and buy new one. gold is a good thing to get today. >> ainsley: save all your jewelry from high school boyfriends and go melted it down. >> steve: talk about stuff in the news. you know, we are on the right side going down on the omicron. the number of cases is going down, thankfully. but here's the thing. there is still a lot of mask mandates in various localities. and we have got some images to show you of these democrat lawmakers who are behind the mandates but apparently when it comes time for them to actually take part in them, they don't do it. >> ainsley: there are several people we are talking about. there are these democrats who say rules for thee but not for me. one of them is congressman jamaal bowman, he represents new york. he is democrat. he was here at a high school not wearing a mask on january 31st. nine students pictured arranged him. they are all wearing a mask. this is new rochelle high school. new york has mandate. all public schools you have to wear a mask even if you are

outside on the playground. he tweeted out on february 3rd. mask up. stay safe and get boosted. three days later on february 5th he goes to the west chester jewish counsel gailla. when we asked for a comment he didn't respond. >> brian: stacey abrams she wants to be the next governor of georgia. she still says she won the 2018 elections. she has no problem doing this. sitting there with a bunch of looks like third graders or second graders or first graders sitting them there with them without a mask on, big smile on her face. here is a quote from lauren groh of swox person for abrams. she tries to explain stacey abrams approach here. stacey supports science and masking in schools and is the current cdc recommendation. she wore a mask to the event. they removed it at the podium -- she wasn't at the podium there. she is sitting on the floor. could be heard by students watching remotely and for photos but only with folks who were masked. so really those folks were protected from her?

this is unbelievable. because cases haven't just dropped a little bit dropped 58% in 49 states. hospitalizations dropped 23%. if you loor at lithuania, spain and u.k. you look at -- you look at australia, they are all walking back these mandates. we thinking it. but now they are taking their time here many cases to defying the supreme court in their sense we should push it back and put it back in parents' control like they do in virginia, like they do in new york. this is something that is just outrageous. they have ignored what the johns hopkins has said about natural immunities. they have be egg joird about what johns hopkins has said about the effectiveness of masks and all the restrictions. ignored it this has got to change. >> steve: it's become political. it's been political for the last couple of years. shortly after that particular image of stacey abrams was at glenwood elementary school. as she was talking about her new

kids' book and the principal had tweeted that out. the republicans started attacking her. the principal deleted it and so did she. governor kemp. the republican, said this kind of hypocrisy is exactly why georgians see her campaign for governor for what it truly is. a quest for more power. and then kemp's rival in -- on the republican side. david perdue he attacked in kemp. he said it was a grace that you have to allow -- that schools still allow masks and then he attacked abrams saying hypocrisy knows no bounds. slicialg what we are seeing is seeing plain out what the mid term debate republicans efforts to roll back scene cools open help keep georgiaens economy flowing great and rebounded. meanwhile abrams and the democrats blame the rapid spread of coronavirus on kemp's inaction that's what they are going to do.

republicans said we opened things up. kept the economy alive. democrats are going to say more restrictions are needed. people don't want more restrictions. a brand new poll at the hac "the atlanta journal constitution" so of georgiasen of georgias only 13% think that coronavirus is the number one issue facing georgians, number one issue jobs. >> brian: 70% of americans want restrictions lifted live with the virus getting down to zero is not going to happen. ains ains they want their kids to go outside on the playground and not wear mask. democrats who edge force these rules. it's all about control. if you look at what is happening in california. gavin newsom is seen over and over at the game. at french laundrie without a mask eating indoors telling everyone not. to say also you have mayor garcetti. >> brian: don't worry he didn't breathe out. >> ainsley: he held his breath. stacey abrams down in georgia. it's just over and over and over.

and these new yorkers that are doing this it's hypocritical. >> brian: what about eric adams gone to little italy without a mask on. doublings down it prior to that. >> ainsley: 13 days after imposing school mandates on masks. >> steve: i seen in the daily mail former president barack obama apparently building a brand new mansion out there. everybody is masked up in hawaii except the former president and he looks like he is very concerned about how the sea wall is going. interesting thing about his new house out in hawaii. remember the show imagine mum p.i.? he actually bought that mansion, tore it down and is now building his own place. >> brian: right by the water. i guess he is not worried about global warming or creeping up of the seas. not worried about that. >> steve: got a big sea wall, he might be. >> brian: especially important, nobody thinks wearing a mask outside makes sense.

barack obama was actually right. everyone else should take their mask off. we found that out a year ago. why all of a sudden we are forgetting all of this stuff, people wearing a mask outdoors. >> ainsley: our kids have to, brian. >> brian: it's a joke. three weeks ago they said cloth masks don't work. they keep you 5% safer. not worth the risk when you talk about emotional and mental illness that questions along with this. and as marty makary said last night the kids are 99.3% not no danger of getting in virus jetee he we are destroying their lives. mandates in the school are a different thing. you hear from people say i don't want to put on my mask. i have had code twice. i'm double vaxxed and boosted. i'm not going to get this right now. i have chosen to that i can my mask off. if you go into a restaurant in new york city. your kids aren't allowed in there unless they have been

vaccinated and they have to wear masks to school and on the playground, down the sliding board and on the tire swing. >> brian: outdoors? >> ainsley: outdoors if you are on school grounds. >> steve: sure, one thing for us to decide what we want to do in our own home when we go out and there are these restrictions, that's why we showed you these hypocritical photographs of these democrats calling for the mandates. at the same time, rules for thee and not for me or as we heard in the cold open rules for d or not for me. >> or is it the other way around? it's the kind of conversation people across the country are having. how much longer for in? you know what? let's hope we are getting to the place where we're getting a little more back to normal. do you know what? one of the tells is that we are getting back to normal is because it sounds like the white house, given the fact that their numbers are under water it sounds like they are going to try to get the president and the vice president out of washington more they would only could that

in omicron is going down. that's a step in the rht direction. >> ainsley: coming up next. the crime crisis getting so bad. listen to this. even our bus drivers in america's biggest city asking for bullet proof vests. >> brian: new fears that china will keep tabs on olympic athletes long after the games are over. they will collect information on young people not only digital footprint that they have in place but they will collect the d.n.a. from athletes. it this will be stored in the military's data bases for years to come. >> brian: will the olympics finally exbose the communist country's human rights abuses question mark exclamation point ♪ thunder ♪ thunder ♪ entresto is the number one heart failure brand prescribed by cardiologists

>> ainsley: is that next year because we would get to go. excellent. >> steve: now got something for 2023. yesterday afternoon here in new york city up on the northeastern portion of the island of manhattan is harlem. there were people shooting at each other about 2: 30 in the afternoon in harlem. when it was all done, another metro bus had been hit. and you can see the -- the "new york post" has a great shot bullet hole that actually went into the bus it narrowly missed a rider. here's the thing. this is the fourth time in six months where people in buses have been, you know, threatened. and there is a hole right there. so now, just imagine driving the bus up front the bus operator. now according to the union that represents them. some of the bus drivers are saying you know what? maybe we should have bullet proof vests because it's so

crazy. i was talking to a mom who sends her kids to school on a new york city bus. and i said are you thinking about a bullet proof vest for your child? and she said i haven't thought about that. but i am considering looking into those bullet proof backpacks ask my son which of these do you like it can't hurt. >> ainsley: as a result of no one want position ride the subways they are not safe. riding buses now they aren't safe. people don't want to do ubers so expensive and raise the prices now they know everyone is trying to avoid the subway. >> steve: got us over a barrel. >> ainsley: six times shots fired at mta buses. came within inches of a passenger. 30 people on the bus. we were shaken and a local food worker said it was scary. i panicked. i didn't know what to do in the moment to run? i was paralyzed it happened so fast. i crept behind the counter everything happened so fast.

