pete: good morning, everybody, may 22nd, year our lord, will cain working hard all week long. glad he made it. will: good evening. pete: good evening, good

morning. and emily compagno. emily: you were so great all week. i have been following both of you doing the 7 p.m., it's an honor and pleasure to be here with you guys. i'm excited it's going to be great weekend. will: great to have you here. pete: great color. so bright. will: i didn't need coffee. pete: if you weren't awake glad you are. will: we start you off with this israeli hamas cease-fire still in place. officers firing tear gas as protesters pelted them with water bottles and rocks. greg palkot is live in tel aviv with where things stand right now. greg. >> hey, folks, that's right. it is day two of the cease-fire between israel and hamas. so far so good. no sign of any more rockets or airstrikes but on the ground in gaza, about 40 miles from where we are, our team on the ground there says that, in fact, there is a lot of trouble, local

residents continue to pick through the rubble from israeli airstrikes. more bodies are being found. the death toll now reaching about 250. there are some new reports that the arrival of humanitarian aid to these people, they need everything food, water, medicine, fuel, shelter, you name it now, our team over in jerusalem says they are not seeing any signs today of any more clashes between the palestinians and police there there were services around the holy site. a secretary blinken said to be here wednesday to meet with officials. here is what president biden had to say last night. >> do you recognize that there has been a shift, an evolution in your party, mr. president, in the last 20 years on this issue? >> there is no shift in my commitment, commitment to the security of israel, period. my party still supports israel.

>> now biden did offer support to all sides in this conflict except, notably, hamas, hamas still considered by washington and other entities as a terror group. egyptian diplomats, too are on the ground. they are integral to this deal. they will be dealing with hamas, faiz and israel trying to monitor the cease-fire and keep it together. a lot of people are hoping. back to you. will: greg palkot in tel aviv. we have cease-fire in the middle east but seem to have rising violence in the united states when it comes to anti-semitism. pete: the democrats want to support. we are not anti-semitic but we don't support the state of israel or the far left or hamas calculation of the democratic party today.

your comrade cortez and ilhan omar and tlaib and cori bush. it equivalent to terrorism. joe biden another part he said at that podium yesterday i think you know my party still supports israel. when you are saying having to affirm time and time again this is our stance, it is -- it demonstrates in and of itself there is a split there has been a bipartisan cop census of the state of israel. when that starts to erode and let radical voices come to the top, emily, which is what happen. you start to see things like this on our own street which is unacceptable. >> rising probably inly and to your point about letting it fester. those members of the democrat party have gone unchecked with their comment for so long. we have had represented omar and tlaib and ocasio-cortez saying things it's all about the benjamins. reposting cartoons from it iranian holocaust deniers. tlaib said it was comforting or calming to talk about the

holocaust. it went uncensored and unchecked and mixed with social media and the incitement the use of tiktok which is frankly a trifecta then it's absolutely spreading. we have had around 200 anti-semitic attacks in the last 10 days alone. will: 50% increase from where we were the previous week. i would add to that soup, emily that you laid out there that is making this a poisonous cocktail that we live in an environment where our superficial differences are -- tribalism, partisanship forcing the united states to look through the prism of race or whatever may be has all added to this idea that we run to our most base instinct. our most base tribes. when that happens you see things like what pete referenced you are seeing on your screen this morning. joseph b organ was one of the victims in those attacks and he told the "new york post" the following. he said i tried to get away. i think this is -- here it is.

i tried to get away and the next thing i knew i was surrounded by a whole crowd of people to proceeded to kick me, punch me, beat me down. my face was on fire. i have been in new york my entire life i would never thought in a million years where i would have to second guess wearing a yamaka in public. that's what he told "the new york post." pete: amazing. some of the footage is the actual attack that happened to him in this scismt. will: this was on 47th street in midtown, manhattan. these are impanel ma'ams you would think would be emanating from tel aviv. these are fireworks going off. pretty powerful fireworks when you see video of that elm brazen attacks. >> against the landscape of not only defunding the police here. this emboldening things like

this. when i brought up social media i did that to point out it is accelerant of conflict. it insights conflict. so easy to film and share. we know widespread throughout europe, actually there has been additional commentary that accompanies these videos encouraging others to film attacks. that level of wildfire is absolutely incendiary. you are seeing now here on our streets and city that has under funded the police budget that has provide nod unequivocal support for our ally israel against the landscape of the democrat party fisher okay to question our allyship with israel and a strong stance condemning this. pete: this sort of ultimately what's a red-green alliance. leftist, socialist islamist. come against the judeo west. larger perk of it when you come here it will take democratic leadership. the willingness to take chuck schumer. the senator of new york. he put out 'tweet about stopping

asian hate. he hasn't come out in a full-throated way about the anti-semitic attack. he has likened himself his whole career as staunch supporter of israel. why would he not be outfront right now. maybe he is worried about comrade cortez in a primary in 2022. maybe he knows where the base of his party is. the light of the new political realities of the modern democratic party does not support the state of israel and equivocates. will: yeah, as you see these partisan conflict spill over on to our shores and you think about the continuing revelation revelations of the wuhan virus most likely came out of a lab in china. russian cyberattacks on our pipeline you wonder how exactly safe is the united states right now? representative michael waltz on the house armed services committee said not very safe. watch. >> our adversaries right now smell weakness in the white house. our adversaries when they smell

weakness they push and they are emboldened. under president trump they were by strength. hamas launching rockets on israel. the iranians on the march across the middle east. the russians getting their pipeline completed for free and nothing in return. this country, you know, the number one job is the federal government is to keep us safe and that's the last thing joe biden is doing right now. pete: not happening. so from foreign policy to domestic policy and covid-19 has dominated the discussion for so long and the big question has been how do we get back to normal and when can our kids do so as a result? so many kids locked out of their classrooms for so long for all the wrong reasons, none of which have to do with science. we got an update from the organization that writes much of the cdc guidance which is the american federation of teachers, randy weingarten went on msnbc yesterday, talked about the mask-wearing of children in the fall for school. here's what our chief science

director said. >> we want schools open and we want them to stay open. so we understood, you know, and we are really pleased that the cdc sees the effectiveness of the vaccines as so great that those of us who are vaccinated get to individually choose whether to wear a mask or not. in elementary schools, until we have the vaccines, it seems like, unfortunately, we're going to have to keep still wearing our mask and be physically distant so we don't have outbreaks. emily: that's interesting to use that language we are really pleased about that almost exactly marrying the emails between the white house and the cdc and the union heads that led to them actually drafting and then being accepted by the cdc guidance. for some reason the about face is eaten up by the mainstream media gas lighting the public. it seems to me that the only people that are really interested in actually the best interest of the child remain the parents and those teachers who

refuse to be, frankly, tethered to the union that is making all of these decisions not based on science. will: we will call it what it is this is child abuse at some point. punishing the most vulnerable among us. interestingly not the most vulnerable when it comes to the coronavirus. the whole point is if you follow the science, children have such a minimal risk not only of being vulnerable to the coronavirus but transmitting it to anyone else. instead we are focusing on masks and vaccinations for those that don't need it. why? to keep moving the bar on this political fight. dr. scott atlas lays it out if you need to know one more time the science behind children, mask, and the coronavirus. >> the child that is unvaccinated is safer than a vaccinated adult. this has been known for a year so this kind of monopoly sense that kind of statement makes no sense. the only difference between a school and the outside community is the school is much safer.

when we see vaccination and the cdc has said this. if the teacher, if an adult is vaccinated, it doesn't matter if anyone else is vaccinated. if you are vaccinated, you are protected. so i don't understand the concern here. pete: the line right there. if you are vaccinated you are protected. from randy weingarten to nancy pelosi on the house floor. what's your issue if you're good? then let everyone else make their choice, especially kids, will, as you said as far as the science, it's been settled for a long time. every goal post by teachers unions has been moved. every single one. and now it's going to kids mask-wearing and kids vaccines. emily: on those websites they go to the highlighted studies that apparently the science just emerged in the last three weeks. when you click on it actually takes you back from that science from over a year ago which says exactly that. will: just unacceptable. turning now to a few additional headlines for you. starting with this fox news

encampments and tents that you would have to walk through to make your way down to the water. that's stunning and as you pointed out, pete, seattle, austin, los angeles, san francisco. this is a growing problem. i think the interesting question. the one that really deserves a deep dive is why? why is this growing? here's what a council member in los angeles had to say, income inequality skyrocketing, housing costs, systemic racism and a failed healthcare system are creating a homelessness crisis that big cities like l.a. must deal with. it has created a situation on our streets unacceptable, unsafe, unsanitary and inhumane. i'm determined to move people into housing and provide appropriate services. that all may be. my suspicion there is something more there. and it's not just tolerance it's an invitation to this problem. emily: absolutely. what about the pull factors that nothing will happen to you if you sleep on the street and engage in petty crimes and have everything else -- sleep on little league streets and whatnot. no one will do anything.

