floor. [crash] brian. >> brian: can imagine if i was invited. >> ainsley: second floor is another band. and the third floor was another band all in one building. saw people in college i hadn't seen for years. >> will: what are you laughing at? >> brian: before the show usually people are frenzied joel knows. this is will as i walk up here. will has the paper out sitting like this. nice outfit. what's requesting on? i'm like how, you were up at 2:00 in the morning or you are just vastly unprepared for the show. >> will: let's find out. all i know when you got here will you weren't wearing a mask. >> will: no difference than any other day over the past year. >> ainsley: we don't have to wear them anymore as of today in, no. but the kids have to. >> will: that's nice. that's nice. so adults in the state of new

york and many other states across this nation are starting to watch mask mandates roll back. by the way, good morning and welcome to "fox & friends." will cain filling in for steve doocy along with your regular friends this morning. if you are one of these. >> ainsley: forgot your name. >> will: i'm winging it. mask mandates have begun to roll back. i almost think suspiciously at the same time the system has decided that you do not need to wear masks if you are an adult. but, ainsley, as you point out for many of those states like the one we are sitting in right now new york, school children still have to wear masks. >> ainsley: and they have to wear them on the playground. if they are on the school campus they have to wear their masks. these kids are the least-likely to get sick from covid. the democrats and these teachers unions, they are playing politics with this. first graders are having a problem reading. all the teachers you talk to say those numbers are down. they are not where they need to be. "u.s.a. today" did a whole report on this. then you had stacey abrams going down and she takes off her mask

around the kids but the kids have to be masked? >> brian: right. a couple things going on right now. nine democratic states show ho have said to a degree we are lifting the mask mandates. not all of them. they don't get caught up. massachusetts has lifted on schools. rhode island says end of school mask mandates. washington says no longer have to wear it outdoors. you should never be wearing them outdoors newark is partial. new york city they want to keep the masks on the kids. so a couple of things. i love this quote from the governor of delaware. a leader without followers is not a very effective leadership. you have to strike the balance to keep the people following you. the president of the united states is a leader without followers. he has lost the governors, he is losing the american people. the cdc is i couldn't be more irrelevant. we have lost total faiths in that operation and i wring you back to dr. scott gottlieb to used to run the fda. dr. scott gottlieb said this. scientists now understand just

how this coronavirus spreads through airborne transmission. cloth masks, face coverings are not very effective against stopping drop elizabeth transmission. having said that it helps you stay 2% safer. is that worth and this sargment for two years now and now coming to a head is that worth muze ling children and affecting businesses from coast to coast? all republicans say thrown up their hands. they can't get the president of the united states on a governor's conference call. there is no space between the government and the states so therefore the president is a leader without followers. >> will: to point, jen psaki has been asked then if these states have begun to unwind their mandates. why hasn't the federal government encouraged the poll back of their recommendations? why hasn't the cdc changed its recommendations? >> ainsley: why are they so behind? >> will: here's what psaki had to say. >> the president has been clear and said we are moving through a time where covid won't destruct

our daily lives when covid won't be a daily crisis. you heard him talk about that in his press conference two weeks ago that is something that jeff zion said during the covid briefing earlier today is there is active and ongoing work plan to develop a path forward and this is there is constant discussion about that. i think what you are referring to as the it relates to new york, which is an important component, especially as americans are consuming what it means and where we are going, of masks and what the mask guidance is. >> will: brian, i think this administration will soon change their messaging on mandates and on covid. >> ainsley: they are going to have to. >> will: they will declare victory. they will say their policies pos have covid. these measures are the reasons we are coming out of this. i want to say as we come out of this, let's look at what has changed and it will tell us how we got into this. nothing in the past two weeks has changed. no science has changed. no objective metrics have drastically changed. but, yet, they are rolling back their mandates. why? because of polling.

they are afraid the repercussions. the point is it was never science that was driving our lives. it wasn't science from the beginning. it's not science at the end. and i for one don't intend to forgive. i don't intend to celebrate them arriving at the light. i intend to hold them accountable for the darkness of the past two years that among the -- new england the costs that we made, and ily, are the ones you pointed out with our children. >> ainsley: if they say we are following the science, then why would they make kids still be masked and not the adults. the adults are the ones more at risk than the kids. and you know, in our schools, eric adams said, i think it's like 1%. under 1% of kids in this city have covid. so, if we're following the science, the kids should take their masks off. these kids are -- there are so many other factors learning to read, watching your teacher's mouth when he or she talks to you, facial recognition. the older kids with mental

health issues. loudoun county, the kids go without a mask and they are suspended. that also happened in this area, too. then the white house was saying you need to wear your mask. many blue states say no, you don't need to wear your mask if you are an adult. the white house is saying the very next day after announcements were made. we will leave it up to the states. >> brian: illinois, massachusetts new york, rhode island, washington. democratic states all to a degree rolling back their mandates and they are going to come back quicker. i bring it to governor murphy says there is learning loss in our kids, mental health and stress among kids and adults. folks are yearning for normalcy. tools to keep themselves safe and cautions you not going to get any clear signs from here on in. we are on our own. we have been saying this forever. tucker carlson put it in perspective how we have nobody to look to in washington. >> kathy hochul has decided not to lift the mask mandate for schools of course the teachers

unions have more than parents do. meanwhile the cdc still requires u.s. citizens to get a negative covid test in order to return to their own country. so the cdc has the power to bar you from your own country? really? where did they get that power? anyone from the cdc elected? i don't think so. they are a bunch of incompetent public health administrators. >> brian: randi weingartenner the biggest teacher's union i'm fine with taking the mask off as soon as we get to zero transmission in schools. are they insane? you never have zero transmission of anything in schools. kids are carriers. they come home with colds, you have a colds. the whole family gets a cold. that's the way we live our lives. >> ainsley: jen psaki even asked is the cdc even relevant anymore? she said these are the experts in health they should not be anywhere a pandemic. >> will: randy weingarten necessary of the world. kathy hinojosa they need to pay the price with ballot box and

with their jobs and much more. >> ainsley: what is the reason? 95% or whatever it is of new yorkers have one shot. kid only 30% have a shot. so is that her reason? you can still get covid when you get the shot. >> brian: right. just wait until everyone's vaccine is up with, you know, the shot is already going in everyone's arms in a huge way like around now last year. so is everyone's vaccination card expired? are we going to go from 46% vaccinated to zero and run to the line again with our cotton swabs and our whatever. the l.s.u. thing to your point people aren't going to forget that this government missed both variants. they missed the pandemic. weave didn't know what hit us. and they say you are going to have more variants. we missed delta and omicron both times. don't fall for akim jeffries. >> ainsley: why approval rating is so low. >> brian: 39%. >> ainsley: that's a average of all the major polls.

dave chapelle bought this farm and 3 bedroom house right next door to his farm bump up to the edge of his property. the community wants to build this big affordable housing project. >> will: affordable housing project that supposed would cost $39 million to develop. included would be 143 single family homes. homes starting about $300,000. so why are we telling you about this project outside of dayton because dave chapelle stood up recently at a city council meeting as brian was discussing. shown great interest in community and hometown. developed it, started a bar, a restaurant, a comedy club. to help build that community to a place for all to enjoy. however, many are pointing out dave chapelle doesn't seem to want this housing project to come to yellow springs. this is what he had to say at a council meeting on monday. watch. >> hello? can you hear me? >> yes. >> hi, i'm dave chapelle.

