first openly transgender athlete to compete in the atlantics. >> all parties here simply follow the rules? mlb hits first home run but dad stealing the show. >> hits it high and deep and gone. home run. >> ♪ let's get it started in here. ♪ let's get it started in here. ainsley: when i think of norfolk, virginia, i think of the military. so many men and women trained there look how gorgeous it is. brian: do you know what i think of. steve: what about our fox news affiliate? brian: same thing. ainsley: we appreciate all of you there who listen to brian on the radio and listen to our morning show. brian: everyone in uniform or was don't try anything. steve: welcome to wednesday, we have got a busy day today. later today the president of the united states is going to come
3:02 am
out and say you are right, there is a crime problem but i'm going to fix it. i'm going to do something about guns. brian: right. apparently what part of his crime prevention plan that he is going to unveil today will stem the flow of firearms used to commit violence including holding rogue firearm dealers accountable for violating federal laws, shall local law enforcement, invest in evidence based community violence intervention. he is also, and, you know, we have heard so much about defunding the police over the last year or two, he is also going to tell communities hey, you know, if you don't have enough cops, why don't you take some of the covid money up to $350 billion of the code money and go ahead and hire some cops. you have got to do it in the name of community policing. that is the buzz word. community policing, take the money. ainsley: he says he wants to put officers in areas of communities and they become familiar with the residents. brian: they have been thinking about that. they have been doing that. i think it's interesting to show
3:03 am
some flexibility on that but i mean the numbers are pretty staggering to think that guns are the only issue. it seems to me kind of sad. a swing and a miss. it's a saying for democrats. we know there is a problem. we can't avoid there is a problem. our stats show there is a problem. also our autopsy revealed the democrats lost votes almost lost the entire house. should have walked away with the that the. barely squeaked by with it because of one phrase defund the police. if you want to actually get into everyone's kitchen and living room and have them talking about you, you can can't take safety and security away from them. that's what's happening in every major city in america. steve: they are going to talk a little bit today about community policing but a lot about how it's all about the guns. but, you know, we were talking about this the other day. the number of people who are being raped in atlanta has gone up 98%. in the last year. that does not involve a gun and.
3:04 am
ainsley: my friend who goes to a restaurant i think about it every time i walk out my front door. steve: right, exactly. peter doocy, the white house correspondent was in the briefing room yesterday afternoon and asked the press secretary about what exactly is going on here and she said this. what does the president think is deterrent to commission a crime. >> there has been increase in crime over the last 18 months. if you look statistically back over the last five years or. so initial set of actions the president has announced to date to address gun violence we believe the essential is gun violence. we are seeing that statistically in a lot of areas. he also believes we need to ensure that state and local governments keep cops on the beat. that we are supporting communities' policing. >> he went on to say there is uptick though in gunless crimes, jen psaki. car robberies, rapes.
3:05 am
why do you think morale is so low in police department. you have to talk to law enforcement to assess that he does support community policing programs. brian: just amazing it turns out the way they want to solve the problem in 2021 is the agenda that they have is take your guns away and they talk about the amount of guns that go from state to state. new york reported 550 gun used in crime came from georgia. 474 of guns in virginia came from virginia. 420 were traced back to south carolina. and they go on like that. they say they can track the guns problem. they are not each addressing the problem. to me, if you look at what is happening in the inner cities and talking to the people committing the crimes. you see the destruction of the family. you see the destruction of the schools in that area. so they just -- the best thing they can do after school is join a gang because structure of the family is not there and the opportunities are not presented. ben domenech spoke last night on
3:06 am
"special report." >> i think the president is going to say a lot of things that don't have a lot to do with what's has gone in the country the past year and a half. jen psaki keeps emphasizing we have seen this rise in crime, you know, not just in the past couple of months but in the past year and a half. if only there were a way to look back in time at things that were being said last summer at things that being promoted, ideas about the nature of policing and the way that prosecutors ought to drop various case as being nonviolent acts, such as vandalism and robbing stores and the like. it's a mystery why all of this happened as opposed to being a reflection of the actual policies that the democratic party wants to put in place in america's great cities. ainsley: and look at these big cities where they defunded cops so cops don't feel supported. why do they go out there and fight crime if they are going to be a target. and when you look at the criminals, the criminals say we can get away with it.
3:07 am
not as many cops. not going to do anything about it. brian: no cash bail. steve: joe biden was for getting rid of that jen psaki said yesterday she had nothing to add to it. he still wants to get rid of that the department of justice is going to also unveil the fact that they have got a strike force against the guns and they will be targeting new york, chicago, l.a., san francisco, and d.c. but there is an item today in the metro section of the "new york post" that talks about, you know, they could stop making guns in the united states but there would still be so many guns on the streets of new york city. most of the crime being committed in new york city with guns is being committed with guns that people have had under their bed or in the closet according to law enforcement. so, you know, they don't really see the utility in what the president is doing today. he need to recognize it's a crime problem not necessarily just a gun problem. ainsley: those that are pro-gun, their concern is i'm a good guy,
3:08 am
i want to protect my family. if the bad guy comes in going to get the gun no matter what don't take away my gun because i need to be able to protect my family. brian: just so illogical that you defame the police. you disarm the police, essentially. you tell them everything they can't do and then tell them they are the problem. you have no cash bail. you have weak prosecutors. now you have things like in chicago i don't want you chasing criminals who are running from you. unless you get permission when you call back to the station. you combine all of those things and then you say i know what the problem is, too many guns. so, good luck. they can pass everything, they are not going to see any move at all unless you get down to once again empowering the police. you can actually do police reform and help the police. my hope is what we see emerge from this bipartisan council led on the republican side by tim scott and the democratic side by cory booker helps the police by funding and additional training and talking about tactics that doesn't further defame and disarm them. steve: well, something has got
3:09 am
to be done because crime is skyrocketing and spiking all across the country and people are feeling powerless. in fact, democrats are telling joe biden unless you do something about crime, we are going to have a problem not only advancing our agenda but donald trump may run for president of the united states again and could win on that issue. brian: that's what thomas freidman wrote about today. he said if you want to stop donald trump, if you want to stop donald trump crack down on crime. ainsley: crime is going up all across the country, the number of migrants come across the border is going up. if you look at the large groups, the chief patrol agent brian hastings of the rio grande area he has had enough and he tweeted this out. he said two groups totaling 264 migrants, to include 60 unaccompanied children were apprehended this weekend in hill hidalgo texas. the matched the large group
3:10 am
apprehended in the previous two fiscal years combined. brian: in the last 8 months, 930,000 migrants, including 80,000 unaccompanied children have illegally crossed the border. how are they attacking it? joe biden has put out word that everybody that was told to leave and process in the remain in mexico policy is now eligible to reapply to come back in including those people who didn't show up for their asylum hearings. why would that be the answer to a problem or do you care so little you actually want to make it worse? steve: well, you know, it's interesting. because secretary mayorkas said last week he said in front of the lawmakers. our strategy is working. you know, if the strategy is to stop drugs from coming into the country, that strategy is not working because we have been talking about how fentanyl is through the roof. but, if the strategy is to let as many people in to the country by bending some longstanding rules, that is working. and that is why a bipartisan
3:11 am