pete: hear the word compassion something people want to have. the line between compassion and enabling to your point is the line that's been far crossed. one of the gentlemen said it in the piece, they made it comfortable across the board to include drug use, which is rampant on these streets and communities and leadership is totally ill equipped to deal with it we also reached out to l.a. mayor eric garcetti and governor gasm, and they have not called us back yet unless it's foxnews.com inbox. we will check it. turning to headlines including this, the first week of the murder trial for the illegal immigrant accused killing mollie tibbetts comes to a close. allege mexican national christian rivera stabbed the iowa college student death while she was out for a jog. jurors were shown graphic images of tibet's body along with clothing found nearby. d.n.a. expert took the stand saying blood was found in the trunk of rivera's car.

beginning. we know this because "the washington post," for example, in just thursday's article said exactly that. and we have the sheriffs on the border had met with secretary mayorkas and this is about a month ago and he told them then that he was going to be get rid of the g 287 programs. pete: you mentioned dhs secretary mayorkas this is what he said specifically on bristol county that jacket being terminated we will not tolerate the mistreatment of individuals in detention. we have an obligation to make lasting improvements to our civil immigration detention system this marks an important first step to realizing that goal. so, sheriff, is he saying it's the particulars of this facility and there was mistreatment. what do you say to that? >> there is no other way for me to say this. he is a liar. first of all, my department has been running an ice facility which i built with state money for 15 -- almost 15 years now. and we are considered the model

our audit, all my federal audits over 15 years the fact that we are the national model, what he is saying is all those auditors, those federal auditors are liars. that's what he is saying. and that's not true. and the people of my county and across this nation know it. they can see what's going on. i'm telling you, people need to fasten their seat belts, this is what is coming. you watch and see, they already said they are going to close these other 200 facilities in one way or another. that's why the sheriffs of this nation are coming together and asking the american people join with us. we are not going to turn our backs on you or our oath. go to protect america now and join with us because we are not going to stand down. we are going to uphold our oath. even if they don't want to uphold theirs. pete: amazing. sheriff thomas hodgeson, thank you for updating us. keep us posted as well. >> thanks so much pete, will and emily. will: help wanted ahead of memorial day weekend businesses are facing staffing short tants as they try to come back from covid.

emily: ahead of memorial day many businesses are anticipating holiday weekend crowds but still can't find workers. one new jersey restaurant owner even sent out recruitment letters explaining his latest obstacle. quote, of the 100 job openings we have hired 7 people to date. i have two words to describe my current predicament: help wanted. welcome to you and tell us what's going on there. >> well, thank you for having me. you know, we got through covid and i wrote this letter we have

about a 40,000 person email list from our 11 years in business. and we started writing letters early on in covid and kind of people gravitated to those and it helped them through these difficult times. this last letter that i wrote help wanted really kind of says it all. we made it, we are starting to see the restrictions listed in the restaurant business. people are getting vaccinated throughout the united states. however, there is many side effects of cody that people don't really say or some people don't say and small businesses like myself and those throughout america have to deal with everyday. so, for instance, we own five restaurants in new york and new jersey and currently i hire 100 people every aspect from chefs to cooks to pizza makers to bartenders, to servers, right down the line. and we have run ads on indeed

and facebook, culinary -- anywhere you could run an ad to hire people. and out of the hundred people that we need, we have hired seven new people. i mean, this is tragic. in my 30 years in business i have never ever seen anything like this. emily: you have written 40 to 50 letter. 40,000 recipients each time. you have also spent thousand on these recruiting methods and this while you have had a decrease in revenue. tell us how worried are you for your future there? >> well, i mean, funerally, you know, we have a staff, a lot of our staff has been with us for a long time. but, as the economy reopens, everybody needs people. so, i know from for myself, the last few i have been busing tables, helping behind the bar. my brother helps with me. he has been on the line. he has been, you know, in the salad station doing is a lads. my cousin, everybody that works with me has gone the extra length. you know, without these people,

i would be in big trouble, right? so everybody is working overtime and they need a break, you know. there is only so much you can do. and it's pretty apparent that small businesses need help and what the federal government is doing, giving basically paying people to stay home. you know, it's very difficult and, you know, it's summertime. if i had the choice to stay home and make $960 a week and go to the beach with my friends or go to work, make the same or maybe a little bit more. i'm staying home. they are paying people too much to stay home. emily: vic, we see you how old you are working and your family. all hands on deck there know we are rooting for you we will be visiting your restaurant. i will be enjoying it over the memorial day weekend. we wish you are the best. thank you for coming on today. >> thank you so much. emily: coming up from her controversial race based interview policy to crimes

these days as you walk around. will: glad you are here. emily: smell of coffee, that's what you want to smell in the morning coffee. will: i'm sure by now you have have had as emily put it a little bit earlier a no good very bad terrible i can't remember all of the words in the famous children book. but a terrible week for mayor lori lightfoot. why? because she has put into place blatant racist policies where she granted interviews to only journalists of color. black or brown journalists, no

white journalists can interview mayor lori lightfoot at least for the time being. former presidential candidate will tulsi gabbard said: racism including antiwhite racism and bravo to tulsi gabbard for calling it exactly what it is racist. emily: yeah, that's exactly right. keep in mind just last week there was a restraining order that was issued against the federal government for essentially doing the same thing with our taxpayer dollars with the american relief fund true the small business administration. she is in a position of public office and now she is doing this because we have constantly talked about her. consistently talked about the gas lighting happening. the narrative being pushed by the progressive left that somehow makes its way into accessibility in our communities, accessibility by left wing mainstream media that

allows it to happen and pushing for things like this. pete: i like what said last night racism in one event or one time is no better because it's happening in one instance. and i think that's the differentiation, they are attempting to make. but it's not just the color of your skin determining whether or not you get to cover the mayor on any particular moment, it's the reality of what people are facing in chicago, violent crime. here are the stats that you cannot ignore. shooting are up 36%. homicides up 19%. at least 10244 people shot. at a minute 244 mom sides, all up and this comes in the environment of defund the police. more than dabbling with there. demoralizing a force that already had a crime issue which has only accelerated. we are focusing on the press corps of who covers who. and it seems small and silly compared to the plight of people

in chicago. will: can you so he to your point, pete, when it comes to the issues that are actually affecting every day chicago ans, here are some of the protests that occurred outside of lori lightfoot's home on thursday evening. last night you mentioned we did talk about this story on "fox news primetime." we had horace cooper who is a project 21. is he a co-chair. this is what he had to say about light foot's racist policies. >> there appears to be political power to be gained by promoting racial separatism. we say today's historians there was never any justification for this behavior. i believe that's true. but the political advantage is real as well. and people like lori lightfoot, people like joe biden, they see there is a political advantage dividing americans along racial lines. pete: ultimately i see no way any of this stands up to the 1964 civil rights act which

simply says -- which worked in one direction and now is coming back to protect people in another. >> and that was the argument in that case that i just described. emily: all about the equal protection clause. in its heart this is not legal and taking steps backwards for what people frankly fought and died for and institute. he talked about the political a advantages. i don't see how it's advantageous to have crime skyrocket in your town while divide us. will: to the point of horace cooper he says political division has played towards the democrats' left political power for years. it's been a tool that helps maintain power. there is a belief that is to their political advantage to continue to emphasize race. i think it's important to understand because this blows our mind, how can you as a party or an ideology reembrace the idea of segregation. it is a belief, pete, and i did talk about it last night that essentially white people are the only people capable of committing racism. racism is a necessary partner to