[laughter] i just want to say and marianne, i can talk to you about this privately, i don't know why the village council would be afraid of litigation $24 million a year company $65 million a year company. i can't believe you would make me audition for you. you look like clowns. i'm not bluffing. i will take it all off the table, that's all. thank you. >> brian: is he building a comedy club. is he building a restaurant the firehouse eatery call comedy club yellow springs i imagine. it's going to cost about $65 million. a town of 4,000. and he said if you guys make me audition for, this essentially, if you make me square off with a $24 million project, that i guess he feels as though will hurt the town. so you bring in these single families or duplexes it hurts the town. basically he is leaving and he

is not building. >> ainsley: small town only 3700 people there the town is divided over this. because they say the project will bring in more new houses, more families. but then you also have the town there saying it's going continue to crease traffic, it's going to hurt our water management and we love everybody but we don't want our town to grow we like it the way it is. all the outsiders will come in and bring their politics. bring their five cars, whatever, two cars per family and it's going to increase traffic. i get it now, the point of this is. we are seeing this in loudoun county where all of the parents did not know who was on their school boards. enough to they know the names of all their school board members. some of them are running for school board now because they don't like what's happening in their school. this small town outlines of ohio dave chapelle people are worried about what change means. >> brian: public access reason to watch. honey is that dave shah chilly pell the vote was 2-2 which means it dies. >> will: you are right drawing a

larger story this is you happenings in charleston and loudoun county and texas and florida. i think, brian, to your original point. i think it's encouraging to see people take a vested interest in their own communities. and building and helping to build the type of community that they want to live in. they want to be a part of. the past otwo years have isolated us, scattered us to our own homes. to say our own individualized lives. you want to see communities built around that true sense of community. the way the story something played in many media publications is that dave chapelle opposes affordable housing. is he looking at this and one of the proposals had duplexes and town homes and starting price around $300,000 for some of these homes. it's being painted dave chapelle is doing a nimby issue. not in my backyard i don't want affordable housing in my town. i don't know that that's the case. i don't know if that's the case or what kind of community he wants to build in yellow springs. i will tell you this. i would love to talk to dave

chapelle. i'm sure he is dying to come on fox news and explain his position. it is an interesting square off between outsiders and insiders. between somebody who has built his own community and those who want to come in and develop that community. it will be fascinating to know what is motivating dave chapelle. >> ainsley: she's homes 350,000 to 600,000. that's not very affordable. the average income for that town i believe was $61,000. did y'all read that this morning? this those are expense homes. >> brian: dave chapelle does his own thing. basically so big and so powerful he stared down cancel culture. >> ainsley: he said i won't open this restaurant. i won't continue having the comedy club there if you do this, right? >> brian: absolutely. >> ainsley: i love it when hollywood goes back to small towns and communities. i watched him when he was being interviewed. he just walks down the sidewalk and everyone speaks to hill. he knows everybody's names. he goes into all the shops and

talks to them. during covid he put up this stage in the middle of the center in town with all these lights and put trees -- i mean put chairs in this open area and they did comedy routines. >> brian: yep. dave chapelle watched him interview for three and a half hours with joe rogan on his podcast. curious to see how he feels about the joe rogan go full circle. two 5-year-olds found abandoned at the border in the last two days. why is president biden focusing on the ukrainian border and not the crisis here after the home that he has totally screwed up.

alone in two separate incidents. why is this not a bigger story. as the crisis at our own southern border grows, president biden is deploying troops to protect ukraine's border so to speak or at least nato's border near the ukraine. arizona gubernatorial candidate steve gain nor writes this. i am incensed that mr. biden is sending american soldiers and tax dollars to sure up the ukrainian border while arizona full scale invasion caused by his policy. he joins us now. steve, what made you equate the two? in your column on fox news? >> well, the ukrainian border is something that joe biden is at a paying attention to. putting american resources at risk. it's a potential invasion but what we have in arizona is an actual invasion. we have people pouring across the border drugs, trafficking, it's outrageous. and is he doing nothing. >> brian: these unaccompanied minors just walk through. if this was a year and a half

ago, this would be how could president trump have a policy that allows children to be caught alone at the border? but, instead, it doesn't even make the raider on other channels. >> well, it's making the radar in arizona. we know it's going on here. and it's intolerable. we know people are coming across every day. when i visited the border, there were hundreds of people waiting for the border patrol to pick them up. it's as if the border patrol is now uber. taking people from the border to the airports and flying them all over the country. >> brian: i know you want to be the next governor of arizona. one thing is also clear, your senators are mia as bold as senator sinema is. she never talks about the border. i don't know if mark kelly even wants to be noticed on surveillance video. why don't they care? is it about their party or about the country have any. >> brian, i think this is intentional. they are flooding our country with people who are illegal.

but, at the same time, people are coming in to our country who really, i think, mean us no good. it's a national security issue. as well as an issue in arizona. we have escalating crime. overdoses all over the place. and it's terrible. >> brian: in terms of it arizona. we put a lot of focus on texas. why haven't the national guard been mobilized in arizona like the national guard has been mobilized in texas? >> i believe the guard has been mobilized here to some degree. but we're overmatched. the sheriff's departments, and border patrol itself. dps. they're overwhelmed by the number of people who are coming across. brian, i would ask you. >> brian: just real quick, the vice president was asked about this a few days ago and she said the first thing we did as an administration is offer immigration reform and nobody took it up in congress. what's your answer to that? >> the first thing they did is

overturn the trump administration policies keeping people on the other side of the border. and gave the cartels an engraved invitation to bring people in, and that's what they're doing. i would ask your audience go to my website dana for governor.com. we can use all the help we can get here in arizona. >> brian: yeah. you obviously could. and when you talk about other nationalities, are you seeing other than central americans south america? who are you seeing? >> yes. we have seen people from uzbekistan, pakistan, and countries in the middle east. it's clear to me when i visited the border, there are a lot of spanish-speaking people. no mexicans. central american and cubans, but there are people from other parts of the world that don't belong here. >> brian: costs us a ton of money. a lot in security and peace of mind. steve gaynor, thanks so much. >> thank you. >> brian: straight ahead, with hid term elections months away parents are meg message for

for the politicians. put the kids first or you are going to lose our vote. joining me now with their message ahead of the midterms is new york mom of two and founder of and texas mom of three also a teacher vanessa stein camp. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> ainsley: natalia, i will start with you. you as a mom can take your mask off but your kids can't. your reaction? >> i think it's barbaric and antiscience and completely politically motivated. i was shaking with rage when i heard her say that yesterday. she fully well knows that there is no evidence that masking helps protect kids or adults and to impose this capricious masking on kids who are hard of hearing, have special needs or chewing their their mask and eating fabric every single day, she should be out right now.

