the name of the statue on the top? statue of freedom. the dome is made of cast iron and it weighs 8 million pounds as we look live on this tuesday. august 10th, 2021. live from new york and washington it's "fox & friends." ainsley: next time on jeopardy i'm prepared. 288 feet. steve: have to make everything in the form of a question. brian: i don't know if that's a category. i don't know if it will be that hard a question. steve: they are harder than that. $1,000 category those are hard questions. brian: michael jordan on the top. that's not a statue of michael jordan? ainsley: you wish. [buzzer] steve: female allegorical statue. ainsley: all of this time you have been wrong. brian: who knew? not michael jackson. i knew that. steve: welcome to hour one of "fox & friends" for a tuesday.

yesterday started exactly where we started yesterday. that is with the murder of that chicago police officer over the weekend. she and her partner were involved in a traffic stop in chicago on saturday night and that's when officer ella french was shot. her partner was shot in the head and he is still clinging to life. he is fighting for his life. ainsley: they have flags flying at half-staff in chicago. there was a vigil last night at the intersection or the street where she was killed. there is a white cross placed there with her name on it. and a picture of her. you can see all the people there at the vigil. they treated this out ella french end of watch august 7th, 2021. we will have #never forget the true bravery she exemplified as she laid her life down to protect others. please hold her family, loved ones, and fellow chicago police officers in her thoughts as we grieve the loss of this hero. brian: turns out they found the guys and it's two brothers.

it looks like the brother eric was driving. and the other brother is the one amonte is the one who did the shooting. they both are in a lot of trouble. the problem with this story is it's not "newsweek" cops not respected by the mayor, the mayor's office. a war on cops around the country but especially in chicago where 13 were killed just over the weekend. 86 were shot while this is the biggest story when cops get shot it's sadly not a unique story when they're targeted and, therefore, it's inevitable. the police are firing back. they are not putting down their banels. they are told not to do their job and now they are backing off. we are seeing crime take over all these major cities. small towns and big towns in every major city it is up and the cops are beginning to show their anger.

ainsley: ella french the lady who was killed her partner is fighting for his life at the hospital on the seventh floor. officers were downstairs at the bottom of the hospital outside. i read there were hundreds outside showing support and solidarity for the family. up on the seventh floor lori lightfoot the mayor went up there. you are seeing a picture four of more than two dozen witnesses, police officers they turned their backs on her when she showed up at the hospital. because they are saying she has turned her back on them when she was saying she wanted to cut $80 million from the police budget. the father of that individual, the officer who is in critical condition was shot three times. he was also a retired police officer, the dad. and he, according to their sources, he had words with lori lightfoot. she was not welcome there. brian: they told her not to go. steve: we heard that from john catanzara. he is the chicago fraternal order of police president. he was on with us yesterday. and made it very clear that the mayor was told after the people

turned their backs on her down in the lobby, whatever you do, do not go to, i believe the seventh floor where that officer is fighting for his life. she still went, and she got an ear full. anyway, here is the f.o.p. president. watch. >> the men and women of this police department have no respect for this mayor and it was as palpable as you could possibly imagine outside that hospital at the university of chicago two nights ago. realistically, she was -- and just a little back story. the mayor was told do not come up to the seventh floor of that hospital and speak to the family or the officer who was still injured for his life officerriar yanez. the mayor thought she knew best and went up there against the advice of the family. the officer's officer gave her a piece of his mind. it was the exclamation point to the sentiment outside on the street level for officer yanez and for officer french. brian: what they will tell you

over and over again cops, when you set the tone that cops are the problem and we are not going to prosecute crime it, turns into chaos on the streets. chicago alderman raimondo lopez says the mayor's office is really making things dangerous and tan generationally responsible for the responsible for the are danger they are seeing. >> we have had 38 officers shot at in the city of chicago since lori lightfoot maybe mayor this year alone. we had ella french gunned down and viciously murdered this past weekend. and i think the lesson that we have learned is that the only thing more dangerous than the gang bangers on the streets in the city of chicago is mayor lori lightfoot and failed belief she is in charge and helping the city of chicago. she is as you said an absolute failure. brian: and is he a democrat. steve: officer french is the first person to die in the line of duty during the tenure of mayor lightfoot there she is

right there. yesterday david brown, who is the police superintendent for chicago said the people of chicago need to pray not only for the recovery of our officer who is fighting for his life, but also for the officers on the street doing their job. he said the police have little support from the public and members of the media who often focus on police reform issues and not acts of heroism, he said. it's past time to stop this, they go down dark alleys none of you would go down to protect you. the chief got it right. ainsley: those officers felt like lori lightfoot was coming to the hospital as a photo opportunity to say look i do support the police. in october of last area she said she wanted to cut $80 million from the police department. they said we are not going to give into your photo opportunity and that's why they turned their backs on her. brian: i say one thing to be totally candid, we are not the one condemning police. when talk about the media don't look at us. what i would love to do some of these athletes that have stepped forward when there is horrific

things like george floyd and right to period of time brevity. i would love to see them outside the hospital in chicago. i would love to see them in the major cities like new york where yesterday a man stabbed in the head on a new york city sidewalk. i would love to see them look around. we want law and order on the streets but we want law enforcement to act within their boundaries whatever they think it is. great to see some balance. and we're just not seeing that and reform has stopped because crime has taken over these cities. ainsley: was it in atlanta where 8-year-old boy asleep in the bed and mom heard gunshots outside of the house went to check on children and. brian: georgia. ainsley: her son was killed stray bullet flying outside and enters his bedroom. brian: 9 years old. steve: because of the randomness going on across the country. that's what is freaking people out. come back to haunt the biden administration unless they get a handle. ainsley: that and the border. steve: absolutely. big news.

ainsley: going to be interesting. steve: plus the other big news once again is delta and coronavirus. coming up, dr. fauci hopes that masking up kids won't have a long lasting impact on them. ainsley: he hopes. steve: yeah, exactly. brian: he doesn't know. steve: his comments after the break. ainsley: plus "the washington post" call out joe biden over his border strategy. why they say he is failing on immigration. brian: "the washington post"? ♪ ♪

expected to pass the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill following months of negotiation. the democrats are already shifting their attention to pushing through a massive multitrillion dollars budget plan without any republican support. the house is expected to consider both infrastructure packages when it returns to session next month. new york governor andrew cuomo facing two new accusers after an investigation found he sexually harassed multiple women. the "new york post" says the women contacted attorney general's letitia james' office after her report on cuomo became public last week it comes as the new york state assembly's judiciary committee met to discuss the impeachment probe against the governor. they have given him until friday to respond to james' report. take a look at this. chaos in illinois as multiple tornadoes are reported across the state. can you see one twister tossing around huge pieces of debris. and then take a look at this. this tornado could be seen for miles as cobb county.

several homes suffering damage. thankfully no injuries have been reported. the storms forcing o'hare airport to cancel more than 600 flights yesterday. and then there is this story. jen psaki does not want to be called nice. the white house press secretary tells vogue magazine in part, quote: it is like nails on a chalkboard the word is sexist and a little diminishing. also desire to put people in a box. critics ripping vogue for the feature after it spent four years ignoring strong females from the trump administration ohio guess i will stop telling everyone that you guys are nice. see that as offensive. brian: how dare you. jillian: i wasn't aware. steve: i'm okay with it. ainsley: okay with that? steve: her calling us nice. ainsley: you are okay with the word nice. brian: nice to be nice. steve: thank you very much for the nice report. at the beginning of the show i gave you facts about the u.s. capitol because yesterday a lot of america's kids started school.

