the west coast and, of course, joe biden last night in talking about it talked about this is proof just as i have approached congress, we need to pass more gun legislation. brian: predictable as usual. bring up the guns being the problem, not the person. we're never going to get guns out of america. i believe that's an unbalanced. ainsley: the ex-wife's comments were unbelievable saying she hasn't been in contact with him for 13 years. she was afraid of him. he had a really bad temper. he said he wanted to do this. steve: i listened as i came in this morning on the radio and one of his neighbors said he lived next door for 20 years, never talked to him. did not have any friends. he was a loner. ainsley: really? brian: very typical, sadly. three minutes after the top of the hour. did you see what was going on yesterday? all of a sudden the "wall street journal" from "the washington post from other media outlets that also have television networks suddenly getting curious about where this whole thing started, it's being called a pandemic that destroyed some lives, so many countries and killed about 600,000 americans.

and now suddenly the biden administration realizing i can't continue to say that "the washington post" has got to investigate. worldwide investigators have got to look into this. they are now under a deadline our intelligence services to find out how it started. do you think so so? here is a little bit of the deal that went on with careen jean pierre making history at african-american press secretary filling in for jen psaki yesterday and peter doocy. listen about the origins of the virus. >> if it turns out that covid-19 originated from some sort of a lab accident in china, which the president now says one element of the intel community thinks is possible would the president seek to punish china. >> we're not going to go there just yet. we have to go through the 90 day review. pete: anything that kills 591,116 americans is that something either another nation was responsible or knew more than they were letting on like

you said they weren't letting the inspectors in and that hurt reels forever what would he do. >> he asked his team back in march to do, this to look into, this look into the origins. this is not the first time we have heard his voice, his concern about the origins of covid-19. steve: so what happened? ainsley: he needs 90 days to do this report. there are two different scenarios. either it was a lab accident or human contact. brian: slow down a second i'm going to write that down. ainsley: we already knew that now they are admitting it could be a lab accident. that's why facebook is now allowing people to post about it. brian: not banning it. ainsley: not banning it because fauci. steve: they had banned it until the administration said you know what? we are going to look into that lab thing. what exactly did joe biden see? because apparentry when he came into office, he ordered an investigation, got the results a couple of days ago.

and said, okay, here's what's going on. of my intel agencies, two think it was animal related and one agency thinks it is the lab. it was the lab leak. we don't know which of the agencies thinks it was a lab leak, but the administration is doing a 180. peter doocy was in the briefing room on monday and tuesday and asked about the lab leak and it was completely dismissed, you know, jen psaki said you have got to wait for the w.h.o. peter, you don't understand how things work. and then yesterday she was not in attendance and they had the press deputy secretary there. and she had to say, look, we're going to do this 90 day investigation and try to figure out if we know. here's the problem. china made it clear on tuesday that they have no intention of helping the united states or the w.h.o. in the next steps of the investigation. so, you know, if the administration is waiting for some intel inside of china, they're not going to help.

ainsley: the senate than newly massed this bill called 1876. the covid-19 origin act of 2021. it says we have to have access to all this information about the origins of this virus that killed more than 500,000 here in america alone. we want this information declassified. it was passed unanimously. and then the other thing that i was reading this morning lindsey graham is going to propose sanctions he says on china if they're not transparent. and don't give us access to this lab and the information that we want. brian: it's just that as you find out the more we find out about this, this is just about so many -- in so many ways that john cena apology in manned doctrine to the chinese makes no sense american star with american movie worried about the chinese market. the nba with an american league, number one in the world worried about the chinese market. apologizing is really emblematic of the exact reason why something much more serious like the pandemic has us afraid to

point the finger exactly where it belonged. the european union the same way. australia speaks out. australia gets spanked. we are not buying your wine or your products. and the h and m says i have got a problem with these concentration camps. we're going to stop selling your products. we're going to take everything down. this is america being called out because of china's potential of making us money how we are intertwined with manufacturing. but here's the test. are the american people going to do what's right, stand behind politicians, force them to stand up and speak out because so many are dead. so many lives have been lost. economically we are never going to get these dollars back. and guess who is stronger than ever? china. at what point are we going to do the right thing and pursue this? you see "the washington post" lead editorial. the "wall street journal" editorial? everyone is paying attention now. make this administration follow through. 90 days, i want to hear a question every day about this. ainsley: this could be the

biggest test of the biden presidency do you think he will push back and hold china accountable though? steve: here is the thing. what did joe see over the last 48 hours. brian: nothing. polling. steve: make him change his mind. maybe he saw the internal polling because people have been looking at what's going on and with almost 600,000 dead americans people are going, you know, we don't want to wait for the w.h.o. we understand how things should work. joe biden said he was friends with the president of china. why doesn't he pick up the phone and say hey, what the heck is going on over there? ultimately, when it comes to china and joe biden. joe biden looks weak. and their people know that's not food. so what are they doing? they're saying okay, now we are going to investigate. one other thing to add to what brian had said earlier about how dr. fauci now is uncertain about whether or not it was lab leak and the three sick people from the -- in the "wall street journal," told -- who were working at the wuhan lab.

also the chinese military involved in bioweapons at that lab and that probably explains why they do not want to open up the lab to the world to come poke around and say hey, what were you doing in here before the pandemic struck? oh, you were brewing up that. that's against the law. they don't want to talk about that. brian: senator john kennedy brought up yesterday you gave them much. 600,000 over three years. i think it's a lot. number two followed up and said you told them not to do this type of research, yes. do you know that they did? >> i saw on the internet the results of their study so they didn't. steve: did you go to wikipedia? brian: i guess i don't know for sure. which is exactly what rand paul's point was which has been pointed out by tom cotton 1 months ago. you don't know. so why were you so quick to say this is how it happened? why dr. fauci did you say in may of 2020 did you dismiss the lab theory in an interview with national geographic because you

never turn down an interview opportunity. maybe you like the pictures, the national institute -- infectious disease had funded the wiv through mr. dan zac's nonprofit even if the funding didn't go direct to the research that caused the pandemic it's still problematic. that's the result when dr. fauci comes out and says it's not going to happen. everyone in the media says dr. fauci says it's not going to happen. his name is not donald trump so dr. fauci has to be right. now that there is no donald trump people are realizing we might as well look exactly what he is saying and what he is saying just does not stand up to the smell test, the scratch test, and no longer is he going to get soft peddle interviews. how can you though longer say dr. fauci, are you sure it's okay not to wear a mask? the bigger story who are you writing checks to and what was china doing with that money? how can you start with soft petal things of is it to come go a sports bar and stand next to somebody i don't know? that's the questions he has been getting.

