arthel: dr. anthony fauci connected to join jill widen in a visit to a vaccination clinic at a harlem church in new york city today, it comes amid growing questions about his e-mails during the pandemic. hello, everyone. welcome to fox news live. i'm arthel neville. eric shawn will join us in a moment. on friday, president biden said that he is very confident in dr. fauci, despite the release of hundreds of pages of e-mails which are heavily redacted that critics say show he tried to
9:01 am
downplay the wuhan lab theory, lab break theory. let's go to alex hogan, live in harlem, where the doctor and first lady will be attending their event. alex. >> reporter: hi, arthel. first lady dr. jill biden and dr. anthony fauci will be here at this vaccination site just later today. dr. fauci is actually from new york. he's been under high scrutiny recently after an e-mail dump of e-mails that were leaked from january to june of 2020. one e-mail about the origin of the virus, infectious disease expert wrote that some of the features potentially look engineered. conservatives have called this a smoking gun of a coverup, especially when mentioning the u.s. grants to that chinese research lab. >> we know, chris, that dr. fauci through his government agency funded at least $800,000 of government taxpayer money to
9:02 am
the wuhan laboratory. so the question now with all the e-mails coming out from dr. fauci is what did know and when did know it. >> reporter: others argue you that it doesn't actually prove anything. the scientist himself responding as i said many times, we've seriously considered a lab leak possibility. however, significant new data, extensive analysis and many discussions led to the conclusions in our paper. what the e-mails show is a clear example of the scientific process. when asked this week about his thoughts on dr. fauci, president joe biden answering that he is quite confident in him. dr. fauci and dr. jill biden will be here at the vaccination site which does offer the pfizer vaccine for those as young as the age of 12, this as the cdc is encouraging more parents to get their children vaccinationed and dr. fauci said this week that he is hopeful that children under the age of 12 will be able to be vaccinated by this thanksgiving. arthel. arthel: alex hogan live in
9:03 am
harlem. thank you. meanwhile, the migrant crisis at the southern border continues, testing the biden administration as vice president kamala harris is taking her first foreign trip to guatemala and mexico, looking to forge a partnership with the two nations and address the root cause of migration. let's go to aishah hasnie live on the border in la jolla, texas. >> reporter: hi, arthel. i'm standing in a very popular crossing point in la jolla. behind me, you can see about 2 dozen migrants that are waiting now to be processed. but just in the last five minutes, border patrol agents gathered a couple more families and to my right they brought them over here to now be loaded onto busses. we're going to try not to show as many face as possible because there are several children here as well. and some babies are crying and obviously it's about 90 degrees out here so this has been very
9:04 am
strenuous for them. this will be the focus on vice president kamala harris' first foreign trip today, departing joint base andrews this afternoon for guatemala. very few details have been released about her schedule so far today. we do know she'll be holding a bilateral meeting with the guatemalan president at some point during her visit. she is in charge of tackling what the administration continues to describe as the root causes of migration which include storm damage, drought, food shortages, the administration is pledging more than $300 million for these triangle countries. harris as you know, a former prosecutor, is also expected to discuss violence and corruption in these countries. i spoke to a man this week from el salvador who came here with his wife who is from honduras. they fled with their 1-year-old baby because he says the corruption back home is out of control. >> we have some problems there in our countries. we need to fix it.
9:05 am
but that's -- this is not the moment, because we have big problems and that's why we take the decision to come here. >> reporter: yeah, that man told me that he was coming to america no matter what. so what's happening out here live in la jolla now is that the border patrol agents are going to load these folks onto that bus and then take them to the closest processing center which i believe is the donna facility. the donna processing center. by the way, after guatemala, vice president harris is expected to visit mexico on this three-day swing tour. arthel. arthel: lots of activity there, aishah. aishah hasnie on the border in la jolla, texas. thank you. eric. eric: arthel, in new york city police officers there facing off at protesters in greenwich village last night. despite the mayor's new 10:00
9:06 am
p.m. curfew, he put the curfew into place to try to cut down on disorderly conduct on a city that has seen a spike in crime with calls to cut the police department and cut the budget. curtis sliwa is calling on re-funding the police. some protesters threw rocks at cops. they had to use pepper spray to control the crowd. lauren blanchard has more. >> reporter: a violent night after the 10:00 p.m. curfew went into effect, the new york police department said 23 arrests were made. many for disorderly conduct. eight officers also sustained minor injuries with those who refused to leave. the city put in place weekend curfews to try to cut down on drugs and illegal activities. it's not just the park. throughout new york city, crime is increasing.
