1:01 am
pekignese takes on the title of best in show. we have the highlights. "fox & friends first" starts right now. ♪ sometimes i get a good feeling, yeah. ♪ i get a feeling that i never, never, never had before. todd: that hair on that dog must be a beast to tame. jillian: they are cute though. i like them. but i feel like best in show should have gone to the french bulldog named levi. todd: you feel like levi got the shaft? jillian: i do. todd: good morning. you're watching "fox & friends first." i'm todd todd. todd piro.jillian: i'm jillian. president biden is set to meet with nato leaders in brussels. todd: the meeting will focus on afghanistan and cyber security. we have more on what to expect. beaning man, good morning. >> reporter: there is no doubt the relationship between the u.s. and nato will be different under president biden than it
1:02 am
was under president trump. you remember, president trump pushed very hard to get nato countries to commit and go over that 2% minimum gdp spend on military, earning the organization up to $130 billion a year extra in funding. it will be far less confrontational under president biden who arrived in brush else last night. -- brussels last night. on the agenda will be how to repurpose nato to counter china and russia and the other main topic will be the withdrawal of troops in afghanistan. other nato members want to leave a presence there. and they will be discussing increasingly aggressive russia. both conventionally as well as the cyber attacks. yesterday president biden said he was open to a deal on exchanging cyber criminals but jake sullivan down played the idea. >> the idea that responsible countries should be held
1:03 am
accountable to not harboring cyber communities and bringing cyber communities to justice. he is prepared to do that in the united states. he would like to see vladimir putin do that. >> reporter: covid is very much on the agenda, the recovery and origins. the final statement from the g-7 yesterday called for china to be more transparent. the world health organization chief admitted the lab leak theory cannot be ruled out so a big series of meetings coming up today, look carefully for the the meeting with turkey's president. president biden announced he would not have a joint press conference with vladimir putin, saying he didn't see the benefit. todd: congressman devin nunes, key defender of president trump during the so-called russia collusion witch hunt. >> what's going to happen this week is things are going to get
1:04 am
real for biden. the left, because they control the propaganda machine, the mainstream media and the corporate media this this country, they always underestimated putin. putin is a dictator. that's why it's so critical that now biden giving that pipeline to putin to allow putin to raise more money and more capital, you could also start with saying that, look, we're not going to tolerate any more of these cyber attacks. todd: president biden has said the u.s. is not looking for conflict. jillian: turning to a fox news alert, georgia police fatally shoot a gunman they say fatally shot a cob county police officer. the officer was responded to reports of a domestic dispute. the officer was hit point blank in the chest. fortunately, the officer was wearing a bulletproof vest. he was taken to the hospital with nonlife threatening
1:05 am
injuring and is expected to fully recover. police have not identified the suspect. no other officers were injured. todd: three people are critical after a race car veers off a mud track south of el paso, texas. it crashed through a guard rail, going into a crowd. 29 people were hurt, five taken to the hospital. three other cars damaged during the crash. jillian: a 25-year-old is dead after a shooting in downtown austin left 13 others hurt. police confirmed douglas can tore died sunday after being shot in the abdomen. another victim remains in critical condition. police arrested a juvenile suspect in connection with the shooting but they say the second suspect is still on the run. investigators say the shooting was an isolated incident between two people. todd: . jillian: two governors are calling for help to deal with the surge of migrants. greg abbott and doug doocy penned a letter asking for
1:06 am
resources to fortify the border. they have sued the biden administration for the policies. they have encountered nearly 900,000 migrants at the border this fiscal year, the most since 2006 where there were more than 1 million n -- encounters. it's been more than 80 days since vice president harris was tasked to handle the migrant surge at the southern border where she has still yet to visit. brandon judd says she is trying to protect her political career. take a listen. >> she can't go to the border. if she goes to the border, she's going to be expected to solve this problem. they is a problem that she created. she even came out and said she's and advocate for illegal aliens. she is supposed to be an add he vo get for citizens of this country yet she is saying she's advocating for lawlessness. that's the reason we're seeing all the problems we're seeing in
1:07 am
cities like oregon, new york, chicago, all of this lawlessness is existing because she is advocates for lawlessness. jillian: last week harris said she would visit the border soon but did not specify a date. todd: to the racetrack now where kyle larson wins some big bucks at the texas motor speedway. watch. >> larson right down on the white line, taking the short way around, leaving kozlowski out and your all-star winner, kyle larson. todd: larson holding off a late run from brad kozlowski, taking the million dollar prize. this is larson's second national all-star race win, the third week in a row he won a cup series event. imagine how fast we could get to work if he was driving. jillian: a new furry champion was named yesterday at the westminster kennel club dog show.