ainsley: he was really pressed on this yesterday saying where did this research money go with? how do you know that china didn't use it for gain of function? he says well, it's not in the report. you trust china, basically? you know, all these people that have lost their loved ones we all deserve the answers. we have all been in masks. we all stayed at home. we all followed the rules. some people died. we want answers. it shouldn't be a liberal or conservative thing. it should just be an answer that we all deserve to know. brian: how come no one is asking is just nuts. josh rogan from "the washington post he another network that leans left why doesn't anyone have to ask these questions. i had to go on josh rogan's podcast ask questions in-depth origins of the virus? he said there is something wrong. steve: yeah. there is something wrong. that's why joe biden corrected course and said okay now we are going to do this 90 day investigation. i suggest perhaps it was internal polling. we don't know how that looks but we know how the fox polling

looks. america has changed been on joe biden since he has been president of the united states. is joe biden too liberal? almost half of you say yes. now, look at december of 2019. 36%. so, in other words, 10% more of you think that he is too liberal. about the same on about right. and is he too conservative? 5% say less. so it's curious. remember, during the campaign, we were told he is a moderate. but now that we have seen him in action for a couple of months, he is not a moderate according to the polls. ainsley: there was also another poll seven in 10 voters think crime is on the rise. if you look at the numbers, it really is think about his liberal. he ran as a moderate but then we have all of this woke i want to defund police shootings, homicides, robberies, we have fewer police officers wanting to join the forces? more retirement. brian: right. when you look at what -- there

is two things that seems to have all americans uniting, they hate wokeness and they hate cancel culture. and the "new york times" headline is noteworthy, is wokeness kryptonite for the democrats? they talked to a bunch of psychologists, social ole justs who came up with this. by the way you don't go to the "new york times" for conservative thought. so just keep this in mind, too. wokeness, from the article wokeness is kryptonite for democrats. other people hate it. if you look at america's policy preferences dems should be winning big majorities, strong negative partisanship. people faced with a party that seems to want to defund police, your point, ainsley, rename schools out in san francisco forget about lincoln on a grammar school how dangerous that could be. open them up all while crime is rising and kids' welfare is falling, you could be a democratic mom but if your personality has changed because they are staring with a laptop with a mask on, then all of a sudden you are going to change what lever you pull. the left flank of the party is

so easy to run against. barack obama said it the idea of purity and you have never been compromised and always politically woke you should get over that quickly. james carville said it a month ago it's going to destroy the party. so they're not answering the wake-up call nor the snooze button. ainsley: they might now now that that this is making the "new york times." james carville said a month ago the party knows it they are not willing to say it yet. now they are. steve: going on look at the polling changing people's opinions are different than they were three or four months ago. will it backfire on the democrats. essentially the "new york times" is putting this lead editorial out there right now. because it's like hey, maybe you guys on the democratic side, the activists. brian: is that how they talk to democrats through the "times." steve: pretty much. exactly. you are overdoing it meanwhile the republicans are going yeah, over do it some more. sean talked to a will number of them last night live from nashville. and here's how they depicted how

red america and blue america are stacking up against each other. >> the differences between our states and those police states are stark. there is a lot of republicans right here who cut taxes, who have lower regulation, who have sources for parents. >> leadership has consequences. and you just look at democrat states and what happened to families and businesses there. you look at republican states and how they are growing and they are thriving and what all these leaders up here. how it works for the american people. >> you are going to prioritize lives and livelihoods and all of us are going to err on the side of liberty and limited government. >> we are playing the price for the blue state bad decisions that they made. in iowa we are cutting taxes. we are reducing regulations. we have had our kids in school. >> if you have a political party that puts the interest of teachers unions over the interest of kids being able to just access an education at all. that tells you all you need to

know about the modern democrat party. >> governors, especially republican governors are the last line of defense not a socialist agenda but true socialism. steve: when we talk about what we are reading in the pages of "new york times" about wokeness and cancel culture and defunding the police, it's that versus everything that those guys and gals were talking about. ainsley: they are saying it's dragging down the democratic party but it's such a gift for republicans because the majority of the folks out there, including democrats want the kids back in school, democratic governors aren't doing it. if they don't like these renaming the schools. if they don't like the wokeness and democratic governors still doing it and all these schools in liberal cities still doing it how will it change the vote? brian: who has the better line? we could say who had the better life during the worst thing that could happen to society around the globe happen in america? people in the red states or the people in the blue states? and ultimately we're going to find out in 2022. but the polling shows there is a

lot more happier people in texas and florida and there is a lot more people in places like tennessee. steve: wait a minute. we are in new york. you are saying we are not happy? brian: have you walked in the street? it's the wild west out here in the east. ainsley: we are happy in our homes. just scared to go outside. steve: and, you know, jillian, we're about to invite her into your home as well and there she is. jillian: hello. ainsley: jillian, i still love this city and i think we are going to come back. jillian: i think so too. already seeing more people out there. we will keep our fingers crossed. three police officers are recovering after a shootout in texas. police say the officers were responding to a call about a suicidal man at a home in flower mount. the suspect omed fire when officers tried making contact with him. one officer's neck was grazed and another bullet struck an officer's metal shield a third officer was hit in his bullet proof vest. police returned fire. the department says they are working toward a peaceful resolution with the suspect.

this is a developing story and we will be sure to keep you updated. meantime, jurors in the mollie tibbetts murder trial could get the case as soon as today following explosive testimony from christian rivera. the murder suspect who is an illegal immigrant blames two mystery men for the death of 20-year-old tibbetts telling jurors the man men threatened him with knives. >> you drove the two men in your malibu to the cornfield where you dumped mollie tibbetts, correct? >> yes. >> rivera was not expected to take the stand in his own defense. he faces life in prison if convicted. the push to redistrict attorney george gascon is gaining traction. d.a. cynthia zimmerman supports the push and joined me earlier on "fox & friends first." >> he has been a public safety disaster. district attorneys are supposed to be fighting for crime victims and he's not doing his job.

ains the pandemic shook up the america's employment numbers last year, remember? one trend persisted. more workers were testing positive for marijuana as legalization expands around the country and as we were in a pandemic. our next guest warns it will only get worse. kevin is i bet smart approaches to marijuana and he joins us now to explain. good morning, kevin. >> good morning, ainsley, how are you. ainsley: good morning, doing well. >> why are ceceing increase is it because of the pandemic and more states legalizing it. >> this trend began before the pandemic among the legal states, it's twice the rate -- the rate of growth is twice as high in legal states vs. illegal ones, in states like nevada now they have to, you know, they are banning preemployment drug testing in cities like new york if you are a city worker they are also banning it. it's really scary. it's going back to a time when we are going to have much more less safe workplaces and driven by an industry, the pot industry that is trying to make a lot of money. ainsley: why would they ban drug testing?

