3:01 am
defunding the police even after a group of kids steals his car. >> we need programmatic will in place support these kids rather than them committing crime. >> come off the bag, well, shouldn't be laughing it's not a bad idea. oh my goodness. there was nobody at first. >> no way. >> live from the west side of manhattan you are looking at the intrepid aircraft carrier. it's an air and space museum open to the public especially this weekend. memorial day weekend official kickoff this friday morning. welcome aboard, folks, the unofficial start to summer and carley and will we're very excited because the all-american summer concert series is back and today we just heard him singing brantley gilbert is going to be with us thanks to
3:02 am
our friends at best western hotels and resorts. carley: that's right, i love brantley gilbert. he said he has been working on a lot of music during the pandemic. what are you going to do if you are at home and you are a musician. you can't do the concert thing. he is working on new stuff. hopefully get some of that going on in the show later this morning. will: i have enjoyed the summer convert series as a view. this will be my first time to partake as a host of the show. i'm a big gilbert brantley fan as well. we will see what he unveils later on in the show as well. steve: in the meantime the show starts right now. today, president biden is going to unveil a massive 6 trillion that's with a t budget proposal. carley: includes big investments in education, healthcare and infrastructure and would bring federal spending to its highest level since world war ii. will: and at that time we were fighting, of course a world war. not this time. griff jenkins joins us live from washington with the breakdown of
3:03 am
where we are going to spend all of this $6 trillion, griff? griff: good morning, will, carley and steve. hey big spender the wants congress to bust open the checkbooks leading a gap between his proposal and g.o.p. $5 trillion wide to be exact. let's take a look what's in this. major boosts for everything, infrastructure, transportation, healthcare and combating climate change. the president made a case for it in cleveland yesterday. >> >> the bottom line is, this the biden economic plan is working. we had record job creation. seeing record economic growth. we are creating a new paradigm. one that rewards work. >> but one agency got left totally flat. dls their budget unchanged from last year despite a border crisis at levels not seen in two decades. republican counter offer was far leaner, 928 billion. senator capito who leads the
3:04 am
investigations said they sought to stick to the basics. >> i think done something that has stayed true to what our beliefs are sticking to core physical infrastructure. griff: despite increase secretary mayorkas says he will request 1.2 billion in technology port of entry and enhanced migrant care but no border wall. meanwhile, progressives want deeper immigration enforcement cuts. ayanna pressley haight a budget to the reflection of our values under the last administration tipped and increased funding accountable agencies like ice and bp exacted a long lasting hurt and harm in our communities. 50% of americans support building more border wall. but, of course, that's not in the president's plan. so, what if g.o.p. doesn't like it? well, democrats trying to use
3:05 am
budget reconciliation to go it alone. will, carley, steve? steve: they could. all right. thank you very much, griff. cover of the "new york post" take a look here hog wild. so he is riding a pig obviously to suggest pork. it's a lovely graphic, however. if you notice the pig has a little bib and on it says $6 trillion. and will, you are absolutely right. last time we spent this proportion of our g.d.p. was when we were fighting the nazis. but, instead. biden's massive budget proposal instead is going to pay for electric cars and a whole unionized force of healthcare workers and elder care workers and free universal pre-k among other things. will: you know that analogy, steve. the bib, what we should know is what stains will be left on that bib? what kind of pork what kind of
3:06 am
as we heard from ayanna pressley, a budget is a reflection of your values. the american people need to understand where the $6 trillion is going. because that number just sort of becomes abstract. it's hard to comprehend. steve: we can't comprehend a million let alone a trillion. will: when you look into budgets whether or not american rescue plan, american family plan whatever number they give it. what you find when you peal it back. money going to help schools but to fund critical race theory. the to funding the idea that you have to teach this kids this poisonous race sponsored racism. you can fund every poisonous wish list item that you ever had. carley: i think the big question is what is president biden trying accomplish with this much spending because this is the jobs plan, this is the family plan it really is, because we are not fighting a world war why
3:07 am
would we increase the deficit that much. i think whether or not president biden is a one or two term president this shows that he wants to change the country. steve: fundamentally. carley: he wants the country to shift into a much more progressive way progressive ideas that go along with it that are really expensive. so congressman kevin mccarthy he was on with hannity last night and this is what he had to say about it. >> this is too extreme and too expensive. think about what we are see saying right here. this is about everything everyone every warned us about. will debt so large 100 percent of the g.d.p. no coming back from that sounds like venezuela or cuba. even obama's economists tell you this is wrong. and when he is doing it is wrong. is he doing it with an economy that is booming back. so he is creating inflation. is he rewarding people not to work. and a short five months he has put into place we haven't seen
3:08 am
since jimmy carter. if he simply diagnose did nothing, he would make america stronger. steve: ultimately the days of big government are back in a gigantic way. the only winners when you look at the fact that yesterday he said i'm a capitalist but -- and then he went on to explain, you know, if you are a capitalist, you don't punish job creators. and that's what this bill would do because to pay for all that stuff, he is going to jack up a bunch of taxes. republicans don't want to go along with that let's see what the democrats have up their sleeve. will: really fascinating video emerged yesterday from the daily caller where they interviewed one of the migrants crossing the border. that migrant was from venezuela. that migrant was saying don't go down the path we just left. don't go down the path of socialism you will end up with a backpack on your back looking for a new place to live. carley: on tuesday, peter doocy was at the white house and
3:09 am
asking jen psaki about the origins of the coronavirus. and he was basically given the run around. by wednesday. steve: peter, you don't understand how things work. we have got wait for the w.h.o. she says. carley: by wednesday wants the intelligence community to redouble their efforts to figure out how this virus was unleashed on the earth. big question was why the sudden change? what happened? so the "new york times" has a headline out this morning and they seem to have the answer u.s. is said to have unexamined intelligence to poor over on virus. president is calling for ninth day investigation after intelligence officials told the white house they had a bunch of still unexpected evidence so computer analysis, all this stuff. and they might be able to crack the case. now, we don't know what this evidence is. but they say that they are diving into it. they are really interested on seeing if this is a lab leak.
3:10 am
apparently the government hasn't exhausted all of that information. this is very good news. now we know why the president wants to redouble his efforts. steve: yeah if he is going to release that publicly. here's the thing we knew a year ago odds were it was probably a lab leak. of the one place on earth where do they do coronavirus research? at the wuhan lab. hello. and that's where, according to the "wall street journal" earlier this week they said look, three of their workers all working in the same unit got so sick, they wound up in the hospital. and then you've got, you know, dr. fauci in video that he did with politifact and was released earlier this week. he said, you know, i'm not so sure it was -- it came from animals, i'm not so sure. then you have got this guy who was part of the trump administration state department who was on our channel last night and he said when we were doing the investigation into the origin of the coronavirus, there was no evidence to show that it
3:11 am
jumped from an animal to people. that means probably a lab leak. listen to this. >> despite the claims of our scientific it community including the national institutes of health and dr. fauci nih organization. there was almost no evidence that support a natural zoonotic, you know, evolution or source of covid-19. he said, you know, okay, let's look at the both sources of evidence, natural zoonosis or come out of lab. of the data backed itup came oue supernatural source. steve: exactly. will: okay, this is infuriating. first of all, two questions and an answer. why then did they speak so dismissively and conclusively
3:12 am
for the better part of a year. steve: you know why. will: i do know why. that's my answer. and the second question before i get to my answer steve is this why did they shut down the inquiry into this a few months ago. why did they shut down the trump administration inquiry. they had this in place. mike pompeo was in charge of an investigation into this that they shut down. the answer that i do know why, it's pause ultimately it is always about, always about president donald trump. steve: of course. will: if china was to blame, then somehow for the mainstream media and the left president donald trump was less to blame for the pandemic. most important thing for their life for the past four or five years is ensuring that donald trump is to blame for everything even at the cost of our national security. steve: it if it is ultimately proven that it was a lab leak after what over a year of people saying look, it jumped from bats to people. those people who said that, given that they poo pooed it
3:13 am
because it was simply donald trump, they don't have just a little egg on their face. they have a whole omelet. how many people around the world died because china didn't alert the world, hey, we have unleashed something here in wuhan beware and do that going forward we're going to tell you in the next hour about how there is a bipartisan push in congress today to wind up with a bill so that you could sue the country that the guy on the picture right, the chinese president runs. carley: let's talk about how the coronavirus is still effecting people here at home. long island will have different rules for vaccinationed and unvaccinationed teens. so last year, kids didn't get to have a prom. steve: no prom. carley: now still being affected because at this long island school port washington high school the prom is going to take
3:14 am
place on june 27th. so kid who are vaccinated will be able to attend the problem without a mask. steve: because they are vaccinated. carley: you will know who is vaccinated and unvaccinated imagine the problem that's going to cause at home if mom doesn't want you to get vaccinated you will have to wear a mask to prom. steve: if you go to the prom and not vaccinated you have got to present a negative covid tests. they are trying to be careful and i get had this. a mom said this to the post anonymous. doesn't want trouble. she said i don't think they should be singling out kids whose parents don't want them to get the vaccine. level playing field all or nothing. what she want is all the kids to wear the mask. will: that's not the way to go. steve: that's what she wants. she wants everybody to water mask. think about what's going on now in new york and in ohio as well.
3:15 am
vaccinations through the worth up 50% because people have the opportunity to win a million dollars. carley: that will do it. steve: or four years of college. for a kid on the fence, this could actually be a good incentive to get the vaccine, hey, i can go to the prom and i don't have to wear a mask i'm getting the shot. will: hold on, because i don't think we fully encapsulated how insane this is and how much we have lost our mind. we are going, to at least in long island, segregate students between vaccinated and unvaccinated. steve: they will still be together. will: no. some reports that those unmasked can be in one section and those that are masked and not vaccinated in others. steve: i think they are all in the same room. will: dance or shuffle around their own table. separately socially distanced groups. that's not all. this although not completely confirmed you i was going to say
3:16 am
prom should be outdoors and no one needs to be masked. steve: one kid said it might be in a tent. we don't know exactly. look, this is what the school district has come up with. this is what the superintendent said. they said the health and safety of our students staff and community are the port washington school district foremost priority. the district is in close contact with local and state health officials and will continue to regularly monitor any changes in guidance. will: covid's risk to children including those under the age of 17 is akin to the common flu at this point. that's not me. that's doctors like nicole saphier giving the science. this is our reaction to something that has a risk factor akin to the common flu. steve: i bet you a bunch of the kids, because that prom would be one month from right now the 27th. i bet you a lot of kids are going to wind up getting the shot just so they don't have to wear a mask.
3:17 am
carley: 17 under your mom and dad's roof. steve: i get it long-term effects on children are unknown at this point. they say it's safe but what about long term. will: doesn't have fda approval. steve: they haven't done any tests over a year or two or five. carley: there will be bedazzled masks. steve: that mask would have a silver lining. carley: exactly. turn it over to ashley strohmier to ho has headlines for us. ashley: san jose nine workers killed by disgruntled worker. the video of sam cassidy walking outside the transit facility. he was reportedly held by u.s. customs five years ago while returning from the philippines. the "wall street journal" reports books about terrorism, fear and manifest toes along with notes on how he hated the transit system. and republican donor foster friess has died. he was a successful investor who
3:18 am
donated a lot of his fortune he ran for governor of wyoming back in 2018. tributes pouring in online. former u.s. ambassador to germany ric grenell tweeting in part the conservative movement lost a great friend today. and senator rand paul calling foster a true patriot and generous person and a good person who always had a kind and encouraging word friess was 81 years old. atlanta city counts sillman who voted to defund the police called 911 after a group of kids after a group steals his mercedes. >> i will not press charges against these kids and the reality is this we neat programmatic initiatives in place to support these kids to give them another pathway instead of them committing crime. >> antonio brown supports the defund movement saying no number of police officers could have prevented that crime. he recently announced his run for mayor. and take a look at this, a giant shark terrifies a boat if full
3:19 am
of tourists sailing in the atlantic. take a watch. video of that shark circling the shark wrapped up 37 million views online. many are prehistoric size of a great white. large large yet harmless shark. a cull tid bit about that. it has 1500 feet and six rows. only a fourth of an inch long. will: it's not extinct. carley: car that should have been our a block. steve: we are going to need a bigger boat. will: armed teacher hailed as a hero for stopping alleged kidnapper on campus. we will tell you how it all unfolded after the break. plus, get vaxxed or stay masked, that was joe biden's demand, a new study says mask mandates

