"fox & friends first" continues right now.

♪ here i go again on my own. ♪ going down the only road i've ever known. todd: our director is laughing, you laugh because you think of the movie old school when you hear this song. jillian: or am i laughing because i dropped my pen and i'm a mess today. todd: you're an old school fan. jillian: scoop-a-loop and bring your green hat. todd: good morning, you're watching "fox & friends first" on this tuesday morning. i'm todd piro. jillian: i'm jillian mele. we're awaiting president biden's arrival at the royal palace in brussels. todd: the president's going to meet with his majesty, king fill leap as well as the prime minister of belgium. jillian: then he will attend

the eu summit. we turn to benjamin hall who is live in brussels. benjamin, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, todd and jillian. certainly a very busy day yet again for president biden, as you said we're waiting for him to meet the king of belgium and the prime minister before heading to the eu summit. yesterday he gave his first press conference of this trip. he was quite forceful towards president putin, said he would respond to aggression or provocation. there is some concern about the strength of his messaging. >> i'm going to make clear to president putin that there are areas where we can cooperate. if he chooses not to cooperate and acts in a way that he has in the past, relative to cyber security and some other activities, then we will respond. >> reporter: president biden though has been quite coy about what exactly he will say to president putin. we expect him to address the

poisoning of opponents, human rights abuse as well as the buildup of troops on the russia, ukrainian border. one of the he key topics will be cyber attacks that keep coming from inside russia, the colonial pipeline hack, the jbs food processing hack, we are getting a sense of pew ton's de-- putin's defense. >> we have been accused of all kinds of things, election interference, cyber attacks and so on and so forth, and not one time did they bother to produce any kind of evidence or proof. >> reporter: president biden also offering frankly a stinging rebuke of the republican party last night in the state of politics back home with many questioning if this was the time to do so. >> i think it's appropriate to say that the republican party is vastly diminished in numbers.

the leadership of the republican party is fractured. and the trump wing of the party is the bulk of the party. >> reporter: so president biden will be heading off to geneva later today ahead of that meeting with vladimir putin. axios is reporting he put together a group of russia experts to help him prep for that, including apparently some former trump administration officials. todd and jillian. jillian: benjamin hall, thank you. todd: a rare show of bipartisanship on the steps of capitol hill. a big group of lawmakers holding a moment of silence as the united states approaches the grim milestone of 600,000 covid-19 deaths. the u.s. leads the world in virus deaths, cases and vaccine doses administered. the european union is expected to call for a second world health organization investigation into the origins of covid-19. jillian: some lawmakers say not enough is being done.

jackie ibanez joins us with all the details. jackie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the eu and the u.s. are expected to call for more progressive investigation into the origins of covid-19. the topic is expected to highlight an eu summit this morning in brussels but some lawmakers say right now all they see is talk. they want more action. >> we're all for working with our nato allies and g-7 partners but, you know, president trump talked about america first. i think it's important we see concrete actions come out of these summits. >> reporter: this as top chinese virologist says any speculation about a lab leak from the wuhan lab is baseless, telling the new york times, how can i offer up evidence for something where there is no evidence? i don't know how the world has come to this, constantly pouring filth on an innocent scientist. in the interview, zing lee defends her reputation but doesn't provide information to back her claim. as a washington post columnist

points out, she repeats the usual ccp propaganda, while ignoring all questions. an advisory board member telling fox news china is preventing a meaningful investigation and only making itself look more guilty. >> we need to give china let's say 0 days -- 30 days to come clean, to say we want to have a full investigation with unrestricted access to relevant records. china cannot have a veto over whether or not we investigate the worst pan deck my in a century -- pandemic in a century. >> reporter: video reportedly shows live bats insued the wuhan lab in 2017. the team was known for extensively researching viruses in bats. the w.h.o. report on the origin of the virus didn't mention if bats had been kept at the wuhan institute. jillian: jackie, thank you. todd: check out this video, a massive chemical plant explosion

