just started shooting him. ainsley: it is so scary right now. crime is up in every single city. if you put in a state or city's name and put shootings or crime, and you put news, guaranteed there will be a story about some sort of crime in your community this morning. the cops are getting defunded, they are not being supported by their local communities and so they're quitting the job. brian: right. so let's take a look at some of these numbers and the disconnect on the political front. talk about stabbings and rapes and attacks and homicides, the numbers are -- i mean the numbers are. ainsley: staggering. brian: homicides up 58% in atlanta. that's why you see what is happenings in buck head. we will gut our own stuff. new york city the guy that's leading right now is the one who talks a little bit about law and order. it's the number one issue in america. portland, you see it almost daily, it's up 533% in terms of

homicides. chicago, los angeles, philadelphia stunning numbers. so what's -- what are people going to do to change this? why would they keep electing the people that keep defunding the law and order, the men and women in blue, yet, they want -- they want some type of feel of safety in their communities, but they elect the people that seem to be defunding it. either there is going to be a watershed of elections of candidates that are going to be changing the philosophy or it's going to get worse and worse. ainsley: over 40% increase in killed police officers so far this year. i started looking through some of these cities, you mentioned buck head the lennox square mall too dangerous to go there anymore. used to be one of my favorite places to shop. we would go there to shop if we had the opportunity. gunfire at the cheesecake factory. macy employees shot. gun battle outside of bloomingdale's. april a 60-year-old woman severely beaten in the parking

lot and they took her purse. two it teenagers shot at the apple store. a man broke into an apartment, climbs a fire escape. a 10-year-old little girl woke up with man at the bottom of her bed. he was expose and rubbing himself against her feet. crime is up all over this city. in portland a 19-year-old was shot yesterday and died. he was shot in the st. john's neighborhood. 50 members of the police rapid response team. last summer council disbanded the team. this is crazy. steve: you mentioned buck head, rape is you will 83% there we all know that crime is surging right now. given what has happened over the last year. but just this assault on cops, "the washington examiner" took a look, the number of police officers rammed by vehicles, killed by gunfire or stabbed is up 40% over the first six months

of this year over last year. most famously, it was on april 2nd, where a u.s. capitol police officer by the name of william evans was rammed outside the u.s. capitol. a guy came at him with a gun. the guy died. the officer died. he laid in honor in the capitol rotunda. and then you have got this story. the cover of the "new york post," let them loose. so many, hundreds and hundreds of the people who were involved in the crime wave in the wake of the demonstrations last summer, the d.a.s have just decided you know, it's going to take a lot of resources. let's let them off the hook, what's handy for the pandemic for a lot of looters they were wearing masks. the cases would be slightly harder to prove. brian, to your point, about elections, tomorrow is primary election day here in new york city. and according to the latest poll from the "new york post," the

number one issue is crime. and so the progressives who have been pushing progressive things like bike lanes and $15 minimum wage, things like that, they're not going to win it looks as if the moderates are going to prevail because people are going look, i don't feel safe. i can't take the subway anymore. brian: the moderate left. ainsley: amazon, they were filming in washington square park, this was back a few months ago in april. and this guy walks onto the set and just starts this huge fight. everyone in the crew they said they were shaken to their core. in that same park two nyu students were assaulted. it is so dangerous here my app., i downloaded that app. called citizen. and it just goes off constantly. of any crime that is in your surrounding area. brian: the thing is, it is not just new york, it is every major city and the thing they have in common is left wing mayors who think criminal first. james craig is going to be running for office, former

detroit police chief it seems, and is he talking about what he has seen. >> our profession is in a crisis right now. and when you talk about issues like bail reform, the courts are not using common sense. they're putting these violent predatory criminals back in our community. the other big issue, some of the mayors in these cities are failing miserably. just look at chicago. lori lightfoot talks about what's dangerous in the cops are dangerous? no, she is dangerous. people who live in the most vulnerable communities in chicago, south and west chicago, vulnerable communities, who speaks for them. they want effective policing. where are the support for men and women. anti-police rhetoric? it's not a surprise that police officers are leaving in large numbers. steve: is he absolutely right. the lead editorial in the post about how the das are letting everybody go. it reads, in new york people were caught on camera pulling up suv stealing goodbye the trash

bagful and driving off. this is a peaceful protest? and this is social justice? and, yet, the bronx d.a., the manhattan d.a. say they can't prove the cases. safe in their smug purchase judge and jury. the das will be welcome at aoc fundraiser, justice and what is right be damned. brian: let's use all our focus to see if donald trump paid his taxes in 1984. steve: it's a sad commentary. brian: talk about are origin of the virus. if we are going to get to the bottom of this, it's going to be massive international pressure. legitimate investigative team into china in the wuhan area at that institute to go through the paperwork. the stuff that has not been deleted off computer screens. but right now their push is to get the w.h.o. back in there when the report that they got back they even said when they received it this is something that needs to be continued. but jake sullivan believes that they put pressure on the

international community at the g-7 in nato to get behind a push to get china to be more expansive and open. they said at the risk of, i don't know, being isolated from the world community, we know that's not going to happen. listen to this. '. >> what joe biden did in europe this week was rally the democratic world to speak with a common voice on this issue for the first time since covid broke out. president trump wasn't able to do it. president biden was. it is that diplomatic spade work rallying the nations of the world, imposing political and diplomatic pressure on china that is a core part of the effort we are undertaking to ultimately face china with a stark choice. either they will allow in a responsible way investigators in to do the real work of figuring out where this came from, or they will face isolation in the international community. brian: no they are not, please. ainsley: who is going to hold

them accountable if we are not. steve: china is laughing at that holding china accountable by the world community. that's it? look, nobody is going to stop buying their stuff. and china is going to keep selling it to everybody and they are going to clam up and not tell anything. kevin mccarthy was on the channel yesterday. ainsley: i loved what he said. steve: he said we have -- here in this country, joe biden is obviously not going to do anything. so what we need to do is the nih has got to stop giving money to countries like china, iran, north korea or russia. they need to limit the number of visas, he said, lift sovereign immunity so 600,000 americans who died can sue and the list goes on and on. ainsley: stop funding the w.h.o. but wind gave them 240 million no strings attached in the early days. deny function of funding in wuhan and declassify all the intel. steve: what about the olympics? ainsley: to move the olympics out of beijing. steve: pull them out. brian: problem is i understand

the sentiment if we pull out of the olympics in beijing they are not coming here. we will back to 198 -- ainsley: should made that decision a long time ago. brian: there is next year. the games over in los angeles. pull them out of beijing it will be like 1980 and 1984 again. steve: it's all about national pride and china is proud that they have got the olympics. if the united states says hey, look, they are not being forthcoming, let's just not go. we have done that before why not? brian: 1980. ainsley: john ratcliffe former dni. he was talking about biden's strategic covid plan. he said there is no one word about covid-19 or the would you man virus. because they all have interactions with china. their family members do. they have business dealings in china. they don't want to talk about it or put pressure on china. brian: the idea is had france and it germany have no interesting in getting involved trade war with china and sell

their products there and receive them. they are doing a good job making sure huawei is not going to be part of like italy. they backed out of the belton road. there is progress. dr. fauci i think is beginning to feel the pressure. instead of getting cake walk through every single interview. he hopped on a podcast of the "new york times." he went ahead and addressed his critics. here is the quote. as essential as a scientist that you evolve your opinion. your recommendations based on the data as it evolves. that's the reason why i say people who then criticize me, they are actually criticizing science is just not true. the thing is you said it wasn't going to be a problem. you said not to wear activist movement it became a problem. then you said we had to wear a mask and two masks. and then you indicated we had to wear goggles at which time you recommended we shut down basically the entire economy at which time you never brought up your concerns about the origin of the virus and the fact is we were prepared for the wrong test when this things came aboard. we were told get ready for sars 1.

