"fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ ♪ >> griff: president biden using guns to blame for the violence. >> politicians have stopped enforcing the gun laws. joe biden's own son violated federal firearms law. >> the problem congress is not acting. >> vice president kamala harris is dismissing her role as border czar yet another high ranking member of her team is calling it quits. >> you are there to compete. do not risk incurring the anger of the chinese government. >> that breaks my heart.

so, what they have done this for decades on the program is encourage you to get dressed and wear something red. you know what? but a lot of people are not -- like guys, easy for you a red dress or a red pants suit or something like that. guys might not have a red jacket or red pants or red shirt. but think about a red -- because a lot of people aren't wearing neckties. red hat, scarf, gloves. be creative. >> brian: it was a while had when everyone saw red they think communism. we are not going communist. we are totally against that. >> steve: that is not the message today. >> brian: not at all. >> ainsley: what about what's the website, brian? >> go red for women.org. >> ainsley: i went on their website this morning. they have a little ticker. they're trying to raise $3 million today. they raised over 100,000 when i checked. >> steve: february is american heart month. so it all makes sense. >> brian: but sadly red is

something that we are familiar with in new york where six cops have been shot this year already. there has been more cops targeted in this short period of time than any time since 1997. and when you think about what's going on with crime in the 22 major cities in this country, you think about something that will resonate with everyone. and this if you are a politician, and you want to start having your poll goes up, you will show at least you're engaged and on the side of the blue. you have would think. so the president of the united states came here one day after a major funeral that had all of fifth avenue filled with blue. retired and active policemen and women there to salute one of their fallen. and at the same time, the next day here comes the president with a mayor that he -- this mayor, eric adams says he is the president's favorite. where they got together and new york city and they brought his attorney general with him. the question is, is he addressing crime and the fundamental root problem by

addressing guns? >> steve: we predicted exactly what the president would do and he followed our script. it was all about guns. he did at one point say the answer is not to defund the police. that was encouraging. buff he didn't say anything manhattan's woke d.a. alvin bragg didn't talk about the no wail law. raise the age law which we talked about. nothing about the influence of police defunders. you know, it sounded like if he is going to talk about the answer is not to defund the police. he was going to go down that road. but the cover of the "new york post" completely summarizes it. sleepy joe talk about crime but it's all blah blah blah blah blah, ainsley. >> ainsley: in that harl one of the are brooklyn the writer of the article said didn't hear anything from biden that would stem the shootings. typical political mumbo jump bho bow. they talk a good game. guns are already here. we have to keep the people we

arrest with guns in jail. the only hope for innocent victims is to get -- put them behind bars and put them in jail. evidence didn't meet with the families either of the fallen heros that were buried last week and a half. >> steve: opportunity lost. >> ainsley: that's right. he didn't come to the funerals. he didn't shake hands with the cops in front of saint pat's. we don't understand why he is not willing to do that. and support the blue he has said he wants to redirect funding. he said that on the campaign trail. did he say yesterday he is not for defunding. listen to more of what he said. >> first, we want to crack down on the flow of firearms used to commit violence. that includes taking on and shutting down rogue gun dealers. it's about doing background checks as well as outright selling -- making sure that people who are not allowed to have a gun, don't get the gun in the first place. and, again, for any of the --

any of the press -- this doesn't violate anybody's second amendment right. there's no amendment that's absolute. when the amendment was passed, it didn't say anybody could own a gun and any kind of gun and any kind of weapon. you couldn't buy a cannon when this -- this amendment was passed, so no reach why you should be able to buy certain assault weapon. but that's another issue. >> brian: he, of course, attacked the second amendment and that's kind of interesting he sees so much flexibility there. as the "new york post" points out, he could have called that the extremism in his own party. the cory bushy, mayor garcetti, mayor de blasio. alvin bragg. every member of the squad ayanna pressley called dismantle, defund, reimagining the police and you don't think that plays a role? even for the self-interest of the president and his party you would think that he would, yeah, name guns as the problem. ghost guns major issue.

let's be honest, the d.a. has overcorrected the criminal justice reform. segue and blame donald trump for it he loves doing that. tucker carlson weighed in last night. we just are not addressing the problem which means nothing is going to get solved. >> keep in mind in new york city biden endorsed politicians have stopped enforcing a lot of the gun law. stop and frisk. remember that? that was against the equity agenda. can't have that people with illegal guns are getting away. by the way, joe biden's own son veigeled federal firearm laws. a felony, not prosecuted. but you can't have a gun in your home because no amendment is absolute. bottom line is the laws aren't being enforced and that's quite the problem. >> ainsley: our new d.a. will not even put you behind bars if you walk in and rob a store with a gun. you will only get in trouble, you only go behind bars if you fire that weapon. that is ridiculous.

it's crazy, and these cops are saying all of these people who are firing the guns, these criminals that have these illegal guns in their house don't go off on their own. someone is actually pulling the trigger. if you let them stay out on the streets and walk around with these guns, as long as they are not firing them and put them behind bars, we are going to continuously have these problems. >> steve: sure. it's interesting. one biden administration official spoke to somebody over at channel 4 just across the street. and they said the reason there is such a crime spike -- the crime spike is through the roof, they said it's the pandemic. think about it we are now two years into the pandemic. crime in new york city is up about 40% overover year. so, you can't blame the pandemic. i know that in the beginning, this administration would blame either donald trump or the pandemic for everything. you cannot blame donald trump for the climb new york city. but you can blame the pandemic. and so that is what they are doing even though that stretches

logic. >> brian: i would think that mark penn, a democratic strategist, who looks at his numbers, a guy like james carville would look at president biden and just say hey, to solve, this you can't just mention guns. if you actually want to get some votes, you want to reverse the momentum that's going against their party, you should look at the stats, robbery up 33%. rape up 27%. felony assault 12%. grand larceny up 58% in january. you can't just blame the gun. >> ainsley: remember we did the story of the mom, she was in the car with her child. her husband went in the grocery store. she was interviewed about this. she said i don't care if you fill up rikers island, isn't that what a jail is for? isn't that what a prison is for? fill it up with the criminals. >> steve: the problem is people in new york city and not across the country do not feel safe. that is a terrible to be in a country where you don't feel safe to walk out the door there was one moment when the president talked about guns and people, it was an absolutely cringe worthy moment. at one point he was hugging a

