3:06 am
ainsley: and all three suspects are in custody. they are still questioning them. the male officer who is continuing to fight for his life, his pastor said that they're praying for him. they had a moment of silence in the church services yesterday. and the individual who was shot, the police officer his dad says he will not leave his side. the brother of legal french as you heard todd saying he said she was a person of integrity, always did the right thing even when no one was looking. there is a picture of her. he said she loved to travel. and her travel partner was her mother. will: i love you sharing those details because numbers can be bloodless. you need to focus on the story themselves. the people behind these tragedies. let me give you context for just one moment. let me give you numbers because i think they're important. we give so much attention and do so much national reassessment based on the idea that unarmed black men are being killed by police some kind of epidemic level. 2019 the number was 14. 14 unarmed black men killed by
3:07 am
officers. people don't know that by the way. look at polling, not just liberals. conservatives as well vastly that number. 14. on the other hand, 43 officers are killed in the line of duty every year. on average 43 officers. that same year in 2009, 14 unarmed black men were killed. 5 officers were killed in the line of duty. just one more number for you, ainsley because you said this earlier. another monday after chicago. 450 murders every year on average in chicago. ainsley: we talk about this all the time monday morning we get packets of information and we read through them all in our offices before the show. and always on monday morning the top of the stack are the statistics and how many people were killed in chicago. and some of these big cities. chicago is always at the top of the stack. this morning we got the stack of papers and information, 24-year-old shot twice in the neck. three times in the back. died at the hospital. 37-year-old shot 8 times critical condition. five others shot in a lounge. 3 8-year-old shot in the stomach. critical condition. 56-year-old shot. 33-year-old shot.
3:08 am
23-year-old man in the face. 37-year-old bomb shot in the back and the list goes on and on. two security guards they would not let a gunman into the club. one guard was shot multiple times, other guard shot in the back two times and shot in the side. serious and critical condition. steve: well, remember where we are, we are in 2021 now. during the surgeon of 2020. america has a much different place. remember all the protests on the street and some people were protesting the killing of george floyd. fast forward to now and you look at the public opinion polling, we were talking about this last week. the latest "u.s.a. today" poll shows 77% of americans across all political stripes favor having more cops. they do not think defunding the police is a good message. they don't like it. and that is why when we stared off with cori bush doubling down on message defund the police. there are no mainstream democrats who say she is exactly right.
3:09 am
because had what she is saying is going to come back to haunt the democrats. forget about public safety. message wise, politically, it is a terrible message we have heard it from clyburn of south carolina. we have heard it from others. it is a dumb idea. if we are not safe, we need to people take care of us. those people are the police. although cori bush, for three months she spent $70,000 to take care of her. ainsley: if you can't afford your own private security team what do you do? you call the police. steve: of course no one can afford their own security team. will: blasting that message anthony it this movement to defund the police. >> progressives and socialists online and on media constantly tweeting and posting about these gang bangers in the streets that are assaulted by the police. and what do you dehumanizing the police. our first responders are so smart they know who the people
3:10 am
are they know who the enemy against their departments are and they're hypocritical. they are the ones who constantly defund the police but sending emails to the mayor or to the administration to send more police to neighborhoods. this is a direct assault. this is not going to end. not only is it a gang banger problem but a political problem in the city of chicago where it's about the party and it's not about people. will: this movement will only come back to haunt be democratic party and cori bush's party. steve: you know who last week who said they were against defunding the police, that's joe biden. from the podium jen psaki said joe biden has never called for defunding the police. he has in the past asked for reallocation but, nonetheless doesn't think it's a good idea and disagrees with cori bush. ainsley: progressives have so many followers on social media. who is really on social media and writing comments and following really the younger jerks. they like the progressives. the older generation don't like this idea at all.
3:11 am
steve: anyway, so that kicks off our monday telecast. straight ahead, on our show, it's back to school season already. you probably know looking for clothe and stuff like that. america's top doctors are calling for kids to mass up in their classroom. the best way to keep can a robe that at bay. that's coming up next. you are watching "fox & friends" live from new york city. ainsley: on this monday. ♪ note paul loves food. but his diabetes made food a mystery. everything felt like a “no.” but then paul went from no to know. with freestyle libre 14 day, now he knows how food affects his glucose. and he knows when to make different choices.