it was sars 2. we still haven't figured out how it happened. here's the thing, he never acknowledges when is he wrong. he just moves on and no one ever holds him accountable. taking a deep breath, what just happened? he does not like the pressure. he can't handle one or two tough questions. as soon as he hops on with a real anchor and reporter. he falls apart. steve: he was asked about the mask mandate and flip-flopping. he says yi flip flop. that's the way science work you work with the data you have at the time. unfazed by the criticism. shocked he has been compared to adolf hitler and he said the worst part of the job is when his wife and children wind up getting death threats. brian: how many people's lives are just absolutely destroyed by his recommendations? how many cities just completely shut down. how many people died because he wasn't ready for the right test and didn't even admit it and didn't come forward with it and how much power did he have in the international community does

he still have if he stood up and said i can't stop this virus because china has not told me what it is and how it started. do you realize the ripple effect that would have had he had the responsibility and guts to do that a year ago? it would have had a huge impact he is known internationally. ainsley: there was talk about new variant the one that's affected india the delta variant. doctors are concerned about that this fall. 75% are eligible for vaccinations in this country and that's not enough. this thing is so contagious. steve: the worry is it's going to boomerang. ainsley: we will know in the next few months. brian: if you have the vaccine not hit you hard. don't have the vaccine. you have a choice. country lucky. two great vaccines, maybe three if you like johnson & johnson. maybe 4 if something else is coming out i believe very shortly. you are making choices. that's called a choice. ainsley: did you see over the weekend that guy i saw this on yahoo news. he was getting another shot. he already got the two shots from one company. then he was getting another shot

with another company. steve: the problem with the delta variant, the problem with what is going on right now in the u.k., is remember they said we don't have enough shots for everybody, so you can go longer, months and months. one shot of the pfizer or moderna is only 30% effective against the delta. that is why they are having such a problem over there and that's why they are worried it could be a problem here. brian: shots and strategy. it was pressure on us. boris johnson said i'm going to give everyone one shot rather than give everyone two shots because we need to stop this thing right away. we said no the test was done with two shots. it's not up to us to ad-lib it and i give our scientific community credit for saying i would rather do it the right way than try play catch up. the u.k. made a bet there now they are still shut down because of it. steve: they did.

the thinking was at the time one shot is better than no shots. unfortunately one shot is not two shots. and you need both shots. ainsley: we're going to talk to senator tom cotton coming up. 7:00 this morning, he has been pushing that lab leak theory. we'll chat with him. steve: from the get-go. he was there at the very beginning. as you can see it is a very busy monday and we have got even more news with jillian. jillian: that's right. good monday morning to you. let's go ahead and begin with a fox news alert now. we are following this story. look at this video. a horrific crash in alabama kills a firefighter, his 9mond daughter and 8 children on a bus from a charity for neglected youth. officials say standing water on the road from tropical depression claudette likely cause cars to hydroplane causing the multivehicle decision. it happened saturday 40 miles south of montgomery go. to extreme weather. overnight a tornado and rain slammed a chicago suburb. calling it a life threatening

watch. >> another one, at the 72nd hole this time for rahm. >> celebrating first father's date along with first major title. he is the first spaniard to win the u.s. open. earlier in the day though a man dropped his clothes and began hitting golf balls on the 13th fairway. he was taken away by police. but, what a sequence of events for jon rahm the last few weeks. brian: walked off the court? steve: he got pulled off because he had covid. he was so close to his first big one. then it comes back on father's day with his baby. ainsley: hindsight he would have still chosen this outcome. brian: is streaking back do you know? wasn't that back. jillian: not in my life. brian: i'm surprise we are going back to that as a country. jill. ainsley: i think we report on that quite often regularly in

our news. brian: when is the last time we had a streaker. jillian: a baseball game recently. will. jillian: iaiaia. steve: rodney danger field movie? ainsley: will ferrell. his wife kicks him out of the house and he moves in a fraternity house. [laughter] jillian: someone at home i hope you got that one. steve: jillian, we are busy studying the news. steve: what happens in people are in their houses so long. i'm going to go to the golf course and run around naked. brian: will ferrell entertained the country the last year and a half. ainsley: i have watched them all. i did shawshank yesterday because all the new ones. i love that movie. brian: i'm waiting for ted lasso to start up again. ainsley: me too. ainsley: happy father's day, what did you do? steve: mrs. doocy made mia lovely dinner and we

>> i understand the bipartisan plan only provides about 25% of the money that the president asked for about $580 billion. but the point goes beyond that how do you go forward? right now, in this moment in history and not address the terrible climate crisis that we face and transform our energy system, working people are struggling. it is time we paid attention to the needs of working people and when we do that, when we deal with climate, when we deal with infrastructure, and we deal with home healthcare, when we deal with child care, we can create millions of good-paying jobs. that somewhat american people want. brian: does he ever get sick of saying the same thing over and over again he? just noticed every single thing you could possibly imagine for a human being to have, he wants to give it away for free or wants to tax the rich who have had it too good for no lock.

you have said that when has this ever worked before. ainsley: is he not happy with the infrastructure plan, the proposal because it's a lot less money than he want. original plan more man 2 trillion. 11 of them consider voting for it. 1 trillion. he says doesn't include enough on climate change. republicans are saying we are concerned withdrew infrastructure. steve: right. ainsley: bridges, tunnels, that kind of thing. steve: when bernie goes on television and says look, i'm good with all the real stuff but i want a bunch of the other newly defined infrastructure stuff, like the social stuff, and his emphasis in that particular soundbite was regarding climate change. now, later today, 4:00. if you have got fox nation, have you got to click over to watch "tucker carlson today" because is he going to talk to a physicist who talks a little bit about how the world is being sold a bill of goods when it comes to climate change, we hear it all the time. every time there is a big storm they say see that storm?

it's because of climate change. this guy says people who know what's going on know that it is not an existential threat. here is steven coon. >> when i hear people talking about existential threats, i'm reminded of a line from the princess bride movie. he keeps using the word inconceivable. and eva longoria keeps saying to him you keep using that word i don't think it means what you think it means. can i guarantee that you senator sanders, president biden, ambassador kerry, secretary granholm have never read the science because you need to be a scientist in order to do that. it is a failure of the scientific community not to stand up and say guys, you know you have over egged the custard. you really -- you really need to be much more circumspect in how you talk about this. and, of course, that gets then picked up by the politicians. and the media love to talk about

catastrophes. brian: the princess bride, was that under giant billie crystal? ainsley: billie crystal. steve: as long as will farrell. brian: an nyu professor. not easy to be an ny. professor and not believe that climate is real. he believes it's not settled science. he is a department of civil and urban engineering there. i would say this on the actual infrastructure itself, it looks like they agreed about 1 trillion. you would think that would be pretty cool. not really. what they're going to do, if it does work, is agree to the 1 trillion. get the 11 republicans, and almost the next day they are coming with another package with elder care, child care, school lunches, climate change. ainsley: that's fine but don't call it infrastructure. brian: no, it's not really fine because if they do it on simple reconciliation, it is going to be at least $4.2 trillion, no one even brings up inflation which last week they said is

going to continue to be a problem from frn permanent. we have huge infrastructure. if the republicans say i will go along with this. then they will get hit in the face with 4.2 trillion. ainsley: it's split 50/50. the senate is they still have to convince 10 republicans to go along with it. brian: word is manchin is going to go along with it if you go along with the 1 trillion for republicans, he goal along with the second half. that's the crazy thing. they act like this is gutsy to spend 4.2 trillion that we don't have. we are 33 trillion in debt and they go he is thinking like f.d.r. no. he isn't. f.d.r. had a war and depression to come out of. we are coming out of it alone. this is an agenda by a 70-year-old man who is convinced that he has had it wrong for 50 years. steve: let's see what they wind up doing. it will be so many progressives want a big number. and so many conservatives want a little number. the whole idea is to somewhere get into the middle but they are not even close.

brian: little number. 1 trillion is not little. that is more than we got after the 2008 crash of the economy. ainsley: 6:29 here on the east coast. coming up next. parents fears grow as critical race theory creeps into america's classroom. ilhan omar says it's just a figment of their imagination. one parent sounding the alarm is going it join us live ♪ oh, baby ♪ making me crazy ♪ it's making me crazy ♪ every time i look around ♪

it's not that they are opening up peculiars and saying okay, class, let's open up our critical race theory books. it's an -- the teachings are an outwork and outworking of critical race theory that is being woven into official curriculum. brian: so quisha,ing can you tell me if you agree you are not saying don't study the reasons behind civil war. you are not saying not talk about the evils of slavery. you are not saying leaving out jim crow or forget about the civil unrest that riddled the 160s. you are saying put that in history but don'tville nice people today. >> absolutely. and let's talk about the success of black americans in our contributions to this wonderful american society. those things are important. we want all of those things to be taught. the good, the bad, the ugly. that's not what critical race theory is. critical race theory is much more dangerous. it is teaching children that if you are white, heterosexual,

male, able-bodied you if you fall in that category you are automatically deemed an apressure. if you are anything other than that you are oppressed. that's not a society we want to have. and not something we want to impress upon our children. brian: i have never seen something come up from the grassroots like it has. if this isn't done not at the highest level in washington they talk about what's going to get republicans to win back the house and senate. i'm saying this from the school boards. board of education seat that pay very little and demand so much time. now people are running and demanding recall of those seats. that doesn't happen from the top down. but cornell belcher, who is a political operative on the democratic side. says the you critical race theory another tool in the boogie man toolbox to drive and inflame tribalism which republicans think helps them in elections. this is a trump 2.0 movement.