they want employees to show up high at work don't care so desperate to find employees now. >> the argument is it stays in your system forever, 30 days if you use it you don't know when you use it the issue is we actually have closer technology to look at more recent use. and for most people, marijuana is in and out of your system in about three or four days and about a week. new studies show after you are high you are still exhibiting some of the negative symptoms for driving and other things. so i think it's very worrisome. it's huge liability for employers. it's already hard enough to find workers often in certain industries. this is just making it a lot harder. ainsley: i'm reading if you test positive for marijuana you have a 55% more increase in industrial accidents, 85% more injuries. 75% higher absentee rate. so it is such a liability. most people are staying at home right now and haven't been going into the office. probably safer there. but when they go into the office and they are running machines in

message reading quote your name will be all over the papers. we know there are racists that supported you and shared the message out of fear for her safety. but the activist who sent the text says it wasn't a threat. and accusations of such puts him at risk. here to discuss former department of justice official ian prior. she had reached tout ian, saw him on television and wanted to make contact. ian, what's going on here? so she took a vote. next thing you know she has a message on her phone and it's somebody she feels threatening her over what she was talking about. >> yeah. that's right. california, they had one use of force complaint in six years. but this young, spoiled privileged blm activist who is trying to force this down the council's throat didn't like that she didn't immediately bow to the demands sent threatening text he says i didn't cancel

your safety. when you threaten to cancel somebody or out somebody as a racist when they are not. especially an asian woman in a time when crime against asians are on the rise, i'm sorry, that is a threat. and this young man is a bully. interest is nothing -- there is no two ways about it. you know, she punched back on the bully. that's what you have to do. and what happens when you push back on the pully, they either crawl into their little cave or they double down. he is doubling down and he is just further showing just how immature he is. steve: to your point about him doubling down, here he is. they had the meeting via zoom, he zoomed in and says that by her saying that she is being threatened by him now he is at risk. listen to this. >> i was falsely accused by council woman calling her a racist and threatening her and her family. history is full of examples of black and brown people who have

been killed based on false accusations. my negative interaction with the police are already high. lynette, your false accusations have increased the odds that i could be killed by the police. steve: ian, i don't get it he is the one who reached tout her. evidence is the one that texted her. your name will be all over the papers. we know there are racists that supported you. and now he's the victim? >> yeah, that's what you get with the cancel commander. they live in a culture of victimization. they want to portray themselves as the victim. even though they are the ones going after innocent people for things that they disagree with. and, you know, lynette reached out to me. we have recently just started a group called unsilent majority.org. and what we are focused on is punching back at the bullies like this young man. you know, if you are going to go after innocent people with these kind of accusations and gaslight them in the press and have all your supporters calling the city

council meetings trying to get them canceled. we are going to punch back 100 times as hard. that's what we did, we exposed this in the media. hopefully the city council sees this and recognizes that they are really bowing to demands of this spoiled young man that, you know, has no business doing what he is doing to misleon. steve: a while back people were too afraid to speak up perhaps now that tide is turning and with your help it looks as if she is getting her word out. ian, thank you very much for joining us today. >> thank you for having me. steve: you bet. all right. 14 minutes before the top of the hour here in the east. janice dean joins us right now. it is a lovely thursday morning. janice: that's what happens after we get thunderstorms. it's beautiful here in new york city, i mean, sort of of a kickoff to the kickoff of the memorial day weekend. let's take a look at the maps. i will show you the temperatures right now. this morning we are make waking up into the 60 across the eastern seaboard.

having me on. please just call me guy. i was skeptical of dr. fauci from the very beginning of this. fauci has been wrong over and over again. early on and back in january he said america has nothing to worry about regarding this virus. he then criticized president trump for the travel ban from china and then he said that that decision why president trump actually saved lives? he blatantly lied to congress about masks and the american people saying they don't help and then he said that oh, no, i was lying so we could hoard ppe. he has been wrong this entire time. when tom cotton and myself were saying that this virus probably originated in a lab in wuhan, the lab where they were doing gain of function research on zoo not particular bat born diseases. he was the one saying that was a conspiracy theory. he was the one pushing the real conspiracy theory pushing that this virus originated in nature. brian: it's not politics but man is he political. if you see when he hopped on rachel maddow i love your show.

she wouldn't let me do your show. who the heck is he a virologist. why does he want to do a late night show like johnny carson is going to give him this great break. hosing down our cereal boxes. he was wrong when it came to masks. he was still wearing them indoors up until two weeks ago. evidently he knew the difference but he was putting us on. he also was wrong when he said no danger and, of course, he was wrong when it talked about the origin. he said that was no -- there was no creed deposits to that theory when this thing called logic played a role. is he intentionally deceptive or is there something else to this? >> is he either grossly incompetent or he has been lying to the american people the entire time. and, look, i'm a lawyer, i'm not a scientist. but just look at the evidence. if you were to believe dr. fauci, and the fact that this originated in nature or a wet market, you would have to believe that a bat, a thousand miles away from wuhan, traveled to wuhan, again, a thousand miles, infected no species, no

human along the way, then started infecting people around wuhan where there was the bfl 4 lab studying again the coronavirus and bat born diseases and once that virus leaked it became 20% -- i'm sorry 20 times more contagious than it was in the state in nature. to me, that's just defies logic. also we know in november, back in november, people in the wuhan institute of virology were getting covid-like symptoms. to meet evidence is staggering. dr. fauci should be fired or resign. brian: i don't understand how he can do his job and be on 12 shows a day and every single sunday show. there is something really off about this. congressman, thanks so much for doing this i appreciate it. >> thanks, brian. brian: coming up in the next hour, brian mast unleashes. don't miss it.

steve: can you figure out where that was. brian: plenty of parking spots. steve: that's the advantage to doing a morning show like this. we never have parking problems. brian: right. ainsley: true. or traffic problems. brian knows that very well. your drive in same with yours from new jersey. 7:401 here on the east coast. thank you so much for joining us. president biden orders u.s. intelligence officials to investigate the origins of the coronavirus. brian: take your time. it's only been 14 months. the probe will focus on two theories. the virus either comes from a lab or human contact with a human animal. steve: griff jenkins joins us with more from the nation's capital on the investigation. griff, the white house was talking about we have got to wait, we have got to wait, we have got to wait until yesterday. what happened? griff: i don't know, steve, ainsley and brian, i don't know maybe it was the shifting winds in washington or mounting evidence pointing to a wuhan lab leak. either way it's about about face

to the biden administration 'suggesting that the covid-19 may have originated in that lab. president biden ordering the intel community now to undertake a 90-day review as public health officials are all acknowledging the possibility for the first time. it comes as dr. fauci was grilled yesterday on capitol hill. watch. >> you gave them money and you said don't do gain of function research. >> correct. >> and you have no way of knowing whether they did or not except you trust them; is that right? >> well, we generally always trust the grantee to do what they say. >> have you ever had a grantee lie to you. >> i cannot guarantee that grantee has not lied to us. because you never know. >> and got to pint steve up until tuesday the white house said lab leak unlikely they were waiting for the world health organization to do an independent investigation no matter how long it took. now they are taking a different

