yesterday on this show we announced that elon musk bought a little less than 10% of twitter. so now the question is will elon musk make it more mainstream, more down the middle, less to the left? >> ainsley: he tweeted out he said do you want an edit button? and he attached yes or no, his own little survey here. and i would say conservatives would say no, we don't want edit buttons and we don't want to be censored. twitter is known for censors certain stories and shutting you down if you are a conservative. i'm sure this really freaked twitter out. >> steve: the whole idea behind a edit button. jack doors j said as recently as 2020 we will never have that. if you do a tweet and you misspell something. you can't fix it. >> pete: on instagram you can edit your post on twitter it's done. steve: twitter made sure you couldn't do that. the ceo after he tweeted that out he went on twitter and said

the consequences of this poll will be very important. please vote carefully. >> pete: that's exactly what elon musk said about a week ago. when he tweeted do you want -- do you feel like this is a place where free speech is stifled? and it was a 70/30. 70% of people who answered his poll said it was. he said please answer carefully this poll is important. turns out certainly after that he went and bought the largest stake in twitter. 9.2%. >> ainsley: $3.5 billion now. and twitter stock surged 30% because of this. is he an inventor and he recognizes that free speech is under assault and he put his money where his mouth is. he could actually, he has enough money to take over this platform if he wanted. to say i don't see him as someone who would want to censor. i'm sure a lot of people are worried about this. do you want these platforms that offer free speech and even if that means a speech you don't like. but he has been a patriot. he owns the electric car company. all the left should love him and

they don't because is he actually producing something that they are in favor of. these electric cars to get us away from oil and gas independence. >> steve: where did he move the company? he moved it to texas. >> pete: right. >> ainsley: he was so brave he said that extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. we need to be producing more oil and gas even if that's going to hurt his bottom line he was a patriot saying our gas prices have gone so high people can't afford electric cars yet. we don't have enough of them yet. in the meantime we need to produce more oil and gas. >> steve: he has been a critic of joe biden's. he moved to texas because he does not like all the red tape of california and the high taxes and there are no state taxes there as well. you know what in the reaction from republicans was immediate. number of republicans including representative lance gooden says he hopes musk will protect free speech. the fact that the world's richest man chose to buy outright twitter rather than develop a new platform shows

twitter's power. stepping up to protect free speech. congress must act to put the rest of big tech in their place. he might be able to bring twitter to the middle of the road. what about the other stuff? what about google? what about all that stuff? >> pete: last night, tucker made a point in saying elon musk may have bought the largest share of twitter but he has put a big old target on his back. this is what he said. >> let's be very clear. this is not a business transaction. it's much bigger than that elon musk is a massive threat to the way things are. by definition it will not be long before they are calling him a racist. you can mark your calendar. tonight there are democratic operatives studying everything elon munk has ever said in public. they are preparing one of the nastiest campaigns of character assassination in memory no. choice but to do this. restoring free speech to twitter is the greatest possible threat to the people in charge. they have to control the information. if they don't, they fall.

>> pete: that's great point. it's not that elon musk is a conservative per se. it's that he is a free thinkinger. >> steve: right. >> pete: that's what used to be, twitter used to be an open field of free thought. now the blue check marks like blue think leftist police that thought and the corporate types at twitter have been happy to enforce it. they pushed off donald trump. they pushed off a lot of conservatives. if he were to open that up, it opens up the conversation in america. and even if you are not on twitter, it means that that conversation at the very least is more even-handed which was the point to begin with. >> steve: there are a lot of observers in that space that say that he's expected to use his block of shares to influence the company to a more open model with fewer content moderation measures. i think you, pete, have been blocked by twitter? >> pete: yeah. >> steve: the former president of the united states it looks like indefinitely blocked on twitter. i think it was kellyanne conway -- no, it was not. it was monica crowley yesterday

who wondered she was former treasury official from this show. she wondered if elon musk would help unfreeze donald trump's account given the fact that you really want all the opinions out there, she argues, you probably should let the former president come back to twitter. >> ainsley: we will see. it's very exciting though for people who are sick of all the censorship. >> pete: the left has determined that speech is violence. that's their argument on some of these things. if he attempted to bring donald trump back, which he should, the target is even bigger on his back. >> steve: imagine you work at twitter, right? and you are a super lefty and you wake up and elon musk now owns four times more stock than jack dorsey who started the company. gefing to put us more in the center. if you work at twitter, what are you thinking today? >> ainsley: depends on, i guess, what your politics are. >> pete: you should be happy about it but now are not.