>> ainsley: you have been a lifelong democrat. a very liberal democrat now your vote is up for grabs. >> whoever puts the children first and it will not be hochul. >> ainsley: yeah, that's what we're all finding out. vanessa, you were the smart one. you lived in chicago. now you are in texas. i know you ran for city council and what's your reaction to all of this and why are you in the fight? because i know your kids aren't able to take their masks off. >> i feel pretty galvanized after the past two years. as the mother of three and a teacher, kids are pretty powerful motivating force. you can't isolate kids for long and then send them back to school after you shuttered sports and all the things that help them thrive. socially distance them and force them to mask and force them not to suffer we should have protected them supersede politics partisanship won and the kids lost. >> ainsley: are you going to run for city council again and what do you expect. >> i don't know if i will run again i expect many parents vote at the ballot box. we have seen many.

moving to texas because they understand that we afforded our kids normalcy. my kids have been without masks since august of 2021. >> ainsley: my tallia, i'm a new yorker here. i on upper east site side and you are on upper west side. we are seeing the impact on our kids. vu talked to teachers at the school ha said kids are behind because of kids being on zoom. i have a little one and teacher says everyone in her school is behind now because of covid. >> learning loss is undeniable. possibly a couple years behind my kids have said there are many classes in which they are kind of bored and they feel like they are learning things that they learned a couple of years ago

which makes sense. some kids lost up to a year and a half of school but the masks in the classroom have created thee incredible divides. it's almost like they are socially isolated still. you know, while adults have gone on. we're seeing gavin newsom, aoc and all of the, you know, great champions of, you know, human rights out there hobnobbing and enjoying themselves and kids like they completely forget them every single day. they go in there out of sight, out of mind. and they don't seem to even register on the radar. >> ainsley: we have stacey abrams. she is surrounded by kids in the classroom in school. they all have masks behind her and she is not wearing one. what message does that show? you are a school teacher. i have been reading about both of y'all. i know have you teamed up with other women. revenge of the covid moms circulated yesterday and emails through some of my friends. all about your stories and fight

for our children. we all appreciate that as parents. as the a teacher, what are you seeing in the classroom? >> well, i think the biggest thing is the social anxiety. the trauma doesn't really begin to surface for the kids until you unmask them. mask cycle their emotion. we probably have seen on the ground here in texas a little bit earlier what you guys have seen in new york, illinois and california. the anxiety sun real. kids that aren't mask anywhere in their lives still in school still having problems taking mask down. they have been treated as a biohazard the past two years. first piece is the anxiety piece and then address the massive learning loss. >> ainsley: you are exactly right. when i walk out of my apartment and i remember i didn't bring a mask i run back upstairs and have to get it same with the little children, they all do feel very anxious. and natalia, are you feeling that or seeing that with your own children on the upper west side? >> kids come up to see-to-me and asking when are we taking our masks off because they know how active i am and how important.

i have been advocating for kids to remove their masks since june of last year. because we knew that it was time. i mean, i have family in the u.k. the kids there, they were in high school. they never masked, except for like a 6-week period. we know this was unnecessary. our kids know. kids come up to me and tell me, you know, this is so horrible. i have a nose bleed and i'm wearing my mask and my mask gets all bloody and then the teacher, you know -- it's degrading. and we have taken away their dignity and we need to stop this right now. >> ainsley: i have a friend who actually sent me this article. and her daughter was in school and the mask was down below her nose and the teacher said you better pull that up. you could kill me. those are the messages being told to our little ones. what are your friends say, natalia but you being a democrat because i know in new york you hear every opinion. i have a lot of friends pro-vaccinating these kids even when they're babies if the cdc says that's okay.

what are you hearing from your friends to the left? are they agreeing with you? >> i have to say there is a real titled change here. all of my friends are to the left or at least they were. now they are just trying to figure out who to vote for. who will get hochul out of office. so i think that i have had nothing but support. and we're just trying to figure out who stands on the right side of the issues and that's putting our kids first. i think that whatever battle hochul and the teachers unions have won today. they will lose the war tomorrow because they have activated an army of parents from across the country and we're not going back to sleep. >> ainsley: maybe that's why all these blue states are changing their minds. midterms around the corner. natalia, vanessa thank you for standing up for our children. god bless you both. check in with janice dean for fox weather forecast. hey, janice.

>> will: it's a beautiful city. >> ainsley: so pretty. that's not the best shot of charleston. the marches there are gorgeous. we have the island. cooper river bridge and then mount pleasant have you ever been rainbow road down there at the tip of charleston. >> brian: i walked down king street with senator scott sensed mantra is we love tourists to come to south carolina. we do not like when they stay you are ruining this great city because you stay. >> ainsley: people are like ainsley, keep charleston a secret. don't talk about it so much on tv. it is a beautiful place. traffic is really getting really busy there. >> will: you failed this morning. you have been talking about charleston. >> ainsley: i love it we grew up going there it's a really cool place. >> will: i understand what you mean though. people are moving to florida and texas and there is a lot of concern will you keep in the spirit of the place that you are

moving to? >> ainsley: right. >> will: bring the place that you left along with you? let's bring in, speaking of bringing along with us, bring in lara trump, fox news contributor. good morning, lara. >> good morning, i agree with you, ainsley, the carolinas are beautiful places to be. i'm from north carolina. you are from south carolina. and, william, i'm in florida right now. i fully appreciate the statement you just made. don't come down and bring the reason you left your state to our state now. please do not do that. >> will: exactly. >> ainsley: our kids have to stay in masks. do you miss new york? >> i miss the old new york sometimes. i have got to tell you when it's snowing up there and a blizzard it's really nice down here in florida. pretty happy about this decision right now. >> brian: you can always go on the subway. always safe down there if the snow gets too hard. lara, a couple of things. today we are going to find out about the inforeign relation report. and it looks as though they are bracing themselves the administration because already over 7%. when he took over the country, the president of the united

states was at 1%. some of the things that are out of his control. some aren't. overall the real clear average of the major polls has him under 40% which is behind where president trump was at 42 at this point. way behind president obama as well as president bush. what do you think it says knowing that most media gives him a pass on just about everything including his son and all his international enentanglement? >> there is so much to unpack there, brian. how long do we have for this seeing wanted? i could talk about this all day. no one, i don't think, is surprised to see that he is polling so low. because although the media tries to cover up for joe biden and although they have been doing it since the campaign, since they let him campaign out of his basement and didn't press him on very much of anything, people are starting to feel the negative impact of joe biden being president. you know, you go to the grocery store, everything is more expensive. you go to fill up your car, that's more expensive these days, too. i think it's become increasingly