9:07 am
this may, crime rose by 22% compared to may last year. there was a 73% increase in shootings. hate crimes also skyrocketing, a 335% increase against the asian community, other minority groups have been heavily targeted as well. the spike in crime is nothing new to leaders, new york governor andrew cuomo acknowledged last month crime is hurting the city's bounceback. >> we have a major crime problem in new york city. everything we just talked about with the economy coming back, you know what the first step is? people have to feel safe. >> reporter: what's happening in the big apple also in other cities. so much so, the white house is weighing in. the press secretary says the president wants to put funding toward the issue in his infrastructure plan. >> the rise in violent crime, compared to this time last year, homicide's up 113% in
9:08 am
minneapolis, up 38% in philly, up 32% in chicago. the white house's he poe of significance on this is that -- position on this is that is mostly because of guns. >> we believe there needs to be funding, we believe we need help from the federal government, ensure police have the assistance they need? saturday night, a 10-year-old boy shot dead in queens, nypd said they're combing through video right now in an effort to find a suspect and a reason for another senseless shooting. eric. eric: in chicago, four people have been killed, eight shot last night overnight in the windy city. it's across the country. lauren, thank you. arthel: california officials are promising to fight back after a federal judge in san diego overturned the state's three decades old ban on assault weapons. governor gavin newsom calls the decision a direct threat to public safety. the judge says the ban violated
9:09 am
the constitution's second amendment. christina coleman live in los angeles with details. >> reporter: the judge overturned the state's long-time ban on assault weapons friday night, saying prohibiting such firearms was a felled experiment. he said like the swiss army knife, the ar-15 rifle is a perfect combination of defense weapon and it's good for home and battle. governor gavin newsom condemned the decision. he said, quote, the fact that this judge compared the ar-15, a weapon of war that's used on the battlefield to a swiss army knife completely undermines the credibility of this decision and is a slap in the face to the families who have lost loved ones to the weapon. we're not backing down and we'll continue to push for common sense gun laws that will save lives. others pushing for gun reform agree.
9:10 am
>> the statistics, 40,000 people killed every year, which is totally outrageous. and the more we compare ourselves with other countries, industrialized countries, they don't have this problem. >> reporter: gun rights advocates disagree with governor gavin newsom including a california gun rights activist who was on "fox & friends" this morning. take a listen. >> i think he's completely disregarding the fact that the ar-15 is used defensively all across the country and it is one of the most ergonomic and effective firearms to use for self-defense, especially for individuals who are smaller in nature, such as myself, for women and for mothers across the country. this is absolutely one of the best tools to use for self-defense. >> reporter: the judge's decision stems from a lawsuit filed against the state in 2019
9:11 am
by gun rights advocates. even though the judge issued a permanent injunction against enforcement of this ban on assault rifles, he granted a 30 day stay of the ruling which will give the state attorney time to appeal his decision. arthel. arthel: christina coal lain, live in -- coleman, live in los angeles. thank you very much. eric. eric: we've got a fox news royal baby alert. prince harry and meghan, they're parents again. welcoming their second baby we're told, a daughter named lilibet diana. the first name a tribute to the queen, diana a tribute to harry's mom, the late princess diana. the baby was born friday at santa barbara college hospital in california where the couple live. we're told lilly weighed in at 7 pounds 11-ounces following her brother, 2-year-old archie. of course, the kim making a lot

>> i think it's the wrong piece of legislation to bring our country together and unite our country. i'm not supporting that because i think it would divide us further. i don't want to be in a country that's divided further than i'm in right now. i love my country. i think my democrat and republican colleagues feel the same. arthel: that's joe manchin telling fox news sunday that he will not support the democrats' election reform bill, known as the john lewis voting rights amenment, send tore manchin saying it will further divisions. james clyburn calling on manchin to support a senate vote on the
9:17 am
measure. take a listen. >> please, mr. manchin, vote to limit debate in congress so we can have an up and down vote on whether or not we are going to have a continuation of voting rights in this country. arthel: the house passed the bill in march with no republican support. republicans say the bill is a partisan power grab, aimed at a federalizing u.s. elections. democrats say it restricts voting rights. eric. eric: arthel, u.s. energy secretary jennifer granholm with an alarming warning, she sounds the alarm on the rise of ransomware attacks on our countries, targeting a major gas pipeline and meat packing giant among others in recent weeks. >> do you think adversaries of the united states have the capability right now to shut down the power grid?