causing residents to flee their homes in northern illinois. the plant going up in flames yesterday morning, officials say about 70 workers were inside at the time. fortunately, everyone made it out okay from that, one firefighter treated for injuries. it's still unclear what caused the blast. people have been asked to evacuate homes and wear masks to protect themselves from the fumes. officials believe it could take several days for the oil based fire to burn off. jillian: a coroner confirming a wife and son of prominent south carolina lawyer were shot several times. the report didn't say where on the body they were hit. the victims were found dead on their property last week. authorities are investigating the death as a double homicide. the killings coming just days after paul attended a hearing for a 2019 boating accident that left a 19-year-old girl dead. investigators have not said whether the events are connected. there have been no arrests. todd: second teen suspect arrested with a mass shooting in

downtown austin over the weekend. investigators say they were arrested while attending a summer school class at a high school. the shooting killed one and injured 13 others. another suspect under the age of 17 has been arrested. police say the shooting may have been the result of an argument between two groups. jillian: doj official don demers is set to resign over allegations. they subpoenaed records amid congressional investigations into former president trump. don mcgahn said he was also targeted. reporters from cnn, the new york times, the washington post were also the subject of those probes. attorney general merrick garland referred the matter to the department inspector general. todd: everyone in the pool, the queen of the pool punching her ticket to the tokyo games. take a look.

>> katie ladeki going back to the olympic games. todd: she won the 400-meter free style in convincing fashion, she won by like 100 lengths. this happened at the u.s. swimming trials last night. she finished just seconds off her on world record which she set in 2016. meantime, there's this. i call this the chipotle controversy. a runner received a four year ban from racing of after testing positive for steroids. she blames it on mexican food. she said the positive test stemmed from a pork burrito she had the night before the test. i blame things on pork burritos in the past. never a failed drug test. jillian: i'm curious how can they confirm the information. .todd: we can't east chipotle

jillian: good morning. welcome back. moving to censure the squad, republicans introducing resolution condemning the lawmakers over controversial comments over israel. todd: joining us now, michael michae burgess. do you think this passes and what does this say about the fracture of the democratic party. >> israel is our ally and has

been our ally, historic ally, president truman recognized israel shortly after its formation, so to equate them with a terrorist organization absolutely uncalled for, made everyone i would say on both sides of the political divide, made us -- made everyone uncomfortable. jillian: here's what nancy pelosi has to say, quote, it's not constructive, in fact it's dangerous for them to speak that way. it's dangerous to the target of their comments. but they don't appreciate that, they don't care about that and she was referring to the fact that, you know, a lot of gop members are calling the squad the hamas caucus. what is your response to that? >> i don't know if that's helpful. we should all watch our language. thrls no question about that. but there is no place, no place for referring to our ally, israel, in the same breath had as a terrorist organization. jillian: was it fair to call them the hamas caucus then? we have heard that a number of times. >> i don't think i would use

that terminology. i don't think that terminology was used in the resolution. but the use of the juxtaposition of our ally, israel, with a terrorist organization has no place in our discourse either. todd: it will be interesting to watch nancy pelosi with this high wire act until the midterms. a new report by three democratic organizations showing the movement is hurting the party. here's the key quote, our assumptions about democratic support among voters of color and lack of differentiation in our messaging and outreach within demographic groups cost us support in key races. so why when faced with the reality of the situation do they keep up with the identity politics, congressman? >> because historically it has worked well for them and it is -- it's unfortunate. you do see identity politics as one of the things that divides us as a country.

it doesn't help as far as the so-called effort to bring people together that president biden spoke about in his inauguration address, identity politics is in my opinion always divisive. we have to look at ways of being inclusive. todd: you mentioned in the past, historically has worked. the latest study presumably focusing on the recent election showed it didn't work. what do you predict for 2022? >> i hope they keep it up because clearly what doesn't work for them works for us. you see the of difficulty, you go down this road and invite division. jillian: the report lists certain states, talking about african-american voters in virginia, north carolina, buy the messaging like defending the police instead of defunding and lists various states in the messaging that works. it will be interesting to follow that into 2022. i want to get your opinion.