approach. >> we will continue to press china to participate in a full, transparent evidence-based international investigation with the needed access to get to the bottom of a virus that's taken more than 3 million lives across the globe. griff: griff as for china's response the chinese embassy says the u.s. is politicizing origin tracing calling the lab leak a, quote: conspiracy theory. oh, by the way, facebook doing an censorship reversal if you will, now saying that they will no longer remove the claim that covid-19 is man made. steve, ainsley, brian? steve: that's right. hours after the administration said it was okay. griff, real quickly, the president said yesterday that one agency in the intel community thought there was a possibility it was a lab leak. do we know which agency? >> no, we don't. and i think that as the white house does this full reversal, you're going to get

transparency, hopefully out of them. because remember, it was our own peter doocy who first started talking about it. and no one wanted to pick up on it. well, now, all the other members of the press are pressing, so we'll certainly get a lot of answers in the coming days, i think. brian: thanks, griff. "the washington post" now asking questions. the "wall street journal" who has not been adverse to it but not been leading with it that's also the lead editorial. steve: earlier this week jen psaki was saying. brian: two days ago. steve: you don't understand how things work and that's not the process. now they have done a 180. brian: right they said it's up to the w.h.o. to investigate. they don't have the ability to investigate or have that arm or financing or independence or international investigators. ainsley: two other things, the senate has passed this bill unanimously to declassify all the information so that we can find out the origin and lindsey graham says that if china is not transparent and doesn't allow us to get this information, then there will be sanctions. and he says sanctions are yet to

come. they are working on it. steve: all right. meanwhile, we are bringing in florida republican congressman brian mast, member of the house foreign affairs committee. he knew immediately that the picture showed was not orlando and he joins us right now from down along the coast. hey, good morning to you, sir. ainsley: body of water on both sides it was a peninsula. we were saying it's orlando. brian: might have been aruba. ainsley: we will find out. steve: congressman, what do you make of suddenly, you know, after a year ago, it seemed like all the democrats were -- no possibility, could possibly be a lab leak because that's what donald trump said. now, the federal government is investigating it could be a lab leak. what happened? >> well, one, the administration, the biden administration, they had to move away from anything that was blaming china because they were on the xenophobic rant. anything with that it was xenophobic, you were wrong they were trying to use it to hammer president trump even though he was right. here is so likely why it was a

lab leak. you look at this and say china is going to be blamed one way or another for this. whether it was a leak or whether it was on accident from some market somewhere. it's to their benefit on the global stage that it was an accident but, yet, they are doing everything possible to keep this hidden from the world, to be transparent about how this happened. think about it this way, we have spent more assets with our intelligence agencies to find the origins of this than we have anything. hiv or anything. and we're still not that closer anything to hide it they wouldn't be doing that if it was an accident. ainsley: yeah. and if they blame an animal. then there wasn't an accident. so hopefully we will get some more answers, soon. but, i don't know if we will. i really don't. it's been 14 months. brian: "the washington post" editorial says the south china morning post hong kong based says they saw this one editor saw a report that the first case, november 17th, 2019, 266

people infected. so you are talking about november. we were told the first case was in december. they had 266 infected in november. now this stuff is coming out. that's when hong kong was free. they used this opportunity to make sure it wasn't hong kong free. this is out there. congressman, it's pretty clear we have to get the rest of the world to be as outraged with us that would put the trade pressure on china, right? >> it needs to. it needs to be on them. we need every agency that's lending money, that's looking at china, that's loaning them different things. saying we are going to pressure you to be transparent about this because this affected the whole globe. why don't you let us talk to those doctors that have been missing since they originally announced that this was going on in china? why don't you give us that level of transparency? because that's where the real answers lie. steve: congressman, additionally, "the washington post" is reporting this morning that apparently tuesday china made clear at the w.h.o. meeting they have no intention of

cooperating with the next steps of their investigation. and then, when you try to figure out, you know, what -- if it was a lab leak, why won't they let us in? they won't let us in because it sounds like the chinese military was involved in some sort of bioweapons stuff at that particular lab. so they're not going to say yeah, united states, come on in here and see what we have been brewing up. >> yeah. they will let u.s. dollars in that are handed over by fauci. they will let that in but they won't let anybody for transparency. that's why it points to the evidence you know what? where there is smoke there is fire. they are not letting us go out there and determine conclusively that this was an accident. why wouldn't they do that? because they are not going to come to the conclusion that it was an accident. they are going to come to the conclusion that something happened here on purpose. and that they are even more so to blame. ainsley: congressman, you have been vaccinated many of your colleagues have been vaccinated but you all still have to wear those masks on the house floor according to nancy pelosi. you refused to do it. you were slapped with a fine of

$500. she says next time it's 25 you, heads. i know you are appealing that what's the latest? >> you know, i probably got a couple fines sitting on my desk. i'm down in florida. i will see them when i get back to washington. they send them in big yellow manila envelopes. ainsley: and they dock your pay so you don't have a choice? >> they say they are going to dock your pay. i'm not by any means going to willingly give pelosi one penny from this world. so we will see what happens. we will fight it and hopefully we won't have to pay that but i think she is going to do her best to make sure we do. brian: follow the science. you are not in danger. if you weren't vaccinated your problem, not anybody else's. and her difficulties deign for republicans just comes oozing out. >> this is my case for it listen. if the speed limit says 35 miles per hour and i'm going 35. don't write me a ticket. steve: right. exactly, you are following the science. meanwhile house republicans wrote a letter to the department of defense secretary. in part you wrote we write to express concern about the

growing trend of left wing extremism in our armed forces. the military's long history of standing above politics has made it one of the most respected institutions in america. that legacy is now in jeopardy. so you have got this letter that folks like you wrote to the secretary and then you have got -- it was revealed about two weeks ago the guy from space force was relieved of his command because he was explaining how he was watching marxism and critical race theory creeping into the military and the defense secretary said if you see anything, let us know. he did. he got canned. >> the most dangerous thing for our military is wokeness. up to this point, that hasn't been the place that the military has really landed largely, there has been some folks trying to make those inroads in there over the last couple of years but has been able to be avoided. the military is a serious place. it's a life and death work nearly every single level of it. it's always serious.