9:18 am
>> yeah, they do. i mean, i think that there are very maligned actors who are trying even as we speak, there are thousands of attacks on all aspects of the energy sector and the private sector generally. i mean, the meat plant for example. it's happening all the time. eric: among those adversaries, russia. russia hackers, they are blamed for many of those attacks that now comes ahead of president biden's big face-to-face meeting with his russian counter part, vladimir putin. that's going to happen 10 days from now in geneva. the president is expected to raise the issues of the attacks, so what will he say to putin? more importantly, will vladimir listen? dan hoffman is with us now, fox news contributor, former station chief who served in moscow, iraq and pakistan. dan, you know moscow well, you know putin well. first, do the russian hackers, do they really have the ability to take out our electric grid? i mean, can you putin, does he
9:19 am
have the power to turn off our lights? >> our electric grid has been in russia's and iran's and china's and other of nefarious state actors in their crosshairs for decades. there's no question that vladimir putin through his intelligence services has great capability and through the criminal hacking groups which enjoy sanctuary and we're trying to defend ourselves. it's an important issue for the president, for president biden to raise at the summit. vladimir putin is a kgb guy. he'll admit nothing and deny everything and probably make counter accusations about our efforts to destabilize russia in cyberspace. eric: what actions should the president take? what do you think we're going to do about it? >> i think it's important for president biden to put you patin notice and emphasize this is not unlike the taliban giving sanctuary before 9/11. this is part of the critical
9:20 am
infrastructure. if you target our electrical grid, you're talking about the entire economy. we need to emphasize to putin that we're prepared to find, fix and disrupt those criminal hacking groups if russia doesn't do something to stop it and i certainly don't expect putin to do that. it's been emphasized, including by the deputy national security advisor for cyber, we need to work with the private sector so they can strengthen, harden the defenses. ransomware happens when an unsuspecting employee clicks on malware which includes a trojan horse, that allows a nefarious hacking group to penetrate another operating system. we need better training in the private sector and a better partnership between the intelligence community. eric: putin told president trump that they did not hack the
9:21 am
election. the president said he basically believed them. what does president biden say when putin says we did nothing, i don't know what you're talking about. >> this is president biden's opportunity to hold putin accountable, whether he admits him or not. we don't expect him to. we need to tell putin and the rest of the world we know what russia is doing. they're mounting attacks against us. one is from the intelligence service, which was responsible for the solar winds attack which got to the security administration and hacked into that. the second are the denyable attacks from the kremlin proxies. they deterred them from targeting us. and then the third are the criminal hacking groups. again, we need to be on the offense hire. we can't just sit back and play defense. we have to find the nefarious actors and disrupt them. eric: yeah, i mean, look, president obama before the election told him to, quote,
9:22 am
knock it off. you've got to be tougher with putin. what does he understand, how does he stop it? >> yeah. that's absolutely right. when you tell him that you're grading his homework with an a plus and he's causing us harm. what putin wants to do is to demonstrate he has the capability. he's an intelligence officer by training in the kgb. he's practicing asymmetric cloak and dagger espionage. he wants us to know he has capabilities to shut us down. he wants to constrain our foreign policy. he wants to interfere in elections, use chemical weapons, shoot down an airliner, he wants to do those things and not face retribution because he has the ability he thinks to deter us from taking action because he can hit our electrical grid an other things. that's why we need to be out there targeting putin, putin's cyber criminals and his intelligence services and that's
9:23 am
how we effectively achieve escalatory dominance in this realm in cyberspace. eric: and finally, dan, this is d-day. 77th anniversary of what this country our democracy stands for against a totallanism, against dictatorship, against fascism, when our brave men stormed the beaches of normandy to free the europeans from the joke of tyranny and -- yolk of tyranny and the fascist nazis. your thoughts on what we saw decades ago and do we have this today. >> there's three things i think about on d-day. the first one is the greatest generation, the largest sea borne invasion in history and what that meant. the second, it was an extraordinary intelligence success. we've been decrypting sensitive nazi communications. we mounted a campaign so nazi
