"fox & friends" starts right now. have freight day. ♪ ♪ >> the yeas are 50. the nays are 49. >> just moments ago the senate passing the $3.5 trillion budget blueprint. >> as conservatives are slamming the $1 trillion infrastructure bill that passed the senate yesterday. >> my resignation will be effective in 14 days. >> have you spoken to your brother today, sir? >> andrew cuomo's resignation changes nothing. >> beyond the cascading sex scandal, there are other investigations that are criminal. >> loudoun county virginia school teacher publicly quitting. >> i quit being a cog in a machine that asks me to push

highly politicized agendas. >> for that teacher to go up there that's brave. >> afghan leaders got to fight for themselves. we're watching the bloody collapse of kabul and its government right before our eyes. >> good morning, everybody, we're starting with a live look at d.c. and a fox news alert. two hours ago the u.s. senate passed democrat's $3.5 trillion budget blueprint. ainsley: right about 4:00 a.m. in morning. packed with funding for liberal agenda items including climate change and free community college. brian: still going to hack it up between moderates and liberals and of course got get through the other chamber. griff jenkins joins us live. what is a blueprint and why is it so costly. >> good morning, brian, ainsley and steve. the pliewnt is just the first step that the democrats took to get to the passage of this massive $3.on budget

bill. now, it was straight down party lines, 50, 49. one republican was absent. the partisan vote leaving party leaders at odds on the passage. watch. >> despite this long road we have taken, we have finally, finally reached the finish line. of course, we democrats believe we need to do much more. >> they want to put behind this budget resolution like somebody walked across the rotunda to the house and handed the squad a pen and piece of paper. >> as the day begins here is where we expect to begin this massive bill. free preschool and community cleaning and expansion of child care and medicare. climate change initiatives like polluter fees on imports and higher taxes on wealthy businesses and corporations it could also allocate funds to tracy what they call quote the lawful permanent status for qualified immigrants. this after the senate already passed a $1.2 trillion infrastructure package. you are looking here at the 19

g.o.p. senators who handed president biden his long sought after bipartisan victory. that bill includes 110 billion for roads, bridges and major projects. 66 billion for rails. 65 billion for broadband. but it also includes 2.7 billion for achieving digital equity, 2 million for befriendly landscaping. 500 million for healthy streets reflective sidewalks and tree planting and 7.5 electric vehicle charging stations. that's why senator hawley is among those who opposed this. >> this isn't a infrastructure bill radical left woke politics bill that has stuff like gender identity mandates in it radical equity agenda the green new deal. that's all in this bill. griff: a little later we expect the president to meet with mayors and governors to talk the infrastructure bill and expect now questions about this $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation package. brian, ainsley, steve?

steve: griff, it's kind of complicated, yesterday they passed a bill for 1 trillion. that's the real infrastructure. but with this human infrastructure thing, they simply passed a resolution which unlocks reconciliation, right? griff: that's right. so the quick 411 on how this works, to pass a bill you have to have at least 10 republicans to break the filibuster. 60 votes. they got that with those 19 republicans on the infrastructure $1.2 trillion deal. but, when it came to this massive $3.5 trillion behemoth of human infrastructure, zero republicans were on board so they had to go to that budget reconciliation rule where they throw a lot of things from and pass it along a simple majority. all they need is 51. in this case they passed the framework which means the end result is all but a done deal. they will pass that one, the $3.5 trillion bill by a simple majority and it looks like they will have that as well. ainsley: griff, any indication what the house will do? griff: well, speaker pelosi,

remember, demanded that before she will consider the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill she wanted both bills, including that $3.5 trillion behemoth, so now it appears she is getting her will to get it sent over. the question is whether or not there are enough moderate democrats ultimately in the house that might complicate the math assuming the republicans are on board. brian: big hope would be the parliamentarian steps in and say sober up. some of this has nothing to do with budget which means it doesn't qualify for reconciliation that parliamentarian has got to be strong and not intimidated. they will try to intimidate her. griff: elizabeth that done know will again be the popular person in washington. we will see exactly what she decides to do. brian: you got it, griff. check in with you again. yesterday was stunning news. first we had the governor of new york. the most high profiled governor in the country have his lawyer come out and step-by-step painfully go through every

single one of his accusers and more and talk about how they were wrong. and then in comes governor cuomo, this address live. he comes out and says first off, i'm nrnghts i'm merely a victim of my times, the world is so poisonous. i will step aside. here's a little of that. >> in a highly political matter like this, there are many agendas and there are many motivations at play if anyone thought otherwise, they would be naive. government needs to perform. it is a matter of life and death, government operation. and wasting energy on distractions is the last thing that state government should be doing. the best way i can help now is if i step aside and, therefore, that's what i will do. because i work for you. and doing the right thing is

doing the right thing for you. ainsley: he apologized for being insensitive. he said this is generational and cultural shift. he liked to kiss and hug. he liked to call women honey and sweetheart. 70% of new york's registered voters say he should go. is he moving out of the governor's mansion in two weeks no. word yet on where he will go. he doesn't own another house. steve: in two weeks kathy hochul will take over. >> first female governor. the state has soaring crime and trying to dig out from underneath the coronavirus pandemic. she has a lot of work ahead of her. everybody should wish her the best. because that's a tough situation. meanwhile, after the senate passed the $1 trillion infrastructure bill yesterday, the president went out, it was a big day for him because it was a big win for his party and he was asked by ed o'keefe of cbs about the job that mr. cuomo had done

as governor and the president said this. >> one of the democrats for the year that you spoke with about infrastructure the most was andrew cuomo. how would you assess his 10 and a half years as governor of the state? >> well, he has done of hell of a job. he has done a hell of a job. and, i mean, both on everything from access to voting to infrastructure, the whole range of things. that's why it's so sad. >> can you really say that he has done, quote, a hell of a job, if he is accused of sexually harassment. >> asked substantive job. should he remain as governor is one question. women should be believed on the face make sense if they're investigated and the judgment was made what they said was correct. that's one thing. the question is did he do a good job on infrastructure? that was the question. he did.

steve: the press event was about infrastructure and that's why he circled around. ainsley: he has to say that he has made bad personal choices but as a democrat he is a good person and made good choices there. brian: by the way if you are around the country. you don't know how he runs into new york. you think he is doing good job he isn't. wasted so much money. wanted to make syracuse a film hub that fell flat on it face. get rid of millionaire's tax. he kept it in place. the millionaires are leaving in great numbers. the hydrofracking that was supposed to rerural. ainsley: that would have brought so much money tour state taxes would have gone down. brian: they had people moving in starting to build up businesses and he killed it even though environmental tall study. his sparring with the idiot mayor we have hurt new yorkers the message was so mixed when we needed the clearest message

possible. ainsley: and what about the nursing home. brian: arguably bigger than everything. ainsley: that's right. steve: there are still criminal investigations into that. the fbi is looking into it he is not off the hook yet. they still could, the assembly still could impeach him in which case he could never be able to run -- ainsley: and more charges women are claiming. steve: he has legal peril. janice dean and ron kim calling for his resignation. they got it yesterday. how do they feel the day after? they will be joining us in a half hour. ainsley: both of them lost loved ones due to the nursing home crisis. coming up oklahoma school board member apologizing after making this comment about maskless students. >> because it is just not okay for kids to commit murder by coming to school without a mask. ainsley: dr. marc siegel says we should mandate vaccines for teachers and not mask the kids. he is up after the break. ♪ ♪.

appeared before the school board. she broke into tears and she said as a teacher she would not honor the transgender pronoun policy because of her faith. and then she did something that no one saw coming. she wanted to speak before the board to do this. >> within the last year, i was told in one of my so-called equity trainings about white christian able-bodied females currently have the power in our schools and that, quote: which has to change. clearly you have made your point. you no longer value me or many other teachers you have employed in this county. so since my contract outlines the power that you have over my employment in loudoun county public schools, i thought it necessary to resign in front of you. steve: she just quit. ainsley: i quit your policies. i quit your training. she talked about email that the superintendent sent out to all the teachers that says these are our policies. these are our guidelines. you have to stick to these, you are not allowed to speak out against them.

if you do here's a form that you can fill out. if you hear one of your colleagues speaking out. even in their personal lives about what is being taught here, fill out this form and send it to us basically snitch on them. steve: unbelievable. brian: amazing, too. the candidates running on the democratic side and the governor himself northam says there is no such thing as critical race theory in virginia. i watched an interview -- i listened to his interview with major garrett over the weekend. ian prior was one of the first to come public when he found out what was happening through his kids in school reacted this way to the resignation. >> the sad thing is that this teacher had to resign. meanwhile, you have members of the school board then gauge in plots against parents that harass parents and not a single member of the school board will call on, you know, this particular school board member to resign. it's just cowardice. and for this teacher to go up there and do what she did that's the exact opposite. that's bravery. that's standing up for what she believes inenned i applaud her.