power. and if you are a minority and not in power. then you really can't be a racist. it's absurd notion but popular notion on the left. racism as we know is an individual sin that any single human being can be guilty of. regardless of what color you are. if we have to hammer it home. that has to be understood. that's the only way in my mind to solve racism is to is look internally and individually. will: tool of modern day marxist class warfare is not the way to divide us in america. they believe race is the tool through which by dividing they can conquer and control. and that's been a tool, in increasingly powerful one dangerous one inside the modern left. we will have congresswoman maria salazar republican in florida former tv journalist to talk about some of this later on as well. well, let's move to the border as well where there is new video, the crisis continues there, whether or not they want to talk about it. and there is new video, are new drone footage that i believe that we have of a hundred

migrants from el salvador, guatemala, honduras arriving in america. some of the images interest as we learn the biden administration has released -- released, get this stat, released more than 61,000 migrants in the u.s. many without court dates since february. not only is it a catch and release policy, it is a catch and release with no accountability whatsoever. no period of time when they are supposed to appear back for court. we have no idea where they're. emily: this is against the back drop of there being over 1.1 million pending legal immigration cases in a system that has less than 500 immigration judges. will: you know i did live in new york city for something like 5 years. i remember this as a kid visiting the city. do you remember the shell game go follow the ball, follow the ball. moved the ball under the shells moved so fast with his hands your eyes can't keep up. those numbers you just showed,

pete, the 51,000 migrants that have been released into custody. that accompanies stories we heard about oh, the good news is there is fewer children in migrant detention facilities. we have reduced the children in migrant detention facilities. follow the ball underneath the shell at the same time some 61,000 people have been released into the united states. you have moved them out of detention facilities. where are they now? where is the ball? which shell is it under? pete: we had another mini clue in the interview we did earlier with thomas hodgson from bristol county, massachusetts they are closing my ice detention facility for illegals based on the pretense we are mistreating people which he claims is not true. the next question we wanted to ask and hopefully we get a chance to ask brandon judd about it next hour. where are these illegals who are detained going? no one really has an answer to that. there is not an answer. when you add it all up, it's a dismantling of our immigration system, which is based now on illegality. how quickly can you get here and where can we stash you as

opposed to the staggering number you read off, emily, a million people trying to go through the legal immigration process, which is how it is supposed to work. emily: let's talk about the unaccompanied minors for a moment. when we talk about where are they all going? we know almost 23,000 have already been absorbed by all 50 states and puerto rico. to your point, as they were transitioning through that in the shell game, they were in these emergency facilities that don't require the same licensure. they are more expensive than the regular facilities. so to the tune of $775 per child that the taxpayers are paying. and then there is no background checks. and we don't know as well the requirements that are applied for those adults to whom they are going. so we are losing thousands of children and adults that are now being absorbed into our system and of course the burden applies to the taxpayer. will: right this as the numbers of migrant encounters on the border continues to go up month after month after month. can i see in april was up to

178,600 encounters total for 2021. north of half a million border encounters. pete: those are just the encounter as you know, will, from being down. those are the ones we can count. get aways another situation. how much attention paid to unaccompanied minors. have you got to believe, over time, it these cartels know exactly what they can do in one direction to sneak people n another. and that's the type of video that we often don't see. emily: don't forget, our president just the other day said just give me five days man when a protester shouted abolish ice and he said i want to. it shows you the position our administration is taking at least publicly in terms of supporting those officers at the border and, of course, in ice. now, we have, as well for you. the attorney general of arizona spoke about biden's border crisis and how heart breaking and despicable it is on hannity this week. watch. >> it is absolutely heart breaking and despicable what the biden administration is doing.

2 million, 2 million is the number estimated people that will cross just this year across our southern border. that's like the states of alaska, wyoming and vermont combined in one year. as a result of that, they are not picking up people that are being released from prison. so you have felons and arsonists and aggravated assault, sexual predators that ice is not picking up. they are not deporting. as you just said they are being released in our community. this ♪ an arizona problem. it's not a texas or a border problem. this will effect every person in the united states. you know, john f. kennedy put a man on the moon. biden is going to end up putting a felon in everyone's neighborhood. emily: that's a compelling statement. yeah, exactly. will: coming up a little bit later in the show brandon judd national border patrol council president he will address some of those issues. some of the questiouestions pets talking about were left unanswered. we will get them for you later in the show. pete: every once in a while you ask a question and realize one question you wanted to ask

you didn't get to because you ran out of time. we will ask that of brandon judd, what is the overarching plan if you are closing all these ice facilities? where are you going to put illegals? or is the idea to not hold them at all? thanks for joining us this morning. stick around. we have almost three more hours on this saturday edition of "fox & friends." first we turn to some additional headlines. a kindergarten sitting inside his mother's car is shot and killed on his way to school in california. police believe the shooting was an act of road rage. aden was only 6 years old. his sister is demanding justice. >> someone pulled out a gun and shot my little brother in the stomach. and he said, mommy, my tummy hurts. pete: devastating. police are still searching for a suspect. and president biden promising aid for palestinians whose whoms were destroyed in the conflict with israel. the president said he would make sure the funds did not go to

hamas. they all say that. and stressed the relief does not mean he has turned against israel. listen. >> there is no shift in my commitment, the commitment to the security of israel, period. my party still supports israel. pete: hamas controls gaza. when you provide aid, they usually turn it into tunnels or rockets. come stand with israel posters outside of their offices so that comrade alexandria ocasio-cortez would have to see them. the g.o.p. calling the squad the quote hamas caucus. comrade cortez condemned recent anti-semitic attacks in new york writing in part the recent surge in attacks is horrifying. we stand with our jewish communities in condemning this violence. and country singer justin moore's song hero shines a light on teachers, first responders and veterans. ♪ every day angel

emily: graphic images showingthf iowa college student mollie tibbetts revealed to the jury as a illegal immigrant stands trial for her murder. ted williams was on the ground during the investigation in 201. he joins us with what we can expect next. good morning, ted, what are your thoughts? what's going to happen? >> good morning, emily. i was on the ground in brooklyn, iowa in july of 2018 when mollie tibbetts a young 20-year-old college student went for a jog around 7:30. what happened and it's very interesting, emily, is there were videotape cameras in that neighborhood that actually saw a

black chevy driven allegedly by christian rivera following mollie tibbetts as she jogged. this man has admitted that he got out of his car, that he started jogging with her. that mollie tibbetts told him that she would call the police, get away from her. the next thing he knows she is stabbed to death. he takes her. d.n.a. is found in the trunk of his car. he takes her to a cornfield where he dumps her. and in august of 2018 he actually led police officers to where her body was in that cornfield. emily: ted we have a confession and video and him leading them to her body. what do you see is the biggest challenge for the prosecution now. >> the confession. he confessed to blacking out. he didn't confess to actually killing her.

i think what has happened is that the defense in this case is going to try to focus on mollie tibbetts boyfriend dalton jacks. they also want to focus on the confession -- to say it was coerced confession and going to try to get that confession thrown out. emily: ted, thank you for your analysis. we will stick with you as the trial continues to unfold. thank you and good morning to you. all right. still ahead. corporations are put on notice with a new ad campaign targeting companies for putting politics over their customers. the woke politics pushback is next. ♪ how do you like me now ♪ how do you like me now ♪ how do you like me now ♪ not everybody wants the same thing. that's why i go with liberty mutual — they customize my car insurance so i only pay for what i need.