3:17 am
quote: phony bipartisan. >> democrats are going to write this bill. it's going to be a terrible bill. they there are going to be things in bill that no republican should vote for that there is no defense for. jillian: tennessee senator bill haggertyy not one of the republicans giving in and he joins us in the next hour. go to the olympics now because they came to a close in tokyo. athletes gathering in the national stadium as the flimp flame was put out. volleyball player haley washington cries tears of joy gold meddings the america's first ever for the sport. are fighter jets flu over the city forming the french flag in colored smoke. they were supposed to fly football sized field from the eiffel tower but will to change plans due to the weather. in the end, the u.s. came out on top with 1 total medals and 39 golds medals as you see they surpassed china in gold by one
3:18 am
which last week we kept saying come on can you do it. ainsley: ahead by one and overall's. won i do one. will no matter when you win by 100 or by one. you win. ainsley: ricky bobby if you are not first you are last. and we are first. steve: how many know that ratings were historically lousiy. jillian: now everyone who swatching us is aware. ainsley: do you think because fans couldn't go or became so political. jillian: i have no idea. i didn't see a second of it. will: i have several theorist i laid them out on the will cain podcast. i i have five theories. i will give you the main one. ainsley: how much time do we have? will: i think when we all grew up the olympics massive riflely sports about rivalry the united states 1st soviet union. i tuned in to watch the u.s. whip the soviet union's butts. today we have a rivalry china subtle and under the service.
3:19 am
it is a real rivalry. i don't know testimony that americans understand that and tune in to see the u.s. vs. china. now, we have internal rival his. now about americans vs. americans. that doesn't tune you out as a viewer. ainsley: people are saying take the politics out of sports. will: yeah. steve: ration on all the sports are down. ainsley: all sports are political. steve: people are no longer watching or television or getting all the information on that phone. will: one of my theories is you have too many options as well. so many is entertainment options. steve: life was so much easier, will when there were just three channels. will: three cereals, three channels easy choice. ainsley: everyone getting ready to go back to school. if kids are in uniforms getting them cleaned. buying new it i talked to a friend he has to wear a suit. trying to shop on good bargain on suit. you are getting'n getting ready and cdc is coming out with their recommendations for whether or
3:20 am
not your children schud should be in masks. the cdc is saying you should wear masks regardless of vaccination. but the federal government is not requiring it. some states are saying yes, you have to do it. others are saying no, you don't have to. steve: you know. the problem is uneven from state to state. for instance, in california and illinois, according to the "wall street journal," kids are going to have to go with masks. but you look at arizona and florida, and the governors in those states say no masks. although it generally varies from locality to locality. ultimately, people want to know if my -- and it all comes down to this. we don't want another year like last year where the kids were watching zoom in a room. you want the kid to be in a classroom with the teacher in the classroom. and what they're saying right now is the price of admission is vaccination for all the teachers and we're not going to do it until we get that good ventilation, social distancing and masking.
3:21 am
will: price of admission doesn't follow the science or data. we know at this point. we have 12 months of research on the risk of covid to children. as their own health threat or anyone else. meaning to transmit to anyone else. covid has for children under the age of 18 less of a risk than the common flu. that doesn't stop doctors for calling for mask mandates like you are talking about, ainsley. watch thmplets it's not a political statement. or an invasion of your liberties. this is a life-saving medical device. anding can kids to wear masks is uncomfortable but you know, kids are pretty resilient. >> protect the kids with a shield of vaccinated people. for the kid who can't get vaccinated that's the reason why we are having a strong recommendation that in the schools everybody should wear a mask. whether or not you are vaccinated. we have got to protect the children. >> we need to be working with our employers. not opposing them. on vaccine mandates. my members have stepped up. 90% of the teacher members have
3:22 am
actually gotten the vaccine. but i do think that the circumstances have changed and that vaccination is a community responsibility and it weighs really heavily on me that kids under 12 can't get vaccinated. steve: did she just say that 90% of the teachers are not gotten the vaccine. ainsley: have gotten it. steve: oh, good. i have got to clean out the taters in my ears as my mom used to say. ainsley: she says she is trying to find solutions and rising cases across america is alarming to her revisiting mask mandates. steve: they are. here -- in the op-ed section of the "wall street journal" dr. marty makary and h. cody meisner have written something it's really interesting. they say the cdc has mandated mask they're i object conclusive if it actually reduces coronavirus because they say no research has been done by the nih on kids and masks.
