>> jen psaki had no comment when asked about how to block the administration's arms deal with israel. >> it perceives arms sales and notifications and went to congress. i would and speak to specific proposals you are asking about. >> bernie sanders and the squad pushing resolutions to stop sale of $735 million of weapons to israel. trey gowdy says the far left needs to stand with our allies, the fragile cease-fire could fall apart. >> that is a repudiation, bernie sanders, aoc and others, a hard time telling terrorists from our allies, talked to netanyahu,

sending a message to hamas and iran, not to need a cease-fire. tell them to stop firing rockets at israel and hopefully there will be a cease-fire. >> republicans related to the president urging him to reject calls from the far left. todd: arizona police officer being struck by a vehicle overnight. the police officer conducting traffic control when the individuals hit, no word on their condition. this is a developing story. we will update you as soon as more details are released. in colorado, a deputy shot multiple times, lincoln county sheriff's office said the deputy was ambushed while responding to a 9 one one call. the suspect was found a self-inflicted gunshot wound after an hours long manhunt.

crucial with compromises as they tried to bridge the difference between the president's plan and the republicans initial billion dollar offer. the clock is ticking to hammer out a deal but jen psaki is optimistic. >> there will be a range of proposals that will come forward from other republicans, the bottom line is he does not want to raise taxes on people making less than 400,$000 a year. >> senator o is leading the republican team and with urgent words saying, quote, we are all dedicated to finding the end result. we still have differences and needs to work through those. we are moving and obviously moving up because that would be moving towards the president's numbers but senate minority leader which mccall drew a line in the sand over how to pay for it.

>> this will slow the economy to a crawl and i think our chances of stopping it are pretty good. they would have to get every single democrat to bow on this. they may be able to pull it off but it will be really hard. >> reporter: the white house has a problem on the left, the progressive squad in the house led by alexandria ocasio cortez, the second capital security bill yesterday, speaker pelosi backed with $4.9 billion for capital police among other things. the squad opposed it saying it funded broken police system. the bill passed by one vote 213-212 emmons trading how narrow the margins are. with one vote margin in the senate, if what negotiators come up with is too little they may face problems on the left, difficult problems for president biden. >> to say the least. thank you.

after republicans go maskless at a crowded white house event. and she save face? beverly holberg says the rules never seem to apply. like nancy pelosi she joins us live. ♪♪

>> i have to make judgments based on what the vulnerability are. it is not a subjective decision. attending physician said into everybody is vaccinated, wear masks. >> speaker nancy pelosi insists on keeping the house mask mandate and finding lawmakers to break the rules but she's under fire for not covering up at a packed white house event filled with unmasked attendees.

todd: the president of district media group beverly holberg. these so-called leaders like nancy pelosi, can't get the mask messaging straight. what do the rest of us think at this point, we talk about how confused we are. >> doesn't help at all. some of the details behind the white house event, everybody was tested to prove they didn't have covid and everybody was vaccinated so she was at an event where everybody was vaccinated but that doesn't follow the cdc guidance for the house chamber where she is finding gop members for not wearing masks. the cdc clearly says that if you are vaccinated you are safe outside and inside regardless who you are around. for nancy pelosi this is about control, it is about theater and this does nothing to help the general public who is very

confused about the mask messaging. lawmakers are speaking out about this. congresswoman van dyne, from texas, here she is on posey's mask mandate. >> the only time se -- when they can use it as a weapon to control the american people. you've seen them ignore science regarding masks when they continue to control people and make them obey. is obey us or you will be punished. >> if you're making people still wear masks when they themselves are vaccinated it is not about science, it is a moral superiority virtues signal. it bothers people because it is another form of government control. >> in this situation it is about vaccine shaming, nancy pelosi

said this week she doesn't want the house chamber turning into a, quote, petri dish, people who don't get vaccinated are selfish. there are many reasons people choose not to get vaccinated. one of those may be they already had covenant recovered. some have other autoimmune diseases. she is out there shaming from. always of the critical about it whether it is going to a salon even though she was forcing businesses to shut down. rules for theen not for me. >> really lawmakers call for a special session to reverse a funding change after the city canceled the past they are's plan, slanted on people without anybody knowing. here's what legislation has in store for the city of kansas city. anything over 20% will go to a new community service and prevention fund and they are left to agree on that. what i find fascinating is the