community leader and he said this guy has got some guns. talking about his arms. >> ainsley: squeezing his arms. >> steve: somebody else said mr. president no, more guns. >> i mean these guns. poor choice of words. poor choice of words. poor message. the message should be i'm joe biden, we have come to work new york to make things safe and we are going to throw the book at people who break the law. he didn't say that yesterday. >> ainsley: 6:10 on the east coast. vice president kamala harris is playing the blame game once again. listen. >> the problem is congress is not acting. we must create a pathway to citizenship. this should not be partisan. >> ainsley: if it's not pandemic it is congress she is blaming. harris tasked with addressing the border now putting the blame on congress. >> brian: always interesting to hear her soundbites. where is the beef you? heard about meatless monday find out what big city is forcing

against cancel cancel culture and censorship. hilarious when it's your side. >> steve: root causes of the migration disaster on our southern border. >> ainsley: rarely goes down there. >> steve: she sat down in a chair in washington, d.c., i believe, and spoke to telemundo, and they had a great question about the lack of stuff that the biden administration had promised when they were running. and they have not delivered on those things or for migrants. here is -- it's great question. but the answer may surprise you. >> elections are, you know, in a couple months time. i'm sure that you are aware that the border is going to be an issue, coming -- in the coming elections. those -- president biden promised immigration reform. he hasn't been able to deliver. so, why would you say that latinos should vote for the democrats this november?

>> the first piece of legislation sent to congress was immigration reform. literally, it was our first initiative to say we must have a path for citizenship. the problem is congress is not acting. we must create a pathway to citizenship. this should not be partisan. we should not allow republicans or democrats, if they do stand in the way of it, to get away with this as a partisan issue. >> steve: so blame congress. >> ainsley: should have said we do help the latinos, we have an open border. come on in. it doesn't matter if you are a citizen anymore. it doesn't matter if you are here illegally. we are going to let you stay and maybe give you free healthcare in college and might get free college. >> brian: private jet to west chester airport and nice bag from catholic charities along with some spending money. she said and goes on to say that money would really choose to

leave their church and their grandma and come all the way to america. really? have you heard about the american story where people pack up with just the clothes on their back, hop on a steam ship and go to ellis island for 200 years? okay, but i don't want to get side tracked. she is acts like everyone is coming from central and southern america. can someone give her a cable subscription to watch our channel? there is 80 countries come across our border in the last two months. these people come from the ukraine, from the middle east. they are not coming from central and south america primarily anymore. that ship has sailed. >> ainsley: griff jenkins made a great point if she is going to address the north causes in she is going to go to the northern triangle country and go to honduras now rerealize people go to other places is she going to go to russia and ukraine and address those root causes? >> steve: i have heard her say in the past i have never been to

europe although she eventually did go. in the last two segments we have seen a preview the run up of the midterm elections. democrats are going to be called on the carpeted owho didn't get any of this stuff done. keep in mind when she said on day one we sent it to congress. they sent a bunch of stuff. they sent a list to congress. hey, do something about the border. do something about the environment. do something about all the things that they wanted to make sure that their base was excited about. buff they could not deliver on. if why is that? isn't it curious? first day of their administration, it was a -- their own party had control of both houses of congress. the house and the senate. and they did not pass anything. the last time anything even got close to going through congress was in 2007. if this was truly a priority, the biden administration would have come up with suggestions that both sides of the aisle could have gotten together with. but they chose not to. why would that be?

could it be that they simply thought they couldn't get republican support? or did they want to use it as an issue going forward. we would have done more on the border but those darn republicans wouldn't let us. >> brian: but here's the problem. they feel as though it's the hispanic vote by being permissible at the border with the hispanic vote. that is an old school line of thought. if you see what's over joe biden's shoulder in the white house, it's caesar chavez. he is maybe the ultimate hero of the hispanic community in california because what he did for migrant farmers. he is losing the hispanic vote. and he's losing it in the border areas. because the hispanic penal came here legally. and they don't enjoy the illegal way in which people are doing what they worked so hard to do pay the money, take the test. go through the immigration process. play the perfect game. make sure you don't have any transgressions and then become citizens. he actually is insulting them by say going i leave that southern

border open, the hispanic community will like me. they don't. and, number two, i think it's so important, everybody knows you get nowhere with immigration reform without border security. he hasn't even tried to do it. steve, what you are referring to in 2007, george bush got house and senate to pass separate immigration bills. they couldn't get them to conference. they actually passed it. we couldn't get them to conference. >> steve: got stuck in the senate. they both had separate deals. they needed to work it out. and they both said it's too risky for both parties to do it because they seem to both want the issue. >> ainsley: his immigration reform would allow 11 million undocumented migrants that are here in the united states to have citizenship. >> steve: probably more than that. avians ains that's what i was going to say. clarifies said if we we needed to get something passed. some of these bills you need 60 votes. i'm sorry you need fifth. they don't have that they haven't even pushed it through. you are right. probably not a priority. to your point, talk to any of your friends be that are here

that went through the process legally. they are furious about it. they spent the money and they are proud to go through the process. >> brian: do you know the questions you have if you get married to an immigrant and the questions they have and the separate you and ask you questions to see if the relationship is real or not? at the same time all these people do show up and get nike, a sweat suit, a clear bag of toiletries and spending money. are you kidding me? >> steve: don't blame congress. blame your own party, kamala harris. meanwhile, somebody else in that party is nancy pelosi. and, you know, the olympics you are going to see the opening ceremonies tonight if you watch -- i mean, i don't know anybody that sex sighted about this year's olympics. here's the thing. they are being held in beijing, china. china is a very famous human rights violator for a variety of reasons. so, the speaker of the house had a message to these athletes who, after they compete, there is a press conference.

whatever do you don't say anything bad about china. watch. >> you are there to compete. do not risk saying anything against the chinese government. they're ruthless. there is a temptation of some to speak out while they're there. i respect that, but i also worry about what the chinese government might do. >> ainsley: everyone does think that but that is insane that we are sending -- we are actually taking part in this and we are going. >> steve: don't say what you really think. she can't say hey, reporters, don't ask those questions that would be infringement on reporter. she can say hey, if you are representing the united states, don't say anything bad. although, think about it, if you are an olympic athlete and you are in front of the world's press, that is the number one time to say something because

after the olympics, then that's what they are suggesting, wait until you get home. nobody is going to care then. when you are right there, that would be the maximum time to do it. >> ainsley: that's exactly what enes kanter freedom. remember he is from turkey, changed his anytime freedom. listen to what he said. >> 30 minutes ago and it broke my heart. because, you know, athletes, i feel like, need to use their platform to bring awareness of what is going on around the world. and obviously china right now is the biggest human right abuser in the world. i feel like for all the athletes is my message is while you are there, take one or two day and visit the concentration camps, if you can. see what going through. take another three-point taiwan and see what democracy means. when i saw that video it definitely did break my heart. >> brian: so,. >> steve: he is right.