3:34 am
soaring deficits won't hurt the economy. that's a big gamble because the economy is all of us. >> yeah. when you said how it will hurt our wallet. the operative word was us. all of us, to your point. it is a monumental gamble. it's not even a gamble. he is essentially saying deficits do not matter because, listen, they are already extraordinarily high and many people think we are in danger even before this budget. we are enjoying a period where interest rates are extraordinarily low. here's the thing. they can't get any lower. at some point, in fact one of the main stories in the stock market this year has been maybe that it's time for interest rates to start going higher. so essentially we are talking about maybe eventually having to spend a trillion dollars a year. maybe more, especially when you add in the biden deficit of 1.5, $2 trillion a year on the interest, on the interest. in the meantime, you know,
3:35 am
1.8 trillion. do you know what the most amazing thing to me is that admittedly the administration admits that this will not move the g.d.p., mediocre growth as long as the eyes can see. mounting all of this debt. sort of like the old saying i went to and all i got was this lousy t-shirt. we jacked up spending like never before all we got was astronomical debt. put that on a t-shirt. charles, when you were talking about interest rates being so low. remember, not so long ago, there were a lot of retirees who depended on interest, on cds and now it's at zero and scratching heir heads what the heck do we do. >> you are right. our economy has been tilted to a point where it's punished savers and pensioners. the only way if you are lucky enough to have access to the
3:36 am
stock market. you have a 401(k) that's been a savings grace. of the old school you go to the bank and get a certificate of deposit. that's long gone and that's not coming back any time soon. so, you know, it is -- here is the whole thing. we are talking about this from an economic point of view. we need to be honest. this is not about economics. right? this is a plan that will be sold on the notion of just or justice as a way of creating so-called fairness. of a way of punishing those who somehow got way more than they deserve and we will redistribute it to those who didn't. and it's a plan that goes against the nature of america, against the foundation. how do we become the greatest country in the world in a relatively short period of time. how did that happen? what are the roots of that? and do we want to pull those roots out and settle, you know, for an existence of realed me rl mediocrity and by the way jeff