>> brian: 40 time a bus struck by gun fire. also dangerous and mentioned about the bullet proof vest. the other thing that's happening is more and more democrats looking around going i would like to be -- for example, i thought it was very interesting that governor eric adams. excuse me mayor eric adams said i'm a common sense democrat. kind of insulting and indicting on the rest of the democrats i have no common sense. he is disseminating himself from others. alec cause any is going further. he is a former democrat going to run again but this time as a republican which is shocking he said i can't believe what's going on with the democratic party. defund the police cancel culture. cancel culture. i think this is just the beginning. i think we will see a trend. i have tried i don't think can i change the democratic party from

the inside out. it's time to work from the inside. russian speak get back. evidence was caught up in some corruption. but is he free to run again. >> ainsley: a lot of people agree with him here in new york because they are moderates and they don't know where to go now. do we stay with our party that's gone so progressive jump ship and become republicans. in southern brooklyn there is a republican that beat the democrat by 30 percentage points. 3 eighth district for city council. she was a democrat registered democrat but she also switched. seeing what the democratic party has done tore our party and city the party resulting in out of control crime. homelessness, declining and shift towards socialism. i could no longer remain a democrat even on paper. >> steve: she won by 30 percentage points. exactly. keep in mind the russian speaker now running for his old job. they are redistricting his district. so, that is going on. that's what's happening with nicole malliotakis. and now it is suggested that maybe bill de blasio will run

for that because it includes now the town that he lives in. but, nonetheless, you know, here in new york city, other places. chicago, for instance, 20 shots over the weekend. three fatally. regarding those three murders, nobody is in custody. people all across the country are terrified. >> ainsley: soft on crime. >> steve: they don't feel safe. we have a panel from "fox & friends first" of parents who talk about how, you know, it's one thing to take care of your kids. can you take care of your kids at home. but, when they go to school. >> ainsley: i know. >> steve: you worry of the whole time. listen to this. >> new york city public schools are out of control because there is no accountability. the children know that they can get away with it. so they can attack and assault others. >> just can kept getting worse and all these fights at the school. and the fights were being on an app. and online. it was really disturbing and

really violent. >> children are being pepper sprayed. children are being literally beaten over the head and being vaped at the same time. and the doe does not have an answer for this. >> ainsley: there is a school. exactly right. manhattan middle school called 57 morton and students have a snapchat group there called 75 morton fights. they are posting pictures of stairwell incidents where they are yanking their hair and throwing bunches punches. a cafeteria bus stop beating. parents staying there aren't any consequences. if the kids can get away with something they do. instead of a punishment and suspension or expulsion. then they are just peacefully hashing it out. >> brian: meanwhile we have challenges here and getting cops out of school not a strong moment from bill de blasio. turns out he didn't have many over 8 years. let's fast forward over to the olympics right now. you know that oppressive regime which is china. they are hosting the olympics

which you know, again, they did it in 2008. but gotten much more -- they have been much more clamped down now we're here in 2022. now with the pandemic, raging, they have put the athletes in a bubble. and they have put teams in a bubble. you are really not allowed to go watch these games. you are not allowed to attend these games. if you are in these games you are constantly being tested and probed. if you test positive. the isolation is so stark they actually say it is like -- you are isolated in an asylum and many are going crazy for example. there are 350 players in these games, all different sports. one swedish journalist says he is sitting there this guy philip gold and he was whisked off to isolation in an ambulance because they thought he tested positive. they realized he didn't test positive. they let him out again. he thought he was in a sci-fi movie but athletes are describing this same experience. >> steve: the coach of the

finish hockey team was talking about one of his players has been in isolation for 18 days. and they say this: we know that he is fully healthy and ready to go and that's why we think that china, for some reason they won't respect his human rights from a medical perspective. we know that a person like this is no longer infectious. no danger to the team. we have heard that a million times. not apparently in china. these isolation decisions are not based on medicine or science. it's more cultural and political decisions. and the problem is, among other things, when they are in these special super isolated silos. >> ainsley: 14 hotels. >> steve: there is no good food. the water is questionable. and they are isolated and it's just beating the living daylights out of them mentally. okay. how much longer am i going to be here? i trained for five years. when am i going to get out? am i going to miss my event? there is a lot going on. >> ainsley: if you are showing symptoms you are taken to the hospital. if not placed in quarantine

hotels. this guy in there for 18 days. in america you are can walk out after five days as long as you test negative this one russian athlete says my stomach hurts, i'm very pale i have huge circles around my eye. not enough food. the food sin evident tillable no. training queement queement equipment. they just serve her plain pasta and orange sauce and charred meat on a bone few tomatoes no green. i start heating all the bones. this finish athlete the hoke guy his coach is speaking out. isolation 18 days. tested positive 6'8", 230 pounds and not getting great food and is he a very big guy. because he doesn't know what's going on and what will happen to him, it's like uncertainty such a bad thing also mentally. also this polish athlete. >> steve: that guy had been drafted by the blackhawks. >> ainsley: girl a polish athlete because she was showing

symptoms she didn't even realized they were going to do this. such a that in the particular experience i'm sitting in an ambulance. it is 3:00 a.m. i was crying like crazy. i did not know what was going on i did not feel safe at all. >> brian: mike pompeo basically saying i told you so. >> the reason i think our athletes should not have been put in this place is when enes freedom talked about burner phones and speaker pelosi said hey go over there and don't express your views of america as a great country, just be quiet because the chinese will pull you from the streets. we also know that they will collect information on these young people. not only the digital footprint that they have in place, why they are asking them to take burner phones like a drug dealer. we they will collect the d.n.a. from these athletes. this will be stored in chinese military bases and for years to come. no athlete should be subjected to that simply for the opportunity to demonstrate that they are a world class athlete and they want to compete against the best athletes in the world. >> steve: how would they be collecting the d.n.a. samples?

twice a day the covid tests. michael waltz spent $40,000 to bay commercial to run on nbc to refer to these as the genocide games encouraging people not to support companies that make stuff in china. he and enes kanter freedom who is also in the spot will join us just about one hour from right now right here on fox. >> telling you to take burner phones because the russians a could be listening to your phone calls, i mean the chinese could be listening to your phone calls. and then nancy pelosi saying if you are going, don't talk about politics. just do your job. perform. >> brian: you would think that these corporations would not want to be seen advertising in these games as not strong coke coca-cola and airbnb. georgia's law. okay in china with olympics. you have to wonder what the corporate strategy is there. >> steve: you can't figure they

are too happy about it because they have paid hundreds of millions of dollars for the rights to be olympic sponsors and nobody is watching. nobody is watching. >> ainsley: ratings so low. people not watching because they are boycotting, they are saying i don't want to support this. >> steve: maybe. no interest. just saying. all right. coming up on 6:30 here in the east on this monday. a surge in migrant crossings exposing the threat of cartels on american soil. the administration is blaming congress. >> the first piece of legislation that was sent to congress was immigration reform. the problem is congress is not acting. >> steve: congressman lance gooden with his plan to combat the border crisis. he is coming up next along with some great gifts on "fox & friends."