>> brian: talking about the 75 houston rocket chinese national. he came out and kind of challenged enes kanter and invited him over. enes says sounds good. come over. let's make sure we visit the uyghurs and hong kong and then they blocked him on twitter. then he just called him out as a big man actually small india will skipped opening ceremonies which start in five minutes they will not attend because the torch bearer reportedly chosen by the chinese authorities riled up new delhi's anger, end yaps foreign affairs person on thursday said it was regrettable that the chinese side had chosen to politicize an event like the olympics. they actually thought they were going to go to the olympics and not have it politicized? there is no fans, there is no broadcasting. there is no broadcasters in the country. so you are going to look at i understand why japan did it. buff no way that china should be doing it we put 101,000 people in the michigan stadium.

you should be able to put some people in an arena. >> ainsley: even their family members can't go. if that were your child. you are not allowed to bring your family and you are not allowed to talk. >> brian: that's one of the thing that threw off simone biles she was so out of her element because there was no one around. >> steve: also, it could be when you see the athlete, if you watch the opening ceremonies later, as it will be broadcast here in the united states. if you are watching, you may -- unless you count, you might actually be missing some american athletes. because some american athletes apparently feel so strongably human rights violations of china they don't want to take part in it. rather than announce that they're not doing it they are just going to sit in the olympic village they, too, will not say hey, i had a little silent protest until after the games and they are back here in america. >> ainsley: where they can speak freely. >> brian: three and a half weeks. >> steve: it's crazy. speaking of crazy. we are tracking crazy wicked weather.

ice. ice has been one of the main concerns with this system. deputy top ice reports last 24 hours. half inch in parts of texas and arkansas. that is enough to bring down power lines. bring down trees. and when you talk about that, that's where you are seeing hundreds of thousands of folks without power here this morning. real cold temperatures behind it we continue to see winter storm weather alerts stretching from back of texas getting you all the way up into maine where who are ice and snow is expected today. your future forecast and pay attention to the time up in the corner. this is going to last throughout the day today. if you live along the coast warm. not a whole lot in the way of d.c. and new york. once you get up into boston that will change, of course we have got one more day of this and watching it very closely as it makes those moves. those are your weather headlines for now tossing it over to you. >> thank you, adam. goat headlines here. starting with this, a grab and run caught on camera in pennsylvania. police say several suspects ran out of a macy's with their arms

full of stolen merchandise. the person who recorded the incident followed the suspect to their car. police say they cannot read the license plate because it was allegedly covered. authorities say over $2,000 worth of merchandise was stolen. did you hear about this? shaquille anneal is defending americans who stand up against vaccine mandates on his podcast. listen. >> look, i encourage everybody to be safe and take care of your family. i do. but there are still some people that don't want to take it and you should not be forced to take something that you don't want. >> no, it's not forced. >> it is forced. because if the man don't take it the man will get fired. >> the nba hall of famer joe rogan faces calls to lose his podcast calls over the pandemic and vaccines. mayor eric garcetti is raising the city's rage to $16.04 an hour starting july 1st. the minimum wage has been $15 since 2015. the hike comes response to the

consumer price index which has risen steadily over the past seven years. even with this increase, l.a.'s minimum wage does not meet what hollywood that $17.64, which is the highest in the country. it certainly is, brian. over to you. >> brian: all right. thanks, carley. now this former new york city mayor and failed presidential candidate miserably by the way, bill de blasio might be considering a run for congress. if so, the democrat would square off in a primary with former congressman max rose for new york's newly redrawn 11th district which is currently held by our next guest who says bring it on. republican congresswoman nicole malliotakis joins us now. congresswoman, we'll put this up while we speak. they have redrawn your district. it's bizarre. goes all the way up to park slope brooklyn all the way through known as conservative staten island, i have heard of gerrymandering. that's a huge leap, literally over water. >> look, if we know anything from the democrats is that if they can't win by the rules,

they will change the rules this san attempt to silence those that i represent because i am the only republican voice in washington from our city that serves as counter balance to alexandria ocasio-cortez and jerry nadler. and the good news is that we can still district. did i win it when i ran against de blasio for mayor in 2017. i will tell you something, the last thing we need is mayor de blasio in washington. he created such a mess in our city. and we don't want to bring those policies to the federal level. i need everyone's help to stop this guy from coming to congress and those who want to help me in this fight go to my website nicole for ny.com. >> brian: are you challenging the way this thing is drawn up? it's a farsz. >> well, the constituents are doing it i know that already there has been a lawsuit filed and, look, brian, you know, this is what the democrats do. right? they are changing the rules. just like they attempted to change the -- pack the supreme court. just like they wanted to change

the filibuster in the senate. they attempted three times this year to change our election laws. this is what they are doing. i do believe that there is a good legal here because it violates the state constitution. also we believe the voting rights act. it's up to the constituents who are filing this lawsuit to take this fight to court. >> absolutely i know in long island they are trying to get rid of republican seats. i think one thing that might republicans and democrats to do to go into each other's district and sell. rather than maximize people who like them. sell them on your policies that will make the country come together, i think, to a large degree. meanwhile, there is something else starting that nobody wants. where's the beef is starting today. new york city schools for the few that go to school, will serve vegan only meals on friday as part of the mayor's fitness initiative. i didn't know vegan and fitness go hand in hand. isn't that a choice? >> it should absolutely be a choice. i understand that the mayor is a

vegan and that's his lifestyle choice but to make it 00 only option for students is wrong. the mayor should be focusing on many other issues. school safety right now is a huge issue in new york city. and you are hearing it from parents in all five burrows. they have found guns, knives, drugs, in our schools. they are down 2,000 school safety agents. i think focusing on school safety and curriculum first is the way to be going. if you are going to implement a vegan option it should be just that an option. let people choose. own. >> brian: two things they have from common. impossible to go school without masks and impossible burger. bluck this friday. something to look forward. to say congresswoman best of luck with your potential opponent 6'9" bill de blasio failed mayor. emblematic everything wrong with this country. thanks congresswoman. >> thank you. >> brian: healthcare staffing shortages are so bad in this state the national guard is being called in to help.