vice president kamala harris has yet to visit the southern border as you know but she is hosting lone star state democrats who thwarted the gop elections bill at the white house, this is happening tomorrow. what do you make of this? i know so many people are disappointed she hasn't been down there yet. >> she needs to go. your previous article about the democrats losing power in otherwise historically supported groups, hispanics on the border is one of those areas where democrats are losing support. and we just saw the election of a former gop chair as the mayor of mick allen. that was -- mcallen. that had to be start living for people -- startling for people observing the political situation at the border. i've been to the border so many times this year. you can't ayou appreciate it if you don't go. texas democrats know that why not invite her to mcallen,

del-rio or el paso, why not invite her to one of the areas where we're holding the unaccompanied children that we, the american taxpayer, is paying for. it really is their obligation to go. i don't disagree he with talking to guatemala and mexico about this issue. at the same time we need to see what we're facing on the ground, what the country is facing on the ground. todd: the optics of the photo op that the white house fears so much, the shot of kamala harris with migrants walking behind her, that is trumping, no pun intended, her actually going down there. jillian: congressman have a good day. it is 18 minutes after the hour. can you officially go maskless in the happiest place on earth. todd: cheryl casone has the fox business roundup, next. ♪ i've got the magic in me. ♪ i've got the magic, baby. ♪ everything i touch turns into

jillian: good morning. welcome back. republicans are done waiting for vice president harris to visit

the border. todd: house gop introducing a bill that would put more pressure on the vp to see the migrant crisis firsthand. griff jenkins live for us in washington with more on the bill. >> reporter: good morning. representative ashley henson's bill takes the keys to air force 2 away, preventing international travel until the vice president visits our southern border, something she says she'll do but has yet to announce a date. >> this crisis is worsening by the day. yet, the vice president has refused to go to the border herself. when asked why she hasn't visited the southern border, she laughed. she laughed. this is not a laughing matter. >> reporter: it's been more than 80 days since the vice president was tapped on the border crisis, as nearly 930,000 migrants have come across this fiscal year, on pace to surpass all of 2019. in addition to guatemala and mexico, she visited 10 states of which only california is a border state, drawing

considerate civil from members there. >> -- criticism from members there. >> it's amazing to me that she's conspicuous in her inability to come to the border, when it's clear that we are a draw and her message of don't comes has been rejected. >> reporter: alejandro mayorkas arrived in mexico city for his first foreign trip, this while a car chase ended in a crash with a smuggler and migrants taken into custody. texas' governor said he is building a wall and cracking down on illegal crossers. >> we're tired of the turnover game and catch and release game. they will no longer get the biden red carpet treatment. they'll go to jail. >> reporter: can the gop force harris' hand on a trip.

house democrats blocked the bill from being introduced. we will find out what she's got to say. todd, jillian. jillian: griff, thank you. a growing number of liberals calling on supreme court justice steven briar to call it a career, the renewed push for his retirement comes after senate minority leader mitch mcconnell said the rules applied after justice scalia's death in 2016 would apply in 2024 if the gop win back the majority. take a listen. >> no, i don't think that either party, if it controlled -- if it were different for the president would confirm a supreme court nominee in the middle of an election. jillian: democrats have accused republicans of hypocrisy for confirming supreme court justice amy coney barrett during an election year in 2020 after blocking merrick garland in 2016. the state of florida now one of 15 states to require a moment of prayer, moment for prayer in

public school classrooms. the governor signed a bill monday that ensures students get one minute for prayer or meditation. take a listen. >> the idea that you can just push god out of every institution and be successful, i'm sorry, our founding fathers did not believe that. we have an opportunity here to really protect the religious freedom of everybody who is going to school k-12 in the state of florida. jillian: the one minute for reflection was already an option for schools but after july 1st it becomes mandatory. todd. todd: thank you. 32 minutes after the hour now. the fairfax county school board in virginia under fire after one of its members gave a speech offering a very harsh warning to grads. listen. >> we struggle with human greed, racism, extreme versions of individualism and capitalism, white supremacy, growing wealth gap, disease, climate crisis, extreme poverty amidst luxury and waste right next door.