group of people from capitol hill, a couple of congressman, a democrat and republican, and senator john cornyn all from texas wrote an op-ed in the dallas morning news and essentially the headline says hey, president and vice president, come on down, talk to the folks and you will see with your own two eyes what is going on. ainsley: look at the headline, texas congressman to biden and harris come down and visit. the phrase down the south y'all come back now you hear? steve: sounds like the beverly hillbillies. ainsley: y'all come back now you hear? the problem is they are saying y'all come. they haven't gone once. they are complaining about that. how can you submit washington there is a huge problem here. you are the border czar, kamala harris, you haven't even come to visit. need come here and talk to law enforcement. talk to the people and find out what the issues are. brian: my worry is they are going to finally come down and they will think they are done. everybody is saying come counsel. i need them to come down but
3:12 am
take action. among the op-ed because my paper boy was late with the dallas morning news today and i'm not going to tip him. he said this here is an excerpt from it the momentum of this crisis building for months, no significant action has been taken. the president and vice president have yet to visit the border and our message to president biden and vice president harris is listen to locals. take a look at our bipartisan bill and let's address the humanitarian crisis together. i think that is a great idea. the other thing is, democrats, if you -- be selfish for a second. if you want to hold on to the gains you made in arizona and the gains you were making for a brief period of time in texas, crack down on the border. i don't care what your motivation is, but it's not working for you and your party to ignore it because it makes it very easy to point fingers where they do belong and that's right at your party. steve: and in the op-ed, they write, you know, kamala harris said she didn't want to come go to the border because those kind
3:13 am
of grand gestures are not needed at this time. and then they go in to say, you know what? you are right. don't do that but come on down and talk to the people and see with your own two eyes what is going on and figure out why these people are risking their lives wade across a river. brian: jean surety in your closet. roll up your sleeves pickup truck and talk to people. you want to find out what's going on you talk to that person directly. still as bad as it was two weeks ago. are you getting the resources you need? are we able to hire the amount of people that you want? what could i be doing? what can i relay to leader in other countries. ainsley: if you are out there on the border and putting your life on the line if you are a border agent how do you think they feel when the leader of the border czar is in washington hasn't even come to talk to them to find out what the problem is and leading from 1200 miles away? it. brian: here is lindsey graham on
3:14 am
this. >> well, number one, the biden-harris administration is incompetent and foolish when it comes to managing illegal immigration. they're literally telling people that we have sent to mexico because they didn't show up for their asylum hearing hey, can you come back and start over again. the biden administration supports eliminating cash bail, basically letting everybody out. look at what's happened in new york. the cops arrest a guy monday morning. they are out monday afternoon. so all these policies are blowing up in the biden-harris administration's face. brian: lindsey graham special thanks both talking points. for him to sum up both of them fantastic. ainsley: crime. brian: knew what the run down was going to be this morning. steve: it was just perfect. look at the number of people and said 180,000 people came and tried to get into the country illegally in the month of may. there were also 110,000 return
3:15 am
t. mexico toe just turned around right there because of the title 4 which says hey there is covid in this country have you got turn around. can you imagine if there had been 180,000 plus the 110,000, something like that? we are talking about 300,000 people were at our southern border trying to get. in. brian: think about this we are not letting canadians come in. we told the toronto maple leaf fuss leave the country you can't come back. they have to play in america. we are not letting people do commerce unless it's absolute essential worker program that mexico legally or canada. but we are letting this happen that you are watching on your television. you don't have to be a political hacker and needer to understand right and wrong. governor pete ricketts in nebraska, like florida, like idaho, is helping out the border states, especially texas. is he going to be with us at 8:30. ainsley, you referred to the beverly hillbillies that is a great american story. for them to come out hunting,
3:16 am
shoot and discover oil and able to move to beverly hills that should give evan hope that tomorrow could be your day. steve: threw the ground come a bubbling crude. brian: they never left their culture they brought their culture to beverly hills. ainsley: one of the cultures they said what? the taxes are this high in californiaened and the dad i don't remember his name. steve: jed clampett. ainsley: i don't mind paying taxes this land has given me so much opportunity. i will pay for the roads and bridges. when i was a little girl i bass thinking that's true when i got older and got a paycheck then i realized. brian: who knew beverly hills would be taking on infrastructure i did not know that. ainsley: that was the episode i remember. brian: if we could pull that crip next hour. jillian, i know you have to do the news now when you are done will you pull that clip? jillian: sure. you said tomorrow could be your day it would be today. today can be your day. bine brian right.
3:17 am
jillian: don't wait until tomorrow. brian: as bret eldrich told us yesterday it's going to be a good day. jillian: can i get to the news? ainsley: not great but we will make it great. brian: thank you. jillian: begin your headlines with this overnight a deputy it is shot during a standoff at a home in georgia. deputies were trying to find a wanted man when the suspect barricaded himself inside. he opened fire after authorities got him out of the home. deputies exchanged fire killing the suspect at the scene. the deputy is expected to be okay. let's go to a live look at capitol hill where senate republicans successfully blocked democrats for the people act. senate minority leader mitch mcconnell had strong words for the sweeping election legislation tweeting, quote: the rotten inner workings of democrats power grab have been thoroughly exposed to the light. the bill was defeated without even one republican siding with democrats. taking early lead in the new york primary for the mayoral
3:18 am
race. preliminary results show adams with 31% of the vote in the city's first ranked choice election. >> the little guy won today. [cheers and applause] we are on the precipice of gaining the keys to the prosperity of our city. jillian: andrew yang dropped out of the race after early results showed him in fourth place. curtis wouldn't g.o.p. nomination with 68% of the vote. and how about this? an mlb rookie hits his first home run but it's his dad that's stealing the show. watch.

april ains a new zealander upcoming olympics. critics argue she has unfair advantage over women. the 2016 olympics was forced to drop a weight class when lawler hubbard began competing as a woman in 2017. former immediately to weight lifter joins us now. good morning, tracy. >> good morning. thank you very much. quite an exciting time. ainsley: i'm sure. you know laurel hubbard, right? >> yes. ainsley: and how did that affect you whether she she wanted to compete against you? >> at first i was pretty angry, pretty upset. pretty disappointed. there were a lot of emotions but i was -- i really wasn't that happy about it.
3:25 am
the way i found out was via a phone call from my coach at the time. it was like a monday morning and i got a phone call i was like what do you mean? there is no one else close to me. i shouldn't have my records broken. and he, yeah, until lawler laurl started competing. as of now you are number two. ainsley: that forced you. you had to go down in weight, right? >> i was told by the national weight lifting body that i either needed to drop weight category or look at retiring because the competitions we were looking at qualifying for you could only send one per nation in the body weight. so they it's not going to be you. your options are lose 13-kilo or 18 kilos in three months or you can retire. ainsley: what did you do? >> i'm quite competitive so i
3:26 am
lost the weight in three month. ainsley: how hard was that? >> it was very hard but, you know, i surrounded myself with a great support team. i'm very competitive and hard-working. i did what i have to do to accomplish my goal of competing at my third summer world games. it meant a lot to me to show, i guess, the commonwealth that i wasn't knocked out that easily. ainsley: and are you still lifting? >> no. so, actually, at the end of the competition, i had just had enough. i was disappointed with the newzealand weight lifting and nt willing to put myself through more disappointment and wasn't worth me being upset about the situation and the way i was treated as an athlete. my family all came out to australia, watched me compete
3:27 am
and that's was where i retired and haven't stepped back on the platform since. ainsley: wow. i know they were trying to find dissolution solutions to this issue. i have been reading articles about it. they talked about maybe doing away with genders, maybe just -- whatever your ability is that's how compete against. maybe give people a handicap like they do in golf. what's your opinion? >> that's a bit ridiculous. an extreme sport where there are reasons for having a male and female category you can't just do away with categories. i looked at a lot of young athletes around us. 14 and 15-year-old boys lifting what our females lift that are, you know, these boys lighter weight category. it honorable nestle just knocks women out of sports. women are not going to want to participate where there is an opportunity for them to, you know, win medals or go to international competition.