frustrating for people to see that so many of the issues a that we have in america right now were caused by joe biden. and if he wanted to fix them, he could. look at the southern border. all you have to do, joe biden, is go back to the trump era policies. and the border would be solved for you. all you have to do is do so many of the things that donald trump had put in place. open back up the keystone xl pipeline and bring our gas prices down. make us energy independent again and not reliant on foreign energy. this stuff seems very basic, i think. and when average people out there start to feel it and start to see that something could be done about the issues we are facing in america right now. yet, they are not. they are actually going in the opposite direction, in the wrong direction for so many people, they are really frustrated and so, yes, the polling is very low. but it is really concerning, brian, that no one is calling him on it unless you tune in to fox news. >> will: lara, you think about how his administration, how his

political team is going to try to recover from these types of numbers. what will they do to try to inflate those numbers? my suspicion is when you look at these states beginning to roll back mask and covid mandates, by the time we arrive at the state of the union, joe biden will be taking credit for putting covid in the rear view mirror. he will suggest that his policies did exactly that. allowed us to exit the pandemic. the question i think i have for you and for the american public at large is. will they buy it? will they buy that the biden administration and blue state proposals are what delivered us from covid? because my bet is that's what they're banking on to reinflate those numbers. >> yeah. well i think you are spot on on that. why is it that nothing has changed science wise? why is that we have known for a long time the efficacy of masks or lack therefore. yet these own nor russ mandates have stayed in place. all of a sudden now, they are rolling them back. in states -- some of these states rolling them back, why

not take them out now? they are waiting another month to do this. yes, i think that they are hopeful that they can take full credit for letting us go back to normal, for bringing us back to normal life as it reels to covid. and, look, i don't know. i hope the american people are smarter than that i think they are banking on people being so fed up with it and so happy to have their freedoms back in some capacity that will t. will reflect in their poll numbers. you can't escape the other things. the things we just talked about. the way everything is more expensive. the way life is harder for so many people. look, unless they can get a handle on those things. they might feel like they get a win here with allowing people not to wear masks anymore. thank you so much. but, i don't know that it's going to be effective. i think they are very hopeful that it works out. >> ainsley: many of these blue states, exactly brian, many of the blue states the kids still have to wear masks to school and on the playground. they are not allowed in restaurants unless they show a vaccine card. and they have to wear their

masks to get to the table. people are just ready, ready to let go of all of these regulations and the blue states are really affected. and i think these democrats are seeing because they are worried about the midterms. you have congressman jim cooper. he is saying he is not going to run again. listen to this. >> he says: as usual, democrats are not alert to future dangers. the biggest danger we face in an off-year election after we won the white house is the 100 year trend toward the other party. redistricting is small potatoes compared to that historical trend. their strategy is blind hope and we have got to get the formula right. the democratic party in d.c. is facing extension. your thoughts. >> yeah. i think he is right that doesn't just apply to tennessee it applies to a lot of states. this is what happens ainsley. when you woke initiatives the things that the small minority of people in the major cities care about and you completely ignore the rest of the country. we call it in politics flyover

country and that's because you don't get a lot of the money from the middle of the country. your donors are on the coast and they are in los angeles and new york. a lot of politicians just fly over the middle of the country and totally ignore people and that's exactly what you have seen happen. their needs are not being met. they do not feel at this point like they are being heard. anybody ever wonder how a billionaire real estate tycoon like donald trump related so well to average people in america? it's because he got out there. he talked to them. he traveled the country and he listened to them. >> we have different than what you see happening right now. people feel like they are not being heard. like nobody cares. and so i think that's exactly right. i think it's going to be really bad for their party. >> brian: i just think it's going to be who is going to heal their rift quickest. big story today. joe manchin and it will chuck schumer at odds nothing gets done. on the republican side mitch mcconnell and kevin mccarthy. this could be up forced area on the republican side unless they

get together. what could they do to get together? who makes the first move? >> well, look, i think a lot of what is going to happen will be determined by the midterm elections. the people of this country, brian are so fed up with what they have had to deal with over the past year. they have seen how bad it is under democrat rule. and it is not good for anyone in america, so, you start with the midterm elections and look hopefully we take back the house and the senate on the republican side and actually start making some changes that are going to help people. you know, in terms of the tit-for-tat politics. we will have to let that all play out. i think the american people are going to speak up resoundingly come november of 2022 this year and say enough is enough. and we want to take our country back. we know that the republicans have the plan to do that. obviously the democrats have failed at every level. >> will: you brought up, lara, what made president trump resonate with people from quote, unquote, flyover states. as someone from a flyover state we can and should analyze that

for honestly decades to come. there should be honest books written about what happened there in that time frame. i know this from a substantive level. one of the issues that resonated with americans is president trump's focus on immigration. so let me pivot to that in this respect. 25-year-old girls were found crossing the southern border of the united states alone to give a demonstration to the humanity behind the issue. the human rights crisis behind this issue. but, here is the point of politics and substance and what works. i want you to take a look at the change in the mission statement, from u.s. citizen and immigration services from the trump administration to now. here's how their mission statement read before: u.s. citizenship and immigration services administers the nation's lawfullism congratulation system, safeguards its integrity and promise efficiently and fairly adjudicating request for immigration benefits while protecting americans, securing the homeland and honoring our values. that was the mission statement in the trump era. immigration department. now, it reads as follows: u.s.

c s upholds america's promise of a nation of welcoming possibility with fairness, integrity and respect for all we serve. no mention of lawful immigration. no mention of protecting americans or our borders. what do you think of the change? >> they can't talk about lawful immigration, will, because that's not what we have happening at our southern border. it is so obvious. it just smacks you right in the face that they are allowing lawlessness to rein down there. reign down there.they fully open border. you just talked about 25-year-old girls. how many times do we have to see this happen? people know if you come to america illegally right now, you can stay. if you send your kids illegally to america right now, they can stay. it doesn't matter. this journey of -- to our southern border, through mexico, through central america is so dangerous. a third of women are sexually assaulted. the fact that we have young children traveling by themselves

right now in the middle of winter is absolute insanity. and if this had happened under the trump administration, could you imagine the focus on these two young girls by the mainstream media? yet, guys, i bet we are the only people that bring it up today, that no other outlets will even touch this. it is despicable. it is horrible for these people. it is horrible for america. so yeah, will, they can't even keep the same statement, mission statement in place, because it's not applicable right now. >> brian: right. okay, lara, stay right there. i want to bring in story in. white house bracing for brutal inflation report. americans feeling the effects as we gear up for super bowl sunday. >> ainsley: madison al worth of our sister network joins us live. hey, madison. >> good morning, ainsley. >> so the cpi report is going to show you just how much more things are costing us today. that comes out in less than 90 minutes. you don't need to wait until then to know just how much more these items are costing us and ahead of the big game on sunday