state legislature potentially stepping in. do you expect to see more instances where states say you can't reduce police funding or defund the police in one of the biggest cities potentially hurting our cities and states, causing state budgets to go out of whack, dealing with the problems the cities of caused. >> when thinking about budgets you need leadtime to prepare for them. the police chief was caught offguard so you will see the state legislature jumping and here is the reality, kansas city is one of the 6 most dangerous cities in this country. if they follow the progressive ideology it makes neighborhoods that sign increase in violence more dangerous. a few people in city council that are following the defunding the police and citizens of kansas city have price. carley: i think back to abigail sandy berger, what she said in november when she said listen, we suffered heavily in congress because of ideas like defund the

police, usually doesn't work in democrats favor and you see things like the kansas city police defunding formula could reduce the budget by $42.3 million so if you are talking about losing power for this wire democrats still pushing these ideas? >> sometimes they think they have enough leadtime before elections come up again but i encourage them to look at a city like minneapolis who tried the same thing of reducing the money that goes to the police, violence increased, citizens didn't like it and it is the american people who see right through this, they need the police, 80% of black americans in this country want an increase of police force. this whole message is being pushed by a few progressives but it is not the american people want because they know it doesn't work. >> in one of these liberal -- pretty conservative state. if you're pulling this in kansas

city which probably is a democrat city. you are going to be in trouble in missouri. we appreciate your time on friday morning bright and early. still to come governor andrew cuomo and his family accused of skipping line to give priority covid tests all the way until last month. >> organization confirms vaccines effective against variance, very good news. overseas travel still wasn't safe. when can we do that? we will talk about all of this coming up next.

..

sit with the governor, they

wanted to test you before i was running covid response for the state, i didn't want to get covid. the same was done everywhere across the country. >> kendra cuomo defending himself amid allegations he fast tracked covid 19 testing for his family long after the scandal was first reported. here to weigh in doctor janette nesheiwat. the new york times reported governor cuomo's daughter and her boyfriend received priority access to covid 19 tests in april and this was after the governor was accused of doing the same thing a few months ago. the allegation as he kept doing it after he was under scrutiny a few months ago. what is your reaction? >> this can be perceived as misuse of resources and even unethical. if you recall last year at the height of the pandemic in new

york, the epicenter of the world, we had patients dying left and right and i remember only one or 2 swabs during an entire shift at work, the tests were so scarce, who are high risk or most vulnerable and when you use those resources for a younger population it could lead to outbreaks and delay someone in need. something we should take a look at because it could be perceived as misuse of resources, who desperately needed for others at the time. >> new allegations of what took place in april, a few weeks ago when tests are readily available why did that happen? >> in all fairness right now it is so easy to get a test you can get the results the same day and they are free it doesn't make

sense white was put as a rush. in my clinic i only write priority testing for those who need emergency surgery or a nurse or doctor who has to get back to the hospital so looking at the reasons, don't know the exact reasons why they rushed it but we reserve the priority testing for those in need or if we are trying to prevent or survey of the community and see to the potential outbreak that is the proper use of priority testing. >> they are very good. it with the better route to go. we've got good news, the world health organization says vaccines are effective against covid 19 variance but also overseas travel still isn't safe. listen to that soundbite. >> virus variance do respond to the available vaccines. in the face of a continuous

threat we need to continue to exercise caution, avoid international trouble. >> if people are vaccinated and that means the vaccine protects them against variants wire they told they can't travel overseas by the world health organization? >> that is a good question. safe to travel within the united states. what they are saying is take caution if you're going to travel overseas even though the vaccine has been shown to be safe and effective against those other variants. in india there is a double mutant lethal variant, they are saying take caution, be careful even if you are vaccinated, traveling to areas where there is still thousands of people dying every single day as we see in india, you want to take a look where you are going before you decide to go to that

specific region. european union came out and said vaccinated americans can travel to some european countries. as a doctor would you say that is okay for a vaccinated person this summer? >> absolutely especially in many parts of the country and many parts of the world we see the number of cases and hospitalizations, times that we reap the rewards of what we have sown, we've been vaccinated and the pandemic in most parts of the country and most parts of the world is winding down which is really good news and something we should be celebrating soon. >> thanks so much, appreciate it. todd: clark and the rest of the griswolds get ready to go to europe, they went out of their state voting to secede and become part of idaho. they want the freedom to choose who governs them and one man behind the movement joins us next.

