last father's day as me and my family were driving through main street, in front of the courthouse, five democrats holding signs that say defund the police, that was the straw that broke the back, being a democratic elected sheriff, people who were democrats asking for defunding of our department and that is the straw that said i have to make a change because all these things going on against law enforcement. todd: why did you join the democratic party? >> that had been the party my grandfather had been in, the party to me that was for hard-working people. that has changed over the years. jillian: you mention the last election. your county went 86% for donald

trump. i know you are probably receiving questions and criticism with people wondering are you making this switch because you're interested in the political aspects of running for another term, what do you say to that? >> the switch was done after my reelection so it wasn't based on running for office or staying in office. the sheriff in virginia is four year term. i easily could keep my mouth shut, say nothing and go on for four years and not have to worry about anything, this had nothing to do with the election or reelection. it is the right thing to do because of what i feel was an attack on law enforcement that won't help our community. todd: let's focus on the task of being a sheriff because of the from the police effort, how tough is it been for you to hire officers who want to join the

sheriff's department? >> it has been difficult. i'm getting good law enforcement officers, sometimes it is hard anyway. now, to ask these young men and women, to go into a field that so many things are going on and feels like euro government is against you makes it even more difficult to go through the hiring process, to get good men and women on the streets. jillian: look at these virginia police reforms, then includes banning no knock warrant, limiting user chuckled, mandating racial bias, de-escalation and crisis intervention training, limiting offenses for which officer can conduct traffic stops, defunding departments deemed to have engaged in biased policing. all of that being said are there some reforms you agree with and think perhaps could be good for us and of those we listed which do you have a hard time with and make the job harder? >> law enforcement throughout the years, i've done this over

30 years, we've always seen reform and advances so look at where we are now in law enforcement compared to when i started many years ago, there's been a lot of reforms that are good. law enforcement reform continues to change but when things are going on that you know is not going to be good for law enforcement were victims of crime and the biggest one is the defunding the police and it does come down to you get what you pay for whether it is schoolteachers or any profession you look at if you want to pay schoolteachers bottom dollar, take away training, take away money for what they need in the classroom what type of education? say with law enforcement, and no

money for training, or the profession that needs to be, to say we want the very best, we're going to take money to provide the best. >> i'm sure your community is thankful to have you and to have you doing what you can for them so thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. >> thank you very much. >> 18 after the hour, the report showing nursing home directors in new jersey profited during the pandemic collecting hazard pay they did not qualify for for families who lost loved ones. >> we are talking to family members next. enough, crohn's! for adults with moderate to severe crohn's or ulcerative colitis... stelara® can provide relief and is the only approved medication to reduce inflammation on and below the surface of the intestine in uc. you, getting on that flight? back off, uc! stelara® may increase your risk of infections, some serious, and cancer. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you have an infection... flu-like symptoms, sores, new skin growths,

>> the ceo, her full name is elizabeth. jillian: if we pull up some information there were 40,$000 collectively given to three ineligible managers there and in a statement from the department of military and veterans affairs, quote, review of payments is ongoing and any unauthorized payments will be recouped. frank, what happens now? >> i do not understand why these ceos and assistant ceos who took his money aren't indicted. in new jersey we have a criminal statute for public employees who take money that doesn't belong to them from the state called official misconduct. once you take over $200 forget about it, access to 10,$000 as is the case here, that is punishable by minimum 5 years in state prison and by the way new

jersey does not have protective custody. you would be put in the general population. there are other allegations of criminal misconduct by ceos but taking the money that belongs to nurses and nurses aides that were supposed to be caring for virginia's parents and putting it in their own pockets, if it is true what the wall street journal found in internal emails that the civil service commission said they were not entitled to these payments but they pay themselves anyway is reprehensible and they are nothing but thieves if that is happening. jillian: regina, what are you told happened to your parents? >> 24 hours, he had pneumonia and had him on maximum oxygen and tylenol and fever, they said

he was fine and i was even being denied a end of life visit. my father was struggling to breathe. i got this photograph and i want to come up and see him and, with jfk medical center, he was modeled and unconscious when he was admitted and died within 3 and half hours. jillian: what do you miss about your parents? >> got to be routines ago visit. they used to hear the lady barbara play the piano. and they were not able to walk very much.

jillian: a newly resurfaced report shows scientists finding it possible that coronavirus leaked from the wuhan lab in china.

todd: greg joins us with more. >> reporter: there are more signs today pointing to the possibility at least the covid 19 started in a lab in shine and leaked out, from the prestigious lawrence livermore national laboratory in california makes a strong case for further inquiry to the possibility of a virus seeking out of the wuhan virology lab. the lab theory is plausible. it came out in may of last year with many experts dismissing the lab leaks theory. it subsequently has been incorporated into further studies, chinese lab staffers got sick from covid long before beijing admitted the disease was circulated. president biden put his

intelligence department on the hunt for clues, recently gave 90 days to come up with an answer whether the virus spread and also humanist china claimed or if it came from the lab. blinken has called for more accountability from china. here's what he told a congressional panel on monday. >> can't put a percentage on it. there are two possible scenarios, when is what you just described emerging from a laboratory and the other that it was naturally occurring. >> reporter: blinken and getting to the bottom of the origin of covid 19, as difficult as that might be could be crucial in preventing any future outbreak. it should be noted that experts also say beyond that, looking at how countries handle covid 19 in pursuing months and year plus is also very important in future pandemics and dealing with them as well. todd: vice president kamala harris visiting guatemala to tackle what she says our root

causes of migration but the response to bipartisan calls to visit the southern border. >> on the issue of republicans's political attacks, i came here to be here on the ground to speak with the leader of this nation around what we can do in a way that is significant, tangible as opposed to grand gestures. jillian: harris and president biden are not scheduled to visit any border communities during their trips. here to react, thank you for being here, appreciate your time. you just heard the vice president saying it would be a grand gesture to visit the southern border. do you agree? >> i think it is the only thing she should do. i've been to the southern border a couple times and spoken to the people who are on the ground dealing with the issue and they told us what we need to do to stem the tide.