9:24 am
forces were unaware of our ultimate choice of a landing zone. and then the third thing i remember is my uncle joel and uncle fred who didn't participate in the normandy invasion but followed thereafter, fought in france. my uncle was wounded. he carried on to the battle of the bulge and all the way to berlin. they lived into their 90s. when i chose a career in government service, i followed in their foot steps, serving in my country the best i could as away of prior united nations and thanks -- appreciation and thanks for the freedoms we enjoy here. nowhere is that more important today when you look at the threats we face to our nation's security. eric: thanks to uncle joe, uncle fred, all those who gave their lives and the ultimate sacrifice who stormed the beaches, and thank you for your
9:25 am
service to our country. god bless our country. >> thank you. eric: arthel. arthel: thank you very much. and as the justice department data showing a decline in the number of police officers across the u.s., one city now releasing a list of crimes it cannot respond to in person because of a shortage of police. what's behind all this? that's up next. did you know you can go to libertymutual.com

9:30 am
arthel: president biden will resume talks with republican senator shelley moore cap to tomorrow in an effort to reach an agreement on his massive spending plan. david spunt live at the behight house with more. >> reporter: the negotiations continue. they may not be as fast as some would like them as far as republicans and democrats are concerned. as a candidate, joe biden on the campaign trail touted his three decades in the senate working with republicans and democrats about his negotiating skills but certainly when you become the commander in chief and you take over the oval office at the white house, things become different. last week the president met twice with republican west virginia senator shelley moore captio, last wednesday, june 2nd and friday, june 4th. she is the chief republican negotiator on infrastructure. the two have held multiple
9:31 am
conversations on the subject but they still have not reached a deal. republicans are looking at $978 billion. the president has also significantly come down in numbers. >> i still have all the confidence in the world we're going to get there. the president has gone from 2.25 trillion down to $1 trillion. the republicans have come up quite a bit from where they started. this is the same type of challenges we had back last year when we had to all get forget and break a deadlock. we're not there yet. >> reporter: republicans say, listen, we'll come up 50 billion, not million, but $50 billion, so clearly there is some good faith negotiation on the part of both as you heard senator manchin say right there. the president wants to tackle infrastructure, also the climate crisis and other progressive priorities. republicans say let's just hold off and leave it to infrastructure, meaning roads,
9:32 am
bridges and the basics. during a typical negotiation, both sides have to feel somewhat of a sting. that's what also equals a successful negotiation. again, president biden will meet with the chief republican negotiator, senator shelley moore captio. he is expected to bring in more republicans and democrats into the mix in the coming days and weeks but clearly it seems it's not over. it just seems to be a little bit stalled right now, arthel. arthel: david spunt live at the white house, thanks, david. eric. eric: well, arthel, police in nashville, the biggest city in western north carolina, they've released the list of 911 calls, they're no longer going to respond to, can you believe that? the police not responding to 911. the reason they say is because they've got a staffing crisis. the department says that they've lost 84 police officers since the start of last year. they say they're trying to free up officers to respond to more serious crimes, there's concerns this could happen across the
9:33 am
country. it's the latest sign of a nationwide police shortage problem. charles watson live with more on the police not coming when you call them. charles. >> reporter: eric, you mentioned the asheville police department says it is undergoing a staffing crisis. it's down dozens of officers. forcing the department to prioritize which crimes officers will respond to and in a facebook post the asheville police department says officers will no longer respond in person to crimes like fraud, scams, or theft under $1,000, among other things. instead, they're asking folks to report those crimes online. the department says the changes were needed to improve response times so emergency 911 calls following the loss of 84 officers in a year and-a-half span. north carolina fraternal order of police president said the shortages were political, telling the station, quote, they are following a national mandate