steve: something the loudoun county school board did they restricted the ability for parents to speak. so, last night, simultaneously, the adults who were not able to speak had their own town hall essentially talking about what was going on. she, however, the teacher was able to get in front of the school board. ainsley: she said teachers feel very intimidated. they're scared if they speak out against it they will lose their job. brian: got together in osomeone's backyard and had their own meeting. steve: they did. john tition, he was actually arrested in june before the school board meeting. he is going to be coming up on our telecast today to talk about what is going on out in loudoun county. meanwhile, let's go to oklahoma where a school board member has issued an apology after she sparked absolute outrage with this comment about kids not wearing masks. >> just not okay for kids to commit murder by coming to school without a mask. and when it comes down to it, it's possible.

they will cause a death of another child because they come to school without a mask. that's not okay. steve: and she has since walked that back. she said her emotions got the best of her. and she apologized. meanwhile, in a new op-ed, our next guest argues we should mandate vaccines for teachers not masks for kids. fox news medical contributor dr. marc siegel joins us right now. doctor, good morning to you. >> hi, steve, how are you? steve: you know, a lot of people are confused about vaccine mandates and mask mandates and things like that. right now it is pretty clear we have no information about masks on kids. so, for people who say you have got to wear mask, the science is not there the nih, the cdc has not devoted money to it you say don't worry about the mask on the kids, worry about the adults in the room, right? >> yeah, let me spell this out. first of all, you just set it up

with this i understand emotional threat will murder. let me tell you what really is going to put kids' lives in danger is the whole idea of schools being shut. last year we saw a tremendous amount of anxiety, depression, and, yes, suicide among children who were shut out of schools and had remote learning. so all this jockeying and i call the mask issue a diversionary tactic. let's have a culture war over masks. look, if your child will tolerate a mask. go right ahead and try it i think there is some value against the delta variant as you just pointed out it hasn't been studied. last year there were plenty of studies that showed across the country that there was very low amount of spread in schools among children. do you know where children spread covid-19? outside of schools. so, yes, let schools do whatever mitigating measures they can do to try control spread there are much better place for our kids to be. and as far as my point in the op-ed about vaccination. how dare a teacher or a

teacher's representative body start to talk about what little children should do who don't have a right to -- who don't have the ability to stand up for themselves and they are going to walk into the school unvaccinated putting children at risk and then say children are putting them at risk? they got that backwards. it's parents and teachers and staff at schools schools that have to be vaccinated in order to make the school safe. steve: absolutely. you know, it's interesting, the president ha q and a after he addressed infrastructure yesterday from the east room of the white house. one of the things when asked about covid and masks and what's going on in various states, things like that, he said kids are getting sick. they are getting infected by unvaccinated adults. and once again, you know, he has made it very clear he feels everybody should get a shot when they can, if they can. >> look, steve, again, there is

too many politicians, including the president weighing in as though they are public health experts. we don't know what the rate of spread among children actually is. it was very low before and may be up because of the delta variant. but who is getting sick is adults and they are spreading it among themselves. it's not children spreading it to adults. we have a problem with children getting sicker from the delta variant. we have to figure out a way to protect them. school is one of the ways to protect them. and i know the president is trying here. but he is not an expert at this. all it does is spread what he calls misinformation. steve: sure. one thing we do know, you know, it is spiking right now, given the delta variant. i was reading a headline this morning, i think it was in the daily mail, it said that down in florida ambulances at some hospitals have to sit in front of the hospital for hours waiting for a bed to open up because they're at capacity right now because over the last couple of weeks the number of hospitalizations in florida has

tripled. you know, you have been watcherring this since the beginning. what's your worry about states where it is increasing like that? >> well, you have already said that. it's that hospitals reaching capacity, that makes it much harder. the delta variant is at least as serious as previous iterations of the virus, probably worse. this is simple the statistics continue to show if you get vaccinated you decrease your risk of hospitalization to almost to zero. i'm begging people out there who are not vaccinated get vaccinated not because somebody scolds out or shames you or marginalizes you or shames you can't come to this party news are vaccinated. none of. that will do it for your family and yourself and your community, that's why. do it because i asked you to and steve asks you to. steve: there you go, get the shot and you will not die for the most part. that's what the science shows. dr. siegel, thank you very much. read his op-ed, it's terrific.

thank you, sir. and there he would say you are welcome. all right, coming up on thissens with, congressman michael waltz is going to join us live. plus, the all-american mash-up guy fetty is serving ahead of the baseball field of dreams from iowa. what is guy holding? it looks delicious it involves apple pie and a hot dog.

jillian: good morning, we are back with your headlines, this

man is sentenced to nearly 9 years in prison for his role in a black lives matter riot. he streamed himself setting a minneapolis cell phone store on fire last year following george floyd's death. proshts prosecutors say he drove over 400 miles to engage in violence and destruction. the cdc revising covid-19 data after the state called out incorrect report on a case spike. the florida department of health says multiple days of cases were counted as one. sunday's total was the state's worst ever according to that cdc data. meanwhile the federal government sent 200 ventilators and other equipment to the sunshine state amid record breaking covid hospitalizations. senator cory booker did a tearful speech against the defund the police movement. take a listen. >> this senator has given us a gift that finally once and for all we can put to bed the scurrilous accusation somebody in this greatest steamed body would want to defund the police

can we add also every senator here wants to defund the police believes in god country and apple pie. jillian: booker expressing report for resolution to block federal funding to towns or cities that defund police departments it passed the senate 99 to 0 with all democrats voting for it. that is a look at your headlines. send it back to you. brian: it's been nearly four months since president biden ordered the full withdraw of troops to afghanistan. bucking almost all of his senior advisers. last week 8 provincial capitals have fallen to the taliban. as he says the afghan government must fight for themselves? >> we trained and equipped with modern equipment over 300,000 afghan forces. and afghan leaders have to come together. they have got it fight for themselves. fight for their nation. the united states insists we

continue to keep the commitments we made. brian: but they did not keep their commitments therefore it nullifies what we actually dealt with during the trump administration. congressman michael waltz colonel in the military, now in the national guard served green beret. congressman, first off, the speed in which these provincial capitals are following are stunning all observers. not you. why is the taliban making this progress and what is the brutality in their wake? >> yeah, the taliban are masters of psychological warfare. this is all the psychology, brian, one thing that clearly biden doesn't understand and those around him is, you know, the afghans could care less whether it's 2,000 american troops or 20,000 american troops. what they needed to hear is america is with you and standing with you. and what the taliban do so masterfully, they will take two bases, surround them both,

overrun them both, one of them thelma's kerr everyone. the other one they will let everyone go. they video it and send it to the next group of army bases and say you decide at the end of the day though, the americans abandoned you and you get to pick your fate. and by doing that, they take base after base after base because of the psychology and the psychological warfare of it all. brian: they're killing women, enslaving women. women whose hair is exposed goes on fire and they burn them alive in their wake. ambassador khalilzad cut this deal. yesterday he told the taliban to stop advancing. do you think that will be effective? >> yeah, i think frankly ambassador khalilzad needs to go. he needs to resign. he has clearly been wrong in this policy that he has pushed has turned out to be the disaster that sadly many of us foretold. but, to your point on well the taliban will be nicer this time, these are slack extremist thugs.

they are closely aligned with al-qaeda. al-qaeda is going to come roaring in in the wake as the taliban reinstitutes sharia law, brutalizing women and minorities, and executing everyone who has worked with the united states of america toe stand for freedom. and carbon monoxide, biden's own intelligence community says al-qaeda does intend to hit the united states again. biden needs to reverse course. stop the slaughter, and send back in american air power. brian: basically down to kabul and a story in the "the washington post" today and all girl's school. they wonder about their fate. sadly they don't have to wonder. if we don't do anything, they will all be enslaved and they will all be dead. and this was totally unnecessary with a small force with nato's' help we were holding, hadn't had a casualty for 18 months and allow these people to have additional time to do this horrible thing, according to the taliban, and that's go school and get used to a culture where there might be a little bit of

hope. this is -- you also told me, too is important. it still can be saved. if you combine with the militias, 912,500 elite forces still left with the sitting government, you can still taliban taliban like 2001, correct? >> the taliban are out in the open now, they are exposed. in 2001 we have less than 100 special forces embedded with them but they're critical for calling in american air power. right now biden unexplainablably has given them one bomber per night. that's like throwing a band-aid at sucking chest wound. if we put serious american air power with a very small group on the ground, we could take the taliban down within weeks. brian: i think about all of you guys that suffered so much and gave so much to watch it thrown in the street because someone didn't take the time to listen to his aides and for those people who say well, donald trump put the plan in place,

when has joe biden ever been shy about tearing up a donald trump plan? he does it every day 24 hours a day. michael, hopefully someone sane is listening to you and we try to save these people. thanks, michael. >> thanks, brian. brian: coming up straight ahead, two weeks notice. new york governor andrew cuomo is leaving office. but will he be held accountable for the state's nursing home crisis? janice dean, ron kim, the assemblyman from new york city next. ♪ ♪

would seek the truth for him and for others in that moment what andrew cuomo tried to get me to lie and to cover up his lies, that was the moment he crossed from being a regular bully in a playground to an abusive man who is willing to abuse his power to get what he wants. ainsley: janice what did you make of the president saying yesterday he is not a bad man. his policies. steve: did a hell of a job. janice: i thought that videotape was last year praising him when he was going to be his attorney general. i think joe biden needs to learn the facts about what this governor has done. not only the nursing homes and shower. sexual assault and harassment. he gives to give covid tests to his buddies and friends while nursing homes could not get them. he used state resource was write

his book and all sorts of other corruption and i think criminal acts that hopefully will be prosecuted so i was very disappointed in joe biden yesterday. ainsley: you both have said he tried to intimidate you guys. janice, tell your story about that and then tell your story. ainsley: not like assemblyman kim i heard from minions she is not reliable source on anything except the weather. i heard from a family friend of theirs early on who told me, listen, you have a noble cause here but please watch your back. listen, social media is no fun either. people saying weather lady you don't know what you are talking about. ron and i had a purpose. we were affected personally that ramped our cause up quite a bit. ainsley: assemblyman? >> janice has been persistent through this fight. she has been psychologically impacted and her family for months. so i applaud her.