of using the term genocide the same day that ukrainian president got a firsthand look at the devastation left behind by all these russian forces in the city of bucha outside of kyiv. >> pete: griff jenkins is outside on the ground of kyiv. >> good morning, steve, ainsley and steve. you mentioned the president not calling it genocide. well, when president zelenskyy addresses the u.n. security council just hours from now he will accuse vladimir putin and russian troops of just that genocide. in his address last night though, he spoke directly to the russian people. listen. >> the time will come when every russian will learn the whole truth about who their fellow citizens killed. who gave the orders. who turned the blind eye? we will establish all of this and make it known globally. >> this after zelenskyy toured bucha and told reporters there, quote: we want you to shoat world what has happened here. comes also as new satellite

images show bodies strewn in the street in mid march when russia was occupying the area that contradicts claims that russian forces were responsible for the after the russians left. now after what putin did in buchamany worry a possible cheml attack could come next. jake sullivan wouldn't elaborate. >> russia will pay a severe price. we have communicated to them directly. i'm not going to go further in terms of this specific -- >> as for the next phase of the battle, pentagon says russian troops and mercenaries are starting to head in eastern europe where the fighting is intensifying and down in the south in mariupol whereas many as 130,000 are believed to be trapped, there are reports of a civilian cargo ship being fired upon by russians at sea. we expect later today at the white house more on president biden calling for a war crimes trial as you mentioned, steve. for vladimir putin at the white house they were a bit unclear on

how exactly that would happen. steve, ainsley, pete? >> well, yeah, because, griff, to your point, our white house correspondent says you know, if you declare him a war criminal and you want to have a trial, first of all, where is it? the white house didn't really have any details. but you have got to prove intent. and the wig thing, griff, is how are they going to get putin? putin going to give himself up? i don't think so. >> well, that's a very good question there is a lot of questions, also, about who really should be in the lead on. that was is it the u.s. or should it be the european commission? i know that the commissioner for the european commission ursula will travel to kyiv soon and perhaps she will perhaps maybe get some direct today collect there for that. a lot of questions right now. but one thing can you count on is i doubt vladimir putin is going to be willing to accept a subpoena and show up in any sort

of official appearance. look, this war is now in day 41. one thing is very clear to all who are observing it, that is that the next phase is coming and going to focus on eastern donbas region. we may be in much more ahead. so when you are talking about war crimes trial, there is going to be a lot more to add to the list in just what happened in bucha and we still have very little information on what has transpired in mariupol that i just mentioned down there that southern sea port city. it is absolutely under siege for 41 days in some of the worst maybe yet to be known, steve, ainsley, pete? >> ainsley: thank you. keeping us up at night. i couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. i'm looking at news stories what's happening over and there the images are horrific too much to even show on a morning television show. mass graves with body parts sticking out of the ground and then you read the stories of the mayor of one of these towns

outside of kyiv. she was killed. her husband was killed and her son was killed and they are showing pictures of their family. and then you look at griff and see these buildings behind him. that's what these towns looked like before. you said was it you that said yesterday, someone said yesterday that when you go to afghanistan it's a different war even though it's awful and so sad to see anyone go through this. when you look at these towns they look like cities like lviv and new york and totally demolished and the smear tortured and killed and so is her son and husband. >> pete: supposed to be putting a pinch on putin. we reported over the weekend actually his i'm ports are increasing. >> steve: surging. >> pete: 320 billion up 08 billion from last year because the price of oil suspect india, china and germany other countries still willing to buy russian energy. as far as his coffers are concerned supposed to slow him

down he wants to fight for the eastern part of ukraine that is vladimir putin he can if he wants. to say. >> steve: russia is not feeling the pinch the way we want him to. 6:21 in the east and carley joins us with the news. >> carley: good morning. we are going to started with a fox weather alert. severe storms sweeping across north texas 5 million people are on tornado watch. one fire department special operations team conducting three water rescues overnight. four people were saved after their cars were swept away. a grand jury ghns hunter biden's federal tax probe was reportedly asked about a planned business deal with a chinese energy firm that potentially refers to president biden in code. according to the "new york post," an email from one of hunter's business partners on march 13th, 2017, plan included 10 held by h for the big guy. in addition, emailings also show current chief of staff ron klain solicited a $20,000 donation

ago you told parents to trust you, that you would unmask our toddlers. 10 days ago you stood right here and you said that the mask was would come off april 4th. that has not happened. you reneged on your promise not only did you renege on your office you had your lawyers court friday night to overturn the state court itself. >> no, no. let her finish because you let her start. go ahead and finish, ma'am, knock but you have got to come to a conclusion. come to a conclusion and turn on your phone so you can get my answer correctly. council to a conclusion. >> you told us our that you would trust me unmask your toddlers when we unmask our toddlers. >> thank you. as i stated as you indicated i made the announcement that we were looking-to-announce today, which is monday, to take the masks off 2 to 4 years old i also stated if we see an uptick, we will come back. i'm living up to my promises. if i have to pivot this ship and

have other adults do something different, i'm going to do so. >> steve: so, that woman her name is daniela jam pel she worked for the city of new york in the law department. and within an hour or so after she asked the mayor that question, she was fired. >> pete: that's quick. >> steve: but the city says we had already decided to fire her about some stuff she tweeted about her job and representation different people in the city on friday. coincidence? >> ainsley: she probably has a case. she is lawyer. we will see what happens. but is this retaliation because she confronted the mayor for going back on his word and being upset that her toddlers have to go day care and preschool with masks on after he told her earlier they were going to be able to take them off april 4th. he did say the numbers are ticking up that's why i went back. i changed what i -- you know, he