3:28 am
yeah, you have to have the category. there is no other way around it. ainsley: tracy, we wish you all the best. congratulations on your accomplishments. it's amazing. >> thank you very much. ainsley: you are welcome. lots of hard work. 6:27 on the east coast. coming up, the cdc will meet today to review a link between heart inflammation cases and young people receiving covid vaccines, dr. marc siegel with what parents need to know coming up next. i'm here and suddenly... ...my migraine takes me somewhere else. where there's pain, and nausea. but excedrin pulls me back in a way others don't. and it relieves my symptoms fast for real migraine relief.

brian: a heated scene, i don't need to tell you if you watched that playing out in loudoun county, virginia where hundreds of parents pushed back school board transgender policy and other things. the district has been the epicenter of the fight against critical race theory in the classroom. look at this. here to react our panel of loudoun county parents, conservative radio show joe mobley is here along with paul chen and rachel. rachel, let's start with you. what was the goal going in? what ended up happening that cut everything off yesterday? >> the goal was really parents being able to speak and express their concern about crt and the fact that our school board wants to indoctrinate our children. we do not want to co-parent with our government. we want to be able to instill police and instill our faith in our children without hesitation. brian: joe, do you think you are being heard and the fact that they cut this off? does it make you feel as though they are trying to cut you off? >> absolutely we're not heard.
3:44 am
if anything, last night proved that this school board and, in particular, brenda sheridan have a real problem with the first amendment all the way from religious expression, freedom of conscience, to freedom of speech and expression. i think that's clear by last night. brian: is your goal to win over the board of education or to replace them and i will bring that to you, paul. >> yeah. absolutely. brian. the goal has been started about seven or eight weeks ago and we are trying to recall the school board. six members out of 8 or 9 members we are trying to recall because we don't -- these radical policies will not change. brian: yeah, are you worried about the fall? i mean you are worried about what's going to happen in the fall, right? because obviously this year has come and gone and i will put that to you, rachel. do you think that this message has gotten across where you actually will change the curriculum or else the parent
3:45 am
protest won't stop? >> the parent protest won't stop. i mean, we are an army of moms and parents that will not stop until we are heard. so they can mute our mics, they can arrest us and kick us off of public property. we're not going to stop. they are passing laws saying july 1st, after, this in the fall, they will fire any teacher that is not curly in agreement l culturally in agreement with the school board and their tactics. it's not freedom of speech, freedom of religion. it's racism and cloaked in socialism. brian: joe, i think it's important for people at home to understand you are not saying don't teach jim crow, don't talk about the civil war, don't talk about segregation. you are not talking about avoiding that. right, joe you? are talking about not indoctrinating and vilifying a race; is that correct? >> absolutely. teach history in its full context and you can even speak to the impact of historical
3:46 am
accuracy. don't teach indoctrination. don't teach that some kids are bad because of the characteristics basically skin color. brian: i have been in awe of what is happening at the grassroots level. i have been seeing it happening. cover it as much as possible. not only loudoun county but around the country. some people are saying this is funded. it is funded and pushed from washington and the rnc to win an election in 2022. paul chen, are you funded? >> no. we are absolutely not funded at all. this is a grassroots level erunted when we started seeing the -- became away of the crt and that was predicated on the awareness the school closures. we really wanted the schools to open back up because it wasn't a proper learning environment for my kids. my daughter alone spending $1,500 this summer just to make sure she did learn her math the way it needs to be. math is foundational. if you don't know it, you can't move to the next level. so these are things that started
3:47 am
the movement and now it's where it's at today and we are not funded at all. brian: a couple of things. rachel, where was the violence yesterday? why did the cops get involved number one and number two, do you feel you would have even done this or known about this if it wasn't for the pandemic and your child learning at home? >> absolutely i would never have known about this. of the issue that happened yesterday is a woman stood up and called jesus followers, people that were dripping with hate. so because we were speaking truth be, she called us people that were driven with hate. the school board stopped the meeting and came back, gave. >> geraldo: time back, allowed the hate speech to occur again, and then they stopped the poured meeting again. then when senator black got up and spoke, they disagreed with what he said, again and they stopped the school board meeting and asked everyone to leave and said if we did not leave, they would -- we would be arrested.

3:54 am
>> oh, absolutely. jason fits the bill 100 percent. the only thing that jason doesn't have a resume like a normal fast food manager would have 7 to 10 years experience. but he cares about the brand and he was the guy for the job. is he doing a fantastic job. steve: what got our attention is you said you have got a great crop of 16 and 17-year-old employees who would be great managers but you need to train them for a year or two before they actually get the job. when people started hearing that you were paying teenagers 50,000 bucks to be a manager and run one of your restaurants, what time did the phones start ringing and has it stopped? >> the phone started ringing right after the "wall street journal" article came out and as of late last night, they had not stopped. steve: i can imagine. now, jason, suddenly, you know, a young guy with a lot of
3:55 am
responsibility. >> yeah. steve: how are you handling that? >> no, it's not too bad. you know, these guys have helped me out. shown me the insides and outs. these guys help me out every day. it's not too bad. steve: yeah, now, i understand, garrett, that you would like to expand beyond your current six but you just can't find people to work. why don't people want to work for you because you are paying a lot of money. >> well, it's probably two fold. you know, covid sent a lot of people in the restaurant industry to different jobs. you know, they found work driving for uber and lyft and things like that. a lot of them just didn't come back. the stimulus that's out there right now is probably affecting the labor force. i can give you a realtime example. we actually, this weekend, have a franchisee opening up in houston, texas, fantastic franchisee, grand opening. we would typically have 70 to 75 employees at a grand opening.
3:56 am
and we have struggled to get 35 that's happening right now. real life issues. steve: the problem is, when you expand and you have to pay people more ultimately, you have got to raise your rates. i know you don't want to do it. jason, exit question, i understand you like the company so much some day maybe in your 20's, you would like to actually buy one. you would like to be a franchisee? >> oh, yeah. i would love to be a franchisee. that's the goal build my way up and hopefully come soon. steve: all right. let's see what happens. the guy sitting next to you can make it happen. >> oh, yeah. >> garrett reed and jason cabrera. we thank you for joining us from layne's chicken fingers. >> thank you for having us on. steve: teaching kids to hate america. new study finds universities could be behind that. you mean that nasty red rash?

4:04 am
washington with more as democrats vow to keep fighting. right, rich? >> richard: that's right, steve, ainsley and brian. this would have been the largest federal overhaul in voting of elections in decades. shortly after senate republicans blocked this bill president biden said in a statement quote they stood against the ongoing assaults of voter suppression that represent as jim crow era in the 21st century. unfortunately a democratic stand to protect our democracy met a solid republican wall of opposition. it was the suppression of a bill to end voter suppression. the white house says the bill would have removed barriers to voting as some states build them. the bill would have limited gerrymandering of conditioning congressional districts and mandated voting. the initiative would rob states' control over their elections. >> the bill that we have in front of us is not so much about voting rights as it is a federal takeover of the election system.