the fight is not over. and i will continue to partner with her to get to the accountability that we deserve in terms of intimidation yes, my family felt threatened by the governor. when i got that call and multiple calls from him directly my wife couldn't sleep for hours. my family were traumatized by that experience. but we came together as a family. we got support from people like janice who was there from the beginning, to give us the strength to push back and demand justice from this governor. steve: indeed. speaking of justice, ron. he is still on the hook. you know, there are still criminal investigations into the nursing home scandal, into whether or not state resources were used to help write his book and so, you know, he is not out of the woods. there is still a long way for him to go. and the legislature could vote

to impeach him. >> that's correct. we should absolutely do. so we spent the resources time and money to get this far in the impeachment investigation. so let's finish the job. let's get it done and efficient expeditious way to get to the truth. as for his criminal act, his biggest criminal act in my opinion is committing public fraud. he suppressed. he ordered his feel suppress life and death data at the peak of the pandemic. information we could have used to legislate and save people's lives he took that away from us because he was chasing down a $5.1 million book deal. that is criminal. brian: is he going to blame will der rosa who was on that phone call and claim he never knew anything about it is he planning a comeback already. that's why his lawyer was on first and tried to explain himself rather than simply resign. janice, i don't think this guy is done, do you? janice: i think he is done.

i have to believe we are on the side of the angels, ron kim and i and our families. he's done. brian: ron, do you think he thinks he is done. >> i believe he is politically con but knowing him he is probably thinking of some sort of a comeback plan and it's up to us to hold him accountable and expose the truth so he -- there is no way for him to come back into the public space. especially in he gets imimpeached. janice: i love you ron i love your family thank you. >> i love you too, janice. ainsley: god bless you both. brian: get through 1 more days of him. ainsley: 6:50 on the east coast. coming up tucker carlson waking up early and joining us live this morning. brian: he looks wide awake there. steve: folks in virginia county fighting back against critical race theory in the classroom. one father who was arrested for refusing to stay quiet is going to join us live. you'll hear from him coming up

past 18 months destroy a wonderful school system. >> stop why you still can. save our children. do the right thing. >> i quit being a cog in a machine that tells me to push highly politicized agendas on our most vulnerable constituents, the children. >> revolution 250 years ago to rid ourselves of this type of tyranny. that last parent john tigus was arrested at last month's meeting you may remember that we showed you the video. good morning, john. >> good morning, ainsley. great to be here. >> you were not allowed to go to last night's meeting, right? >> that's correct. although as you said i was able to go virtually. have to figure how to shut that down next time. ainsley: what happened to you in june. >> we were there with about 1,000 other parents. and everyone was giving their testimony. and then when senator dick black gave such a rousing testimony that people applauded, that was

considered grounds to end the meeting. and whether the meeting ended nobody knew whether a to do. i happened to be front and center. told everybody, folks, we are going to continue to give our testimony regardless of whether the school board is here. and we did that in a very peaceful. >> we have orderly manner and then the superintendent declared that an illegal assembly. and at that point the sheriff as you are seeing there, started rounding everybody up and asking them to leave or told them they get a trespassing order. i told them i was staying until everyone had a chance to speak and they arrested me. we are going to go trial. ainsley: this is a school board meeting. you have had six children go through the school system there. what is going on in loudoun county. what happened at last night's meeting? what's everyone discussing or upset about. >> first up, none of my children have gone through the public school system. i would never allow that because it's gone from bad to worse. ainsley: you live in loudoun county. >> i live in loudoun county and i deal with the outcome of the

public school system as an employer. and beyond that i deal with the fact that they are representing totalitarianism at the lowest level now. and it's got to stop. so that's why we have gotten involved. i have worked for 20 years consultant for years. did i everything i could to get away from government it's in my face whether it's covid or now four schools. we have to make a stand and stop retreating. that's what we are doing as parents. ainsley: what policies do you adisagree with that they are trying to teach. >> there is a ton. first off unsafe environment for kids at its most basic level. we have a school board member who on tape at the last meeting said it wasn't her responsibility to protect children. that's how bad it is. you have a legislature here in virginia who passed hb 257 owhich says that you as a principal don't have to actually

notify the police if you have an event that's a terrible crime. it's up to them. and, unfortunately, it's resulting in some serious abuse issues already in the schools that are going unreported. ainsley: is there anyone on the school board that agrees with you? >> you know, they voted unanimously last time to adjourn. i don't get the feeling there is anyone there that is willing to have the courage to stand up against this agenda. so we are going after all of them right now. >> what did you make of the teacher who resigned? >> oh my goodness. she is courageous. and courage, brings more courage. and so that's what we're looking for. and folks like laura and others, we hope they will continue to stand up right and true and make the sacrifices because that's what it's going to take. we are in a are with a. there is going to be some sacrifices. freedom isn't free.

to kevin costner and says is this heaven and kevin costner says no, it's iowa. steve: if you build it, they will come he built the field of dreams. brian: if you could pick anybody in the past to walk through the corn stawrks and add to your team would it be lou gehrig babe ruth, hank aaron who would you like it see walk through those cornstalks? has to have a baseball background. ainsley: i pick babe ruth. steve: babe ruth and ty cobb. brian: hey joel did baseball ruth walk out? steve: it was the picture of the year. ainsley: i went to built more plantation two years ago and ty cobb's grandson comes up and says i watch "fox & friends" all the time. the nightest man. brian: kevin costner has been on our show. ainsley: yes he was and i will

never forget that. brian: i object just approved will cain's travel and tomorrow he is going to cover this. steve: i realized this yesterday when bernie sanders rented out the field of dreams it was as a campaign event what would have made it really special is if kevin costner would have come and endorsed him. kevin costner was in iowa endorsing pete buttigieg. ainsley: that's right. we should have our fox christmas party there if you rent it out. steve: that would be fun. ainsley: we will take your plane, brian. brian: if you don't mind. i have an extra. ainsley: straight to a fox news alert. democrats $.5 trillion budget blueprint and an overnight vote-o-rama. >> packed with funding for liberal agenda items including climate change and free community cleaning. think of bernie sanders and his wish list. steve: all right. speaking of field of dreams. jacqui heinrich joins us now from the white house down the street from the capitol to break it all down. okay. so, what is this thing, jackie?

>> oh, well, it's definitely everything that president biden wants at this stage anyway. the vote came just before 4:00 in the morning. senate democrats voted along party lines to advance this blueprint of the reconciliation package. instructions go to the senate committees to draft that fuller package that includes healthcare, climate change, paid for by taxing corporations and the rich. now. so biggest highlights include 726 billion for universal pre-k for 3 and 4-year-olds. free community college. a goal of 80% clean energy by 2030 and also funds to advance lawful permanent status for qualified immigrants. now, it does face very long uphill battle from here. moderates and progressives agree on the size and scope of the package. it's going to be a very drawn out process with moderates questioning the price tag. also the factor of the bipartisan infrastructure

package that cleared the senate yesterday. it could now be heading straight to the house for approval. but speaker pelosi is holding on to it under demands from progressives that the bipartisan deal not passed without that social spending passing at the same time. now, republicans who voted to approve that bipartisan infrastructure deal see this as a part of their strategy. >> good for jobs. good for quality of life. good for the economy. as one of my colleagues said, what's not to like. good policy is good politics. and this is excellent policy. and so if pelosi wants to stand in the way for political reasons, that's going to be terrible politics for her. >> the white house and when does the white house start to pressure pelosi to take up this bipartisanship infrastructure bill as a stand alone bill in the house where it could get done now rather than waiting for months. the republicans by the way who voted to approve this bipartisanship deal part of their strategy is to strip out