said i was going to look at the numbers. i looked at the numbers. and they have gone up. so i will make them stay in a mask. but people are up in arms about this because the adults don't have to wear the masks now but the children do. and they are less at risk. >> pete: i will make the kids who were never at risk keep wearing a mask? it's insanity. it really is. >> steve: they should, the people who don't like that should travel two miles and go to new jersey because the children there don't have to. i mentioned that he was standing in front of a billboard that said say anything you want to. he was also talking about how a big ad agency has donated billboard time to recruit people who have moved from new york to florida. because florida currently has got -- you know, that. >> ainsley: parental rights bill. >> steve: parental rights and education bill which critics call the don't same gay bill. the mayor wanted to make very

clear new york city a is a place where we don't feel the way they do in florida so come here. >> pete: clearly. >> ainsley: the mayor is partnering with private companies to eject digital billboards in orlando, tampa and west palm beach over the next 8 weeks. if you live down there. see these rerecruiting floridians to come back to new york city. here he is, here is the mayor. >> we are targeting fort lauderdale, jacksonville, tampa and west palm beach. we believe we are going to get 5 million and up for 8 week period celebrating diversity and acceptance of new york city. i'm the mayor of this city. the city of the lgbtq plus community as we see people in government and out of government understanding how your voice is respected here in the city. and that's what this movement of don't say gay is about.

this political shomanship of attempting to demonize a particular group or community is unacceptable. and we are going to loudly show our support and say to those who are living in florida. listen, we want you here in new york. we want you right here in new york city. >> pete: what a deal. so you are a young family down in florida. you are living in a peaceful community. good pay, good weather. paying no income taxes at the state level. your kids are not being told at the age of 4 what gender identity they might be and you haven't been wearing a mask for two and a half years. come to new york where you can get mugged, pay more taxes, the weather is garbage, and, you know, your kids can get indoctrinated and if you are had you can wear a mask. sounds like a great campaign. >> ainsley: take 40% of your paycheck. >> steve: they don't want kids between kindergarten and 3rd

grade discussing sexual orientation and things like that in school. is the mayor saying we're going to do that here? >> pete: come here so we can do that to your kids? >> ainsley: i took it as that. >> steve: okay. i want to meet the people who are going to take him up on that. >> pete: good luck. >> ainsley: lot of schools that are teaching that. there are trust me. i have have gone in the middle of it. >> pete: they are absolutely teaching it in public and private schools gender identity taught at the youngest levels. incredibly dangerous. ainsley: what florida is doing the teachers have to say talk to your parents about this. let the parents control the narrative. some parents might want them to learn that. that's their choice. some parents don't want their kids be taught that at early age and that's their choice. >> steve: if that's happening in new york city and you don't like it move to florida. >> ainsley: a lot of people have. >> steve: me mail us at friends@foxnews.com or we are also on facebook.

milley before the armed services committee. my question is focused on two things. one, we're providing weapons, yes, but we need to provide more sophisticated weapons and number two, where is the training that goes alongside it? the nato commander last week testified that we are not conducting any training, pete, and you well know you can't provide some of these more sophisticated weapons like counter battery radar to go after their artillery and hand him instruction manual as you load it on the truck. you actually have to provide the training and we are not doing it. >> pete: before but not anymore. and then the weapon systems are going to them. >> that's right. we stopped it. mainly we focused oon training the javelins all these other things that finally belatedly too little too late providing now and congress is pushing them to provide. let why aren't we conducting

that training in poland or some other country they can actually operate it the final thing this and this is the big policy question. why aren't we supporting zelenskyy in an effort to win, to actually drive russia completely off of ukrainian soil. they just struck into russia proper in that oil field that the ukrainians just hit. are we going to actually continue to help ukrainians go on offense even if that means hitting inside russia or will biden decide that's too escalatory and provocative and start pumping the brakes? those are the policy issues we need to get to right now. >> pete: those are the questions to ask for sure. another topic the so-called don't say gay bill which doesn't say gay and has been totally mischaracterized from the beginning the florida parental rights law. the white house was asked about it yesterday and they are standing behind it they are refusing to talk about at what age kids, children should be taught about sexual orientation

and gender identity. here is the exchange between jen psaki and own peter doocy. >> what about this new law in florida? at what age does the white house think that students should be taught about sexual orientation and gender identity? >> as we look at this law, what we think is a reflection is of politicians in florida propagating misinformed hateful policies that do absolutely nothing to do address the real issue. this is a politically charged harsh law that is putting parents and lgbtq plus kids in a very difficult heart breaking circumstance. >> pete: so she didn't answer the question and totally mischaracterized the bill which simply says parents should deal with this sex and gender thing maybe when they are in kindergarten. >> let me help her out. let me tell you what the answer is not. we should not be teaching sexuality to 5-year-olds, to