it's very often dangerous. it's quite often deadly. that's no place for wokism that's going on here domestically. and we have to keep it out of there. it's going to cost people's lives in the end. brian: in the end this is also about votes. right now been pretty reliable military vote for republicans. when you go in there change the culture to the woke culture and get them voting left. and i don't think the secretary of defense has any interest in pushing back and it's very disappointing. is he fresh off the battlefield as are you. what is your memorial day message and what is going to be your thoughts this weekend, brian? >> my memorial day message would take it as this take it as a day to stop and smell the roses. what i mean by that, the way somebody lives on that gave their life is that you remember them. you remember what they did, you learn something from their life. i will think about all of the friends that i lost, i used to count them by number and i stopped counting at 67 for some reason. it doesn't mean i don't still think about all of those that i lost. i stopped keeping track

numerical number. i think about their laugh. what they wanted to do when they came home. their families, and the things that i learned from the way they lived their life and try to live my life better. and that's how they will live on in my life forever. and hopefully in my kids' life. brian: hopefully find a military cemetery because that's what this weekend is really about. congressman, thanks so much. appreciate it. ainsley: thank you so much. >> i wish you all the best. ainsley: god bless you. steve: more you as well. ainsley: more than 60 daddy dead. steve: 67. brian: iraq and afghanistan. the heath of both of those wars. steve: 7:1 in the east and jillian joins us now. jillian: good morning, we begin with a fox news alert. a ninth person died overnight mass shooting in california railyard. the victims range in age from 29 to 63. the gunman has been identified as sam cassidy. he was an employee with the transit system. authorities say he took his life

when deputies entered the building. the shooting is prompting renewed calls for gun control. >> when are we going to put down our arms literally and figuratively. our politics sail rhetoric, finger pointing all hand wringing consternation that produces nothing except for fury and frustration. ains. jillian: president biden urging congress to take action on gun control. >> a council woman is sounding the alarm as armed groups arm the city's new camping ban. >> i get it. [bleep] okay. [bleep] jillian: council woman joined us earlier and said her safety. >> i have had city staff come into my office over the last several days thanking me for speaking out about it because they are experiencing the same

thing. jillian: austin police giving the homeless until august to move out. jillian: a reported tornado down in kansas. firing up in the northwest and central parts of the state hail the size of baseballs falling in some areas. thankfully, there are no reports of any injuries. and the first winner in ohio's vax a million sweepstakes are revealed. governor dewine says a woman ina million-dollar check and joseph costello will get to attend a it television free for getting the shot. saw a spike in the covid-19 rate after the sweepstakesy announced. the state will pick four more sets of winners. that's a look at your head libraries. send it back to you. will. steve: all have you got to do is get the shot. cool for the kid. brian: we love playing lotto and gambling. steve: what patient wouldn't love a free four year ride for their kids and they are going to give more away and do that in new york state.

brian: and you don't get the virus. ainsley: that's true. it's a quarter after the top of the hour. remember this viral video of a georgia mom calling out her school board over their mask mandate for kids? >> this is not march 2020 anymore. it's time, take these masks off of my child. ainsley: guess what? that video is now banned from youtube. their reason why is next. steve: first, crisis averted. we figured it out. a live look of daytona. brian: right. looks so much like orlando. steve: looking live at daytona beach. ainsley: lots of water. ♪ ♪

our next guest says it's just another example of big tech feckless censorship. heritage foundation tech fellow kara frederick is here now. hey, kara, good to see you again. >> great to be here, ainsley. ainsley: thank you. first, what's your reaction? >> you know, this isn't the first time that big tech has censored legitimate debate. and it's not going to be the last. look at what happened with the sanity round table in april about this topic. you look at who hoover institute scott atlas his interview back in september of last year. it seemed to be part of this pervasive ethos among big tech these days that says, you know, we know what's best for you. the american people can't be trusted to make their own decisions so you can't even see this information. we're going to take it down. ainsley, i'm really worried that we're losing the marketplace of ideas and once it's gone, it is very difficult to get back. ainsley: right. they are saying youtube sent us a statement and they said they removed the video for including the claim that children are not affected by covid-19.

this was a mom's opinion about masks. she doesn't want her kids to wear masks in the it classroom or just schools. wh that video? >> well, that's a very good question. it means people should have control of their children. parents should be allowed to say what they think is best for their children. and the biggest issue here is you have seen it over and over again the censors keep getting it wrong. you had a segment about the wuhan lab leak theory that used to be a conspiracy theory but now it's within the bounds of acceptable discuss course. i look at things like the "new york post," hunter biden ukraine story that used to be russian misinformation. look at it now, hunter is not denying that the atlanta is his. so when tech companies have this broad catchall for, you know, misinformation equals things we don't like it becomes abused. they we would it like a cudgel. and this is just another instance of this happening again and again. ainsley: you are exactly right. we saw president trump being

banned on all of these sites. he was the one originally saying it was a lab leak. they took all of that down. that you all of the sudden facebook is saying okay we are going to allow it. why the change. >> well, they bow to public pressure. they bow to people like democratic politicians. they bow to mainstream outlets who now say okay, this is within the overton window we can talk about this now. it's not just the province of quacks and people who are fringe and out there. so, now that normal people say that this is acceptable, okay, the social media platforms are going to relent. you know a free society depends on the genuine interrogation of ideas. and this is corrosive to a healthy body politic. ainsley: kara, thanks for coming on. >> thanks, ainsley. ainsley: have a great day. >> you too. ainsley: after dodging bullets in -- as a war journalist. our next guest is using his experience to define what freedom really means. that's next.

good morning, steve, christian rivera's defense rested its case but it was after that shocking testimony in court take a listen to what a little of what he had to say. >> you drove the two men in your malibu to the cornfield where you dumped mollie tibbetts, correct? >> yes. >> and you're telling us that you drove back to your home alone. >> yes. >> and these two men just disappeared? >> that's right. >> rivera claims the two masked man with a gun and knife showed up in his living room and told him to get in his car which was that black chevy malibu that's been popping up throughout this trial. he then claimed they ordered him to stop jogger who tibbetts. two men claimed they knew his daughter and mother and quote said if i said something they would take care of them. now, throughout the trial, law

enforcement has said rivera stated he blacked out and couldn't remember how he killed tibbetts. tibbetts' d.n.a. was found on blood spots on the trunk of that chevy malibu. if he is convicted he faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole. back to you, steve. steve: all right, ashley, thank you very much. brian. brian: 30 minutes before the top of the hour. you know him as a war journalist dodged bullets. he has been on our show a lot. new book called freedom sebastian younger is using his experience from the frontlines to define the true meaning of freedom and what allows it continue. it's a question he explored while walking hundreds of miles along america's rarltdz, sebastian younger another fascinating book and another fascinating concept. welcome back to the show. >> thank you very much. >> you talk about being on a train, looking out there. sitting in the middle of nowhere. you get this idea with a few buddies, what if i walked the rail lines, stayed off the grid and tried to find out what real

freedom is? what did you discover about freedom? >> well, that it takes a lot of effort, right? so for 400 miles along these swathes of no mad's land totally illegal to be there and the cops at different points were looking for us. for 400 miles every night we were the only people who knew where we were, we are sleeping under bridges and abandoned buildings, often in the would w, drinking out of creeks no, one knew where we were that's one form of freedom. loosely define freedom is you can't be unfairly told what to do. unfairly controlled. the key word is unfairly, obviously. brian: sebastian, as you looked at freedom, you also flashback to different points in american history as we moved out west and down south. and one thing that stood up and i thought it would be worthy bringing this example up is the apache. why do certain tribes survive back then? why certain ones didn't? what did the apache do what we can learn from even today? >> yeah, well, my book is

divided into three sections, run, fight, and think. those are the three techniques that-three strategies for maintaining your autonomy. so what happened in the american southwest is there were two kinds of societies that noe nomad dick apache very poor but moved fast and light. pueblo people who were very wealthy, agriculturalists, irrigated fields. spanish rolled up the pueblo towns immediately. apaches survived another 300 years as autonomous people because they were so mobile. u.s. cavalry just could not catch them. they survived autonomously almost until 1900. it's extraordinary. they are a prime example of using mobility to maintain your freedom which is kind of what we were doing on the railroad lines. we were committing what we called high speed i h vagrancy.