>> tennessee.lawmakers demanding answers after reports the biden administration is fine migrant children into that state. >> some officials say the administration has lost control of the border crisis. >> reporter: good morning, in chattanooga four planes carrying migrant children, the children boarded buses that were staged on the runway and sent to various cities. >> putting them on a plane and flying them to states without any knowledge of the governors. i just talked to our governor tonight and the governors don't know it is local officials that don't know it. >> bill haggerty says his residents deserve answers saying, quote, president biden's

failure at the border was a result of systematically resettling migrants in our communities burdening our schools, hospitals and law enforcement agencies. in a statement the office of refugee government which falls under the permit of health and human services and contractors and transportation modes to unite unaccompanied children with their families including air and ground transportation options, ashley is introducing a bill that holds funding for kamala harris until she visits the border and spending time discussing digital banking options for the congressional hispanic caucus for the northern triangle to address the root cause of the immigration crisis. some officials say the administration lost all control of the southern border, telling tucker carlson the crisis is in his hometown.

>> i would describe it as the wild wild west. in our community we were averaging 13 to 15 cases a week. these -- there are guns in these cars. >> the united nations urging the biden administration to end title 42 public health research and which allow migrants to removed quickly due to covid 19. todd: thank you. carley: the biden administration closes two ice facilities, when george and the other in massachusetts over ongoing investigation into misconduct. homeland security secretary alejandra mayorkas referenced the allegations same treatment would not be tolerated. it comes as axial us reports that the of health and human services is preparing to double migrant capacity at fort bliss texas.

hhs saying the emergency site could house more migrant children as they work to unify them with their families. next hour we are talking to arizona attorney general mark byrne which who has been critical of the vice president's handling of the border crisis in the past and has even more to say about it this morning. meantime the recall effort for los angeles county district attorney george gascon is officially underway, after the county registrar, 590,000 signatures with 160 days to reverse the recall. and organizer for the recall ever writing a press release, quote, we have no choice but to seek immediate removal from office because of the social experiment that is jeopardizing the safety of our communities and victimizing victims and their families all over again. todd: 34 minutes after the hour, a movement started by oregon residents who want their

communities to be part of idaho is gaining traction. they voted to leave the state because they are fed up with liberal policies. joining me the president of move oregon's border for a greater idaho. that title says it all. what was the final straw? >> it is not the final straw. this is going on for 7 years but the people in rural oregon are starting to speak out. enough is enough. we are tired of being ruled by northwest oregon and their experiments up there, taxes up there, everything going on up there and we are just crying out to let us go, all-out us to be part of idaho. >> the counties in question,

there are 7 of them. here is what the new state of idaho would look like. a lot of people moving to idaho. they need more land, you folks from oregon are going to fill it out on your screen and that is on the right-hand screen the original state of idaho, the current state of idaho looks like. when you see what is happening in your city, portland, do you recognize your state anymore? >> i was raised outside portland and i'm a plane -- ashamed of what is going on. it is terrible. it is hard for us in rural oregon to understand why this is taking place. that is where the majority of the population in oregon is at and they are controlling the state. we are saying let us go, let us continue with our rural freedoms. >> quick look at the 2020 presidential election results in oregon, president biden winning

by a tremendous majority but look at the counties we are referencing here, donald trump did extremely well so obviously this is trump country. does this have any chance of becoming reality? >> it really does. it is gaining momentum. we have 7 counties that passed it, working on another four to five at the next election, it is marching on, getting a life of its own and we are tired of it. so we are speaking out but we are speaking out in a legal way. this is the way a representative government should work. when you have a problem, you should vote your choice and so we align ourselves closer with idaho, they are the same kind of folks that we are, the same values we have and we are saying please leave us, let us go, let

us be part of idaho. >> unclear where college football loyalties will lie, will they stay in the great state of oregon, that is for another segment. check back in with us and let us know how the movement is going. >> thanks. >> that football question is a good one. a massive explosion erupts in a california suburb, fire officials say it was caused by 3 kids playing with fire but high winds grew out of control. one home was destroyed and 3 people were displaced. the incident caused a temporary power outage for 8000 homes. no one was injured. authorities say the kids were released to their parents, no word on charges. good samaritans jump into help of florida deputy under attack. the sheriff's office says the man tried fighting the deputy