prekindergartens. to first graders, second graders. it's just unacceptable. that kind of issue, even if it would come up, i know you are a dad, pete, so am i. i don't see that coming up with 5, 6, 7-year-olds. >> pete: not unless the adults bring it up. >> that's right. that needs to be handled at home, number one. number two, right now the united states is sitting 31st in the world in math. and i believe ninth or tenth in reading. let's teach reading and writing to our kindergartens through first graders. at the core of this, pete, is parents taking their children's education back. this is a parental bill of rights in terms of taking charge of their education in florida and that's what this bill is going to do. it's supported by a majority of floridians. >> pete: for sure. governor desantis leading the way and others standing behind him. common sense, basic decency and yet look at the way it's been

demonized. one last thing real quick. former green beret, national guard congressman and children's book if as well. tell us about dawn of the brave coming out today? >> this is a book about supervisors. about team work. about serving a cause greater than yourself. it's intended for 6 to 10-year-olds. it's part of a subscription. you get one a month. if you go to brave books.com, it is not available on amazon. brave books.com. and each month you get a book focused on different family values on faith, on family. in this case on team work and on serving your country. and all of the characters come together to defend freedom island from a group of pirates who want to take their freedoms away. we are really excited about it pete, $15 of every description goes to samaritan's purse for

kind of in a hurry to get things done. if we could do away with the 14 hour clock and let more flexibility in the hours of service would be a lot better off. >> steve: one of the other details and i know you told one of our producers that you were surprised that they didn't really talk much about the reasons truck drivers are leaving the industry. one of them is and i didn't realize this. when you drive a big truck like that, you wind up spending, according to you, 58 minutes a day looking for a place to park so you can take a mandated sleep break or a rest break. the government has got to change that right? recommendation yeah. that's correct, steve, the parking problem, this is not something that's new just since this administration has took office. it's been in existence for probably the last 15 or 20 years. obviously it's worse on either of the east coast or the west coast or if you are close to any metropolitan area. but, when you have to take these rest breaks.

you have to find a place to park somewhere. and, unfortunately, a lot of times these guys wind up and girls wind up parking alongside the interstates on exit ramps and not a safe place to park number one because you could be run into by someone not paying attention. it's a bad situation all the way around and something that we really need to be done with something done with, you know, as fast as possible. >> steve: sure. you know, if i were a truck are, the number one issue that would be top of mind with me right now is the price of gas. tell us if you would, monty, how much it costs you to fill up your truck a year ago and how much it costs you last time you filled it up. >> it's about double from a year ago. i think it was around 2 something, maybe $3 and right now it's been hovering around $5. so maybe not quite double. but it's, you know, quite a bit more than it was a year ago.

>> steve: and you know, i can't imagine how many hundreds of dollars it takes to fill up your rig, that cost gets passed along to everybody, doesn't it? >> yeah. it does. and i was just looking -- i was talking to one of my owner operators from last week. he spent $2,500 last week in fuel. >> steve: unbelievable. >> on his -- what he did last week. steve in the meantime the president opened the strategic petroleum reserve 180 gallons to take us up to the mid terms that looks more political than actually helpful because the price of gas has only gone down, i think, six cents in the last week or so. monty, thank you very much for pulling over and talking to us today in cincinnati. >> all right. thank you, steve. >> steve: you bet. good luck. all right. still ahead on this tuesday. it's election day in the state of wisconsin. and education is expected to play a major role at the ballot box. republican candidate for governor rebecca kleefisch is

governor, mother of two girls and current gubernatorial candidate rebecca kleefisch joins us now. good morning to you. >> good morning, ainsley. how are you this election day? >> doing well. today is a big day for you guys in wisconsin. why is education taking center stage? >> it is because parents are furious. they are seeing how these out-of-touch leftists and school board members who have aligned themselves with the far fringes of the democrat party have taken over at school districts. wisconsin is the state that has a legislator who literally said if parents want to say in their kids' education they should home school or pay private school tuition. parents are fed up and we are taking back control. >> ainsley: we saw the parents were heard in virginia. are they being heard in wisconsin. >> they will be by about 9:00, 10:00 tonight, ainsley because i have i am endorsed in more than

100 races today. it is time republicans stop standing on the sidelines. we get involved in these local races we need to take back control school woods, county board all the way up flute governorship to the state of wisconsin. that's why i'm running for governor. and i have a lot of friends across the state running for local office today so i urge everyone to get out and vote. these races are so important and so accountable to the people. >> ainsley: what about the money being spent? i was reading an article saying republicans have invested 70,000 in school board candidates. democrats invested less than 10,000. why is that? >> because we believe we need to take back control and now is our moment to do it. democrats have done this for years, ainsley. and it's only now that republicans are getting involved and taking back control at the local level that they are crying about it call the wambulance. they have been trying to take

back our school boards, town councils and our county boards for decades. and we have noticed the incursion they have made. there was no better relation during dove help parents wake up seeing our kids in masks. seeing two years of learning loss. and now an epidemic of anxiety and depression among our kids. it's time for this to stop. and it's time for us to take back control. so we are doing it. >> ainsley: the liberal governor there tony evers vetoed a school choice expansion. he vetoed a school transparency bill. how do you feel about crt and school choice and transparency? >> ainsley, when i'm governor, we are going to ban the teaching of critical race theory in wisconsin schools because we are essentially banning the teaching of hate. we will have full transparency and curriculum. you shouldn't have to go to school board meetings or pry teachers for their curriculum. we need that up online so parnghts parents know right