by the end of this week, 36% of america's kids will be back at school. of course, this is going to be the third school year where we have had to deal with covid. and the worry is that covid would derail things where kids would have go back and watch a screen to get an education. that is the last thing any of us want. we want the kids in school. >> yeah, you know, i always thought if they are telling us to wear a mask k through 12 they have done the research and studies. there is the science behind it now we are learning they really haven't done many studies on this and anthony fauci is saying well, i hope it won't impact our kids. listen to this with hugh hewitt. >> now, if we're tracking that the cdc is tracking that really very carefully. so it's going to be a balance that we would feel very badly if we all of the sudden said okay, kids don't wear masks then you find out retrospectively that this virus in a very, very

strange and unusual way is really hitting kids really hard but hopefully this will be a temporary thing. temporary enough that it doesn't have any lasting negative impact on them. brian: put them in hazmat suits and tell them they are creditorsing guards tell them they are going to be safe. unbelievable we gave them $80 billion, his nih and he gives out 40 billion in grants and in the 41 billion they don't study its effects the masks have on kids. we talk to people here because we don't have the budget but we have the time we have the air time to talk to child psychologists and they say the affect on kids who can't see emotion for over a year. tonight know what their classmates look like. don't know in the tea party is mad or upset at them or happy with them because they have been unable to see emotion. maybe it's part of the reason in 33 states 10,000 schools have lost 20% of their kindergartens. half of those kids are the

preschoolers, 3, 4, and 5. you requesting to make them wear mask we are keeping them out of school. dr. robert redfield was on with martha yesterday and said yeah, i have no idea why they are not studying this. policy should begrounded in inds opposed to opinion there has been very few studies that really are compelling in that setting of the classroom. one of the things that i think is really important in the classroom for example is how to identify the silent epidemic. this is why we have recommended in a number of jurisdictions they are doing this to do routine testing of all the students twice a week so they can find out who is asymptomatically infected and who isn't and get them out of the transmission cycle. is routine screening twice a week in the school? is that the real way to limit interschool transmission? is it wearing masks or not wearing masks? i'm of the point of view that this has to be locally decided. as opposed to a general mandate. particularly in the absence of data. steve: some of the data shows

just how viral lent the the delta variant really is the last three weeks in the united states delta cases are up 240% in cases per day. they are 108,000 cases per day. the deaths are half of what they were before the vaccine. that means the vaccine is working. the people who are dying are the unvaccinated. it appears -- it looks like if you are not vaccinated, chances are you are probably going to get it. ainsley: hugh hewitt he pushed back on dr. fauci. he said what about that "wall street journal" article that marty makary that he wrote about? you haven't tested this? what about the developmental, what about the physical aspects on how it is. how about the expression how important for a 4 or 5-year-old to be able to see the reakd of a teacher? brian: he had no answer. ainsley: i think they are talking about-i i. -- i think they are talking about the alpha variant monday the delta.

but i will look into that he said i just want to make sure we are not comparing apples to oranges instead of apples to apples. brian: look at the downside it part of the reason cases more kids now than previous. not only does it spreads easier but less lethal. most of the seniors have been vac snanned most vulnerable those with under lying conditions have been vaccinated that helped them stay safe. meanwhile, the other major story that caught my eye and i thought this is going to be more disheartening news about our border which is falling apart which the democrats choose to ignore. the biggest story arguably in america right now is the invasion we have been experiencing since joe biden took office. over 1 million people have come here illegally they told us this was going to stop in the summer because it's like a furnace down south. it's not. it's actually picked up the pace. now finally something new testament 9 "the washington post" saying what we have been saying all along, this is out of control. you have no plan. in the kindest vitriol possible here is excerpts from "the

washington post op-ed that came out a couple of days ago. president biden needs coherent strategy for the border excerpt reads like this convoluted messaging telling migrants not to seek entry into the u.s. at the same time relaxing or scrapping an array of measures that would dissuade them and providing relief to migrants on both sides of the border has been a failure that failure is measurable. and it is politically toxic, no kidding. ainsley: they went after kamala harris, too. she went down there to find the root causes she comes back with a list of what the region's problems are. steve: a five point plan. >> criminal gangs, domestic violence, they say this list anyone with passing knowledge of the crisis could have written this list. steve: that's right. so here's what the article says at the very end and very revealing why "the washington post" would put this they say essentially the biden-harris incoherent plan is going to lose the democrats one or both houses of congress in the midterms and

there is nothing the administration plan is likely to shift that so, in other words, what "the washington post" is trying to in public is scare the administration into doing something. ainsley: that's why thee they decided to run it? steve: right. you have to do something or you are going to lose control of the house and maybe the senate as well. joe biden, do you hear me? do you hear me? that's what they are saying. ainsley: and they are still ignoring the issue. they are sending mayorkas down there. brian: what a failure he is. ainsley: he's going back on thursday and he says he's going to meet with the frontline workers. lead local officials and community leaders. brian: how unbelievable is it that kamala harris got on the phone with the president of mexico yesterday and they talked about astrazeneca and getting other type of vaccines to the border and brought up some issues on the border. some issues on the border? 1.5 million have passed through your country you said hello go right away, there is free admission charge in there you have a -- by the way a reconciliation plan which we will talk about next hour that

is going to legalize possibly up to 8 million illegals which is going to prompt another million plus to come here in august and september because they say come one, come all. the attorney general mark brnovich in arizona, we spent a lot of time in texas and we should arizona a total catastrophe. is he going to run, i think, for that senate seat that mark kelly currently has now. he's upset he thinks all of this intentional. >> people watching this and listening should make no mistake about it the biden administration is intentionally and systematically incentivizing and essentially allowing this border crisis to occur. now, why they are doing that? i'm not sure joe biden knows. but make no mistake about it. enablers in the u.s. senate like chuck schumer and cartel kelly are empowering the cartels in mexico and enriching them and basically overwhelming our system. by not only allowing criminals to come in but as you alluded to nearly 20% of the people coming in now are covid

positive. ainsley: mark levin says because they want to turn texas and arizona blue. that's why they are ignoring the issue. steve: we have been talking about the problem there actually since michelle malkin wrote that book invasion approximately 20 years ago we have been talking about the problem there. it will be the number one thing on joe biden's agenda today because "the washington post" wrote that in the op-ed page and now they are embarrassed. got to fix it they don't want to lose the house and the senate. brian: is it scary that you have to read the newspaper to find out what your agenda is? number one the way they want to attack the crime problem blame the gun dealers and the guns. now attack the southern border by give more money to central american nations. just watch get out off our checkbook and write checks to these countries who basically are holding us hostage. they know the deal. send the few thousand to america and we will get some money back. brian: don't you see a problem here, ignoring they have done

for our country since they have been in august. they know the media, most media outlets are not going to reported any negative news about them. when they finally do, then they respond. so maybe they will respond after this. kamala harris all the backlash she got for not going to the border she finally decided to do it because of all the backlash. steve: holy cow "the washington post" is angry at us. brian: crime is not a problem until barbara boxer gets her purse stolen. that's the kind of country. we just got a call from the attorney general he is going to run against mark kelly. thank you very much. he just called my ear piece. mark kelly should do something. kyrsten sinema stands up purple state for the people of arizona it seems. mark kelly, what is he doing except for sitting on the sideline while his state is being barraged by people from other countries it's incredible should be embarrassed. steve: that's some of what is going on on this tuesday. also coming up on our program. media jumping on doomsday

and this is a political lobbying arm of the united nations that pretends to be a science panel. they were started in 19 8. their goal is to scare everyone to convince you into, quote: climate action. al gore has said these reports are, quote: torqued up. how else do you get the attention of policymakers. one of the lead authors of this report actually says he hopes it impacts the way people vote. this is a guy in charge of one of the authors a climate risk specialist potentially financially benefits off the report. this is a report using a climate scare to get people to support u.n. treats, green new deals, right off the bat you have to be suspect what it claims. brian: al gore made zillions of dollars off climate change and global warming. he also most of the stuff that he predicted none of it has come true so far. let's look at some of the highlight of the report. blaming humans for the rising temperatures. they say it's all about the combustion engine. concludes will surpass