the vice president doesn't think it is important to listen to the people dealing with the problem every single day and as a leader and former mayor i know that is what you need to do, get on the ground, talk to the people dealing with the problem. to get to the root causes of the problem and stop the stem of the immigration crisis. todd: i understand why kamala harris's words in the democratic primaries were much different than her words yesterday. during the primary, everybody coming yesterday don't come. what she got to the pinnacle of being the vice president of the united states, why did she wait until now to shift her tone and tell people not to come? why did she do this in the previous 78 days she was named border czar or whatever she is named? >> the president of the united states told people to come, we

will give you free healthcare, change all these policies that really worked under the trump administration and gave the green light to thousands, hundreds of thousands of immigrants to come across the border. for her to say not to come is hypocritical. going against what the president wanted by his actions, his words were the things that caused the crisis to begin with. the guatemalan president said it is what you are saying that is causing this crisis, that is why people are leaving, you invited them to come in. that is the root cause of this. how do we stop it? listen to customs and border protection agents. they know how to stop it, how to deal with it. restore trump administration policies that were working but anything with trump on it must be wrong so we will reverse anything that has trump on it and now we are paying a price. jillian: something marco rubio said, quote, the argument from the left is this country is a

place that has not been for good for people other than the majority over much of our history and hispanics just don't buy it and the reason they don't buy it is very simple, they know what life is like in another country. your reaction. >> absolutely 100% true. hispanics, i am in immigrants. i came here from cuba. my parents brought me here from cuba. i know what it is like to be in cuba. i know what it is like not to have freedom of the press, freedom of expression, for your faith to be attacked so hispanics by and large have come here for a better life. they left another country to come to america. america is the greatest country in the world and no matter how many times the left says it is not, that it is fundamentally flawed we don't believe it, we don't buy it because we have the experience of where we came from. that is why hispanics are turning to the republican message. that message resonates with them, we are about hard work, we are about law and order.

a lot of us come from places that there is no law and order. we love this country, we know the greatness of this country, gives our children opportunity and that is why we came here and do well in 2022. more hispanics are turning to the republicans because our message is what resonates with them. todd: congressman from florida, thank you so much. now to some extreme weather, just outside denver, massive funnel on the ground for a whopping 25 minutes. jillian: it caused extensive property damage and knocked down power lines, no injuries reported. janice dean here with fox weather forecast, 25 minutes on the ground. >> janice: looking at storm tracker we had a tornado around the denver area so it is confirmed we had a bunch of hail and damaging wind across the northern plains, tornado outside bismarck and potential for

jillian: welcome back. shootings are soaring across the nation. dozens rocking cities like miami portland over the weekend claiming several lives. todd: with police already bracing for a violent summer crime surge stoking new fears about liberal leaders continue to push progressive policies. here to weigh in is gianno caldwell. how bad could it get this summer in our nation's cities? >> good morning. thank you for having me. if the latest fox news poll is any indication with 73% of americans believe that crime has gotten even worse in 2021 than it was in 2020, i think we are well on our way to have a summer that's perhaps like any other. if you look at chicago as an example, chicago sometimes reports that there has been over 1400 shootings already outpacing last year's count by 100. and this weekend alone there were 60 people shot including an

11-year-old shot in the back. this defund the police movement have made matters worse. progressives pushing this false narrative that all police officers are bad and all you have to do usurp their funding and everything go will be okay isn't paying dividends at all. it's become an absolute disaster. look at new york a billion dollars defunded from police department. shootings are up 166%. look at minneapolis, they defunded there and what happened? homicides up 60% and not enough officers to solve the crimes because they don't have the resources. 63 out of the top 66 jurisdictions, police jurisdictions have seen increase of at least one crime. things aren't getting better they are actually getting worse. it's time to put down the rhetoric and start supporting police officers and police reforms. that's what's necessary for this moment. jillian: it's awful what's going on out there. you want to defund some of our

trust in politicians. what does this mean gianno? >> you know what? it was something that i talked about when i co-hosted this weekend's big show, i will tell you, we as a country, so many individuals have put their faith in people like dr. anthony fauci who is a medical expert. is he a government employee. people begin to look at him like he was jesus christ himself trusting absolutely everything that he said even though he was giving advice that was contrarian to something he might have said two or three weeks ago. not only that you saw other medical experts that provided a different take than him. we are talking about legitimate medical experts. not people that got their degrees from places you heard from. people world renown. people called them crackpot trump conspiracy theories. people began to believe that we come to find out a lot of these individuals happen to be correct in their analysis.

so, what that tells me is we cannot be placing our trust in government. we must place our trust in god. that's my personal opinion as a christian especially. but certainly as one who we have seen time and time again when the government hasn't been completely hope open and honest with us and dr. fauci is a key example of that in this moment. jillian: gianno caldwell, host of the out loud podcast. we prevent it have a good day. >> thank you. todd: chicken values the burger chain promising to donate 40-cent to the lieutenant for every one of its new sandwiches sold. also making a point to say they're available on sundays obviously chick-fil-a closed. jillian: trending for passing out cookies you see them here white house portrait on them. reporters got them on air force 2 while traveling to guatemala. todd: we had this little discussion at 4:00.