away. same day vetoed five pro-life bills and transparency in our state. yet, he called himself the education governor which is comical because wisconsin, which is the birthplace of school choice is something that we should be celebrating. opportunities for parents to choose the best place for our kids and as governor, i'm going to make sure that we're going to have universal school choice. education dollars actually following a child's education not buildings and bureaucrats. >> ainsley: rebecca kleefisch thanks so much for joining us. >> thanks ainsley. >> ainsley: you are welcome. the next hour of "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ >> former president barack obama returning to the white house. >> to celebrate this 12th anniversary of the affordable care act. >> continues to talk regularly. are real friends not just washington friends. >> another staffer is set to depart vice president kamala harris office. 12th person to leave her staff. >> deputy chief of staff led for the exit. >> these are dream jobs and she

shop up in philadelphia from wilmington and so during the trucker strike years later when i was a young senator, there was a guy who -- ran steel from beaver steel out to ohio. he called and he said big ten wanted me to come in. i forget exactly how he said. only woman truck driver i ever knew i met that day. she said this is big momma, no room. [laughter] square to god, true story. swear to god. i got a united states senator driving my truck. he said i got the damn president in mine. so what? i will never forget that i was very powerful guy. anyway. that's no surprise some drivers left their jobs. the workforce is getting older, not that i am but they are. [laughter] i used to drive a truck, it's a long story. anyway. it's getting hard and i thought i was going to get to drive one of these suckers today. anyway, that's another story,

true. >> steve: who knew that he was a driver of a truck. it's like the story where he likes to tell the story about the amtrak conductor who congratulated him for more miles on the train. that story has been debunked. if big momma heard that story and wants to, you know, reveal herself, then maybe she could verify that story. >> pete: welcome on the show. >> ainsley: had you great interview with a trucker a while ago. didn't talk about why the truckers are leaving the industry, 300,000 leaving the industry every year right now. and many of them say it's because of high gas prices, the insurance is high. the repairs are high. he said it takes him 58 minutes to find a place to stop, to find a place to park so he can take a breath. >> steve: have that regulated rest break he takes an hour a day to find drugging.

>> ainsley: one trucker # $500 to fill up his tank. >> pete: a lot of independent drivers want to stay independent. california forcing union rules on them and putting them out of business. >> ainsley: his trucker friend spent 2500 last week in fuel. >> pete: wow. >> steve: as we look there at the white house yesterday, you know, it would be the pinnacle of a career for somebody to be able to say i once upon a time worked at the white house. that's like a dream job. so many people have tried so hard to get jobs at the white house for various administrations. and, yet, you look at the revolving door in the west wing of the people who worked for kamala harris, the vice president, and now with the staff exodus as you can see right there, there are two columns of six. the 12th staff member michael, the deputy chief of staff is leaving -- i don't think he has announced what he is going to do. he just says i'm getting out of here. is he going to stick around, i think, until may. the white house says, you know,

don't read too much into it. this is normal after a year of an administration. but nonetheless we have heard all those stories about how she is very hard to work with. then there have been stories leaked people are presumably by the west wing. the staff has no focus because she is not a good leader. so they are just running out the door. >> ainsley: she has a bad approval rating for so many different reasons. he advised the vice president on domestic and international issues. helped manage the staff and accompanied her on these foreign trins. so she has got to find someone to replace him. she also did hire a new speech writer because her other one departed in february. >> steve: she needs a better speech. >> ainsley: and she needs a teleprompter. >> pete: or they need a better speaker. the same thing happened in her senate offers. and now it's happening as vice president of the united states. >> steve: has been it's not the staff. >> pete: maybe it's not the staff. and maybe you should listen to the preparation -- imagine being a staffer who helps try to prepare someone.

this has been widely reported and she is effectively saying i don't want to -- i won't do the homework. then you get the befores that she has had both internationally and domestically. that would be very frustrating a year in. >> ainsley: kellyanne conway weighed in on what she could have done to keep her staff. listen. >> it would be so easy for a vice president of the united states, female at that to take on children do. something about education, drug crisis, stuff america would say great, that's a nonpartisan issue. get bipartisan support. she doesn't even try. gave her a russian title to work on the southern border border czar. her boss has gone no times. don't believe us believe her staff. director of speech writer. >> they don't want to work with her. >> they are all gone. they are dream jobs and she has turned them into a nightmare. >> steve: dream jobs turned into a nightmare. to your point earlier, pete, any time there is a trip to any event for an elected official in