teghtses, nearly 3,000 pounds of fentanyl seized at the border since october. that's pretty much enough to kill everybody in the country with already half a million encounters in just the first quarter of this fiscal year. our next guest has a plan to help combat the crisis by defunding nonprofits working with the federal government. republican texas congressman lance gooden joins us now. congressman, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> so the way it works. people cross into our country and then they are processed by border patrol. next thing you know, border patrol hands them over to one of these ngos, nongovernment organization, and the u.s. government has got to deal with the ngo. okay. get them somewhere. here's a bunch of money. take them somewhere. >> that's right. hold them and take care of them until they are supposed to show up for their court date, which we all know they don't show up for. so what these ngos are doing are putting them up in a hotel for a few days and basically

saying where do you want to go and we will send you there. and catholic charities is the biggest villain of them all. jewish family council is another one. primarily at the southern border. they are taking in these migrants, they are sending them to whatever city they want to go to. they are giving them documentation and instructions for how to get past the tsa check point and then how to assimilate while they wait for their, quote: court date. and so what we're seeing is this incentive by the u.s. government to bring more migrants across the border. and they are encouraging human smuggling and trafficking what my bill would do say if you are engaged in smuggling and trafficking then we are going to defund you. >> steve: i think catholic charities would say we are not involved in human smuggling. we are just, you know, catholic charities has a historical precedent where they helped migrants for a very long time. unusual they are now being paid by the federal government to essentially do what the federal

government doesn't want to do. >> yeah, there is a perverse incentive to encourage just what they -- i believe, would say that they don't want to encourage and that's this human trafficking and smuggling. they are sending a message across the southern border to make the trip to the united states go and pay that could i oty, once you get here we will help you out with money and place to stay and navigate the system. >> steve: let's talk about a little bit at the southern border if it's not people it's drugs. the number of fentanyl seizures at our border is just through the roof. and when the administration turns a blind eye to the people coming across, congressman, you have quote to figure for every person coming across, you know, that is tying up the border patrol right here, could be two miles over there. the coyotes are bringing in a load of dope. >> that's right. and there is no way they can catch it all. i have visited the southern border. i most recently was at the port

of south of san diego. they are working so hard. but there is so much traffic. they are dealing with these caravans that are coming and flooding across the border. they have to process them. the dope is getting through. and then we have got folks like vice president kamala harris saying it's congress' fault. this administration had not undone the progress made under president trump then they wouldn't be sending this message to make the trip. if you are a cartel member then go ahead and continue trading and bringing your supplies to the u.s. border because it will get through. it's a real shame. >> steve: it gets through and the statistic is, i believe, fentanyl is the number one killer of americans between 19 and 45 years old, which is jaw dropping. >> yeah. it's a tragedy. it's sick. and the fact that folks like the catholic charities are involved is stunning to me. and i do believe we will stop that when republicans take over. i'm looking forward to oversight and the investigations and we're

going to be on offense. >> steve: all right. well, thank you very much, sir, for getting up early on this monday morning, lance gooden thank you, sir. russia builds up along ukraine's border. how did we wind up in this situation next guest says it comes back to putting america first. thieves making off with thousands of dollars of fancy stuff. but this isn't is in some big city as some may expect. america's crime crisis is spreading to the suburbs. ♪ - i'm norm. - i'm szasz.

our soldiers closer with less resources. we have to think how we got here, right? biden's ad hoc make it up as you go along policy has led to instability around the globe. if we had a president who put america first and strengthened our military here at home, we wouldn't see these types of issues. that's one of the reasons why i'm running for congress is to get accountability on these things. if you want to join me, can you go for hunt for georgia.com. join us and make a difference and start holding some of these defense officials accountable. >> brian: to see ukrainians with wood guns know we could get them guns and they obviously don't have enough, and they want to fight for themselves. it's all they are asking for. give them the armament to fight for themselves, they should not be is i sitting there playing war. they should be able to fight a war. jeremy, best of luck in your quest. thank you. >> thank you. >> brian: all right. meanwhile, ashley strohmier has the other breaking news, hey,

whole. >> ainsley: what are you going to do? are you going to have to close down these stores if you continue to see sales go down that much? >> no, we are going to keep trying everything we can to keep bringing more and more new customers. i mean, we are -- we are going to try everything we can we is have donated 20,000 healthcare meals. we have a dog menu that serves almost 80,000 dogs since we started that we are a creative group here hospitality industry. we are not going to go down without a fight. so, you know, we are going to continue to try to drive in more and more customers into the city of minneapolis and our restaurants keep doing whatever we can to keep the lights on. >> ainsley: doug, you live in boston. it's cold outside. people want to go indisoors with their families. you own 8 different restaurants. how are these mandates affecting you? >> we are losing business and bookings and we're in very close proximity to cambridge and summerville, are which are communities that do not impose a

vaccine mandate. the campaigns were announced in december. we are in a very different place right now from where we were in december. it's time to lift these mandates. we are losing a lot of business and our guests are prepared to do indoor dining. they feel safe. but when a large party is going out. even if one person is not vaccinated. they are going to a different community. they are not coming in to boston. >> ainsley: it's a double whammy not only are your employees zooming with kids sometimes. at home also losing money and losing customers. michael, how about you? how is it affecting your restaurant in sacramento? >> well, right now, i'm down about 30% also. people are scared still. you know, they come in with these masks. like i tell them, i tell people, you know, when they come in with a mask they have a choice, you know. they can come in, i don't make my employees wear a mask.

and you know, basically if they don't -- it's your choice, you know. i have people that keep coming in with 2 masks and a shield and gloves and then they want to know if we're vaccinated. they want to see our vaccination card to prove it. >> ainsley: these are customers. >> these are customers coming after my staff, absolutely. >> ainsley: how do you feel about what's happening in your state? you have your leadership in san francisco, the governor, l.a., they are being caught without their mask but they are telling you have to wear them. >> hypocrisy is outrageous. i mean, everybody is upset. you know, how can you follow a leader that doesn't follow their own examples. do you know what i mean? >> ainsley: how will you be able to survive? >> good question. i can't live just on my takeout alone. people are still -- luckily i

day of february. >> ainsley: i'm looking at pictures of lebanon. a great little playground here and some water. another playground. this would be good to raise a family. look at this playground, looks like a castle. >> steve: in tennessee no taxes. even better. >> brian: everyone seems happy there that's probably the most important thing. meanwhile, let's talk about politics, pure politics where it's gerrymandering or 2022. looking back at january 6th. that is indeed in the news. one thing is pretty clear, the vice president harris, you could say, has off to one of the worst starts of any politician in a major forum. maybe in american history. outside of maybe the rough start that dan quayle had. so she wants to start over again and the story in the "l.a. times." >> ainsley: don't call it a reboot. vice president harris is reportedly making changes to try to turn her team around as another staffer leaves what's being called a toxic work environment. >> steve: mark meredith joins us live from outside the white

house where indoors people are talking about it's not a reboot. it's more like chapter 2. >> steve, that's right. good morning to you guys. probably warmer inside as well than it is out here. happy monday to you. as you mentioned we have seen a number of high profile departures from the vice president's office. including one just announced last week. this one being her chief speech writer. the vice president's office confirming that this person will be leaving but not necessarily leaving the administration. her departure at least the 7th high profile v.p. staffer to move on. we have seen changes in everything from the pr department to legislative aides. examined the vp performance paper interviewing friends and former advisers who say they believe harris is improving on the job they are hoping early ms. steps aren't going to be repeated going forward. even harris back in september shrugged off the idea she sun prepared. >> i don't believe i'm being set up to fail. i'm vice president of the united