bezos will still be the richest person in the world. steve: everyone listens to it jamie dimon he was talking to the house services committee yesterday and he said something we know all too well. because of these very lavish federal and state supplements for unemployment, a lot of people don't want to get off the couch. watch. >> the reasons are many fold including some of the unemployment insurance, including the factor schools haven't reopened up and including the fact that people have a lot of money and they didn't particularly feel like going back to work. steve: that's why a number of states have said all right, enough with the federal supplement. we can't do that because our small businesses and our big businesses have jobs open and nobody takes them because everybody wants to stay home. >> not do everybody want to stay home, the main part here is that everyone can. of you are getting paid to stay home and as we look at the
3:38 am
amount of money. right now we have a number coming thought a couple hours that will update us. the last time we checked, we had over a trillion dollars in excess savings. $6 trillion saved. debt to disposable income ratio lowest ever. that's ha what jamie dimon is talking about. have you ever gone on a vacation nice five day one week vacation and took all you could to go back to work? imagine if you have been sitting at home for six or seven months and the checks keep coming you mean you really want to get up and go back to that job you always hated anyway? come on, i mean, this is human nature. but, again, this is not how we stay great. this is not how we move the needle. this is not how we keep the foundation going for future generations. we don't put it on pause and we certainly don't go backwards. steve: i was on vacation for six months and all i got was this lousy t-shirt. all right, charles payne, thank you very much. we are going to be watching you today making money on fox business 2:00 p.m. eastern time. great show. all right. still ahead on this friday, a

(vo) i am living with cll and i am living longer. thanks to imbruvica. imbruvica is a prescription medicine for adults with cll or chronic lymphocytic leukemia. it will not work for everyone. imbruvica is the #1 prescribed oral therapy for cll, and it's proven to help people live longer. imbruvica is not chemotherapy. imbruvica can cause serious side effects, which may lead to death. bleeding problems are common and may increase with blood thinners. serious infections with symptoms like fevers, chills, weakness or confusion and severe decrease in blood counts can happen. heart rhythm problems and heart failure may occur especially in people with increased risk of heart disease, infection, or past heart rhythm problems. new or worsening high blood pressure, new cancers, and tumor lysis that can result in kidney failure, irregular heartbeat, and seizure can occur. diarrhea commonly occurs. drink plenty of fluids.

tell your doctor if you have signs of bleeding, infection, heart problems, persistent diarrhea or any other side effects. i am living with cll and living proof that imbruvica is right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you. will: new study calls into question the effectiveness of masks in shing the spread of coronavirus. research from the university of louisville found that, quote, mask mandate and use are not associated with lower sars covid 2 spread. mandates induced greater mask compliance but did not predict lower growth rate. here to react is fox news medical contributor dr. marc siegel. dr. siegel, great to see you. i think there is two levels on which we have to look at this study. first of all when it comes to mandates. we talked about this for quite some time we know the difference between states that had mandates and mask mandates the difference
3:44 am
is minimal if at all. mandates, first, didn't seem to work, did they, doctor? >> absolutely, will, that's the place to start. that's why it's so important that all the remaining mandates be removed in the united states now, especially at a time when we're getting a much more vaccine compliance and over 62% of american adults have had athlete now one dose of the vaccine. if you have a vaccine, why do you need a mask? to your point, do you remember in the issue with the when north dakota and south dakota were both in trouble with big surges and north dakota put in place a statewide mask mandate. south dakota didn't. do you know what in the numbers dropped in both states almost identically. why would that be? well, you know, mask mandates, i believe, may have a counter productive effect. and this study from louisville seems to show it. are people really complying with it when it's on some statewide mandate? remember when the governor of texas was called a neanderthal? well, the numbers dropped in texas after the mask mandate
3:45 am
went down. do you know why you can't prove any of this, will, that mask mandates work? do you know why they don't work? because they are part of an overall strategy. what is working here not gathering, not being stupid, taking personal responsibility or the mask itself? i think masks have a value in very close quarters inside when you are actually coming face-to-face with covid-19, but walking down a street with a mask when no one is around you completely foolish and all that does is make people very nervous. when you are afraid, you take fewer precautions the mask mandates don't appear to have worked on the statewide level. this study was very carefully done. i looked at it very closely. they looked at cdc data from the entire pandemic from one state to the next and there was no big difference. will: you introduce an interesting concept, dr. siegel that's whether masks themselves work. that's what the study calls into question. you know, i think over the past couple of months american skepticism has been well earned. we have looked back over the
3:46 am
past year, dr. siegel, and started analyze. was all of the things we were told and all of the mandates we lived under worthwhile? was it backed up by science? now we turn our attention, i think at some point to the masks we have been wearing on our face for over a year. do they work? this study suggests the answer might be no. and i have started to read several studies, dr. siegel, that sara the aerosols of covid-19 are so small that all masks really do push it. push it out to the side. that they don't truly prevent the spread of covid. do we, should we continue to trust the idea that masks are protective barrier? >> well, will, i do think they have a value because of the study cdc did where they actually modeled this and looked two people face to face. and they showed some decrease. and that's -- if it's worn properly which almost no one does. i want to emphasize a point. we almost end one a religion, almost a almost based on science that's really weak.
3:47 am
we are not -- we are not talking about double blinded randomized trials here where one group wear as mask and the other group doesn't and we see which group is better. that's what dr. fauci calls real science. we don't have that we have population studies, occasional studies where we are looking down from 30,000 feet and trying to decide if there is a difference. that's how we ended up with lockdowns that didn't work. that's how we ended up with so much of the supposed science here that was premature and ill conceived. there is no proof that masks work. again, i think there is a value in close quarters but i don't have proof for that. i just have the scientific basis that should not have been extended in a punitive way across the population. will: to your point it's become religion and now it's well past time to look back with scientific data and say did all of this. did all of these mandates, did all of this religion actually work? dr. siegel, we'll continue to talk about that with you going forward. thank you. >> excessive costs to the public from this, absolutely, will.