the west wing, they get a briefing book. this is what the trip is about. these are talking points and stuff like that. yet, remember, one of the things she is in charge of is addressing the root causes of our migration crisis. so she goes to guatemala. she sits down with the president there. they talk. there is a photo op., next thing you know she is being interviewed by lester holt and talking about how i have been to the super border. goes you haven't been to the southern border. she goes i haven't been to europe either. that obviously is a lack of preparation. and perhaps she just doesn't want to be prepared by the staff. this staff but good news is she apparently is getting the new staff. >> ainsley: she is not only facing this massive staffing problem. she is also at an elementary school where in washington, d.c. where she was maskless but all the kids were forced to wear masks. and ted cruz and andy biggs both republicans. they tweeted out rules for thee but not for me. >> pete: think about how deep inside the bubble you have to be

to as a leader who is trying to, you know, drag the country out of -- here some of the footage from yesterday. out of this covid environment. you walk into a school without a mask all of the kids are masked. remember ron desantis all the criticism he got when he walked up to the podium hey guys if you want to take off this mask can you it's political theater. it's not a thought for her. the thought is i'm the vice president i can do this. if you are watching this in florida or tennessee or any of the other states in this country. there are still kids in masks in washington, d.c. and new york city and it's mind-blowing and they don't care because that's the world they live. in. >> ainsley: so sad. >> steve: larger dynamic why are all these stories coming out from the west wing about her? i mean, there are stories about, you know, the "new york times" and "the washington post" are now doing the hunter biden story. either because hunter is about to get indicted or they want to squeeze joe biden out for the 2024 election.

okay. squeeze him out. who is left? her. they are trying to disqualify her to open it up for prance the guy who was at the event yesterday pete buttigieg. >> ainsley: or michelle he obama. i don't know if she would do it. >> pete: early 2023 politically inside the democratic party is going to be very interesting. >> steve: because every projection by people who analyze this stuff store for a living say the republicans are going to have a really good november. >> ainsley: get your midterms and start hearing about who is running for president. hand it over to carley for headlines for us. >> carley: i certainly do. update on major story here. the first suspect arrested in connection with this weekend's deadly shooting in downtown sacramento. set to face a judge today. diondre martin is accused of assault with a deadly weapon. unlawful firearm possession and the city's d.a. says martin could face upgraded charges. authorities still searching for additional suspects of all six

i have heard this. 7,000 a day is not sustainable in multiple respects. it overwhelms the communities in texas, arizona that have to absorb this population. it overwhelms catholic charities. it overwhelms the border patrol and ice and their ability to keep up with these numbers. obviously it overwhelms the biden administration politically. this is affecting his approval ratings. we just have to -- we have to enforce border security and we have to send the message that we are enforcing border security. >> pete: this administration is not. why have they not made that emphasis? why are they not securing the border? they may say every once in a while oh we have or we want a secure border don't come. don't come. but the de facto policy is. >> they are actually sending people back. they are actually sending people

back. >> pete: that's not the message they are giving. >> when i was in office you have to -- first of all in washington you have to repeat things 25 times before anybody listens. i used to go central america, i would stand at the bottom of the stairway to the plane returning back to gawts hand honduras and bring the cameras to show people in central america that we were actually sending people back. immigration is a very market sensitive phenomena. it reacts sharply to perceived and real changes in our enforcement policy up here. so, the lifting of title 42, i'm sure that news is circulating right now in central america. if i had would have my druthers and i don't, i would have argued can we lift this perhaps later in the summer when it gets hotter and the numbers do slow down. where right now in the peak season. longer term, you have got to deal with the push factors.

we can throw a lot of defense on our southern border. we can enhorse -- i have learned this hard lesson from owning this it for three years. you have to deal with the push factors. in central america, the reasons why families are making the basic desperate decision to come here in the first place even if they know they are going to be apprehended and they may only have a chance to stay here three years it can be begun. we began this five, six years ago and beginning to make a difference. successive administrations have to make a commitment to addressing the push factors. only way to deal with this problem effectively. >> ainsley: we have all been watching horrible images out of ukraine and hearing stories of death and destruction. i know the president has said he wants the president to face war crimes. he wants a trial for war crimes. he also said when he walked back his comments for putin's removal. and you had said i wish he hadn't done that or he shouldn't have done that explain that. >> he is a war criminal.

he has committed the crime of aggression. he has committed crimes against humanity. his commanders in the field are committing atrocities against innocent civilians in ukraine. and what president biden was expressing was what virtually everyone in the western world agrees, a person like that, with command control of nuclear weapons, should not remain in power. that's not necessarily a shift in u.s. government policy. it's just a statement of reality. so, yes, i don't think the president should walk that back. i don't think the white house should have to walk that back at all. this is a very serious situation, obviously. the thing that i would urge us to remember is the key, my judgment is social media in russia. older population in russia watches conventional tv. government sponsored tv which gets filtered. social media is a different story. younger russians are on social

media. so, we have got to keep pushing into russia what their government is doing to innocent men, women, and civilians in ukraine. >> steve: i think you are probably right. that would be great. start at the grassroots level. the kids show grandpa and grandma that's not what's happening. >> exactly. >> steve: that's not what i saw on channel 2. jeh johnson former secretary of homeland security thanks for being here always a pleasure. ains be i ains always a pleasure, yes. >> pete: energy companies fighting back after president biden claims they are the ones fueling high gas prices. the president of an oil company reacts to biden's blame game. that's next. ♪

that oddly satisfying feeling when you don't do it yourself. this isn't just freight. these aren't just shipments. they're promises. promises of all shapes and sizes. each, with a time and a place they've been promised to be. a promise is everything to old dominion, because it means everything to you.