1:08 am
the 3-year-old nabbed the prize of best in show, beating more than 2500 other dogs. there were no spectators due to covid restrictions. he will celebrate with fill lay. et mignon. it's eight minutes after the hour now. a murder mystery unfolding around the south carolina legal family where investigators believe the son of a prominent attorney may have been a target in a shooting that killed he and his mother. todd: a former homicide detective, brian foley, join us to walk us through the investigation in what some call a bizarre case. next.
1:09 am
1:10 am
1:11 am
todd: welcome back. a south carolina community in absolute shock after the mother and son of a prominent family are shot dead. jillian: police confirm the deaths are investigated as a double homicide. ashley strohmier is here with
1:12 am
what we know. police aren't saying much. >> reporter: there are no arrests in the killings of paul and mattie murtow, members of one of south carolina's most influential legal families. paul was shot twice with a shotgun and his mother was also shot with a gun. investigators are considering the possibility paul was the target of an you attack and matty was killed by happenstance. this came days after paul attended a court hearing for a 2017 boating accident that left a 19-year-old girl dead. he was facing felony counts for boating under the influence causing death and great bodily harm. police haven't said whether the killings are related. the girl's fellly who are in a civil lawsuit released a statement saying quote, having suffered the devastating loss of their own daughter, the family prays they can find some level of peace from this tragic t loss. they would like the family and
1:13 am
community to know their thoughts and prayers are with the family. they suffered more tragedy after paul's grandfather died at 81. there is no word on if the death is related to the murders. they were laid to rest on friday. coming up, a friend of the family will be on "fox & friends" so be sure to stay tuned for that. jillian: ashley, thank you. let's bring in former homicide detective, brian foley. thank you for being here. >> good morning, thanks for having me. jillian: ashley laid out a lot of the story. what we know is as she mentioned the son had been facing three felony counts of boating under the influence in connection with the 2019 boat crash. we don't know if that and the shootings are related. we knows the family is connected to one of the state's most prestigious law firms. police say there is no risk to the public, despite not having made any arrests.
1:14 am
with all of that in mind, what do you think is going on right now? >> look, obviously, the police officers, the homicide investigators are not going to turn a blind eye to the let's call it a revenge theory. i investigated a case similar to this where a woman was run over by a car, the driver was not charged and the driver showed up dead in the same neighborhood years later. yes, the police are going to look at the revenge angle. the problem with investigating a revenge homicide, a situation similar to this, is usually the killer has very little contact with the person he's seeking revenge on. there's not a lot of phone calls, social media exchange. it's usually a type of situation where they study the victim and they seek their moment and attack. in studying the victim, you're going to -- you are going to leave some footprints for sure. but generally there's not a lot of evidence in these revenge type homicides. todd: with that in mind, what are cops doing to connect the dots. this doesn't seem linear at all.