4:05 am
and a partisan takeover of the election system. >> despite their defeat in the senate democrats are prime minister missing to keep trying. >> the issue here is there actual access to the voting process or is that being impeded? and the bottom line is that the president and i are very clear we support s-1. we support the john lewis -- >> it's unclear how democrats would getting their voting bill or any voting bill through the u.s. senate? they would likely have to change those filibuster rules and remove that 60 vote threshold. back to you. steve: that is what it is all about, rich, thank you very much. the bill that did not go on to debate and killed by the filibuster was 800 pages. now apparently the plan b for democrats is they are rallying around a 3 page memo written by joe manchin, and he has some suggestions. remember, joe manchin said he would not support the bill
4:06 am
without republican support. but then the democrat said, you know what? we will consider your bill so he said okay. and ultimately he did vote with all of the democrats even though he said i'm not going to vote for it unless there are republicans. there were no republicans and joe manchin voted for it anyway. ainsley: yeah. i was talking to a friend of mine who was say something this going to pass? well, joe manchin says he is going to vote with the republicans. says that every time. brian: he his own on the filibuster. senator sinema wrote editorial i'm holding my own. i don't care about my party when it comes to that. she has been pretty consistent even though joe manchin gets most of the attention, that means without delivering 9 or 8 republicans it doesn't have dollars and cent and taxes involved. they will pass spending bills and rescue packages but not pass something like massive voting
4:07 am
overhaul. so disappointing to see the president act like a pundit with some of his extreme statements that don't reflect the accuracy and radicalness of this bill. he talked about now no one is going to be able to vote if this doesn't pass. you would think he would be told to walk it back because nothing close to jim crow and probably the most egregious and insen sear things is stacey abrams who wants to be the next governor of georgia. she comes out and says oh, to go out and get i.d. is going to cost money. they have to hop on a bus to go to motor vehicle in order to get a non-licensed i.d. it's cost prohibitive. it's not fair. and then she goes oh no, when she realizes between 70% and 80% of the public thinks you should have i.d. to vote. no, i think it's a good idea. so now joe manchin put some reasonable things forward. but the whole question you should start to ask yourself. do you want the federal government deciding how oregon should vote, how washington state should vote? how different that is and the challenges that remain in a place like alaska as opposed to
4:08 am
florida? there is nobody who thinks be are constitution that this is good news. i will add one other thing to it is the redistricting. when you vote for a congressman on or about congresswoman or a state legislature, you are voting for a reason. not only them, you are voting to give certain party power, at which time they redistrict within their state. do you want a computer nonpartisan model to decide where your districts are? you know better. ainsley: the federal government shouldn't be running political campaigns. that was the democrats' plan, they wanted to use federal tax dollars to fund political campaigns. even if it's someone you are not voting for, your tax dollars would go to fund these campaigns. and that's what senator make lee had a problem with he said yesterday was a day for the angels. listen. >> i'm thrilled that we defeated s 1 tonight this was a victory for the angels. this bill was written in hell by the devil himself. this bill wouldn't make it easier to vote it would make it easier to vote illegally. this is the corrupt politicians act and i'm glad we defeated it
4:09 am
most importantly, sean, we have to remember that this would have arranged for federal taxpayer dollars to fund campaigns. federal my -- pointed out to me in the their campaign if this bill would have been law they personally would have been entitled to tens of millions of dollars of federal taxpayer subsidies into their campaign. sean, there is one thing american people do not want that's for the federal government to be running politicians campaign and i'm thrilled that we stopped it steve and the republicans did stop it and will stop it again. it was a breathtaking federal infringement on states' rights to conduct their own state elections. no doubt about it, during the pandemic it laid bear problems with elections in certain localities. what happens after that? those localities fix it and work it out. do it themselves. don't federalize it you don't want washington running your election in idaho. you just don't. brian: part of this too was they
4:10 am
won't touch voter roles. why wouldn't you want to clean up voter roles. not to expel people. people that died, a people that moved. people that relocated, you shouldn't be getting multiple ballots to locations you don't live anymore. that's not purging. and republicans have to do a better job of explaining that. steve: because i heard on the radio morning on network newscast, not this one, describing what the republicans were able to do, they said in the news report essentially the republicans want to continue voter suppression. so that's the mainstream narrative about what happened yesterday. ainsley: to your point why wouldn't they want to clean it that up? there is a girl here at fox that it -- she told me she got four ballots last year in the mail during the presidential election. two of them were for the people who died who lived in the house that she lives in now. so she didn't fill them out and turn them in. but that's the concern. that's why we want integrity at this with our elections. she threw them away.
4:11 am
but, the concern is some people might try to cheat. and georgia just cleaned up their election roster. more than 100,000 had to be purged because they changed locations. they were being sent ballots to different addresses or people had passed away. and they are still sending out ballots. steve: we just want accurate voter rolls, period. there are a lot of voters out in loudoun county, virginia. if they were given the chance, they would vote most of the people in the school district, school board leaders out of office if they had their way. last night they had another one of the meetings, and it was chaotic. a couple of people wound up getting arrested and a couple of people had to be tended to for medical reasons as well. a lot of the people were objecting to policy 840 which is a transgender policy over which bathroom people would use or preferred names and stuff like that. there was so everywhere going on there were 300 people in attendance, 259 of them asked if
4:12 am
i can get up and speak. and after a couple of dozen they said okay, we're done and they left. ainsley: yesterday we reported on the democrats in that area. they put out a tweet. and it said jump on our bus, we have three different bus stops. you can pay a little fee and we will pick you up to take you to this meeting. so not everyone from there is from loudoun county. there might have been some fairfax county people which is the county next door. but everyone there is either pro-crt or against crt. they did have a chance to talk. one mom i heard she is going it pull the child out of school now. brian: here is how it sounded. [shouting] resign. resign. >> the western culture and values that brought forth christianity in the founding documents are being called evil and racist. >> i'm reminded the tyranny of communist china where your money is legally stolen and then used in government schools, not public schools. these are not public schools. these are government schools
4:13 am
like here to indoctrinate children against their parents. >> my child is not oppressed. and don't assume that as long as you marxists put your unconstitutional agenda on my child, you will not be returning back to loudoun county schools. [. [cheers and applause] ainsley: that's the lady i was talking about. steve: the parents were cut off from speaking at the meeting. a bunch of them remained in the room and they decided that they would read their prepared remarks to each other. but at one point deputies told people you have got leave or you are going to be arrested for trespassing if they refused to follow their orders to vacate. that's the only way they could get people out of the meeting because the meeting room after the meeting had he adjourned because people are so fired up over both sides on these issues. brian: so i don't know if anything has changed yet. that's the frustration. joe mobley, paul chen, rachel pisani parents from last night got up early this morning and
4:14 am
joined us to tell us their perspective on where they go from here. >> we are trying to recall the school board six members out of 8 or 9 members we are trying to recall because we don't -- these radical policies will not change. >> last night proved that this school board and, in particular, brenda, sheridan have a real problem with the first amendment all the way from religious expression, freedom of conference to freedom of speech. >> we do not want to co-parent with our government. we want to be able to instill beliefs and instill our faith in our children without hesitation. so they can mute our mics and arrest us and kick us off of public property. we're not going to stop. ainsley: she even went on to say the teachers were told if they don't adopt the critical race theory teachings next fall they were told they will be fired. they could be fired, right? brian: yeah. they said all would not have
4:15 am
happened had we not had a pandemic and all these parents are looking over the shoulders of their kids or overhearing zoom calls and saying what the heck is going on here? that's what i find laughable and people should push back on this. when they say this is a republican -- this is a republican culture war that they are pushing in order to be successful in 2022. these people have not been contacted by any politician. they listened to their kids, no one even talks about party. this is about country and education and indoctrination. ainsley: scary that teachers were teaching things we didn't agree with as parent and we didn't know about until the pandemic and when you see that video it looks like a school board facility or church it looks like pews is full, packed because parents care so much about their kids. kids don't have a voice and parents say they're the union for their children. steve: meanwhile we have a sports story to talk a politic about. not too long in the distance will be the olympics. and there will be weight lifting and something that's going to be
4:16 am
different this time there, will actually be transgender weight lifters. ainsley: that's right. laurel hubbard will be the first transgender athlete to ever compete in the olympic games. she is a weight lifter, heavyweight lifter. and she has been competing -- i think she transitioned when she was 35. so she wasn't been competing that long as a female. and then we interviewed tracy lambrich who has been competing for a very long time. she had all of the, what,. brian: 75-kilogram records. ainsley: she had all the records, that's the word i'm looking for. she had all the records. she got a call from her coach and said all of your records have been broken. she said, what? no there is no one even close to me. turns out her records were broken by laurel hubbard. we interviewed her earlier and this is what she said. >> i got a phone call said all my records had just been broken i'm like what do you mean?