"wall street journal" just rated them the nation's worst airline. they lose the most bags. they kick the most people off of flights. we reached out to them and they confirmed to us that during the covid pandemic they continued to decrease leg room on many of their flights.

beginning. and i'm telling you, people need to fasten their seat belts, this is what is coming. you watch and see they already said they are going to close these other 200 facilities in one way or another. pete: that was sheriff thomas honorableson of bristol county, massachusetts earlier in the program. now we want to bring in national border patrol council president brandon judd to help fill in some holes for us this morning. brandon, thank you so much for being here. you heard what sheriff hodgson said the idea that his facility has been closed but they are coming for more ice facilities. if they do that and illuminate whatever you can on that, where could you put illegals? where do you put people set for deportation? >> you release them into the united states. that's the only option that you have. and that's why we are seeing such -- these surges. that's why we are seeing an unprecedented number of people crossing the border illegally right now. it's not just the shear numbers that we are seeing. it's from the countries that we are seeing. over 106 countries. we have taken people into

custody from over 106 countries this year alone. again, something that we have never seen before in my nearly 24-year career as a border patrol agent. emily: brandon, not only is the depth pred breadth of upping the game cartels preparing them for this. the border patrol nabbed 32 mexican nationals dressed in camo in arizona. talk about the structure and that level of organization that is now propelling these migrants forward over our border. >> so where these individuals were apprehended is actually the station that i'm assigned to. we umbrella right around the douglas station. so, that's where i put on a uniform and go and patrol the border. this is something -- this is how brazen the cartels are getting. right now we apprehend three or four people that are wearing camouflage. but the cartels have gotten so good at getting people away from us that they are now crossing

larger groups of 32 and they are getting these groups away by the thousands. right now in the tucson sector alone, we have had over 45,000 people that have been able to cross the border illegally and evade apprehension. we don't know who they are, where they are coming from, what their intentions are. but the cartels have gotten so good and it's all based upon president biden's policy. if we continue to release people under the catch and release program, they're going to come in numbers that we just haven't seen before, and that's going to allow the cartels to flood our resources, take us out of the field to create these gaps and cross their more valuable product which are aliens from special interest countries, drugs and all of the other dangerous things that come into this country. will: yeah, brandon, i got see that firsthand in your sector. i saw those camouflage outfits both discarded and on a group of 13 migrants arrested right there in your sector. now the numbers creeping up to groups of 32.

i want to go back to pete's question for just one moment. so, brandon, if we're watching migrants being released into the united states, talking about some of these facilities, those that have been outsourced sheriff's departments being shut down. we also see stories about children being flown around the country. migrants in general being flown around the country. where exactly are we talking about migrants being released. at love people at home aren't sitting in arizona or texas or the border. where exactly are these migrants being released? >> so, let's understand they are not being released in arizona, texas, california, the vast majority are going to be interior cities such as des moines, iowa, chicago, illinois. they're going to miami, florida. they are going to boston, massachusetts. they are going throughout the entire united states. that's where these people are being released to. where there is work. that's where the people are going to. so, you know, again, most people think that this is just a western states problem. it's not. these people are going throughout the entire united states. once they are there, they are

never going away. when they cross the border illegally and we apprehend them and rerelease them with no release date we are giving them legal documents to be in the united states until court hearing. we reward people for crossing our orders illegally. they are violating the law and we are rewarding them. makes no sense. pete: feels like the plan is to intentionally allow them to stay here. do you feel like that's what the biden administration is doing? >> we do. and that's why we are seeing so many agents right now that are just -- the morale is lower than i have ever seen it before. and, again, when i put on the uniform and i go out and talk with the agents, when i patrol the border myself. it's very difficult to do the job right now because we know that we just don't have the support of the biden administration. pete: absolutely. it means everything. brandon judd, thank you so much for helping us out this morning. >> thank you. pete: turning now to a few

additional headlines as well. 10 years since anthony casey was acquitted in the murder of her 2-year-old death of cailee. jurors deciding not enough evidence to prove her guilt yard. now a juror is speaking out telling "people" magazine in part my decision haunts me to this day. if i were to do it over again i would push harder to convict her of one of the lesser charges at least. and imagine seeing this right before takeoff. a southwest passenger showing part of the plane's wing clipped off. she captioned it, quote: well, i guess it's time for a cocktail. that's a good spirit. she also posted what a normal wing should look like. >> the airline said it was broken hitting another plane at neighboring gate in chicago. pass years were moved to a dinner plane before their flight. you feel like you would have caught that in routine check. now to will cane's favorite story. president biden dodges a question from our own peter doocy about ufos.

listen. >> president obama says that there is footage and records of objects in the sky, these unidentified aerial phenomenon we don't know what they are. what do you think it is? >> i would ask him again. thank you.

this should be an a story. emily: in part those of house are believers we have known forever now that this is coming out everyone is like i told you so. like it's not new that we have material, am i right, pete? will: those skeptical. pete: show me the money. scrap the a block. rewrite the show. emily: all right. adam klotz is live from the deck of the intrepid for national maritime day but, first, adam, are you a believer, too? most importantly an alien believer that is? adam: yeah i know what you are asking me the last few weeks all the stories have sold me. they are real and i can't wait for this report. i'm literally excited about it. [laughter] otherwise, talk about what we're doing out here. as i said we are on the intrepid in the hudson river. we have coast guard helicopters behind me because it is maritime day. we are honoring folks who work around the water and to do that i'm working on the water, also.

i will begin with your forecast and actually tracking a little bit of what could become a tropical system in first graphic. that is now sitting in the western gulf of mexico. beginning to see some rain along the texas coast. this could become a tropical storm. something we will be paying attention. to say a low chance but still watching it otherwise, what are the temperatures going to be across the country. already warming up in a really big way. we see that here as temperatures will be up to 92 degrees in new york city. 888 degrees in chicago. back here on the intrepid though i do want to say we are highlighting the merchant marine. those are the civilian marines who have been out helping and we like to thank donald trump, president trump, he signed legislation that allowed these people to be honored back in world war ii. so it's just an important day to thank all these people who kind of supported the military on the water over the course of the last 60 or 70 years in all of our wars. guys, back to you. will: thanks so much. pete: good facts, adam.

records show netflix ceo hastings has donated $3 million to defend gavin newsom against recall effort making him the largest donor by far is this considered netflix and shill? i like that. here to react is fox news contributor and media opinion columnest for the hill and our friend joe concha. joe, i didn't come up with that line it was in the teleprompter

and i think i stole it from you because you are a word smith and would have used it anyway. what does this mean $3 million from netflix to gavin newsom what is it telling us? >> what it tells us is these are unlimited donations, pete, as far as netflix is concerned. and what we have here is, in other words, if it's a campaign, you can only donate so much. if it's something along the lines of this, which is a ballot initiative, then these tech giants can donate as much as they would like here in this effort. but it's no surprise this is coming from reed hastings, he is from netflix. netflix is the same company that actually green lighted a series called cuties. and, i mean, you have got see this poster. it's incredible. they sexualize young girls as young as 11 years old. this is what netflix is, right? and it just tells us what the swamp is as well, right, pete? where you have the powerful giving money to keep other people in power and its ultimate

quid pro quo. we saw it during the biden administration by the way where you actually had administration officials then actually take money from the googles i'm sorry the campaign from google, from amazon, from facebook and so on. and many top executives from google, amazon, facebook and twitter go to work for the biden administration revolving door. you scratch my back, i'll scratch yours. pete: emily enlightened me gavin newsom collect as much money as he needs to ballot initiative. opponent for the first time limited to a confined set of donations certainly a system set up for the incumbent. how should people view things like netflix, which some people are holding out and saying well, they make movies, yeah. maybe left of center. sure susan rice, sure, barack obama, but they really have become hand in glove, one in the same. effectively willing to advertise subtly or not so subtly for

democratic politicians. >> and, pete, we see it across the board, right? not just netflix but we see hbo the john olivers of the world, right? talking about how israel basically is a terrorist state. and all the programming on hbo is just so far left. and then you watch late night comedy which was supposed to be escapism. i remember that i'm old enough remember watching letterman stupid pet tricks or carson when he was nearing his end. but now you see colbert meyers and kimmel every night arguing about how we have to blow up the filibuster. how we have to expand the supreme court and ted cruz is a horrible person. wait a minute, this is not comedy anymore. this is an extension of the democratic national committee. so, yeah, that's what entertainment has become. the good news is people are turning off more and more when you watch the oscars, for instance, 5 million people watched in 1998, less than 10 million last year. i know there weren't a lot of movies out but when you lose 47 million people, that's that's a problem, pete.