1:15 am
it seems like it's all over the place, like a clue movie, with respect to those that lost their lives. not trying to trivialize it. this seems like a bizarre movie plot. >> this is not fiction. look, it's similar to in the case we're going to talk about, the cops are not saying too much at this point which is not necessarily a bad thing. typically they're going to put out information, they have two things they're weighing, public safety and they want to catch a killer. everything they put out there, the killer that they're looking for is going to see something. now, let's talk about, again, what the cops are not saying. they're not saying somebody was robbed, they're not saying a car was stolen. homicide detectives can look at a case, can look at evidence and tell if this is a random act of violence, an emotional act of violence or targeted act of violence. i believe that's what the
1:16 am
circumstances are going to show up to be here in south carolina. when the cops aren't saying a lot, that's not necessarily a bad thing. being a former reporter and homicide detective i will tell you what the police say publicly doesn't match, to get a story line. the police typically having and they're following it and there's not a need to release it, everything is strategic that the police department puts out there. public safety wins over the benefits of the case. they're going to talk to a homicide investigator before they put out anything to the public. but the fact they're not saying much is a good thing. jillian: to that point of what they are and aren't putting out to the public, you do you know much about the law in south carolina. i was reading an article, that south carolina law requires police agencies to release what's reported within 14 days. if that is the case, how could this potentially hamper an investigation like this if
1:17 am
you're forced to release details before you want to? >> any report does not mean all reports. there's a law in connecticut that you have to put out a report shortly after someone is arrested with the basic details of it. so they put out the very basic details and refer to everything as supplemental. they want to put out as little information as possible if they were a danger to the public they would say so. so they start with the first report. everything else in the supplemental report, they want to hide their cards with everything that affects that criminal case as well. todd: let get to the yale case. the slain student from chicago was shot multiple times. what is the next step in the high profile shooting. >> look, $20 million bond, i've never seen that in connecticut. i think the court believes there's a high flight risk and
1:18 am
likelihood of leaving the country. the state did an amazing job with the evidence. you heard the defendant's attorney say that the state had a very strong case. you don't hear that very often out of a defense attorney. the state has a strong case moving forward. now they'll slow down and they'll have time to put the evidence together. they found blood evidence in the truck so it is a strong case. jillian: brian foley, thank you for your insight. todd: we'll certainly have you back on the south carolina case. meantime, a school holiday, parents outraged after holiday names are canceled off the school calendar. >> i would like to make a motion to change the calendar to not reflect any named holiday or ethnic group. i need a second.
1:19 am
>> second. jillian: a father from the school district says this was the straw that broke the cam he'll's back as -- camel's back as a petition calling for board member resignation takes up thousands of signatures. that parent joins us live, next. ♪ one way or another i'm going to find you. ♪ i'm going to get ya, get ya, get ya.

1:22 am
>> i would like to make a motion to change the calendar to not reflect any named holiday or ethnic group. i need a second. >> second. todd: outraged parents in new jersey calling on school board members to resign immediately after they voted to cancel holiday names from the official school p calendar. here with more is one of those parents, randolph new jersey father of three, james jakovi.
1:23 am
james, this just seems absolutely insane, if it weren't true, is calling thanksgiving thanksgiving something the residents of your town have been filled with angst with for years? >> certainly not, todd. todd: this is unbelievable. then why did the board do this? >> honestly, we're all in shock. we don't really understand it at all. if you look at what happened, there was over 150 residents that attended the meeting last week, all were up in arms about this particular topic, many had started to walk out and by the time they left, the board in the middle of the moment with nothing on the agenda went from one holiday discussion to voting all holidays off the calendar. it blew us all away, couldn't believe it. todd: that gets to my next question, the larger picture is the power hungry school boards you're seeing throughout the country, they say they're doing this so no one has quote, unquote, hurt feelings.
1:24 am
but what's really going on here? >> yeah, it's laughable, right? because that's not what leadership is really about. if you want to be a leader, especially an elected leader, then your responsibility and code of ethics is to represent the interests of the town and the folks that elected you and they're incapable of listening. they have proven that. this is not an isolated incident, this is really the tip of the iceberg. if you look back at the pandemic last year where we live in an area where the taxes are one of the highest areas of taxes, 71% of our property taxes go to the schools and while dual income families are struggling and unemployment's at record high levels, we're learning that the board spent $90,000 on office decorations and they had normal than higher raises to themselves. there's all sorts of insanity happening. this isn't the first time around. really, it's a degrading insult to our american traditions, our
1:25 am
american moral and core values as a family. todd: let's pop on the screen a petition calling on the board members to resign. how vital is it that parents push back when school boards go, quite frankly, woke like this? >> i mean, you never would think, todd, that this would come to your neighborhood or your doorstep and it came to ours. so i hope the listeners local and even national are understanding that this radical theme that we've seen for the last 12 months occur across the country is coming to your neighborhood soon. it came to ours. when your back's against the wall you have to stand and defend your core values. it's uncomfortable to do that, we understand that, but you have to stand up and defend your family, defend what's right and speak loudly. todd: here's a statement, holidays have not been canceled. primary purpose is to inform parents when schools are opened and closed. then why do we have to control
