we'll hopefully get back amy in a little bit to report from the scene. we have amy back. all right, we lost you for a minute while you were going to get shelter. what can you tell us? >> reporter: yeah, i don't know where this rocket has landed or in fact whether the iron dome defense system intercepted. we're in the basement of the synagogue that hit yesterday. the rocket hit the rabbi's bedroom in his house which is adjacent to the synagogue and then came through here. we wanted to show a massive hole inside the synagogue but we've run down to shelter to be safe. people were remarking that it had been a quiet morning, maybe that was something to do with a pending truce. but it appears that the hamas activity has started up again this morning. we've been hearing israeli air strikes on gaza this morning and we know that since last night a
2:01 am
hamas had only fired 60 rockets toward israel and 10 had fallen inside the gaza strip. the situation is dire and we know the death toll is 200, a quarter to one-third of those are children and bernie sanders, senator bernie sanders tweeted out last night, we must take a look, a hard look at nearly $4 billion a year in military aid to israel, it's illegal for the u.s. to support human rights violations. again, israel, though, has a much lower death toll, 10. but still people are living like this, running constantly down to shelters, never knowing where the next rocket is going to hit. like in this synagogue here. benjamin netanyahu last night defending israel's response to all of this. >> we need more pipelines, not fewer pipelines. pipelines are a lifeline for our
2:02 am
energy, for our economy. >> reporter: i'm going to try the to get upstairs now that it seems the sirens are over of and i would like to show you the big hole in the wall of this synagogue, if you've still got our signal because it is dramatic and they were very lucky he that nobody was hurt here. because nobody happened to be in the synagogue at the rabbi happened not to be at home. if you're still with us, take a look at that hole from the rocket that hit here yesterday at the synagogue and today is a jewish holiday. people were back inside worshiping this morning. jillian and todd, back to you. todd: one amazing shot there. the poise that you had to continue with your hit and give us the various elements that were in your original of hit while you're running for shelter, unreal work, amy. thank you so much and please, please, please stay safe. jillian: remarkable job, amy. thank you. all right, we'll keep you updated there. take a look at shocking video of

bleachers collapsing in a west bank synagogue. at least two people are dead, more than 150 people are hurt. hundreds were packed in the unfinished building, celebrating the beginning of a jewish holiday. arrests are expected. todd: two minutes after the hour now, gas shortages and rising prices ayou cross the act coast after hackers force a shut down of the colonial pipeline. >> reporter: the pipeline is back in service. some gas stations in the southeast are still struggling. according to gas buddy, 80% of the gas stations in the nation's capital are out of gas. it also says 58% of north carolina gas stations are without gas as well as 48% of south carolina stations being dry, along with gas shortages comes the worry of price gouging. some areas getting hit with that harder than others. with people seeing the highest
2:04 am
prices since 2014. take a look at this, right now in d.c. it's $3.14, maryland it's $3.06 and then in virginia it's right at $2.95 per gallon. when it comes to pipelines, one republican congressman says we need more, not less. >> we need more pipelines, not fewer pipelines, pipelines are a lifeline for our energy, for our economy, for jobs. this administration has been asleep at the switch on this. if one pipeline goes down, and can cause this amount of panic and these long lines, it tells you how vulnerable we are. >> reporter: earlier in the week, the senator released a statement saying the cyber attack on the pipeline should concern every american. president biden is apparently set to meet with republican lawmakers to discuss his spending plan. listen. >> we certainly need infrastructure in this country to remain competitive around the world but with the democrats and under the biden administration, when everything is infrastructure, nothing is
2:05 am
infrastructure. >> reporter: texas congressman babin also warns about the potential of seeing even more of those cyber attacks in the future. todd, jillian. todd: ashley, thank you very much. jillian: as the nation experiences major gas shortage, michigan governor gretchen whitmer is threatening to shut down a 70-year-old pipeline to prevent pollution of the great lakes. she called the pipeline which pumps 540,000 gallons per day a, quote, ticking time bomb. the owners say they will keep going until a court stops them. todd: dr. fauci said the pandemic exposed racial inequities during a commencement speech. >> the unacceptable disparities in health experienced by minority group relate to the social determinants of health dating back to conditions that some people of color find themselves in from birth, regarding the availability of adequate diet, access to healthcare and the undeniable
2:06 am
effects of racism in our society. todd: fauci says this could take decades to fix and urged graduates to be part of the healing process. jillian: tax returns are due today. the traditional mid-april deadline was pushed back to buy americans more time because of the pandemic. but if you live in texas, oklahoma and louisiana, the irs extended the deadline to june 15. if you're still not ready you can file for a five month extension. you can face a penalty for each month you don't pay. todd: i am still waiting for my refund. i had to pay one state. jillian: i'm waiting for mine too. todd: you filed pretty early. jimmy carter 2.0, our next guest compares president biden's struggles with the same issues that set in during the carter years, wall street journal editorial board member bill mcgern says there's a crisis of confidence setting in.