pete: that's why our own greg gutfeld is beating these so-called late night comedians in ratings. forget about netflix and check out fox nation because it creates content that actually reinforces the values that so many americans share but can't get from a netflix. joe concha, thank you so much for your time. >> that was outstanding plug you threw in there impressive. pete: it just felt natural. >> one thing about gutfeld he has one/100th of the staff than the colberts and meyers. the fact that he is beating these people with no support compared to those shows. pete: i look and see about 8 staffers who haven't slept for a month and they create great content. thank you. >> you got it. pete: oregon county is ready to succeed to escape liberal policies. a fifth generation oregon resident leading the charge to get out. ♪ ♪

in public. cease-fire israel and hamas. satellite guided bombs to israel. alexandria ocasio-cortez and rashida tlaib similar measure in the house. emily, will, pete? pete: thank you very much. let's bring in jason chaffetz, fox news contributor and host of jason in the house. jason chaffetz podcast. thank you very much for being -- you heard what lucas was talking about there, jason. the ripple effect of an unwillingness of politicians to full-throated way to condemn anti-semitism and cop flight the idea that you can support israel without supporting their ability to defend themselves. look at what we are getting on the streets. your reaction? >> you don't hear the democrats having an outcry about the violence on the streets that you see playing out in los angeles and new york and i'm sure in other places. they are almost dead silent on that. i'm glad to hear the president reaffirm the commitment to israel, but it sounds like

hollow words. what is fundamentally changed though from the white house is they are coddling up to iran. they are the disrupters. they are the ones that fund hezbollah. they the ones that fund hamas. they fund the state -- the terrorism that is going on in this country. so, you coddle up to iran. you give iran money. you want to have deals with iran. guess what? iran feels emboldened. they give money to hamas. hamas uses that money to bomb israel. so don't tell me that you haven't changed your policy when you coddle up to iran you did change your policy as it relates to israel. will: jason, back to what's going on in the streets of america, the democratic response for just one moment. the question i have for you is why? we see the democratic party jump up at any moment to describe the united states as systemically racist. we hear anti-asian hate crimes. when it comes to anti-semitic crimes. it's a bit of foot dragging

that's a very fair characterization. while it may not be silence it is quiet. just above the whisper on condemnation of this particular form of racism and hate. >> will, i think you are absolutely right. it's the silence that is deafening. it's the silence that is problematic. because they are very vocal on other things. but they are almost dead silent on this. and you see it happen. and playing out on the screen that you -- right next to me right there. and it shouldn't happen. there should be a full-throttle condemnation of this. they should be shamed. but they are allowed to operate in this setting, they cut back on the police. they have no undercover police there in new york city. and then the consequence is this: emily: jason, in addition to the emboldenment of iran and the deafening and silence coming out of the hill. i see also an emboldenment of certain congressman who have been able to fester and able to sort of stoke the flames with their own rhetoric. we have comments like it's all about the benjamins.

we have rasheda tlaib saying it's a calming effect to talk about the holocaust. reposting cartoons from holocaust deniers out of iran. they are questioning the support that this administration gives to israel, our friend and ally while also raising -- seeking to raise the money given to palestine. my question to you is as a former congressman, how has that happened? what do you see there from your insider information that has allowed these representatives, their statements to go unfettered, unchecked and without censor or condemnation on their side to thus embolden domestically these attacks even further? because frankly on the hate crime section, intimidation is prosecutable. it seems to me these guys are straight up intimidating those of jewish faith here and they're furthering anti-semitic statements. >> yeah, i think that's right. congressman waltz out of florida has sort of dubbed these people the hamas caucus. because they do, they express their support for these terrorist organizations. these are members of the united

states congress. i saw it first with keith ellison who was from, pete, from minnesota. who came in and was very vocal on these types of things. but now more have been emboldened in this direction. and it's not called out. so, again, there is this democratic party where the president says a few things but you just wonder because the radical far left is taking a position that is much more supportive of some of these terrorist types of organizations and they want -- remember, these people, iran, hamas, hezbollah, they want death and destruction to the united states of america. they do not believe -- and to israel. they don't even believe israel has the right to exist. pete: right, jason, anti-semitic is mainstream in the left whipping of the modern democratic party come from the college campuses straight to the halls of capitol hill. stay there in washington where the white house has said they want an compromise on

infrastructure. everybody wants infrastructure. the question is what the definition of infrastructure and the white house has a very broad one. they wanted a $2.3 trillion bill. now they say they have made a compromise to a $1.7 trillion bill, which is a mile apart from where the republicans on capitol hill are. here is what the g.o.p., the statement republicans made on the white house infrastructure counter offer, which was recently made, again, only 600 billion. the white house came back with a counter offer that is well above the range of what can pass congress with bipartisan support, based on today's meeting the groups seem further apart after two meetings with white house staff than they were after one meeting with president biden. so we are further from a compromise than ever before. do you think that the white house actually wants a compromise? and we are showing some of the figures there of where they slashed and where they slashed, jason, ironically, is from roads, bridges and major projects, which is what republicans are asking for. >> i was a freshman in the united states congress back in

2009 when obama-biden tried to push a $787 billion infrastructure program, less than 5% of that actually went to roads, bridges and highways. it's that same formula. but nancy pelosi and others make that number so exorbitant. they make it so ridiculously high that it feels like oh, look how reasonable we are to take it down to $1.7 trillion. are you kidding me? they act as if we don't already have more than $4 trillion budget that's going out the door already plus all the stimulus dollars that are going out the door. but they don't want infrastructure. they want to grow government. that's what they did whether they did -- have the stimulus in 2009. that's when we had solyndra. that's when we had all these problems. this is typical for the democrats. they just want to spend, spend, spend. will: jason, we talked a lot about critical race theory. so many aspects of our culture education system. your home state of utah the

legislature there is looking to hold a special session and pass a resolution banning critical race theory. i think it was last weekend here on "fox & friends" we had bob woodson on the show and he is opposed to critical race theory. his point to me was i'm not sure this is the right way to do it. i'm not sure it's right to ban it from a gubernatorial or legislature level at the statewide, rather parents and school districts should be the ones directly addressing this how do we directly address this state sponsored racism that's making its way into our schools? >> yeah, i think it's a great question. first and foremost, i don't believe there should be a federal department of education. there shouldn't even be that. i do think the legislature can pass a resolution. i think that's representation of the people of utah that resolution did pass suggesting that all people are created equal and they should be judged by their character, not the color of their skin. i think that's a very reasonable position to take. but, you are right, you know, in

utah, we have 29 counties but 40 different school districts and they are going to have these debates. but, the way it's been defined, and it moves. it bobs, it weaves, but the way this critical race theory is defined i think is toxic. i don't think it's right. i don't think it's accurate. but it will permeate around the country. that's for sure. will: jason chaffetz. good to talk to you, jason, thank you for enlightening us. >> thanks for having me. will: turn now to more headlines for you this morning. starting with this. law enforcement from all over arizona mourn the loss of an 18-year police veteran. jeremy briton was off duty when he was killed. he was hit by a car while assisting with a freeway closure in nogales. the crash sunday investigation. the officials say the driver wasn't impaired. since briton's death a wave of tributes have flooded social media. he is survived by wife and four kids. mission complete, national guard troops in d.c. will be heading

you know, throughout this country. and, you know,. [broken audio] this narrative where they are taking resources from police budgets and officers are feeling unappreciated leaving in droves whether they're leaving the profession all together or retiring early. some are moving to other areas where they feel that there is a better sense of people supporting public safety. now, one of the unfortunate results of all of this is that violent crime rates have gone up drastically throughout this country all major cities, homicides, robberies, rapes, all major crimes. these decisions are only hurting the very individuals that these elected stakeholders are trying to protect. and it's tragic because we are seeing the citizens, the communities that they love to go to areas where they think there

is better public safety. now, we understand.

will: new york city lincoln center honors an activist who praised usama bin laden after 9/11. in a 2003 interview civil rights activist yuri said she considers the terrorists among leaders she quote admired. this week the center hosted an event for what would be her 100th birthday. they explained the event was meant to highlight her life in civil rights act victim of amade snik hate crimes against asian americans. and students at a california high schooler calling out their district for conservative censorship. the turning point u.s.a. club at whitney high took the group photo which is on the left of your screen. it was altered by their school. that edit is on the right of your screen. the school confirms they blurred out tpusa stickers and saying it was in the spirit of inclusion. a lot of good word play there in

both of those stories. over to you, pete. pete: always word play. thank you, will. we showed you these troubling videos as a rise of anti-semitic hate has led to attacks on the jewish community here in earthquake in. now the antidefamation league shows the extent of this hate as an analysis of twitter shows over 17,000 tweets. how are they allowed to get away with this using some variation of the phrase "hitler was right" in the seven days surrounding the start of the recent conflict in israel. here to react is israel's ambassador to the u.s. and u.n. mr. ambassador, thank you so much for being here. >> thank you for having me. pete: you are actually my first on set guest too since covid. quite an honor and fitting. before we talk about the anti-semitic attacks happening here in the united states. talk to me about this sort of -- the outcome of this conflict, hamas trying to declare victory, israel saying of course it was