1:26 am
the language like this? >> it's an interesting response that came through the press release late last night. if the intention was really about scheduling, they would have led with that at the beginning of the meeting. that's not what this is about. this is about a personal agenda. it was tastefully and poorly chosen to conduct the meeting that way. todd: thank you for being here and giving us your insight and keeping us posted. i grew up in a town like this, similar towns in new jersey. i used to love to celebrate my jewish friends even though i don't celebrate the holidays. they were happy, it made me happy injury. .jillian: where are the kids when kids no longer be kids. you used to be able to go out and play tag. he made an excellent point, he said sometimes it's uncomfortable but you have to stand up when it comes to your
1:27 am
backyard. he says it's not, but it is. todd: we're seeing people push back. my take-away is this. part of the effort i see is the effort to tear down our traditions. my thought is, if you don't celebrate that tradition and if it makes you upset that somebody else is enjoying their tradition, maybe you need to look inward, re-evaluate yourself and find a different way to be happy by not tearing down others. jillian: exactly. i agree with you. worry about what you have to worry about in your life, and let everyone else do their thing and worry about what affects them. todd: how have we gotten here? jillian: i don't know. it's 27 minutes after the hour. that i do know. criminals in new york city are taking advantage of the soft on crime policies like this suspect caught on camera, mugging a woman in broad daylight in the middle of a packed central park. todd: unbelievable. look at that. that's like a normal day here. plus nancy pelosi insisting there's not a divide in the democratic party as she comes to the defense of congresswoman ilhan omar. but another squad member singing
1:28 am
a much different tune. we'll have a live report from washington, next. ♪ it's so hard to keep the smile from my face
1:29 am
1:30 am
1:31 am
jillian: welcome back. speaker nancy pelosi is dismissing claims of a growing divide among democrats. todd: pelosi flip-flopping, calling congresswoman ilhan omar a valued member of the caucus. doug luzader joins us live from washington with all the details. hey, doug. >> reporter: good morning. well, the house speaker nancy pelosi is defending omar, whose criticism of the u.s. and israel has created a real riff in the democratic party after omar wrote a tweet that many took to equate israel with terrorist groups. a group of democrats rebuked her. the speaker says it's time to move on. >> let me just say this. we did not rebuke her. we thanked the knowledge that
1:32 am
she made a clarification, before we go too far down the path. congresswoman omar is a valued member of our caucus. what i'm saying is end of subject. she clarified, we thanked her, end of subject. >> reporter: okay. but some republicans want consequences like removing omar from her committee assignments including foreign affairs. a group of gop members of congress wrote it is the responsibility of the party's leadership and the house of representative to hold accountable egregious words and actions made by members of the party. we request that you swifting remove congresswoman omar from her committee assignments. meantime, representative alexandria ocasio-cortez has launched her own broadside against west virginia senator joe manchin. progressives are not all that pleased about his push for bipartisanship on issues like voting reform and infrastructure and his defense of the filibuster. >> the things that he cites
1:33 am
like this romanticism of bipartisanship is an era of republicans that doesn't exist anymore. i think that the older school way of accepting the role of lobbyists in washington absolutely has a role in joe manchin's thinking. >> reporter: pelosi meantime suggests that she thinks manchin may come around to her thinking on issues like voting reform. we'll see. it's a big issue for the democratic party. todd and jillian. jillian: we will certainly see. doug luzader, thank you. todd: hear about this? benjamin netanyahu out as israeli prime minister after 12 years as head of the jewish state. country's legislature narrowly voting to form a new government on sunday, coalition of opposition groups pledging to heal divisions they say was caused by netanyahu.
1:34 am
president biden congratulated israel's new prime minister. jillian: secretary of state antony blinken for more accountability into the investigation into the origins of covid-19. he said he needs more information to understand why the pandemic happened and urges more transparency. >> the w.h.o., the first study they put out was highly deficient. the leaders of the g-7 came together, insisting china cooperate with the so-called phase two study by the w.h.o. to get to the bottom of what happened. jillian: going forward, blinken said it's important that the international community including china work together to have transparency. a judge halted president biden's $4 billion program to pay back up to 120% of the debt of black, his pan particular, native american farmers. todd: one of the plaintiffs in the case joins us live to tell
1:35 am
us more. when you first learned of this $4 billion program initially, what was your reaction? >> well, when i first heard about it i thought this is the most racist thing i've ever seen. i mean, this is pretty obvious that it's out and out racism and i started looking for ways that we could fix it. jillian: here's what the judge says. this is thursday. quote, the obvious response to a government agency that claims it continues to discriminate against farmers because of their race or natural origin is to direct it to stop. it is not to direct it to intentionally discriminate against others on the basis of their race and national origin. congress can implement race neutral programs to help farmers and ranchers in need of financial assistance. what do you think about that? >> well, that just makes a lot of sense. the covid pandemic affected all farmers equally.