states. anything that i handle is because it's a tough issue. and it couldn't be handle at some other level. >> the issue the vice president currently has on her plate include the border crisis, election reform, what's going on in space. access to expanding broadband and what's impacting small businesses. later this morning she will be sitting down with president biden to get the security briefing. all eyes on what's going on with russia and potential war with ukraine. steve, ainsley and brian, a lot of changes though. the vice president's office says they remain focused on the job. back to you. >> steve: that's right. mark, don't call it a reboot. call it chapter 2 although really it's a do-over. in that "l.a. times" allergy one of the positive developments is the fact that the administration is forecasting the covid is going to be receding a bit. that means they can actually leave that building behind you and she will be sent out across the country to talk up what the administration has done so far. >> steve, the other x factor in

that is the midterm election. have to get out of d.c. save the house and senate for democrats no. bay tells do it unless you get out on the road and stump for candidates need help especially with fundraising. you talk about hitting the road. i know we are still seeing the president to get out there once a week. see where he will go this week. a lot of people will be very egoy to see if there is a change in strategy. you brought up one good point i know it's quick. mentioned with the virus receding. last summer that was the case. remember we saw that right around the fourth of july closer than ever to declaring independence. all hell broke lose. we will have to see what the year really does look like. harris' staff and informal advisers say she will be back out on the road. steve, ainsley and brian? >> steve: go back inside it was warm. >> brian: there was a time in american history president and vice president were picked for be convenient purposes no. resource. points out seems like a natural

talking about criminal justice reform to lean to her because she was attorney general. they don't. they don't look to her. the thing is, if i'm her, whatever you give me i'm looking to hit out of the park. i know if i do this well i could distinguish myself from a 78-year-old president who is clearly not on the top of his game. i could be the gold star. but, answering questions like what's happening at the border by saying why offered and made immigration reform our first thing and congress didn't take it up. that's the most ridiculous answer to what's going on at the border than i can imagine. someone who actually hats that portfolio doing a terrible job and just reaffirmed why. ainsley ainsley think about first african-american female vice president. she had an opportunity maybe to do a great job. and maybe run for president one day. but when you watch her in these view interviews and she gives the word salad answer when they

ask about the strategy or cackling doesn't know the answer. haven't gone to the border but haven't gone to europe either when she is a border czar. staffers talks six work environment. not prepared. clean up for green light for cheryl la main that god interview. who is the real president joe manchin or joe biden. you know i need to end this interview. her french ache sent. it's just one thing after another when she has an opportunity to really do so much good for our country she is super progressive, too. >> steve: let's see what her next assignment is. so far it has not turned out well for her. meanwhile, "special report" from the border. this is a "new york post" exclusive. angie wong spent three days at our southern border. the headline is deal with the devil. what they're talking about in part is,-this is something i didn't realize. she talked about how she spoke to mark morgan, used to be the border patrol guy before trump

and before that obama as well. the border patrol now will coordinate with the coyotes and cartels on where they are going to drop people off. >> ainsley: coordinate with the cartels. >> steve: yes. how crazy is that. in the past with large groups they would cross without notice. and take the agent two days to process. they didn't -- it takes too long. it's too complicated. they want to avoid scenes of children being dropped over fences. and make things safer but, unfortunately, by coordinating with the cartels, it makes the cartels' jobs easier and much more lucrative. >> ainsley: they are making the money and you are footing the bill, the taxpayer. >> steve: we are working with the cartels, that's the headline. holy cow. >> brian: here she is. one of her quotes from the column on the front page of the "new york post" today. i spent three days on want the front lines of the biden administration illegal found a border patrol changed from enforcement agency to a concierge service.

pipeline of migrants fueled by coyotes and embedded by liberal nongovernment organizations. these so-called ngos they enter the nation in droves. many will likely never return to the countries they have left. and it's just stunning. because lance gooden has said in the past. finds out this is a u.n. operation that they are funding. almost urging people to come across the border. the word is out now is the way to come. they are advertising in these countries for this. and our vice president goes down there and says they have got private industry like master card to give money to honduras and acts like she is solving the problem without using any leverage of any of the american aide to say you are not getting it unless you rein in your own population. 80 countries represented at the border even in the last few months. >> ainsley: in the article it talks about not only giving them food and shelter and clothing but in some cases cell phones for them to call relatives and they can keep the cell phones.

they are saying they are watching people get on flights going to houston, atlanta, newark, jfk. he talked about how there were some girls that were given clothes and they went into the bathroom and they changed into like street clothes and they took off those bands on those arms. and those bands indicate that they have paid the coyotes to bring them over the border. >> steve: right. angie wong actually flew with these migrants various opportunities towns around america to see how they integrate into society. one of the factors is after, according to this article, the border patrol coordinates with the cartels and the people come across and they are processed. then the government essentially hands them over to these nongovernment organizations. and they figure out how to get them into all parts of the united states of america. so, the federal government is paying catholic charities and other groups like that to facilitate what they just don't want to do. we asked lance gooden a congressman from down in texas

with us earlier, and he has a bill to defund those nonprofits when they encourage illegal migration like what's going oner day on our southern border. listen. >> at the southern border, they are taking in these migrants. they're sending them to whatever city they want to go to. they are giving them documentation and instructions for how to get past the tsa check point and then how to assimilate while they wait for their, quote: court date and so what we're seeing is this incentive by the u.s. government to bring more migrants across the border. and they are encouraging human smuggling and trafficking. what my bill would do is say if you are engaged in smuggling and trafficking then we are going to defund you. >> steve: right. he says he doses not think under nancy pelosi where the democrats have control of the house it, will not pass; however, if republicans take the house come a year from now, look for that to change.

>> ainsley: democrats areup set. most of them are upset with joe manchin and with kyrsten sinema. a lot of times they are siding with the republicans. they are middle of the road democrats, moderate democrats and joe manchin was interviewed about this. working with republicans and standing his ground on being a moderate. listen. >> i'm not a washington democrat. >> i'm a good old west virginia democrat. who likes all my west virginia republicans. and i know that i have to have their input for us to get good outcome for our west virginia citizens we represent. we have a lot of friends who are theriault typed washington republicans. okay. there are alaska republicans and there are all different republicans that represent state. never forget where you came from. never forget how work for. never forget your purpose of being here. and i have always said this i want to make sure i take carol of my country. i'm an american before i am anything. i'm an american first. i'm so proud of my country and the opportunities i have had. i am also here to do a job for the people of west virginia. they are my employers. >> brian: i don't know a more important politician in the

country right now than him. he just held to his values. he is center left. is he not center right. he is not center way left. is he getting vilified for it he could not care less. he knows he is doing the right thing. build back better. what about it? it's not a program it will change america. let it go through the committee process. let it change. we are in the majority and see how it goes once we debate it but i can't do this top down reboot on an entire spending program the way this country operates more socialist. he also said i'm going to endorse senator lisa murkowski a republican. even though president trump hannity because president trump at any time like that she on the didn't go along with him. maybe she voted with him 85% of the time. president trump has a candidate. joe manchin says i'm voting for her. you when you are up i'm voting for you. goes to show you certain people who believe that the democratic party has left them. >> ainsley: he said we are good

friends. we have gotten a lot accomplished together. i don't care if you have a d or r beside your name. if you are willing to work with me and we can get some things done together for the people i'm willing to support you. >> steve: she is one of seven republicans who voted to convicts donald trump during the impeachment trial after the january 6th riot at the capitol. she is the only republican senator facing re-election this year. the former president has endorsed a former communication -- former administration official by the name of kelly shabacha for that particular job. what's interesting in the soundbite joe manchin said i'm not a washington democrat i'm a west virginia democrat. the current governor of west virginia was a democrat, jim justice, now he's a republican. he explained on your show this weekend why he left the democratic party. watch this. >> the party left me. i worked really really hard on getting a budget passed.