our victory. what's the status there. >> look, it's always the way of those terror organizations that are suppressing their own people to declare a victory because that's the way they continue to keep their, you know, regime alive. pete: yeah. >> but that's not the truth. we succeeded to hit and to hit them hard with significantly, you know, degraded their military and terrorist capabilities. we took out many of their militant commanders. we dismantled a huge part of their subterranean terror tunnels that they have built under the city of gaza. but, unfortunately, it's only a band-aid. it's not a cure. the cure for gaza will happen only after we -- after there will be a regime change and after the gaza strip will be demilitarized. because as long as they are allowed to produce missile and rockets and the international

community basically gives them a pass to continue with it, so, they will use it towards this vicious method and will attack our civilians time and again. and we will have no other choice but to defend our own citizens. pete: absolutely. you know, there is was no doubt of the trump administration for the overwhelming support of the state of israel. how have you purr received the e support of the biden administration people rockets reining down on cities further into israel than ever before. has the biden administration been as supportive as you would like? >> yes. i don't intend to give -- to the president. pete: i won't ask you. >> to the president of the united states. i was encouraged because i was on the president and the prime minister calls. each time they spoke on the phone like six times. and i heard a strong commitment that came from the president to the state of israel and our right to defend our citizens, even said yesterday -- two days

ago in his basement that he is committed to replenish the iron dome system, so, yeah, he supported us. we didn't agree on everything, i mean, the timing went to-end this operation exactly. pete: are you saying you would have liked more time to hit hamas? >> i'm not sure. because there is no specific formula when you need to end those military campaigns. you have to see that you already start -- succeeded, to restore your deterrence, and that is something that we will have to see and wait and see if that happened, but as i said, we succeeded to significantly degrade their capability. they didn't expect such a response from our side. and i hope it will bring us some calm and relative periods of time like we had after the it last operation that took place in 2014. >> prime minister netanyahu said if -- even a few rockets are

launched to break a cease-fire there will be appear overwhelming response. >> definitely. we will never accept a terror organization indiscriminately firing missiles and rockets. pete: who could. >> no other country. that's what i asked member states here at the u.n. when i spoke here. i looked in their eyes and say say what would you do if those were your citizens, your children running to the shelters. pete: real quick the anti-semitic attacks we are seeing in the united states? what do you make of that and what should be done here. >> i think it's appalling. i saw one of the attacks took place took place -- pete: a couple of blocks from here. >> near my embassy on the israeli consulate on second avenue. it's appalling. it's not israel or the jewish problem. it's a worldwide phenomena. it's an american phenomena. oldest form of racism and this is something i expect all public figures here to condemn and to condemn strongly.

and i also expect, you know, the governor, the mayor, the administration. pete: has there been strong enough condemnation? nothing from democrats? not to get partisan is it about. >> i expect everyone, all public figures to condemn it and demand the governors, the mayors, the administration to take all necessary steps to make those perpetrators to pay a heavy price for what they are doing now because it's appalling and it's appalling for the american society. pete: one thing i hope our viewers understand is the existential nature of your job of the people that live under siege in the state of israel fighting for very existence every single day surrounded by neighbors who have hated you although there has been more peace and by neighbors groups like hamas to fire missiles on your populations. mr. ambassador, thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> thank you for having me. pete: godspeed to everyone in israel and jews throughout the world. >> thank you for having me and we will continue to fight terrorists and terrorism.

will: well the recall effort against los angeles county d.a. george gascon is officially underway at the l.a. county registrar approved petition for circulation and signature gathering less than six months since gas connie took office. pete: our next guest cheryl smith and jessica jordan are the mother and sister respectively of california woman michelle dorsey who was murdered at the hands of her estranged husband last month. under gas connie's policies the family says the idea that her killer could serve a near two decades for her death is no less than an insult. emily: they join us now with los angeles district attorney john who has been leading the charge for gascon's recall from within his own office. so michelle and cheryl we would like to start with you. first of all, our heart breaks for what have you both gone through. i can't imagine the unimaginable loss to you. so our condolences. tell us what's going on right now and how are you feeling? >> it's just a mere unjustice of

not being able to add on the sentencing enhancement for this case. my sister was murdered. it was premeditated. he knew what he was doing. it's just unjustice that these things are not being added on. pete: cheryl, first of all, i'm sorry just as emily talked about, i mean, how tragic and speaking about it two weeks later. i can only imagine the grief. i lead with that completely. but, as you look at a justice system -- and there are pictures right there of your beautiful family. as you look at the justice system, what do we have if we don't have a justice system that we feel like will actually seek justice when necessary? >> we don't have a good justice system at all. it's not for the victim. it's more for the criminal right now. it's so unfair to have such a

horrific crime and to have somebody not do life for it and it's not fair to the boys because they are going to have to deal with this when he gets out. will: what a poignant timeline you put on it the children of your daughter and your sister, both of you cheryl and jessica here. her children having to see potentially this killer see the streets within their lifetime. and that brings me to you, john. let's just lay out the details of this case and how it would unfold under gascon's new policies. i think any kind of horrendous murder everyone would have an expectation of at a minimum a life sentence. that's not what would happen here. >> the d.a. should be fighting for justice for michelle. and he's not doing that. the d.a. should be fighting for justice for those three little boys. michelle's three little boys. and the d.a. is failing to do that. not only is he not fighting for

justice for those boys. those boys now have to worry that at some point the person who he did this to their mom is going to be released from custody. that is horrible. that is something that should not be happening. when you talk about a case a domestic violence case where a mom is murdered and she is murdered with her children being home and the d.a. is not seeking the ultimate charges and the ultimate punishment in that case, with a vulnerable victim, what type of d.a. do we have? he is a d.a. that cares more about murderers and cares more about their well-being than he does about three young boys who lost a mom than he does about the family of michelle who have to deal with this for the rest of their life. this is a d.a. who won't charge maximum charges and punishment for police killers, for child torturers and murders for people

who kill mothers, for people who kill fathers, he just won't do it. he only cares about criminals and he cares about releasing criminals. and i'm so sorry that a family of michelle for what's happening. emily: jon, quickly with the remaining time we have left. article is underway of the d.a. gascon, you as deputy d.a. do you have any power whatsoever in your prosecutorial discretion to pursue more strong sentences or the like or are you just getting overridden each time? can you share with viewers where it stand right now as the recall is underway? >> you know, for me and for all the deputy d.a.s we don't have that much power. we basically have to do what the d.a. tells us to do. and so it's become such a difficult situation because it just -- to tell a d.a. -- for my boss to tell me i can't follow the law, for my boss to tell me that i can't fight for justice for vulnerable victims, it's

such a difficult situation right now in my office. it's horrible. pete: jessica and cheryl, either or both of you real quick, what's your message to gascon if you could speak to him today? >> that he needs to add the sentencing enhancement to this case and that what he is doing in this city is just terrible. he is letting criminals get away with these crimes and the citizens are afraid and we need justice to be upheld and the law needs to be followed. emily: that's true. enhancement should be in the hands of a jury or a judge. not a d.a. that doesn't fight for victims such as yourself. we are so sorry for your loss. thank you to all three of you for joining us. jessica, cheryl, and john. will: thank you. >> thank you. pete: remember the memory of michelle dorsey and those boys as a result of this don't have their mother. thank you. turning now to a few additional headlines as well.