and the list goes on. todd: joining us with his reaction, fairfax county school district dad gary aiken. the word jihad did not come up once in my high school graduation, how about yours? >> todd, thank you very much for having me on this morning to discuss this very important topic. i think it's important for your viewers to know that the comments here, her incendiary comments are not the first example of divisive and anti-semetic rhetoric. several weeks ago she posted vile anti-semetic tweets on her social accounts which were linked to the official nonpartisan fairfax county school board page where she called israel an apartheid colonizer that desecrates the holy land and kills palestinians

and this caused huge outrage with jewish americans here in northern virginia and sparked outrage across all political lines and there were calls for her to apologize. she offered no apology. she dubbed down on it and -- doubled down on it and all of this was done on the final day of ramadan when she could have called for tolerance, when she could have called for dialogue. instead, she chose words that drove division. there's no surprise that at a graduation it's disgusting that she chose to drive further division. todd: here's a statement from the public schools. individual school board members have a right the to share personal views at any public event in which they're invited to speak. the opinions do not reflect the views of the school board or the school division. you mentioned all those events that led up to this speech. with that in mind, didn't the

school board know that this is exactly what they were going to get when this woman spoke? >> absolutely. and to say that school board members don't represent the school board, when they're at official school functions like a commencement mow any, -- ceremony are absurd. it doesn't stop there. the speaker who introduced her introduced her as a libyan american. she is a u.s. citizen. she was born here. before that, she he refused to put her hand over her heart for the pledge of allegiance. she refused at other ceremonies to stand for junior rotc cadets. and during the pledge of allegiance at justice high school's commentment they changed the words in the pledge from under god to under a law. so the idea that none of this was sanctioned, none of this was preapproved, that nobody proof read her speech and said maybe

you should moderate here, maybe the word jihad doesn't belong, the idea that nobody read the speech, nobody went over the other things that happened at the commencement that angered parents, rightly, was not reviewed is just absurd on its face. todd: completely disingenuous. after all these kids have been through the past year and-a-half with lockdowns and remote learning, all these kids probably wanted was a speech that said go out there and get em, kids. instead they got this. gary, we appreciate your time this morning. thank you, sir. >> thank you very much, todd. jillian: take a live look at orlando where florida's been dealing with some thunderstorms. looks okay there right now. in fact, let's get senior meteorologist janice dean's opinion on this. how they doing in florida? how are you doing? >> i'm doing well how about yourself? jillian: excellent. >> we have tropical trouble to talk about. not too bad. we'll start out with

temperatures, that's called the tease. we want to make sure you continue to watch the weather forecast. we have 60s in new york, 63 in chicago. we have a couple thunderstorm warnings across the northwest and then we have some showers and thunderstorms across the mid-atlantic and florida, by the way. they've got the potential for some showers and thunderstorms later on this afternoon. this is tropical storm bill. yes. but you know what, bill is like bill hammer, very kind and gentle an not going to affect us across the northeast. it is going to weaken as well. that's not reflective of bill hammer. todd: it's like going all off to the side, he's doing the hammer lean. >> we're watching the bay of campici that is potentially developing over the next couple days and potentially affecting the gulf coast. we'll have to wait and see. here's the forecast today.

across the southwest and the west where it's very warm, 117 in phoenix, that's not something to joke about and the temperature's going to remain very warm across the central u.s. we love bill hemmer. todd: hemmer time. speaking of -- can i tap in jd for that story. i feel completely inappropriate to be part of it. jillian: you're going to want to stick around. todd: you're taping in. jillian: we have one story to get to before that. todd: time now, 38 minutes after the hour, a north korean defector has a warning for cancel culture, it's coming up next. jillian: janice, you're coming with me to illinois so we can get pulled over by this cop. >> oh, hi. jillian: he's burning up social media. we'll tell you about it. ♪ if you start me up. ♪ if you start me up i'll never stop

university and being taught to follow a specific narrative hit a little bit too close to home. listen. >> every day i go to the classroom and they tell me in order for us to create a safe place, you need to stop asking the truth. and that's what it was in north korea, that they told us in order for us to be protected by the leader you should stop questioning and that was exactly at columbia i had to go through. >> obviously, there are very significant differences between living in a totalitarian regime and the consequences she faced there versus an ivy look schoole school in united states but she thinks the education is stripping them of their ability to think critically. jillian: her interview was so shocking, very eye opening. if anyone knows who this officer