of that bipartisanship infrastructure hard infrastructure stuff pieces that would otherwise be in this social spending reconciliation package. they think that will make it tougher for democrats to get everything that they want because if you have got no bipartisanship vehicle for the hard infrastructure to get through, then they have got sort of a bigger area to stuff more into this reconciliation package. that's why you saw this pass with so much republican support yesterday. the bipartisanship infrastructure. the social spending this is just the beginning. months long process. back to you guys. steve: it will be civil war. brian: summer early august 23rd. the thank you, jacqui. steve: jacqui just mentioned moderate democrats hard for the senate schumer to keep them in line because people like kyrsten sinema said i cannot support a $3.5 trillion bill. that's way too big. at the other end of the spectrum super progressives say not enough in here. we wanted a lot more. and chuck schumer and company in

negotiating with the republicans gave away too much. so, moderates unhappy. and the super progressives unhappy are hold them all together. ainsley: you have $1 trillion package first track that's the one that's bipartisan. bridges and roads. brian: just in the senate. ainsley: then 3.5 trillion that's also part of the infrastructure that focuses on climate change and all that kind of thing that republicans are not supporting because it's so expensive, they say, and they don't want to spend money. tax dollars on these progressive ideas. steve: it's not infrastructure. ainsley: exactly. mitch mcconnell said make no mistake this reckless taxing and spending spree is like nothing we have ever seen before. increase taxes on the wealthy and corporations focus on climate change and healthcare and education. if you combine both of these tracks that's 4.5 trillion. we spent in adjusted today dollars 4 trillion on world war ii. this is more than it cost us to go to war. brian: this isn't a crisis. it isn't 2008 where the bottom

fell out of the economy and people are trying to figure out how to sustain it isn't the beginning of the pandemic when the entire economy shut down. look at country spending incredible amount of money in the middle of page that china caused. now on the back of that the unemployment rate is in the mid 5s. the g.d.p. grew at staggering rate. you can't take a bow president biden on one hand and say it's an emergency to restructure the country on the other. who is going to be the republican that comes in next and says i'm going to get rid of pre-k. i'm going to get rid of elder. i'm going to get rid of free lunches or free junior college? it's politically toxic to do stuff like that. take it away once it's given. that's the hope. bernie sanders was a back venture that couldn't comb his hair that people ignored in the lunchroom. now is he driving the agenda for the country. nobody elected him president even the democrats rejected it but somehow joe biden took his agenda and thinks we want it.

we don't the condition tri can't afford it. steve: unlocks rec son critical reconciliation.it will come dowe parliamentarian does this immigration thing actually belong in a bill about the budget? it's all got to be about the budget. so with all that stuff, does it fit in there? this particular parliamentarian last time around there was this argument did, to her credit say, you know what? you, democrats, cannot pass $15 per hour for the minimum wage in this particular vessel, this document. and so she said you got to take it out. and then they went ahead without it they really wanted it. how much is she going to fish out of this? stay tuned, it's going to be a fight. brian: she took out the bridge in buffalo. she took out a project that nancy pelosi wanted, too. of but there will be a massive pressure on her and by the way, the maskless dancer tlaib, she

says she is not voting on this unless 3.5 trillion. they can't lose more than four or five votes. then you have the problem solvers caucus who pretends to be somewhat moderate. a tougher fight that's going to last a long time. the bottom line is it is so in your face to negotiate something for weeks, months and then everything you negotiated out to be put over here the same day you cut the deal and agreed on this. they say all that stuff you negotiated out and more, we are jamming it down your throat. we are jamming it down your throvment we are not going to ask you for your vote. ainsley: goes to the house. come back on august recess to hear this and discuss and argue this yesterday was a big news day in the middle of the day all our phones were blowing up because we got fox news alerts that governor cuomo resigned. listen. >> in a highly political matter like this, there are many agendas. and there are many motivations

at play. if anyone thought otherwise, they would be naive. government needs to perform. it is a matter of life and death, government operations. are distractions the government should be doing. the best way i can help now is if i step aside and, therefore, that's what i will do. because i work for you and doing the right thing is doing the right thing for you. brian: let's be honest -- steve: the poll said that new yorkers were not for him. brian: he had no options. he is still in trouble, legal trouble and otherwise. when they -- when you realize in new york the minute you start impeachment hearings he steps out. he knew he was never going to step back and he would have no control of the microphone again. that was his time to set, i

believe, his -- the groundwork for a comeback. he little by little took on each and every one of his accusers through his lawyer and then some directly. then when we found out the truth in 150 plus page report about everything he was doing against all his so-called accusers to blow them up and make them trump supporters. they also get the sense that he wanted to blow up the people in his own party. he called out chuck schumer. he had his lawyer say even chuck schumer talks to his people the same way i imagine. and then he schedules his presser at the same time joe biden wanted to take a bow of arguably his greatest legal accomplishment. so this is why he has no friends. in his own party he has taken shots at a mayor miss own party and president. i guess he feels he turned on him. ainsley: he apologized for being incentive. he said he defended himself. he didn't appreciate or understand the generational cultural shift. he liked to kiss and hugs e

called women honey and sweetheart. is he out in 13 more days. going to stay in two more weeks. he doesn't have a house. moving out of governor's mansion and a friend said he has no idea where he is going to go and she or he says they think he had will take a big vacation. he faces challenge charges. the assembly could still impeach him. the fbi in brooklyn's attorney's office still investigating him for the nursing home abuse. steve: the writing was on the wall. if he didn't quit he was going to be impeached. even democrats were against him and the public opinion polls were gigantic against him. this is not even about the nursing home scandal where 15,000 new yorkers died in the covid restrictions and guidelines where he essentially sent people who had covid back into the nursing home. that still has not been adjudicated. the fbi is still looking into it. and that is one of the reasons why janice dean and assemblyman ron kim have been so vocal about

how cuomo had to go. both of them lost loved ones. mr. kim lost his uncle. janice dean lost her in-laws. here they're half an hour ago on this program talking about watching cuomo go. >> not only the nursing homes. not only sexual assault, shower. , he abused his power to give covid family tests to his buddies, his family and friends while nursing homes could not get them. all sorts of other corruption and i think criminal acts u.s. army captain nurse willing home in that moment when drew, tried to get me to law, that is the moment he crossed from being a regular bully in a playground to an abusive man who is willing to abuse his power to get what he wants. brian: i love what the "new york post" editorial board said about

his insulting exit. he said it's not me. it's you. his former adviser trashed his exit, this woman susan%io closed gray is way of conducting yourself as you walked out the door. it really was. it was because he never wanted to leave. he had no options. also a report that his brother told him over the weekend tough resign you have no choice. steve: now it sounds like they are trying to take cuomo's name off the bridge. they named this new $5 billion bridge that used to be the cuomo bridge scandal. let's just spray paint over that part. ainsley: what a fall from grace, right? steve: no kidding. ainsley: such a big family here in new york. steve: talk about a story we have been talking about close to a month that is those run away texas democrats. they did not want to take a vote in the texas assembly. so what do they do? they chartered that couple jets

flew to d.c. without a mask and a bunch of them got covid. this trip has been a disaster. now they have been on the lamb for a while they say life on the run not easy. challenging for our members leaving behind families and jobs and businesses a young children in many cases. that was hard about it. it was easy in the sense that this was the only option we had. >> we were quite literally forced to move and leave the state of texas. >> what do you do to a sleigh if you don't do nothing but arrest them when they flee? >> every single one of us in this delegation has a day job. we have to struggle. steve: right. exactly. brian: should have thought about that. steve: famously the governor of texas said you know what? i'm going to arrest them and bring them back. in the last week or so they sued the state of texas, the democrat did, and said you can't arrest us when we come back, and they got a judge to say you are right you cannot arrest them.

the supreme court of texas reversed that and now overnight apparently the house voted 82-12 in texas to issue arrest warrants which will be delivered to the sergeant of arms in texas this morning. brian: i have a suggestion. how about this? no arrest, show up to work. there is another session still in session. vote. what happens. steve: they have to arrest them. brian: when you are in the minority, it's frustrating. ask any republican in the house, it's frustrating but you have to watch legislation sometimes you disagree with get passed. ainsley: some of the democrat said this is chris turner he said fully within our right as legislators to break quorum to protect our constituents then vicky goodwin i question whether dps or anyone can break down my door and come and put me in shackles and drag me there. i feel certain i can stay in my home and off the house floor. brian: make them martyrs and then they have lost the public

sentiment. never got a meeting with the president. one was caught or two were caught over in spain. ainsley: in portugal. brian: near spain according to the maps and globe i checked right before i came out. which is much smaller portugal. part of the land there so now they have been embarrassed. just get what you want and move. don't make them martyrs. steve: they are not going to get what they want because they want their bill, the bill in texas to fail. and it's going to pass. ainsley: they are just never coming home? don't they have kid and obligations? steve: here's the thing, they are four short of a quorum, that's why they have issued these arrest warrants because that way they can bring four of them in and they can officially -- this could happen later today. brian: in cuffs? optics? it will be terrible. ainsley: just go back to work. elections have consequences there are more republicans in texas in the legislature. brian: we live in a democratic state where they attack every day. steve: brian, don't you think if