3:23 am
even though they spent billions of dollars. you got to wonder why wouldn't the nih do any research on kids in masks unless the teachers union has said look we don't want to be guided by science we want to be guided by politics. ainsley: go ahead, will. will: this is what they wrote specifically that op-ed. any child who wants to wear a mask should be free to do so. forcing them to make personal health and developmental sacrifices for the sake of adults who refuse to get immunized is abusive. before we order the masking of 56 million americans to young to vote. show data weighing the benefits and weigh them against the long-term hammerschmidt. i'm honestly very confused at this point. steve: the doctors say the data is so tiny. it's inconclusive they say. will: just this past week what they call the most conclusive study yet conducted in the world by multiple research universities in england, looked at the risk of code to children under the age of 18. and they found 25 deaths for
3:24 am
kids under the age of 1. this is in the nation. the u.k. population of 12 million children. so, there is data. we are starting to understand the risk to children of covid. now, they are unknowns, there will always be unknown, especially long-term unknowns both with the vaccine and with covid. we have to be honest about our own knowns and our humility. we do understand right now the common flu both in terms of hospitalization and death is more serious to children's health than covid. so, why are we talking about masking and forced vaccinating our children. explain to me in light of that data? steve: all the headlines these days those are outline the delta variant is, you know, is sending so many kids to the hospital and i was reading a story yesterday about kids the number one demographic of people in the hospital were children and a number of children were on ventilators. we have heard it's not as
3:25 am
serious as covid a alpha. but delta is much more contagious. the worry is if the kid depose to school and gets delta and takes it home they could actually kill somebody in their family. which is ultimately what the health professionals worry about. and that's what we should all be worried about. we want to mitigate the circumstances so the chances of those kids catching it or spreading it are as close to zero as possible. ainsley: every doctor you talk to has a different opinion. certain doctors saying they're not for the mask. dr. fauci and others saying they definitely want the mask. i have friends who say they don't want the vaccination because it was called warp speed. they don't want anything that was quickly produced and they don't want to stick it in their body until the it's approved by the fda. steve: which sounds like just a couple of weeks away now. ainsley: correct. now you have dr. marty makary in that op-ed saying children with glasses, they are fogging up because of the mask. they have acne problems and skin problems.
3:26 am
it's discomforting. and levels of carbon dioxide going up in the blood. vectors of pathogens if they become moist or used too long. the list goes on and on. i wish they would say parents if you are concerned about your kids getting the variant or your children have not have cody yet. maybe you decide to put a mask on your child. i wish they would let parents decide. but i do want schools to reopen. and i don't want the zoom classes anymore. if it takes wearing mask, okay, we will do it we will comply and follow the rules. i wish they would give parents the choice. steve: we will see what happens. will: we want to get to in this morning. two bits of information some news on governor andrew cuomo. his assistants, his top aide der rosa the aid that stepped forward and said that nursing home data was hidden. the number of doctors hidden not honest about the number of people placed in the nursing homes and subsequently died from covid. meanwhile, executive assistant
3:27 am
number one comes forward. this is criminal complaint against cuomo shoe. is what she has to say about the criminal complaint she is filing against governor cuomo. >> why did you file that criminal complaint with the sheriff's office? >> it was the right thing to do. the governor needs to be held accountable. what he did to me was a crime he broke the law. i believe that my story appears first due to the nature the inappropriate conduct that the governor did to me. i believe that he groped me. he touched me not only once but twice. that was the most inappropriate of the actions that he had done.
