i think, in the press is an actual person that understands it to tell us what's

6:01 am
pete: feeling great. it's armed forces day, we're back on the couch. people think before we come into this we're probably discussing news or topics, what were we talking about -- carley: i like the color scheme. pete: i'll trade you a green for a white. you know, let's switch it up -- will: tell the audience why you're doing this. [laughter] pete: our producers are very particular about how the pillows are arranged, so we figured we'd change it up. carley: i feel like the earth isn't rotating on its axis -- will: pillows are not coordinated. [laughter] pete: right when we cut to the first video clip, they're going to reshuffle them. carley: rachel, do you want me to reorganize the pillows? she said yes. pete: good luck with that. the bad soldiers took it away. carley: took the pillow away. [laughter] pete: you know. but it's good to be up here,
6:02 am
will cain. man, it's nice. will: it's been good. it's good to have carley with us as well. move this along. [laughter] pillow games there. let me see if i can get serious for us for just a moment, segway this into coordination from the white house. coordinated, see how i did that? policy when it comes to masking mandates, in one moment we're talking about impending doom, we're being advised that our children can't go to camp this summer without wearing a mask outdoor doors and the next, the it's lifted. here's peter doocy. >> there are a lot of questions about the timing of the cdc's announcement. did somebody at the biden administration or in the biden administration update this guidance for political reasonsesome. >> no. >> so what was the medical or sign terrific reasoning -- scientific reasoning? >> variants at various times has
6:03 am
been a concern about the need to continue toes mask even as you -- after you're vaccinated. and vaccinated people are less likely to transmit the virus. >> what happened to pieden saying in march -- president biden saying in martha he thought lifting mask mandates before every adult goes and gets the shot is neanderthal thinking? >> the cdc were the ones who determined what this guidance would be. that was not a decision directed by, made by the white house. pete: there you have it, and the pillows are back. [laughter] carley: that was a long sound bite. pete: all that happens in the commercial break. we will try to get serious, because that moment on thursday at 2:00 when it was the announced, it was truly one of those moments where you're watching live tv, and you're saying, is this happening? how could it go from 0-100 that quickly? theres has to be something else. was there really just a new study that just emerged? there wasn't. new urgency.
6:04 am
we suggest was it political, multiple crises, energy going wheres it is, the border, israel, all those things combined together, suddenly it's, hey, we take the masks off. carley: yeah. well, you know, you are so right about that because bretty area was on our air, and he said that the research they used, the research that they pointed to when they announced this was from april. so what has changed between then and now? we do know that some states have eased rules following the cdc guidance, so people are starting to follow it, but could they have done that earlier? why did this happen right now? could it be because of the science, or is it because of other external forces that are causing the biden administration to give us a little nugget? will, what do you think? will: on your screen are those states that have eased their mask requirements following the cdc guidance.
6:05 am
there's also some private retailers who have lifted their restrictions in the wake of this guidance as well. take a look at some of the companies who are making changes to their restrictions, their rules, their requirements when you enter their establishments. on the left they're keeping mask requirements, starbucks, target. the right companies like walmart, trader joe's -- pete: good for them. will: look, the story's important for many reasons. it's important to understand and ask the question about what is guiding policy, is it truly science or not. but i think there's a next step we have to take, and it needs to be pointed out as we're doing this. it's because these institutions like the cdc or officials in the biden administration will continue to give us guidance. they're going to give us guidance about when our children can be back on school, who needs to be vaccinated, and they're going to give us guidance on whether or not you need to carry a vaccine passport, and we need to remember on what basis are they making those decisions. were they, in the past, making it upon science? so will they in the future? if the answer's no in the past,
6:06 am
will it be yes in the future? that's why this is important. pete: and it's ongoing. will: right. pete: fauci yesterday said, hey, if your kids are young and they're going to go back to school in september and they're not vaccinated, they still need to wear masks. but the teachers would be vaccinated if they choose to be. everybody has access now. everybody has information to make their own choices for themself. it's been shocking to watch some of these experts from the white house, so-called experts in the white house talk about we should give people choices. western let them, you know, at this point it's about incentivizing -- where have you been on that? common sense has been reprevailing in states like texas for a very long time, states like florida. it roads public trust -- erodes public trust in institutions. they've shattered that trust by ignoring us every time. carr car it's so interesting because a lot of people are probably like, what's the big fuss about because they've had mares mask -- their mask
6:07 am
mandates lifted for a long time, but in states like new york and new jersey, it's still a thing that people have to follow. and new jersey governor phil murphy, he posted a between yesterday and said the reason he isn't going to lifts mask mandate is because of something dr. fauci said. so the guidance is all over the place between what the cdc is saying and fauci and biden and local leaders. here's greg gutfeld on the new mask mandate guidance. watch. >> so why did they change? is it because they now followed the science? no, because if they had, they would have come to this conclusion a while ago. fact is they didn't follow the science, they followed you. i think knew that if they kept pushing the america public too far, we were going to push back. the experts knew you were right, but they couldn't admit it. and anybody married is laughing at that right now. see, all their guidance is based on fear; fear of not being wrong, but fear of being exposed. why is that? well, these are not leaders.