a democrat state voted to arrest a bunch of republicans, don't you think they would probably arrest them? brian: i don't know. maybe but it doesn't make it right. ainsley: holding up all these other votes. they only meet every other year in texas. steve: they only meet for -- ainsley: not just voting reform to vote on. hurting so many constituents there waiting on bills to be passed that affect their lives. steve: that is why the governor, greg abbott, on saturday started another special session. so, even when they come back, even after regardless if they are arrested or whatever, they are going to have to vote on that stuff that they just thought it. brian: meanwhile so much to do in texas right now with the variant raging right now in that state and across the country. ainsley: let's hand it over to jillian who has headlines for us. jillian: begin your headlines with a story out of chicago. a 14-year-old boy is charged with a shooting left a teenage boy dead and another injured in chicago. police say 17-year-old turner and another 16-year-old were in

office. also running for senate mark brnovich joins us now. >> thank you, ainsley for having me on this morning. ainsley: what are you seeing to the point you wrote that scathing letter. >> what we are seeing in arizona is going to affect the entire country. seen record amount of fentanyl coming into this country. record amount of people illegally crossing our southern border. we know there is a recordment of a got-aways. and this is not only a seasonal problem. it's a generational problem, ainsley. and it's -- the biden administration essentially subsidizing and incentivizing people to come here. shame on secretary mayorkas. since he has been the secretary of homeland security, a million people. a million people have illegally crossed our southern border just this year in the last six months. that's like the entire population of joe biden's home state of delaware in less than year. this is having a devastating impact on our community, ainsley. ainsley: why do you think is he okay with the border being open? why do you think is he okay with

ignoring the problem and not going down there to see for himself? >> i think what we teach our kids you can't ignore a problem and hope it goes away. that's part of it secondly, i think it's obviously clear that joe biden has been hijacked by the far left of the democratic party that wants to radically alter this country. so, let's make no mistake about it. of what is happening right now is not an accident. it's intentional as to why joe biden is doing it, he might not even know. the bottom line is, this ainsley. cartel kelly and joe biden's allies in the that the have enabled and empowered the cartels and we are going to continue to see more violence in our neighborhoods. we are going to continue to see the spread of covid because of these numbers and people coming covid positive and our communities are being polluted by the increased in the amount of drugs. the fact that secretary mayorkas is going to the border i think the cartels are happy because it's not every day they get to meet their hero. ainsley: you hear about fentanyl and crime covid, many of them

aren't being tested. nbc is reporting almost 20% of the individuals that are let out by ice into our country have covid. mark levin said that he thinks that the borders are open and biden is ignoring it because he wants texas and arizona to go blue. what happens to our country if that happens? >> this really isn't about politics. i'm a first generation american. but the reason why some people want to come here is because we have the rule of law. you cannot have chaos. you cannot have disorder. you can't have an administration systematically not willing to enforce the laws. that's why i have three lawsuits right now pending against biden administration and their failed border policy. so this is this is intentional and radically change this country. it's an attempt to radically change this country. this is all part of the far left's push to make this country socialist or even communist. it's all about concentration of power in d.c.

that starts with having a bunch of people come here the first thing they do is break the law and government benefits and then they get free healthcare, free subsidized housing. think about this, ainsley. it is the height of absurdity that you have people that have crossed the border illegally as you mentioned 20% positive rate. they are getting free flights anywhere they want in the country and, yet, here in other parts of the country our kids can't even go to school. we can't even go to the local restaurant. so they are shutting down the economy and then letting everyone else get free flights all over this country. it's fundamentally unfair to american taxpayers. ainsley: mark brnovich attorney general of arizona running for kelly's senate seat. thanks for coming on. ainsley: tucker carlson is going to join us live. clay travis confronts his children's school over mask mandate. >> don't let your kids. >> time. >> wear masks.

♪ ♪ jillian: good morning, welcome back. it is time now for news by the numbers. today's news by the numbers is supplied by ryder. first, $1,000 that's how much florida governor ron desantis gave to first responders of the surfside copped dough collapse. the governor says the bonus checks are just a small token of appreciation for their efforts. next, 200 feet high. an extra tall flag pole becomes the center of a lawsuit. a business owner is suing a kentucky county to keep it up after officials argued the polls complying with zoning laws. the businessman says invested more than $150,000 at the flag pole at his storage facility. and finally $6.7 billion, that's how much tesla and spacex ceo elon musk were paid last year making him the highest paid ceo in the u.s. steve? steve: is he doing okay.

jillian, thank you. disgraced new york governor andrew cuomo gave his two weeks in the yesterday amid accusations of sexual harassment which he still denies. >> the report said i sexually harassed 11 women. that was the headline people saw and heard and reacted to. the reaction was outrage; however, it was also false. i have never crossed the line with anyone. plus, i didn't realize the extent to which the line has been redrawn. steve: well, our next guest says resignation alone is not accountability. new york republican congresswoman nicole malliotakis joins us right now. good morning, congresswoman. >> good morning. steve: you say that even though he has quit the assembly has to keep going because there are so many things that need to be investigated and litigated.

>> well, the new york constitution still allows for the assembly to move forward with impeachment that would prevent the governor from running again in the future. but, also, i believe that there still need to be accountability. not just for the women but for the 15,000 families that lost loved ones in nursing homes. i originally had called for the governor to resign in february, specifically, because the way the governor mishandled the nursing homes even when their alternative he placed covid positive patients in those homes that led to a sharp increase in deaths. so i believe that all those records need to continue to be looked at they need it be examined and investigation senate judiciary committee and they should move forward depending on what they find there. but, as you know, there are also sheriffs and district attorneys that are looking at criminal behavior, perhaps, by the governor that all needs to continue. resignation alone does not equal accountability. we owe it to the people of new

york to ensure that this governor is held accountable and that all those documents are made transparent. steve: you are right. he's not off the hook. he still has legal liability for things that he did while in office. so, we do know the fbi is looking into it and also a number of district attorneys as well. i got to ask you about the woman, the lieutenant governor kathy hochul who is going to take over. she has a tall order. i mean, the state is messed up. we are coming out of this pandemic. crime is on the rise. there are a lot of things that need to be addressed and addressed immediately. >> that's absolutely correct. and she is coming at a very difficult time. i don't know if kathy hochul intends to run for re-election or run for a full term next year. she is more moderate than the governor. i think this is an opportunity for her to correct some of the mistakes. particularly she is not going to play for that democratic nomination. you know, there are a lot of things wrong in new york that

have driven people out in droves taxation has gone up. spending in the state has gone up. yet qualities of life has deteriorated. when you look at the bail law which is one of the things i have fought to get fixed in this state, there is a real opportunity here to protect new yorkers by repealing that bail law at least repealing most of it to ensure public safety. plus, the economic situation that we're in right now. the governor had issued a lot of arbitrary mandates and restrictions and it hurt us small businesses. so there is a lot that is going to be on our plate. i'm arepublican she is a democr. i'm looking forward to work with her to restore sanity in new york. it's a tall order as you say. certainly i think he is capable of at least doing better than the governor has in terms of standing up against the radical left. steve: sure, it's hard not to wonder what his father would think about what happened to his son in the family business, which, you know, his son's career is now in tatters. >> yeah,like, it's obviously a

sad and tragic situation. i think new yorkers wouldn't want to see him go out this way. i think in general i expect him to be voted out next year. i did say there was a chance whether it be by resignation, prosecution, or impeachment on the ballot box, it was his time was dwindling in office. he also was outdoing his welcome considering running for a fourth term. as you remember governor george pataki defeated his father when he tried to run for a fourth term. i think the majority of new yorkers made very clear they didn't want him running for re-election. that's when he lost the faith of the majority of the state legislature. the president of the united states. the state democratic chairman. he knew that his career was over. so, unfortunately, we still need justice for those families. and i'm going to keep fighting for that i hope the senate judiciary committee stays strong and pursues this investigation not end. steve: thank you for joining us today. >> thank you. steve: all right. coming up, having worn the uniform of our nation in the military and in the olympics,

a half hours worth of public comment because they were talking about a measure to expand transgender students' rights. at the end they decided do you know what? let's put that off until wednesday. nonetheless, it was contentious. 150 people signed up to speak. everybody was going to get two minutes to speak. not everybody showed up. but there was plenty to talk about. >> there was this one lady, her name is laura morris she is a teacher in the county. she says she refuses to push their highly politicized agendas and we didn't expect what happened next. watch this. >> within the last year, i was told in one of my so-called equity trainings that white christian able-bodied females currently have the power in our schools. and that, quote: this has to change. clearly, you have made your point. you if no longer value me or many other teachers you have employed in this county. you shut the doors to the public as well as the emails sent by the superintendent last year

reminding me that dissenting opinion is not allowed even to be spoken in my personal life. going so far as to send a form to my colleagues and i encouraging us to fill it out. so since my contract outlines the power that you have over my employment in loudoun county public schools, i thought it necessary to resign in front of you. i quit. i quit your policies. i quit your trainings. and i quit being a cog in a machine that tells me to push highly politicized agendas on our most vulnerable constituents, the children. ainsley: it's amazing even if you don't agree with me you can't have a dissenting opinion, even if your personal life, you can't talk about it with your friends, if we find out did you then fill out the form and snitch on someone who is talking about this in a disseptemberring way. trying to silence people. brian: yeah. i think also the rest of the families met in somebody's backyard and had their own meeting they had a chance to talk to each other and underphi. they messed with the wrong family with ian prior. he has a bulldog way about him.