i went back and forth between the democrats and brucks over and over and over. i finally got it where it was really great for everybody. but especially great for the democrats. and then they just drove in the ditch. i made the decision really quickly. you know, really after seven months of this. there is no way in the world i'm going to sit down here just to play games. i wanted to get something done. so, really, you know, i went home, i walked talked to my wife. i said i can't take this i just cannot take this. >> steve: because they dove in a ditch. >> ainsley: i wonder if we'll see more of this. think about long island d.a.s running in election the republicans won long island suffolk and nassau county. >> brian: there was a time only one republican congressman on long island peter king. now that dramatically changed including laura kern lost the nassau county executive position even though she is a moderate. bruce blakeman came in and ran as a republican and he walked away with a victory.

so he -- and now he is the one saying i'm going to give the people of nassau county a choice when it comes to masks in schools and things to that nature. that's another thing. jeff van drew was also somebody who switched parties. ran as a republican and won. but i thought the republicans made a huge mistake over the weekend. or making those comments on friday. trying to justify january 6th. and bringing up 2020 again. they spent all the weekends beating up on republicans on all the sunday shows even though there are so many ripe topics for republicans to go after. instead end up looking back at 2020 election. which i don't think anybody wants to review anymore. >> steve: nonetheless, the big news is joe manchin has endorsed the senator from the great state of alaska. >> brian: they are about to do something else bipartisan. that's electoral college reform. they are working on that bipartisan way it's going to get done. >> steve: mitch is behind that 7:17 in the east time now for news and hashly joins us now. >> ashley: good morning. start with this in chicago

>> ainsley: republican congressman michael waltz and nba star enes kanter freedom an ad calling out china. >> world's greatest athletic showcases but just outside the show rape, genocide, slave labor, american companies are drunk on chinese dollars. entangled with communist dictators committing atrocities and propping up these genocide games. staged by the chinese communist party. and what can we do? >> stand for freedom. defund the dictators. when you see made in china. >> put it down. >> steve: those two men behind the ad enes kanter freedom and michael waltz join us live. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. good morning. >> steve: congressman, let the's start with you why do you call these the genocide games? >> well, the chinese communist party has over a million muslim uyghurs with their heads shaved loaded into railcars sent off to

concentration camps, the women are separated and forced to be sterilized if they are pregnant they go through forced abortion. there is a mass rape campaign going on and then they are sent out to labor camps that's making a lot of the products and lot of the supply chains for companies that americans know all too well. those same companies are now sponsoring these olympic games. they shouldn't be. our athletes shouldn't be there at all. and we want to bring awareness to the world of what is going on that these companies and everybody participating are complicit in what has been labeled by the trump administration and the biden administration as an ongoing genocide. this is like hosting the game in germany in 1940 or rwanda during their ethnic genocide. it's disgusting. these companies are complicit and we are going to call them out. >> ainsley: ennis, how do you feel about this you just became an american city changed your

last name including the name freedom which is beautiful. you are not even allowed to go back to turkey to see your family and you see what's happening in china. what's your reaction? >> i mean, it's heart-breaking you know what's happened over there everyone knows now is a brutal dictatorship. i think one thing we need to know, especially as an athlete call out dictatorships like it is. like congressman said. over maybe 2 million people are tortured and rape every day. and. >> brian: right. enes, could you run through the list of all the players that have joined you in this quest? >> fortunately there is not one athlete. not just nba or any of our organization, association join me. i was very hopeful. i still have some hopes that some athletes will be brave

enough to say okay, you know what? this is bigger than basketball and bigger than sports and i'm going to join. and no matter you know, unfortunate that right now there is fear. >> steve: enes, what did you make of the fact that the china had a uyghur skier as one of the people who brought out the flags in the very beginning? obviously they were trying to make it look like. >> brian: torch. >> steve: everything is fine. >> if you are asking me, [inaudible] they -- this athlete from speaking to any international press and avoid the press area after her event which she is required to at least walk by the ioc and not media and that's pretty much. >> ainsley: congressman, some of the big companies, nike, airbnb,

coca-cola a few advertising in china during the olympics. some of the logos were in your ad. the olympics not as many people watching this year. a drop of 43% on opening day compared to 2018. is that because people aren't interested because of what is happening in china? is this a boycott? >> >> you know i just overheard a friend of mine was in a fish camp in north florida and somebody asked the waitress to turn it onto the olympics and she said we are not watching the olympics, we are not showing it. we do not support genocide. look, the word is getting out. and people understand between covid being released on the world. chinese government covering up the origins of it. stamping out freedom in hong kong. threatening taiwan. and, of course, the genocide with the uyghurs and at this bet tans, the american people have a conscious they know what's right and wrong. these corporations that want to

preach social justice here at home and boycott baseball turn a blind eye when it comes to millions of muslims when it documents concentration camps in slave labor. again, it's hypocrisy we are going to call out. i just want to praise enes kanter freedom for taking a tough stand, so many athletes, hollywood, academia are not willing to put their career and money on the line. guys, i just want to show off real quick i have my nike air jordans like enes freedom has says made with slave labor. i'm going to channel my inner freedom on the capitol and everybody wearing these nike shoes need to know this was made with modern day slavery. >> brian: that's the half the size of enes' shoe. >> not as big. >> ainsley: nbc wanted you to change the ad, right? >> i mean congressman waltz.

>> go ahead, enes. >> i mean, congressman waltz. >> congressman waltz. go ahead. >> ainsley: enes? >> congressman waltz and i, you know, ad on nbc to raise awareness of the human abuses and the companies that are [inaudible] brutal behavior. we reserve the ad space tonight for monday. abc during the olympics. congressman waltz was informed by nbc they were not able to ad because of corporate logo. i think this is a form of censorship. we did not spread their logos because our legal team made sure everything in the ad complied by the nbc their guidelines. i mean, the bottom line is, nbc are afraid this corporate sponsor can preach social social

justice at home. will it's a shame. >> brian: nobody wanted the winter games. kazakhstan only other country to apply for it they gave it to beijing. they probably would have gave it to them anyway. wanted to cash in. >> brian: nbc says the ad was not rejected per nbc universal guidelines. changes to the ad were requested so it could air. i guess it was the taking down of the logos which you are not will to do. that was the whole point of the ad. enes, best of luck, celtics and michael waltz you are not a professional basketball player best of luck playing for the minority the republicans in the house. >> thanks so much, guys. >> ainsley: thank you. >> bye guys. >> steve: another case of covid hypocrisy. stacey abrams pictured maskless in atlanta while all the kids around her masked up. could this hurt the democrats come midterm time?