6:08 am
how can you tell? they played it safe. that's not a leader. pete: yeah. greg went on to say it's like getting together to use a sports analogy with your assistant coaches, and ultimately they don't want to go for it on fourth down, but the coach says go for it on fourth down. it's been the exact opposite so far from this administration. so you're going to get confusion. people going into places in their businesses, asking their principals, mask on, mask off. why not? why would you make me wear it if you're vaccinated? it's going to get worse in that context when all we really need is -- carley: clarity, absolutely. will: leadership is a balancing of interests. it's not following the, quote-unquote, science to a zero-risk lifestyle. it's about taking some risk tolerance on. and i would suggest when it came to these covid violations, these covid regulations, it wasn't declining to go for it on fourth down, this was punting on second down.
6:09 am
this was absolutely not real science then the, and it won't be going forward in the future. one more story -- pete: punting on second down. carley: great with the analogies. that was good. i liked it, i did. will: sports is my jam. pete: i know. let's move to the border for one moment. will: yesterday we showed you pictures of an 8-year-old who had crossed the border without their parents and without contact information. these are two small children among 20 migrants being smuggled in the sealed bed of a truck cargo trailer. "the new york times" reporting that joe biden has lashed out at hhs secretary xavier becerra during an oval office meeting. you see those images, it just continues to get visually worse. carley: you know, actually, i think these two stories are sort of tied together in a strange way when we talk about how democrats respond to covid-19 expect border crisis -- and the
6:10 am
border crisis. wul, you brought it up before. moral superiority. democrats also take moral superiority when with it comes to the border. i completely understand that. these people are hurting, and i think we all have such a heart for these people. but you also have to look at the unintended consequences when you think about all the drugs that are pouring into our country. we had two ranchers from texas on earlier in the show, and they say that their property's being destroyed, there are people that are crossing through their property, and there was a border sheriff that was on fox earlier in the week, and he said that, you know, a lot of these illegal immigrants when they're crossing, they're, you know, breaking a lot of fences to get into the country. and he made a great point. he said if a lawmaker in washington had his property, his or her fence destroyed in front of her house, they would want something to be done with that. but it's radio silence from folks like kamala harris -- can. pete: to your point, the biden administration is controlled by
6:11 am
cartels down at the southern border and teachers unions that control what they've been doing with our kids' lives which has changed everyone's life. we call it my grant, but these are -- migrants, but these are illegals. you don't run across the river. that's an illegal act, and right now because those signals are being sent, we're effectively facilitating trafficking of humans and drugs. this network has done a great job with some of those live images showing the human cost, because it's real. will: we talked with former secretary of state mike pompeo about what can we do about it, how can it be fixed. listen. >> in the end, these are the biden administration's policies that have caused this human tragedy, this crisis on our southern border. in the end, this comes from the top. in the end, if you give a directive to your vice president, your vice president has the obligation to execute it. to watch a bit of a keystone cops exercise and people pointing one way or the other trying to offload blame
6:12 am
fundamentally mistakes the problems down at our southern border. whoever's in charge needs to get their act together, and we we need to clean this up. i heard vice president harris say this is going to take time. no, it was right when you took over. go back to those policies, and our border will get back to where we need it to be again. carley: yeah. leadership. pete: unfortunately, that's likely the last thing they would ever do, although they are building a little bit of the border wall because of environmental stuff, but they'd never acknowledge that might have actually worked. carley: see what happens on that front. we've got to turn to some headlines now. a fox news alert, right now a live picture from gaza where an israeli airstrike destroyed a media building bringing down the entire 12-story building. no word on injuries. meanwhile, the u.s.. embassy in tel aviv is temporarily suspending routine visas due to violence in the middle east as israeli troops are patrolling the west bank

6:36 am
side of hamas in the gaza. strip fighter all those rockets -- firing all those rockets into israel. and now we've had uprisings beginning yesterday in the west bank and palestinian areas which we hadn't seen before. 11 were killed yesterday, and, of course, with each drop of blood shed in this conflict, the technologieses rise each higher. -- tension rises even higher. that was going on yesterday and today and also some of the cities in israel proper. there's been an awful lot of tension this week, jew on arab, all sorts of mob violence, and it has been really horrific. and this is scaring the people who live here, i would say, as much as the rocket attacks. now, in terms of the rocket attacks, there was a real barrage into central israel this afternoon, the biggest one we have seen in a couple of days. it had been mostly relling gated to the south of israel along the border, but tel aviv was hit and

what israel's facing right now. >> so hamas is a terrorist organization, pete, as you know, that was put in i guess it was about 10 or 12 years ago. they claim to have been elected, but the way hamas and islamic jihad works is they use fear and intimidation just like the mob did back in the old days to get their ways. so if you question them, you're going to have problems with your business, with your family. look at gaza as one giant prison p. i don't know how else to describe it. the guards are actually terrorists. and the conflict that's been going on specifically in gaza with hamas with these rockets, what we're seeing now is coming up on 2,000 rockets fired in the last three or four days. these skirmishes and war is this eclectic thing in israel. this isn't new for us. every six or seven years we've