hill.com. it's great. we saw that and said we have got to talk to you about this. and you make the great point. joe rogan has 11 million podcast subscribers which, you know, he is like their number -- he is the gem in the spotify arsenal of podcasts and whatnot. and podcasts, according to you, are a cash machine. they are up 627%. but, here's the thing. would they be doing this for somebody who was not making them any money? he is making them a ton of dough. because, unfortunately, for him, and for others. free speech protections do not apply to private businesses. and spotify can do anything they want. >> yeah. although i want to emphasize that a lot of people on the left, that -- have said that if it's not prohibited on the first amendment, it's not a free speech issue. that's not true. i mean, the first amendment is not the exclusive domain of free speech. what they are doing is shutting down free speech. the left has come on to a winning strategy. they were the target of

censorship during the mccarthy period. but they have discovered that if they use corporations to control speech it the first amendment. not true what they are doing is not a free speech attack. it is. they are trying to stop people from speaking on these platforms. and they are being much more successful than mccarthy ever did the extent of their success would make mccarthy blush today. >> steve: yeah. no kidding. ultimately spotify heard the complaint. they came half way. they issued a dislarnl and joe rogan came out and said i will have more balance. if you are looking for balance, that's a win-win. >> yeah. what's really amazing is they are hitting him because he was allowing dissenting voices on the virus and the treatment. many of the things that people were tagged or canceled for just last year are now being embraced as plausible, reasonable, even

clearly true. things like that cloth masks are not effective barriers against the virus. that people can still pass the virus if they're vaccinated. the origins of lab theory. all of those things are being discussed in the mainstream media. just last year you were a pariah if you even mentioned them. >> steve: jonathan turley, he doesn't need spotify. is he a fox news contributor. this is his gig. jonathan, thank you very much for joining us live. >> thank you, steve. >> steve: all right. have a good weekend a dream come true. an 11-year-old girl from texas who just lost her father. her mom got her favorite nfl player to fill his shoes. that amazing story coming up next. going to put a smile on your face. ♪ ♪

makeup. just the all works. she felt like a princess all night. >> were you nervous to meet him? what did you talk to him about. tell us what that night was like. >> i was very nervous because i didn't know what i was going to say. at first it was kind of awkward because we weren't talking yet. i was just kind of dancing with my friends and i didn't know what to say to him. but then he kind of came up and started talking to me. think about like football and how my day was going. that started a conversation. so we just like -- we had multiple conversations because the first one was probably just about how my day was. and how my football was and all that stuff. >> ainsley: i'm sure you were the most popular girl at the dance. were they atalking him wanting to talk to him? >> yes. actually. i didn't have many friends at the dance. i had one of my friends there and she was like oh my gosh. i can't believe he actually came. because i told her that he had said maybe. she was super excited for me.

>> ainsley: holly, i know y'all have been through a lot. last year was really hard on your family. when someone loves your child. you love them as well. what was your reaction to him saying yes? >> i was surprised at first not necessarily surprise that he had said yes. i was so anxious and excited for her. because she just had the most terrible year. i mean, 11-year-old it was her first experience with grief. it was a big one. so losing her dad and then her grandfather and then starting middle school and then obviously with covid. it was a terrible year for her. for someone to show up and to teach her that people do show up for you. it's just then beyond a blessing and just the power of god and how he makes these situations happen has just been unbelievable and remarkable. >> ainsley: audrey, i know no one can replace your dad. this is really cool that he was willing to be there for you and to pick you up when you had a really hard time. what were his dance moves like?

>> they were very good. >> rated him 8.5 out of 10. >> ainsley: that's great. i know he gave you some advice. that's really sweet of him. i'm going to start watching him now. i thought that was a remarkable gesture. thank you both. god bless you both. i know your faith is strong. >> thank you. thank you so much. >> we are bracing for the january's job report this morning. a live report at the top of the hour as experts are saying it could be one of the worst in years. ♪ love shine ♪ love show ♪age

>> pete: it does. the white house has been bracing for a bad number since monday. >> we're looking in preparation for the friday jobs numbers. we'll get the monthly jobs report, of course, for january. on friday. the way the jobs numbers are calculated is every month there -- it's calculated every month, it's a little complicated job report may show job loss because workers were out sick from the omicron at the point where it peeking during the week where this data was taken. >> this is what analysts think she is getting at. the estimate is plus 150,000 jobs. but there is a possibility it's really minus 301,000 jobs. that would be a half a million jobs in the wrong direction. if that happens, cnn's headline says it all. america's economic recovery is about to go into reverse. but there are other ways to look at it. axios says get ready for a messy job majority.

and then you have the booj business report saying it will be a hot mess. that's as gallup finds satisfaction with the economy is already way down to 33%. that's down 10 from last year and 35 points from 2020. and this president, joe biden, likes to respond to basically any negative economic news by saying, well, we came in during the pandemic and we have created more jobs in the first year than any president ever. but, now that we are where we are, it's unclear if he is going to be able to keep using that language. we don't have to wait long to find out. he speaks in about three and a half hours. back to you. >> steve: and the jobs number comes out at 8:30. we will have that so, peter, how -- how will the white house spin this? if it is true as adp, the check -- the paycheck cutter is suggesting, it could be a loss of 300,000 jobs. how is the white house going to put a happy face on that? >> if past is white house is.

he many come out and say this is proof that people need to get vaccinated and he will say that they still created more jobs in a year than any president ever. but this is an extraordinary time because of covid and they want to just -- and you know what he? will probably also, if it goes the way that the last few of these things have gone, push for the build back better plan. because they use that as a catchall. it's going to create jobs. that's the only way to get anything better. >> steve: peter, what vaccine do you get for a job loss? >> i think it's in the trials. >> steve: pfizer is working on it thank you. >> ainsley: they say because omicron. any time you talk to your friends in your little group. one gets omicronnen they are all vaxxed did. what they said. get the vaccine or at least i did. many people are still getting omicron after they are getting this they are having to either

stay home with their kids to do the zooming, or they are having to take care of an elderly parent who has omicron. or they are having to quarantine and stay home themselves. that's why the numbers they're predicting could be so bad. >> brian: i have a great idea for president biden. give him a second to get a pen. all right. he has got it wife don't you end the pandemic. do what denmark and u.k. and sweden did. it's over. look at what is happening with that report that you are ignoring from johns hopkins. look at the way the cases are dropping across the country. look at what the doctors are actually telling you that aren't employed by you. the masks don't work and vaccines are not stopping you from getting it and saying we have to learn to live with it. if you want to change the headline, do something like boris johnson did only without the scandal. free up your country to live their lives and change the message from run from it to live with it, here's how. >> steve: the good news is the okay cronel peak, we are on the back side of it which is

terrific. they're thinking that it's going to be -- the spring there will be a lull. unfortunately on february 1st, 4,000 people died of omicron. it is -- that's why and you look at the numbers, you talk to employers. we have had small business operators on this program, who have said that it's hard to get people to work because some of us are afraid to come to -- afraid that he will get omicron. >> brian: understand is no mitigation exercises are effective. the masks don't work. and if you have an underlying condition, and i hope you don't, you can wear an n-95 mask. keeps you safe and for those people who are asymptomatic, it doesn't matter that it spreads. you don't even know it you can't prevent it, and hiding in your house is not going to help you. staying in makes things worse, look at the study. and that's what people are realizing. can you say lookout and there is a worry. but at the same time, say what are you doing besides destroying your life.