todd: welcome back. 10 minutes after the hour now. the nations' top health experts are defending the mixed mask messaging from the cdc. dr. marty makary joins us live with the latest. dr. marty, here's the deal if the cdc was a doctor, i would find another doctor. if i go to the doctor, i want an answer. i don't want the lawyer hypothetical, where it depends. that's why i went into law.
2:11 am
i want answers from my doctor. tell me, dr. marty, what am i supposed to do with my kids if they are of vaccine age. >> well, i would say that it's an individual choice. we've got to respect those who choose not to get it. people tend to think of a vaccine as a way to prevent dying from covid. but in kids it's probably different. kids who are healthy have a close to zero chance of dying of he covid. it really is those with co-morbidities who are at risk. the reason to get is to prevent the inflammatory syndrome, that condition where people go in the icu and that's affected over 10,000 kids. it's not the risk of dying. it's the risk of the inflammatory syndrome that's the reason to get it in kids. todd: so that's the baseline when it comes to vaccines. now let's focus on -- my head is spinning from all the mask stuff coming out of the cdc. i don't know what to do when i'm outside, when i run, you can't,
2:12 am
you condition. what is -- you can. what is the guidance when it comes to kids? what do you want your patients to do. >> i'll tell what you the cdc is saying and i'll tell you what i think people should do. the cdc lost so much credibility. this is the most political cdc in u.s. history. we saw the guidance coming out on fully vaccinated people last week, rushed out without any lead which normally we've gotten with every bit of guidance thus far. it was clearly -- there was something political to it, either it was a distraction or it was a response to a lot of pent-up frustration of out there. if you're a kid, going to summer camp, they should live a normal life. that is what i believe. the kids are outdoors. if you look at the guidance it tells them to wear a mask outdoors and not in the bunks and when they sleep. so they should live a normal camp life. if they're in school, i would encourage them to wear a mask indoors. the that's what i would encourage for non-vaccinated kids. and no more distancing and no
2:13 am
more plexiglass. todd: i hesitate to ask this because my gosh, this could change an infinite amount of times between then and now but school is almost out for the year, we're rounding third base on the school year of 2021. what about this fall? any sense of what the guidance is going to be then or in your opinion what it should be? >> i have no confidence that they're going to really commit to an in-person full session school season next year. todd: really? >> and that's because what they say -- let's hope we get there, but what they say is that we hope to have kids or that we plan to but that's what they said this school year too and then they created enough barriers for the schools to be be,-to be open, enough conditions with testing and background levels of infections that schools didn't qualify. i'm concerned that the hysteria and fears over variants come
2:14 am
august and september is going to create preemptive precautions. i hope that's not the case but given the discussions and the politicalization and the union involvement, who knows. todd: do you think, though, that that movement, that power on the side of the unions and that fear of the variants is going to overcome quite frankly the feeling of, hey, we've made it, that we are all starting to experience now and that hopefully will continue of the course of the summer months? because based upon the people that i talked to, liberal, conservative, whatever, they're done with this. >> well, i think the unions have already planted the idea that the fear of variants is significant and if you look at the edits that were made in that private e-mail between the american teachers federation and the cdc, it was including language over the variants which kind of leads pandora's box open. the vaccine is 100% effective against all variants in he preventing death and serious illness.
2:15 am
the variant concern i think is overblown. the counter side is that the politicians are worried about their election so i think you'll see politicians say enough with the teachers, we can only pander to them so much. todd: i said i wanted a doctor that gave answers, dr. marty makary is that doctor. thank you. you're always unvarnished, unabashed, unafraid, that's tucker's line but that's what you do. thank you. we appreciate it. jillian: still to come, combat veteran joey jones will sound off on the steady stream of anti-israel attacks coming from progressives. this is the greatest idea you'll ever hear. okay, it's an app that compares hundreds of travel sites for hotels and cars and vacation rentals like kayak does for flights. so it's kayak. yeah, like kayak. why don't you just call it kayak.