if you bring somebody some somy gas they are going to arrest you. >> a government all across the planet using the epidemic as an excuse to impose its will to try to coerce people into obeying. and you know, i think taking no prisoners. the fact is, you know, i would have thought the canadians had a long tradition of being relatively polite night people. now that you have truckers challenging the government. the government is acting ferociously. more ferociously than you would ever have for that kind of a protest in the u.s. which, to me is amazing. >> steve: no. i completely get that and the truckers say, newt, they are not going to leave until the mandates are lifted. >> well, i think, again, i think you are seeing this happen in country after country.

this stuff is all bologna. it's all about a power struggle and nothing to do with public health and nothing to to do with you as a person. it's all about the kids in the classroom. all of those kids coerced into wearing a mask which they don't need to be doing. meanwhile, as a powerful politician, she is sitting there with no mask because after all how could she get a good picture if she is in a mask? and you have seen this kind of hypocrisy over and over across the whole system whether the governor of california, you know, going to a football game without a mask while demanding that everybody in california wear a mask. but you do see all over the world, people getting fed up with governments that have become remarkably authoritarian and are willing to use their police powers to really go after people in a serious way. by the way, i think go fund me is now going to be investigated by at least three different state attorney generals because it took the money and then

didn't give it to the people it raised the money for. >> steve: go fund me said we are going to give it to other charities instead. and then there was blow back and it was okay we are just kidding. we will give you all the money back. newt, ultimately, how did this end in canada? they can't sustain this for long. i mean these truckers eventually are going to have to go back to work. >> depends on how mad the truckers get and also depends on whether other people start helping them. you know, there is a point -- did a movie about john paul ii going back to poland in 1979. there is a great moment where this person says when a million people came out for mass in warsaw we looked around and realized there were more of us than there were of the security guards all of a sudden we said why are we afraid of them? i think what you are going to start seeing happen is people are going to end up siding with the truckers against the government. >> steve: i have seen that

movie. it's great. let's see what happens in canada because, you know, we're getting to the place where something has got to give. and let's see what it is. newt, thank you very much for joining us live from d.c. >> thank you. good to be with you. >> steve: you bet. a dozen minutes before the top of the hour. ashley joins us with a fox news alert. >> we are going to start with this breaking right now. u.s. troops are running eastern poland. this as tension between russia and ukraine escalate. 1700 paratroopsers being deployed from fort bragg air base in north carolina. this all happening as white house national security adviser jake sullivan believes an invasion could happen any day. russia is assembling at least 7 percent of its military along ukraine's border. and spotify ceo is refusing to cancel joe rogan despite outcry over comments he made on his podcast. the ceo telling employees quote while i strongly condemn what joe has said and i agree with his decision to remove past episodes from platform. i want to make one point very

out excited then she opened read posted it and said it was a wonderful time, spectacular, delightful, outstanding bear then she got so much heat for it for not wearing a mask but all those little four and 5-year-olds binder have to wear masks but she doesn't. there were four pictures, three of them she was not wearing a mask. yesterday morning the principal's twitter was deactivated and abrams tweed was deleted. >> brian: we just got where they are going to announce the new york no masks as of first weekend in march. two more weeks, then toss the mask in the garbage. for schools. that's the key. spew on the 15th is where things change in new york city. speaking of new york city, congressman jamaal bohlman was up in new rochelle high school and he was also posting with students. the kids are all masked up and

he has not. keep an mood, new york mask mandate in all public schools in the state and new rochelle enforces. going back to stacey abrams, her spokesperson had to defend her. why could she break the rules? her spokes person says stacy trusts science and supports masking and schools according to cdc recommendation. she wore a mask to the event that removed it at the podium so she could be heard by students watching remotely and further photos but only with folks who are mask. in other words, a special exemption she's going to be able to take it off because she speaking. listen, a role as a rule. it should apply to everybody at all times, right? >> unless they know the rule is stupid and they're not going along with it and they're getting caught. >> ainsley: jamaal back to him commit that picture was from january 31st. the nine students at new rochelle high school.

but three days later he tweeted out on february 3rd make sure to mask up, be safe and posted on february 5th he was seen without a mask on twitter. when we asked them for a come and why are you telling us to mask up and you are not in everyone else's and he didn't respond. >> california's big movement these kids are not going to school and mask there told if you're not going to come to school and a must just come or turn around oakland unified school system you train coming you can get tossed up at a washington state same thing. these kids are in tenth and 11th grade. they know it's dumb, they know the hypocrisy that's happening, they know the risks out there. they know if they have underlying conditions. they're tired of walking around with this mask over their face that doesn't do anything on top of that then they're finally standing up and speaking out. >> ainsley: how about eric adams? he said all the kids have to be masked up on school property. even when you're out on the playground running around.

yet he was seen on arthur avenue, the italian area of the bronx in little italy up there, he was seen without wearing a mask. >> steve: even though there are indoor mask mandates in new york. jerry had to is running for congress in the great state of georgia and has this on what democrats do in the hypocrisy of what's going on with these rules. here is earlier on the show. >> it doesn't matter if you are republican, democrat, parents are best off at the covid hypocrisy. parrot there told me they are sick of the mask mandates. i'm of masking up my daughters to go on an airplane. it's gotten out of control. voters are going to show up to the polls and set a loud and clear message to democrat party that they have completely missed that. spew and i think everyone is frustrated and ready to take

them on. they just have to change the rules for everybody not be so selective about allowing certain people to do it. >> brian: because they don't work. the only keep you safe by 2%. they said that at john hopkins they said natural immunity should count. clamp towns and locked out all these preventative measures safe .20% of lives. if you counter that with all emotional and educational damage to these kids it does not add up. but nobody is covering that. although i did see a little bit of change on cnn at least they were asking questions about the hopkins study to other people. >> ainsley: it's really hard when you're a parent your child is learning to read and they need to see the mouth of the teacher with nine teaching sound and sight words. for two years they can't. ask any teacher they see kids falling behind. every child is falling behind because of all this. you have to weigh out your

risks. >> steve: when they go back to school and there's no masks very like it so much easier. meanwhile, the olympics are on. are you watching it? the answer is no for the most part. if you look at the ratings. >> ainsley: down 43%. >> brian: still 63 million people did watch. >> steve: but that's way down. now it's on -- >> ainsley: are people boycotting? >> steve: may be. people have had it up to here. you look at what's happening over there. remember covid came from china. when in china know they're trying to -- they don't want to whip through like wildfire through the yellow big village so if you test positive -- and they test everybody twice a day. if you test positive they immediately put you into a covid hotel. apparently the conditions are so stark, the food is terrible, the water is terrible. you just feel like you're going crazy.

so now particularly the coach of the defendant hockey team is accusing china of human rights violations because of what they are subjecting the athletes to you in isolation areas. >> ainsley: it's crazy when you hear of these stories. she's in one of these quarantine hotels you go to the hospital if you are showing symptoms. she said my stomach hurts, i'm hallock my future black circles around my eyes. i want this to end. i'm crying every day and i'm tired. they serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner the same thing, plain pasta, orange sauce, chard meat on a bone come a few potatoes commando greens. they are athletes. >> brian: michael waltz for the first time since we shouldn't be going to these games. it was clear they're going to the games and it was clear these so-called games were going to take place. he was pretty shocked that all these sponsors were happy to be there.

a lot of coca-cola and others had no problem condemning what they thought were bad election changes in georgia. they're perfectly okay with representing the beijing olympics in 2022. here is what they told us. unless you guys want to see the ads, first. here's the ad they cut that nbc is not airing. speak of the world greatest athletics showcase just the show american slave labor. american companies are drunk on chinese slave labor. what can we do? >> defund the dictators. put it down. >> brian: michael waltz spent $40,000 out of his own pocket in campaign contributions to pay for that ad.