1.5-degree celsius threshold which the paris climate agreement is trying to limit earlier. and warns the ice melt and sea level rises are accelerating predicts extreme whether will get worse. out of those when people see the floods what happened in europe. when they see that outside what's happening outside president obama's place in martha's vineyard, when they see erosion they think climate change. do you? >> no. and here's why. even the u.n. has to admit, you saw some of the key words you had up on the screen there brian will do this. when current reality fails to alarm they make scary predictions of the future. for instance, they claim in the data now that the heat waves have increased. and it extreme precipitation. on the flip side they claim that global floods are not increasing. droughts are not increasing, hurricanes are not increasing, tornadoes are not increasing. currently the bulk of what they're claiming is not

increasing. so they project it into the future. and interestingly enough, they claim that co 2 is millions of year high and temperatures are unprecedented. the medieval and global warming period medieval warming period about 1200 and the roman warming period about 0 had as warm or warmer temperatures. 90% of the earth geological history higher co 2 levels and higher temperatures than current. it too warm to have ice at either pole. what they are doing here is trying to act as though humanity is unprecedented. there are nobel prize winning scientists, former u.n. scientists who turned against this report and against this whole process because they politicized it. they have turned science into lobbying and there is nothing -- there is nothing to alarm the american public. in fact the climate death rate has declined 95 plus percent. our fossil fuel use has protected taken unsafe climate and made it safe and the u.n. claims we need to make ourselves poorer to make us handle a

climate better. brian: we're about to take our economy and destroy it because, according to chuck schumer by taking the 3.5 trillion we are about to get shoved down our throats without any bipartisan support, we will have climate change to save our planet and will effect global warming. so if we can pass everything in 3.5 trillion, the earth will be a better place according to democrats. mark, unfortunately we have to leave. >> there literally pay up or the climate will get you. that's the message. if you don't pay up, we can't protect you from the climate. brian: exactly although we are out of money. let's not get bogged down in that. mark, thank you. >> scwagetly. brian: meanwhile, coming up straight ahead. how a return to the classroom is pivotal to america's economic recovery. hear from panel of moms who had to readjust during their lockdown might have to readjust again. plus an iraq war veteran finally gets the purple heart medal that he earned 17 years later. and it's all thanks to two high

ainsley: chris, i will start with you, i know you are a nurse, you were dealing with the pandemic and fears about bringing home the virus to your family. and you are also trying to balance the zooms and taking care of children. how did you do it? >> it was really hard, ainsley, great question. i had to schedule for myself. i would get up 4:00 in the morning start my work. kids were still sleeping. that was my saving grace. we started with really limited technology. our school didn't provide it until later in the school year so i had a an iphone and ipad and my little 8-year-old he has some special needs so it was really hard to get him focused. i had to constantly stop quhafs doing and take video calls in between and factor in mealtime and specials. my parent would come over and do a cooking class. i got them outside for pe. my significant other did a lot. they wanted to spend time with me. it was hard to balance. i have a 10-year-old. they have the gaments and they were playing games with my job it was really nice.

my employer was flexible. did i work about 16 hours days. i'm used to traveling for work. making noise and having a part of the house i could go quiet too do video calls. check on them in between and make sure they were doing academic work which was definitely far behind than they would have done in the classroom. ainsley: jamie, i know you decided to leave your job. you were a project analyst at engineering company. you decided to leave when your first child was born. you have two sons. and you wanted to go back to work then the pandemic hits. how has that affected you? are you going to be able to go back to work? are you waiting to see how this delta variant plays out? >> i'm waiting to see how the variant plays out. in may this year the restrictions were loosening up. the job market's hot even in my local area there is analyst jobs 10 minutes from my house which is pretty unusual because most jobs like that are in new jersey or cherry hill area, north

jersey so as i'm trying to figure out scheduling for my kids stuff like that. my principal i don't want to say particularly him, our school sent out a survey asking what our virtual capabilities were. and immediately i sent him an email and i said, you know, we can't do this. we won't be doing virtual school again. it's just not possible. it was very taxing on our family. and so, governor murphy said that all kids are going to be in school in person. our district is the 12th smallerrest in new jersey out of about over 600. so, i would imagine if anybody can stay in school, it would be our school but now that virtual schooling is back on the table, just from that survey alone i imagine they are not writing it off completely. i believe that it's a definite possibility and it's keeping me from potentially going back to work again. ainsley: it's so frustrating and scary because we don't know what

the future hold. your husband is a state trooper and national guard so he is working two jobs it falls like many moms it falls on our shoulders. you were working during the pandemic your husband is a surgeon, you were feverful what he was going to deal with at work. you were trying to hold down the fort at home. what did you go through. >> i'm a, woulding mom of three kids. i have two elementary school-aged daughters. and a baby boy who was born during the pandemic. and i have always worked from home. so my home taken on a whole new night height. i will never forget the day that i got the gradual school that my it daughter stella had been exposed and quarantine for indefinite amount of time. i was standing in my kitchen with my baby strapped to me on a work deadline and i had to just drop everything and go get her. and i know that so many moms can relate to this and we just have to rearrange our lives and just go through the motions.

and, you know, i do worry for the mental health repercussions for working moms throughout the country there is so much instability and anxiety we don't know what each day will bring. we don't know if day cares or schools will be open. calls at the last minute have to rearrange our schedules. you know, the thing that really grounds me is my faith and my belief that god has a plan and knowing that we will be stronger for this. and i think this is really an opportunity for working moms across the country to stand together and really lift each other up and feel like we can lean on each other right now. ainsley: what a beautiful message. >> yeah. and my husband, because he can't work from home because he is a surgeon, it really does all fall on my shoulders, i come from a long line of strong willed southern american women, and we just get through it and we take it as it comes. and i know there be no

different. ainsley: state trooper, nurse, doctor/surgeon you are all his or hers and your husbands as well. thank you all so much for being on with us. god bless you. >> thank you. >> thank you, ainsley. ainsley: they will join us later in the show for another conversation about this. let's check in with senior meteorologist janice dean for fox weather forecast. hey j.d. janice: we have hot sticky weather in the northeast. heat advocacy for new york city down towards the mid-atlantic as well as the central u.s. temperatures are going to be soaring into the 90 to 100-degree range with humidity. it's going to feel warmer than that and quite dangerous. take precaution. also the potential for hail, danging winds and tornadoes. over a dozen tornado reports outside of the chicago area and we could see the severe threat again today. there is your forecast. not seeing much there but can i tell you we are dealing with the heat across the u.s. and then we have the possible tropical cyclone activity for the lesser antilles that we'll have to monitor over the next couple of days florida, gulf coast, you

steve: squad member rasheda tlaib under fire this tuesday morning after she was spotted letting loose on the dance floor as you can see right there sunday night without a mask. that's the same day she ripped rand paul on twitter for not taking the pandemic seriously. here with reaction fox news contributor and the hill media opinion columnist joe concha. joe, good morning to you. >> happy tuesday, steve. how are we doing? >> doing okay. you look at the video. it looks like that was a great epic wedding party she was dancing at but there does seem to be a little hypocrisy, doesn't there? she tweeted this out on sunday: the kentucky senator rand paul is throwing a tantrum as his state is being swallowed whole by this virus again. people are getting sick and dying. 98 counties in kentucky have

high incidence rate of covid you get the idea. he needs to put politics aside and trying to figure this out. and then you see that what's going on? >> pain is temporary. twitter and video like you see on your screen is forever. yeah, that's a pretty easy one to point out as far as hypocrisy. look, this whole democratic leader goes maskless at indoor event and breaks heir own rules kind of a daily hypocritical thing at this point. think about the past couple weeks on the show. mayor bowser washington, d.c. maskless at a wedding in an area that the cdc dubs as high transmission zone. she goes on to say no i was only doing it during the eating and drinking portion of the wedding like covid knows when you are eating or drinking and multiple pictures show she wasn't doing that when eating or drinking then barack obama as we talked about hosted up door tent party for hundreds of people. host the opening ceremonies of the 20 olympics that big. former president supposed to

lead by example is maskless in a high transmission zone and now tlaib. these are the same people, steve honks say that your 3 or my 5 or 7-year-old must wear a mask in school. and if you are a parent who doesn't believe that based on the science and the data that says that schools are the lowest transmission zones that you can be in, you are the problem. not them. the bottom line is that all these so-called leaders are flaunting this behavior at this point because they know that most of the media, steve, will not piously do so super spreader events. only apply for the media for piker rallies or cuban american protests or large church gatherings not weddings attended by democrats where no one is wearing a mask inside. steve: joe, both you and i live in new jersey the governor says any time we are in indoors now in a public setting we have got to wear a mask when we go down to the shop right. one other story for you. "the washington post" is taking the biden administration to task because they don't really have a coherent strategy for the border. they have written an op-ed and