he says the whole thing is coordinated. what do you say? >> i say that it is the progressive policies, it's the policies of the democrat party that are actually oppressing people. it is -- i appreciate the g.o.p. and i appreciate conservatives and republicans come out and standing up for this and shedding light on this itch. we don't want racism. we don't want more racism. i am so confused on how democrats think that you can fight racism with more racism. so, this is not a talking point. this is not some conspiracy theory. this is real. and it's happening to our children and if we don't continue to stand up, they will continue to press it upon our children. and they poked the wrong people when it comes to momma bears when you mess with our kids, you have gone too far. brian: mom force liberty.org for more information. quisha, thank you for telling

cops told me just go home. you have insurance. you will be fine. you just come back in the morning. no protection at all. steve: your insurance ultimately did help you reopen and you are reopen today. there are a lot of small mom and pop organizations companies that didn't have insurance. they will never open up. you think that the city administration tied the hands of a lot of police officers during the looting, right? >> absolutely. i do not blame the nypd. i blame the city the officials the officers of the nypd because they didn't give them the support. they didn't give them the go ahead and make arrests. stop these looters. they were told just to stand back. steve: according to the post. in a memo, one of the das says he tells his prosecutors before dropping a case they should review a defendant's criminal history and determine whether

police could place the suspect at the scene. most of them were actually arrested at the scene with bags full of stuff. and whether the suspect caused any damage to the store. you wouldn't think that that would be hard -- a very high bar to cross. >> proof. go to the cameras. many merchants have cameras inside their stores. we are available to give the footage and no one came to us. steve: why do you think they are doing it? >> maybe it's hard work for them but what about us? we had a hard time getting back on our feet. not everyone recovered. like you mentioned, are not everyone has insurance. and they are still struggling. we were brushed off like nothing happened. it was too much work. yes, they are going to cause the pandemic, the closures and, there were people working from home from the court system. why do they need to put a task

force to tackle this problem? this is a problem. steve: it is a problem because those people who did the looting if there are no consequences, don't you think they're going to think can i do it again. >> it's a free ride. you want to lose? go ahead. go for it because you are going to get away with it. the looters know. these are criminals out there knowing the system. and the system has failed us. steve: new york is a crazy town. we have got a statement from the bronx d.a. we went forward with cases for which we had evidence and a complaining witness. some cases were dismissed but we held people accountable because we do not tolerate violence against bronx business owners. do you buy that? >> no, i don't. no efforts were made, period. let's be realistic. we were looted, nothing happened after that. we had to rebuild. and we have to keep strong. and they didn't even reach out at all. steve: yeah. well, we reached out to the manhattan d.a. for a statement. but they did not get back to us.

jessica, good luck to you and your business and we're glad you are reopen, finally. >> thank you so much. have a night day. steve: you bet. crazy story. all right. let's check in with adam klotz on the street of new york city and in front of 1221 avenue of the americas with the "foxcast." >> good morning, steve, yeah. as you said here in new york city. hot and steamy early this morning. not the case everywhere as we are tracking a couple of big weather systems i want to highlight. beginning with what is happening across portions of the midwest. big storms across chicago last night. that storm system now sweeping through detroit over toward cleveland. we have severe storm watching and alert in those areas. otherwise, right along that frontal boundary, that's where that heat and cold air is. i do want to leave you with this one. that is tropical storm claudette at the very trail end of north carolina. that's going to be shooting out into the ocean a little later today throssments big weather systems we are watching from fox square. guys, back in to you.

companies shut it down. yesterday, jake sullivan, who is the president's national security adviser, was talking over on one of the other channels about how we will get to the origins and it's not very optimistic about how the government is going to leverage the assets of the federal government to get china to give us the truth. here's jake sullivan. listen to this. >> what joe biden did in europe this week was rally the democratic world to speak with a common voice on this issue for the first time since covid broke out. president trump wasn't able to do it. president biden was. it is that diplomatic spade work. rallying the nations of the world, imposing political and diplomatic pressure on china that is a core part of the effort we are undertaking to ultimately face china with a stark choice. either they will allow in a responsible way investigators in to do the real work of figuring out where this came from or they

will face isolation in the international community. steve: how terrified is china right now, senator, because if they don't cough up the information, we will isolate them internationally. >> yeah, i don't think xi jinping is quaking in his boots that joe biden is not going to invite him to coffee at the next g-20. it's not surprising that this crew doesn't traffic in tblets enemies. only people they seem to threaten are allies like israel. nor should it require china's cooperation. first off, china is not going to cooperate. they are not going to open those labs and let american scientists and researches go in. second, there is more than enough evidence to hold china accountable now. as you said from the very beginning i noted this virus could have very well originated in those labs. it didn't come from a remote mountain village next to cave full of bats it came from a city larger than new york. a few blocks down the street from the lab where they research these viruses a run by a woman literally nicknamed the bat lady. well past time the biden

administration began imposes consequences on china like pulling most favored nation status or pulling all the visas that chinese communist officials get to get to country over year. ainsley: stop giving gain of function research to countries like that. how did you feel when the left started talking about the lab leak theory and finally write about it on social media without being blocked? >> well, ainsley i have got to say, i wish i had been wrong from the very beginning about this virus and all of its effects around the world and here at home. you know, i wish i had looked back and been called an alarmist. i wasn't unfortunately. i think it's he a auto plirnd that we shouldn't allow companies like facebook and twitter to control the terms of our discourse. we might have gotten to the truth a lot faster if we had had an open, honest discussion and not censorship for big from big tech companies. brian: i want you to hear what dr. fauci said yesterday. the second time really responding to criticism after walking on water for the first

13 months of this virus. not here but other places. listen. >> it essential as a scientist that you evolve your opinion and your recommendations based on the data as it evolved. and that's the reason why i say people who then criticize me about that are actually criticizing science. brian: here we go again. why don't you take this from here. >> yeah, tony fauci is not acting as a scientist or doctor anymore. he is acting as a democratic party activist in a white lab coat. tell us what science or data backs up the biden administration's stupid mask mandate for airports and airplanes are you more likely to get the grofs airport or shopping mall or airplane with its massive filtration systems? is it necessary to kick off a family you a cities particular

child because they will not wear a face mask: from the beginning will tony fauci has been giving politicized at vice. he has admitted changed advice on herd immunity levels not what he sees in the data or what he thinks the american people are ready to hear. why doesn't he tell us what the facts are. brian: he does have power and international standing. can you imagine if he used that power to say i don't know what this virus is. china is not giving me answers. i can't prepare the cdc or recommend them for a test that's going to hit our shores. i don't know about the mutation because they are not being transparent. with all of that pressure, that would have helped solve the problem. that would have humanized him more. i'm an elite virologist. i have this international standing. and i am not getting answers. that would have helped. instead, he subtly took his points, his talking points from the left and took most of his

stat tour to go at trump. >> yeah, there is no doubt about that. in fact, he seemed from the very beginning to be more concerned about protecting his own agency's reputation and his reputation and his friends in the science world around the world to include the scientists in this very lab in wuhan this his agency indirectly funded with hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars. so he was more concerned with cya than he was about being open and honest about what china was up to and what we didn't know because of china's deceitfulness. steve: when you look back now, given the ark of data that came in. study came out hydroxychloroquine helped people survive. that's one of the things that donald trump came out and said i have heard good things about it next thing you know fauci was standing over there and blows him up and the left wing applauds. the same thing with the lab leak and the mainstream media applauds as well. when you look at how many times, to your point, that essentially