3:50 am
storm systems to watch out for. we could see some scattered showers across the northeast. and i know, my friends, you know, are a little bit bummed out about that. but you know what? it's going to be dry on monday. how about that? will: all right. thank you so much, janice. we have got run. be back in just a moment here on "fox & friends" with more to get ahead and ready for memorial day weekend. essential expenses in retirement, so you can live the life you want. this is what an annuity can do. learn more at protectedincome.org. trelegy for copd. ♪ birds flyin' high you know how i feel ♪ ♪ breeze drifting on by you know how i feel ♪ [man: coughing]

advanced non-small cell lung cancer can change everything. but your first treatment could be a chemo-free combination of two immunotherapies that works differently. it could mean a chance to live longer. opdivo plus yervoy is for adults newly diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread, tests positive for pd-l1, and does not have an abnormal egfr or alk gene. it is the only fda-approved combination of two immunotherapies. opdivo plus yervoy equals a chance for more starry nights. more sparkly days. more sunny mornings. opdivo and yervoy can cause your immune system to harm healthy parts of your body during and after treatment. these problems can be severe and lead to death. see your doctor right away if you have a cough; chest pain; shortness of breath; irregular heartbeat; diarrhea; constipation; severe stomach pain, nausea or vomiting; dizziness; fainting; eye problems; extreme tiredness; changes in appetite, thirst or urine; rash; itching; confusion; memory problems; muscle pain or weakness; joint pain; flushing; or fever.

these are not all the possible side effects. problems can occur together and more often when opdivo is used with yervoy. tell your doctor about all medical conditions including immune or nervous system problems, if you've had or plan to have an organ or stem cell transplant, or received chest radiation. here's to a chance to live longer. ask your doctor about chemo-free opdivo plus yervoy. thank you to all those in our clinical trials. there is no end to the penalty we can impose on the communist party for unleashing this on the world and it's time to start doing that. >> today president biden will unveil $6 trillion budget. >> we have to start investing in ourselves again. >> monumental gamble he is essentially saying deficits do not matter. >> iran, guess me again. >> mocking lebron james now glird still trying to wrap my head around at this point. i'm the latest of cancel