9:34 am
using the same terminology to try to lessen law and order in your community and try to lessen safety in your community and it's sad what's happening and i put the whole blame on city council. this is not a unique situation to asheville. officer shortages are a growing issue across the nation. police officials and union leaders in cities such as fill delve ya, seattle -- philadelphia, and lawsuit, point to increased scrutiny as reasons numbers are down in those departments. according to daj data, decline in rank and file is an issue that predates efforts to defund the police. the number of full-time officers dropped by 23,000 nationally, and eric, these departments across the nation are trying to get creative to get themselves out of the shortage issues. we've got departments that are offer aing bonuses to -- offering bonuses to new cree
9:35 am
cruset and they're offering retention bonuses to keep officers around. eric: critics, though, as you know, saying this is accelerated because of the attacks on police and the calls for defunding departments. charles, thank you. arthel. arthel: well, cdc director, dr. rochelle walensky calling for more teenagers to get vaccinated for covid-19. in a statement friday, dr. walensky said, quote, i am deeply concerned by the numbers of hospitalized adolescents and saddened to see the number of adolescents who require treatment in intensive care units for mechanical ventilation. much of the suffering can be prevented. dr. jeanette nesheiwat is here to discuss. dr. jeanette, if you would, first of all tell us more about is it called the b1617 variant? what is that, if you would and why is it attacking teenager and also how high is the
9:36 am
transmission rate among teenagers? >> yes. so arthel, this is a variant we saw predominantly in the u.k. and made its way into the united states and the reason why we're seeing it in teenagers now, we're seeing about 12.5% increase in teenagers, because the younger population are the ones that aren't vaccinated so much as the older population. we have fortunately about 75% of the older population who are fully vaccinated and this virus will attack and infect whoever we allow the opportunity for it to infect. so that's why it's important if you're 12 and older to speak to your doctor to see your pediatrician because you are most likely eligible for the vaccine unless have you any underlying severe allergy to any of the ingredients. it's unfortunate to see the increase in the number of teenage hospitalizations, a third of them had to be put in the icu and some of them on ventilators and it's important to note, arthel, that 30% of these children were perfectly healthy. the rest of them did have
9:37 am
underlying medical disease like asthma or obesity or neurological disorder. arthel: we don't know of course at this point because it's still in discovery, we don't know about long-term effects that the virus will have on that age group, right? >> you're absolutely right. some of the adults we're seeing are having long-term fatigue, shortness of breath, headaches. could that occur in the younger population as well? it is a possibility. that's why we have to look at the risks versus benefits. the benefits of the vaccine for most people can outweigh and be easier on your body than if you look at actually having covid or any potential side effect of the vaccine. arthel: is there something inherent in the vaccine lotteries, when there are millions of people across the globe who are literally dying because they can't get timely access to the vaccine, yet americans need a financial reward to get vaccinated. >> we have vaccinated about 63% of americans, have had at least
9:38 am
one dose of the vaccine. but we have to keep in mind, there are some parents, some patients that have questions that are unanswered, they have concerns, legitimate concerns. some are fearful of potential side effects. sometimes it's a matter of availability as well and accessibility. that's why i think it's so important for community leaders, role models, athletes, celebrities, teachers, priests, anyone who has the ability to be an example, be a role model, to go out, get your vaccine so we can motivate others to get it because it's something that can help us end the pandemic, save your life, keep you out of the hospital. but fortunately, even though we've seen a decline in the number of vac nations in the united states, -- vaccinations in the united states, we are sharing our vaccine supply with the rest of the world which i think is really important. arthel: listen, of course there are people who have underlying conditions and valid reasons to not get the vaccine. i understand that. what i meant was the people who