is a politician in a lab coat, when you look at the number of times he just flew in the face of whatever donald trump was saying at the time, ultimately, there are a number of democratic strategists who thought at the time, you know, if we can show that donald trump has not done a good job trying to get us out of that pandemic, he could lose the election. certainly tony fauci did not help him. >> yeah, well, from the very beginning, the democrats saw this coronavirus pandemic as a way to defeat the former president in the election last year. basically things that he said or i said or some other republican said was immediately rejected by the quote, unquote, science. even though there wasn't a scientific basis for it even though there was not evidence against it and some of it has been proven correct in retrospect. again, it goes to show that tony fauci, almost from the beginning has been acting more as a democratic party activist in a white lab coat not as a neutral and objective public health

expert. ainsley: is anyone questioning why he is the leader and giving us advice when his agency was giving money for gain of function research to this exact lab? why is he in charge? isn't that a conflict of interest? >> yeah. he shouldn't be, ainsley. there is a lot of answers that he hasn't yet given the people that have been asking that question are republicans in congress. if it wasn't for the oversight we have conducted. i don't think it would have come to light that his agency has spun this lab. this lab is doing dangerous gain of function research to make this virus or these viruses more contagious. stuff that even barack obama said they shouldn't have been doing. brian: absolutely in 201. so, senator, this is going to be a big week for the senate. you got hr 1. and you are going to be voting on an infrastructure and see if there is any bipartisan there and see if another one 4.2 trillion to follow if you guys do pass a 1 trillion. let's talk about h.r. 1. here is senator bernie sanders, he said that if you don't pass this, you are allowing the republicans state by state with their legislatures to take away

the right to vote. listen. >> what we are trying to do is preserve democracy. and what republican legislatures and governors are doing in the most disgraceful way imaginable is to try to deny people of color, young people, poor people the right to vote. people with disabilities. that is outrageous. and i really, you know, we could disagree on all kinds of issues, but taking away the right of people to participate in american democracy is unacceptable and the congress must address that in any and every way. brian: i mean, that's the really idiotic argument he is making hr 1 nationalizes elections. joe manchin is offering a memo halfway point. make election day a holiday. require all states to give absentee ballots and end partisanship gerrymandering requiring voter i.d. you saw the memo. where do you stand? >> the republicans don't have a

plan to nationalize our elections, brian. we don't think we should nationalize our elections. we trust our states and counties and cities to run our elections. they have done a pretty good job of it for over 200 years. that bernie sanders line, i just got to say it's rich for a guy who hone mind in the soviet union to be criticizing republican governors and legislatures for undermining democracy. i mean, he said in an op-ed over the weekend that republicans like me are trying to start a new cold war with china. i guess he is still smarting from his loss in the first cold war with russia. this bill, just to give you one example of how bad it is, would actually take your tax dollars and send them to bernie sanders and any other politician running for office to run their campaigns. so,s think about that. are a can sans would be subsidizing bernie sanders campaigns. i don't think many americans want to see their tax dollars to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars going to support a politicians who they oppose attacking politicians they

support. you also mentioned gerrymandering. the process of rigging electoral districts. this bill would allow democratic operatives in all 50 states to draw district lines just like they have in places like maryland and illinois. and it's all built, guys. it's all built on a fabrication that republican governors and legislatures are somehow suppressing the votes. when in reality states like georgia are also passing laws that expand voting access democratic states like new york and delaware. all these states are making it is easy to vote and hard to cheat. bernie sanders doesn't like that second part. steve: immediately to, weight lifter by laurel hubbard first transgender athlete to compete at the olympic games. going to be a live medal con tender competing in the women's super heavyweight category august 2nd. have you spruced legislation that would do, what, regarding something like this?

>> yeah. this is very foolish. i mean, unfortunately i think all four of russ old enough to remember the 1988 olympics when the late great florence griffith joiner flow jo set the record in the 100-meter dash. it's still the world record today no woman has runner faster than flow jo do you know who has more than 70 boys in the last high school track season. gives you how different the athletic standards are in men and women's competition. why we have already had men and women's competitions from the olympics down to our high schools. and if we accept this kind of practice at the olympics, it won't be long before the left and maybe facebook and twitter and tony fauci are demanding that the science says we have to allow boys to compete in girls sports. that's why it's foolish for it to happen in the olympics. we have to protect girls sports in america against it. brian: where are the women? where are the women saying don't ruin this? where is the me too movement on this? >> it's a good question.

and it wouldn't surprise me if more female athletes speak out against it there is a reach why we have always had men and women's olympic sports and men and women's sports down to the grade school level. brian: everything. ainsley: there is a belgium weight lifter speaking bought it not fair. immediately to say they want to be caring and understanding of everyone. thank you so much, senator for being here. >> thank you all. ainsley: you are welcome have. a good day. good luck in week. jillian has headlines for us. jillian: good morning to you. to you the at home as well. let's begin with your weather this morning claudette regaining tropical storm strength as it hits carolina. landfall heavy rain and flooding across the south. claudette is blamed for 13 deaths including horrific pile up crash in alabama.

bar. matt gutierrez passing a note the size of a receipt he wrote, quote: if this guy is bothering you, put your ponytail on your other shoulder and i will have him removed. he is giving me the creeps. >> the quick thinking move now circulating on social media. the woman who posted the note on twitter thanked gutierrez for kicking out the unexpected guest. so,. steve: this guy is going viral. jillian: i'm curious more what was so creepish. steve: i don't know. brian: i haven't been to a situation like that in a while. last time i was in a bar surrounded by a lot of people with a woman with a ponytail. developing story hamill wouldn't be able to help her at all. steve: the bob. ainsley: been a long time right, brian? brian: right. steve: something to think about. brian: right. absolutely. steve: thanks, jillian. coming up on this monday, a new crisis is emerging at our southern border as we learn a dramatic amount of fentanyl is

ainsley: another indicator of the continued crisis at the southern border fentanyl seizures. nearly 75,000-pound of fentanyl have been appear prehanded this year already surpassing the entire amount seized last year. apprehensions were 300 percent higher than in may of 2020. my next guest, they each lost a child from fentanyl poisoning. joining me now is the president of victims of illicit drugs void and amy thatville the vice

president. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> amy, i will start with you. tell us what happened to your son. >> long story short, alexander had been experimenting for about a week with pills that he believed to be oxycontin and came to us one night. told us he had been taking pills the last two days and they really had a hold on him and he didn't understand why and he needed help. the next morning i reached out to a place for that help. they didn't get back to me. that night he took a pill that took his life. that pill had enough fentanyl to kill four people. ainsley: wow, 14 years old. >> 1 years old. just starting experimental phase. our children today do not have the luxury of experimental phase. it's deadly. ainsley: tell us about you, tell us about your son. >> my son daniel, when the pandemic started we had lock down i believe he got bored and

allegedly he went on to snapchat and connected with a drug dealer who had delivered a lethal counterfeit opioid one block away from our home and on march 31st in the evening he some time in the evening he took that pill and when i walked into his bedroom the next morning to wake him up, i found him he had pretty much passed away. luckily emergency services were able to bring him back and but he had lost all his brain function so his mother and i decided to retrieve all life-saving mechanisms for him on april the 6th and he passed away at 5:08 in the evening with his mother and in the bed with him stroking his beautiful hair and i holding his hand as he took his last breath. something no parent should ever have to go through. ainsley: so handsome. both of them had the whole world ahead of them. amy, your precious son is so

cute. amy, when you hear these statistics when you hear that a lot of teenagers experiment with drugs unfortunately. some of this fentanyl can just get into these drugs and they don't even know it. >> well, the pills themselves are fentanyl. they are marketed as the n-30 pill. these drug dealers market them as legitimate prescription pills when they know they are fentanyl. there is no other ingredient in there other than the binders. every batch that is homemade, these are homemade pills. they are not made in any scientific way they all contain deadly doses. ainsley: depose through your mind when you hear about the fentanyl and that the that particular advertises. >> i think the mexican drug cartel pose the greatest threat to the united states of america. what people do not understand, as amy has said, all of these pills that are being made south

of the border by the cartels are pure fentanyl. they are pills that are made to look exactly like pharmaceutical grade oxycodone, oxycontin or percocet and worse yet they are cutting the cocaine supply with fentanyl and children, which are the fastest growing segment of our society whoing away due to this scourge are dying due to this. it's incredible the amount of children dying. most people do not understand or not paid much attention to it due to the stigma of addiction. that's exactly what's happening right now. like i said before, my son thought that he was taking a pharmaceutical grade oxycodone pill and what he had truly takens is what we call a fenta pill and had taken his life very quickly. ainsley: this is a serious problem down on the border.

tunnel 2 towers ceo frank siller. welcome to both of you. thanks for joining us. christie, first off, while you wait to find out about the olympics, tell us what life was like before your home was adapted. >> yeah. my old house was pretty great but it was really not accessible at all. nothing was made for anybody with a disability. so, i had a wheelchair that lived in the garage and a wheelchair that lived on the main floor of the house. and then when it was time to go to bed i would crawl upstairs to bed and if i had to go to the bathroom in night i would climb out of bed and down the hall like a little kid. brian: frank, not acceptable to you or your organization was it to hear these stories? >> these great heroes gave so much for our country, for our freedom and liberty. we better make sure that we take care of great heroes like sergeant christie gardner. 2006 christy was injured as she waited 15 years for a mortgage free smart home. and we're trying to make sure that we deliver, ready for this?