>> pete: as the biden administration looks to pass the blame nor high gas prices two american energy companies are fighting back.

the american energy alliance launching an ad campaign blaming the biden administration for sending, quote mixed signals on energy production. while our next guest will testify before a senate committee today western energy alliance president kathleen joins me now. thank you so much for being here. where does the blame lie with this? there is a lot of finger-pointing the biden administration is saying it's price gouging. the permits are available they are not willing to take them. what do you say when they try at this moment to make it look like it's the oil and gas industry that's to blame? >> well, i don't think it's very constructive to worry about pointing fingers and bassing blame. i think it would be better if the administration just worked with us to increase production because we can help bring those energy prices down low. now, we would love to do that but this administration has placed so many obstacles in front of the oil and gas companies that it's time to reverse course on some of these policies so that we can have

assurance that we can mo forward and help reduce those energy cost. >> pete: you talk about the administration working with you if you go back and roll the tape from the campaign trail. they have said their goal is to end your industry all together. so, that doesn't seem like much room to work together. is this survival right now for the oil and gas industry under this administration just hoping policies change in the future? >> well, you know, i don't know if it's survival per se because reality has caught up with all of this. when the administration first came, in it was all about getting rid of oil and natural gas. president biden's own department of energy projects oil and gas consumption will continue to increase through the year 2050 and beyond. and we will actually produce more than renewables. so reality has sunk. in the administration is now faced with these high costs it's faced with pressure from voters.

and you know, we are going to be able to produce. the thing is can we do it more efficiently? can we do it quicker? can we remove some of the obstacles so that american producers are favored and not iranian and russian producers? >> pete: that's that great point. one obstacle xl pipeline was canceled. the permitting process, the approval process, is it regulations? in a particular way? someone way that you could work together, what would it be? >> right now there is a real push to deny the oil and natural gas industry capital. debank us, decapitalize us. prevent people from lending to us. and so there is a regulation that i have actually been reading through and it's 500 pages but it is all about elevating climate change considerations above the actual

energy needs of people. and so if there was one thing this administration could do it would be backing off that regulation that is meant to deny our industry of capital. >> pete: i believe you are talking about whole esg movement which ultimately is trying to force whether it's lawyers and bankers to make industries like oil and gas or gun manufacturers defact he to out of business because they can't anyone to ensure them or defund them. >> that's right. >> pete: thank you for your time i appreciate it. >> my pleasure. >> pete: check in with senior meteorologist janice dean for fox weather forecast. good morning. >> good morning to everybody out there. not too bad a forecast in the northeast we are getting rain. part of that system is moving across portions of the mississippi valley and southeast where we have thunderstorm warnings in effect. by the way across the northern rockies and northern plains, cold enough for measurable snow. this is the area of concern we have a tornado watch until 11:00

let's talk to former white house press secretary and outnumbered co-host kayleigh mcenany. kayleigh, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. >> steve: we know who the big guy. tony bobulinski said the big guy is joe biden. this goes right to the president. >> right. this goes right to the president. tony bobulinski what he told our own network is accurate. i wonder, you know, he told fox this back in september, october, it was remarkable lack of journalistic curiosity to follow up on a firsthand source, steve, that's what tony bobulinski is he worked directly with hunter biden. he exchanged emails and phone calls. there is an endless track record. really interesting that now the grand jury is asking about who the big guy is according to reports. while there is this relentless effort by the left and the media to say yes, yes. the laptop is real now. but, joe biden wasn't involved. >> steve: how do they know joe biden wasn't involved? >> that's the great question.

and, you know, i had someone, a former aid of mine chad martin say to me it's a great point. ron klain on the sunday shows saying absolutely there is nothing untoward here with the biden family but the same individuals works for president biden who said he never talked to hunter about his business dealings. so how, if you have never talked to hunter biden about his business dealings now been disproven we know president biden did in fact talk to hunter about his business dealings. he didn't talk to him. you just know he did nothing wrong. that makes no sense. >> steve: sure, we have heard about this memo that was apparently on the laptop and it showed, okay, hunter got this much. the other partners got this much. and 10 held by h. the big guy. so, let's see what happens. but, nonetheless, grand jury apparently convened in delaware. you got to figure that is probably where the fbi is holding the atlanta as well. meanwhile, we were talking about this a little while ago. the number 12 departure from the president's staff. a fellow by the name of michael