we'll talk more on nbc in a moment. why does he call these the games? >> the chinese communist party has over a million muslim uighurs with their heads shaved and loaded into railcars sent out to labor camps. that's making a lot of the products and supply chains for companies that americans know all too well. those same companies are now sponsoring these olympic games. >> especially over 2 million people are getting tortured every day. >> ainsley: what they are doing to the uighurs over there and what they are doing to these women, sterilizing and making them not have their babies. >> steve: why are we having the olympics there? >> ainsley: even our own athletes are being told by

nancy pelosi just go there and perform and save anything. they responded, they say the ad was not rejected. per their advertising guidelines changes to the ads were requested so it could air and michael waltz said they wanted them to take out the sponsors and locals of all the people they are advertising like coca-cola and procter & gamble and airbnb, they said they were going to do that. i was the whole purpose of the ad. >> brian: and nolan's pro boycott. i'm surprised these companies would say this is what help they are bred to be a part of the olympics. but they are doing is advertising heavily on the ground in china selling their products and marketing the goods. >> ainsley: nobody's able to go, how much is really working? >> brian: i know. their way of handling it this is unbelievable. i love the way china handled this pandemic, they only had 4,000 deaths. i don't think many people believe that number. can we also bring up in the

conversation that they started the pandemic? it was there a virus that got out? they still haven't told us how we got it. instead of lauding them by having a zero covid policy, which i think nobody wants to subscribe to. b won the olympic games continue come i think we are just a three or four into it and it's going to go for a couple of weeks. meanwhile, something that goes on and on is the grand problem. in new york city we have details ad nauseam about how bad it has gotten. there was a bunch of people riding on a bus in harlem yesterday at 2:30 in the afternoon when a couple of guys outside on the street started shooting at each other. you can see right there one of the bullets went into one of the buses. just barely missed one of the writers. now the bus drivers are making a good point. this is the fourth time in six months that somebody with a god has shot up a bus. how about maybe it's time we are

outfitted in bullet proof vests. when you think about that, that's so crazy that you would have to outfit drivers in bullet proof vests to be safe to drive and the biggest town in america. that's scary. >> ainsley: what happened as so many people were riding the subway and have forever because of the lot cheaper to go all the way downtown if you live uptown. but then there was all this crime on the subways people being pushed in front become people are to scared to go on the subway. they're scared to take their computers on the subway. a friend says she usually takes her dog in the sub when she sat i'm scared somebody's going to grab my dog. so now they are taking buses. even parents but their kids on buses to go to school sometimes in schools are all over the city and some people are sending their kids to charter schools or private schools. now everybody is scared to ride these buses. the drivers want bulletproof vests. in the last six months we fed

four buses hit by bullets. there's a picture of the post of that bullet commits launched in the side of the bus. the one from the weekend. people on the bus were panicking. they were really scared. they were 30 people all the bus and they came from inches from hitting someone on love passengers. >> brian: some dangerous neighborhood to get caught in the cross fire. the whole front of the buses glass. meanwhile, the other big story over the weekend i interviewed justice andrew about why they switched from the democratic party. they are convinced the party has changed so dramatically it's one of the easiest decisions they have are made both got reelected as republicans. you saw joe manchin mention that also pities him a west virginia democrat. i'm not with these washington democrats have become. that's pretty much the story that alex burg is said.

in 2019 he got involved in a scandal in lost his seat. he wants to come back now and get his seat back. he's going to do it as a republican saying this, i can't believe everybody that's going on in the democratic party paired all the calls to defund the police. the people who provide safety to our constituents. i think it's just the beginning. i think we'll see the trend. i've tried for a long time but i don't think i can change the democratic party from the inside out. it's time to work from the outside. he's going to look at the republican nomination and run in new york. >> ainsley: he represents brooklyn, is a city councilman that switched parties. there are 29 vacant seats in november of democrats that are deciding not to run again. >> steve: it will be interesting to see how between now and november how the democrats change their tune when it comes to safety. we've told you the top two

issues and a lot of polls, inflation and crime. all right. eight: 18 in the east. >> ainsley: ashley has some ellence for us. >> the cbc is considering increasing the time between vaccine doses. the agency telling a panel that it would lower the risk of heart inflation for those with compromised immune systems. it would apply to a new few mirrors have albert. those 12 and older they would specifically receive pfizer. minor instances of myocarditis and younger man have. the capital of the state of canada is in the state emergency as 500 truckers protest covid mandates. they also threatening to arrest anyone who brings ghastly north of to the demonstrators. meanwhile calling an investigation into go fund me

saturday night at 10:00. there was your headlines, guys. >> steve: now it's hard to even find avocados. my advice would be -- by today it would get to work towards the end of the week put it in the refrigerator or buy it on they way everyday just put a little bit more in. it was time for a nunormal with nucala. nucala reduces asthma attacks it's a once-monthly add-on treatment for severe eosinophilic asthma. not for sudden breathing problems. allergic reactions can occur. get help right away for swelling of face, mouth, tongue, or trouble breathing. infections that can cause shingles have occured. don't stop steroids unless told by your doctor. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. may cause headache, injection site reactions, back pain, and fatigue. ask your asthma specialist about a nunormal with nucala.

is a female. >> ainsley: the fight for fairness in the next cast signed a banning trans athletes from. kristi noem joins us now. good morning to you. >> good morning, thanks for inviting me. >> ainsley: thanks for coming on. why was this a priority to you? >> we want to girls in south dakota at half a level playing field. they needed fairness and sporting events. so the bill i signed on thursday will be of the strongest in the nation. the first one that's been passed this year. it will be making sure the girls of the k-12 level of the college level compete only against girls. >> brian: what happens with trans athletes? >> ainsley: have a trance laugh athlete does make a sporting team and keeps a biological female for making a team can without biological female has missed out on an opportunity to play. it's a good bill and the fact that it allows them an opportunity to have that chance to compete and it will give them an opportunity to play at the

high school level, the college level, maybe when scholarships to go on a play professional sports and have that level playing field that hasn't happening in so, so many other states. >> brian: do you have trans athletes that are about to do this or are you getting ahead of what's happening in pennsylvania? >> we've had instances in the state that were very concerning for people. you've heard a lot more in the news about other states with these issues. but it's been a discussion in south dakota for so long. back in 2017 or 2018 the federal government told us that they could not of boyd's and girls events and they had to eliminate those and let everything gladly can beat in every single event. even in the sport of rodeo. we've been fighting this fight in south dakota for many years and doing so successfully.

>> you lead the fight on banning crt in schools and south dakota bid this is what the backlash says. republicans are losing ground. do you agree? >> i completely disagree. what republicans are doing is listening to the people in this country. back in 2019 back then republicans killed the bill. they didn't think it was necessary to have more history tied tell mike talk to our children. we've seen this play out on the national news, the product of us not focusing on this issue. i'm so thankful the bill that we have this week and south dakota and the legislator has the support of newt gingrich, ben carson. we have some incredible national leaders to recognize south dakota's doing the right thing by protecting our kids from those racist ideology.