4:17 am
there is no one else close to me. i shouldn't have my records broken. and then, yeah, well, laurel started weight lifting and she competed on the weekend so as of now you are number two. it's honestly just to knock women out of sports. women are not want to going to participate where there is an opportunity for them to, you know, win medals or go to international competition. ainsley: so she said they had a discussion about it. what can i do? i am competitive, i want to still compete. how do i break these other records? and they said you can drop weight. you have three weeks to do it to compete in another set of games. and so she did. they told her you have to drop 18 kilograms. so i looked it up. that's 40 pounds in three weeks. she said it was so hard. she super competitive she did it but then she said she couldn't do it any longer so she stopped weight lifting. brian: unbelievable. you can talk about tolerance and
4:18 am
everything else and should be tolerant in life. when it comes to competition there is fairness. when you go ahead and call people bigoted because they say that women should be competing against women and transathletes are different physically push back because there is a -- there is a victim here and it's the people who compete their whole life seven days a week. they show the discipline needed to be successful. turns out of the game is rigged against them. among the people that are uniquely qualified to comment on this is maybe america's finest olympian ever, when he was bruce jenner. now caitlyn jenner and asked about this very topic, listen. >> can you imagine if i would have won the games in '76 which i did and then four years later technically i was trans in 1976. i had not physically changed nothing. but i have been dealing with this issue since i was this big. >> greg: amazing. >> what if in this case this
4:19 am
athlete just four years ago transitioned. what if i had said okay i'm going to transition right after the games and come back four years later and won it in the women's. would that be fair? i don't think it would be. steve: so she says it would not be fair. the international olympic committee apparently has a standard when it comes to trans athletes. the standard is they have to test at a certain testosterone level which apparently laurel hubbard did and they have to have identified with their gender a certain way for a certain period of time. and she has passed both of those marks. ainsley: they have also talked about what are the solutions to this because they are trying to decide the committee is trying to decide how do we make this fair for everybody? and they have talked about doing away with female and male sports just you qualify based on how good you are and maybe giving athletes a handicap like they do in golf. brian: unbelievable that they had to go to these lengths when the answer is pretty clear.
4:20 am
trans athletes should not be competing against the gender they are transitioning to. it's simple as that especially when laurel hubbard was actually competing with the men at a high level and then transitions and then just destroys all the women? how is that fair to the women? steve: well, we're going to see what happens at the olympics. stay tuned. meanwhile, climate activists are targeting another u.s. pipe line but native american business leaders involved with the project are fighting back. we're going to tell that you story coming up next. ainsley: a walk-on college football player who delivered pizzas to pay for tuition gets the surprise of a lifetime. >> you don't need to save anything for that job that you are going to to try to earn money to pay for your tuition delivering pizzas because you are on.

steve: a new energy pipeline in minnesota is being targeted by opponents who want to shut it down. sound familiar? native american business leaders are defending line three pipeline construction after hundreds of environmental activist stormed their site and vandalized their equipment.
4:26 am
matt gordon joins us now. good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: who were these people who showed up and started messing up your equipment? many. >> essentially they claimed to be water protectors and looking out for the rights of the native american people. in the end it ended up being mostly caucasian people that were different ideas on the fossil fuel system. steve: yeah. you know, it is pretty clear and we have heard this even from, you know, people in the administration that a pipeline is a really safe way to get energy from point a to point b. it's safer than trains and trucks and stuff like that. so, you kind of wonder what their motivation is. but, it really rankled you that they showed up to protest and vandalized your equipment. >> yeah. that's the whole issue, i guess, steve, if you look at it, how did the protesters get there to begin with? it's very hypocritical to travel
4:27 am
somewhere to protest oil when you are using gas and powered vehicles. and when you do get there, you end up destroying equipment, leaving debris and garbage all over, most of them were all plastic products and water bottles and packaging. so, pretty frustrating with that when they ended up doing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of vandalism to our equipment. steve: sure, got a statement from enbridge on the damage. while we respect everybody's right to peacefully and lawfully protest. that's not what happened. protesters attempted to trap workers while forcibly entering and the site criminally damaging property this is unacceptable and we will seek the full prosecution of all of those involved. apparently they had to evacuate 44 workers from the site to try to deescalate things. that happened one time. have you got to figure it's going to happen again. don't you think, matt, they think, okay, we shut down the keystone pipeline, we can shut
4:28 am
down line three, too. >> yeah. and that's their mentality of it and then i guess if you look at some of the local newspapers, they show images of the protesters and they are caring for the environment and if you look at it you think like i said you are leaving piles of garbage debris across the pump station. it took three days to clean up the project and check the equipment for safety. it's very frustrating. steve: clear they were trying to shut it down. ultimately the pipeline that it would replace is aging. and it's not as safe as a brand new pipeline. so, you know, you would think if you wanted to protect the environment, you would want as safe a pipeline as possible, right? >> correct. i mean, that's the whole purpose of being replaced. it's older. constructed in 160s, so it's well over 50 years old and the lifetime of the pipeline is expired and then not to mention that the obama administration was the one that putting out

4:36 am
love with him. i will stop. >> i tried to conduct myself as much as a professional i could given the circumstances. >> right. >> it was just, you know, love is love. what are you going to do? >> what christie was going to do was uproot her entire life to try to gain romantic relationship with an incarcerated convict. brian: wow. how do you explain it? falling for pharma bro available on fox nation. fox correspondent laura ingle talked about the love affair what is going through her mind. can you preview without giving tall away? >> i will try here, brian. you know, this is such an interesting story because while america was watching the story of pharma bro with martin shkreli in that story that you described about how he hiked the price of that drug 5,000%, we were all focused on his what many people called his congressy persona. he was smirking when he testified in front of congress.