this though, the israel hamas cease-fire in gaza still in place. this despite tensions flaring between palestinian protesters firing tear gas as they were pelted with water bottles and rocks, greg palkot is live with where things stand now, greg? reporter: hey, folks we are well into saturday afternoon here, day two of the cease-fire between israel and hamas and so far so good. no rockets, no air strikes, but frankly, not so good right in the heart of gaza, by 40 miles from where we are, and where our team tells us that local residents continue to pick through the rubble left from israeli bombings, more bodies are being found as the death toll reaches around 250. there are reports of the arrival of some humanitarian aid, the people there need food, water, medicine, fuel, shelter, our team in jerusalem is not see

clashes between palestinians and police there and it's really a sign of simmering tensions here as this story not over by a long shot. secretary of state blinken is set to be in the region starting wednesday. he will be meeting with official s. here is how president biden responded a question at last night's press conference. take a listen. >> do you recognize that there's been a shift in evolution in your party, mr. president, in the last 20 years, on this issue? >> there is no shift in my commitment, the commitment to the security of israel, period. my party still supports israel. reporter: biden did offer support basically to all parties in this conference, in this situation, guys, except for hamas. hamas recognized by washington, and other countries, and entities, still as a terror group. also in the region, egyptian diplomats they played a big role in the cease-fire and they are

going to be the ones monitoring on the ground in israel, in gaza , whether this thing pulls together. we're hoping, back to you. pete: greg palkot thank you so much really appreciate it. will, you like to build lists but it's what happened on the ground and israel is saying we decimated hamas, hamas is trying to declare victory which is entirely foolish but totally meant for propaganda, my brother spent time in cairo, egypt and he said there's a monument to the six-day war which declares victory for egypt when they were actually completely crushed by israel so it's all a propaganda battle ultimately hopefully the state of israel got the result they wanted and then you had the conversation here at home amongst the biden administration whether or not they pressured israel to a quicker cease-fire than they wanted and the fight inside their own party over anti-semitism and some of their members, the hamas caucus and others condemning israel and not condemning hamas for the in discriminate rocket fire and then the third item is

the ramifications of those things in the u.s. , the rise in anti-semitism, which is very dangerous to see , extremely hateful and images like this are popping up on social media, on tiktok, and across the country, of jews being targeted by mobs of pro- palestinian rioters and criminals. the numbers are stark. 139 reports in the last week of anti-semitism, up 47% in just one week, guys, so when you see it manifesting in hatred toward jews on our streets we're at a very dangerous point where condemnation is needed. >> mem ill it: that's exactly right, the adl has a running blog, the center for extremism showing throughout the nation where the attacks and crimes are occurring it is mind boggling and tragic to see , that video we just saw a jewish man beaten during protest and he spoke out and the new york post, he said i tried to get away and next thing

i knew i was surrounded by a whole crowd of people who proceeded to kick me and punch me and beat me down. i've been in new york for my entire life and i'd never in a million years thought it would get to this point where i'd second guess wearing a yamak as in public, and that's here in new york city, will. will: the videos those tell the story of what's happening literally one block away from where we're sitting we're looking at images happening in the united states of america. not in tel aviv and it does beg the question why isn't there more of a full-throated condemnation. pete: look at that. people out to eat in new york city. will: that's exactly right. so where is the outrage? where is the condemnation that you hear so often when it comes to systemic racism, or anti- asian hate, for example. this week the biden administration passed an anti- asian hate crime law, so where is the full-throated, full -throated condemnation of what we're seeing take place in los angeles and new york? here is why i think there is a

difference, pete. it's not necessarily that the american left cares not about anti-semitism but rather that their focus is on the perpetrator of these crimes and not the victim. so when it comes to these anti-semetic crimes it doesn't fit the narrative of america being a systemically racist place. pete: sure. will: in other words not wrong victim, wrong perpetrator. if these were white men perpetrating this attack when it would fit their overall narrative and they would stand firmly on their soap box when the focus should be lesson the perpetrator and more on the victim if we're going to stamp out hate in this country why don't we try stamping out hate in whatever form it comes. pete: well said, and so true. we had the israeli ambassador to the u.s. and the u.n. on the program earlier and i asked him i wish i had one follow-up question because he said something off camera he be happy for me to share but this is what he said on the need for

condemnation of these anti-semetic attacks, listen. >> it's noticer's problem or the jewish problem. it's a worldwide phenomenon, it's an american phenomenon. it's the oldest form of racism and this is something i expect all public figures here to condemn and to condemn strongly and to demand the governor, the mayor, the administration to take all necessary steps to make those perpetrators, to pay a heavy price for what they are doing now, because it's appalling and it's appalling not for israel, it's for the americal society. pete: so true, so the state of israel working with the biden administration, he was complementary in a general sense and i asked about the democrats, he's not going to want to get into politics, he said pete i be happy to talk about comrad cortez and the specific comments made which are manifesting in anti-semitism. those policy makers who say what's happening in gaza is terrorism from israel. when you make those types of policy statements it's masked anti-semitism which gives

justification to crowds like that with a defunded police department in new york whose not as well positioned to deal with it, you get more mob rule. >> the messaging coming out of the white house biden says our stance on israel has not changed but certainly his decisions and his actions belie that. greg gave more credit to the egyptians than biden did. biden maintains his commitment to that two-state system and he has not condemned hamas or the palestinians for encouraging it, he continues to fund the palestinians and also iran, it took him a month to call netanyahu after he took office, it took trump three days. i mean it speaks volumes his actions more than his words. pete: you want a two-state solution with a terrain controlled by a terrorist organization? you want to endorse a terrorist state? it's just not possible. it's not grounded in reality. will: really quickly to just put a button on this , last night i spoke to dennis prager, he said if you have a problem with jews in israel, or jews in iran, jews on the streets of new york

city your issue is not over land and not about israel. you might have a problem with anti-semitism. meanwhile in the united states, as well, we have an issue with, in my estimation, child abuse. randy winegarten is the head of the american federation of teachers and she's suggesting children need to be masked and stay masked until they receive an injection in their arm. listen. >> we want schools open, and we want them to stay open, so we understood, you know, and we're really pleased that the cdc sees the effectiveness of the vaccine s as so great that those of us who are vaccinated get to individually choose whether to wear a mask or not. in elementary schools, until we have the vaccine, it seems like, unfortunately, we're going to have to still keep wearing our mask and be physically distant so that we don't have outbreaks. pete: amazing. last time i checked, will, if all these teachers or anyone

who wants access to a vaccine can get it, if you're a teacher going back into the classroom, you can choose to wear a mask or not. i can't imagine there's a single school in america which would tell you, you can't wear a mask so all the protocols all the demands that units have made this entire year have been met yet at every level the goal post s change and now they are looking at you and your kids and saying i got a call last night in my town. it's the vaccine drive. every kid in the town that come on out you get free tacos and you can vaccinate your teen so they can go back-to-school. that's where we're at. >> dr. marty makary said we need to stop living in fear. americans see the covid threat as binary acting as it's equally dire for everyone, and this distorted risk perception is blocking parents from watching their kids play sports, preventing families from being with their loved ones and depriving americans of the dignity of participating in milestone life events. he says we need to get over the fear, we need to get back to

living, and you guys covered here as well, there's been multiple high school athletes that have collapsed due to the deprivation of oxygen during the sports. we so far passed any type of common sense approach to this. pete: absolutely. >> months ago and yet it continues for some reason, will. will: pete you brought up tacos, i've seen the bribery of million dollar lotto tickets, donuts, tacos, now children getting ice cream to come in and get vaccinated. they've taken the role of the ice cream man to distribute vaccines. let's do this really quickly. one more time let's see if the science can breakthrough. children are not at a high risk of dying from covid, nor transmitting covid. that might be a bit of science you want to breakthrough and one more breaking news item. if you have the vaccine you don't need to be worried about children. pete: why are you worried? will: that's how science works. pete: it's amazing. you have the vaccine, yet your job, and, but listen why would you really, you can't really criticize if nancy pelosi, the speaker of the house, is effectively saying you can't enter the chamber without a mask

on, even though i'm vaccinated, and then there's a picture of me at the white house without a mask on face to face with other democrats. >> that's why it was such a joke when the aft president said we're so pleased with the american's belief in efficacy when everything demonstrated is not that because even though people in the administration like pelosi and the president were vaccinated, they still wore double masks and also officially were outside so there's actually no demonstration of efficacy whatsoever. pete: demonstration of efficacy. >> [laughter] will: fancy. >> 9:00 a.m. word. coffee is kicking in. pete: we're glad you're here stick with us for the rest of the hour. we have a few additional headlines to turn to. jurors are shown graphic images of mollie tibbetts body was the first week of her murder trial comes to a close, christina rivera an illegal immigrant is accused of stabbing the iowa college student to death. the dna testified that her blood was found on the trunk of the car. former homicide detective ted

williams joined us to weigh in on a possible defense strategy. >> they also want to focus on the confession that they gave that they are going to say it it is of course confessions and they are going to try to get that confession thrown out. pete: the trial will continue next week. >> and imagine seeing this , right before takeoff. a southwest passenger posted this photo showing part of the plane's wing clipped off. she captioned it, "well, i guess it's time for a cocktail." i like that view. she also posted what a normal wing should look like, the airline says it was broken, hitting another plane at a neighboring gate in chicago. passengers were moved to a different plane for their flight to alabama. should ask for a discount. >> forget business in the front and party in the back. kim jong-un bans mullets. >> ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