9:39 am
are i don't want to be bothered, i don't feel like it. you can't tell me what to do. whatever that reason is. and you throw money in front of them they're like okay, i'll get it. clearly there was no biological or biochemical reason for not getting it. i don't know, i just -- go ahead. >> it is a personal choice. sometimes we need a little nudging. whatever it takes to save lives, it is important, whether it's free tickets to a sporting event or a savings bond or the lottery. anything we can do to help save the lives of our community, of americans, i think it's reasonable to take those opportunities. arthel: okay. next time i'm going to wait so i can get in line to win a million dollars. i'm just saying. you know -- >> i understand. arthel: listen, there's an argument to both sides. >> maybe you'll gate booster. if you had moderna or pfizer you might require a booster. that will be your opportunity. arthel: i'm going to follow the rules. i'm fine with that. you were talking about the global distribution that president biden is going to be
9:40 am
distributing, 80 million vaccines across the globe which is very much needed. let me ask you before we go, this is a global pandemic, as we are looking, planning the calendar to travel during the summer, would you encourage us to do international travel or is it a good time to explore our beautiful country. >> absolutely. if you're fully vaccinated it's safe to travel. don't travel to areas where there's massive outbreaks, thousands of people dying each day for example in india. with 80 million vaccines that are going to be distributed too south america, africa, asia, india, hope any we can combat the pandemic globally and we can continue to travel abroad, not just within the united states. arthel: dr. jeanette nesheiwat, always a pleasure. thank you very much. >> thank you, arthel. arthel: eric. eric: the usa. meanwhile, former president trump is back on stage last night. what he said about running in 2024 and running with former

9:53 am
the issue is not that we think he won't be exonerated. the evidence is very clear what happened. there is no truth to what the north koreans are being forced to say to save their own lives. the problem is, even before he is allowed to put in evidence and show that he's innocenter, there is -- innocent, there is a real threat he could be murdered on spanish soil if he is extradited. that is the biggest fear that we are facing today. eric: the testimony is basically being based on what the north korean, kim jong un's own diplomats say. can they be trusted? >> that's exactly right. and it's not even a matter of whether they can be trusted. it's a matter of what they're allowed to say to save their own lives. they can't say that they have requested that mr. ahn and the group enter the embassy and essentially stage it as a kidnapping so when they decided to leave and i can't say who inside the embassy wanted to

leave, but folks did and to the extent that they did, it's -- north cree has a well-known history of retaliating against diplomats and other north koreans who try to leave the regime by punishing family members and associates, sending them to labor camps and sometimes killing them. that's a really real fear that they cannot admit or else they would be risking their own lives and the lives of their family. eric: officials have said that kim sent out assassination squads. we saw what happened to -- when that vx death and other things. you know what the justice department says, they say we have to uphold a treaty with spain, spain is an ally and they say he will be safe in spain. >> that's what they have to say right now. i think the justice department is trying to treat this as a run-of-the-mill extradition.
9:55 am
the reality it's not. it's the north korean government and not just north korean civilians, but north korean officials who are claiming this is what happened. even the fbi has confirmed numerous times that the threats against mr. ahn from north korea are real and that he is a target for assassination. eric: gene roseenbluth, the magistrate held an emotional hearing. the parents of otto warmbier were there. they attended the hearing in the federal courtroom. mrs. warmbier stood up and went to bat for chris. this is part of what she said. i know they will kill christopher. >>ann: . i don't know him -- christopher ahn. in my book, he is a hero. they just lie, lie, lie. i'm sorry that i'm begging you