they say essentially put up the quote but i will fast track it unless they fix it, they are going to lose the house and the senate they say. >> that's exactly right. president biden has been in office now for more than 200 days. if he really was serious about this problem he would visit the southern border. he has yet to do it. he has not sat down for one-on-one interview for 90 days maybe he is afraid or hand lers are that he is going to be asked about that. biden vice president kamala harris in charge of solving this crisis. a fascinating choice when you consider that harris compared ice to the kkk and has argued that illegal border crossings should be legal. she said this when she was a senator. in a related story harris has yet to hold a press conference or take any questions that began on this role began 138 days ago. i'm old enough to remember vice president pence doing dozens of press conferences when he was head of the coronavirus task force just last year. the president and vice president have their head in the sand strategy at this point, steve. it's running out of runway because now even "the washington post," not exactly a bastion of conservative sentiment, "wall

street journal," politico, they all are now saying the same thing you have to engage on their or it will cost you the house and the senate and render you almost completely handcuffed for of your presidency if you don't take care of this. steve: by "the washington post" doing it it's like a head warning light on the dash we are going to loads the house and the senate unless you fix it joe. i have a feeling joe is going to have a meeting today just guessing. >> not me the other joe. maybe. steve: the joe who actually has some power, okay, joe? >> okay. i'm the other joe in his basement. ogo figure. we get mixed up all the time. steve: do you know what? he actually is in his basement. joe, thank you very much. >> sure. steve: princeton going woke offering a class on black lives matter. why critics say it's still time the university reconsider their curriculum still ahead. ♪be ♪ you're not the only one with questions about botox®. botox® prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine

spending for bridges and roads. the electrical grid, railways broadband internet and public transit and electrical vehicle infrastructure. some republicans oppose the bill because it willed a $256 billion to the deficit. before that ink is dry, democrats are likely move forward today on the framework for what they call a human infrastructure bill totaling $3.5 trillion which they plan to pass without any republican support. the. >> maybe some tweaks here and there between now and final passage of the budget reconciliation package but highly confident democrats will stand united. >> democrats proposal there is money for amnesty, climate spending, education and family support. republicans call a socialist shopping list. >> they won't let republicans have any say from this monstrosity but they want our help raising their credit card to make it happen. >> the house is in recess until

september so neither of these packages are expected to be on the president's desk until probably this fall. brian, ainsley, steve? steve: all right, lauren, we thank you very much. so there is a lot going on on capitol hill. you have got the $1 trillion bipartisan bill, then you have got both sides need to come up with a budget agreement but the -- there is not a single republican on board with what they're doing. and then you have got this looming resolution they came out with yesterday $3.5 trillion that's the human infrastructure thing that lauren was just talking about. and it's interesting, packed in that includes $107 billion in funding toward immigration initiatives including the development of a pathway to citizenship for immigrants. under the budget proposal, the senate judiciary committee would get the $107 billion in part to pursue what they call lawful permanent status for qualified immigrants. ainsley: how would they be able to do that without g.o.p.

support through reconciliation if it involves money and budget? steve: great budget. if the parliamentarian for the senate says do you know what? i think all of this can be done through the budget process, then they can glom it all together. but there are obviously parts that are not all. ainsley: chuck schumer says two tracks all infrastructure. the first one has support from republicans. steve: that's going to pass. ainsley: bridges and roads real infrastructure. ainsley: clean energy, money for the immigrants. green cards. steve: climate change. brian: imagine doing a deal pretty dill jill kently two and a half months. after we sign it we will put it in another deal we're not asking you what's in it they didn't want to raise taxes. we know it adds to the budget. according to the cbo two. separate plans. first off on the thing that's going to pass the senate today with about 70 votes is going to have to wait a month for the house to take a look at it at which time there is going to be war. evidently they are very upset about some things in there that democrats have their own

housekeeping problems with the so-called moderates and the wild left as well as what nancy pelosi pretends to be whenever the wind is blowing. we will see how that goes. the one steve is talking about is the 2 pages. the one that we're just talking about that's going to pass today is 2700 pages. what gets conservatives upset is yeah we need bridges and tunnels and roads. a lot of that can be done through fees, only 23% of the 1.1 trillion is infrastructure. a lot has to do with things that have no -- nothing to do with infrastructure but is that part of the negotiation process. senator john kennedy wanted to sign off on this but when he saw what was in it. he couldn't get himself to do it. watch. >> they told us this isn't going to add to inflation. but it is. i mean, i don't like to brag about all the expensive places i have been but earlier today i went to the gas station. this bill is going to make it worse. it's going to make it worse for groceries, too.

and, look, i'm for infrastructure, i'm just not for infrastructure at any cost. i'm for infrastructure, i'm not for infrastructure no matter what. and we're going in to a fight now with the democrats over raising the debt ceiling. steve: exactly. the democrats cannot do a lot of what they want to do unless they raise the debt ceiling. which not one republican is going to vote for. and when it comes to the great big $3.5 trillion idea, will they would pay for that by jacking up people's taxes and jacking up the taxes on corporations and things like that. and to the senator's point, absolutely when you look at all the money the forecast has already pumped into the economy, that is why, for instance, with the plus-up, that's why people are not working, that's why there is a labor shortage. plus, it's why everything costs more. it's why why gas costs more and

groceries cost more. why you can't find clothes anymore because they simply do not exist. ainsley: going to get worse with this package. your dad probably did this too and y'all as well. he would drive around and notice how much the prices are were at the pump. steve: exactly 3 cents cheaper. ainsley: every day always watching still is. and people are very worried about this. when you look at these polls that we have read over the last few months, what are americans concerned about? inflation. because everything is going up. and senator mike lee said he is a republican from utah. he has called this an inflation bomb. the "wall street journal" said a major down payment on president biden's green new deal. brian: president trump doesn't want anyone to vote for it but we'll see how that goes. republicans i spoke to voting for it. ainsley: lindsey graham? brian: part of the reason they are voting for it in talking to joe manchin and kyrsten sinema they are not going to sign off on the 3.5 trillion because they say that all that stuff of, you

know. ainsley: green new deal and all that stuff. brian: free preschool, community college, medicare for people 50 and over, all that stuff they are not going to sign off on if they can get this deal to show their so-called conservative districts that they will do a deal and stops the filibuster from being blown up. so, these democrats will push back on other democrats like bernie sanders that wants to put $6 trillion into that. it will remake our economy. we're going to spend more on these packages than we actually put into our economy all of last year. it's going to be 6 trillion here. our economy generates 4 trillion a year. ainsley: ted cruz is not for it he calls it a' that. is he for something else. is he introducing pail to ban masks and vaccine mandates. he doesn't want the federal government to be able to tell your family what you need to do going into the school year. steve: that's right. he was on with sean last night and said this my views very simple there should be no mandates, zero concerning covid.

that means no mask mandates, regardless of your vaccination status. that means no vaccine mandates, that means no vaccine passports. and i have introduced legislation, a bill to ban vaccine passports this week i'm introducing a bill to ban vaccine mandates. this week i'm introducing a bill to end mask mandates, now, that doesn't mean, as the media likes to characterize that i'm opposed to vaccines, i actually think vaccines are terrific. i have taken the vaccine, my family has taken the vaccine. but i believe in individual choice. individual responsibility. you can make the choice for your family. brian: unbelievable. you have got 200 san francisco employees pushing back on city vaccine. require vaccines once fda is approved washington state seattle king county covid vaccine mandates all around the county little by little private companies saying you can't come to work. there is one news channel that fired three people because they weren't vaccinated which i find unbelievable there should be an

alternative if you choose not to be vaccinated. steve: the worry is all the people who are dying for the most part are the unvaccinated. so companies are saying do you know what? we have got to protect the people at our place of employment because there would be huge liability issues for us if we didn't have some sort of a, you know, a policy. so that's why mask mandates and vaccine mandates are gaining traction. brian: so you think these people that aren't vaccinated would sue their company? steve: i don't know. perhaps their heirs would if somebody dies. ainsley: we want a safe environment. we want to guarantee if we are asking all the workers come back in the office we're going to guarantee a safe environment. steve: i read in the "wall street journal" big companies have been sending out questionnaires to their employees and said are you comfortable coming back to work and a lot of people say well, i don't know if i many a. you know, i would feel more comfortable if everybody had masks and stuff like that. the problem right now is we thought we were on the back side. the down slope of the coronavirus. but it's going back the wrong

way. in the last three weeks, coronavirus cases have gone up 240%. and there is some terrible cases, i was just reading, down in central florida, three first responders died of covid in three days. they were not vaccinated. one was a fireman, one was a police officer one was a are we supposed to wrestle them to the ground and vaccinate them? steve: also in jacksonville at the impact church. this is a terrible story, i just saw this six members of the church died within 10 days. they were all unvaccinated. right after that happened, the church had a vaccination event and 270 people got the shot. so, if you have the chance, get the shot the people who are dying are the unvaccinated. as joe biden said last week you don't have to die if you get the shot. brian: right. ainsley: also in florida ron desantis telling the school boards who were saying remember he was saying we won't have mask mandates four state.