will: well another state is taking a stand against indoctrination in our classrooms , georgia, and their governor, brian kemp, has issued a letter to the board of education opposing critical race theory in the state's public schools, calling controversial curriculum anti-american. here now to react is the governor of georgia himself, brian kemp. governor, thank you so much for being with us. you sent a letter to your department of education. your board of education. is this something a that can be stamped out in georgia in schools for your students across that state and b, how is it that you do so? do you do it at the state level or through local school districts? >> well, thanks for having me on this morning. first of all, georgia is not a racist state in the united states of america is not a racist country and we don't need to be trying to rewrite history. georgians at the state and local

level know how best to educate our children, we don't need a one-size-fits-all national approach which is really where this is coming from, the system in georgia, we have a constitutionally-mandated state school superintendent. we have a state school board that helps oversee that operation that the governor appoints which is why i wrote the letter, but this will allow for that process, like we do with everything in georgia, to continue to move forward and i know the board is looking forward to weighing in on this issue, and obviously, i made my views well-known. will: governor i want to get you in on this before i lose you this morning, because you were at the focal point of this issue of corporations adopting radical woke politics, voicing their opposition to the voting bill in georgia. it seemed to be the apex of this issue where you heard from delta, coca cola and other companies. now there's a new campaign targeting several of those companies like coke and american airlines and nike. what do you think about this idea of corporations getting involved and i know that delta was involved in your political process through the

entire bill-drafting process , but what do you think about this idea of corporations getting so political and now, at least some level of backlash towards those corporations. >> well it's exactly what i warned against, and exactly what i told major league baseball when they made the decision to pull the all-star game. i said you're not getting yourself out of the controversy that's here that was manufactured by the left by the way because this bill makes it easy to vote and hard to cheat in georgia, but you're putting yourself right in the middle of it because now, everybody is mad at you. you could never do enough for these woke cancel culture groups that are out there, and by the way, they are the ones that are profiting from this while hard working georgians including a lot of minorities are getting hurt because major league baseball moved the game out and now you're seeing, you know, these a d campaigns targeting coca cola and other companies and that's it when you're in the

middle of these debates, it's something that the state should be deciding and our state maybe different from other states and that's the way the constitution is setup. will: exactly right. georgia governor brian kemp good to talk to you this morning, thank you. >> thanks. will: coming up from her controversial race-based interview policy to crime skyrocketing chicago mayor lori lightfoot had a terrible, horrible, no-good very bad week. florida congresswoman maria salazar is a former tv journalist and she sounds off on the mayor's media mandate after the break.

pete: as we walk the rides of the anti-semitism across the united states, the left is suspect push usually quiet in

condemning the violence as there is data released showing the extent of this anti-semetic hate and here to react is florida congresswoman maria salazar right here live and in the flesh. so great to have you. >> wonderful to be outside. to be in front of a body. pete: it's true. it's no miami but we'll take what we can get. >> almost a miami day, yes. pete: but there is the largest jewish population here in new york, but the second-largest is your district. talk to me about what you're sef anti-semitism. >> well, very bad and you know, the clear and perfect message that i want to send to everybody is that anti-semitism hate is completely not acceptable in south florida, and much less in district number 27 that composes , that has miami beach, which has the second-largest most important jewish community in country and i just want to share with you that a few days ago, there was a jewish family that was vacationing in south florida, and someone attacked them with extremely harsh

anti-semetic words, and that's completely and absolutely unacceptable in south florida. pete: are your colleagues in the democrat party specifically some of the more radical ones doing enough to silence this because they are speaking out of both sides of their mouth saying what israel is doing in gaza is terrorism but we should condemn anti-semitism as well. >> absolutely not that's why we're seeing 500% increase in anti-semetic crimes and anti-semetic words and events and attacks, and we don't like that. pete: absolutely. well i want to get to another topic, because people may not know, in a previous career you were an award-winning journalist. >> i used to do this. pete: for people who do know, she's a pro but ultimately lori lightfoot, the mayor of chicago said because of the two year anniversary of her inauguration and she looks in the newsroom and press pool and doesn't see enough black or brown faces , too many white reporters she's only going to grant one on one interviews to black and

brown reporters. your reaction? >> that is discrimination. do you know why? because she then, what the message she's sending is that she would give me, i'm a brown girl from the hood and i was 35 years in front of the camera working for uni vision, and do you know what she's saying? that i'm not good enough. that she's as a journalist that i can not prepare good questions , that i did not do my homework that she's only giving me that interview because i'm brown. that's an insult. i wanted to be in that press conference and i want to be called upon and asked those questions because i was good, i was a good journalist, regardless of my race. pete: because you probably saw plenty of good and bad white journalists over your years as well. >> absolutely, i covered el salvador and many of the white journalists, people from the very big news organizations, would not dare to go where i would go, because, you know, i knew the folks and i spoke the language and do you know what happened? abc and cbs would come to us to ask for the footage because we had this great, great pictures,

so there was no discrimination. when you're good at your job, and you really know what you're doing, you get the interview, so i'm so sorry for the mayor, but she's sending the wrong, wrong message. pete: very well-said. i got to get your take on this as well because there was a vote yesterday on the forming of a january 6 commission. most republicans voted against it. you were one of 35 that voted for it. the concern most republicans had was this is a rigged look, a one -sided look ultimately. why did you vote for it? >> well you know, we've got to look at it from the other side. it's the first time that we're going to be able to really investigate with five dems and five republicans under oath, notable from both parties, that they were going to be able to ask questions to the sergeant of arms, to the chief of the capital police and ask them, under oath, not on television, what they knew, why did they not

accept or accepted security reinforcements. more police, more people to come , because they knew that they were supposedly they were reports that some type of something that going to happen at the capital that day so this has nothing to do with the former president. this has to do with what did the democratic leadership knew at the time that was coming, and if they did or they did not accept those security requirements or reinforcements that were needed at the time in order to sustain any type of attack on the capitol. pete: you're right there haven't been many answers. real quick -- >> under oath with five republicans sitting at the table pete: ultimately the chair be a democrat and a lot be directed by that. >> then republicans will not accept any type of witch-hunt against the former president or any other member of the republican party, and otherwise, then, the democrats and leadership, the speaker of the house, nancy pelosi, then she will be able to manipulate

or move the information anyway the democrats want it. pete: we could not have scripted a better guest for all three of our topics this morning thank you so much, a total pro, come on! >> i paid my rent doing this. pete: [laughter] >> now i'm serving the people of district number 27 specifically my jewish community pete: now we're paying your rent appreciate it so much, representative. >> thank you. pete: all right, still ahead, it was a prime vacation spot, but now, residents of venice beach say its become a hotspot for the homeless. lawrence jones got a firsthand look at the devastating reality of california and he joins us live, next.

this , and use our music as a platform to raise awareness or money or whatever it is that said organization needs it's always my pleasure, and the least that we can do, certainly. will: richard was just laying out the creative process this program helped. in in fact what was the process here for putting this song together? >> you know, i wrote this song a few years back, and we've used it, you know, in certain situation, such as this , and, you know, i don't know where these type of songs come from, but i've been fortunate to have a few of them kind of fall from the sky for me and my career, that i could use to help me, you know, do exactly what i just said which is show respect and honor these men and women. >> and richard tell us about the feedback and the impact that this program has on veterans and

the causes about what you're raising awareness for? >> yeah the veterans who went through these programs who have been able to tell these stories, i mean the impact is huge, but when we're able to give them these songs for the very first time so they can share it with their family and friends is life changing even for their family to finally understand what that veteran went through, and when we started just releasing these songs as early as last year and we have about 18 that are available now and we keep releasing them and thank you all so much for keep on uplifting these songs but we'll release these every single month so that everyone feels like they have their song, but now that these songs are out, we're getting e-mails and we're getting letters from spouses and from siblings and people saying i never understood my veteran or my marine or my spouse or daughter or husband. it's just been so amazing to see that not, you don't have to be in the program to be healed by this music. it's absolutely amazing. pete: richard it was a pleasure to spend time with you a couple weeks ago in ohio as we filmed