4:37 am
so then you know, there was this whole other thing going on all the while. this love story behind the scenes. and we have for the very first time an exclusive on camera interview with the bloomberg journalist who fell for pharma bro christie smythe. as we sat down and talked about their relationship she described about meeting him in person for the first time when she broke the story of his arrest he got out and met in person. she said, you know, i also felt that he was maybe using me. he was was manipulating me and lying but then she saw a different side of him in that first conversation. as she started to cover him going through those months and years, that was when she started to realize she was having feelings. didn't actually realize it until much later. listen, this is a woman who had a very solid journalism career at bloomberg. was married had a beautiful brown stone. she was living this perfect life and decided to just kind of push it all aside to have this
4:38 am
relationship with him. she was very open and honest. this is our conversation. >> when did you start to have feelings. >> i think after he was thrown in jail looking back. i was in denial about it for a very long time because here i am this objective journalist, i can't be having feelings. so i kind of pushed it on the shelf, wept about my work and so on but after he went to prison, it was a shock to my system. >> and one of the most shocking things she reveals to us is just how she and martin shkreli have looked to preserve their relationship once he gets out of prison, what their plans are. what her feelings are. and what was so surprising to me, brian, is that she really just had absolutely no holds barred. she laid everything out there were no talking points. and you will see it all on falling for pharma bro. brian: real quick so they're still together. >> well, you know, covid has

responded my request. steve: they are smart about that answer tell us what's happening down at the border. brian: big checks as well as idaho and florida. steve: meanwhile let's start in washington d.c. later today joe biden is going to talk about yes , ladies and gentlemen, i know that there is a big problem with crime in this country. so i'm going to do something about guns. the problem is not all of the crime is related to guns, but nonetheless, you never let a good talking point go to waste and so he's pushing guns. ainsley: they are saying that's the problem and not only are gun s the problem but this going back about five years, but we've seen more of an increase in last 18 months, because of president trump i guess is what they are -- steve: covid. ainsley: she's also saying the last five years which many people are writing about is she just saying that that's because when trump was in office so biden's plan to prevent crime, he wants to stem the flow of firearms by holding firearms dealers accountable. brian: finally. ainsley: support law enforcement
5:03 am
using federal tools, put officer s in areas and become familiar with the residents and wants to invest in interventions and communities. brian: a couple things. crime was rising over the last year and a half, the pandemic had a lot to do with it. also, if you saw president trump during his administration, is there anybody, including his big it's critic or biggest fan that didn't think he was concerned about crime to the point where he put federal troops into portland because no one else wanted to reign it in including saying i'm going to bring in national guard into chicago until the mayor pushed back so she prefers obviously for the gang members to kill themselves at a rate on a regular basis. that's the big difference. there was someone in the white house that was really concerned about crime, but not tone deaf to the point where it wasn't willing to do criminal justice reform because in 1994 when joe biden led an effort to crackdown on criminals in what he called predators, the conventional wisdom was, two years ago when
5:04 am
this passed, that it over sampled, it over targeted minority communities, especially the black community. now, he wants to go back and say guns are the issue and we just got the guns out there will be no crime. nobody believes that. i hope. steve: and we've already heard from this administration, so early in the administration they have called for tougher gun laws as well, so what are they doing? they are looking at what we've been telling you for over a month. that there is a crime problem in the united states, and so what they're doing is they're saying yes there's a crime problem because of the guns. peter doocy pressed jen psaki on just that yesterday and her answer is just exactly what i told you. >> what donald trump president think is a deterrent to commit ting a crime? >> there's been one an increase in violent crime over the last 18 months it's not just over the last few months and actually if you look statistically back it's more over the last five years or so, so there's an initial set of actions, the president has announced to
5:05 am
date to address gun violence back in april. we believe that a central driver of violence is gun violence, and is the use of guns we're seeing that statistically in a lot of areas but he also believes we need to ensure that state and local governments keep cops on the beat, that we're supporting community policing. steve: and so she says it's about the guns, but when you look at the numbers and we put together just some random number s, all scientifically gathered, about how crime is surging, they don't involve guns look at far left. new york city, hate crimes here are up 116%. they don't involve guns. austin, texas, pick pocketing up 117%, carjackings 104% in oakland, california, plus it goes on. ainsley: where did you leave off atlanta? 97% it's up 97%. auto theft in new orleans up 22.6%, los angeles arson is up 20.65%. steve: i don't think you need a gun to start a fire.
5:06 am
ainsley: but what gets you to this point is what we need to talk about. it's defunding the police. if you were a criminal, you know you can get away with more if there aren't as many police out patrolling the streets. brian: right, basically i think you can steal up to $1,000 worth of merchandise out in california and you aren't prosecuted and prostitution is a green light, i should say red light district, but it's if you're a prostitute and i don't know if you're watching now, good news is you aren't prosecuted in new york, so, we have reduced the number of crimes you can commit let alone marijuana laws. on top of that, criminals seem to have less respect for law enforcement because of the way they have been characterized and vilified at the top. i think joe biden is trying to thread a needle. he knows crimes a problem, politically. he knows crimes a problem with the american people, but he can't come out and do a comprehensive look because he's afraid it's going to disproportionately affect minorities so what does he do?
5:07 am
let's go to the one issue the democrats like every day and that is guns, blame them. jason chaffetz is not buying it. >> if you try to blame it on republicans and say hey we need more laws on the books we're going to restrict law-abiding citizens from owning their own guns, then i think you're going to get a lot of pushback. the common denominator in all of this , shannon, these are democratic-controlled cities. they don't enforce the laws, and why not put people in jail? enforce the law. get rid of cash less bail and do those radical things like take criminals off the street. try that for a change. >> i forgot about emptying the prisons we're also doing that. not to build better prisons but because we just want to leave them empty. ainsley: you commit a crime in new york, you go in at 8:00 a.m. , you're out a few hours later. immediately out. brian: for almost everything. steve: but it's a catch 22 because the more violence and crime increases in this country,
5:08 am
the more people are apt to buy a gun to protect themselves, because like can i count on the police? you know, jillian did a story a little while ago about how they are out in portland i believe it was, they're not going after, they're not making certain stops of cars anymore, if you've got expired plates or a broken light or something like that. so can you count on the cops? we hope so but just in case, that's why gun sales have surged over the last year. brian: just so you know these political expert whose want to see democrats be successful, it's democratic mayor, it's democratic district attorneys, that's what is one consistency from los angeles to new york to chicago to philadelphia, anywhere there's a lot of crime, austin, texas, that's the combination. ainsley: if you go into any restaurant, i've been doing this when i go into the restaurants now i'll ask them, are you having a hard time finding waiters? every single time, they say yes. wolfgang puck now is saying its
5:09 am
been such a problem, i can't find waiters, that he is offer ing $120,000 paycheck, and he still can't find waiters. brian: wow. ainsley: listen to this. >> people get paid really well, still it's difficult to find people to work, and it's the same thing. i can not open for lunch time, or even in beverly hills where waiters make $120,000 a year, but i can not find them. steve: you know, we were talk together jasper marable from kansas city and he was talking about how he's got to pay cooks in the kitchen like $50 an hour, because otherwise, the other restaurants will poach the cooks we told you yesterday at lane's chicken fingers which is a texas chicken finger joint, and chain, they are so strapped for , they
5:10 am
want to expand but they can't find people so what he's doing, the ceo, is he's actually taking 16, 17, 18, 19-year-old kids, who are just working the line, he's turning them into managers at $50,000 a year. ainsley: that be nice. steve: that be something that's wolfgang puck territory. ainsley: yeah. steve: he brought with him a teenage manager 19 years old making $50,000 a year and he's got to pinch himself i can't believe i'm making this much money and here they are. watch. i was looking towards my early 20s for the opportunity to come up, you know, i ended upcoming up pretty quick. >> jason fits the bill 100%. the only thing that jason doesn't have is a resume like a normal fast food manager would have of seven to 10 years experience, but he cares about the brand and he was the guy for the job. you know, covid sent a lot of