4:04 am
today, a small but bipartisan group of house members are going to introduce legislation to create a commission similar to what we saw after 9/11 to investigate how this all began and also what can be done to prevent future health i have been ares. the country can respond better to those they think. officials telling my colleague jacqui heinrich the commission would be there to investigate the origin of the virus that states have failed to implement its finding 2026 would lose access to federal funds and in case they weren't actually falling through with the followg through with the commission's findings. they would eventually be able to sue china over the pandemic. meantime the white house is eager to find out how this all started. on thursday the u.s. intelligence community issued a statement admitting a lot remains unknown. they write the u.s. intelligence committee does not know exactly where, when, or how the covid virus was transmitted initially but has coalesced around two likely scenarios. either it emerged naturally from human contact with infected animals or it was a laboratory
4:05 am
accident. now, the president says he is hoping to get a report within about three months. guys, there is no guarantee that we'll know for 100 percent certainty how this virus began there interest a lot of people very eager to see what this report turns out to be. steve, carley and will, back to you guys for memorial day friday. steve: all right. thank you very much. apparently part of the never again international outbreak prevention act part of it, according to what jacqui heinrich has relayed to us, apparently the bill would establish what they are calling an international fentanyl surveillance system to collect data identify trends and provide monitoring on disease. international sentinel surveillance system. the going to get into virus tracking. will: you know, we have to. it's stunning we haven't already. given our full attention given into when and how this virus started. there are elements we already know. we know that china lied about whether or not human-to-human
4:06 am
transmission was taking place in late 2019, early 2020. and now we know that the w.h.o., and china have stood in the way of investigations to find the truth about how this global pandemic that killed, what, 3 million people made its way to the human population. we simply must find out. and then the harder question begins. what do we do about it? steve: big question is, there are a lot of people, there are 600,000 americans who are dead because of this. and wouldn't you love to be able to sue china and that is part of what they are suggesting here, but, you know, a couple of years ago, the whole idea of sovereign immunity essentially it would strip china of sovereign immunity. a couple of years ago, the united states congress passed a bill to strip, you know, saudi arabia of sovereign immunity so people could sue saudi arabia over 9/11. and do you know what? it went through the congress, but, barack obama, he vetoed it.
4:07 am
because he said, you know, we get rid of sovereign immunity for them, i can see in the future other countries doing contactually is the same thing to us and then next thing you know they -- other countries, chinese countries, let's say we strip them of sovereign immunity. chinese companies or rather u.s. companies in china stripped of it, hauled before their courts, u.s. servicemen hauled before courts and so he ultimately vetoed it and that would be the number one worry about if they did that to china regarding. carley: you just have to think back to how this pandemic started and how china acted in the beginning when they were cutting off domestic travel within their own country but allowing international flights to take place. and the implication there is that they knew what was going on. they knew that there was deadly virus that was spreading within their country but they didn't care enough to cut off international travel for other countries. steve: remember though they said we started it. it. will: still saying that.
4:08 am
carley: also the w.h.o. report co-sponsored by the chinese communist party said you can investigate any other source, any other origin except for the wuhan lab. okay, so maybe that's the one that we should focus on. so the big question is and a lot of lawmakers are asking this, what can we do about it? how do we hold this dictatorial regime responsible for this? take a listen to some ideas that took place yesterday. >> we should demand in congress if we're going to form a 9/11 style commission on anything, it should be about the origins of the coronavirus and the intelligence on the part of the chinese communist party, the democrat party, and joe biden cannot afford for a commission like that to occur. the democrat party and joe biden today are wholly owned by big tech and multinational corporations on wall street who profit from a cozy relationship with china. >> we could open up federal courts so chinese communist officials can be sued in federal
4:09 am
courts by the victims of the coronavirus pandemic just like we did for the 9/11 victims. there is really no end of the penalties that we can impose on the communist party for unleashing this plague on the world. and it's time to start doing that. steve: so, according to jacqui heinrich and our sources on capitol hill, those are two bills that are going to be introduced and they have bipartisan support. and you can understand the anger. the anger toward china is bipartisan. will: meanwhile, something that does not have bipartisan support joe biden's spending spree here is the cover of the "new york post" hog wild biden's massive pork budget spurs biggest deficit sips world war ii. it's so big and, of course, there's no world war taking place right now that joe biden felt the need to tell you he is a capitalist, but. watch this. >> now as our economy recovers there is going to be some bumps in the road we know that of course there will be. we must restore the connection between the success of our economy and the people who produced that success.
4:10 am
hardworking americans. y'all remember it used to be the case in this country when you were part of generating success of a company, you got to share in the benefits. that's long since gone. now i'm a capitalist. productivity has grown four times faster than pay has grown. understand the risk and challenges business owners face. i just think after decades of workers getting the raw deal it's time they're given the fair shake. congress should raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. steve: isn't that interesting he was off the prompter he ad-libbed by the way i'm a capitalist. why we do that? could it possibly be remember yesterday we told you about a new poll that showed about half the country thinks that joe biden turned out to be way too liberal. he is not the same joe biden we were sold on the campaign trail where is he a moderate and going to work with congress blah blah blah. has that happened? absolutely not. carley: sounds like he is trying
4:11 am
to convince himself is he capitalist. try to break down the numbers $6 trillion proposal add $1.8 trillion to the federal deficit despite, despite tax increases and corporations and higher earners. so the plan is going to combine the $2.3 trillion american jobs plan and the $1.8 trillion families plan. and then add more spending on top of that. charles payne was on our show a little bit earlier he said that biden is saying deficit do not matter. listen. >> it is a mop mental gamble. it's not even a gamble. he is essentially saying deficits do not matter. we're enjoying a period where interest rates are extraordinarily low. but here's the thing. they can't get any lower. right? at some point, in fact, one of the main stories in the stock market this year has been maybe that it's time for interest rate to start going higher. so, essentially we are talking about maybe eventually having to spend a trillion dollars a year,
4:12 am
maybe more especially when you add in the biden deficits. the administration admits that this will not move the g.d.p. needle. in fact, it will be mediocre growth for as long as the eyes can see. steve: it is not expected that there are going to be any new policies per se, expensive things unveiled. but one curious thing is he is expected to call for a public option when it comes to healthcare and a lower the medicare age from its current 65 to 60. let's see where that goes. will: meanwhile, if you will remember back to the tragic incident of the police-involved shooting of makia bryant. she was wielding a knife about to apparently stick it into another young lady. she was law enforcement intervened she was shot and killed. remember after that lebron james nba star jumped in and criticized policing. seemed to suggest he had the insight on when and how police should be conducting their business in these very critical moments. well, in that time frame after
4:13 am
lebron james an idaho deputy marshall nate sylvester he mocked lebron james and the idea that police should be listening to lebron and how they should be policing. in fact he made a viral tiktok video where he pretended to call lebron in one of these viral moments. remember this? >> i have arrived domestic disturbance will you have lebron call me. excuse me sir, could you put the knife down please, sir. no, stop -- hold on. hold on it's lebron. lebron, hey, yeah, it's me again, listen, i'm out here at this disturbance call and there is a guy trying to stab another guy with a knife. why does that matter? >> they are both black. so you don't care with a black person kills another black person but you do care if a white cop kills a black person even if he is doing to save the life of another black person? it doesn't make a whole lot of sense but then yet again you are really good at basketball so i guess i will take your word for
4:14 am
it. will: after that video went viral some months have passed and deputy nate sylvester has been fired by the idaho. steve: right because they said according to the mayor continued policy violations. i don't think they like. carley: what policy? well, yeah, that's what they said. it wasn't about the content of his videos but he repeatedly broke a policy. but theyner said what policy it was. was it the social media policy? steve: could be and because he was in uniform. don't know for sure. it's a little vegas. he was on with hannity last night and had this to say about being canceled. >> i'm the latest target of cancel culture, sean, that's all it is. none of my other videos that, you know, that depicted me in my uniform or that involved body camera footage, none of those mattered. they didn't care about those. they knew they existed but they didn't matter it wasn't until my lebron james tiktok surfaced and
4:15 am
struck a political nerve that they started to pay attention and complain about it and come up with forms of discipline. '. steve: so he is out of work. carley: do you know what would be really cool if lebron james stepped up and said, listen, i made mistakes on social media, too. don't fire this man. that would be a great thing to do. i think he would get a lot of support. the reason this video went viral is because some people agreed with what he had to say what this police officer was saying. will: content of what he had to say is 100 percent defensible. i would like to know the policy and exactly what it is that he violated. we know you can't do whatever you want while on the job. colin kaepernick wanted to protest during while in uniform touring an nfl game. the argue. was you are on the job. you don't -- your first amendment does not extend to every aspect of your job. so i would like to know what is the policy of the idaho police department had? as to the content of what this officer was saying? he is 100 percent on point. steve: it could have been it was a situation they tolerated it
4:16 am
they were okay with it because they thought the other ones were funny, but this one and i haven't seen any of the others, but apparently he was quite prolific in the tiktok department. this one gathered so much heat. they said, do you know what? too much heat out of the kitchen. carley: something tells me is he going to be able to get another job at another police department that's a little bit more sympathetic. we will have to wait and see. steve: 7:16 here in the east and ashley strohmier is with us today with the duty of headline reading. ashley: good morning, guys. we are going to start with this. an iowa jury begins their second day of deliberations in the case against an illegal immigrant accused of killing mollie tibbetts. in the closing argue manies the defense argued the quote sloppy investigation targeting christian rivera. the prosecution zeroed in on rivera's shocking testimony blaming two mystery men for the murder. >> there weren't two other guys. that's a figment of his