1:36 am
it didn't matter about who you were, what color your skin was. i mean, it's -- agriculture is a tough business right now and there's a lot of people that can use some help and we're all taxpayers. there's no reason why we -- why it should be based solely on something as abstract as one's skin color. todd: you literally learned day one in law school that you can't discriminate on the basis of race. they don't spend a lot of time on it because it's so obvious. what should the government have done to fix what it view as racism within the farming industry? >> well, they're the ones that were doing the racist acts as they claim they were. they should just change their policies and run their programs in ways that were neutral to all races. i think there's supposed to be equal protection under the law.
1:37 am
well, i think the government needs to actually follow their own rules. jillian: can you tell us some of the hardships that you've personally been up against? >> well, when the pandemic hit and the -- all the shutdowns started, milk prices tanked about 30 to 40%. we were very fortunate, not having to dump any of our milk but we were asked to cut back on production on top of losing 30 to 40% of our pay price almost overnight. it's been really tough year. it's slowly getting better but now with inflation and everything, we're really -- we're taking a big hit again. todd: here's the response from the usda, disagree with the judge's ruling. the usda will continue to defend the ability to carry out the act of congress and carry out debt
1:38 am
relief to socially disadvantaged borrowers. the people that make the rules are the elite. most if not all have not been farmers. what do they not understand about your business? >> i don't think they understand our business one bit. i don't think they realize this is a very capital intense business, a lot of hours and for very little pay. like i said, the business does not work off of race. i mean, if somebody's going to -- what they claim is part of the issue here, nobody asks what race you are when you price fertilizer or price seed. jillian: adam, keep us updated on everything, okay? we wish you the left. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. jillian: have a good day. now to the violence that continues in chicago. since friday, three people were killed and 32 were hurt in separate shootings.
1:39 am
one person was killed and nine injured in a single attack in chatham, a neighborhood on the south side of the city. police say two males approached the group and opened fire. no arrests have been made. so far this year, there have been over 1200 shooting incidents in chicago, that is a 17% increase compared to last year. there have been 269 homicides which is 5% rise compared to 2020. a daylight robberly was caught on camera. we want to warn you, the video contains graphic content. nypd are looking for this man, seen robbing and punching a woman in the face. the incident happened friday in central park during the daytime as you can see. this is unbelievable. the victim struggled with the suspect before he took off with her phone. a bystander was able to get the victim's phone back. the suspect got away. police are offering a $3,500 reward for any information about the suspect you see. that is unbelievable. todd: new york city in 2021,

jillian: good morning. welcome back. an npr writer appears to be the latest media figure engaging in cancel culture as he demands tom hanks become an anti-racist. todd: carley shimkus here with the latest. you're playing with fire when you attack tom hanks. >> this is an example of no good deed goes unpunished. it started when tom hanks wrote an op-ed in the new york times calling for more teaching about the tulsa race massacre. he writes history was mostly written by white people about white people like me while the history of black people including the horrors of tulsa are too often left out. well, an nfr writer believes that tom hanks didn't go far enough and wrote a piece entitled tom hanks is a non-racist, time for him to be an anti-racist. he says hanks made a career out
1:46 am
of playing righteous white men in films that often leave out black contributions. that piece receiving criticism for unnecessarily attacking hanks. but he posted a tweet saying he is proud of his work. he tweeted the insults and bullying are already piling up in my twitter timeline but i'm proud of my column today and tom hanks' op-ed about teaching the tulsa race massacre, i'm a fan but what he said is not enough. it's time for tom hanks to be anti-racist. that's how that's shaping up today. jillian: and booed for taking a knee, right? >> the national anthem kneeling controversy has gone international. fans of england soccer team booed players who took a knee during their game in the european championship against croatia yesterday. now, the english football association released a statement on this, saying they are doing this as a mechanism of