we want our school district to wear a mask to school. he is say going that happens, if you do that, i'm threatening to cut off your. steve: going to be a lawsuit. brian: same thing in texas well. lawsuits are everywhere. other thing to keep in mind, too. look at the u.k., dr. scott gottlieb and makary and others seem to be a couple weeks ahead of us. just behind them. they say expect last week in august, second week in september latest, you will see the delta variant begin to wane. ainsley: i understand people don't want to get vaccinated myriad of reasons if you don't want to get vaccinated. hopefully that will happen. there is such a freedom in getting vaccinated. when i got vaccinated. steve: liberated. ainsley: if you did get the vaccine and you get the delta variant you will not die. there is so much freedom in that and just relief. steve: absolutely. ainsley: i'm not telling you what to do. you talk about what you want to do with your doctor. steve: we have told you what's going on. the people who are dying are

unvaccinated. if it's your choice you are going to make it i suggest you get the shot. brian: in life whether you have a medical decision most people go to doctors so go your doctors. steve: unfortunately these days a lot of people don't have doctors. brian: they don't? ainsley: everyone knows the information. the information we have been talking about for a year and a half. we know the information. it's up to the individual. steve: that's right. the numbers are scary. and we're just putting it out there for you. all right. 7:14 now and it's time for news with jillian. jillian: good morning. get you caught up on this story that we have been following. one of jeffrey epstein's accusers is suing prince andrew. alleges the prince sexually assaulted her when she was it 15 years old. jillian maxwell in the background. the prince has denied the allegation. california's dixie fire shows no signs of letting up. the blaze now growing tout largest fire in state's history. scorching nearly half a million acres. at least 900 structures have

been destroyed with thousands more in its destructive path. officials say the fire is only 22% contained as excessive heat and dry conditions make it easier for the flames to spread. how about this? squad member cori bush and cnn are under fire for highlighting a story that ended up being fake. the network aired a segment with a las vegas woman who claimed she and her kids would be out on the streets if the eviction moratorium ended. she raised over $230,000 through a go fund me campaign. cnn had her back on the air with the missouri congresswoman praising her efforts; however, here's the problem. the children's real mom came forward revealing the woman was the babysitter. cnn issued a correction, bush has not commented. that is quite a story. ainsley: it's wrong. brian: quite a wrong story. steve: how did they get it that wrong. the. ainsley: she pretended to be the mom of those kids. brian: go fund me.

dr. marty makary. your column in the wall street journal the quote in the guardian are having people examine the masks. why do we know so little about the effectiveness of masks and kids? >> well, it's amazing. you know, brian, in that guardian piece, they basically assumed that kids are going to need vaccines under 12. the study is not even done. the trial is ongoing, yet, they have already made the conclusion. it's really amazing, we have imposed a tremendous amount of restrictions now coming on almost two years on 56 million kids, including the 40% of add dough less sent vaccinated forced a it blanket masking even with low rates of infection, with no good data. the nih spends $42 billion a year and over the last year and a half, they have spent more money on the wuhan virology institute than they have studying masks on kids. they have spent twice as much on aging research than they have on covid research over the last

year. brian: which is unbelievable. got $40 billion budget and he spends about 2% on covid questions. you bring up, too, the negative side of masks, acne obviously is a issue. maybe not a major issue life and death it hinders learning that should be taken into consideration. also carbon dioxide breathing out for a reason. that stays in your face in your body. tell people the downside. i thought it was fascinating dr. fauci was asked that yesterday, about the impact of masks on kids. listen to this. >> it's going to be a balance that we were feel very badly if we all of the sudden said okay, kids, don't wear masks then you find out retrospectively that this virus in a very, very strange and unusual way is really hitting kids really hard. but hopefully this will be a temporary thing. temporary enough that it doesn't have any lasting negative impact on them. >>

brian: hopefully? maybe? we'll see? >> you know, the small cloth masks that kids are wearing probably have some minimal impact in reducing transmission in areas of active outbreaks, but we have been assuming there is zero harm associated with it. and the truth is, some kids do well with masks, and other kids struggle. severely. 5% of kids have a cognitive or physical disability yet this requirement is blanket on them. the masks alter breathing and we don't know the long-term consequences. it's one thing if it does so for a couple weeks or months. but we are coming on almost two years now requiring kids to have their facial expressions mute you had, they are not visualizing speech, which is important and kinetic development and there is no exit strategy. the cdc put this on blanket without any plan to remove it or criteria. brian: you just point out, too, this is traveling more with kids. this delta variant. but a lot of it has to do with

the fact that seniors have been vaccinated. >> that's right. have the kids wear the n-95 masks kind of let them eat cake. n-95 masks are not easy to wear for a long period of time. i see doctors and nurses loosen the mask and take them off at the end of a long shift. hard to wear. hard to fit. do we expect kids at the absolute lowest risk of covid fatality to be wearing these things for a long time? i hear parents say look, it's okay for the kids to wear masks in my opinion in order to get them in person. i understand that. but that's not a medical argument. that's basically a political concession. brian: i always like when parents were in control of their kids maybe i'm op. old fashioned dr. marty makary, thank you very much. always appreciate your perspective. it's always well-researched. appreciate it. >> thanks, brian. brian: we should expect more from our cdc. they should be doing more

4-year-old boy shot in his bed. ainsley mentioned the 9-year-old this morning shot in his wed as well. this has been going on for some time. that's why president trump said i don't want another legend happen where a young boy loses his life. partner with law enforcement. he did that. 6,000 arrests were achieved. 500 for homicide. he cared and stepped up. sadly, steve, i do not think the biden administration cares. if they did, it would not have taken them nearly six months to finally give an address on crime and that was nearly an address. no real remedy just words. steve: yeah. ainsley: secretary mayorkas has announced he is going to go to south texas on thursday. going to meet with officials down there. brian: nice of him, isn't it? ainsley: "the washington post" actually "the washington post" is criticizing the biden administration for the way they are handling the border. there's the headline right there. it says president biden needs coherent strategy. they go on to say the convoluted messaging telling migrants not seek entry into the united

states while at the same time relaxing or scrapping any array of measures that would actually dissuade them and providing rethree of migrants on both sides of the border has been a failure. that failure is measurable and it is politically toxic. are you surprised "the washington post" would do this or is this because they know midterms are around the corner and they need to -- yeah, go ahead. >> that's exactly it, ainsley. what an absolute joke. you and steve both said it this morning. this has nothing to do with real interest in the problem. this is everything to do with politics. "the washington post" editorial board is as liberal as they come. probably the most liberal paper in the nation competing with the "new york times." they know that this is a politically toxic issue. they know that the tail wind behind president donald trump winning in 2016 was immigration. we saw it in polls when i was at the rnc. this is a huge issue and now covid is being imported through our southern border as ron desantis has said. this is politically motivated. that is it at base.