5:11 am
p.m. in the restaurant industry to different jobs. they found work driving for uber and lyft and things like that and a lot of them just didn't come back. the stimulus that's out there right now is probably affecting the labor force. brian: that's a good point i never thought about the people who leave the business because the business left them, because of the pandemic couldn't go out to eat in most cities but i would say this. when you talk about market forces changing salary demands, that's why you would need a minimum wage if you have a true open market. the problem with that theory as i checked myself on that statement, is that the government got involved and they gave the extra $300 to stay home so that wasn't a free market open market, but the theory is if you have a lot of restaurants and if you need workers, you don't have to worry about the $15 minimum wage. you'll get over that because the market needs it but you don't want government to be bid ding against you for your employees. steve: because, brian, in addition to the fact that government is paying people an additional $300 a week, you've also got these restaurant
5:12 am
s who were taking the ppp money and so they are able to pay somebody more money $50 an hour, so they're taking the government money and that was the point we made, we've been making is if you were working and getting $50 an hour in the kitchen this year, while there's money, great. brian: save it. steve: what happens next year? brian: right. steve: that's the problem because people are going to go if i'm not going to get $50 an hour, i'm going to that chicken joint in texas. brian: i want to amend something i said first hour, chef boy ar-dee was my favorite, but it's wolfgang puck. ainsley: whose the other guy that wears the yellow hat and jacket? he's like a fisherman? he sells fish sticks? gordon fisherman. where does he rank? brian: i'm not sure, if he just fishes and then someone like
5:13 am
chef boy ar-dee would put bread on the fish. ainsley: working together as a team. brian: i don't think he could act alone he needs a team. steve: let's talk about the olympics. the olympics coming up, and we will see something we've never seen before, or certainly has never been as prominent, there will be trans athletes there, and one in particular, ainsley was talking to somebody whose life has been greatly impacted by that new zealand weight lift er who now identifies as a woman. ainsley: well she said they used to she was competing, she held every single record for new zealand. she went to the olympics, she finished number 13th in the world, and she said she got a call from her coach. actually listen to this , let her tell the story. >> i got a phone call and was told all of my records had just been broken and i was like what do you mean? i'm like, there's no one else close to me. i shouldn't have my records broken. yeah, so she started weight
5:14 am
lifting and competed on the weekends so as of now you're number two. it's honestly just women aren't going to want to participate in something where there's an opportunity for them to win medals or go to international competitions. ainsley: so she asks her coach, what do i do now? i want to be number one, and i'm a competitor, and her coach says you got to drop weight. you got to go down in weight so you can compete against people that are skinnier, or you know, whatever, not as strong, and so she says all right, how long do i have to do it? you have three weeks to drop 40 pounds. she said i'm a competitor, so i did it, but she said i can't keep this up, so i ended up giving up weight lifting. brian: so this woman competed as a man and then transitioned for two years and now at 37, is an olympian, and as a woman, and to me, instead of focusing on the trans athlete, i want to focus on the other athletes
5:15 am
around the world who want to train against their gender and all of a sudden found out the game is rigged against them. there's no other way to do it. if you care about women's athletics, you should not be tolerating this. that's end of story. it's not a matter of society accepting, this is a competition you should accept people for who they are, that goes without saying, but if you want to compete, you have the right to have a level playing field. that's the one thing you ask. that's why we do the drug testing and we make sure everything is the same and no matter where you compete in your trials, make sure the international committees okay the u.s. olympic committees and protocols. i know they have a testosterone level, but come on. you barely place with men, and then you become a woman and you dominate, tell me that's not discouraging to people around the world. ainsley: they are trying to come up with a plan to make it fair without discriminating so they can make everybody happy so they've talked about or at least tackled the problem.
5:16 am
they've talked about making like a handicap for like in golf, and you get x amount of, you get a handicap and based on your ability, or maybe no more female, no more male, just you compete against each other. brian: that be great. steve: it's all changing. stay tuned. the olympics coming this summer. all right, quarter after the top of the hour, and jillian joins us with a wrap up of some voting we did yesterday. jillian: that's right so let's get to this. eric adams taking an early lead in the democratic primary for new york city's mayoral race preliminary results show adams was 31% of the vote in the cities first-ranked choice election. >> the little guy won today. >> [applause] >> we are gaining the keys to the prosperity of our city. jillian: andrew yang dropped out of the race after early result showed in had in fourth place, meanwhile curtis leewall won the

5:19 am
send brian kilmeade up on a jet pack? we knew that was not going to end well. brian: i didn't know they didn't work out the kinks yet. steve: they are still working them out. jillian: what happened did you fly up? brian: i kept dropping down. i think the guy was trying to destroy me because he was controlling the toggle. steve: it's like when we bring in the mechanical bull. ainsley: oh, no. steve: it's all dependent on the operator. brian: do you know what i did at the christmas party. i paid the operator to go like i gave him $20 so i stayed on it and i won it but i couldn't sleep that night because i knew i cheated. ainsley: you cheated. brian: right. steve: the same year father jonathan got thrown off? brian: yes, he's not kidding. he's not kidding i beat the priest. he left the priesthood, i wonder if it's related. ainsley: you paid to go gentle on you and slam the priest? brian: no, i didn't pay to slam the priest. ainsley: basically. that was called an offering. brian: it would have been great you're right. i would have got right into
5:20 am
heaven. now, still up in the air. steve: we are able to work so much extra stuff into these a blocks. brian: usually the time we get into trouble. steve: which is right about now. meanwhile, you can not silence patriotism. these proud americans are standing up for their country after the pledge of allegiance was scrapped from a city meeting by the mayor and a couple of them are going to join us live, next.

5:26 am
you can't do that. he didn't have a good answer for you, did he? >> well, we are governed under title 31 in the state of colorado, and we are a weak mayoral system with a statutory community, so no, it was not the right answer, and i feel that we need to start changing that narrative in order for all of us to come together and to kind of heal our community. we need to figure out how to do so, and through the pledge of allegiance which is more patriotic than anything, i feel it's the right way to move forward. steve: sure. >> if we collectively decide to not move forward using the pledge of allegiance then so be it but it has to be a decision of everyone. we do need our community after this. its caused major risk. steve: i bet it did, because jim , he made this unilateral

decision, he didn't consult anybody that you guys knew of, but he was talking about how he suspended it due to direct and indirect threats from maybe anonymous people. do we know anything about that stuff, because i was reading online some people wondered, is he just making that up? >> that's a great question, steve and thank you so much and good morning. to our recollection, to our knowledge, we do not know of any threats whatsoever at that time during that meeting. steve: yeah, and so when he said there was no pledge, there was, you know, suddenly, those were fighting words in that room, jim , weren't they? >> well, they weren't words that a lot of people want to hear. steve: no kidding and carrie, you make the point that you stand for the pledge to stand for your father who fought for this country, right? >> yes, for my father and all

5:34 am
crime skyrocketing, you got to figure, business there is probably pretty good. reporter: that's exactly what they're seeing here, steve. more than 8 million new gun owners in 2020 according to the national shooting sports foundation and if you look at the numbers so far this year, for firearm background checks, they're up 26% from this time in 2020 which, by the way, was a record year. we're at key firearms the owner is jeff regner, and you have been so busy with first-time gun buyers that you've started setting up training right next door to try to teach people how to use the new firearms they are buying. >> that's correct we've been so busy with new gun buyers we decided we would give them free training so they be responsible and know how to use the firearms reporter: you have a whole classroom right next door you're so busy you have people taking tickets when they come in the door. what are people saying when they tell you why they're buying a gun for the first time? >> it's personal protection because the crime is up here in chicago, that they are looking
5:35 am