>> also what we saw the commonwealth of nugent virginia has what it meant was parents got more involved in their schools education and that's always a good thing. >> people up so that to me for many months. they are alarmed at what happened at school board meetings. i thought it was great. we been sounding the alarm on this so this is really when people wake up and find out what they believe and maybe we'll have a revitalization of american patriotism. all right, governor, back to the ranch for you. all right, thank you. to a fox news alert as the

white house fears a russian invasion of ukraine could happen at any day. morgan ortagus will join us next live.

>> fox news alert now you're looking at moments ago u.s. troops arriving in eastern poland as russia's military

buildup on ukraine's border keeps growing. there are a nato ally. president biden is meeting with jeremy's new chancellor, whose lettuce down big time. u.s. until says boudin could invade any day now. morgan, the report was that russians have 70% of the force needed for a full invasion. they have now if 83 battalions and tactical groups on the border of the ukraine. so what does your gut tell you? >> i think this is what happens when you have a weak president. when you have weak leadership. we didn't see this during the four years of the trump administration because we have a strong president and dictators knew they couldn't get away with this beer that's exactly what you're seeing today in the world stage, not just in russia and afghanistan. it looks like we are capitulating again to the regime

so around the world whatever theater you are in, we get weakness from a president that just doesn't know what is doing the world stage. >> right now that president is going to meet with the german chancellor, olaf scholz, for the first time. which of the message of each of them? >> we need to know if they are in the fight or not. they've taken on russian energy, they become dependent on it. former german chancellor joining the board of a russian energy company. so everywhere you turn your look and see germany for example still is in paying their 2%. so we need to know if nato allies are actually in the fight with us. we can't help these countries more than they want to help themselves. >> brian: you are looking to help the country again in service. you have a big announcement today. we know you moved from d.c. to tennessee, now what are you doing, morgan? >> woke thank you, brian, for think you forgive me the opportunity to talk about this pit i've raised my hand and volunteered to join the military to serve in the trump administration i'm really excited to announce this morning that i'm raising my hand to run

for congress in tennessee district five. >> brian: at sarid district fifth district. what can you tell us about this district and why they are? >> all the people of tennessee are amazing. this is an incredibly exciting year to run for the house. i'm very competent, confident were going to take the house back in november. there is a democratic congressman retiring so it's an opportunity for republicans to pick up the seat and i believe i'm the woman for the job for tennessee voters. >> brian: what he think he will bring to congress? >> all the time on your show are talking about national security foreign affairs. i look at the border that is overrun. it's hard to believe, especially in the trump administration where i served, where we stopped at border from being overrun. we were able to slow the tide of illegal immigration. you look at these things can we look at the disaster in afghanistan and how the biden

administration allows 13 troops, members of our military, to be killed in that exit. when we were talking earlier about russia and ukraine i just see a failed and weak president. i think when it relates to the border and common sense issues i deal with being a mom every day here in tennessee, things like you go to the grocery store and can only find half the things you need at double the cost. you go fill up the gas tank and its double the cost of what it used to be. when i look at this as a mom i just feel like things change for me when i see what's happening in our schools across the country and i thought i have to stand up. i have to get in the fight. i got in the fight before the military by raising my hand to serve. i got in the fight by serving president trump in the state department. i have his endorsement. i'm the only trump endorsed candidate in this race. my conservative mom. i can fight for tennessee values and for our voters. >> brian: best of luck, morgan, will check in with you along the way. former spokesperson and now candidate for the fifth district

in tennessee. congratulations, morgan. >> thanks, brian. >> brian: coming up straight ahead as the spike in covid cases slows down experts are opening up the door to lifting mandates. >> the level of spread is officially a low level of pride we've never been not at any point in this pandemic. speak about will schools and teachers unions follow the science? were going to ask a mom of nine, yeah, them. ♪ ♪ from the beginning, newday has been the mortgage company for enlisted veterans, helping thousands buy a home, get cash, or lower their mortgage payments. we start by asking one simple question:

how can we help that veteran? with more ways to help more veterans, no bank, no lender, no one knows veterans like newday usa.

it's your home. and there's no place like wayfair to make the morning chaos, organized chaos. however you make it, make your home a place like no other. >> brian: a lot of kids haven't really known a normal school day for two years now. we need to try and lean forward aggressively to try and restore

that. you have a lot of people who have been infected and have some level of immunity and you have high vaccination rates we can start to lean forward and take a little bit more risk and try to at least make sure that students and schools have some semblance of normalcy for the spring term. >> ainsley: former fda commissioner, scott godley, expecting and it the mask mandates in districts worse covid is low. on march 7th and a huge step towards normalcy. rachel joins us now. hey, rachel. >> good morning, good to see. >> ainsley: so you have children in school in new jersey, what's your reaction? >> my kids have not been in masks, they have a religious exemption. thank god the school accepted that. too many schools haven't. we've known for a long time the masks didn't work or not necessary and were hurting kids

psychologically, socially command academically for far too long. i was glad to see scott gottlieb, the former fda commissioner, say that. it's pretty lukewarm comment. beauties also on the board of pfizer so he has an infinite incentive to keep up the fear as long as possible. it's a pretty perverse incentive. i think we've known for a long time -- i don't know about you, ainsley, saw the picture of stacey abram surrounded by those kids. it broke my heart in the same way it broke my heart when i first went back last year not this year but the year before right after the stop the spread stuff and not fall and saw all of our little kindergartners and first graders and everybody all masked up. those children around stacey abrams looked like hostages. stacey abrams knew those kids didn't need to be in masks. she knows it doesn't work. even though she has comorbidities, she's clearly not

afraid to be in the room with these children. she wouldn't be at the school if she thought she would die from oma krohn. she has vaccinated after all. all of the don, i think, we have to ask this question on why is this happening to our children? i think it was a power grab in a way to justify the way we change americans for my voting during the pandemic beer they wanted to keep this going during the next election. you have to wonder how power-hungry must to be to allow this to happen to our children? i want to end on this note where did these kids go to give get back to last two years of their lives. where did they go to get back the problems they missed, the graduation come of the sport scholarship. just a normal interaction that all of us, you and i both, enjoyed as students. weathers college, middle school, high school, kindergartners, especially the little ones. they've known nothing else than this.

this is done by adults who knew better. who knew for more than two years there was no risk to them and still, masked them to look like little hostages in their own school. shameful. >> ainsley: when i look at that picture of stacey abrams with the kids in masks come or some of these other pictures, those little ones -- like you said, some of them are four or five years old which means they've been in masks probably more in-school than they have without their their learning to read, these are such formative years. their brains are just taking in everything when they can't see the teacher his mouth sits just awful. >> we did a story this weekend on fox & friends weekend. we had a speech pathologist on. she has seen over a 300% increase in referrals because speech therapists are getting referred because kids can't learn this way. they can't learn when they are masked. we need to see their smiles. stop adding smiles. enough is enough. parents need to stand up and stop asking bureaucrats and unions for permission.

we need some good old american civil disobedience. they can't arrest a thousand parents. they can't arrest 500 or a thousand kids. enough is enough. it's our job to stand up for them. we can't sit around and wait for he t politicians to give us permission to exercise our right and free our kids. set our children free. >> ainsley: thank you, rachel, great to see you. still i had meet the robotic bartender serving up solutions to staff shortages with automatic around-the-clock cocktails. first let's check in with bill hemmer on what's coming up for the top of the hour. super bowl week. >> yes there is. anything you want to talk about? >> ainsley: were pulling for you. >> thanks, ainsley. general jack keane has a unique take on ukraine coming up first up. >> also a lot to say on stacey abrams. i am here for all of it. >> the new mayor wants to make