♪ will: joe biden is reopening the investigation into the origins of covid-19. he has ordered a 90 day review to examine if the virus came from a wuhan lab. but the chinese communist party they are slamming the white house over the probe saying the u.s., quote: does not care about facts and truth, nor is it interested in the serious scientific origin-tracing. some people in the united states claim they want the truth but their real intention is political manipulation. here to react is fox news strategic analyst and retired four star.
4:24 am
>> jenna: jack keane. thank you so much, general keane. i could point out that the language that the chinese communist party is using is the same stuff we heard from the media and the left for a better part of the year. the more important observation and question is, general, how big of a line in the sand is this? we need the truth. we tonight just want the truth. we need it. and the chinese desperately need the truth not to come out. this puts us at serious loggerheads with the chinese. does it not? >> oh, yeah, most definitely. and clearly right from the outset there was plenty of evidence initially general evidence and now and then circumstantial evidence and now as we understand and more intelligence has been disclosed, actually much more specific evidence that the origin came from the wuhan lab. listen, it's president xi and his cohorts had proof that was natural causes for the origin of this virus, they would be
4:25 am
running full speed to the international press to present that evidence. and they never have. what they have suggest as farfetched is that the united states military brought there from when they had their military gains in wuhan city back in the fall prior to the outbreak of the code and they are still accusing the army research lab in fort dietrich as being the origin. why? because they have no evidence whatsoever that this is natural causes that took place in wuhan city; therefore, it came out of that laboratory and that's what they are protecting. listen, will, right after those incidents, as now being reported, people being hospitalized, president xi put a general in charge of the wuhan lab where civilian scientist was before and surrounded it with chinese military troops. what was going on that he was trying to protect so much? so the evidence is arriving. and here is ther dark secret here. president xi has committed
4:26 am
criminal behavior in covering this up. and the evidence is getting more compelling to that fact. if the international community comes together and accuses xi of criminal behavior and becomes an international pariah that puts extra pressure on the bureau standing by president xi whether he can actually continue in power. that is why china will pull out all the stops, massive disinformation campaign as we know and we have seen to deflect away from the regime itself. and that is they will continue to push back on that. they will give us nothing in terms of help to get to the truth. will: general keane, that's fascinating. this particular issue what you are suggesting is could potentially, potentially lead to regime change within china. does this particular issue, i mean, it's obviously incredibly important to the international community and incredibly important to the powers within china. does it have the potential to
4:27 am
manifest in -- i mean, i don't want to use a more fuss language here but kinetic problems? does this have the potential to are. >> certainly recklessness and fear at times trigger conflict. i don't think so. i think the powers to be in china certainly what they are trying to solve is an international public relations problem that they have of a huge scale because the entire world was impacted by something that they did. but i don't believe it would lead to conflict. will: okay, really quickly with you general this morning i want to ask you about this. it's been a decade sinces embassy burning in benghazi. the u.s. now is quietly returning to libya. is this the time? is this wise, general? >> well, i think our intelligence services can best answer that but here is some of the evidence that's taking place that indicates it may be the right move. since october, we have had a
4:28 am
cease-fire and there has been a civil war there for literally 10 years. and in march, quite surprisingly, a unity government representing all of the major parties has been put together with an upcoming election in december. the european union is putting in place a diplomatic post. so, i think what is happening here is we have to make certain security situation is right. i mean, we were driven out of there by the civil war in 2014. but, the reality is that diplomatic outposts, their economy forces in the united states. they are our eyes and ears a couple hundred people in a foreign country understanding what is taking place there, reporting back to our government. but, also, trying to influence things in that country on behalf of the united states. what we want is stability in that country. and in the middle east for sure. and russia came dangerously close to taking over libya when they backed general haftar and
4:29 am
he was about to topple the u.n. backed government when turkey intervened. obviously there are other forces at play. russia's mercenary forces are still in libya. that's one of the concerns the american government will have. i think we'll make the right decision based on what the security situation is in the country. whether that's viable, we should definitely have an outpost there for the united states right in that cull doctrine of the middle east. will: general jack keane great to talk to you on this friday before memorial day. thank you so much. >> great talking to you, will. will: still ahead, maine lawmakers confronted after refusing to wear masks in the capitol. house speaker stripped those republicans of their committee assignments. the lawmaker who released that video joins me next. ♪ ying freshly squeezed orange juice. now no fruit is forbidden. nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts

all right, ashley, thank you. are meanwhile, let's talk about the state of maine's mask mandate was lifted this week. but a state house lawmaker released a video of herself and her fellow republicans being confronted over their refusal to wear masks in the capitol after they lifted the mandate. steve: well, as a result, those seven republicans have been stripped of their committee assignments and they were replaced on the committees with democrats. laura libby released that video she was one of the people there and she joins us now. laurel, good morning to you. >> good morning, thanks for having me. steve: you know, i'm just a little mixed up because the democratic governor of your state, made it very clear, no
4:36 am
more mask mandate for everybody in the state excepted children age 5 or older in school or day care. the state house is not a day care per se; however, they are treating you like kids. >> yeah. exactly, steve. and more than that, maine people have been waiting to get back into their state house which has been closed over 14 months. and now to be told that they don't have to wear a mask anywhere else in the state but that to come into their people's house they have to wear a mask, that just doesn't make any sense. steve: we got a statement from the speaker of the house ryan fecko who is a democrat we have hundreds of nonpartisan workers in the building who are still required to wear masks in the workplace. it's the least lawmakers can do to wear their mask in crowded indoor common spaces for a few more weeks. and i don't get the disconnect between the speaker and the governor. both democrats. governor says you don't have to
4:37 am
wear them. this guy says you do and you didn't so he stripped you of your committee assignment. that is outrageous. >> it is. it is outrageous. and to replace us with democrats makes it clear that it's a political game. and it's fun i couldn't bring up the nonpartisan staff. what i noticed before the democrats decided to implement this rule in the state house, i was there. i have been there working since january in my committee room. even though we have been meeting via zoom. and when i was talking around the state house after governor mills put in her executive order that was lift the mask mandate and before the legislative council met, many people were not wearing masks so it was really an interesting thing. i'm hearing it's because of the nonpartisan staff but a couple of those days walking around the state house you could see that people were getting really casual with their mask use. with the governor's executive
4:38 am
order presumed to be the thing we were going to be following. steve: you know, it's interesting. because there are echos of what speaker nancy pelosi, a democrat, is doing as well. she is mandating that people wear masks in the house chambers. meanwhile, across the capitol in the senate you don't have. to say and the governor of your state said you don't have to wear it. you're following the science, i'm sure a lot of the lawmakers have been vaccinated. ultimately though, you could probably settle this in court. >> yeah. quite possibly. and you bring up, you know, following the science. that's what we have been doing for 14 months. and, in fact, the democrats are so committed to governor mills making all the covid rules that we're still under an emergency declaration here in maine. she is still in charge of every other covid decision except this one that they have decided to make their own rules about. and it probably is going to have to get decided in court. it is an ongoing drama, it
4:39 am
seems, and the speaker doubled down yesterday saying that he is not going to follow the science. is he going to follow his rules. steve: well, it is curious. by the time a court rules the damage will have been done because your legislative period is just a certain length of time and it's a crazy story. that's why we brought you on. state representative laurel libby joining us today from maine. good luck, thanks for the update. >> thank you very much. steve: crazy. all right. meanwhile, straight ahead on this friday. one teacher caught on zoom calling for her fellow teachers to be fired for not teaching kids race-related curriculum like the critical race theory. we will play the tape and get reaction from pete hegseth. i have a feeling he is going to be steamed. pete is coming up next. ♪

crowd and they say out loud what is true. what is true is that the national education association aft these teachers in these school districts are incentivized through the curriculum they are taught at teachers colleges to believe that social emotional learning which is code for critical race theory is the future. anything else is the past. and you know, guys, on fox nation i spent the last couple of months working on a documentary series that's going to come out when school starts next year in september. it doesn't even have a title yet. but it's effectively the 100 year progressive takeover of education. take the national educators association for example it used to be a conservative organization. it had prayer and scripture in what it pushed out. but the progressives have chipped away decade after decade after decade at anything that wreaks of western sizzles, of the bible, anything that used to be in our classrooms and they have inserted instead views like this. this is just the latest example. but it's the end of the pipeline
4:46 am
of how they educate teachers. so even if you control the school board and you want to reject this, maybe you can temporarily. but the teachers unions and the teaching colleges are teaching these theories to teachers coming into the classroom and then the social pressure amongst other educators who are also indoctrinateside to teach the same critical race theory 1619 view. this is just the tip of an iceberg of 100 year project to do this. it's really scary and we have got to be fighting back now with real information and the truth. carley: that's right. the biden administration is pushing critical race theory but then you have other states that are saying we're not going to do it. we're not going to do critical race theory at all. so the fight is really on for the future of our children. in the meantime, you have a new special out called modern warriors reflections. it's going to be available today on fox nation. so tell us a little bit about that. >> that's right. this is one of my favorite weekends to host, memorial day to memorialize to remember, to reflect. that's what this modern warriors