>> killings are up 50% from before covid. where is this coming from. >> remember, in georgia we were open up before the rest of the country, so our night clubs and our bars remained open. we had people traveling here from across the country to party in our city. we believe that giving at least 1,000 young people to work this summer will help. there is still so much work to be done. and until we deal with the systemic issues of gun violence in this country, how easily young people, people with mental illnesses can access guns in this country. ainsley: that's atlanta's mayor pointing blame for her city's crime rate. our next guest firing back calling out the left's anti-soft

on crime agenda. steve: georgia governor brian kemp joins us with more. governor, good morning to you. >> good morning, guys. steve: she is blaming everybody except her policies. she is talking about well, we were, thanks to your policies, georgia reopened before a lot of other places. and she is saying that's why there is such a surge in crime. but you look to the state to the south of you florida, i don't see similar numbers there. >> look, colorado, oklahoma, there were plenty of other states. south dakota was open. you know, people are tired of leaders blaming somebody else for problems that they have in their own jurisdiction, quite honestly, i know i'm fed up with it. for two months we are had a crime suppression unit working using extra state resources, emergency funding, to try to help with the problem because i hear about it every single day. and in just two months, by putting boots on the ground, officers on the street, and in the air, and working with state

and local partnerships, we have done almost 3100s arrests. we very apprehended 71 people who had outstanding warrants and we have impounded almost 300 vehicles going after street crimes. and we're not blaming that on anybody else. we're just doing something about it and it's time that she did as well. ainsley: if you look at buck head, murders up almost 50%, which is that neighborhood in downtown atlanta. robbery, aggravated assaults up 40%. car theft up 65%. lennox square mall gunfire at the cheese cake factory. macy employees shot. gun battle outside of bloomingdale's. in april a 60-year-old come severely beaten in the parking lot and they took her purse. two weeks ago go 15-year-olds shot and almost killed a security guard at the apple store. what's the real reason for all this crime? >> look, people shouldn't be scared because they simply want to get gas in broad daylight. we focus on buck head this weekend.

we stayed out late, you know, the bars have been -- or at least some bars have been associated with a lot of these gatherings of a lot of people. well, you know what? we were policing those when they closed this weekend. and it was very effective tactic. in fact, atlanta police department was thanking us for their partnership over the weekend. you know, we have got to start tackling the problem where it happens. they know where it is. they need someone to back their law enforcement agency up, back the men and women on the street up. and give them direction to go after these folks and send a message. that's what i have told our folks. we have got a great partnership with the atlanta police department. but they are having to ride with us because they can't chase anybody. it's hard to go after violent criminals when they run away from you and you can't chase them. you obviously have to be very smart about that. you know, i think there is a lot of reasons that you could potentially have this happening. but the fact is there is one way to stop it. and that's to go after them and

send a message and say, look, we are not going to put up with this anymore. you know, the judicial system in fulton county is a source of problem with this as well with the revolving door of these career criminals continuing to get out of jail the next day. and we're chasing them again. brian: yeah, i mean, the numbers are stunning. we went over in the first hour in case you missed it atlanta homicides up 58%. shootings up. shootings up 64%. the most egregious portland we have been watching it up 533% with shootings up 126%. it's very consistent. it's a very permissive attorney general district attorney and mayor who blames the cops first and crime is just a symptom of bad policing. no one is buying it. it's not making the average person safe. and i just won conservatorship when the backlash will begin. i want to talk about something else when we talk about elections. obviously the former president is very critical of you guys. for what happened after the

election. obviously there is still a conflict there. but one thing that happened over the weekend is that going through the voter roles, between unresponsive people, people moving, unable to validate ids, removed 100,000 outdated names from your voter roles. -- voterrolls. people are saying that outdated reaction. what do you say about that. >> let me talk about the last topic. the new fulton county sheriff are supportive after going after violent crimes. i want to make that point. us making sure the voter rolls are updated and secure. list maintenance, we are following federal law in this state. did i that nine years when i was secretary of state. the left was outraged as well. they act like nobody ever moves out of the state and doesn't notify the secretary of state's office that they are moving. so i think it's pertinent for the secretary of state's office to be following federal law when

it comes to list maintenance and updated. you need to remove deseize seized people. this is not only in georgia but states around the country. it's another example of these hollow talking points of the democrats that are really being hypocritical if you think abouting voting law 2.0, you know, month and a half ago, and now she is saying things like 15 days of early voting and voter identification when you vote are perfectly fine when it's joe manchin's bills and it's a compromise at the federal level. they can't have it both ways. in georgia it's easy to vote and hard to cheat. steve: there you go. new york is just wrapping up early voting here. i think they it 20 days twice as many in georgia. governor, real quick, i don't know how much time you spend on twitter, herschel walker, the legendary football player, put this out and we want you to kind of figure out what he is talking about. look here.

hey, what you hear there is hulk. that's what i call, you know, he's ready i'm getting ready and we can run with the big dogs. steve: so either he is going to open a car dealership or is he going to run for office. what do you think? >> well, one thing about herbal, herschel. is he a damn good dog. good american. you never know what he is going to do. he keeps i people thinking. i am sure people saw that and wondering what he is going to do. one thing about herschel, is he independent person he will do what he feels is right in his heart and his mind. we will see what happens. brian: do you want him to run? >> well, look, i think he brings a lot to the table. you know, running statewide in

this environment is very tough as you know. you have got have it in your heart. you have got to have it in your gut. that's a decision that he will have to make. ainsley: he is so loved throughout the country but especially in your state. i think he is going to do it. thank you so much, governor. >> have a great day. ainsley: you too. 7:48 on the east coast. coming up. a teacher offers her student extra credit to testify to lawmakers about critical race theory. joins us live as this radical curriculum seeps further into our classrooms. differently. wet teddy bears! wet teddy bears here! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ you'd never want leftover onion residue or any food residue on any of your surfaces. ...

steve: one pro critical race theory teacher in rhode island putting her finger on the scale it appears by enticing students to testify on an anti-critical race theory state bill and if they did that, they would get extra credit in her class. in an e-mail to her students, the teacher writing, "this bill essentially states that there should be no discussion of race or gender in classrooms, if you are a student in my class you will receive five points on your next unit test if you decide to testify and provide me with your written testimony." here with reaction is the president of parents defend ing education, and a

member of the independent women 's forum, nicole meele. hey, good morning to you. >> thanks for having me. steve: okay so it sounds like she's just trying to get student s to testify either way but didn't she first show the students what she was going to say to the committee? >> yes she was looking for student voices to add to her testimony and make it stronger, so students want good grades, they know what is expected of them, and so yeah, we'll give you what you want, ms. teacher, and it's disappointing because this is obviously a coordinated campaign to oppose this bill. steve: sure, so using kids in a classroom to push an agenda, a political agenda, and she was asking the students to become political. >> yes, there was a hearing and actually, hundreds of dozens of students testified or signed up to testify, which actually

forced out speakers from across the country who wanted to testify in support of the bill. steve: you know, i think it was ilhan omar that said this is not really happening in any schools across the country. is it? is it happening there, in arlington, virginia? >> it is happening everywhere, we have a tip line. we're receiving between 100 and 200 tips a week from across the country, public school, private school, perochial schools, red states, blue states it's everywhere. steve: and why should parents hear about this and say hey i don't think i'm comfortable with that or they might say hey, i'm okay with that. >> right certainly people should know what's happening in their classrooms because bear in mind this is being done to our children with our tax dollars in our name. everybody has the right to know what their child is learn and if you don't like how your child is being taught about issues, such as race, such as gender, such as politics you should be able to go and talk to your school about it but schools are

discouraging that and shaming families. steve: do we have any idea how many students actually at the suggestion of this teacher did testify for extra credit? >> i believe 40 had signed up although most of them did not actually answer the phone. steve: all right, interesting stuff. well, i think we did ask for a comment from the school, have not heard back from them yet. nicole neily, we thank you very much for joining us from arlington, virginia. >> thank you. steve: we'll step aside let's do this one more time look at the last hour we got dan bongino, clay travis and nancy grace all on deck for the final hour of " fox & friends" that starts in just a couple of minutes. >> ♪ we made usaa insurance for members like martin. an air force veteran made of doing what's right, not what's easy. so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage.