3:28 am
steve: you have that story there. at the same time the assembly number of people realize the writing is on the wall. is he requesting to go eventually. will the longer they stretch out before they're able to impeach him. the more time he gets to try to wiggle himself out of it the democrat say the longer it takes, the more it looks like we are trying to cover for him. ainsley: if the delta variant spreads and another shut down they might not have the assembly. so many different factors here. she goes on to say that he grabbed her breasts and they were taking a selfie together and he put his hand on her rear end during the selfie. two thirds of the state assembly have said they are in favor of impeachment trial. nearly 63 members of the senate have called for cuomo know step down or be removed. will: lisa booth on the big sunday show governor cuomo well, is he a sociopath, watch. >> well, i think governor cuomo is a sociopath. here is someone who wrote a book about his so-called covid leadership and made the kind of money off of it at a time that
3:29 am
he knew that his policies were directly responsible for the death of spow sands of seniors. i think if someone can do that they are capable of anything and, look, i'm not a believe all women person. i think people lie. they vetted this they vetted these women's stories. i commend them for stepping forward. that does take an incredible amount of courage. and i hope andrew cuomo bears the consequences of the terrible decisions and his actions that he made. steve: the news is as we said a moment ago, andrew cuomo's secretary melissa der rosa the highest ranking nonelected official in the state of new york called it quits yesterday. ainsley: the office dwindling dwindling. more and more people are leaving. steve: coming up on 6:30 in the east. in chicago, a police officer there shot and killed this weekend. identified and another officer is fighting for his life at this hour. ainsley: the head of the chicago

steve: it's preventable, isn't it? >> well, it certainly is, you know. we say that it's an inherent risk when you decide to be a law enforcement officer, but, the reckless policies that are permeating throughout this country make it more and more possible every day and it's inexcusable and avoidable. steve: john, last year there were protests all across the country regarding the killing of george floyd, a lot of people were talking about defunding the police. you know, the public opinion of police wavered. where are we now a year later regarding all of that? >> well, i know specifically here in chicago, you know, the council finally stood up and had a voice and called the superintendent to the carpet and had a very lengthy discussion about police policies and where we are headed in the city of chicago. they need do that more often and do it again and follow up because a lot of answers weren't

4:08 am
now consider the situation at the border a crisis? >> >> look, we are going to at this point to manage this in a way that balances the security of this country with the need to do the right thing but the most important thing and you can use whatever word you want, but it's certainly something that has not been resolved over years and years is the need for real meaningful immigration reform. >> is something going wrong on the border from the administration's perspective? >> well, something is wrong with america's decades long failure to have comprehensive imation reform. and there is clearly a lot of work to be done there the president supports meaningful legislative action and we are hopeful that that is possible. steve: here's the thing the president knows will, to your point that there is a terrible coronavirus problem on our southern border with the migrants. apparently according to nbc news on thursday the president got a briefing and he was given the numbers and they are jaw dropping. over the last three weeks about
4:09 am
20% of the migrant families leaving border patrol custody have controversies. about one in five. about 20% unaccompanied children have coronavirus. and also said that with the migrants who are being ordered for expedited deportation, 25% of them have coronavirus, which means they can't support them. they have got to isolate them until they are cured. so the president as mean the numbers. one in five of the people down there have a problem with coronavirus. serve worried about coronavirus in the country, obviously. but why isn't the concern about the people coming into the country bringing coronavirus? ainsley: it's baffling. and that's what a lot of people are talking about. steve: it's baffling. ainsley: across the country. a third those that came across in june were attempting to cross, have attempted to cross
4:10 am
before. this is not their first time. will: they're being released. ainsley: many of them are. will: scandal in its own right. they're being released positive with coronavirus on top of the fact that they're breaking the law on legal immigration in the united states. earlier i spoke to a doctor in the border town of rio grand city, his name was dr. antonio falcone. he talked about these illegal immigrants being released into his community and referred to in most cases to a local physician. listen. >> we are, again, in another major public health crisis here in south texas. and, unfortunately, it's clearly a mess and could have been avoided. as a result of the surge, regardless of what people outside of here think, it is very closely related to the number of migrants that have come across that are either testing positive and being released early or not being tested at all. as those migrants are released and travel north. they continue to be infectious
4:11 am
because the cdc guidelines for quarantine and isolation are not being followed. >> and here is something that i did not realize, not tested unless the person has a covid symptom which i don't know how the border patrol person could tell they are not tested. and that's why, according to this report, the high positivity rate is straining the resources for that dr., dr. falcone and the ngos like catholic charity and things like that down at our southern border. that's why they had to open up the tent city. will: you know, steve, ainsley, i sometimes think all -- alls stories in the 7:00 rules for thee but not for me. let them eat cake. two divisions in society. elites and everyone else. we have cori bush saying not let them eat cake let them eat led. i will defund the police and
4:12 am
give me my private security. why? i'm more important than you i need it i'm doing the work. here it comes with the coronavirus, mixed messages every step of the way. rules for you watching at home and not for them. lockdowns you have to stay home. gavin newsom gets to go french laundry. you need to wear masks, your children need to wear masks this upcoming school year at least right now in the state of new jersey but president barack obama can throw a party at march that's vineyard inside of a tent rife with celebrities. full of celebrity dancing around and nobody masking. and then when it comes to the border. we can talk about all the risks that against science. antiscience perspective our children present and yet illegal immigrant on the southern border coming through testing positive or not tested at all for coronavirus. that's not a crisis. rules for thee but not for me. contradictions everywhere simply because they don't buy their b.s. they will don't have to live by these rules.