some of your favorite super bowl items are going to cost you more. no one knows it better than john of dan and john's wings. wings have gone up in price. john, what have you noticed about the cost of your wings and how have you adjusted the prices for your customers to compensate. >> unfortunately we have had to raise the prices. our costs has gone up in some intans distances like four times. so, we have had to pass that onto the customer. we haven't been able to do it fully, as much, because it would be outrageous price if we were to charge our normal margins form la wise. in general we just have had to raise the prices and that's something everyone has had to deal with. >> tell me, what were you charging in 2019 and what are you charging today and then you mentioned even with that price hike it's still not getting you the same margins that you were getting two years ago? >> yeah. that's right. i think we were somewhere around $65 for a 50 piece. we do like a 50 piece wing kit for super bowl. and this year we are 99.99. >> and even with that you are

still not taking home the same margin. >> even with that it's tough. >> and so obviously wings, that's one of my favorite parts of the meal. that's not the only thing you eat at the super bowl. lots of sides as well. show you guacamole and after shadows this is the favorite part of super bowl. avocados a year ago cost you less than a dollar and today it's going to cost you 1.24. and if all of this makes you want to have a drink before 7:3. unfortunately the average cost of alcohol up 4% compared to last year. so, we're not expecting good numbers from cpi. expect to pay big bucks this sunday. >> ainsley: our lunchtime starts at 9:00 a.m. >> brian: not for me. ainsley will pay whatever it takes when it comes to alcohol. we know that ring it up. and you can write it off. right? work-related. >> will: we were racing each other to see which one could throw each other under the bus

on alcohol. brian benders are going to be a little more expensive now. >> brian: okay fine you said it anyway. >> ainsley: thank you for that report. hand it back to lara. what's your reaction to this? when he started off inflation is a little more than 1%. and in december it was 7%. we're expecting even higher than that for january. >> joe biden said that you know, he wouldn't raise taxes, look, we know giving away free money has consequences this is one of those consequences. penal are paying more for everything across the board. you know, they have this number of 7%. we will see what they come out with today. if you actually go to the grocery store. if you actually go and buy things. it is far more than 7% that things are up. at the grocery store. some things are up 25%. 50%. it is much more than 7%. and so they use, you know, this scale in the way they rate things and they take some items out. but those are items that actually impact people every single day. so, look, unfortunately, i don't know the end to this.

i don't know that there is an end in sight. there is absolutely zero being done by this administration to curb inflation rate. and i assume it's going to continue to go up. just another reason that people are looking forward to november of '22 and november of '24 as soon as they can get there. >> will: to bring this full circumstantial you are exactly right. no matter what kind of pivot they make at the state of the union. as long as that number goes up. his approval rating goes down. not much you can do about that. >> brian: see what happens with covid-19. thanks so much. >> thanks, have a good one. >> brian: one thing did i from last year, because you went to the super bowl last year, right? first time i had super bowl home in a while, i saved my avocado from last year so this way i have the old price. it's going to be, i don't have to pay the 1.24. >> ainsley: wonder if you can save avocado you can freeze bananas and fruit can you freeze avocado. what do you think carley. >> carley: i wouldn't recommend it.

i'm no culinary expert i wouldn't recommend it. >> ainsley: probably wouldn't be good. >> carley: thank you for that, brian. appreciate it so much. got to get to serious news now. we begin with a fox news alert. police in america under siege. an officer in arkansas is shot in the line of duty overnight. the jonesboro police department says a suspect opened fire on the police, on the officer hitting him in the leg. the officer fired back, seriously injuring the suspect. the officer is expected to be okay. we are going to continue to follow this story as it develops. president biden now former top science adviser under an ethics review for his financial ties to biotech. eric lander publicly promoted vaccination efforts before shedding his share of stock valued somewhere between half a million and $1 million. biotech saw its second highest price over ever two days before he sold lander resigning last

the city prepares to fire unvaccinated municipal employees in new york city. unless the mayor intervenes. 25 firefighters are expected to lose their jobs tomorrow while more than 600 wait to hear their status after their exemptions and appeals exemptions in many cases. many new york city firefighters bravest for choice paul and sophie medina join us now. sophie, what is it like scaring at possibly losing your job and your career? >> it is a great fear, you know, and it's not only me that faces possible termination. it's also my husband. we are both career firefighters in new york city. and so we both face possible termination. >> brian: and have you natural immunity, right? you have had it before and you tested your antibodies and you have the protein. >> correct. that's right. >> brian: if you look at a couple of studies, yale and hopkins, natural immunity is not as good or better than the

vaccine. paul, you applied for a religious exemption. you didn't get it what is it like being on leave without pay? >> it's extremely stressful. you guys were just speaking on it yourselves that the cost of everything right now is extremely high. and supporting a family, paying your mortgage it's not easy for anybody. even in when we are working full time. so the stressors that we take home to our families and trying to keep the faith alive and keep the family dynamic intact is very tough during this time. >> brian: what about the whole unit, sophie? can you guys afford to lose and ladies afford to lose 600 people? >> i don't think that that's a great possibility for the city of new york because we have already been under staffed in the past prior to covid. and to add to that shortage would be, i think, disastrous for the city and the public. >> brian: paul, marched monday,

seeing the video now, what was that like? have you talked to any officials? did you make an contact? >> the biggest impact that we make any time we come out and have these conversations with people is showing people they are not alone. and what we did on monday was a huge step, i believe, and we believe in the right direction. because for the first time, we had the vaccinated community standing up for the unvaccinated. they wanted to stand with us in solidarity. they came out and said what can we do? and luckily we partnered with a good friend of mine jamel thompson an mta transit worker. he launched his campaign #rip it off. it's an opportunity for the vaccinated community to say we are not complying with the segregation anymore. we are not -- we are standarding with the unvaccinated and supporting them throughout this stressors of this mandate. >> brian: sophie, let's say you were intimidated by the pandemic

and the fear out there and you told your chief i'm not going to work. i'm worried, i'm worried about covid-19. what would they have said to you over the last two years? >> that that would be absurd. every firefighter knows the risks that we can come in contact with. and we do our job. it doesn't matter the fear that we feel. we continue to do our job and serve our public. and that's the what bravery is. it's doing the thing that you need to do in spite of fear. >> brian: right. if you did that, you probably would have lost your job. but you didn't have a choice, did you? >> of course. >> brian: you didn't have a choice? >> we didn't have a choice. we went into work every day. and my husband and i worked around each other. we have some children at home. so, we feared bringing that back home and we continued to always work and just always do what we were called on to do. it's a calling. it's a vocation. >> brian: paul, your message right now to the mayor? >> you know, the mayor adams gave us a lot of hope when he came into office. he said to the public that he wants to negotiate with the

union. that he wants to find a solution coming out of this pandemic. and we're asking for choice in the matter. being told to get a shot or be terminated is an ultimatum. it's not a choice. we want those people that have religious beliefs sincerely held beliefs to or even medical beliefs, i'm sorry, medical exemptions to have the choice in the matter and quite frankly, throughout the height of the pandemic, there was testing option that was being used and there was proven safe and effective then and we don't understand why it's not safe and effective now. even though they are usings it currently. >> brian: pure politics and i think you know that paul and sophie, i hope they have a resolve that works on your behalf. we are all pulling for you. we reached tout to city hall for a statement but have not received a response. best of luck. thanks so much. >> thank you, brian. brian, if anybody wants to reach out to support us, they can go on bravest for choice.org.