really a social service safety net, so when we've got all these illegals coming through the border, i mean, we've got to pay for them for their healthcare, for their education, for housing, for food, and that's what this is. we are literally putting our kids and our grandchildren into debt for generations, and you know, right now on the heels of inflation, and now he wants to raise taxes, it's not a good time to do this. republicans are in total opposition. even joe manchin indicates that he's very uncomfortable with this , but you know, that's what a democrat thinks. if you got a problem, make government bigger and just spend more money on it and it'll go away, but it won't, and that's the problem. will: judge you bring up we've incentivized people to stay-at-home. we've incentivized people not to return to work. i remember when we've gone through various recessions in this economy throughout our history we've had conversations about how long unemployment benefits should last, and we've talked about how long does someone, how long does it take for someone to become permanent ly unemployed? essentially, a culture set, a
5:06 am
habit sets in. jamie dimon, the ceo of jpmorgan chase, he was talking about this recently at a house financial services committee. he thinks people are just at this point, reluctant to get back to work. listen to this. >> the reasons are many-fold including some of the unemployment insurance, including the fact that our schools haven't reopened up, and including the fact that people actually have a lot of money and they don't particularly feel like going back to work. will: judge, what's your reaction, people don't feel like going back to work. >> well, you know what? i totally agree with what he's saying. look, i have a friend who owns a small business, many friends who own small businesses, and they say to me, jeanine, we can't get people to come back to work. they are basically saying i make more money not working, and once in a while i'll do a home visit and make cash or do something under the table. this is a nightmare. this is a prelude to socialism. what they're trying to do is get people so comfortable that they don't go back to work, and unfortunately, you know, one of the things that the federal
5:07 am
government and the state governments have to figure out is if you are not going back to work, but your old job has offer ed you a job, why should your old job be able to report to the federal government, look, i offered joe a job. he won't come back. at that point, you know, maybe the government has got to like take some responsibility if you're handing out the money maybe you out to pull it back, because the guys refusing to go back to work. well the rest of us are working 24/7 to try to keep up with our bills and the impending taxes. >> yeah, judge, this week, we learned from the new york post that when biden was vice president, he had a dinner with hunter biden and some of his business associates. this is coming from that infamous laptop of hunter biden 's and there's been some discussion about why the media isn't more focused on this story , so why do you think they should be? why does hunter biden's business
5:08 am
dealings as they relate to vice president biden, when biden was not a president or vice president, why does it matter? >> well it matters, because it's all about pay-to-play. it's all about hunter biden whose had a lot of problems providing access in the united states to people in russia, to people in china, i mean, china, he comes out of there with his father after flying over there on air force ii and then denying joe biden lied to the american people over and over again. he told us that he never talked to his brother. he never talked to his son about their businesses, and yet, now, we have photographs of them. now, we have that laptop, and by the way, they never denied the authenticity of that laptop, and so now, you know, big tech comes in along with the media to say we're not going to let the american people hear about this. can you imagine if it were trump that went over there and then
5:09 am
they brought back 1.5 billion from china or $3 million from the widow of the russian mayor, i mean, this kind of foreign money that is penetrating the united states government at a time when we should be at odds with china, i mean, all of us are in this pandemic and suffer ing from it, now 15 months because of something that came from china. i don't think that anyone can disagree with that, and china won't give us access. china is controlling the world health organization, and the bidens are over there, you know, hunter for sure, collecting cash and bringing it home, and then we hear about reports on the fbi that there was $100,000 to biden's grandchildren, you know, so that they could do work with hunter biden. steve: yeah, who knew you could do that. all right, i'm sure you're going to be talking about this and so much more this weekend. who you got lined up for the big show on saturday night? >> well we got rand paul, dr.
5:10 am
marc siegel, byron donalds, tom european union larren, lara trump and the issue is how long is your vaccine good for , and number two, what about this vaccine? was it created intentionally to infect humans? it didn't go from animal-to- human. they were making it up so they could infect humans. why, why was this being done and why can't we get to the bottom of it? it's all on "justice" on saturday night. steve: we will be tube-side. judge have a great weekend thank you for joining us. >> you too! goodbye. will: let's go to ashley with more headlines for us this morning. >> we do we'll start with this two suspects have been arrested in connection with murder of an army colonel and his veteran wife in virginia. police identified the suspects as ronnie marshall and deangelo strand. edward and brendon mcdone yell were gunned down in their front lawn.
5:11 am
the suspects worked with a relative of the couple and believe the motive stems from a feud that was at the home on monday. >> a massive wildfire forces an entire town to evacuate. the fire started yesterday in baghdad, arizona and burned about 150-acres and destroyed 13 homes in the small mining town. officials say 25% of the fire is contained, but dry grass keeps fueling those flames. the cause is under investigation but early reports say it may have been started by a rogue construction crew. >> and take a look at this , newly-released radar footage reportedly shows several ufo's swarming a navy ship. filmmaker claims the video was filmed by the crew and the ships combat information center back in 2019 and he says the footage shows ufo's harassing the uss omaha off california's coast and the department of department of defense has not commented on the authenticity of the video. >> costco fans rejoy, food courts and free food samples are