2:19 am
attending the grand opening of nick filet restaurant, a play on words with chick-fil-a after the owner moved from pennsylvania because of fewer restrictions. watch. >> i saw everything that was going on, the restaurants are full, people were running businesses how they wanted to run it and i thought i have to be here. so i got in the car and i moved. and three months of later here we are with the governor here. todd: not only is it a play on words with chick-fil-a, do you know what that guy's name was? it was nick. the owner says he moved his restaurant out of pennsylvania after visiting the sunshine state and a seeing people encouraged to live normal lives under looser covid restrictions. josh hawley no stranger to big tech censorship, now his book about it is climbing the charts, the tyranny of big tech hitting number six on the list of non-fiction hard cover titles. it hit number 15 on amazon's

jillian: we are back with a fox news alert. overnight, israel launches new strikes on gaza as calls for as cease fire grow. todd: amy kellogg joining us live, she is now 0:inside the damaged synagogue we saw 25 minutes ago. amy, what is the very latest? >> reporter: yeah, well, as you know in the last half hour or so, the sirens went off here
2:26 am
across southern israel for the first time in a while and we went bolting down to the shelter here in the synagogue. we had wanted to show you the damage that had been done here yesterday and it's quite miraculous that nobody was hurt. it hit the rabbi's house first and then it came through the wall of the synagogue. it is a holy day. and so there's a lot of activity around synagogues today. in the meantime, there are some updated numbers for you in terms of the death toll in the palestinian areas, 198 people have been killed. so that's nearly 200. and 58 of them have been children. that is starting to really put increased pressure on this call for a cease fire. 10 israelis have been killed but they live under a constant fear of sirens and having to run to shelter as you saw us do a short while ago. now, the activity in gaza has continued overnight. there have been continued air
2:27 am
strikes. the israeli defense force says they're going after what they call the terror tunnels specifically of hamas where they hide and where they have infrastructure. bernie sanders, the senator, has tweeted out something about how, quote, we must take a hard look at the nearly $4 billion a year in military aid to israel. it is illegal for the u.s. aid to support human rights violations. again, the israelis, though, the situation has been different in terms of a death toll. they are living with this constant fear of when will a rocket hit, will it hit my house and what missiles will evade the iron dome defense system. again, close call at a synagogue here yesterday, a synagogue which sustained damage and here is prime minister benjamin netanyahu's response on israel's response to all of this. >> i mean, just imagine what would have happened if you had
2:28 am
2900 rockets fired on washington and new york and others, i think you would understand our position. i think you do. >> reporter: this morning when it had been quiet here, jillian and todd, people were saying maybe we're getting closer to a cease fire. there's been a flurry of diplomatic activity, there's a u.s. envoy here, qatar has been very, very instrumental in trying to bridge differences, egypt, the u.n., but we really don't have any hard facts about where that all stands. yesterday benjamin netanyahu did say that there was work yet to be done, they had a well laid out plan in advance foral of this, they are -- for all of this, they are going through it. they still had targets to hit. what he said to people which was quite chilling was you learn to change your life for coronavirus, now you're going to have to change your life a bit in the meantime for all of this. back to you. todd: amy, with all due respect, understanding this is very much a life an death had
2:29 am
situation, jillian and i have been commenting all morning long how fascinated we are with the iron dome system that is in place. can you briefly describe what it is like when the iron dome system is activated on your side, obviously there in israel. >> reporter: yes. you hear booms and you see what looks like sort of clouds in the sky with lots of swirls when the intercepts are made. 90% of the rockets that are fired get picked up by iron dome. we don't understand what makes a rocket to go through it. at the beginning, people were saying that hamas learned to fire fast barrages of rockets perhaps lower so it can over well many the system. you see white puffs in the sky where intercepts have happened. if it's dark you see it light up. that's how it works up. the israeli defense force was quite proud to say this morning that for the first time the iron
2:30 am