6:40 am
had a war. we had a war in '48, we had the six-day war, the yom kippur war and into the '90s, so israelis are acclimated to this. the tricky thing with hamas is that with social media the rhetoric has been enflamed to such a high degree9 that the misinformation that's being spread is almost as dangerous if not more dangerous than the missiles. we have an entire drone system which is incredible. we're able to shoot down 98% of these rockets. the size of the rockets, the range, the fact that they can get to tel aviv now9 and the fact that they have so many of them stocked up. but this is normal business, pete, in israel. five or six years, guess what happens? we go in, we clean up, and we come back out again. this is the price of having a jewish state surrounded by 28 -- pete: i've got to ask you about that misinformation because hamas tries very hard to portray
6:41 am
their side as the victims of indiscriminate bombings when it's actually the other way around. talk to our viewers about what israel does to mitigate civilian casualties whereas hamas is i indiscriminate. >> yeah. so we call hamas hallywood, they go out with cameras, and blythe or not, israelis don't want anybody dead. it's always a farce -- all a farce. they basically get pieces of footage to show the plight and the suffering. but, i mean, i served, you know, dressed as an arab going undercover, and ramallah are's a beautiful city, by the way. the west bank is a much different animal than gaza. the problem with gaza is that hamas has taken every dollar the u.s. has given them and used it to dig tunnels, you know, like "shawshank redemption". imagine hundreds of them between
6:42 am
egypt and gaza to smuggle missiles. they use this misinformation not only to spread if vitriol, but now they're using it, pete, to rouse a million plus arab-israeli citizens who serve in our military, who serve on our police forces, who serve in our businesses, who serve in our cabinet, who serve in our government, and they're riling up the internal, they're creating internal conflict between the arab-israeli citizens inside of israel in different israeli towns to try and generate more fear and chaos. and so it's creating this monstrous civil disturbance where cars are being burnt. and basically, what they're capable of doing is blowing this all out of context and making it seem like israel is the bad guy when, in fact, the amount of money and training, the amount of beatings i took in my pipeline to not shoot an
6:43 am
innocent civilian, imagine taking a knife, -- we don't want these terrorists dead. we want to extract information so we can prevent a future attack. the amount of painstaking detail that we go through to not harm civilians is what separates us from them. they will put the kid in front, we put the kid behind us. everybody knows it. t not a mystery. and -- it's not a mystery. and just glad we can get up here and talk about -- pete: absolutely, aaron cohen, we need experts like you out there talking. thanks so much, aaron. >> thanks, pete. pete: all right. and that was that. and now we have a tease for a future segment, i believe. will: we're on the fly here. [laughter] pete: no, but this guy, undercover -- will: yeah, absolutely. that kind of information -- pete: knows exactly what he's talking about. will: still ahead, rachel maddow had this to say about the new

6:48 am
they've lost their moral superiority. they've lost their identity, you're absolutely correct. i think it's laid out perfect hi for you by a tweet from david haugh who is a political activist. he tweeted the following: i feel the need to continue wearing my mask outside even though i'm fully vaccinated because the inconvenience of having to wear a mask is worth it if people don't think i'm a conservative. so he's wearing it to signal to you that he's not a conservative. this wasn't about science. this was about something -- i don't want to say deeper, or actually much more shallow to them. and here's the thing about rachel maddow's search for moral superiority and a new identity, she will find it. she will find a new issue on which to project her superiority over you. and i won't be about the substance, it won't be about an honest debate, it'll just be a chance to dunk on her opponent. carley: we really are at a place in our country where it happens
6:49 am
really on both sides where you look at the other side and you don't think that they're wrong, you think that they're bad. and i think it really happens with liberals targeting conservatives. obviously, david hogg thinks people who don't wear a mask even if they're vaccinated are bad people. but you also have to remember what we have always been told which is that phrase that we've been saying for the past four hours, and that's follow the science. at what point do you become a vaccine denier? at what point do you start to really question the vaccine so much that you think that you are going to get sick even if you get it? and that may happen, but scientists, doctor after doctor says even if you do get covid and you're vaccinated, you at least not going to die -- will: yeah, but i'm less concerned about that than i am about honest questions about this vaccine that people have, and they're worthy questions and branding them as anti-vaxxers. pete: we have to live in a world
6:50 am
where you can ask those questions, make decisions for yourself -- will: especially their kids. pete: you shouldn't have to reveal in any context. ironically, like david hogg putting a mask on, he's signaling he didn't get vaccinated because they're telling everybody who's not vaccinated, you still have to wear a mask. could the assumption be you're not vaccinated? it gets very twisted, and hopefully we can all not view the other person by mask or no mask. carley: exactly. and then we're going to get into vaccine passports, you know that's absolutely going to happen. how schools, how governments, how states, how businesses handle it all. there's still a lot -- i mean, we are a year into this pandemic, and we see the light at the end of the tunnel, but there are so many up answered questions about how things are going to continue down the pipeline. up next, janice dean previews the preakness stakes happening tonight. there she is.