voted to advance that $3.5 trillion social spending package that includes a lot, pretty much all of what president biden called for including climate change money, free community college, expanded medicaid, money to advance immigration initiatives, all paid for by raising taxes on corporations and the rich. now, this , as we just have seen , is not even close to a done deal. moderate democrats including joe manchin this morning you also heard wispers of a few others are raising the alarm about the size and scope of this package. in the meantime, those moderate democrats are also pushing for a separate vote, a standalone vote to happen in the house on the bipartisan hard infrastructure package that also cleared senate yesterday. that got a final vote as opposed to this sort of soft vote that we saw with the reconciliation package, that final vote on hard infrastructure now heads over to the house, where nancy pelosi could take it up if she wants to it consists of more than

$1 trillion for roads bridges and broadband, cleared senate with the help by the way of 19 senate republicans. you might have seen mitch mcconnell vote for that yesterday and ask yourself if you're seeing pigs fly but there is a strategy here on why the gop helped pass that through listen. >> well the best logic is that if you pass this , it makes it less likely to pass that. one of my democratic colleagues says you know? infrastructure is the dessert and that $3.5 trillion tax and spending extravagant that is the spinache. by the way somebody who agrees with that is mitch mcconnell. mitch mcconnell thinks this makes it less likely to pass the 3.5 trillion. reporter: so what happens next is up to speaker pelosi. she could take up the bipartisan hard infrastructure bill but progressives like congresswoman omar saying they aren't going to vote for it unless the 3.5 trillion social spending comes right along with it so now we're starting to see some moderate democrats say

fine, we won't vote for the social spending if you don't take up the bipartisan hard infrastructure and by the way, you need every democrat to agree on the social spending to get through because they aren't getting any republican support. at some point the white house is going to have to step in, that might have a little something to do with why president biden cut his vacation short, guys. back to you. brian: that's kind of interesting because joe manchin says he's got serious concerns about this. he also says the economy is not, we're not in a great recession of the great depression, there's danger of it overheating so there is a sober mind among democrats, hopefully there's more than one. thanks, jackie. >> thank you. steve: and so what that means, and there was so much information in that. that means, you know, the house will pass anything, because it's run by democrats. they've got the majority; however, the senate, they cannot lose one democrat so if they lose krysten sinema, which we told you an hour ago, she says 3.5 trillion too much and joe manchin says it's too much. they are down two.

this will not pass if they hold, but what that means now is they will negotiate it down. ainsley: uh-huh. steve: it starts at 3.5 trillion where does it end up? ainsley: as soon as that vote went through yesterday on infrastructure, which would have been a positive moment for joe biden, andrew cuomo resigned and here is a clip of what he said yesterday. >> in a highly political matter like this , there are many agendas and there are many motivations at play. if anyone thought otherwise, they be naive. government needs to perform. it is a matter of life and death government operations, and wasting energy on distractions is the last thing that state government should be doing. the best way i can help now is if i step aside and therefore, that's what i'll do because i

work for you and doing the right thing is doing the right thing for you. brian: so in 14 days he'll do the right thing, for you. i wish he would slow down a little bit when he said that. he's still facing criminal investigations in manhattan, albany and westchester at least one of his accusers mentioned and defamed again yesterday, lindsay boylan says she tends to sue him for that and other things, and other critics still wanted to see him impeached i don't see that actually happening unless of course they want to prevent him from running i think his lawyer going first, talking about the accusers, how they will basically wrong, and how unfair that report was by the democratic attorney general, her going first and then him coming out talking about generational differences. that's his attempt to save his career. he thinks he's going to see another day. one of the people that told him to resign reportedly was his brother chris, as you have no options, he really had no

options. the timing, fascinating, because he's hated by democrats. chuck schumer told him he should quit so he mentioned chuck schumer through his lawyer, and he mentioned chuck schumer again and he stepped on joe biden's limelight as you mentioned, ainsley because joe biden wanted to take a bounce and look what i did with the other party and instead everyone was looking at cuomo. ainsley: he said he was moving out of the mansion in two weeks. he doesn't have a home of his own, a friend said he has no place to go, he faces criminal charges for those 11 allegations as you were mentioning, brian but he also faces charges, the fbi and brooklyn u.s. attorney' office there at least investigating his handling of the nursing homes. steve: that's rightnd a in the nursing homes, remember over a year ago, he ordered people who tested positively for covid who were in the hospital to go back to their nursing home. ultimately 15,000 new yorkers died in those nursing homes, including janice dean, our

weather machine's in laws and ron kim's uncle. we had them both on this first hour of fox & friends to talk about the resignation of mr. cuomo and this is what they had to say. >> it's not only the nursing homes, it's not only sexual assault, sexual harassment and he accused his power to give covid family tests to his buddies, his family and his friends while nursing homes could not get them. all sorts of other corruption and i think criminal acts that hopefully will be prosecuted. >> i lost my uncle, a u.s. army captain, in a nursing home and in that moment when andrew cuomo tried to get me to lie and to cover up his lies, that was the moment he crossed from being a regular bully in a playground to an abusive man whose willing to abuse his power to get what he wants. steve: well the writing was on the wall if he did not quit, he would have been kicked out by

the legislature. let's bring in from kicked o utility to outkick, let's bring in clay travis the founder. clay, good morning to you. ainsley: good morning. >> good morning to you guys appreciate you having me. steve: you bet, so what do you think of the lead story, andrew cuomo saw the writing on the wall and said got to go for all of you i'm quitting for all of you because i work for all of you. >> look, i think this is about trying to preserve andrew cuomo 's electoral ability to get another office in the future this is what i said on my radio show yesterday, i just heard brian talking aunt it a little bit as well. it wouldn't stun me, guys, if he tries to run for the new york governorship in 2022 in the democratic primary, because if you look at the most recent polling, he's still above everybody else. if he goes out, he says he tried to save and preserve the institution of the governor ship, but he wants to throw himself back on the voters of new york. the only way he could preserve

any viability as a politician by resigning as opposes to impeaching, i think he still believes that he could be re-elected as governor in 20 t2 even after all of this it would not stun me at all if he's running by next year. ainsley: really but what about the women he needs women to vote and 70% of new york registered voters said he should go. >> yeah it's amazing how quickly people's opinions can change. that's got to be what he's hoping on if he drops out of the public eye for a few months, look almost every politician only cares about one thing, finding a way to get re-elected or to continue to be in power, and this is the only way, i think, andrew cuomo could in any way preserve his ability going forward. if he gets impeached this drags on for months he has no hope in 2022 and remember the favorite in many circles be the new york attorney general law enforcement

leticia james so maybe he wants an opportunity to make his case even more to the public in new york, and to go head-to-head with that attorney general, and argue that the reason she wanted to remove him was because she wanted his job. i'm not 100% sure, no one knows what's going to happen going forward but i'd be stunned if this is the last time we ever see andrew cuomo run for a political office. brian: hillary clinton thinking about running, alveda sharpton, and the only other thing bad about cuomo is he was a bad governor. he's got a terrible track record who al pacino thought was cool, all celebrities kind of like him but he's a terrible governor. >> i don't think there's any doubt. joe biden yesterday tried to pretend that 10.5 years was a success. when you go out this way, as you guys said, thousands and thousands of people dead in nursing homes because of your failure and also, all of this sexual harassment i think you could make a strong argument that not only is andrew cuomo a

bad governor, he maybe a criminal governor and also the worst elected official of the 21st century it's impossible for anyone, i believe, to have done a worse job contrary to what joe biden said when he tried to phrase the overall tenure of andrew cuomo. steve: clay let's talk a little bit about it's back-to-school week. by the end of the week 36% of america's kids will be back in school. we've been talking about how there are mask mandates all across the country. you felt so strongly about it. we've got a clip of you at your school board meeting, and you made it very clear where the travis family stands. let's watch this. >> don't let your kids wear masks. >> [applause] steve: i heard somebody say time , so you've got it out right in time. >> look, the most important job i've got and i know you guys know this too is dad, mom, you know, your parenting jobs are the most important and i went as a parent. i've got two kids in public

school here in the nashville area, and out of nowhere, after school started back, we've been to three days. they suddenly have implemented now a mask mandate for kids kindergarten to fifth grade. i've got a first grader and fifth grader and they told me dad, we're sick of wearing masks , we did it all last year, we were fortunate they were in- person. there's no statistical data out there at all to support that masks make any of our kids safer and this is just madness and i believe that parents everywhere need to go to the very root of the democracy here, show up at your school board meetings. we had over a thousand people show up. the vast majority of them protesting the school board's decisions to implement masks for kids, and i think people all over the country need to get involved and active in their kid's return to school, and try to fight against this mask mandate sweeping the country. brian: clay you really think parents should make decisions for their kids i can't believe that. >> [laughter] it's a wild idea, brian.