with this virus, the belt and road program is essentially extorting these developing countries, don't fall for it. we do not want to allow this to happen, in fact, the president says i've got my own belt and road program, going to build it back better internationally. he was very vague on the details , but he wants to give these developing nations something else to choose from, for example, pakistan and others and italy for a brief time chose to go in bed with china. that's a problem. the question was there any reason to believe that you convinced any of our allies that china is the problem, and that we have to stay consolidated and united against them, especially when it comes to this virus. steve: well and you look at the virus, it has killed over 600,000 americans. we need to know how it started, and so finally, feeling the pressure about a month and a half ago the president said okay , i've ordered the intelligence community to have a top-down review of everything we know, because apparently, one agency thinks it

could be a lab leak, and the other thinks it could be one of those things that jumps from a bat or something like that that got until august to finish up that report and report to the president, plus they are also working with the w. h. o. to try to get china to go ahead and say okay, do you know what? we didn't give you all of the stuff the first time so now we'll come clean. like that's going to happen. jake sullivan, the president's point person on this , was on television yesterday. he was asked about the origins, because now, a lot of people think it could have started in a lab, and they unleashed this poison on the world. wait until you hear what he says , jake sullivan says, the administration is going to do, if china does not cough up the information. it's shocking. >> what joe biden did in europe this week was rally the democratic world to speak with a common voice on this issue. for the first time, since covid broke out, president trump wasn't able to do it, president biden was, and it is that

diplomatic spade work, rallying the nations of the world, imposing political and diplomatic pressure on china that is a core part of the effort we are undertaking to ultimately face china with a stark choice. either they will allow in a responsible way investigators into do the real work of figuring out where this came from, or they will face isolation in the international community. steve: so if they don't help with the investigation, which they will not, they will be isolated internationally. ainsley: we will not issue threats against them. steve: no. ainsley: so biden has this 200 page, it's a plan. if we don't hold him accountable who will? biden has this plan on covid-19 and he doesn't have one word in it about the origins of covid-19 or the wuhan virus, and john ratcliffe, former dni, said because they all had interaction s with china, all their family members have, business dealings with china, kevin mccarthy goes on to say this is what he should be doing.

declassifying the intel on the origins, deny function of funding in wuhan, deny the nih the ability to give grants to china, iran, north korea, to russia, limit visas for china, lift the sovereign immunity so that you if you lost a loved one here in america, that you can sue and have justice for your family and stop funding the w. h. o. instead biden gave them $240 million, no strings attached in their early days. brian: right, so it's amazing how much time has passed before people came around to understand that the whole bat thing has a lot of problems with it including some scientists, washington post goes around with five or six scientists today around the horn declaring that they don't know a lot, some are dug in on the animal theory. others on the lab theory, but keep in mind too, for those people who think that the military option and maybe this was intentional or not, are fueled by the fact that military was in charge of clean ing up the lab afterwards,

the general was put in command. why would the military be in charge of cleaning up a science lab if they weren't somehow culpable or involved. we'll have to see. here is senator tom cotton, on the other big story, anthony fauci and his inability or unwillingness to look into that theory early on from day one and using his international pretige to press for answers. he, when pressed, keeps talking about well if you don't believe me and you want to be critical of me you just don't like science. here is senator tom cotton on that fact. >> tony fauci is not acting as a scientist or a doctor anymore , as a democratic party activist in a white lab coat. he's seen from the very beginning to be more concerned about pro account ting his own agency's reputation and his reputation and his friends in the science world to include the scientists in this very lab in wuhan, which his agency indirectly funded with hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars so he's more concerned with cya than he was about being open and honest about what china was up to and what we didn't

know, because of china's deceitfulness. steve: and what china is up to now is they're facing the international isolation. so what they're doing so they are pushing the narrative, why aren't you guys looking at the united states? there are suggestions that covid was circulating in the united states in late november, or december, of 2019, so you could say that it's started in china, but look at the united states. so in other words, deflection. they're not going to help us. ainsley: now scientists over the weekend were talking about a new variant, the one in india, the delta variant and how they are worried that could pop-up here and spread very quickly because it's very contagious, and they said only 75% of the united states is eligible for the vaccines and one doctor said that's not enough to make sure that we're protected. brian: so the president of the united states just recently getting on to being curious about the origins of the virus. now, he has shown almost no curiosity to what is the origin of the invasion on our southern border and the vice president

totally detached even though she got the job. $2 billion been spent on migrant kids from other countries. couldn't those $2 billion been spent on our kids in this country? ainsley: we're putting them in hotels. brian: yeah, now we have all these accommodations for them. we have teachers for them. we are giving them all the accommodations that maybe perhaps were not getting in their country but we eventually get the go sign from this administration to now is the time to come. 8,000 pounds minimum of fentanyl already this year seized at the border. does not really interest this administration, who refuses to call it a crisis. steve: look at the jaw dropping numbers. a quarter of a million pounds of marijuana, methamphetamines, cocaine and fentanyl that's the super-deadly stuff. how is it getting in here? well, people at our southern border. during the past four months, migrant adults expelled, at our southern border, 350,000 under

what is called title 42, just during the trump adminitration, as the coronavirus was starting to take off, the administration started this title 42 and essentially it said, okay because of the pandemic, if you're a migrant family and you come to our southern border we're going to turn you around and tell you to go back to mexico because we don't know if you've got covid, and they've been doing it but now, and this is curious, now the biden administration, according to axi os is thinking about ending this , because apparently , it is being challenged in court, by the acl u, and if they go to court, what is going to happen is the biden administration doj will have to defend the trump adminitration's points about keeping people from coming into the country during a pandemic. they don't want to do that so instead, what they are thinking about doing, is simply, quietly, ending it, which means no longer will they stay at the southern border stop, you can't come in

because of the pandemic. so many people have gotten the shots and the death rate is lower, now they are going to say do you know what? you can come on in, as long as you get a shot or you've had a shot, and stuff like that. ainsley: well the problem is, yeah it breaks our heart when we see the little children down there, or we know that we could give them a better life, but they have to do it the right way we can't just open our borders to any single person around the globe that wants to come to our country. steve: we're about to. brian: we should down the northern border, we don't let canadians in but we're letting people from 12 or 100 countries in everywhere from haiti to romania? all of a sudden on the northern border there's a no go sign on the southern border it's all hell is breaking loose and we're going to make it worse. ainsley: but more than that it's not just these families or children. there are a lot of criminals down there that are using this to their advantage, and they are lining their pocket books and wallets because they are getting paid thousands of dollars.

i've heard $15,000, $10,000, to bring a child across the border, and many of them are also bringing drugs. we interviewed earlier on the show two families here in america. their children did not realize it, but took two different drugs , and there was fentanyl in both medicines. one young man, daniel puerta, very handsome, 16-year-old young boy, and he thought he was taking oxy oxycontin and there he is with his dad and his dad was on with us earlier and said he was actually was taking fentanyl and his mom, they found him unresponsive, in the middle of covid. the mom, they rushed him to the hospital. there was no-brainer function. they decided to eventually have to take him off life support, and his mom got in bed with him and put her arms around her child and watched him go to sleep, go away, you know, pass away, and they were on with us and talked about look, this is not just something you hear about on the news.