brian: here is a fact from your book you can read tore i can read it. >> i don't have the book in front of me go for it. brian: essential problem for groups well organized enough to defend themselves against others that are well organized enough to oppress their own. power is so readily abused that one could almost say that its concentration is anthem particular call to freedom democracy in origin indigenous form san attempt to balance the two. dare i say the best way to balance the two? >> yeah. i would say that that's true. i mean in our sort of original human state people lived in groups of 30, 40, feet people where the power intrapersonally often abusive leaders were simply killed there is a lot of data on that in groups. in democracy with roughly law,

of course that egal tarren system is codified in our system. what it means is that our leaders, our generals, our most wealthy people are still subject to the exact same laws that everyone else is and the courts apply to them that they cannot abuse the -- their position of authority and power to further their own personal interest. brian: right. we need good leaders and that is an example for today and freedom also is an obligation to help each other, if you are on your own discover in your book, you don't last long and you could be free in a free country. but we have to depend on each other that's one of the themes i walked away with in reading freedom. >> absolutely. humans did not survive on their own in nature. we survive because we live in groups. that group protects you from the other groups. that's where your freedom comes from, that means you have to abide by the norms of the group eternal conversation, and often between democrats and

republicans about what is legitimate government authority and what is just arbitrary imposition of power. brian: i look forward to your next bookworking on. you had a near death experience called pulse, you will go back to writing what you call best. you experience it and put it on the page you were there. even before 9/11. thanks, sebastian. >> thank you. brian: all right. meanwhile, up next, the fight for fair sports. a student athlete says she was the fastest grow until she started competing against transathletes that made it impossible. we will talk to her next.

counsel chris anna holcomb. ladies, good morning to both of you. >> good morning. steve: chelsea, you wrote this thing in "u.s.a. today" and the headline says it all. says i was the fastest girl in connecticut but transgender athletes made it an unfair fight. because you feel that it is not fair for you, somebody who is born biologically a female to be competing against transgender athletes who were born boys. right? >> >> yeah. i mean biological distinction between males and females, actually want to protect the biological female category. [inaudible] steve: chelsea, how many times did a transgender athlete, somebody who is born male, beat you in some of the biggest races in connecticut? >> they beat me every race. i personally lost four state

championships awards and countless other opportunities to advance and place and medal just because there was a biological male in my race. steve: that is why you joined this original lawsuit. christiane, the lawsuit was just thrown out by the lawsuit by the judge on what grounds. >> look, the court got it wrong. the court essentially told chelsea and the other female athletes that their accomplishments mean nothing and 14 months after we filed the federal lawsuit, the court still dodged the real issue in this case which is the fundamental unfairness of forcing girls like chelsea to compete against biological males there are real differences between the sexes that give males athletic advantage over girls. steve: christiane, the judge said i'm throwing this out because the two transgender athletes that lawsuit they graduated case closed the judge said, however, that's not case closed you are reopening it and pressing on with your legal

case, right? >> that's exactly right. look, chelsea and the other female athletes all have records that need to be fixed and let's keep in mind, the bad policy is still on the books and last time around biological male athlete competed on a boy's team for three seasons turned around and couple weeks later started competing in the girl's category and dominated this can come up quickly. we need to get this policy fixed. steve: chelsea, that's one of the reasons you wrote the op-ed for "u.s.a. today." what's interesting it's interesting after it ran then apparently they got some backlash and they said oh we have got to change something there was an editor's note that said this column has been updated to reflect "u.s.a. today" standards and style guidelines. we regret that hurtful language was used. and the hurtful language is you referred to them as male runners, right? >> yeah. there is a clear distinction between biological men and biological males and when talking about this case, we want to be as clear as possible that

this is simply about bilg, that's why we use blige terms to talk about it for them to change it really frustrating because without that our case kind of goes out the window. steve: sure, i'm looking at the news this morning. a recent gallup poll shows 62% of americans believe that transgender athletes should only compete on sports teams of the sex they were assigned at birth. and, chelsea, and christiana, for both of you and this will be towards chelsea, chelsea, it's all about fairness. you just want a fair race. >> yeah, that's exactly it. we literally just want to compete in our sports fairly. steve: because, christiane, it's not fair the way it. >> no, it certainly is not. biological males have a 10 to 50% performance advantage over competently fit female athletes. we want girls be on the it

wuhan virus by tom cot and later president trump. why would it be located in wuhan? is it coincidence right by the laboratory there where they were working on different viruses where they have had sars outbreaks before? and the more you brought it up, things like facebook would bring you down, social media would freeze your account. not many were talking about it and some never stopped. as early as this week it was brought up in the pressroom by peter doocy and they say well, we don't want to do an investigation. you don't know how this works. the way it works is an international organization investigates the w.h.o. will do that. that's not what we do. man, did things change yesterday. steve: they absolutely did. because, out of nowhere. the white house did a 180. they are not apparently going to wait for the w.h.o. investigation, which we had heard earlier. brian: they don't investigations. steve: well, they do but they are white washers regarding china. yesterday joe biden ordered the intel community to do a 90-day review to try to figure out as best they could where exactly

this virus originated because apparently two of the national security agencies think it could have started with an animal. and one of the agencies, and we don't know which one, thinks it could be a lab leak. peter doocy, who has been steadfast. he has been asking about it all along, and he was dismissed although he was proven right yesterday in going after that line of questioning. here he is asking what's going to happen to china if it turns out it actually happened? >> if it turns out that covid-19 originated from some sort of a lack accident in china which the president now says one element of the intel community thinks is possible, would the president seek to punish china? >> we're not going to go there just yet. we have to go through the ninth day review. >> anything that kills 591,116 americans, is that something

that another nation either was responsible or knew more than they were letting on, like you said, they weren't letting the newspaperrers in and that hurt the overall investigation forever, what would the president do? >> he asked his team back in marks right, to do this -- to look into this, look into the origins, so this is not the first time we have heard his voice, his concern about the origins of covid-19. steve: and just a couple days ago he was told from the podium, peter, you do not understand how things work. and then yesterday the white house did a 180. we don't know why. we don't know why. we don't know what joe biden saw in that intel or maybe he is just looking at the internal polls where people are going hey, why is the white house not curious how this thing works? ainsley: this could be the biggest test of biden's presidency he could lead the world on this and hold china accountable if it was proven there was an accident in that lab. the accident in the lab costs millions of people's lice if that's where it happened in that