4:13 am
give that you picture. >> apparently the performers who posted that had to take it down. hey you can't post any pictures. oh, we forgot. we told you last week that apparently the former president had invited 500 people and then it hit the fan and there was narrative problem. the administration is trying to get rid of delta virus come out and have big party. scale back. only close friends and family. ultimately it sounds like so it went from 500 to 400. ainsley: i'm sorry for that 100 that got disinvited. only friends and. steve: they called everybody up and reinvited them. so for the most part everybody showed up. and what's interesting is anthony fauci, you know, over the weekend he was talking about how dangerous the event at sturgess is with the harley rally. that was terrible. not a word about what could have
4:14 am
been a super spreader at the obama place or at lollapalooza last week. not everybody at that party was vaccinated. don't give me oh all the protocols. steve: they said they had to. will: all these reliable tests that we 100 percent confront and i'm sure every single one of those celebrities was vaccinated. i'm sure. ainsley: we are pro-birthday party. it's fine. have your birthday party. will: absolutely. ainsley: if you are going to tell us we have to follow all these rules you have to follow them as well. "new york times" white house correspondent annie carney she went around the island of march that's vineyard and interviewing people about what they thought. some were for it some were against it listen to this. >> that feeling on the island i heard mentioned things from people i interviewed. there were people who were legitimately upset that there was going to be hundreds of people traveling across the country showing up on the island. a small community.
4:15 am
other people said, you know, this is really being overblown. they are following all the safety precautions. people are going to sporting events that are bigger than this. this is going to be safe. this is a sophisticated vaccinated crowd and this is just about optics not about safety. will: there you have it explain. this is a sophisticated crowd. this is different. steve: all about optics she said. and the optics last week were it's going to be terrible because there are 500 people in a tent. how many people are today on monday saying you know, it looks like they had 400 or 500 people in that tent. what's up with him saying we are requesting to scale it back but didn't scale it back. ainsley: i do hope it was not a super spreader. i don't want anyone to have obviously the coronavirus. this is dr. ronny jackson this is what he tweeted out if obama can have hundreds of unmasked people over for a birthday party then regular people should not have to wear masks either. the liberal elite love making rules that they can't follow
4:16 am
themselves. zero science behind mask mandates just politics. will: it don't be a super spreader ainsley. there won't be massive numbers. the point is let us live by the same rules you make and don't follow yourself. let us live the way you want to live. ainsley: it was a three day event a big brunch yesterday, too. steve: i will say this the pictures i saw it was a crazy party. it was a fantastic party. ainsley: rapper and his manager they tweeted out those pictures the decor and dance floor. they took it down posted pictures of them smoking marijuana that is legal in massachusetts. steve: so anyway, it looks like the former president had a big party. fun time had by all. we are not invited. jillian: i was not. will: jillian were you invited? jillian: i was not invited not sophisticated enough. will: eagles fan. jillian: thanks, will.

4:35 am
was over a quarter of a trillion dollars in holes. there is enough to expedite this in the dank of night. the whole purpose is to obfuscate. this is a distraction from what is chuck schumer's goal that is to light the fuse on $3.5 trillion debt bomb that's right around the corner. i stopped that. this is the world's greatest deliberative body right here in the senate. it's given my 99 other colleagues a chance to review this and understand what's happening. for us to have this conversation this morning and for the american public to see what's in it. what this brought sunshine to the process. a member of the bipartisan committee that put this together say look i'm not going to be able to vote for this anymore after reviewing the cbo score. also putting a lot of pressure on members in the house who are in swing districts hearing from their constituents the same way i am in tennessee. this is far too big. far too monitorster russ. not enough hard infrastructure in it and far too much debt for our children.

steve: is there any vote buying going on behind the scenes? >> >> it's hard to say as we move through this package we find out what's in it chance for taxpayers to find out what exactly is going on. there is a lot of negotiation that takes place here in the senate and certainly will happen in the house, too. what we need to understand what is around the corner. sets up $3.5 trillion package. that's a massive amount of money. steve, the biggest social program set off since the 160s since lyndon johnson's great society program. we cannot do this in the middle of the night. nancy pelosi has made this clear get this infrastructure bill hold it hostage until she gets the $3.5 trillion completely partisan bill they want to pass through a very different med. a med they use only 50 votes and bring kamala harris in to push it across the finish lane. the american people don't want to see this. steve: senator, the 18
4:37 am
republicans who have voted for it so far, you know, none of them want the $3.5 trillion extravaganza for infrastructure that's not really infrastructures. how are you so sure that one, the little infrastructures bill is going to lead to the great big one? >> well, i think that nancy pelosi has made it as clear as anyone foo she is not going to take up the small one if you want to call 1.2 trillion a small one. until she gets the $3.5 trillion debt bomb in her hands. president biden revealed the strategy within to two hours. of course he is not going to sign it until the $3.5 trillion package is on his desk. he is doing them in tandem. chuck schumer calls this a two track process track one he is moving immediately to track two. as soon as he gets the infrastructure bill out of the way moving to the $3.5 trillion package. he want to light that fuse and leave for vacation.