dome has simultaneously been able to take out the hamas rockets and hamas has become more sophisticated, but also ex he blow sieve drone -- explosive drones which are trying to start to fly into israel. jillian: stay safe. thank you very much. >> reporter: thank you. jillian: now to this. police departments across the country are bracing for a violent summer as warm temperatures ignite already soaring crime rates. how are law enforcement officers preparing. here to react, jackson county texas, andy lauderback and sheriff wayne ivy. thank you for being here. appreciate your time. >> good morning. thank you very much. jillian: we're going to pull up some of the numbers here, the homicide numbers as they skyrocket from just a year ago, you'll see up 27% in new york city, up 100% in minneapolis, up 57% in atlanta and 800% in portland. joey here in new york city, what do you think the next few months
2:31 am
are going to be like? >> this is probably going to be the worst summer we've seen in a while. this is obama 2.0. we're going back to what we had just over five years ago, every day the president tries to find a reason to blame the world's problems on the police. i'm getting tired of hearing officers are targeting black and brown people. that's wrong and it's false. they target high crime areas of vie license. it's there job to take the bad guys off the street. jillian: what are you prepic pg for? >> here in texas, the same. this police week issue from our perspective here in texas is one of utter and total disrespect by the president for law enforcement. it is a very similar situation we ran into five years ago with the obama administration. you know, the flags at half mast on may 10th, the proclamation
2:32 am
that a few short days later was not able to do that, so honor, where's the honor here for the fallen line of duty deaths for law enforcement? we're in for a tough time. jillian: sheriff ivy, there is a rise in firearm background checks you'll see from year-to-date from april 2020 to april 2021, it's up to 3.4 million. tell me what the situation is like in florida and how you're preparing your team. >> well, first i think it's important to recognize that the firearms purchases are happening because good, law abiding citizens are ready to protect themselves. they know that they're the first line of defense for them and their family, law enforcement is there, we're responding as soon as something happens. but they're making sure that they have their second amendment in check and ready to protect their families. for us in florida, we're blessed. governor de santis recently signed an anti-riot bill here in
2:33 am
the state of florida. our crime rate continues to drop in the state of florida. my own community, we're down 44%. so we're monitoring everything, as always law enforcement is going to be prepared. a couple things that were said earlier, what's happening right now where we need a president that's going to stand shoulder to shoulder with us, help us protect america, not one that's buying into this rhetoric that the people are citizens are out there bashing law enforcement. overwhelmingly, americans across the country support and trust their law enforcement officers. just a small group of vocal ankle biters out there that are bashing us. jillian: let's pull up the quote, what president biden had to say and this reads, there is a deep sense of distrust towards law enforcement, a distrust that has been exacerbated by the recent deaths of several black and brown people at the hands of law enforcement. these deaths have resulted in a profound fear and resulting breakdown in trust between law
2:34 am
enforcement and the communities they have sworn to protect. sheriff ivy, i'll go back to you. the president is saying that there is a breakdown in trust between law enforcement and the community. do you see that where you are? >> not even close. in brevard county, our citizens love us, they trust us, they protect us as much as we trust and protect them. we're not seeing that at all. it's a very small, vocal group of ankle biters that are out there bashing law enforcement. what they tried to do, the same group ran defund the police up the flag pole and they got no wind. now they're trying to run up the flag pole, defame the police. they're trying to destroy the brand of law enforcement. our president should stand with us, shoulder to shoulder, making sure we have the resources we need and we have support from the white house that our men and women are going out there every day putting their lives on the line. jillian: sheriff, what is your response to what the president said? >> well, let's talk about the gun, jillian, let's talk about
2:35 am
gun sales. fear of government drives gun sales. every time we have the type of presidency that we're experiencing right now, gun sales are going to go up. and this is a very common occurrence here. let me talk about fear, true marks pain and exhaustion that our president talked about. in texas, we have hundreds of thousands of people coming across our border that are definitely brown. the other disrespect -- the utter disrespect for them, the dead bodies, the car crashes, the chases, the chaos that law enforcement experiences every day, this is the utter disrespect that's coming from the white house, from these policies that are being placed by this president. jillian: joey final word to you. what would you want the president to know? >> he's got to stop it. he has been in politics for a long time. he has to stop playing into the democrats.
