whole behind me where the rocket made impact that this apartment block just towards the end of your newscast. there were only limited physical injuries but you can only imagine the fear people must have experienced given the damage done by the shrapnel. i spoke to a few little children trying to put on a brave face saying they are scared but they are able to sleep at night as long as there are no sirens going off the us has been party to the talks to broker some sort of truth here and while president biden has been very clear that israel has the right to defend itself and presumably is happy to see hamas and capabilities diminished we are hearing president biden say that he would like to see a cease-fire.

there have been 3400 rockets fired from the gaza strip and israel including the one that hit here yesterday. it was as i said quite miraculous that there were only light injuries despite the amount of damage and several hours after the rockets hit and people were still trying to clear out their belongings with the help of police the sirens rained out again just as people were getting back inside the building and had to run for shelter again. gaza city hospitals already bustling under the demands of covid it is injuries mount so does the stress there. some estimates are at the beginning of the conflict for every four militants hit or killed, one civilian was struck but now some say it is 1-to-1. the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff has said it is time for a cease-fire before things get out of hand, quote, he said it is in no one's interest to continue fighting with my

assessment is you risk stabilization and a series of negative consequences if the fighting continues so in my view de-escalation is a smart course of action. at this point for all parties concerned. that is it, it has been horrible for both sides and gaza and here where people are living under the constant sound of sirens, running for shelter, losing homes, but to some extent it is under control and if there was a much bigger event, a mass casualty event or a bigger one in gaza the conflict could take on a different tenor. laura: thank you. todd: president biden pressed for a cease-fire during talks with israeli prime minister benjamin and yahoo. jillian: progressives seek to delay the onslaught in israel.

>> reporter: there was a high-level phone call yesterday. here's what the white house says about this exchange between president biden and benjamin netanyahu, the president expressed his support for a cease-fire and discussed us engagement with egypt and other partners to that end but don't look for any grand gestures from the administration. >> our approach is intensive diplomacy, that is where we feel we can be most effective. >> reporter: in light of the recent attacks by hamas and counterstrike's in israel the president's public stance to defend israel's right to defend itself is not sitting well with many members of his own party and some of them want the president to delay a $735 million arms sales to israel. >> we are looking for a cease-fire. that is what the administration should be working on and it's not the right time to be sending more military equipment without guarantee of a cease-fire.

>> reporter: many republicans say there is no question who is to blame for the latest conflict. >> to say that both sides, both sides need to de-escalate, downplays the responsibility the terrorists have for initiating the conflict in the first place. so let's leave no doubt where america stands. >> in fact a group of senate republicans this week plan to introduce a resolution to support israel's right to defend itself.

on us companies. congressman steve scalise is the president's agenda comes in a major price in the american people are the ones paying for it. >> the crisis at the border is very real and created because president biden literally got rid of the policies that were working just because he didn't like donald trump. trunk negotiated a deal with mexico to finally have mexico not only conforming our southern border but mexico's southern border. you can go down the list, inflation is through the roof, families are realizing right now the biden -- when they are paying more for lumber, more for food at the grocery store. it is all across the board, people are fed up, that is one of the reasons we're going to win the house back next year. >> is more states scrapped federal pandemic payments to get people back to work the biden administration starting child tax credits in july spending $300 a month to 39 million households. >> the physician calling for the nfl to retire pat tillman's number 40 jersey, tell him of the nfl to a list in the united states army in the wake of the september 11th attacks. he died in 2004 while in combat. the petition is asking the nfl to retire new jersey on the

the statements from president biden you would hardly know palestinians existed at all. many members of congress have instead fallen back on the blanketed statement defending

his relapse airstrikes against civilians under the guise of self defense. >> the president and many other figures stated israel has a right to self-defense but do palestinians have the right to survive? >> the democratic party divided on israel is president biden faces growing pressure from progressives to leverage military aid and push for end to the conflict blocking the holy hand. >> blocking the resolution fractal terrorism is house homeland security committee member congressman carlos jimenez. thank you for being here, appreciate it. >> my pleasure like always. >> you are leading an effort to call out hamas as a terrorist group. tell me why you are doing this? >> >> because they are a terrorist group. over land dispute they started launching rockets indiscriminately at this 1 billion population of israel. israel has a right to protect its citizens. it citizens, demanded israel protect them and for that reason and others hamas system is treated they are a terrorist organization. they are taking advantage of the new administration testing the new administration's resolve to back our greatest ally in the area, israel.