to protect themselves and their families so looking for firearms and training to get their license to carry. reporter: what do people need to know who are buying guns for the first time because you see these numbers it's millions and millions of people. >> it's how the guns going to fit you and you have to wait, you won't walk out with it, and training, take the class for free. it's free. reporter: guys you said it. the president expect expected to address gun violence today, and gun safety is expected to be among the things that he talks about. any time a democrat talks about tighter gun laws, firearm sales, they go up typically. ainsley: hold those dealers more accountable, he says. steve: grady thank you very much live report outside of chicago. brian? brian: all right, that's what's happening in this country some of the major cities but it's not the only place where crime is happening let's bring in nebraska gop governor pete ricketts talking about what's happening at the border but first things first. governor thanks for joining us. are you concerned about the level of crime in some major cities, how is it affecting
5:36 am
nebraska? >> well, we don't have the same problem as some of the major cities though we have seen an increase in crime, and i've got to tell you i think a lot of it ties back to this whole de fund the police movement, and some of the disruptions we had in civil society last year, and i think that's part of what, when you start undermining that basic foundation, you start breaking apart the bonds that hold us together and that's why you see an increase in crime so one of the first things that democrats could do is start re can'ting this whole defund the police movement and support our law enforcement officers, because they have a tough job and it's a dangerous job, they risk their lives for us and we need to support them and not tear them down. brian: i think there's some panic among democrats i hate to be cynical but because it's over overwhelming whose to blame, governors on the republican side , or their opponents really don't even register in the approval ratings. they can't even get support from their own party in chicago and los angeles and austin, texas and philadelphia and new york,
5:37 am
and they are responsible for the emptying of the prisons and these da's. in turn, president biden is going to announce an anti-crime strategy that really revolving around guns and where they come from and tracking them down he believes guns are the problem. as governor of nebraska what do you think? >> yeah, that has never been the issue. guns are not the problem here. the gun laws that we passed and gun control things that the president wants to do are only going to back law abiding citizens. criminals don't pay attention to those laws. what we need to do is focus on the underlying root causes. we've done that here in nebraska with a variety of our policies. we know, for example, that a lot of violence stems from drug and alcohol abuse and so we put in policies to address that and those are really things that the president should be focusing on. taking away guns from law abiding citizens is not the answer and let's get back to one of the problems we have here is this whole defund the police movement. why doesn't president just start
5:38 am
by recanting defund the police and come out in support of our please. brian: the woman that right now seems to be in second place in new york ran on defunding the police. they took $1 billion out of the budget so even when congressman clyburn comes up and says it's a bad move he should tell the rest of his party because they don't believe that. they think it's the problem. governor ricketts you've also taken action, along with other republican governors of florida, for example, and idaho. you said to governor abbott of texas, i'll help you. i'm going to send some state troopers down. why did you do it? what will they be doing? >> well one of the things we've seen which is a fail our of the biden administration is their policy on the southern border and border security. we've seen a record number, for example, of interactions with the customs and border patrol, 180,000 in may, compared to 23,000 a year ago may. we've seen that the biden administrations not arresting people, the last few months the
5:39 am
trump adminitration, i.c.e. was making 6,500 arrests or 6,800 arrests a month, and the biden administration that cuts down to 2,500 in february, so, what we're seeing is just the rush to undo the trump era of border policies has led to a lack of border security and created a crisis at the border and so since the federal government is failing to act, the states are acting, it's what governor abbott is doing in texas, he's requested help from states like nebraska. we've done this in the past, with other situations, from minnesota during the chauvin trial and also in minnesota or in north dakota, but we want to help them out to be able to get this crisis under control. brian: yeah, so you are. you're pitching in because the federal government isn't. 930,000 illegal immigrants have been processed in the last eight months. that's bigger than so many cities across the country. it's great hearing from you governor and we love the radio shows carried on koil and klin,

it demonizes white children. it claims that black people who don't follow a far left marxist agenda absorb whiteness. we can't have this. america can't have this , so every opportunity that a parent has to stand up against this , go to the school governor's board, identify them, call them out, use your voice. this is exactly what america is. exactly. ainsley: but you don't have to reelect them down the road but they are making decisions for what happens in the fall after the pandemic and when kids go back-to-school and if the entire board is for critical race theory, and they're going to vote to decide if it gets in the school and they told that mom that if the teachers they told the teachers were told if you don't teach this you'll get fired. >> you know, i'm afraid it's time for civic courage. the teachers who are being told that to walk, for parents who are being told that, to walk. it's the officials at the school that are the problem.
5:49 am
it's them that has to be called out on this. it's them that has to be criticized, and the parents and others should know that they are in the right. right is on their side. it is a racist agenda that crt is pushing and i just hope that many people as possible realize they need to have the courage to call this out, vote with their feet, walk away from these neoracists. brian: start with the 1619 project has been forces out there, pushing this and i think people are just waking up to it. douglas murray thanks so much. >> thank you. ainsley: thank you. brian: meanwhile, what about this story? a bartender's quick thinking helps a woman being harassed. getting out of potentially dangerous situation, he joins us live, as his late night heroics now go viral but first. ainsley: let's check in with dana perino. dana: i saw that story aunt the bartender i'm excited to see what he has to say a really great guy. thanks guys we'll see you soon. all eyes are on britney spears she hasn't been in charge of her

a cool morning in new york city, and boy do i love it. let's take a look at the temperatures across the country and it's not the only cool spot as we saw a cold front kind of sweep across the country here in the last 24 hours, 62 degrees in new york, it was down in the 50s , 66 in chicago a big cool air mass in the center of the country but that's not the only weather story we're watching what's happening in the central plains as there's some rain right now moving through illinois into indiana, but that's an area where we're going to see possibly severe weather later today and of course, we will be paying attention to that throughout the rest of the day. for now that's your forecast, ainsley, back into you. ainsley: thank you so much, adam i'm excited to go out there and feel that forecast. that weather you say it's so nice. when two women were being harassed by a man at a bar down in florida, one quick thinking bartender saved the day, pretend ing to hand the women their receipt he instead gave them this note telling the women to move their pony tail, their hair, to one side of the
5:57 am
shoulder if the man was bothering them he would kick the man out. one of the women later sharing that phaedo on twitter thanking the no vaccinated answer chi is name of the restaurant employee for his help. that bartender, joins us live now, hey, max. >> hey, how you guys doing? ainsley: we're doing well and when i read about the story every woman across america when she read about this story thought where's max when we need him. tell us what happened. >> well, these girls came up to the bar on a sunday night for a drink. the guy showed up with his dog, seen him there a couple times i never had a problem with him, but this night, he used the dog as his ploy to get the women to talk to him and after he tried to buy them a drink and kept asking them questions they made it clear they weren't interested and he just wasn't taking no for an answer. ainsley: and you noticed this , and he was just, so what did you do to step in? tell us what we're seeing right now we're looking at what looks like a receipt but it's your note. >> yeah, well i didn't want to
5:58 am
make the wrong assumption, maybe they knew him or something like that, so i quickly printed up a receipt, wrote a little note on there, and slipped it to her, and let her know she could give a subtle queue to let me know if she needed help. ainsley: did she do that? >> actually, she said she was fine, and shortly after that, the guy got up and left, but he did come back and i let him know he had to leave. ainsley: oh, my gosh. so what did the women say when you talked to them afterwards? >> they were very grateful, you know, they felt the note was a good idea. i heard them say multiple times that they weren't interested and he just wasn't listening, so they were pretty happy we were able to get him out of there. ainsley: more than 200 people have liked this on twitter. you've gotten responses from all over the world. what are people saying? >> most people are pretty positive, they are pretty happy the bartenders and staff are still able to do things like this and we're always keeping an eye on people, so i've gotten