is please tell us, or me. >> okay. listen to this. if you missed it last hour, we got it for you again. he's the star of our show this morning. the illinois state police posted his picture on their facebook page and then people on social media are begging to get pulled over. so melissa on facebook says this. i think i just broke the law. i'm not sure which one. but i most definitely did. leslie also chiming in, agree, what county in particular do i need to have my seat belt off and speeding to ensure i get a ticket by him. laura also weighing in, if i get pulled over by him i might have a heart attack and need cpr. todd, i like what you said. we're not advocating unsafe driving. jillian: we are not. todd: sorry i to bring everybody down. continue your push. jillian: those comments are hilarious. there are some dirty comments. >> there are 3,000 of them too. yeah. the illinois state police facebook page a has never been

four mass shootings a brooklyn nabbed broad daylight and this in 2 hours. jillian: backlash continues across the nation. tomi lahren joins us live to react. tomi, good to see you this morning. >> oh, good to see you. really, is any surprised of the defund the police movement resulted in crime spikes across the nation? it's the most predictable thing that could have happened in our country and exactly what happens when you let the democrat party who has emboldened and pop played and celebrated and excused the blm, antifa, defund the police movement, that's what happens when you let them become in charge. this is what you get across the country. jillian: let me ask you, do you think policing has changed for good across america? >> i hope not. something american people need to stand about policing today. i only know this because i spend so much time talking to officers. officers are not afraid because

their job has become more dangerous. it has always been a dangerous job. they do it not because it's a job but because it's a calling. what has changed is that police officers are being put in this impossible position where they are not able to use all the tools in their toolbox in order to defend and protect their cities and their own lives. when you put them in that impossible situation when there is warranted use of force, they have to choose between letting them, their own lives be taken or between using that warranted use of force, they are put in that position and many don't want to be in that position and they don't want to do this job anymore and for good reason. todd: look at these numbers, big city homicides skyrocketing from last year to this year. i always say last year wasn't that particularly good this year much worse. atlanta 58%. minneapolis 81%. and look there portland 5 3%. tomi, why though would anyone in this right mind push this version of america you are

seeing right there on your screen? >> you know, we have talked about this before it doesn't make any sense, but the whole defund the police movement and blm movement it looks and sounds good on social media or in a tweet. a lot of folks want to get behind that to be a part of something. in patrol car think, so dangerous for all communities and americans. the democrat are going to have to own that when it comes to midterms in 2024. they have to own that they're the party of lawlessness. this culture of lawlessness spread across our country. emboldened criminals and thugs and bad people to believe they don't have consequences for their actions. or, if they do have consequences they believe they can get out of it with a social media video. they believe that they have got public opinion and public perception in their corner. so that has fostered this new wave of emboldened and elm brazened on the streets. chosen to refund their police or demonize their police force and you get the perfect storm of what you are seeing right now

and nobody benefits from this. jillian: we have a minute left, tomi. hard to believe we are saying this. we could have said this a long time ago and the ability to do things outdoors. california is reopening for business today. your thoughts? >> yeah. i love the fact that all the headlines are saying that governor gavin newsom is allowing california businesses to reopen. nobody has to allow you to exercise your right. but, at the end of the day, this is because governor gavin newsom is terrified of his impending recall. he will be recalled. i am very confident in that at the end of the day, i hope that californians understand the tier vane not going to end because reopening. remember what this government has done. remember his failed leadership and remember it's your opportunity it and obligation to recall him because the tyranny is not over yet. is he talking about a vaccine verification system which is no different than a vaccine passport. californians as they say stay woke and pay attention. todd: have you on if newsom does

that with the vaccine verification system. meantime don't miss tomi's brand new special save california out tomorrow. new show no interruption on catch on fox nation. tomi, thank you. jillian: good to see you. thank you. and thanks for watching this morning. we will see you back here tomorrow 4:00 to 6:00 a.m. have a good day and "fox & friends" starts right now. bye-bye. ♪ ♪ >> we are just one day away from the commander-in-chief's highly anticipated faceoff with vladimir putin. >> is he a worthy adversary. >> his job to calm everything down i'm not sure if people want to calm. >> speculation about a lab leak is baseless. >> this as video came by sky news australia reportedly shows live bats inside the wuhan lab. >> hundredson introduce ago bill bar kamala harris from using air force 2. when asked why she hasn't visited the southern border. she laughed. this is not a laughing