todd: here's your resolution for those of us at home who have not read it. the house of representatives condemned the acts of terrorism committed by hamas, recognizes jerusalem as a legitimate capital city of the state of israel supports his relapse efforts of self-determination and collective security and reaffirm support for policies and initiatives combating anti-semite behavior around the world. that is in stark contrast to the compilation of soundbites we heard at the top from members of the squad. how dangerous is that rhetoric but we did hear from the squad? >> it is exactly what hamas and other terrorist organizations want to hear from the united states and so the rhetoric they are starting right now is actually helping this conflict to continue. what we need to do is support israel and once hamas and

hezbollah and other arab nations understand that the united states will stand with israel like they did in the last four years of the trump administration, strong supporters of israel that will lead to peace, that is what we need. we don't need aoc and the squad spouting that we need to somehow support the palestinian terrorists from hamas and hezbollah. we need them to stand with the democratic nation, our ally israel. jillian: the support how president biden is handling this? >> so far yes, he said the right things but this is a test of the biden administration. a lot of things "happening now" are test to the biden administration, the policies the administration is putting forward, $6 trillion at home, they want this president to move in the direction the american people do not want to go into and israel and hamas in the

conflict there are one example of progressives on the democrat party want to take this country where the majority of americans stand firmly i believe with israel. todd: with this conflict in the middle east should the biden administration be doing more or should we stand our ground at this point? >> we should show our support. i have 0 democrats supporting this resolution. that is an important signal being sent to hamas and hezbollah in the middle east. democrats need to support this resolution so we the united states stand firm and united in our support of the state of israel and the terrorist act of hamas and hezbollah. jillian: did you expect to gain democratic support? did the surprise you are not? >> it surprised me. that resolution 5 years ago would have gathered a bunch of democrats in support of the state of israel. they are petrified of the squad,

the progressive wing of their party and so they don't -- if you ask they support, i believe, support this resolution but they are terrified of the squad. that is why are have i believe no democrats of yet signed on. i have over 60 of my colleagues of signed on on the republican side and i expect the republican party of this goes to a vote all of my colleagues on the republican side will vote for this resolution. >> how problematic could this be for the democrats come 2022? >> it could be very problematic. the democrats are terrified of the squad. the squad is standing with hamas and so they may have to pay a political price for it and if that is the case, so be it. they need to stand for freedom,

with our allies and reject the policies of the progressive left, the socialist progressive left headed by the squad at this point. ashley: appreciate you getting up with us. jillian: still to come, one of the highest vaccination rates in the country can be found in a tiny republican stronghold. he county manager joins us next to explain what they are doing differently. todd: governor andrew cuomo cashing in on the pandemic in a big way, making millions on his book on leadership. we will tell you the numbers.

>> a small republican town in new york state has one of the highest vaccination rates in the country. enabling guilty over 66% a residents are vaccinated as compared to 37% of americans have gotten a shot nationwide. joining me to discuss is the chairman of the hamilton county board of supervisors, thanks for being here, appreciate it. what has created your guilty's success? >> counties don't often get to pick their battles, we are the problems always, boots on the ground for a lot of things and emergency management is one of those things. we got emergency management plans in place, we have prepared for this. what we've seen is the communities come together and engaged the way the plans would anticipate from community members, volunteer fire, volunteer ambulance, public health department has done a great job keeping everybody organized, emergency managers,

sheriff's department, it is a huge team effort. >> it is a republican stronghold so interesting because you do you the argument on the left the republicans are the vaccine holdouts at least some of them, don't want to group everybody into one box but when you look at your town, that is not at all a case where you live. >> know, it really isn't and i think our communities don't see this as a political issue, they see it as a community problem whether it is trying to figure out how to make sure that our schools don't end up going remote or how to get neighbors, small business back open, bars, restaurants where their daughter works, people see it as a community problem and community rallies to get the problem solved, the way to get the problems always get vaccinated so we can reopen and get people

back to work, we are tourism mecca in the summer, summer is nearly upon us, we want to ensure our community is protected from people coming in from the outside. >> how are your businesses doing? restaurants and things like that? >> restaurants and hotels have had a rough patch with the limitations on travel and limitations on indoor dining, those things through the winter. they've gotten by but we need a good season and that is what the community recognizes and why everybody is so committed to making sure they have a safe summer where people are open. restaurants and businesses can't be in a position where they are finding employees out sick, quarantine isolated during the heat of the summer season. we need a solid end to end summer season to restore the revenue they lost during the pandemic? jillian: look like a beautiful area. thank you, love to see how your progress continues. >> my pleasure, you have a great day. todd: it does look beautiful. still had a terrifying moment

that may be hard to watch. >> he hit it. my goodness. got him in the face. >> an update after taking a 94 mile an hour fastball to the face. the cdc says your kids should remain masked through the summer but our next guest, a doctor says that mandate is harmful to their health. the conversation you don't want to miss next.

is president biden has a stern message to the with point since april of 2020.