family is reporting that he tripped, that he hit his head, that he didn't think anything of it, that he went to sleep. unfortunately, if he had a bleed on top of his brain, called a subdural hematoma which i think is likely, if you are asleep you don't know it i would urge americans out there, this is very common actually. especially over the age of 60. and if he were on blood thinners it makes it more of a problem. over 100 people a day die of traumatic brain injuries related injuries. and this is a very common thing now, what could you do out there? if you know, if you get dizzy, if you have blurry vision, if you have a headache, if you don't feel quite yourself, if your balance is off, or you just have a big headache, you could get seen right away and we can do something to relieve the pressure on the brain. the big tragedy here ainsley is if he went to sleep he wouldn't know it. >> ainsley: dr. siegel. of us have hit our heads and we go about our day and go to sleep at night. how do we know when it's serious when we need to call the doctor? >> well, i always say err on the

side of calling your doctor. err on the side of asking medical attention. if you are discombobulated that's the first thing. not thinking clearly the first thing. severe headache that's another issue and if your vision changes at all you have got to get to the hospital and be seen or if you are dizzy and your balance is off. those are key signs. i don't want to tell people out there if it's due to a blow to the head, it is so easy for us to check with a neurological exam and a cat scan. >> we have simply i can find out if you have blood. and if you have blood on the head, i can take the pressure off just by opening it and draining it. that works and that saves many, many lives. and that's a big wake-up call here. he had covid by the way in december. they are saying that's unrelated but you can also get dizziness after covid. was he dizzy? did the dizziness cause him to fall and hit his head? you may think nothing of it if you get a substantial blow to your head, you should be seen. >> ainsley: what about foul play have they ruled that out here. >> they have. they said it's not related to

foul play or anything related to drug-related as you say at the beginning. not alcohol related. they didn't find any toxins. again, they didn't reveal exactly about his heart. i'm very curious about that. but there is no sign of anything other than that he tripped and hit his head which, again, happens very, very commonly. and it's something that has to be taken very seriously. >> ainsley: i know a lady who fell off a ladder and died as a result. she was healthy. >> ainsley, it's the number two cause of death in the united states from accidental death is falling and hitting your head after car accidents a and as you said accidental poisoning. we have to be on the lookout. bob saget would want us to use his death instructively in that wait a minute be careful, especially as you get older. people older i'm just like when i was 20. you may not be. >> ainsley: thank you, dr. siegel, great information. >> thanks, ainsley. >> ainsley: thank you. still ahead, the white house is bracing for a potentially brutal inflation report in the next

popular poles and put them together. his approval rating for the first time is under 40% pier 39.8. look at many people disapprove. almost 55% or 54.4 percent don't like what he's doing. why do you think that is? is it covid? is it immigration? >> i'm surprised it took this long for those poll numbers to reflect what i see when i travel to indiana. when i got here and i look at precovid, and look at the reasons i ran because we are trying to maybe do some things with government to make it more effective. there is buyers remorse out there. and you just mentioned all the reasons. and he wanted her to have these could get you down into poll numbers that are in good when you have a midterm of looming. we have been dished up a menu of deplorables in terms of what is going on currently. what are we going to do with it as republicans?

that is the key variable. independents are almost in lockstep with this in all these issues. that's important. normally, they are in the middle. finally the truth comes out just like it does when you have bad policies on vaccinations and some of the things they have been trying to ram through based upon not list science but their political science. i think it is just all coming home to roost. >> brian: among the issues that could be taking joe biden's poll numbers, but this one at the top of the list is the january inflation numbers are predicted to come in at 7.3%. that's compare that to end joe biden took office when it was 1.4%. what i like to ask you is how do we move forward? how do we find a solution to the issue that is really at the top of most americans lists when it comes to priorities for someone to solve, what can republicans do? should you take power in the

midterm elections at the end out of 2022? why can you do to tame inflation? >> when you are trying to sell the kool-aid of more government, more regulations, when i got in here three years ago, $18 trillion in debt. last week, we just crossed $30 trillion. republican to take this opportunity, remember, the independent selects senators in the presidency. we've got everything dished up to do it. i don't think we can be the party of no or we are not interested. we need to bring small effective government solutions to the key issues out there. when you look to see what those are, take a cue from the people that are going to determine who is going to win back the swing state senators. they want you to get down basic stuff. instead of all the stuff they have trotted out as democrats, we at least have to pick a

couple of issues and look at what was working. record low inflation. wages were going up the old fashion way without government being the driver. we need to look probably no further in what was working there. and then maybe get involved in the real difficult issues like lowering the cost of health care. for conservatives, i keynoted the young republicans in my home state of indiana at indianapolis. they wanted republicans to at least have some small government approach to may be an issue like climate. if we stay away from the difficult issues, it will come back to where we give the political hair rises, the democrats an opportunity to do something even more damaging down the road. >> will: so far starting with new jersey, there are nine separate democratic states to some degree have rolled back the mask mandates and some restrictions. case is down 47%.

every state is seeing a decrease. hospitalizations down 20% over the last seven days. it's going in the right direction. it is falling with this omicron variant. i bring you back to one quote. a leader without followers is not a very effective leader. you have to strike the balance to keep people following you. "the president is losing democrats. he is in cement on these issues. what is the responsible way forward, senator? >> ainsley: follow the cues again. look what he did there by just saying listen to the parents. they are the stakeholders in education. we have got all that stuff to work with. and as republicans, do we run with that in national way? i don't think the democrats can recover between now and november even if they try to offer more free stuff and kool-aid from the federal government.

and it's what we do with our own platform to take advantage of this rare opportunity of so many things working precovid during the trump administration. there is big buyers remorse within the biden administration. >> brian: we have 64% vaccinated americans a much higher if you go 12 and up. when you talk about natural immunity, hopkins comes out with that study that says natural immunity is good if not better. what are you pushing congress to do? >> we have a bill out there they would say recognize that. sadly, it will be about messaging but it will also be reinforcing what you are seeing in the blue states where the governors are saying all this nonsense, general lockdowns, john hopkins recently said the mortality rate wasn't impacted hardly at all by lockdowns. one-size-fits-all.