brian: what i love is the fact is when it comes to the policies we are working at the border. they have to overturn them. donald trump put them in they have to overturn them. when it comes to afghanistan donald trump had a deal so we're going through with his plan. they're hesitant on overturning things that they don't like when they do like them they say they can't change them. i think it's unbelievable. this column goes on to also condemn in the gentleness way possible for vice president for generic statement of what's wrong and what needs to be done at the border. this is also going to resonate with a lot of people who are ignoring this story. so it's going to work against them. i don't know who got dressed first this morning kayleigh, i think it was ainsley but you are wearing of the exact same color. i don't know how this happens. you know, every day steve and i call each other to make sure this doesn't happen, can we work something out here? ainsley: i do my best to look as good as kayleigh, i try my hardest to look like you, kayleigh. >> i was streaming you guys and i was hearing the audio and i didn't see the image until just

s? >> so we came up with the idea of patriot plates. i was driving around with my dad and we pulled up in front of a purple heart license plate and we started talking about how interesting it be to talk to a veteran and hear his story and then we came up with patriotic plates and i met her at softball and she is going into film some day and we are just the perfect balance. she does the film side of the patriotic plates show and i do more of the logistics side. steve: right, and baya, you were helping to bring people stories about individuals like jason, that they would never ever otherwise get to hear. >> yes. it's great and amazing to bring everyone together and have people listen to these veteran stories and especially people that we see on the daily and you would never expect, well,

personally for me, i would never expect someone like jason wenk to be a purple heart veteran, so it's amazing to find this. steve: so let's talk to jason. jason? they based this idea on they're going to follow people, they see the military plates and they are going to ask them about their service. tell me how they approached you. >> well, it was actually bridgette's father david that approached me. i was just waiting to in line to get gas at costco and came up to my window and wasn't expecting to have necessarily a great interaction with somebody just approaching me in a parking lot. he thanked me for my service, asked if i'd be willing to participate in the project and after thinking it over for a little bit i kind of decided sounded like a good thing they were doing so i took part. steve: you did, and so bridgette you're interviewing him for your show on youtube and he revealed

something that you immediately decided you had to fix. >> yes, so we were interviewing him and we found out that he had never received his purple heart and we were trying to find a good date to launch our series and i was researching and i found purple heart day and i found what a better way to start our series than give jason wenk his purple heart after 17 years he deserves it. so it was just a perfect opening steve: so jason, you thought they were just going to interview you but they actually presented you with a purple heart that they have located. how surprised were you? >> oh, they got me. i thought i was just coming back to record a little bit more audio for the interview and when i arrived, there were a lot of officers, senior leadership from arizona national guard, members of the national order of the

purple heart from various local chapters and they told me you're not here to record anything else we're here to award you with the medal that you never got. steve: that's fantastic and i know that that is not the official medal. that process takes a couple of years so you're going to fill out the paperwork to receive the official medal later, but ladies you got the ball rolling. check it out, patriotic plates@ youtube.com/patriotic plates, bridgette and bella, staff sergeant jason, good luck to all of you. >> thank you so much for having us. steve: that's great. coming up a member of the squad hits the dance floor, where's her mask? >> ♪ i'm so glad you're ok, sgt. houston. this is sam with usaa. do you see the tow truck? yes, thank you, that was fast. sgt. houston never expected this to happen.

that gun. ainsley: now flags are flying at half staff there was a vigil last night. they put a cross in the area where she was gunned down with her name on it and a photo of her. there were a lot of people that showed up for the vigil. you can see the crossover to the left. it's a white cross and they are all saying prayers for the family and flying that american flag and holding the blue balloons they would release later for her, and then the chicago police department tweeted this out. police officer ella french, end of watch, august 7, 2021. we will never forget the true bravery she exemplified as she laid down her life to protect others. please hold her family, loved ones and fellow chicago police officers in your thoughts, as we grieve the loss of his hero. brian: criminal justice reform has allowed in chicago, has really limited police, it's the prosecutors are now prosecuting crime and cops have been defamed and disempowered little things they are trying to do, they identified the police

and law enforcement as the problem. obviously, it's not the problem, because for a year, or so, they've stepped back and we see the gang violence out of control. i'm not sure if this is gang related but essentially, the feeling was let them shoot each other, but now they are shooting everybody, and you looked at the cops as the bad guys and therefore that's why they turned their back when the mayor went up to visit in the hospital, because one of the officers is struggling on this hour, for their lives. here is chicago alderman, a democrat raymond lopez, talking about their anger towards the mayor. >> the fact of the matter is that we've had 38 officers shot at in the city of chicago since lori lightfoot has been mayor this year alone. you had ella french gunned down and viciously murdered this past weekend, and i think the lesson that we've learned is that the only thing more dangerous than the gang bangers and criminals on the streets of the city of chicago is mayor lori lightfoot and her failed belief she is in charge in

helping the city of chicago. she is an absolute failure. steve: officer french's murder has rattled a city that has been struggling with violence not only this summer, but for years. 66 people were shot over the weekend alone. ainsley: and officer, remember him in your prayers he is the partner of ella, and he's fighting for his life and his dad is a retired police officer too and he told lori lightfoot you're not welcome here, do not come to this hospital and she did anyway, and sources say they got into an altercation and he essentially said you have blood on your hands because she recommended cutting $80 million from the police department last october. steve: there goes backup. brian: please remember this on election day. these people are out to protect you abdomen they aren't being supported talking about police officers. meanwhile, six minutes after the top of the hour i'd argue this is the number one story in the country and that's the pandemic that will not let up including the delta variant,

therefore, instead of september when kids go back full time and don't distance, now they are told to go back full time but wear a mask. a lot of people are saying okay there's wearing a mask. should not come from washington, should it come from the governor 's office, should it come from your local school district and is anyone bringing up the fact that parents should have a say in what their kids do and don't do in terms of cutting putting on a mask has anyone looked at the downside long term now it's a second year of kids trying to learn in masks. that question was finally put to anthony fauci whose never found a microphone or a camera he didn't want to stare into. listen. now we're tracking that the cdc is tracking that really very carefully so it's going to be a balance that we would feel very badly if we all of a sudden said okay, kids don't wear masks and then you find out retrospective ly that this virus in a very very strange and unusual way is really hitting kids really hard, but hopefully,

this will be a temporary thing, temporary enough that it doesn't have any lasting negative impact on them. steve: hopefully. brian: we just gave you $40 billion can you find out? its been a year and a half. ainsley: we'll make your kids wear a mask. hopefully there won't be any negative impacts you don't know? you haven't studied this? steve: no they haven't. marty makary, we quoted him yesterday in the wall street journal, the nih has not devot ed any money into studying kids and masks. they have said that this delta variant is different than the uk variant, so you know it's kind of a wildcard, but nonetheless, the big fear of educators as by the end of this week, 36% of american kids will be back at school. the big fear is that we go back to having to take our kids out of the building and school them at home. that is the worst case scenario and that's what they don't want to do and that's why they are talking about having everybody

wear a mask. so you know, parents are trying to, -- brian: there's no proof they are effective in schools. they found getting kids out of the home into the classroom is better for them and keeps the numbers down. steve: but brian, no science exists whether or not that is true, and so, what is going on, is the school boards and these different states are saying okay , if you want your kids to go to school, the price of admission is they are going to have to wear the mask so you got to do the calculation. what is better for my kid to be at home sitting on the couch watching merv griffin, he used to be on a long time ago, or in the room, with the teacher, wearing a mask. ainsley: well you have to factor in the developmental issues, children not being able to see teachers facial expression. brian: carbon dioxide. ainsley: breathing in what she just breathed out and so many different factors and that's what dr. marty makary was talking about earlier with brian listen to this. >> masks that kids are wearing

probably have some minimal impact in reducing transmission in areas of active outbreaks but we've been assuming there's zero harm associated with it and the truth is, some kids do well with masks, and other kids struggle, severely, 5% of kids have a cognitive or physical disability, yet this requirement is blanket on them. do we really expect kids who are at the absolute lowest risk of covid fatality to be wearing these things for a long time and i hear parents say look, it's okay for the kids to wear a mask in my opinion, in order to get them in-person, i understand that but that's not a medical argument. that's basically a political concession. brian: parents have the control , is a great idea. it usually has worked in past generations for americans. parents having a say in how their kids go to school. that's who these governors are saying. steve: but you want your kids to go right now, and so if the price of admission right now apparently is, you know, a lot of different institutions -- ainsley: i think people are mad too, just so over it.