>> reporter: president biden, covid cases are plummeting by 81%, the lowest point since april 2020, didn't stop the president from giving unvaccinated americans a stark warning, listen. >> if the unvaccinated get vaccinated they will protect themselves. if they do not, states with low vaccination rates may see those rates go up, may see this progress reversed, those who are not vaccinated will pay the price. >> 157 million americans have been vaccinated with one dose so far according to the cdc this morning, this as the biden administration announces the united states will share more of its use approved covid 19 vaccines by the end of next month pledging 80 million vaccine doses globally. >> the united states will send 20 million doses to hook countries battling the pandemic,

this is addition to all the manufactured astrazeneca vaccine doses oversees the most donated by any country in the world. >> more states are shedding pandemic restrictions, the nations capital, hawaii and new jersey have mask mandate in place, 24 states align with the cdc or soon will be, 14 lifted their mask mandate prior to the guidance but 11 never had a statewide mask order. some states eliminating federal extended unemployment benefits, states hope to get people back to work after sluggish job growth in april. >> children, from the cdc mass confusion but one doctor is pushing back over the potential long-term impact masks can have on your kids. in recent topic calling for the rules to be relaxed she writes, quote, for most young people the social and emotional benefits of taking masks off outdoors greatly outweigh the personal

and public health advantages of keeping them on. the author that piece, doctor lucy mcbride joined me now to discuss, thank you for being here, how did you arrive at that conclusion. >> great to be here. the fact is this. outdoor transmission of coronavirus is extremely unlikely. it is very very -- it is not documented the cases have been occurring between outdoor -- casual encounters like sitting at a restaurant or walking on the sidewalk, that is not where covid is happening. it is happening in indoor crowded spaces among unvaccinated people. when kids have been suffering for so long from pandemic restrictions the benefits of convening outside with their friends and seeing the full range of facial expressions in their peers is huge. it doesn't make sense to mask kids on fox and aided outside,

to mask anyone really outside. >> 5 years ago reaction to this op-ed by you would have been cool but obviously in this type of politicized time we live in things of changed. what has been the reaction to your op-ed? >> it has been largely positive but there was pushback because as you said the pandemic restrictions up and highly politicized. in my world when i'm seeing patients every day and i'm rooted in science and evidence there's nothing political about masking outside. it is simply following the science. outdoor transmission doesn't happen. >> the guidance from the cdc on summer camps. they want your kids to wear masks at all times 6 and when eating, swimming and napping, the mask mandate applies to vaccinated staff endeavors, social distance 3 feet within

coverts, social distance 6 feet everywhere else. are those guidelines based in evidence? >> it doesn't makes anyone to be masking outside. is it possible for transmission to happen? sure if unvaccinated people are crowded around the playground or with outdoor picnic tables, it is highly unlikely. when you add the fact the case rates are falling fast and more shots going to arms in the united states kids and unvaccinated people are indirectly protected from the virus so it makes outdoors even more safer when it was already safe to begin with. >> if you're in charge of setting mask policy for the entire country how would you clear up this confusion we seem to have, i was with the pediatrician yesterday. i think there's general confusion even among you guys. >> there is confusion because

we've seen the cdc struggle with messaging. at the same time they're doing the best they can trying to message a very wide public. is what i'm telling my patients. while it is true the vaccines are stunningly effective and prevent you from getting covid, prevent you from transmitting the virus there's always a risk because everybody has unique medical positions. what is important to do is talk to your doctor can understand your unique health and safety issues and make a smart decision for you and your community. if you're unvaccinated is time to get vaccinated because that is the way to protect yourself, your community and that is the take-home message, get vaccinated so you can enjoy the freedom of those of us who have had the vaccine. >> we talked a lot about the unknowns with regard to the virus new jersey point out there are a lot of unknowns as to what developmental difficulties kids today are going to have when

they are adults, 10 or 20 years from now because of the masks, not being up to read facial expressions and all flat. appreciate your time and insight this morning, thank you very much. >> embattled new york governor andrew cuomo received $5 million for his book on leadership during the pandemic. republican candidate for new york governor lisle and sell it off on the ingraham angle. >> this is blood money, profiting off of suffering physically, emotionally, financially of your constituents. what he should've done this time last year was show remorse. >> cuomo as texas revealed he is set to receive another $2 million for the book next year. he is the subject of two investigations for allegedly hiding nursing home deaths as well as claims of sexual misconduct. the supreme court agrees to a showdown over abortion was it will hear i commence over mississippi law that bans almost all abortion after 15 weeks. the case will be a major test of the highest court's new