where he stands today what is it i think 60, 70% of the new york population wants him to go. almost awesome democratic party wants him to go. everyone wants him go. and he might be looking at criminal charges incoming and yet he is still in office. >> everyone here knew of this environment for a very long time. this is not something you suddenly turn into two weeks ago or a year ago. this is the nature of your behavior it can be systemic. it can be a culture within an institution. it goes on. and then as it breaks up, then you see what's happening. this is a man who has been protected for a very long time. was in the cabinet at the federal government at one point a famous family. extraordinary father brother in television. they own everything emotionally and otherwise. they are the power. nothing happens to them in their minds. , think, i think, is still a position of kind of cognitive disbelief in a sense that this n this is occurring. you see people bike northam,
4:45 am
bill clinton and others surviving scandals if you wait it out long enough. clearly that's not going to happen here. what's important about the interview here with this executive assistant number one as she was dubbed is that americans are able to see that these are real team. that this was difficult they could be your sister, best friend and daughter. it becomes more real. he has had the benefit of women being afraid of coming forward and being seen as real individuals who have been through something very difficult. so that interview was important. i understand when women don't want to. it's not necessary. but, in this kind of a public dynamic for people to know that you are not just an empty silhouette on television matters when it comes to perception. ainsley: tammy, we watched some of these women come forward and have various media outlets and watched his presser all the videos of hugging and kissing different people. but then last week his attorneys at the end of the week had their presser they had valid arguments
4:46 am
if you go through the timeline of the day throughout the mansion, one of the accusers stayed until the end of the day. why didn't she complain earlier you? hear both sides of the story. where does this go now? >> i think we are going to see this with the impeachment as an example in albany. so he would have -- they complained also, he didn't get all the evidence. that would be necessary if when he would have to respond to an impeachment dynamic. but, remember when nixon resigned, he didn't resign because he suddenly had this better sense of himself that it was wrong, it was when he found that the house of representatives all but four republicans were tallied and were going to vote for impeachment, he knew then politically there was no survival. and i think that cuomo is going to wait to see this. when we think what their answers are. clearly with power women often obviously don't respond in the moment. there is fear, it's not just about for your job. it might be a physical fear. danger for your family. a threat that you will never
4:47 am
work again anywhere when you are dealing with one of the most powerful men in your state. that is very heavy burden to bear. so, those kinds of arguments are really americans have learned about the issue and they understand the choices women make and this young woman coming forward now makes it clear she finally feels safe to do so. that's why i think even more will come forward, frankly, in the future. steve: we will see how long he is able to hold on politically. >> this is a lesson for everyone. another piece of education. it's not like a man like this would not ever do it again, but, we understand more about the process that happens. i think that's posh. steve: tammy, thank you very much. >> thank you. steve: nice to see you back in the studio. meanwhile, we are in the studio. but adam klotz is out on the street with the fox weather forecast on this kind of humidy day. >> yeah. good morning, guys. as you said kind of humid, soggy out here on the ground on fox square. temperatures on the comfortable side.