and destroying your kids' lives. that's the key. >> steve: all right. just about half an hour ago. we talked to jonathan turley. and the topic was spotify joe rogan. >> ainsley: joe rogan he is under fireecause allegedly spreading misinformation. he just interviews a bunch of different people. different -- i mean, different opinions. and some people don't like the message that is being spread by some of these doctors that are putting down the vaccines. and so, several singers as you know have taken themselves off spotify like johnny mitchell and neil young he has 11 million lirches, he has a lot of supporters. mumford and son made excellent point targeting some of these celebrities taking their music off spotify like neil young. he said. >> brian: you can still stream his songs on apple, ignore their forced uyghur camp labor that's true apple builds everything on china and amazon. don't read about the company's

working condition. awful. keep on rocking in the freely world, neil. spotify a private company no found obligation to deplatform anybody. perhaps a healthy response for neil young would be for him to start his own spotify podcast. more speech is better than less. progressive tenet of less speech. a philosophy that shares a little too much in common with the darker societies of old. keep in mind, too. if you are saying to yourself, this spotify attack and this attack on joe rogan is similar to what we heard about substech. what happened with substech? this is a place for people to go who were being told by a lot of liberal newspapers we don't want your columns anymore. we are going to ban you and deplatform you they formed substech. if you click on it you get paid like bari weiss. people are outraged by substack. they formed their own platform. joe rogan does his own podcast. take a step back and realize what you are doing in this

country. >> >> steve: in fact, those comments from mr. marshall were on substech. an amalgam of different people with different points of view. spotify is a private business. there is no first amendment protection when it documents private businesses inbringing on my speech, that's something different. jonathan turley wrote in an op-ed on the hill. he said joe rogan has 11 million subscribers, he is the big money maker. >> ainsley: they care more about him or neil young? >> steve: it's a business decision. neil young made us $14 last year and joe rogan made us a hundred ba zillion dollars. podcasts are a cash machine. for spotify up 627%. a lot of it is joe rogan. so they made a business decision if the shoe was on the other foot, that might be something else. jonathan turley says joe rogan

may actually be protecting free speech. watch. >> think about this. artists against free speech. it's like athletes against fitness. it's -- it goes against the very notion of people who are engaged in the creative enterprise. but, there is a reason why you see this pile-on against joe rogan. in that he is the one that got away. he is the one that the canceling campaign did not cancel. and the result has been even the white house has called on spotify to do more. and various artists are lining up. so why is it intolerable. the answer is you can't control speech if there is any alternative. and, joe rogan is not just an alternative. he is a massive alternative with 11 million people. >> brian: obviously, i worry, i agree with jonathan turley. joe rogan personally listening to him. i can't listen to three hours. at a time but i do it in pieces.

but i do worry that there is going to be pressure on the sponsors because this is -- this is a democratic administration. they are going to put -- most of those sponsors, a lot of those corporations give to the democratic causes. if they start turning around and pressuring spotify, i worry about the public traded stock putting pressure on him and more limits on what he will do and maybe they -- we come back in one day. and the story is joe rogan and spotify have decided to part ways. and that's -- that's what i worry about. because he is right now seems untouchable. and if he is touch being. we're all doomed. >> ainsley: if you don't like what he is saying. if you don't like that interview. change the channel. turn it off. you have choices. >> steve: indeed. so, for right now, joe rogan and spotify both win. >> brian: just real quick. pew research ask liberals, 67% of liberals tech companies should take steps to restrict false information online even if it limits freedom of

information. almost seven out of 10 liberal democrats think he should -- >> steve: like twitter, facebook, all those platforms private businesses. they can do whatever they want. and that's why we see people on the political right trying to start their own social media company. all right. 7:14 here now in the east. carley joins us right now with news of that rap his or her was in the news last week for shooting the cop. >> carley: it's a crime story we have been following and important one. update here. you are right, steve. alleged cop shooter is off the streets and back in police custody for violating probation. cammeron williams the teen rap his or her goes by the stage name sea blue is accused of shooting nypd officer in the bronx last month. williams was freed after posting bail with cash from a record deal. now he is been ordered back to juvy because the gun he allegedly used violated probation from an earlier case. listen to this: a virginia school district is suspending

mourners and images of destroyed locations at the hand of ukraine or the west here unpack this is general jack keane. you told me during the break you credit the administration for exposing this intelligence. why? >> we took classified intelligence and exposed putin, you know, phony narrative that he started right from the beginning that somehow he is justified by bringing hundreds of thousands of troops to the border of ukraine based on some crisis that's taking place inside ukraine. there is no crisis. the only crisis is the fact that russia occupies crimea and a piece of eastern ukraine and now to be able to justify moving those troops across the border into ukraine, he is creating this false narrative supported

by a video which is obviously a step forward over what he did in 2014 in crimea false narrative and also in eastern ukraine in 2014 false narrative. now he is a video to support it in other words, he has to go in, based on the appeal from the russian separatists in eastern ukraine that they need assistance because of what the ukraine military is doing to them. and that is absolutely false. it's a big lie. and i credit the administration getting it out there, in the international community. some of which is going to register also at home with the russian people. >> brian: so when emerged from top secret briefing yesterday from the white house. he said this is the most significant since 1945. it's just that simple. is that what general jack keane thinks? >> well, it is a significant threat. there is no doubt about it. because listen, for 20 years we have been deal with putin.

and his objective for those 20 years is to stop further expansion of nato to undermine nato and at some point if we could, to break that trans-atlantic alliance. and that has been his strategic objective all of these years. and the fact that nato continues to expand. >> brian: right. >> really frustrating for him and certainly ukraine, the second largest country in europe. one that he wrote a 5,000 word article on. much of which he penned himself, drink with emotion and historical assistance of what ukraine means to russia. he is obsessed with this country not turning towards the west. not turning towards the eu for economic assistance and towards nato for political and military stability. >> brian: i want to get the syria strike in. it's worth mentioning today that president putin and vladimir putin -- joined russia in trying to action for ukraine.