2:36 am
we need someone that is a leader. it's very hard every day for officers to go out and love their jobs and as much as they want to help the communities, every day you wake up and you're told you're a demon, it's difficult to go out there and put a smile on your face and appreciate the job that you do. we've got to turn it around and he's got to be a leader. jillian: okay, joe, thank you all for joining us and for what you do for your communities. appreciate your time. todd: jillian, is the biden presidency a he repeat of the carter years? wall street journal editorial board member bill mcgern says there's a crisis of confidence setting in. he joins us next. jillian: combat veteran joey jones joins us at the end of the hour. you don't want to miss that. we'll be right back. ♪ we need to reduce plastic waste in the environment. that's why at america's beverage companies,

>> just over 100 days, we now haves gas lines we haven't had since jimmy carter, we have inflation we haven't had since the beginning of the '80s, we've got missiles in the middle east which we didn't have in the last four years, we've got a crisis along our wore deer. bother deer. we-car border. we were energy independent. now we're waiting in line for gasoline. this is absurd. todd: the crises mounting under president biden leading critics to draw comparison to the problems that plagued jimmy carter's administration. jillian: here to react is fox news contributor and former speech writer for george w. bush, bill mcgern. take a look at this headline it reads it's stunning how much success biden has managed to reverse, with long lines at pumps and rising inflation, it's looking like the jimmy carter era, except it took carter years
2:41 am
to produce the disaster this president has fostered in months. what is your response. >> i think people feel a lot of similarities, especially with iran behaving badly. remember iran and the hostages that bedeviled jimmy carter. the gas lines are certainly similar. it's hard to blame him immediately for this, this was hackers that targeted a key pipeline in the u.s. supply to the east. but his other policies, you know, he already killed another pipeline and his other policies are leaving us with few alternatives. it's very -- it's a stressed system, if something happens, and so we're very vulnerable, i believe. todd: i think one of the main issues that we're facing right now is that quite frankly probably half the population wasn't around during the '70s. i was only in for two years
2:42 am
during the '70s, i'm not trying to call you old here. can you remind the under-40 crowd how bad it was? >> it was terrible. not only gas lines, you could go on alternate days depending on whether your license plate ended in an odd or even number. i was staying with a relative in brooklyn and his apartment, people were hoarding gas. so there were gasoline cans in all these apartment buildings. it was a really desperate time. and this is -- one of the problems is we're heavily dependent on fossil fuels and joe biden is trying to kill fossil fuels. he may succeed in killing the fossil fuels before we have an adequate replacement for them. that's the real nightmare -- jimmy carter entered with very high approval ratings, the way joe biden has, because he followed a very controversial president who resigned, richard
2:43 am
nixon, and then gerald ford finishing out his term. so the similarities are really there and i think they're going to get worse for joe biden because his plan is so ambitious for government and we should have learned from shovel-ready that government is almost never ready. todd: and then jimmy carter lost an election to a guy who was pretty popular on stage and screen. i'm not saying that's going to happen in 2024, bill mcgern, but i think you know where i'm going with that. >> look, i think there's going to be a lot of contenders especially -- remember, jimmy carter's years, the republicans campaigned on the misery index. you know, about how life felt, the high interest rates, gas lines, inflation, and if joe biden's not careful he's inviting some of this with his policies. jillian: time will certainly tell. bill mcgern, thanks for joining us. have a good day.

convey the will of the people. todd: cheney's successor elise stefanik says cheney needs to move on. >> she is looking backwards. republicans are looking forward. we are unified and we are talking about conservative principles. president trump is an important voice in the republican party. we are working as one team. jillian: congressman dan crenshaw says voters don't care about the gop tension. take a listen to what he says. >> i never get asked about this. i get asked why is there rising inflation, why is there a border crisis, these are things that affect people. not the internal drama. this isn't that important to people. >> you signed onto that lawsuit that the texas attorney general filed, what you did gets weaponized by the former president. i understand you want to put this behind you but he is the leader of your party and he doesn't stop talking about this nonsense. >> he's one of many leaders in

the party. he's the former president. you guys in the press love doing this. the press is largely liberal. jillian: crenshaw insists he didn't believe the election was stolen and said there was, quote, no space in the party for that. republicans are condemning the firing of a space force commander who spoke out against marxist ideology and critical race theory. ted cruz tweeting trouble i tro. another writing he is a hero for putting on a uniform every day to defend the freedoms of the leftist mob attempting to cancel him. he was relieved from his post due to, quote, lack of trust and ability in the confidence to lead. todd: police officers are banned from participating in events coming up this june through at least 2025. the president of the gay officers action league joined me this hour and said this decision is taking the low road. listen. >> when you talk about law
2:51 am
enforcement, does this just mean the gay officers action league? because my understanding is that the nypd is still going to need be there present to police the event. todd: the nypd issuing a response to the decision, saying, quote, the idea of officers being excluded is disheartening and runs counter to our shared values of indilution and tolerance. that said, we'll still be there to ensure traffic safety and good order during this huge, complex event. jillian: still to come, joey jones sounds off on the steady stream of anti-israel attacks coming from progressives.