4:55 am
files secret. why? >> like many americans, i don't trust the fbi. and the cuia and the fact that they have worked secretly behind the scenes to stop these documents from being released to the american public begs the question what are they hiding? what are in those documents? americans are entitled to the truth of this. back in 1992, congress passed a law signed by then president george w.w. bush that these documents are to be released in 25 years, in 2017, 25 years was up, to his credit, president trump released thousands of documents. we dig into those, there are some surprising resultant information this n. those documents. but, thousands more are yet to be released and trump october 26th of this year for the president to release the

5:05 am
are at the center of these debates. you've done a good job shining a light on officer ella french, and it is important to recognize the human being behind the story. someone who reportedly did the right thing even when nobody was watching. ainsley: exactly. that's what her brother said. look how beautiful she is. she would have been a mother probably one day and that's robbed from her. she loved to travel, and her travel partner was her mother, her best friend, and they would take about three or four trips together. and now that is just robbed of her mother as well. steve: surely. and, you know, over the last year we've heard so much about defund the police. the only person, for the most part, on television over the weekend who says it's a good idea is cori bush. it's interesting because if you look at the mainstream media -- and there she is right there -- remember, we played the sound bite on friday about how she said, you know, i've spent $70,000 on my own private
5:06 am
security, and i'd spend $200,000 if i had so, so suck it up, we must defend police. she said last week on cbs. and then she doubled down over the weekend. but what's interesting is the mainstream media has avoided those comments. instead, they have focused on how she slept on the steps of the capitol and how she fought for the vixx moratorium -- eviction mother tore rum, she grabbed the national spot. they talk about -- spotlight. they don't talk about defunding the police because with all of the public opinion polls, a gigantic majority of americans think defunding the police is a bad idea. ainsley: they used to talk about it, and then the polls came out and showed the majority of americans, i think only 18% are for defunding the police. the majority of you do not think we should defund police. will: wait until democrats see the polls which have not yet been conducted, but i can make some predictions because like
5:07 am
clock clockwork, you can predict this issue coming. as parents preparedded for their kids to return to school, wait million the polling comes back on how parents feel about what you're about to hear from doctors talking about our children returning to school. >> this is not a political statement or an invasion of your liberties. this is a life saving medical device, and asking kids to wear a mask is uncomfortable. but, you know, kids are pretty resilient. >> protect kids with a shield of vaccinated people so the kids who can't get vaccinated, that's the reason why we're having a strong recommendation that in the schools everybody should wear a mask whether or not you're vaccinated. we've got to protect the children. >> we need to be working with our employers, not opposing them, on vaccine mandates. my members have stepped up. 90% of the teacher members have actually gotten the vaccine.
5:08 am
but i do think that the circumstances have changed and that vaccination is a community responsibility, and it weighs really heavily on me that kids under 12 can't get vaccinated. will: you know, this debate is constant9ly framed as though it's an inconvenience. people who don't want to wear mask just don't like them? how about it doesn't follow the science? the week of july 31st the cdc reports that there were .5 per million, .5 per 1 million kids who went to the hospital for reportedly covid, but they test everyone that goes into the hospital. the kids went into the hospital for a variety of reasons. imagine 25 kids who went to the hospital. what science, what threat, what risk are we responding to here with these more than, more than inconvenient policies? steve: well, the delta variant is what changed everything because joe biden a couple months ago now said, you know what? if you get the shot, you don't
5:09 am
have to wear the mask anymore, and we loved that. but then a week or two weeks ago, you know what in this delta thing is changing everything, and that also is what republican governor of the great state of arkansas, asa hutchinson, said over the weekend. he said facts change. he said it was an error for the state of arkansas, for him to sign a law banning mask mandates as the state sees covid cases surge close to last winter's peak. i'm reading right off of the daily mail, things have changed. so going into, you know, this happens just as we get ready to send the kids to school. so we're trying to figure out what to do. if where do masks fit in trying to keep our kids safe? it's interesting, an op-ed we're about to quote, what they say is there are four things that really help keep the kids safe. one, the number one thing, ventilation. then social distancing. then dividing the kids into small groups called pods, and then maybe, fourth, masks.