lab. this administration doesn't want to just say when peter asked them that question, yes, we will hold china accountable. of course we will. brian: right. so, it's just amazing, too. and is that "the washington post" lead editorial is about the wuhan virus and about the south china morning post who wrote back in march of 2020 their sources say that this thing started in november and they had about 266 cases. tell that to italy. they were blindsided by it. they were the first to be blown over by this virus and so many killed. they were ill prepared to handle it. the "wall street journal" today lead editorial, the virus lab theory has got new credibility. no kidding. it's actually more than credible. i think it's more like logical. then the subset is what's happening with our guys? why aren't our people asking more questions like anthony fauci? he does 10 shows a day, i'm not kidding, not counting the podcast and radio shows. not one time does he bring up speculation or anger about how this started. this is your business. this is what do you on a daily

basis. how could you not say the wuhan lab very likely or there is a great possibility some of these very risky gain of function research took place there? and then after blasting senator rand paul and rand paul being told on other channels that he is like a qanon conspiracy theorist we did give 600,000 to this other agency they told me they were not doing gain of function research but they could have lied no. kidding. i saw the results. on the internet. everything you get on the internet is 100 percent accurate. a follow-up question which never happens on other channels reveals the fact that he does not know what happened to our money. ainsley: who writes those reports? china? we trust china? we trust their reports on the internet? steve: right. and the w.h.o. keep in mind, it is that one lab, the one place in the world where they do the research on

these kind of coronavirus. and so for them to say, you know, probably started over at the wet mark it was dismissed a year ago because trump said i think it came from the lab. it's looking more and more like that. the reason china doesn't want to open it up from real investigators from agencies like the united states, is the fact that the chinese military was involved in bioweapons at that lab, and if we went, in we would go what were you guys cooking? oh, you are not supposed to be doing that. that is against hume and that is egg illegal. ainsley: wasn't it nikki haley who said it's too late now because if we go into that lab, you know they have destroyed that evidence. brian: it's disappeared. ainsley: it's been a year and a half. lind said graham says we will impose sanctions if you don't give us these answers and if you are not transparent. facebook, you weren't allowed to write that it was a man made virus in february they said that. they just have reversed that.

now they are announcing if you do write that they won't ban you. brian: do you believe facebook has this type of control. steve: they changed their minds. brian: other nations can't stand up to china we can and everyone else will follow. legally you can have every nation suing china for all we have lost. let alone the lives, material and economic gains. steve: the evidence is gone. china is going to say there is no evidence. are. ainsley: one more thing before you move onto the next top ping. it senators saying want to declassify the information so we can find out the origins and the senate than newly passed that bill every person who lost somebody wants to know. died of coronavirus. where did it come from. ainsley: who killed my mom and dad what happened? janice lost both of her in-laws. hundreds of thousands of body bags in america alone. steve: just think about it, had china been forthcoming at the beginning of the pandemic it

perhaps would not have spread around the world infected and killed so many. brian: if you don't get the "new york post" delivered and don't download it you are crazy because they lead the charge and especially on this story. it cost them their twitter account for a few months leading up to the election. a lot of people think including russell brand, the comedian, that totally out of line, including everybody here on this couch that you would freeze an account simply because they were plusing emails allegedly from hunter biden which is not denied. more stories about hunter biden and his email and what his dad did when he was vice president and when he was former vice president. and that is details on two separate dinners that hunter biden hosted revolving international business people that his dad attended, one of which was a ukrainian, a kazakhstanian and russian. the other one -- by the way, one of the russians was a disgraced now dead moscow mayor who was involved in some type of

business transaction. and joe biden was there. there's a picture of all four of them together. and there is a promise that my dad would attend. how does that relate? one of those people was a burisma executive. burisma famously gave him a million dollars a year because he rode a train a lot. hunter biden, some type of addiction that they found attractive. and he got to sit on that board and got a million dollars a year while his dad was vice president. when his dad became former vice president he got his pay cut in half. ainsley: getting paid 38,000 a month. when his dad with a no longer vice president went down to $41,500 a month. they had this dinner. you were saying, steve, you know this restaurant in washington. steve: milano very fancy. brian: one of the two. ainsley: catchphrase where the world's most powerful people go. executive for burisma sent an email to hunter saying thank you for introducing me to your dad. dear hunter thank you for

inviting me to d.c. and givings me an opportunity to meet your father. steve: that flies in the face of what joe biden told our correspondent who used to live upstairs at my house when he was out on the campaign trail because the big story was why isn't anybody covering this hunter biden thing? nobody was covering it except fox news and "the new york post." before the election, to brian's point earlier, that is why big tech pretty much shut down anybody who is telling this story. now we know because miranda devine writing a book come out in september called "the laptop from hell" she details this story in the "new york post" today. it just makes it very curious. when peter doocy asked joe biden about his son's overseas business dealings, was joe biden lying to peter's face? here's the flashback. >> mr. vice president, how many

times have you ever spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings. >> i have never spoken with my son about his overseas business dealings. >> i have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything having to do with their businesses, period. brian: tony bobulinski would go that's totally wrong because he already met one-on-one with joe biden and said take care of my son. his brother is involved in the deal. email transactions between them. and after that second meeting at that cafe milano,devon archer was there. since i think he is even in jail his former partner or is indicted. devon archer and this rosemont seneca got a checked wired to them for $3.5 million. very productive. i don't know what they're investigating. i don't know where this money is. but evidently hunter biden is peddling a book because he has no money. where that money is, who got paid for it did he ever pay taxes on it? steve: but this email we have been talking about this they are discussing in the "new york post" prove that joe biden did speak to his son about his

overseas business dealings. ainsley: maybe they sat at that restaurant and talked about flowers or something. brian: what is kazakhstan like? i hear it's terrible. steve: this is delicious calamari. can we get more over here table 9? brian: still comes down to we do not know no one asked the question the follow-up question did you meet with tony bobulinski out at -- out in california? at the beverly hills hotel? did you discuss the business? he says he has pictures and he has got receipts. did that, indeed, happen, in did hunter biden actually cut you in on the deal? are you the big guy in these exchanges? we still don't know because he was referenced directly unless they want to deny it. ainsley: if you read the newspaper, you will see them preparing the guest lists. hunter biden prepared the guest list it says three weeks before that cafe milano dinner. steve: a little fishy. brian: a little fishy? steve: let's see if joe biden is asked about it and if he says something that would seem to indicate that that is true?