top-down approach to this doesn't make sense. we just need to reinforce it. we won't get anything through because we won't get any democrats for it. but messaging into november is important and we just need to stay on point. >> ainsley: wire the democrats so hesitant to recognize natural immunity? think about the 18,000 that will lose their jobs in l.a.? the people who work for the government in new york city on friday that will lose their jobs. what if they have had covid? what if there antibodies are strong and stronger than a boosted person? why won't they recognize that? >> when they took over, you have harris and biden say we will never take that trauma vaccine. and they ran with it. and they try to sell that is the only solution ignoring therapeutics and ignoring other methods. listening to what was actually working. they are good at that. they control the dialogue out there and they think they can

flip-flop from this to that and still make sense with the american public. it is because they do it naturally. when they have a narrative, they do not let up on it. we've got to make sure that we don't let them try to recast when it is actually happen. that science is coming out. they rely on political science and using the media to reinforce bad decisions and flip-flop the other way and hope we buy it. >> will: what you make of the shift taking place right now? numerous blue states across the country loosening their mask mandates, loosening their restrictions. at the same time and many of the same states for example, new york, kids are still going to school required to wear a mask every day. we had a conversation earlier with moms who are pushing back on those. i want to get your take on what exactly is taking place right now. >> i think it is barbaric and

antiscience entities completely politically motivated. ask in the classroom have created these incredible divides that almost socially isolated still while adults have gone on. seeing gavin newsom, aoc, and all the great champions, you know, human rights out there hobnobbing and enjoying themselves and the kids, like, they completely forget them every single day. >> we should have protected them and have them supersede politics. politics won and the kids lost. >> will: you can hear her now saying her vote is up for grabs. is that the explanation as we see these dates starting to move? obviously not the movement of science. >> thank goodness there's a difference between san francisco, l.a., and new york city. you're getting into where

sometimes practical solutions, common sense, just watching what has been happening. you are going to lose a lot of the blue states were the same reason of what we saw in virginia. sooner or later, you got a bailout on bad ideas. those hard-core centers of liberalism, progressive ideas, they may hold onto it. the rest of the country is going to move on including blue states and state governments. >> brian: the issues that the president has come up with make your policies look better and better. it doesn't seem like you guys can get out of your own way. on friday, the rnc -- the former vice president telling the president, former president and he was wrong. the president donald trump going up to mitch mcconnell. are you guys trying to lose the midterms? >> that kind of infighting in making unforced errors, making a statement like the rnc did

without maybe qualifying it for the ones that reach the capital, then you've got to come back. democrats love that because that switches the attention to us. like i said earlier, we have got to be out there focused on some real good ideas to appeal to the people that determine these midterm elections in the swing states and avoid that as much as possible. i don't think they can use even those kind of miscues because their record, their agenda is so bad in this last year. >> ainsley: you might be right. thank you for coming on with us. >> my pleasure. >> good morning to you are. we will start with a fox news alert. our breaking story from arkansas. a police officer in jonesboro was shot while exchanging gunfire with a suspect. police say the officer was shot in the leg but thankfully it is expected to recover.

>> america's crime crisis leading to a terrifying moment for three small kids under ten in minneapolis when they are driver was shot in the head on the ride home from school. our next guest battled america's enemies. these battling for safe teen's home state which is not easy. army veteran minnesota gubernatorial candidate joins us now. thanks for being here. your reaction to this bus driver being shot in the head.

thankfully, it looks like he is going to be okay. >> absolutely. he's going to be okay. my prayers and hearts go out to him and family. brian, to be quite honest, to a lot of people here in minnesota. and in the twin cities where we see this on a random basis. this is happening far too routinely. as one of the main reasons i decided to get in the race for governor to help change our state and take it back. >> will: i have never seen such an such ineffective leadership. that's where everything took root where it's okay to burn a police station. every city in america felt that after that. basically giving up the streets and letting the homeless take over parks. you've got to wonder if there is no -- at this leadership is not vulnerable, none is. >> you nailed it, brian. it is all about leadership. 2.5 years ago, this is the epicenter for the rioting, looting, defining the police. our attorney general keith ellison the center of it

and governor walz allow this to happen. we have been under siege for 2.5 years. literally, we average two carjackings a day. let me put some basis to this. we have women that are being beaten in parking lots in the suburbs and kids in the cities are being shot at and killed literally. this is a reason that i am running. we are going to make a change. not only republicans are going to be behind us, we are going to get independent voters. when i call my parents, jfk democrats, they are going to, and they are going to support us as well. >> will: like it or not, there are some areas where crime rages in this country. with this crime wave over the last two years, it's happening everywhere. with this shooting of this bus driver have a 37th avenue and gerard avenue north. police at the scene were able to sustain them until the ambulance got there. >> not necessarily.

i may just put this in reference, brian. "forbes" magazine had on the cover of its magazine in 2009, minneapolis, the cleanest, safest big city in the country. we are going to return it back to that starting in november. i hope to be on your show to announce that as governor, because i have been on your show several times and it's always bad news. this city, this state was something to be held as a model around the country. we didn't use to live like this. what's happening now is a policy change and what's happening now is a result of poor and weak leadership. >> brian: i know you know these numbers. 99 violent crimes, 349 property crimes year to date, 512 violent crimes. over 2,000 property crimes. that according to the tops of the been defunded and defamed,

reimagined for assignment to the people. think about the kids and think about these three kids under ten that witness a bus driver being shot. you're not gonna tell me that they are not going to be traumatized. >> those are going to be lifelong memory sadly. we have transformational needs year. this is why we need someone from the outside from the private sector with private sector solutions and my background has led and served in our military to bring solutions to our state. we have all of those issues going on. we have one of the highest tax rates on our businesses and on private citizens in the country. people are leaving because of the crime because of the tax burden and we need to stop that because this is such a great state. we want to return it back to what it was. >> brian: tell me your story. >> i'm sure i'm the only one on the gubernatorial stage that has lived in new york city

premayor gianni. i live part of my life as a kid -- my parents divorced in harlem, new york, in the worst of time in the late '60s and early '70s. my father came and got me to live with him, me and my younger brother. because he was paying alimony and child support, all he could afford was a trailer and a trailer park in oklahoma. that's where i got my start in life. what i've learned in this country because i have been called a trailer trash. i've been called ghetto kid and a lot worse. in this country, it doesn't matter where you start, because you have the options, the of the abilities that where you start in life is not where you have to stay in life. the american dream still works. and i'm going to make sure it is around for generations to come. >> will: i hear you.

thanks so much for joining us. i appreciate it. good luck in your run for the republican nomination meant to be the next governor of minnesota. the first republican governor since 2009. thanks so much. >> real quick, the website -- >> brian: go get them. coming up straight ahead, we are standing by for the highly anticipated inflation report. charles payne will break down whatever the number is, how high or how low. avoiding triggers, bt keep migraine attacks away? qulipta™ can help prevent migraine attacks... it can't prevent your next period. qulipta™ can help prevent migraine attacks... it can't prevent stress. you can't prevent what's going on outside, that's why qulipta™ helps what's going on inside. qulipta™ is a pill. gets right to work to prevent migraine attacks and keeps them away over time. qulipta™ blocks cgrp