steve: but do you know what? like in new jersey we're back to wearing masks everywhere you go. brian: that guy loves putting masks on everybody. steve: the price of admission to fly on an airplane into texas or florida you got to wear a mask because of the faa. i think when fauci is talking about temporary i think what they are talking about is it sounds like by the end of next week they will approve at least one of the two vaccines for final fda approval, and that is good. it is thought that at the same time, they may approve on an emergency basis vaccines for children, and so -- brian: and keep them in masks. steve: he's talking about temporary because once the kids are vaccinated, the numbers are going to go down so they can turn the corner and we can get the masks off. brian: delta variant, by almost all experts you look at india, you look at the uk, in about two weeks it'll begin to fall off a cliff, if a past is prologue. ainsley: i hope you're right so let's talk about the border.

secretary mayorkas is going down to south texas thursday talking with the front line workers and local officials and community leaders, but many are questioning where is president biden in all of this and why is he ignoring the problem. in fact now the washington post is even writing this in their editorial board's writing this. here is the headline. president biden needs a coherent strategy for the border. they talk about the convoluted messaging telling the migrants not to come but then they were relaxing the measures and allowing them to come over and not even, you know, covid testing them. steve: right and they even point out that the person in charge of the administration's response to the root causes is kamala harris , who went down there and came up with a five-point plan that the washington post said anybody could have come up with. ainsley: anyone could have come up with. steve: you could have read usa today. ainsley: her plan is criminal gang, sexual domestic violence all the problems going down at the border. steve: right so the washington post the final paragraph after they say look the administration is really blowing it they say

and because they are blowing it, there's such an in coherent message the people of america are shocked at the response of the people flooding over they will lose the house and they will lose the senate and there's no way to put the toothpaste back in the tube, so in other words it's a clear call for the biden administration, do something before you lose! brian: and remember the pictures that we saw over the weekend, the kids are still packed intents, the things you condemned donald trump for doing that lasted a few weeks look at this. and by the way, 18% on average have covid-19? i don't think it's going to spread in that terrarium, do you i don't think so. 3 came last wednesday, hundreds are coming because they get to stay, because joe biden has a big heart. he doesn't realize it's a big magnet. you let 800 in, you're letting 80,000 because it's a go sign for guatemala, romania, cuba, everywhere else in the world. this is the most preventable catastrophe that i can remember.

ainsley: well i'm sure they are worried about it to your point, steve, the democrats are worried about it the mid-terms are just a year away, they don't want republicans to take over, we asked kayleigh mcenany why would the washington post write an article that's negative about the administration? listen. >> this has nothing to do with real interest in the problem. this is everything to do with politic, the washington post editorial board is as liberal as they come probably the most liberal paper in the nation competing with the new york times. they know that this is a politically toxic issue and they know the tailwind behind president donald trump winning in 2016 was immigration. we saw it in polls back when i was at the rnc, this is a huge issue and now covid is being imported through our southern border as ron desantis has said. this is politically motivated. that is it at base. steve: that's right and she's right about that last point about covid being imported through our southern border because apparently, according to nbc news on thursday, the president got a briefing where something like one in five

close to one in four of the migrants who come into the country have covid. ainsley: a crazy number. brian: put that on his card. steve: as soon as they are released from border patrol they are checked and a quarter of them have covid which means they are immediately isolated and then they are released into the public but they are supposed to be deported but they go do you know what they got covid. ainsley: and theophano complain because the numbers are up in texas and in florida when all these migrants are going to florida, border patrol told the governor of florida that then they want to know why are the numbers up why aren't these governors doing anything about it why aren't you doing anything about it. why don't you close the borders and don't allow covid to come into our country. brian: don't worry not all go to texas and florida a lot or just seeding the rest of the country, they go on buses that we paid for and might even be in your city but not in rich neighborhoods they don't go to martha's vindicated yard on the ferry. they go to working class neighborhoods so they are over taxed and if their schools are underfunded it's a terrible

combination and why the working class isn't angrier i don't understand and the big picture i know you agree with me, i don't even care about politics. i care about the border patrol people on a daily basis who are exposed to this , the community is overrun by this , i want it solved. i don't even care who gets credit but i've never seen somebody look at a major problem and refuse to address it and get a pass from the american people and the american media. this is the most maddening thing i can remember. ainsley: to wear masks they tell everyone else you need vaccinated but when it comes to the border they want to turn texas and arizona blue. brian: you lost all credibility , nobody is listening because we understand the real story. steve: and the real story is for decades the u.s. congress has refused to act on immigration reform, both parties , george w. bush tried to do it, obama tried to do it. brian: but it's not like this. this is a come one, come all, you're all allowed in, come to the border. in the middle of a pandemic. ainsley: and if republicans don't win, another three years

at least of that. brian: and keep in mind nobody says border security shouldn't be first. this is the first administration to say we don't care about border security. steve: all right we do care about the news, and for that jillian has got it. jillian: good morning let's begin your headlines with this. this morning the senate is expected to pass the roughly 1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill following months of negotiations. the democrats are shifting their attention to pushing through a massive multi trillion dollar budget plan without any republican support. the house is expected to consider both infrastructure packages when it returns to session next month. >> princeton university offering a critical race theory course called #black lives matter. the school says the course " offers a critical examination of the prison industrial complex , police brutality, urban poverty in the u.s. " former princeton professor joined fox & friends first earlier and said it needs to stop. listen. >> all the other institutions look to the ivy league.

they want to be the harvard of the south or the princeton, and so if we can target those ivy league schools and change them, the other schools will follow suit. jillian: the course will be taught by a professor who openly admits she is committed to crt. >> talk show host, steven colbert revealed he was disinvited from former president barack obama's birthday party. >> i don't know why i didn't get to go. >> [laughter] >> there you go. in the massive scaling back, i got massively scaled. >> [laughter] jillian: he got the call five days before the party that they were scaling back because of covid concerns, because since he and his wife booked a non- refundable plane ticket and hotel room they decided to still go to martha's vindicated yard the daily mail snapping this photo of colbert arriving on the island. steve: and he was then able to talk about you had he got uninvited. brian: if anyone deserves credit for barack obama and joe biden it has to be the late

night talk show host so they should be the first invited because they are vital to his success. ainsley: thank you, jillian. it's 8:18 on the east coast coming up, oregon's governor quietly signing a bill that lets students graduate even if they aren't proficient in math or reading, leo terrell was once a history teacher, he's going to join us next. steve: plus news from hollywood, britney spears facing a legal setback in her quest for freedom as she tells fans, she only know half of the drama. we're going to try to bring you the other half, coming up. >> ♪ why choose proven quality sleep from sleep number?

oregon governor kate brown facing backlash now after quietly signing a controversial bill last month that does not require high school students to be proficient in reading, writing or math, before they graduate. the governor' office claims, " suspending the proficiency requirements while the state develops new graduation standard s will benefit the state 's students of color." here to react fox news contributor and former history and social studies teacher, leo terrell. hey, leo good morning. >> hi, steve, how are you thanks for having me on this is a very important subject. steve: you know it is important but why is she trying to keep this quiet that you don't have to be good at it. they will go ahead and graduate you even if you get a lousy grade. >> well i'll tell you right now first of all education is the key to break the poverty cycle and she's embarrassed about this and keeping utility quiet because it insults people of color. they have eliminated a measuring tool to determine quality and

competency in these skills. it's a victory for teacher's unions because now the teachers don't have to teach but the statement is that it's going to benefit people of color. steve, how? how is it going to benefit people of color? my mother had an eighth grade education and my dad a high school education. you lower the standards, you dumb down kids, i think it's in bare racing and it's insulting and more importantly, it's racist because it implies that just because of skin color, you can't pass a test. steve: why even, you know, if you don't have to be proficient in a class, wouldn't it be easier just not to require somebody not to take the class? don't even take that class. just take classes you're good at >> that's exactly my point. the three basic necessities in life is to read, write, and count, and they are saying you don't have to do that any longer because we want to make sure you pass. it is a worthless diploma. it is a worthless diploma. steve, i had to take a bar exam