they are on the same side. as we put sanctions on china will do the best they can to supplement and fill in gaps. that's not helpful. now let's move over to syrian operation that took out the replacement for al-baghdadi six names that ends with al-qurayshi. he is now dead and blew up his family in the process. what do you think american people need to know about this operation? >> well it, comes at a time when ice isis is trying to reemerge this leader was moving in that direction. he is not a charismatic figure like al baghdadi. he hasn't been putting out communique people. he has mostly been hiding to tell you the truth. nonetheless, he is the leader. and that was their plan. this will be disruptive for them. take time to put somebody else in charge. isis is still a threat. we don't get a lot of notice about it in the united states. but just last year they conducted close to 3,000 attacks, killed thousands of

people into syria area alone estimated by the united states government analysis close to 10,000 fighters. mostly in hiding. some of them trying to conduct very limited terrorist attacks. this is an organization we have to be concerned about and it's growing exponentially in afghanistan. and this is the lesson -- this operation is well done. the president deserved significant credit with his team for taking this on. but it also points to the fact that we don't have anybody on the ground in afghanistan where isis is growing. in syria we do. and that's only contributed to the information that we needed to deal with this target. >> brian: absolutely. general, i give the president full credit on that. too bad the president didn't give trump credit in 2019 when he killed baghdadi. called his did it in spite of ineptness. thanks for joining us. i appreciate it? >> have a great weekend, brian. you and the team. >> brian: absolutely.

meanwhile 27 minutes after the hour. a quick announcement. i hope you guys are going to be watching tomorrow. saturday night at 8:00. it's going to be one nation with me. brian kilmeade. amongst our guests jim justice and jeff van drew. talk about why they converted from democrat to republican and will they recognize the democratic party now? dana perino and bill hemmer will tell us what matters most and carley shimkus among the people who will be attending as we do a news duel. no one gets hurt and always surprises. coming up ahead on this show. a major winter storm slamming the u.s. bringing snow wind and ice. sounds like a rock group. creating a travel might mayor for millions. adam klotz is tracking a deadly tornado in alabama and president biden visited new york to take on violent crime. but did he strike the right tone in his messaging. our next panel will weigh in. e brand prescribed by cardiologists and has helped over one million people.

it was proven superior at helping people stay alive and out of the hospital. don't take entresto if pregnant; it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren, or if you've had angioedema with an ace or arb. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high blood potassium. ask your doctor about entresto.

>> ainsley: we begin with a fox weather alert. winter storm turning deadly. creating a tornado in central alabama. killing a woman and injuring several people there. hundreds of thousands of americans are now without power across several states. more than 130,000 homes and businesses in tennessee are completely in the dark.

and unfortunately, it's not over. the bad weather is heading up toward millions on the east coast, the northeast coast where the travel nightmare will soon begin. let's check in with adam klotz to be our fox weather forecast. adam. >> this is large slow moving storm. we have been following this since wednesday. one more day left slowly drag into the mid-atlantic, across the northeast. some areas where you will see the heaviest ice. not just ice but snow. these are snowfall totals so far columbia city, indiana u.s. is over 15 inches. i gray up 30 minutes down the road. ice may be more of a problem going forward. still large area where we are looking at blirnght weather alerts. still stretching from as far as south as texas, backs up into maine. really large area there your future track shows the slowly moving across the east today. your time stamp up in the corner. by the time we get into late this evening. overnight hours, we are mostly winding down with this one. but what is left with this system i do think ice is going to be the main concern in the

northeast. here is an area where you can see tenth of inch of ice bring down some trees and power lines. ice is something we will be watching throughout the rest of today. steve? >> steve: beware. adam, thank you very much. president biden yesterday met with new york city new mayor eric adams and governor kathy hochul to outline possible solutions to the surging crime problem here. but defunding the police not on the table. listen. >> the answer is not to abandon our streets. that's not the answer. we're not about defunding. we are about funding and providing the additional services you need beyond someone with a gun strapped to their shoulder. >> steve: and a lot about guns. our panel joins us right now. marisol sanchez lost her son j.j. to a shooting in new york last summer. retired sergeant betsy smith is the spokeswoman for the national police association. and pollster lee carter is the president of maslansky and

partners. good morning to all of you. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> good morning. steve sergeant, let's start with you, even though the president was in new york city, you know, this would have been his opportunity to re-set his crime agenda. you're in law enforcement. is that what law enforcement wanted to hear yesterday, what joe biden had to say? >> no, it's not what law enforcement wanted to hear. he talked very briefly about officers rivera and mora and their sacrifice and then he immediately went into talking about guns, gun, guns. we got to stop talking about guns and talk about criminality. he didn't talk about charles galloway the corporal murdered in texas by an illegal alien who moved back and forth across our southern border for decades. he didn't talk about sergeant manic in illinois murdered with her own gun. we need to talk about the lack of prosecution. we need to talk about criminals getting out on no bail or low

bail and running our streets. it's time to talk criminality and stop with the old tired talking point of background checks and ghost guns. and all the things he talked about yesterday. we have got to get serious about not just saving cops but saving our citizens from violent crime. >> steve: speaking of crime, we have got a graphic that shows here in new york city, grand theft auto is nearly up 100 percent. transit crimes on subways, buses up 70. grand larceny up about 60%. robbery up 33%. and shooting incidents up 32%. marisol, you lost your son, j.j., last year. you have been on this program and you told us about what happened. it's just terrible. i'm sure you have played through your head a million times what if, what if, what if something would have happened that would have prevented my son from being in the wrong place at the wrong time would w. that guy with the other gun that killed him? what did joe biden need to say

yesterday and you are disappointed he did not? >> it's like the previous person just said. he was just talking about guns, guns, guns, there is really no resolution. we need help in these communities. we need support in these communities. we need more officers out here tackling outline types of criminality. it's so many different people being affected by what's going on at the moment that you know, it's disturbing. it's hurting. and, again, we need more policing in these streets. we need officers to be out here. right now, you know, you walking around and i have literally seen people walking around with guns. and it's like a new norm right now. it's scary. >> steve: you are absolutely right. >> you don't know what to expect. can you just walk to your car. you can walk to the store. you can just be taking a brief walk because you want to be outside and something can happen to you.