>> ainsley: hundreds of new york's bravest will be in limbo as they wait to see whether appeals or exemptions are granted. those are your headlines, guys. over to you. now a fox news alert. a key inflation report. >> consumer prices jumped, wow, 7.5% over the year. that is up i think 4% -- .4% from where it was where we left off last time. is the highest in 40 years, 40 years. last month alone, prices were up .6%. let's bring in charles payne, host of "making money" on fox business. there were some pessimistic expectations going into this. we have exceeded those pessimistic expectations. >> of the range of all wall street firms, the highest i saw was 7.4%. no one on wall street even with the most dire assumptions that it would be this tough. listen, it's a big guessing game of course. it is the kind of thing that

feeds on itself, of course, too. it's the highest in 40 years where i think brian said is the headline here. so many people watching the show probably saying you didn't need the number to be official. i went to the supermarket yesterday or i filled up my car yesterday. the agonizing pain over this is hard to underscore. the only way you really see it, there's a great chart out there. look at the inflation and look at president biden's poll numbers going in exactly the opposite direction. there's nothing there it's more than people working hard every single day and getting less. not that their paycheck is it more. what they really have to spend and what they can do with that paycheck has diminished this much. >> ainsley: if we buy milk or eggs at the grocery store, it's going to be increased by tax 7.5% good we are paying sales tax at the register and in addition to that we are paying this tax. >> inflation is a tax because

your money goes less farther. what you could have gotten it for $10 a year ago would take $11 now or $12. it is a reflection of a tax that in and of itself is what deteriorates, you know, it crashes everything. it is like rest in a pipe in your homes. it's like termites in your house. it deteriorates the foundation. that is why it is a tax. it crashes everything that you have worked for. and you are going backwards in life instead of forward. milk, soybeans, corn, and all is going absolutely through the roof. you know, this is the consequence, though. when you spend a lot of money, president biden took a victory lap, victory number. there is a consequence when you spend a lot of money. it's like going out and partying all night. it's a lot of fun. when you are knocking them back, it's a lot of fun when you're laughing with their friends peered when the bill comes due, when the hangover comes, it's

not as much fun. many times people say if i had to do it all over again, i would do it the same way. >> brian: some of the levers that play into this, no one knows this better than you, people talk about the supply chain. people like my energy places. people talk about the 1.9 trillion in the so-called rescue package that rescued i don't know what. he refers to it all the time. larry summers says it's going to fuel inflation and people got mad at him on the left. those factors i mentioned -- did i leave anything out and what would you want to underline? >> larry summers worn. it's not that he talked about after the fact. let's give them props. he begged to the administration not to do this. talking about one of the top democrat economists. he begged them not to do this. he said this would be the consequence. the war on fossil fuels i think is even a bigger self-inflicted wound. we are blessed to have this fuel out of our feet that we learn how to get out and in different ways.

if the number one thing when you go out to fill up your car or heat up your home, at the self-inflicted wound. we need to call off the war against fossil fuels. president biden could do that today. he can do that today. >> brian: really quickly here, obviously, it is not transitory. the administration tried to explain it away. now that we have this inflation, how do we get rid of it? >> there's another part of this equation and that is the federal reserve which pumped a whole lot of money into the economy. throwing jay powell under the bus. we are going to see what they do. here's the problem. if you want to see there's a way to heal the patient without killing the patient bear the federal reserve has to make sure that what actions they take don't push us into a recession. that is the dilemma they find themselves in. the ball unfortunately is in the feds court. again, there's not going to be a lot of help with the biden administration. president biden still want to

send out more checks. it's all up to jay powell and he's got a heck of a dilemma on his hands. >> thank you so much. we will be watching your show later. the party of covid mandate struggle and the midterms. the new campaign targeting democrats for their role in keeping kids out of class. >> brian: plus, the return of mattress mat, the texas furniture retailer placing a record-setting bet on the super bowl. the draw dropping wagers to the head. my plaque psoriasis... ...the itching... the burning. the stinging. my skin was no longer mine. my psoriatic arthritis, made my joints stiff, swollen... painful. emerge tremfyant®. with tremfya®, adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis... ...can uncover clearer skin

>> brian: two conservative learning groups release a new ad tying democrats to school closures and classroom mass requirements. a six-figure national campaign is meant to highlight the human cost of strict mandates pushed by the left. joining me now is state government leadership director and cofounder of into america. thank you both for being here. tell me about the campaign. it tell me about these policies that you are promoting or highlighting in this ad campaign that you hope to see some accountability when it comes to politics. >> thank you so much for having us on. we have been told since the beginning of the pandemic at these restrictions are placed on our children have been all about the medical science. that's not true. it has been about the political science. our children see hollywood elites getting back to live as they know. they see democrat politicians posting a photo unmatched in a room full of students that are

masked. the democrats hypocrisy knows no bounds. it's time to stop. >> in new york city, the match mandates have begun. except in schools where children will remain masked. you hear for example the leader the president of the american federation of teachers saying we need to stay with us until we are basically add a note transmission rate. covid zero rate. children matched until that impossible standard. >> i look at this as a mom of three and i look at this as a cofounder of a nonprofit that is focused on problem solving in suburban areas. they just have this wrong. it's antiscience, its anti-kid. these kids are losing a generation. as a small business owner, i know that we can do this better and our leaders have failed us. there's an entire generation of people who are fed up. as a mom who is focused on what my children are missing, they

missed memories. they've missed programs. we need to get back and look at what this is really about. it's about the mental health and well-being of our children but we are losing an entire generation of children over this policy. >> will: that's what it's about on the cost side of this equation. what in your mind has it been about on the other side? the policy side of this equation as you point out, it was about science. so why that teachers unions and democratic politicians push these policies? >> it spent about politics, right? while i am pleased that they are removing some of the match mandates, it shouldn't take a red wave in virginia where republicans swept and a fed up add that we produced for these democrats to do a focus group to tell them that their policies have to change. republicans have been leading there states the right way. we have red states where we have

been pragmatic about the approach with where i am in mississippi. where you could have both. you could do the right thing and protect your children by keep them in school. the democrats have been leading our children down the wrong path. for the last several years. >> will: you have the ad out in the question becomes, how long are people's memories? as we emerge from these pandemic in these restrictions are those in the, will people make these politicians pay for what has occurred over the past two years? >> you know, i think so when you look at what happened this last week with reactionary governors seeing poll numbers, you look at new york, california, illinois. it's great that they roll back mass mandates on grounds but they didn't roll them back on kids and i can promise you that there is no memory longer than a parent. the parents have seen the irreparable damage done to their kids and they will remember that come november in election season.