brian: hunter biden has great response. he says i don't know. i don't know if it's my laptop. what a great response. ainsley: i assumed he never picked up his laptop. took there in the first place. steve: does not know. brian: those are emails he knows. emails, absolutely. steve: we will see. brian: he knows, believe me. steve: quarter after the top of the hour jillian joins us and there is a lot of other news. jillian: there is get to the fox news alert. a gunman is now in custody following an 11-hour standoff in flower mount, texas. three police officers are recovering after exchanging gunfire with the suspects late last night. police say the officers were responding to a call about a suicidal man at a home. one officer's neck was grazed and another bullet struck an officer's metal shield. a third officer was hit in his bullet proof vest. all three are expected to be okay. michigan journalist charlie leduff claims the nursing home death count under governor gretchen whitmer's administration could be higher. >> do you know what they did?

morning very tough decision. atlanta police was good to me: i had a good time while. i was there i was able to pick up a lot of -- i was basically allowed to do whatever i wanted to within law enforcement mentoring and different things i also was a gang detective. i was allowed to pretty much build my career career. it was bittersweet when i had to make a decision on whether to leave or not. brian: your family after the george floyd death said, you know, they got really worried about you more than ever. especially your daughter said, listen, are you sure you want to do this? do you have to be a cop anymore? but you weren't one of the 400 heft atlanta to stop being a cop. you are 400 officers down now from where you were prior to this. you went to st. louis who needs police officers even more. did you have any doubt about continuing law enforcement?

>> not really. it was one of those things where an opportunity was presented to me that i had to take advantage of and it was an opportunity for me to move back home and be closer to my family. i had been away from my family since i left to go to college. and for my children to be able to see my mom, for me to see my brothers, my sisters and just my friends that i have been away from, they have seen me doing all the different stuff. and i was basically 8, 9 hours away. it was an opportunity to come back home. and the opportunity to work in my old school district. so, by me coming back, i have been able to not only work continuously in law enforcement, but i got the opportunity to coach freshman basketball and different things like that and just to be able to put my take and my influence on a younger generation. brian: at a really important time. and you founded something that people talk about the key is

trump fox news contributor. good morning. >> good morning. ainsley: you heard mayorkas say the border is closed may 17th to the 24th border patrol agents said they nabbed 10 sex offenders that's within one week. what's your reaction? >> yeah, well, that's the 10 that we know about, ainsley. think about all those people we don't know about. look, they can say that the border is closed. i can also say i'm a sparkly unicorn that doesn't make it true. i think the bottom line is that we know that the people that are coming in to america are not coming in through legal ports of entry. they are not coming in the legitimate way. they are coming in through the same channels they have been since joe biden took office and i think anyone that paid attention and they were all paying attention, people who had -- plans to come here illegally the entire campaign saw joe biden and kamala harris. they both individually and together indicated if you wanted to come to america illegally, now was the time to do it under their watch.

so, the idea that the border is closed i think is totally ridiculous. nobody is buying that and where is the border czar? where is kamala harris, our vice president who for months now has been tasked, excuse me, with addressing this problem. she is nowhere to be found. the problem is if she came down to the border and focused on the problems, people would see it is actually a problem and they don't want to show that. steve: we have been showing this week this is video from our drone team down on the southern border earlier this week, lara, where, you know, mayorkas can say the border is closed but clearly all those people how did they get through a closed border. it flies in the face of what are my lying eyes telling me? it looks like it's wide open. we all know that. >> clearly insulting to the american people to suggest that the border is closed. just tell us it's closed. we can see it's not. we can see that people still flowing in. i will tell you what, maybe he should go down and talk to the ranchers in texas to the people

that actually live on the border ask them if they think the border is closed. it is certainly not. ainsley: there is a new fox news poll 46% of the people polled the voters say that biden is too liberal. that is up 10% compared to december of 2019. 40% say now he is about right. 42 percent said that back in december of 2019. only 10% say he is too conservative. 15%. steve: who are those 10%. ainsley: back in december of 2019. they are saying is too liberal he ran on a more moderate platform. >> yeah, he told us all that he would be moderate. remember, we tried to warn people that joe biden would be too weak to stand up against the far left radicals that are now running the democrat party. and we were right. i mean, you look at what he has done to america in five months in office. it's really horrifying stuff. and he doesn't have what it takes to stand up to these

people. instead of focusing on things that would actually make life better for americans, i don't know, making sure that people have jobs that our inflation isn't through the roof. that we have reasonable gas prices that we don't have gas lines around america? instead, he has focused on the opposite and all of these things are going the wrong way. so, yeah, i think he is too liberal. i think it's exactly what he said. he said he would be the trojan horse for socialist policies. and you have seen it time and time again come to fruition in a very short amount of time. will. steve: lara, a year ago during the primary season beating everybody. joe biden was come in fourth or fifth way back at the back of the pack bernie sanders was surging. bernie is a radical but joe biden is certainly not liberal. is he moderate. and now, of course, we have seen and, you know, what has been passed so far he is quite the

progressive. >> yeah. he absolutely is a progressive. and i mean even worse than that. and i think that the problem is people really question is joe biden even the person in charge? you know, who is deciding on all of these policies most people don't think that it's joe biden. they don't think he really knows exactly what is going on all the time. so it does beg the question who is running the white house? who is running the government of the united states of america? steve: i read an interview earlier this week where i believe it was anita dunn who said there are a lot of things that do not rise to the level where we talk to the president about it which, to your point, who is making those decisions if it's not joe biden? that's for another day. lara, thank you very much for joining us live. ainsley: thanks, lara. >> you have got it. ainsley: janice has the forecast for us. >> it is a beautiful day in new york city. it was really hot yesterday. take look at those temperatures. yesterday, i mean, a lot of folks probably wish these are the temperatures we were going to get for memorial day weekend. unfortunately, that is not going

view mirror and we are going to say how many liberties beings exactly did we give up to the state governor? >> it's astounding, in fact, these executive orders usually are exercised only in states of emergency. but we have never seen this go on and on and on and on. and so many freedoms were sacrificed and so now the good news in california is this is statewide and it's permanent. it's not just for this particular issue of covid. this can never ever ever happen again in california. that's our goal across the country to close this chapter and never repeat it again. and as a result, it's a first of its kind in the nation. permanent injunction statewide and then the state now has to pay $1.35 million because of their unconstitutional actions. steve: okay. so you are getting the money, pastor. i bet you would like an apology as well from the governor, wouldn't you? >> well, no. you know, we forgave governor newsom a long time ago. we just feel that we just need to say that the constitution

it's a law of the land and no one is above the constitution including the governor. and so i hope he learns from this and i hope that other officials who understand that we have a tremendous nation. i love america. i'm an immigrant that became a citizen and coming out of my dad out of north korea he was a pastor, a prisoner of war, and we saw how the u.s. forces delivered us great country but we have to go back to constitutional law. steve: indeed. pastor and mat, thank you very much for joining us live. >> thank you. steve: stepping aside. we'll be right back. ♪ why hide your skin if dupixent has your moderate-to-severe eczema or atopic dermatitis under control? hide my skin? not me. by hitting eczema where it counts, dupixent helps heal your skin from within, keeping you one step ahead of eczema. and that means long-lasting clearer skin... and fast itch relief for adults. hide my skin? not me.