it's so many issues going on right now. and, you know, it's just -- it's not just about guns, but we need officers out here like, you know, i don't believe in defunding the police. i think that they should be out here supporting us. we need it. we need them to engage with the community. we need a lot of support right now. >> steve: right. >> i didn't hear none of that. >> steve: lee, we have just heard from law enforcement. we have heard from a victim's family. i got a feeling that the great crime re-set did not happen yesterday. when it documents a messaging point of view for the president. >> yeah, there is no question about it. and in five in six americans feel worse off right now. only have a 24% approval rating when it comes to people's opinion on crime. he has got a 69% disapproval rate when it comes to gun violence. nothing that he said yesterday was new. there's nothing that he told us about guns, about the way he is

going to treat police. about the way he is going to deal with any of the issues that are making people feel unsafe that has changed anything. there was no big reset. this is a speech that was very much the right place at the right time with the wrong tone and the wrong message. i don't think this is going to change anyone's mind. and i think people are really looking for leadership right now. they are going to make them feel safer in their cities, in their homes. and this certainly didn't do it. >> steve: well, unfortunately, your opinion is shared by many. great panel discussion today. thank you very much sergeant betsy bratner smith, marisa and lee carter. we thank you very much. >> thank you. >> marisol sanchez i should have said. >> yes. thank you. >> steve: thank you. all right, 21 minutes before the top of the hour. nba super star shaquille o'neal shares his thoughts on covid vaccine mandates. >> but there are still some people that don't want to take it you shouldn't have to be forced to take something that you don't want. >> no, it's not forced.

>> good morning. >> good morning. >> ainsley: will, you are a sports guy. what was your reaction. >> will: brave show of independence. not unexpectedly. i thought the rest of that discussion was pretty fascinating. shaquille went on to say employers can set for certain rules for their employees. i think the question becomes should you enforce certain rules? should you create certain rules? and the co-host there that you i have heard, i think it's michelle turner from entertainment tonight says you need to do this. we need create this force in order to protect our people. so you are not so selfish. it's amazing how much condescension and ignorance we have maintained through this entire pandemic. the fax to the extent protective is to protect you from severity or hospitalization or potentially death. the vax is not for other people. and that hasn't seemed to decline anyone's condescension. >> ainsley: rachel, how about you? >> rachel: yeah. listen, in china, the chinese

communist party uses jobs, opportunity, the ability to put food on the table. even your movement and travel on -- they incentivize it and punish it depending on whether you are a good little citizen who goes along with the communist party line and they keep track of that. and that's called the social credit score system. and that essentially is what this is and what you -- when you look at what is happening in canada, ainsley. the people there will tell you this isn't just about the vaccine mandate. this is about that many people, i think, rightfully believe that this is the beginning of a chinese communist style social credit score system where your freedom, your ability to do -- go about your life and live your life is being monitored by the government and it's -- and your ability to do things that you want to do whether it's your job, your movement, your travel, are all being incentivized and the government gets to tell you whether you can do it or not depending on if you follow the rules. i think it's really scary.

and i'm glad shaq is standing up. he is pretty rich. he has that kind of f.u. money. a lot of oother people don't have that kind of luxury. and we all -- all three of us on this panel know people who took the vaccine who didn't really want to but did it because they needed to put food on the table. >> ainsley: that's right. most of us have to have that paycheck. rachel, i will start with you on this topic because you are from the wisconsin area. seven national guard members in risk have -- 70 have been -- they have gone through this certified nursing assistant course. and they are being deployed to alleviate all the staffing shortages going on. what's happening in wisconsin? is it because of the vax mandate that these healthcare facilities have? >> rachel: yeah. i know lots of nurses in central, northwestern, northeastern wisconsin. many of them are a fertility age. they did not want to take this vaccine. some of them were even in fertility treatments and being forced to take the vaccine or they were nursing and they didn't want to take the vaccine. so a lot of nurses are young

women who are either, you know, have our moms or want to be moms. they didn't want to take it and they quit. and they are in other professions. we have interviewed them, ainsley, many times on our shows. many wonderful nurses who had to leave the field. build back better isn't working so great, i guess. >> ainsley: okay. well we are excited about your all shows this weekend. what's coming up this weekend? >> will: watch your co-host this weekend. that means ainsley we have got brian kilmeade. he can't sleep in one morning. dan bongino, congressman lance gooden and phil robertson will be on the show. >> ainsley: we look forward to it have a great weekend. >> rachel: you, too ainsley. >> ainsley: vice president harris is shrugging off blame for the border crisis. who is she blaming for the inaction now? and you can win big with fox bet. tim shillue is live next with how you can take home the price.

>> put on your child's door the reason you love them. 14 hearts, cute, right? >> steve: nice. a month of love. meanwhile, it could be a morning of pain, 28 minutes from now, the january jobs report will being released by the bureau of labor and whatnot and it could be the worst government report in years. >> we might see loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs. >> brian: peter doocy joins us live at the white house. they might have to use the minus sign. >> peter: white house officials get access to the data day before it goes public. officials are not going to be surprise federal it is a bad number in less than 30 minutes.

>> press sect. psaki: jobs report may show job losses because workers were out for jobs due to omicron. >> peter: projection is for low jobs added, adp that processes payroll says to expect 301,000 jobs lost, that is half a million jobs moving the wrong way f. that happens, the cnn headline says it all, america's economic recover beto go into reverse. there are other ways to look at it. axios says get ready for a messy jobs report. baton rouge business review says hot mess. this could continue. fewer people are satisfied with the economy per gallup, just 33%, down 35 points since 2020. this report could challenge

president biden's insistence that the biden economic plan is working and we'll hear from him about what he thinks in about 2-1/2 hours, when he talks about the jobs report at the white house. back to you. >> steve: see peter, the president yesterday talked about crime, reluctant to talk about the border, border out of control, crime out of control, inflation out of control, now jobs. what is the bright spot for the white house? >> peter: the way they say it, they have gotten a lot of people vaccinated and they keep going back to the american rescue plan, like now there is a problem with crime. well, look at the american rescue plan we passed a year ago, there is left over montow help with crime. that would be probably one of the bright spots. >> steve: stand by for that. >> brian: certainly didn't help with inflation. thanks, peter. >> peter: many experts continuing contributed to inflation, they pumped money in

with nothing down the road, no invest nment anything, it was cash and that was it. >> steve: right. thanks for wearing red, peter. >> peter: certainly. >> bring in geraldo rivera, red, too. >> hi, ainsley earhardt. >> brian: he says hello to yo >> he's my buddy. >> steve and peter together. >> we're proud of him. geraldo uses to lich in the city, moved out, one of the smart ones. crime so bad here and the president came to speak to the mayor yesterday. he said i'm not for defunding, in the past he said he was for redirecting the money. de blasio cut 1 million from the police budget, two officers we

buried in our city last week and many criticizing the president for not talking to their families, not going to the funerals, for not mentioning this d.a., the new d.a. we have. here is a little of what he said yesterday and we'll get your reaction on the other end. >> president biden: first, we want to crack down on the forums used for violence taking on shutting down rogue gun dealers, about doing background checks and out-right selling of making sure people who are not allowed to have a gun don't get the gun in the first place. for the press, this doesn't violate anybody's second amendment right there is no amendment that is absolute. when the amendment was passed, it didn't say anybody can own any kind of gun and any kind of weapon. you couldn't buy a cannon when this amendment was passed.