show leadership guarding the human rights of palestinians. how disturbing is it that these are comments coming from our own lawmakers. >> disturbing but not surprising at all. same lawmakers who defended people who burned down businesses buildings and homes and turned over cars and rioted our cities for months because of a single incident or a handful of incidents that were being adjudicated. so, what we know is that they understand outrage and they understand that controlling the narrative is more important than understanding the truth. now, really as a bomb tech, i think it's my responsibility to explain something right now. when you hear about hamas, a terrorist organization firing rockets, rockets are pay loads. those are bombs with propulsion behind them. you point them in a straight line and shoot them through the air they can land some of them within a one mile radius. what's within one mile of every military installation in the country or even inside every military installation, neighborhoods, homes and civilians, that's what's within one mile of every target you
2:57 am
could fire a target at at our country and to think the same thing doesn't exist in israel as is i nine. they are firing a rocket in the letting everything from gravity to chance to decide where that rocket lands. in return, israel has an iron dome missile defense system. every pay load israel sends into the air is specifically targeted and guided to only hit a rocket flying through the air. not people on the other side. when israel does an air raid they are using guided palms and pinpointing targets. absolutely there have been civilian quawrkts and when all of this is over with they will have to account for those. in a military operation, it's the offender, not the defender that has to account for civilian casualties. and so i want people to understand the difference in tactics here. hamas is literally indiscriminately firing hundreds of pay loads into israel without any concern as to where they may
2:58 am
land and israel is simply defending itself and trying to stop those rockets from being fired and for congress -- for people in the united states congress to act like they don't understand this is completely crazy. they do understand it they just know they can create outrage and peddle outrage and somehow continue to garner support in their little corner of american politics and not really worry about what's happening in israel. jillian: iron dome defense system is soil progressive when you see the images and videos it really, really is let's take a look at next topic for a second. next president kills former president trump's plan for america's garden sculpture. the national garden attempt to replace an attempt to erase our heroes and way of life what that is a former quote from the former president. what is your reaction to this, joey. >> our answer to woke culture in our schools, which is what is creating this problem, isn't a garden of sculptures.

although i appreciate that when i go to d.c., i pay homage to the war memorials that are there and i remember when we had a president that tried to stop us from even being able to do that over a sequester argument. the answer to this problem is what you are seeing every day. citizens in counties around this country taking back their school board. take back the curriculum that their kids are being taught and ensuring that they are not being indoctrinated to hate themselves or others based on their identity which is exactly what is creating this problem to begin with. george washington now because he wasn't a human being but we don't take noon account he lived in imperfect time. without his actions we would not have had a country to abolish slavery. everybody needs to be recognized for contribution when it comes to our history. i don't think that's a radical idea. i don't really have appear opinion on christopher columbus. i'm glad whoever stepped here first did.

and make this country a better place. when you talk about erasing people from our past the only way to rebut that is to teach and learn history. jillian: glad you are here because you make our show a better show. thank you for joining us and for your service. we really appreciate your time. >> thank you. todd: with that download the app. jillian: "fox & friends" starts right now. see you tomorrow. have a good day. >> conflict between israel and hamas shows no sign of letting up. >> idf says more than 3,000 rockets have been fired into israel. >> we're not going to let them get away with it and neither would you. >> cdc is not backing away from recommendations that kids in school keep wearing masks. >> we will not be changing our guidance for the end of this school year. most kids will not be vaccinated. >> what about the tens of millions who still support donald trump. >> they have been if we trade. >> it is he looking backwards. republicans are looking forward. >> space force commander is released from