>> he said you know, okay, let's look at this both sources of evidence. natural they call it they came out of nature or did it come out of a lab, and the data disproportionately stacked up as we investigated that it was coming out of a lab or some supernatural source. steve: well that was former state department official david asher, raising questions over the origin of covid-19 as congress is demanding answers as house members plan to
5:18 am
introduce two bipartisan bills today to create a 9/11-style commission to get to find out how the pandemic started, and what he was talking about in that sound bite, and this is something we've been talking about all week long, is was it a lab leak that unleashed the coronavirus on the world? it kind of looks like it. there's a lot of circumstantial evidence and what he said is when they were investigating it for the state department, there was no evidence that it had jumped from animals to humans which leaves the lab leak. will: of course that investigation was shutdown by the biden administration. this particular news story, this news cycle, this issue, has exposed, has made vulnerable, so many institutions that americans would have previously given blind faith to. the cdc, dr. anthony fauci, the world health organization, your mainstream media industrial complex 90% of what told you looking into the origins of
5:19 am
covid-19 was not just a conspiracy but a racist conspiracy that undermines the pursuit of the truth. masks off, everyone has been exposed it's time to pursue the truth no matter what china's reaction might be. >> that's right and dr. fauci says that nih funding was not used for gain of function research at this wuhan lab and he's making that point because they gave some money to this wuhan lab. steve: $600,000. >> and gain of function is something where you take a virus and make it more deadly. well that in interview with david asher was really insightful yesterday and he said that from his research, that china felt like the nih was supporting gain of function research, so that is sort of their interpretation of events, according to david asher. another thing, steve, he said that this virus was radically unnatural, and he had somebody do some calculations and he said that that person found that it being found in nature, it was a 1 in 13 million chance and then
5:20 am
they upped it to 1 in 13 billion steve: oh, man oh, man joe biden said yesterday they will release the findings of the intel community after the 90 day review, unless there's something he's unaware of. so if it's something i can tell you i'm going to tell you but if it's a secret i won't tell you. will: a little bit of a big caveat there. memorial day weekend is upon us, and beachside businesses are hoping for a stellar kickoff to the summer season. steve: lydia hu joins us live from asbury park, new jersey with more, and that's the home of bruce springsteen back in the day, lidia? reporter: good morning, there, guys. yeah, it's a really big day here on the jersey shore, because today, the state is dropping that indoor mask mandate for fully vaccinated individuals and you know, businesses around here are really hoping that's going to bring the extra boost to the local economy, just ahead of the memorial day weekend, and ahead of an exciting summer here on the jersey shore. we're at a restaurant called " toast" and we're joined

5:27 am
director. reporter: before making blockbusters, he grew up near silicon valley where his family has owned a chinese restaurant for over 50 years. >> i would come home from school and i would go straight to the restaurant, do my homework by the bar. reporter: even at a young age, c hu was drawn to the creativity of film. >> i get thrown all the stuff to carry around on a vacation, and i was in charge of the camera so i started shooting our family on these vacations. reporter: it took some convinc ing for chu's parents to believe he could actually make a living behind the camera. >> i said this is something i love. you always told me america is the greatest place. if you love what you do and work hard, you can do anything. reporter: hollywood came calling after a lucky break in film school. >> i made a couple short films that got attention and they were all musicals, and one of them, steven spielberg saw, and i don't know how he saw it. reporter: but success was an instant for chu. he made big budget action movies
5:28 am
but not all his films were hits. >> i went through other periods in my life and my career that were a lot harder. i made a movie just four or five years ago that i think was one of the lowest opening movies of all-time. reporter: disappointment didn't stop him from taking risks on the big screen. directing the first hollywood film featuring an entirely asian cast for the first time in 25 years. now were you surprised by the success of crazy rich asians >> was definitely not a guarantee when we started that movie but i did not understand that once we showed it, the amount of emotions that would come out of people in the audience. reporter: but the global box office success of crazy rich asians, chu believes the door is opening for more roles and opportunities for asian talent. what about type-casting in hollywood? do you think with crazy rich asians that's ending so you can be the leading man you don't have to know kung fu? >> i don't know if it's ended. i wouldn't say it's that clear cut yet but i do think there's
5:29 am
an awareness. reporter: critics have described his style of storytelling as a celebration of culture. his next film "in the heights" opens in june with a mostly latin cast. >> he's managed to in fuse his films with something that's so authentic, and yet, is just embraced by virtually everyone. reporter: but for hollywood to change, chu thinks you have to empower people to think beyond limits. >> i need to dream bigger, not just for myself, but i need to dream bigger to show that the next group that comes, that you're allowed to dream that big , that you're allowed to be a mogul, you're allowed to be a walt disney, and allowed to be all these things that we already have i cons for , but in your image. reporter: so his advice for those that have dreams to direct one day, he says write it down. take the first steps if you're even thinking about making a movie. he says most of the time stories don't get told, because that first step isn't even taken, and he says, of course stay naive. >> that is such great advice. susan the first time i saw crazy

5:35 am
i think its given us a lot of freedom but i think there's a real potential for government overreach, and i don't believe anyone should be forced to take the vaccine. it should be your personal choice. you should make the choice, based on your health, based on the decisions you want, and so i've introduced this week legislation that would number one, prohibit any federal vaccine passport, prohibit the biden administration from doing anything to mandate vaccines, but it also prohibits discrimination employment. we're seeing some places where employers are saying if you're not vaccinated, you're fired. that ought to be illegal. your health decisions are yours to make, and it shouldn't be your boss, it shouldn't be the government, it shouldn't be anyone else forcing you to make those decisions. steve: senator we've heard from joe biden things like we're not going to require a vaccine passport at this point. is this something that could actually wind up passing with bipartisan support? >> you know, i hope so, and we'll see. i mean, this is a very divided
5:36 am
congress, so bipartisan support is illusive these days, but joe biden has said the federal government is not going to require a vaccine passport, and so if he believes that, if democrats believe that, they ought to be able to support this bill. this bill builds on existing civil rights laws, and it simply adds your health decision of whether or not to get this vaccine to the protected classes that you cannot be discriminated against. it also ensures privacy. it ensures that your medical privacy is protected, that you can't be forced to disclose information against your will. steve: all right, and over in the house today, it sounds like bipartisan groups are going to introduce one piece of legislation that could actually allow americans to sue china over the coronavirus. any chance that's going to get traction in the senate? >> you know, at least so far, senate democrats have been very reluctant to hold china to
5:37 am
account for its role in the spread of covid-19. we know the chinese government was directly culpable for the cover up for silencing the initial outbreak, you look at the heroic chinese whistleblowers, doctors, journalists, who at the very beginning of this pandemic spoke out, and the chinese government arrested them. they disappeared them. they silenced them, and that played a major role in the spread of this pandemic globally. we now are seeing more and more people acknowledging what i have been saying for over a year, that the preponderance of the evidence suggests that this virus escaped, likely accidentally, from a chinese government lab in wuhan. when i began saying this back in march and april of last year, you know, i do a podcast every week called "verdict with ted cruz" and we did multiple podcasts walking through the evidence. you know, wuhan, where this outbreak began, there are not one but two different
5:38 am
chinese government virology labs both of them studied not just viruses but they studied coronaviruses. not just coronavirus, but coronaviruses from bats. one of them the wuhan institute of virology is 400-yards away from the wet market where the first outbreak occurred. i think the most natural conclusion, which the chinese government does not want anyone to know the facts of, is that the virus escaped accidentally from that chinese government lab and at least so far, the biden administration has been unwilling to dig in and force a real and objective investigation into the facts. steve: all right, let's see what they do. senator thank you very much for joining us on this friday. >> thank you. steve: will? will: thanks so much, steve. well memorial day approaches, the tunnel to towers foundation shows their appreciation for those who have served. dedicating their 75th mortgage- free smart home to u.s. marine sergeant aaron alonz o who lost both of his legs into 14 after stepping