nobody should be able to buy certain assault weapons, that is another issue. >> if you walk in a store and rob with a gun and don't shoot anyone, you don't go to jail in the city right now. >> the president is missing the mark going after second amendment and guns, they are important and i'll get to that. something else is happening, we have suffered the absolute traum ark the gut-wrenching trauma of two young officers, mora and rivera being shot down, losing their jobs and being avenged by a rookie officer fired at this maniac who had a glock with extended magazine, pumping our dead officers filled with bullets after they had been slain or mora's case clinging to life. it is horrible what happened. democrats have totally missed the boat when it comes to relations with law enforce sxment forgotten the first rule

of government is you have to keep your citizens safe. since the george floyd riots, there has been a switch and defund the police and this nonsense and excoriating the police and defaming the police. the death of the hero officers was a landmark nobody could ignore. the president came to new york and i take him at his word he wants to help mayor adams, who is a wonderful person to be in this job at crucial juncture. i like the mayor very much and hopefully biden will listen to adams and do something practical like allow some of these federal assets to help local law enforcement and read the riot act to the d.a.s. >> brian: we are hopeful for mayor adams, where was the courage to in front of the president, use the president's clout and power to say what he said the other day. we have to get rid of no cash bail and give judges the ability

to use their judgment to decide if they would-be suspect is a danger to soap and should be locked up? if he said that, it would have forced the presidency to get on board or jump off board, that would be courage. >> what i think, brian, we are easing in new york, ease intoing a return to the broken windows philosophy of policing. we are going back to the because of the public outrage and the fear, the fear that has permeated so much of my beloved hometown, i think because of these things, we are headed toward a much stricter, first of all, a lot more love shown the cops and not more recognition that the thin blue line separates us from civilize sxagz anarchy. i think with the cops empowered, we'll go back to some broken windows policing tack ticks like stop, question and frisk. like the plain clothe anti-crime

units on the streets. the gloves are off now in new york. turnstyle jumpers will be prosecuted. fort bragg has been read the riot act, he gets on board or he'll be a goner and i think the city roused itself to fight back against this plague, this horrifying plague of violent crime. >> steve: sure, the president was in the right place at the right time with the wrong message. talk about his number two, kamala harris looking for a new speech writer, because yesterday she became the latest staffer to say, so long, i'm leaving at the end of the month. "washington post" says she's notoriously hard to work for and insiders have said she inflicts constant soul-destroying criticism on her staff. so far door dash, good banner. >> don't want to work for her. >> steve: it is part of her reset now, she has a bad image.

they had her go on telemundo yesterday, the reporter had a great question. listen to the answer regarding immigration and our southern border. >> election is hard in a couple month's time, you are aware the border will be an issue in the coming elections and also president biden promised immigration reform and hasn't been able to deliver. why would you say latinos should vote for the democrats this november? >> first piece of legislation that sent to congress was immigration reform. literally it was our first initiative to say we must have, it passed for citizenship. the problem is congress is not acting. we must create a pathway to citizenship. this should not be partisan. we should not allow republicans or democrats, if they stand in

the way, to get away with this as part of the issue. >> brian: she's saying day one, they sent a list to congress, do this list of stuff. one was fix immigration, she's blaming congress. that day the democrats held the house and the senate and they did nothing. rather than blame congress, blame her own party. >> it was all, steve, gobbly-gook. it was appalling, embarrassing, she didn't talk about solving the problem, she talked about exacerbating the problem f. her main message to all the poor, the hungry issue the tired masses yearning to breathe free is come to america, there is a pathway to should thesship. there will be no immigration system, it will being first-come, first-serve, everybody in the world wants to live in america. you need regulation. you need a system that works. you need one that rewards people

about 10 months ago. i learned he was from the community he was protecting and serve nothing and a product of his community and he humbly went to uc berkeley, and had the opportunity to do everything in his life he wanted to do, but was so humble enough he chose to work in the same community he grew up in los angeles in south central los angeles to give back and he was so senselessly taken on january 10 by savages who really should not have been on the streets. >> ainsley: angela, you were looking to buy a house for your boyfriend and his family, y'all were there sdpth there was gang activity. you were held up at gunpoint, i

am sure that was scary. i know you are limited because this hasn't gone to trial yet. was he worried about soft on crime policies? >> he was -- his concern was always about how he would arrest certain individuals and criminals and the fact they would be released within hours. that was a big concern for him. it was a frustrating one, as well. >> ainsley: i can't imagine what you are going to, he was going to turn 28 next week. was he a father? >> no. >> ainsley: you know you had a life planned together, right? you dated for a year. >> we dated over a year, yes. >> ainsley: lieutenant, what did all the men say that were at the funeral and heard your speech? we are hearing similar speeches at funerals here in new york. >> well, you know, i just was fortunate enough to make an

not sure why we have explosion of 467,000 jobs, it does run counter to what we were expecting. we thought covid or omicron would be keeping millions of people home and they would not be at work and that would be jobs lost. didn't work out that way. i'm sure millions are home suffering from omicron and these figures were taken in january, overall number was still way up there. i can explain one thing here, unemployment rate went up from 3.9 to -- it went up. if you are home with omicron, you are hourly worker, you are classed as unemployment, that is why unemployment rate went up and overall number of jobs went up 467,000. >> steve: i'm in contact with the -- the labor participation number went up.

last month it was 68 ninety and now -- now perhaps the fact we're getting out from under the omicron thing, people are saying, i feel safer, i can go back to work. >> stuart: i would like to encourage that, we have this johns hopkins report early ther week that lockdown and closure his no impact on the death rate and causing great harm to the economy. what we should be doing is opening up more, drop restriction e strikzs and open up the economy and get more jobs going and get the economy to boom. at the moment, the economy is slowing down a little, if we remove the restrictions, covid restrictions, we would speedup, steve. >> steve: and we could talk about inflation from now until sunday. we talked about that before, but stewart, knowing your love of food, i wanted to have you weigh in on the fact that here in new york city issue starting today, the mayor, who is vegan is