these are real families with real stories. listen. >> i think the mexican drug trafficking organization posed the greatest crime threat to our democracy in the united states of america. these drug dealers market them as legitimate prescription pills when they know they are fentanyl and there's no other ingredient in there other than the binders. every batch that is home made, these are home made pills not made in any scientific way, they all contain deadly doses. ainsley: the lady right there, that's alexander's mom, alexander was 14 years old. steve: just heartbreaking. brian: right and by the way this fentanyl, the numbers we gave you that's the stuff we caught. can you imagine the stuff we didn't catch because they are professionals drug smugglers, so there's so much here that has flooded the southern border and the president and vice president could not be less interested in the homeland security secretary has a hands-off policy. i've never seen anything like it in my life, in any single issue

that matters so much. steve: and brian it's the drugs that got in that killed those two kids. ainsley: i know, i know. enough here that they have caught recently, enough to kill 21 million americans. steve: yup. brian: manufactured. doesn't matter. it's a republican talking point. that is some of the things coming from the left who can defend the use of critical race theory in our schools says it doesn't exist. among the people that says it doesn't exist, congresswoman ilhan omar. she denies critical race theory is actually being taught in school. it's a false narrative. they think it's about votes, the exact quote is republicans love to create outrage over things that aren't actually happening. people should be asked what elementary, middle school and high school teaching critical race theory and why they are spinning false narratives. i had someone on the show -- ainsley: she clearly doesn't watch our show. we have someone on almost every hour every day. they show us evidence of critical race theory happening in their classrooms. brian: this is the most organic movement i've seen. it has started in the schools.

it goes to the school board and you see people on outside of washington saying what is coming from the bottom-up. keisha king is a florida parent , duvall county. i was able to speak to her the first hour. i asked her, did someone fund this is someone supporting this , is this curriculum real, how do you know? listen. >> it is teaching children that if you are white, letter o sexual, hailstone, able-body if you fall into that category you are automatically deemed an oppressor. it's not a society we want to have and not something we want to impress upon our children. we don't want more racism. i am so confused on how democrat s think that you can fight racism with more racism, so this is not a talking point. this is not some conspiracy theory. this is real and it's happening to our children and if we don't continue to stand up, they will continue to press it upon our children, and they poked the wrong people when it comes

to our momma bears, because when you mess with our kids, you have gone too far. steve: exactly. so exhibit a, there's somebody who says it's not manufactured. i just talked to nicole neily down in arlington, virginia. she says she sees it in her kid 's school she was talking about how in rhode island, one teacher trying to get the children to be political to testify one way or another even though she showed exactly how she was going to testify against the anti-critical race theory bill, in their town. it's across-the-board, but what's interesting about it is it's not just republican or conservative parents who are up in arms. it is democrats, independents, republicans, it's everybody across-the-board because when you look at what it's about, your kid, sitting in that class, at the end of the class, is going to figure, i'm either a victim or i'm on oppressor, the

way they went critical race theory and a lot of parents don't want their kids thinking like that. it's that simple. brian: yeah, there was this guy , i'd never seen before. he was on "meet the press" his name is brad todd and rnc operative and he said i think this started because parents had it with the educational bureaucracy of covid, and they are ed f up and trusting democrats when it comes to education but they trust republicans on education accountability. i think with the backlash you're seeing right now on critical race theory is another example of parents trying to hold electors accountable. anybody looking for a top-down funding, i think you can be spin ning in the wind. this happened from parents, local school board, we've never televised school board conferences like this. maybe once or twice every six months. at-best, now, we could pull out five a day. ainsley: we've gone so far to the left with all of this though , whatever happened to just teaching good godly principles to your children where you just love one another, you love your neighbor as

yourself. that's in the bible, that's the commandment, and if you just treat everyone equally, and love someone for their character that's what we should be teaching. steve: well and brian, to your point, a lot of parents did not trust the educators in the schools to reopen the schools, because they were frustrated. why aren't we opening the schools, and now, on the heels of oh, they're not going to reopen the school and oh, look what they're teaching, you can understand the frustration. brian: you think a republican operative told parents to act outraged if your school was shutdown? the outrage white people had to admit their guilt and their oppressors? you can't do that to people. there's not enough money in the world to finance a grassroots organization like this. ainsley: let's hand it over to jillian. hi. jillian: good morning let's begin with this fox news alert now becau a manhunt is underway in iowa after a deputy was shot overnight. he was hit when he walked in on the suspect robbing a general store. the deputy was airlifted to the

hospital and their condition is unknown. the suspects get-away vehicle has been recovered and residents are being asked to lock their doors and report any suspicious behavior. >> nine children, as well as a firefighter, are dead after high water causes several cars to hydro plane in alabama. the crash happening late saturday night as claudette dumped nearly a foot of rain. the system regaining strength this morning to a tropical storm , as it nears the carolina coast. >> meanwhile, overnight a large tornado hits a chicago suburb. the national weather verse calling it a life threatening weather situation. >> [sirens sounding] jillian: at least five people are hurt, one critically. damage leaving 16 homes unlive able. the storm also causing flooding issues at o'hare airport. officials say it's a miracle more people were not hurt. >> then there's this story,

three weeks after testing positive for covid-19 and being pulled from the memorial tournament, john rom wins the u.s. open. watch this. >> [cheering] >> [applause] jillian: celebrating his first father's day along with his first major title and he's the first to win the u.s. open, what a few weeks it has been in the life of john rahm. ainsley: a few weeks ago he was pulled out because of covid, he didn't understand, why, why can't i still play but he had to follow the rules and now look. god had a big blessing for him. jillian: that's cute. steve: thank you, jillian. coming up a new zealand weight lifter is set to become the first transgender olympian but the situation left her competition feeling powerless.

across the country, trying to ensure fairness and competition, and i think most people, starting off their mornings, see olympics get ready to happen next month, are going to say a biological man who decides to transition to becoming a woman does not belong in a weight lifting competition, because of testosterone, he is bigger, stronger and faster as a man, and then transitioning to a woman, this goes to the very essence of competition, and if she ends up medaling this goes to what caitlyn jenner has been talking about, remember, caitlyn jenner running for governorship in california. imagine the difference in caitlyn jenner had decided to compete as a woman right after bruce jenner had bun the decath alon as a man, this goes to the essence of men and women having separate competitions and fundamental fairness and athletics and most people believe this is not right brian: 35 years old he transitions to laurel, becomes a

she. never competed as a weight lift er before, but now at 37, she's maybe favored to be very successful for new zealand. >> very good chance to win a medal. i'm not an odds maker when it comes yet to weight lifting. i might be by july, looking for fun things to gamble on, but right now, the talk is that her weight lifting numbers put her in contention to potentially win a medal. brian: clay, also by the way you're not the only one having questions. another weight lifter from belgium said this , in a quote. anyone that has trained weight lifting at a high level knows this to be true in their bones, this the particular situations unfair to the sport and to athletes life changing opportunities are missed for some athletes medals and olympic qualifications and we are all powerless. this is about women. stand up for your sport. i think you should have the chance to medal. i really don't think, nothing against trans athletes but it's just not fair to female athletes i think women do matter.

i also think something else matters, as a guy who does talk radio i know how significant rush limbaugh is, best it ever was or will be, you and buck sexton will be taking over starting today. clay, how do you plan undoing it >> well, first of all, i'm so excited to be starting in rush limbaugh as you mentioned is a legend. we are not replacing him. we are going into his time slot that is going to be the biggest radio launch of all-time, brian. noon eastern, 9:00 a.m. pacific all over the country all 50 states, what we're going to try to do is be smart original funny and authentic, every single day, as you know, audience ultimately if you're on for multiple hours every day, they come to understand what you're all about and i think what we're all about is going to be advancing many of the causes that rush limbaugh cared about deeply, the battles are not ending even though he will not be there to fight them all. we're going to be picking up the sword and i hope people will follow us, and come to enjoy spending part of their day with

us from 12-3:00 eastern every single day. brian: one thing is pretty clear there's no topic you guys can't handle with your backgrounds from sports on down. >> that's right. brian: and buck of course has a cia background too. i know you'll have fun regardless, and it's going to be successful if you're involved clay travis from outkick. he's also a part of our family and now you're going to be moving from 12-3:00 so please don't call or text him. he's going to be busy for three hours a day. >> i'll let my mom no that. she sometimes forgets. brian: she's got special exemption. clay, congratulations on everything with your career, good job. >> thank you. brian: you got it. meanwhile coming up straight ahead the father of a 20- year-old who died while on vacation in 2017 is speaking out calling to hold a mexican resort responsible. nancy grace is taking a deep look into this case, and more. she'll join us, next. liberty mutual customizes car insurance so you only pay for what you need.