brian: the governor of texas and florida are considered the worst people on the planet because they want to empower parents. how do we get so twisted on this >> look if you feel that your kids need to be in a mask, you have the right as a parent to send them in a mask, let parents make the choice. i give credit to texas and governors of texas and florida. we need more governors standing up for parent choice. ainsley: i agree and when you go pick-up your kids how old are your kids? >> i've got like i said a first grader whose 6 and i have a 10- year-old and also a 13-year-old. ainsley: the six-year-old you go pick them up from school sometimes the mask is underneath their nose and they aren't even wearing it properly. >> oh, of course. people, adults don't wear may mask properly can you imagine everybody whose ever had a kid they are petri dishes the idea they are wearing their mask properly or impacting in anyway covid it's pure madness. steve: dr. fauci be horrified. you are the founder of outkick.

so what's clicking today on out kick? >> yeah, we're going to be all about, well one i love you guys are talking about this game that's going to be going on in iowa in the corn field that's going to be going on with the top 25 out for college football, we're going to have a lot of fun with your show fun things coming up with college football season can't wait for that so we'll be chasing that as well as the ridiculous, did you guys see the dinger controversy the colorado rockies mascot that espn tried to turn into the latest racially divisive sports story we're teaming off on all of that i'd encourage people to check out outkick if they're sports fans. ainsley: what college football teams are going to be the best this year? >> it's going to be alabama, clemson, ohio state, oklahoma, but some excitement out there, by the way. iowa state urging, north carolina, cincinnati, those are top 10 teams, nontraditional top 10 teams, for people out there to be getting excited about as we move closer to kickoff

about 23 days from now. brian: and who could ever offer the best marketing deal to their high school prospect. cool. everything has changed. >> no doubt. you got kids leaving high school early, ohio state top quarterback came out with an endorsement video it's a brave new world indeed. steve: all right clay, thank you very much for joining us. ainsley: thank you, clay. >> thanks a lot. ainsley: 8:17. the show is after yours so you all aren't competitors. brian: that be terrible. ainsley: 8:17 on the east coast. a former olympian enters the race to flip a colorado senate seat red. meet the man bringing more than a decade of service to the job. brian: a man who used to sit on a couch a lot like this a sended to the 8:00 slot and he will join us on on the border crisis individual freedoms and talk about the long slide, his new book.

good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. stephanopoulos the republicans only need one. you think you could be the one. >> we believe that this is the race to watch this year, and it's really important. you talk about that $3.5 trillion package that the democrats ran through a party line vote. michael bennett votes party line with the democrats. we've got to stop tax steve: you know, you've been involved in teamwork for so long and when you look in on what's going on in washington, there's not a lot of teamwork going on. why do you want to get involved? >> well, i think we need more common sense conservative leadership, especially coming from my state. colorado doesn't like single party control whether it's in denver or washington d.c., and we're seeing democrats just railroad legislation through. steve: here is the thing about michael bennett, who you are challenging. and by the way there are three other, i think, it's three other republicans who have signaled that they would like to run for senate as well, eric holland , julie henry and

peter yu, but michael bennett, whose got the job right now, the senate candidate, guys got the job right now he's not much in the news. what exactly is he up to because he keeps a very low profile. >> well that's right he does and if you look at our launch video, we talk about that directly. you know, basically what he does is he works with the democrats and votes in party line. in the 12 years that he's been in the united states senate he's only authored one piece of legislation that's passed. aside from that he basically carries water for the democratic party, and if you look at where the democratic party is right now it's an extreme left party. steve: uh-huh. tell me about his connection to the olympics? >> well i discovered this in the wake of the nasdaqer scandal i became one of the national olympian leaders working to reform the olympic committee particularly to protect young females. i discovered that senator bennett was actually the founding chair of the olympic caucus and i worked with senator corey gardner who

was a conservative republican and congresswoman diana deget a liberal democrat from colorado, we worked together bipartisan to pass legislation reform the olympics. michael bennett didn't return any calls, he never got involved steve: but he was the founder of it? >> he was the founding chair, and you know, steve, this is interesting, because you look at what's going on with governor cuomo. democrats talk a good game about protecting women, but you see how many people protected him, and senator bennett did nothing to protect literally thousands of young female victims in the olympics. steve: so eli you launched your bid for senate this week. what has the reaction been? >> oh, its been absolutely amazing. i've had people from across the country contacting me, donations are coming in, people are calling us up, e-mailing, saying they're super excited. they know colorado is in play. we know it's in play and we're excited to move forward. steve: all right, you warned the uniform for the country twice before and now you'd like

change." you shut the doors to the public as well as the e-mails sent by the superintendent last year reminding me that a descenting opinion is not allowed even to be spoken in my personal life. going so far as to send a form to my colleagues and i encouraging us to fill it out. i quit your policies. i quit your training and i quit being a cog in a machine that tells me to push highly politicized agendas on our most vulnerable constituents, the children. ainsley: author douglas murray joins us now to react. good morning to you. >> good morning. ainsley: good morning, so douglas you can tell she's obviously emotional. she probably doesn't want to leave these kids in that school district without having her teachings, but she's forced to. forcing good teachers to leave, what's your reaction? >> yeah, this woman, laura morris, is the teacher we just heard from whose resigned really should be applauded, i think. it's clear from the tape how distressed she is about having

to take this decision, but she felt she had to for reasons of conscience. as she says there, you know, it's a privilege to be a teacher it's a privilege to help the next generation of young americans grow up, to think, to be informed and to be able to go out into the world, and it's clear she says to the loudoun county board that that's not a priority, actually, to the local school authorities. in fact, in their priority system, it's things like equity class. she refers there to the equity class that says that there is a privilege in being a white female ablebodied christian teacher and this has to change, and the thing is, we all have to ask as she did, why? what's wrong with being a white christian ablebodied female teacher? what's wrong with it? if you're a good teacher, we should celebrate that, but that's not what's been happening , and so for reasons of conscience, she's decided to

resign and i think people should applaud that. ainsley: the superintendent, she says, also in addition to the white christian thing, the superintendent sent out an e-mail saying you're not allowed to have a descenting opinion. there's a picture of the superintendent and if you do disagree with our district, and you even talk about it in your private life, other teachers should nixon you and he sent out a form to all of the teachers. what about free speech? why can't you disagree with what they are trying to tell you to teach? >> yeah, it's free speech, freedom of conscience, freedom of belief, they are all just being rough shot over by pompus bloated authorities like this one. you know, they have no right to tell american teachers that they cannot descent from this completely newly-invented orthodoxy and this can't be stressed enough. what the loudoun county board is doing is an ideology invented practically yesterday.

there's no need for them to roll it out across the entire county or indeed across all of america and there is every right of americans including american teachers to at the very least raise concerns about this , to object to it, but this is something we're going to see a lot more of. we need more heros and we just seen one. ainsley: at the end, she said, i call on families to flood the private schools, maybe that's where she will get her next job. thank you so much douglas for coming on with us. >> it's a great pleasure. ainsley: thank you. coming up next, tucker carlson is up this morning and he's going to join us live you don't want to miss a second plus the yankees and white sox are preparing to play near the field of dreams. joe buck has a preview of the game. >> ♪ ♪♪ (upbeat pop music in background throughout)

>> there's a fine line, tucker,

between telling people we're not breaking the law and not enforcing it and being okay with that. some i.c.e. officials will tell you well the biden administration isn't telling us to break the law but they are definitely telling you know the to enforce it. steve: well, that former i.c.e. official, thomas feely retiring over what he calls the administration's refusal to enforce the law. also claiming activists from non-profits routinely weigh in, and stop deportations. ainsley: and now tucker carlson exclusively obtaining e-mails confirming this , like this one, you see on your screen, from a member of the abolish i.c.e. movement, urging i.c.e. to block the deportation of a convicted f elon. brian: wow the request was ultimate forwarded along by i.c.e. director tey johnson, who requested a 14 day stay of removal to which an official responded "will do." tucker carlson joins us now. another scandal revolving the border. tucker this is unbelievable. a lot of these whistleblowers feel at home on your show.