jillian: good morning we're back with your headlines former cdc director robert redfield doubled down on his belief that covid-19 leaked from a lab in china. take a listen. >> laboratory leak is the most likely origin of this virus. it's in a way tragic because you would then say that this pandemic was caused in a way by science, not necessarily by nature. jillian: redfield says he's been sidelined and threatened because he supports the covid lab leak theory. alabama firefighters rescue a woman swimming in a 70-foot high water tank. she broke into the fenced area and climbed a ladder to the top of the tank. a retired officer spotted her and alerted police. workers drained and sanitized the 350,000-gallon water tank after the incident. the woman is set to undergo a mental health evaluation. fall is right around the corner and of course that means all things pumpkin spice if you're into it, and pumpkin spice

texas, eliz elizabeth. good morning to all out of again >> good morning. ainsley: elizabeth i ended with you so i'll start with you this time. what do you think of the politicians mandating these medical decisions for your children? >> you know i have three kids and i believe that it should be a household decision, and not mandated by society. just this past week, my two daughters were in a new camp and they struggled to make friends because the masks made their peers look intimidating and un approachable and i just worry for the long term psychological effects that these masks are having and it's really a matter of i read an article in the wall street journal yesterday that talked about the efficacy of children masking and the prevention of the spread of covid and there's only been one study done and that was in conclusive so i'm not sure what the reward is but i know that risk for my children's emotional growth is huge, and i think it's our responsibility as adults to

protect ourselves and vaccinate ourselves and not rely on our children to protect us and i just want my children to have a childhood where they can give and receive smiles. ainsley: we talked about that article it was very fascinating, dr. makary wrote that with other peer called "the case against masks for children" and he goes through the things our children are going through and he mentions there's only been one or very few studies on this , so they are telling our kids to do this , yet we're not really sure it's good for them. jamie, if you want to send your kids to school with a mask do it by all means but should this be a family decision? >> absolutely it should be a family decision. government should not be telling us if we have to cover our faces with a mask that's potentially really disgusting and covered in bacteria. my thing is the children should not be wearing a mask within minutes the mask is completely contaminated, they touch it a

hundred times, they pull it up, pull it down, they drop it on a public restroom floor, put it back on their face, it's completely not high again ic and i would argue that picking up a piece of tissue in a new york city sidewalk probably has less bacteria on it for the simple fact it's getting uv light and potentially the germs are getting killed in that way, but it's unbelievable that this is even a thing, and for us, i want to say, we have, our kids are in school wearing masks. they do a mask break but the best part is, they take a mask break, the masks are covered are damp, wet, you know, from their mouth and snotty, they hang it on a chain link fence. our schools very old. that fence is probably around 50 years old, then you know when the kids are done playing they drowned their hands in sanitizer , go grab their masks which potentially has tetanus,

so hoping the dtap shot that my kid has is as effective as the covid shot and place them on their face with cracked and chapped lips. it's the perfect recipe for infection, it's so upsetting to me i can't believe we're doing this and i'm really disappointed in our governor and what he put in place for our kids this school year. ainsley: yeah you live in new jersey, carissa, you have sons eight and 10 years old and to jamie's point, she's right some of the kids have their mask underneath their nose, they aren't doing it properly, we try to follow the rules but when you're talking about an eight or 5-year-old, they are going to forget and sometimes it goes below the nose. what do you think? >> yeah, ainsley, i think there's two major issues here as a mom and clinician. one, covid information is unclear, confusing, and been back and forth at-best. two, as parents we all want choices, as it relates to our kids so as it relates to the confusing and conflicting details, there has been no study

that has demonstrated efficacy of wearing a mask. basically, covid particles go through a mask, any mask, especially a cloth mask which most of our kids wear and with my little kids i worry about the long term side effects which everybody is using cdc guidance, and cdc isn't a law making branch of the government and quite frankly as a parent i think it's in constitutional. i think i should have some choice and say in what goes on in my kid's lives especially if they are at school eight hours in a 90-degree classroom, with a mask on, and it's unfortunate that we can't get beyond just the cdc guidance and get people to open up. my job really is to educate people on everything. i've been working with policy makers across both aisles to try to show them controlled studies that have been done in educating then clinically that masks might be some protection but they aren't shown to work with covid, and to make our kids wear something that hasn't been prove ebb to work without looking at the side effects my eight- year-old has special needs he gets febrile seizures with as

majority and he's in a mask all day and i'm concerned and concerned about what to do this fall because i was at a participant's school board meeting last night and basically they are following cdc guidance. i have news, let's make guidance that makes sense. cdc, why don't you issue let's make common sense guidance. look at the other bodies of research out there. breathe the other sides to really make an informed decision so i call on all of the policy makers in schools to really think about when you go to bed at night and you put your head on a pillow, you guys could be super heros to go above and beyond and really consider some of the other sides of this , in making decisions that make sense for parents because academically kids need to be in school. parents need to be at work. it affects the whole world. the economy. all branches of the government, when we make decisions for our kids that really don't make sense. ainsley: kids need to see those facial expressions from their teachers and see what their teachers look like. dr. fauci said hopefully we're

not making kids wear masks won't have a lasting negative impact. i thought hopefully? where are the studies? if we're not studying them hopefully you're making my kid do this but you're not really sure. thank you, ladies for coming on with us we appreciate it. >> thank you. ainsley: god bless you all. a live look at capitol hill where just hours from now senators are expected to vote on that massive infrastructure bill , j.d. vance is running to represent the people of ohio and does not support this spending push. he's going to join us live, next >> ♪

they don't want anyone republican support, they won't need it. gop ohio senate candidate j.d. vance here. j. d., the guy that you hope to take his spot, rob portman, is in support of this. he helped negotiate this. if you want his seat, does that mean you agree with this bill? >> no, i don't, brian, and by the way, if folks want to support us go to j.d. vance.com. the problem with this bill is it spends a ton of taxpayer dollars and it doesn't solve any real problem that we would have or solve the long term immigration problem, the border crisis, it doesn't solve the inflation crisis and so we're spending a lot of american taxpayer dollars to not solve any real problems and that's why i think it's a big mistake. it's also giving air cover i think for this massive $3.5 trillion spending plan that's going to come after the infrastructure bill which has the big amnesty program in it, and so i worry, unfortunately, the republican establishment republicans have just been had on this infrastructure bill. brian: $425 billion for

infrastructure, you're a finance guy. you know that we need some infrastructure. you don't think that would help? >> look, i think $425 billion of infrastructure is good. the problem is all the other things that come along with it. and we basically have given the democrats a ton of their wish lists and i think not gotten a ton in response so for example, there's a new government bureaucracy created in this infrastructure package that basically is targeted at the problem of too many men driving big rigs. this is an actual provision in the legislation. why do we need to spend taxpayer money to try to get fewer men and more women into the big rig profession. it doesn't make any sense, so i think again, the problem here is not that we don't need infrastructure. we do. the problem is that they are spending money on the wrong things. brian: so you're running for the senate seat, josh mendel l, treasurer of ohio republican is running as well he's the front runner early, you got to wait until may , but he says you're like mitt romney and liz cheney, are you a rhino?

so her next hearing is scheduled for the end of september and her lawyer asked a judge to move it up to the end of august to expedite the process the judge is keeping it in september so that's the next big news we'll hear on this front. maybe the judge wants to give britney spears and her father a little bit more time to present their cases, and get everything squared off, but so it's okay. everything is still on track, britney is just going to take a little bit more time to get to the big hearing. brian: she can use her money for a good lawyer to get her own freedom. >> she already has a good lawyer. ainsley: what about major league soccer? >> oh, my gosh this is so cute. steve: one of the questions ainsley never asked. >> [laughter] so i think we have a budding soccer star among us so this ohio mother took her two- year-old son to a major league soccer game. steve: that son right there? >> yes, so she turned her head for a second and in that time, he had already crawled under a fence and ran on to the field. steve: where he was going? >> she says she was at an event

where they had club seats she was with her co-workers and she was so embarrassed but the whole crowd was laughing cheering them on so it was really cute. how funny is that. ainsley: i hope her back feels okay. steve: sorry mom! >> that's right but got to love the kid. can't take your eyes off of them more fox & friends in just a moment. >> ♪ usaa is made for the safe pilots. like mac. who can come to a stop with barely a bobble. with usaa safepilot, when you drive safe... ...you can save up to 30% on your auto insurance. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. get a quote today.