5:10 am
ainsley: yeah. well, iowas -- asa hutchinson is calling for a legislative session to reverse that before school starts because he does think that kids should have to wear masks or at least have that option. i think it should be up to the parents, because some of these kids have alreadied had covid. -- already had covid. the little ones can't even see or their teachers' faces, the teachers don't the know what the child really looks like -- steve: at least they'd be in the same room. ainsley: that's true. at least they're going back to the classroom. there is that "wall street journal" op-ed, dr. marty makary, you know him, and he wrote it with h. cody meissner, and they're basically saying so many kids are struggling with these masks. they say any child who wants to wear a mask should be free to do so, but forcing them to make personal health and developmental sacrifices for the sake of adults who refuse to get
5:11 am
immunized is abusive. abusive, they say. before we order the masking of 56 million americans who are too young to vote and don't have a lobby, let's see data showing the benefits and weigh them against the long-term harms. he goes on to say that some kids are wearing glasses so they get really foggy. we know if we wear our sunglasses with a mask, how foggy they get. some have acne, skin problems, discomfort, it increases the level of carbon dioxide in your blood. will: makary points out $42 billion has been spent on covid research and none on the effects of masks. ainsley: interesting. steve: yeah. why isn't the nih spending money? we would all like the know so we can quantify, but apparently the nih doesn't want to know the answer. what i think is really telling about something in that quote that you said from dr. makary was the reason we are masking up the kids, he's saying, is because there are 90 million
5:12 am
americans who are, essentially, unvaccinated, and there are, you know, a lot of them choose for various reasons, whatever. we're masking up the kids, according to him, because so many people won't get the shot. >> will: well, let's be careful because we're either trying to use the kids for a greater public health goal of getting herd immunity accomplished, or we're playing fear to say our kids are under great risk. steve: i think the administration's trying to punish people who have not gotten the shot. we have time we see joe biden, get the shot. will: they're scaring us about the threat to our kids, so i would say show me the data. ainsley: what do you hear there your friends? you have young kids. do the majority of your kids -- friends want kids in mask? will: they will respond to fear, but they need to be shown the real data behind what the risk
5:13 am
to their children is. our entire society has lost the ability to balance risks. we have no idea the risk that covid presents against other risks that our children encounter on a daily basis. i would hope facts would overcome that. steve: plus delta is out there, and it's, you know, it's super contagious. i was talking to some people in our neighborhood over the weekend, and they said that they were going to go to this gathering, didn't go, glad they did. everybody at the gathering a couple days before. wound up with covid. ainsley: really? steve: unbelievable. will: how sick were they? if. steve: they did not say. they just said everybody didn't feel good. so i don't know the degree of how sick they really were. ainsley: right. if they hadn't flip-flopped so many times and if we had more information, we could be able to trust them. but if they haven't even spent the money to do the research the find out if our kids even need the mask, that's concerning.
5:14 am
they're making major decisions that affect our children's lives, yet they're not doing the research. will: all right. let's go to jillian who has additional headlines. jillian: good morning. new york governor andrew cuomo taking a major hit overnight, top aide melissa de rosa resigning. meanwhile, one of cuomo's accusers says he has to face justice. >> the governor needs to be held accountable. what he did to me was a crime. he broke the law. >> reporter: reports say lieutenant governor kathy hochul is already preparing to replace cuomo. 64% of lawmakers support impeaching the governor. a desperate search for a missing 5-year-old continues in idaho. so far police have no leads. michael was last seen wearing a blue mine craft shirt. police are asking anyone with any information to e-mail their tipline that is shown at bottom of your screen.

when were going to leave and how are going to do it was made the chair just like that my opinion it's not necessarily leaving, i think that's a good idea for our brave men and women to come home and in the decade-long wars in the middle east but we have to leave in a position of weakness and send a message short enemy that if you do not comply with what we would like you to do in terms of how you deal with us and our friends there will be a price to pay in a message that were steady not just to the taliban but the iranians, the russians, the chinese, we are weak right now and we've got to get strong in order to continue to protect not just our borders but the borders of our friends. steve: there's another story century down there in texas, the runaway democrats who left austin so they would not be pressed to vote for a bill that they knew that they would lose regarding changes to voting restriction and there's the famous charter flight whether not wearing a mask and a whole

unnecessary in the state doesn't have a compelling interest, why. >> good morning, this is pretty straightforward, i got covid early on, i wish i hadn't got covid, i know what it's like to get covid and i don't want to get it again so i'm not cavalier about this but i did get covid and if i had been vaccinated that i would've gone vaccinated but they would didn't exist. but i did get covid in my colleagues wants to make me get vaccinated in order to do my job and the evidence is clear on this which a natural immunity is as least as good as it's not better protection at least covid perfection with all the vaccines on the market i've been working with immunologist and i have a series of antibody test that show that my immune protection is very high and there is a lot of evidence, all the evidence points to the idea that those had natural immunity, or an

elevated risk of side effects, for me is literally all of the risk and none of the benefit of getting vaccinated at this point but it's even worse the george mason policy is so bizarre that the vaccines to qualify is any vaccine approved by the world health organization that includes like the sign of asked vaccine from china and if there's any doubt whether my immunity is with my demonstrated antibody level better than the sign aback vaccine then there's no question about that. i'm asking that they recognize my natural immunity as being equivalent to the vaccine immunity that allows my colleagues without all the handicaps that i would have. will: it's fascinating that the i don't know 100 million people who had covid and natural antibodies are left out of the conversation when it comes to herd immunity or any other aspect of the covid