that's the ultimate reward don't you think? >> yeah, i mean, do you know what this tells you honestly? what's happening at the border is not a crisis. a crisis is a flood in bangladesh, it's an act of god. this is an intentional act. this is the administration bringing felons, violent criminals into our country, on purpose. why would you do something like that? only to destroy it. there's no other explanation for this. it's not an act of compassion. it's an act of hostility against the united states, in order to change it forever. i think this is the greatest scandal of my lifetime what's happening on the border right now. steve: well absolutely, although , you've heard secretary mayorkas, tucker, says the strategy is working, which makes you wonder, what is the strategy? >> right. well the strategy is to change the demographics of the country. when you say that, they have a heart attack and call you names but they say it outloud. i mean, they say it on the floor of the senate, dick durbin did two weeks ago. this country is changing in a

way that benefits the democratic party. more democratic voters. there's no other upside in this policy. by the way it doesn't help the people coming from around the world there's a humanitarian disaster unfolding thanks to the biden administration. the only beneficiaries are the people who run the democratic party and this is an effort to change the country, and we should be honest about it and not be bullied into silence as they take our country away. and import violent criminals, what? ainsley: what is that though, i've heard republicans say it's to turn arizona and texas blue, but what's the benefit of allowing felons to come in? >> well, you know, the same reason that they push to allow felons to vote is the same reason they're doing this. they believe these are their voters. look their behavior, not what they say. if you want to know the truth about something, put earmuffs on and just watch the person talking to you. what's he doing and what they are doing is bringing in people they think will vote for them and that is an attack on democracy. it's the definition of it, when

you change the electorate you change the outcome. you disempower the people who live here. you take their votes away. that's what they are doing. why don't say anything about this? brian: but tucker, i'm playing this out, it's going to blow up in democrats faces and you saw it in the last election. more hispanic votes for donald trump than ever before and people who live in those areas who are hispanic want to be americans first and they see this is hurting their country, and if people think that hispanics are going to go to democrats, i think it's game on, because it's not. >> well i think that's exactly why they are doing this because they saw in the last election results that people with spanish last names on the border are just americans like everybody else and they don't want their country wrecked either just because they have a hispanic last name doesn't mean they are for this craziness they aren't and they voted against it so the democrats want to import new people and it doesn't matter what racial or ethnic group they are from. they are from other country, democrats are bringing them here , purely to vote for them. purely. steve: we did reach out to i.c.e. for comments. newly-released did not dispute

any of the reporting and confirm ed that pena hasn't been deported and is still in the united states. so, stay tuned to tucker for further updates. meanwhile, tucker, we've got dr. anthony fauci, he's on msnbc yesterday and talking a little bit about our freedoms listen to this. >> i'm sorry, i know people must like to have their individual freedom and not be told to do something, but i think we're in such a serious situation now, that under certain circumstances, mandates should be done. steve: okay, so, people like freedom, but sorry. not today. >> [laughter] the guy who funded the creation of the virus is still on television telling us that we can't have our constitutional god given freedoms? at some point, you get what you put up with. why are we listening to anthony fauci? he's so thoroughly discredited. we don't have a power to force a

congressional investigation or an indictment, but we do have the power to ignore and anyone who still takes this guy seriously kind of deserves what he gets, as far as i'm concerned just ignore the guy. steve: well but we heard from jen psaki about a month ago. she was asked by our white house correspondent, would the president under any circumstances fire anthony fauci and she said absolutely not. >> look, the liberals said this for many years and they were absolutely right. if a law is unjust, if it's designed to hurt people who are innocent, rather than protect the innocent, then, you know, you have to think really strong ly about civil disobedience. they're forcing you to violate your conscious, to hurt yourself or your children, you know, in what sense you obligated to obey that? i mean, they're pushing this so far, especially in the mask question and there's a ton of evidence that masks hurt kids. there doesn't seem to be any evidence that kids benefit from

masks, so if they're not going to explain why this is a good policy it kind of puts the rest of us in a very tough spot. i want to follow the law but am i going to hurt my kid toss satisfy your political narrative ainsley: hopefully there won't be long term negative consequences from these masks. >> yeah, does he have small children i don't think he does but a lot of people do, a lot of people and they love their children and you kind of have to put your children first at a certain point and you want to do the right thing but you can't hurt your kids. brian: absolutely and when a governor says i want to put the power in the hands of the parents, they are vilified in texas and florida. that's unbelievable so i want to talk about your few book i know you're reluctant. it's called "the long slide, 30 years in american journalism." first off, cool cover. second off, the first thing you do is take a shot at your publisher, why? >> well it's published under contract to write this book, when they canceled josh hawley's book because they didn't like a vote he cast in the senate right after the last presidential election so i called john carp

who runs the company and i said why did you send this to me and i had a long conversation with him and he talked to me about it and he said yes they acted on behalf of the democratic party and this just one snapshot of censorship underway in the united states, but this is a major book publisher that for a century has upheld the freedom of speech and the free exchange of ideas, and now, they are crushing those things, and i thought since i have a window into this , i should report it out. i should preserve this for history. what's happening in 2021 and to me, it was a very sad story. but also, a really interesting one and i think people look back and how did this happen? brian: donald trump is having trouble getting a book deal, how does that happen when he gets 75 million people potential voters. >> yeah, because it's not about , look, we think this is a free market and you know, they are going to do what's best for the bottom line. not true. the political pressure is more, i mean, why do these huge companies attack potential consumers? we don't want your business, you're immoral.

that's not a free market. those aren't market principles. those are political principles, so we need to reorient here. this is not a free market. these are political actors, i mean, they get rich by being friends of the people who run the government. that's the truth and that's why they gave hunter biden millions of dollars to write a book that didn't sell. steve: sure. >> dumb people like me are confused for years and then the light bulb finally goes off and you're like oh, wait that's what's going on. ainsley: tucker tell us about your book. what's in it? >> well it's a collection of 30 years of magazine journalism i started in 1991 its all i've ever done, its been a hack, and to go back and, you know, it's really kind of a snapshot of the country. how things have changed and i think some of it's pretty good and funny and interesting, but as you read it, i had to reread it and do the audio book, and you think to yourself wow, first of all i'm really old. i have no idea how old i was and for another, the country it's

just so different, so it's kind of a window into the last 30 years in america. steve: yeah, i've read part of it so far. it's like a time machine, because every time you come up, you know, whether you're traveling with al sharpton or another event, you know, you very efficiently and effectively take us right to that moment in time in america, and then we see the long slide to where we are today. >> well and to polarization, last thing i'll say is i read this and was reminded of all of the liberals and democratic politicians i liked and spent time with and got along with and had dinner with and i never agreed with them but always liked them and we could be friends, and it's just unimagin able, like i couldn't go to africa with al sharpton now. i couldn't have dinner with al gore. what? first of all they would never go with me but second, it's just i hope we're not as polarized as we are right now forever. it's not as fun. brian: things get worse before they get better. tucker, you want everyone to buy

the book in person, stores like barnes & noble, cost corks walmart, target, you support doing that however typically order online, cut out big tech and buy it at tuckercarlson.com and get a copy shipped right to you. i think i know who you're avoiding. steve: if we can. >> kind of hard. brian: tucker congratulations on all your success. it's going to be a huge hit. >> particularly you, ainsley. ainsley: thank you, tucker always good to see you. brian: unbelievable. still ahead if you build it mlb will come. joe buck joins us for the match up between the yankees and white sox. it's historic, lots of corn. >> ♪

everybody hooked into and i don't care where you are in life , i don't care where you are in the movie when you come across it on your tv, you watch until the end and when you get to the end, you cry. at least i do, because it all really centers around a father and a son and a kid who wants to connect with his dad and things left unsaid, and it's all kind of made right because they have a catch, and that, you know it's the romantic side of the game and that's what's going to be highlighted and celebrated tomorrow night. brian: all right, joe, be another challenge for your career and you'll rise to that challenge and we'll watch that pre-game starts at 6:00 and then we'll watch the game. joe, a special thing happened over the weekend, you joined your dad in the pro football hall of fame. the pete roselle section for your outstanding broadcasting careerment you called your first game at the age of 25. what was that like? >> well, i was faking it. i'd never called football in my life and i was standing there at soldier field on opening day in

1994 when fox got the rights to cover the nfc, thinking my god am i going to be found out as a fraud? i'm just somebody's son standing here, about ready to do an nfl game but it went okay, and it was a different time. i think without social media and there was time to kind of grow into the role, but it was a lot to bite off for your first time really calling football, and it's the nfl, and it's a new network covering sport. brian: well and troy aikman and others saluted you the number one guy at fox, six super bowls, more to come i'm sure, so you're now another reason to go to can ton to see yourself and your legacy which is still building. another challenge has emerged too. a chance to host jeopardy. here is a little bit of joe buck >> i understand i'm to blame for your good and bad mood in 2016? >> that's right. game seven of the 2016 world series you were there with me

when davis had a game tying home run and i was so happy but unfortunately, you were also there with me a couple innings later when it all ended. brian: joe, what was that like? in broadcasting you've done just about it all. what's the challenge of doing that show? >> i mean, well first of all i'm getting ripped and the guy was a great champion and, you know, i was honored to be on that stage, and it was humbling to walk out there where alex tr ebek had been for 37 years and i was the last guest host and i had fun. i tried to have fun in and around being a straight quiz show host, so as i look back on it i did it four months ago, i'm proud of how it turned out and i enjoy watching it which i never like watching my stuff but it's fun to think of myself sitting there. brian: this really helps your resume so should something happen at fox it'll help you get another job if they don't hire you straight out. joe buck congratulations on everything. we'll watch you tomorrow, thursday, at 7:00 eastern time,

yankees against the white sox. a place we haven't been but we've watched we'll see it all. thanks joe. >> all right brian thanks. brian: and the good news about this , in the age of the pandemic, you can do your interviews from your study. steve: that's right, but our own will cain will actually be at the field of dreams tomorrow. brian: that's arguably the biggest story. ainsley: we'll see you tomorrow, everyone.