alcohol. that was a 20--year-old young girl, that suffered a broken collar bone and was already brain dead in a pool in mexico when they fished her out. ainsley: oh, my gosh. there's so many different stories. one in aruba, one in mexico, alaskan cruise, jamaica, these are all places that our viewers go to during the summer months. >> right, places that i want to take my family. you know, i grew up on a red dirt road always dreamed of travel. i didn't even know enough to know where i wanted to go, but when i think about bill connor specifically, that's abby's father i met him on the set of dr. oz and after that we became friends and i learned about a big threat to american travelers, that very few people know about. it's tainted alcohol where people make a profit of refilling brand alcohol with, for instance methanol or rubbing alcohol, and people end up dying. there have been hundreds,

hundreds of americans that have suffered in mexico alone. ainsley: you don't know, you go to the bar and order a drink. that's what everyone does on vacation. i think we have a clip of you talking to her dad. let's watch this. >> when you hear it's all about making another dollar and your daughter is dead, what is your response? >> how many people have lost somebody and they've had no recourse. it makes me sad that these people are doing thisnd it's a part of their livelihood. ainsley: oh, she is darling, nancy. nancy what do we do to prevent that? >> you know, i really research ed it very heavily and remember she was down there with her brother aaron who also ended up face down in the pool and her family. this is a family get-away. they weren't like boozing it up at the bar and it was a waist- deep pool with no security, no cameras and nobody saw anything of course but when it comes to the tainted alcohol,

don't go out and drink alone, try to bring your own alcohol if you can. i know that sounds crazy, avoid alcohol that is not already freshly opened, you watched them open it. watch them make your drink, and if you can, avoid hard liquor. this is happening. there's been a whole expose in the milwaukee sentinal journal about it. it's nothing to ignore. ainsley: no it's not, serious. thank you so much nancy. i love what you're doing for fox nation. crime stories with nancys grace, dead on vacation, one is going to drop every day this week and she has hasselberg a natalie holloway investigation. to get exclusive content download fox nation.com. check out all of the fox news personalities and get all kinds of great information and watch really good documentaries still ahead as crime surges across the country, detroit's former police chief warns his profession is in crisis. dan bongino explains, why he blames the lawlessness on

make sure you ask your doctor if your teen is missing meningitis b vaccination. >> our profession is in a crisis right now, and when you talk about issues like bail reform, the courts are not using common sense, they are putting violent predatory criminals back in our communities. the other big issue? some of the mayors in these cities are failing miserable. look at chicago. lori lightfoot talks about what's dangerous. the cops are dangerous? no she's dangerous. the people that live in south and west chicago, vulnerable communities. who speaks to them, whose protecting them? they want effective policing. where are the support for the men and women. this anti-police rhetoric it's not a surprise police officers are leaving in large numbers. steve: no kidding, somebody has worn the uniform for a number of

agencies is dan bongino host of the dan bongino show, right here on the fox news channel stream ing daily on fox nation, and also the host of "unfiltered with dan bongino" on saturdays with fox news. dan, listen to this the number of police officers intentionally rammed by vehicle, killed by gunfire or stabbed is up 40% so far this year over last year and chris wray, the fbi director, said that's a troubling trend almost two law enforcement officers shot and killed every week and that's not even counting those who die in the line of duty, facing the inherent dangers that you guys do. >> yeah, you know, i'll never forget an appearance i did on this show, where ainsley, actually asked me a question about, sadly, one of these stories. i wish we never had to talk about these stories again, about police officers being killed, right? but we were on about one of those topics and i said to ainsley, think about this , being a former cop, i get a text from a friend, probably twice a

year, saying to me hey, remember officer x whatever their name is yeah, either they were shot and killed or they were hurt or run over or they got in a really bad fight in the street while, you know, going to respond to a 911 call and i said to ainsley, imagine that being your job, god forbid, at fox, where you get a text twice a year, and they say hey, you know , brian or steve got beat up in the streator god forbid got shot in the line of duty and you'd be like that's the craziest thing i ever heard. no it's not that's what it's like being a more and knowing a lot of people in police departments. that's exactly what it's like. just tatoo that on your brain. imagine if that was your job, and you're going to sit here and lecture me in these media people that the cops are the problem? really, guys i got no patience for that and what bothers me about these stories we're cover ing all too often, crime exploding, cops being injured and hurt is that we know what works, guys. you guys are in new york, it's not like liberals don't know

what works. they know it, they lived through the broken windows policing and they are just reverting back to the old stuff. why? you want people to get hurt, you want crime to go up? they're not stupid. that be the easiest explanation for liberals but it's not true. ainsley: some of them know. look at jim clyburn, down in south carolina. look what's happening in new york city, where, you know, having this mayoral race, and the ones that are the top contenders are the ones saying law and order, we need to have more police, we need to be stronger. brian: although they aren't talking guliani. ainsley: no not that much. >> jack may el was the first deputy commissioner when i was there. guys i've lived through it. you can be a media guy all you want i know you're 14 and you went to journalism school and now you're 18 and blogging and you think you're a police expert i've lived through it and i was there. don't lecture me, you dunces. go sit in your corner and shut the hell up. you don't know what you're talking about.

guliani came in with jack maple. they instituted computer statistics, and broad police captains in and said hey, here are the computer statistics about the crime in your pre significant, drug sale, rapes, murder, homicides what are you doing about it and you're like my gosh that was revolutionary, yes it was. nobody had done it before and all of a sudden, the police were coming into meetings sweating bullets saying oh, my gosh. i got to fix it. ainsley: dan do you know what the reputation of new york was? can't go to new york, it's dangerous don't take your jewelry. >> in times square? ainsley: yes. what happened when you pulled out of times square. when you got off the train at times square, ainsley, if you were a tourist you got hit with a hooker, a drug dealer and a three-card monte guy ready to rip you off. brian: real quick, dan what does this mean for police reform when they first started talking about it, we're in a different place. now we have every major city with soaring crime rates.

ainsley: times square now. brian: and politicians deciding how cops can do their jobs better. i'm worried about what they come out with. >> well you should be because that doesn't mean a damf thing for police reform unless they start electing people that have sensible common sense policies. whose genius idea was it to get rid of the anti-crime slot? brian: deblasio. >> criminals don't commit crimes in front of uniform police officers. i know liberals and media are scratching their heads like really? that's why we had anti-crime in plain clothes. they would drive around in unmarked cars and they would see people commit crimes, because news flash, libs. people don't commit crimes in front of uniform police officers i know they are stunned by this , but i mean, whose genius decision was that? let's get rid of anti-crime and gun crime goes up, shocker. steve: although dan, during the riots last summer a whole bunch of people were arrested looting and the da is letting

them off. >> steve, what could possibly go wrong. steve: exactly. >> don't enforce looting you'll get more of it. liberals again are scratching their heads right now looking to their golden aoc for guidance. what could possibly happen when you let looters out of jail. steve: dan, thanks for joining us from south florida. brian: we'll see you today at noon. steve: straight ahead, serving and protecting the flag, we're going to talk to two indiana sheriffs deputies who found and folded old glory in the middle of tornado damage. but first, it's hammer time. and dana perino is sitting right there. dana: i barely made it so you were almost right. i was rushing a little bit this morning. bill: good monday morning guys coming up we'll draft on a similar topic you were just discussing here. charges on hundreds of tearing up new york, so ted williams and andy mccarthy will help us with that. dana: and clarence tate will join us on the violence in

steve: welcome back. a patriotic moment captured following the storm in jay county, indiana, on friday when a tornado left behind significant damage to the area. our next guest stumbled upon an american flag in the debris. the two sheriff's deputies then picked up the flag from the ground and carefully, as you can see right there, folded old glory absolutely properly. sergeant derrick bogochutes, and deputy eric smitley join us live guys good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: deputy let's start with you. tell us a little bit about the tornado damage on friday to your neck of the woods. >> there's multiple houses damaged roofs, things like that, a lot of trees, power lines, vehicles. steve: yeah, and sergeant once you went through the area, and realized that all people were present and accounted for , that's when you saw the flag,

right? >> absolutely. steve: and tell me what you decided to do? >> so we seen after we assessed the damage, we seen underneath some rubble there was an american flag. both of us just naturally walked over there, and just began folding it up. steve: you did, indeed and we're looking at some of the imagery i think somebody from the sheriff 's department took these pictures, put it on their facebook page and now the sheriff's department put it on as well. deputy, i'm sure you've heard a lot of your friends and people in your town say thank you for doing that, right? >> correct. steve: tell me a little more about it. why was that so important for you to do that day? >> it just felt right, serve respect for the flag, respect for our country, not to disrespect the flag. steve: that's right because sergeant there's a lot of that going on these days. there's a lot of that, a lot of disrespecting police officers and people in your line of work.