twitter serves as that affect all public town square, failing to adhere to free-speech principles fundamentally undermines democracy. what should be done? is a new platform needed? is elon musk going to start his own? maybe he is driving the price down to buy more for less. he wanted in on twitter which could have a huge impact. >> ainsley: he brought 9.2% of twitter. that's where $3.5 billion now, because the stock surged 30%. he is an innovator. based on that march to eat, he recognizes that free speech is under assault. he had enough money to buy the whole platform. he could take over the platform. i don't believe he wants to see people censored. the question is, do we want these platforms that offer free speech -- do we want them to offer free speech even if we don't like the speech that is being written on these platforms? >> steve: we've heard about the former president donald trump and truth

social, and social media outlet. they've had some hiccups along the way. there are still regulation problems. it's not completely, you know, as big as a lot of people had wanted to. rather than start his own, elon musk is saying, i've got enough money. i will buy a big hunk of the big one. it is expected that he will use his block of shares to influence the company toward a more open model with fewer content moderation measures. in fact, yesterday after he bought the big chunk, he tweeted this out. "do you want an edit button?" and then the ceo said the consequences of this poll will be important. please vote carefully. the reason is, think before you vote. if you put out a tweet, you misspell something. you can edit it. there have been a lot of users of twitter who said, why can't we do that? jack dorsey always said we are just not going to do it.

now, elon musk has four times more stock than jack dorsey who started the company. >> pete: i went on twitter to find out what the poll results. because i'm not on twitter, i can find it. because people like me and others have been blocked. i got off after they kicked donald trump off the platform as well. a lot of people did. if you don't feel like you could be in a public square where all voices are actually heard, why do you want to be part of being shut down and canceled in silence with so many people are? if he were to bring that back having a place where it is not just left-wing blue checkmarks condescending to you with their own groupthink that's healthy for an actual discourse in the country. we could have a republican candidate for the president of the united states should the president decided to run. he's banned from the de facto place where the political conversations happen. they want it that way because of how useful and powerfully use that platform. >> ainsley: he allows everyone to have free speech. >> steve: he's got enough right now.

he's the biggest stockholder. >> ainsley: that's true. does he have power to say we are not going to censor? >> steve: he will go to the shareholders meeting. why again is donald trump permanently knocked off? all the people -- you have been knocked off. a lot of people have been. there have been so many conservatives that feel like twitter hates me. imagine how many more people would go to twitter if they felt like their opinion which you made perfectly clear a moment ago is welcome. you know, because a lot of people feel like it's just people making fun of -- >> ainsley: elon musk is an interesting guy. he's known as being eccentric, extremely smart. he invented this electric car. you would think the left would love him because he's doing exactly what they want. i don't want us to rely on gas and oil. they want us to be able to plug in our cars, expensive cars, $60,000 minimum. everyone who owns one loves them. you can plug it in and you don't have to go to the gas station. he's also been a brave patriot.

remember when we started seeing gas prices going up, he said extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. he wanted us to produce more oil and gas. the left-wing crazy. he knew he was saying that to be patriotic. that's what our country needs right out to get us all out of the slump. at the same time, he was going to make progressives upset. it was also going to cut into his bottom line. >> he doesn't color inside the lines. for the left, that's what they want. conform to our ideological viewpoint. he says thing that people are thinking kind of like donald trump in that way. tucker carlson last night talked about how buying this kind of steak into it are ultimately also puts a big target on elon musk. >> this is not a basis transaction. elon musk is a massive threat to the way things are. so by definition, it will not be long before they are calling him a racist. you can mark your calendar. like their democratic operatives studying everything elon musk has ever said in public,

preparing one of the nastiest campaigns of character assassination and history. they have no choice but to do this. restoring free speech to twitter is the greatest possible threat to the people in charge. they have to control the information. and they don't, they fall. >> that's what happens when people try to -- he's going to spend his money on a platform and they are going to dig and dig and dig until they find something on it. >> pete: control of the conversation is what they want. they count on a complicit media. they count on social media that browbeat sand blocks and cancels conservatives to do the best they can. how else would lead by the administration message the disaster they given us for the last 1.5 years? if you have free voices, then common sense prevails. the propaganda you push is an effective. >> steve: back to the presidential campaign. a twitter shutdown everybody if you're going to talk about hunter biden. you mention hunter biden in the scandal which we now know is true, we are going to pull the plug on you.

will that have happened if elon musk was the biggest shareholder in 20/20? >> ainsley: we will see. >> pete: today if you say they are two genders, blocks. that's how far we have come. >> steve: and also, what is considered misinformation about covid. there is a new york city mother -- mother of three. she's been on maternity leave for eight weeks. she is the cofounder -- >> ainsley: eight months, i think it's a months. also allow the extension. >> steve: okay, she is the cofounder of keep new york schools open. she went to an event. there were a lot of reporters asking questions. i think they thought she was a reporter, because she got to ask a question of the mayor. and by the end out of the question, about an hour later, she got fired from her steady job. watch this. >> hi, mr. mayor. three weeks ago, you told

parents to trust you that you would unmask our toddlers. ten days ago, you said right here and you said that the masks would come off april 4th. that has not happened. you renege on your promise and not only did you renege on their promise, you had your lawyers raise to court on friday night to overturn -- >> no, no, no, let her finish because you that are started. go ahead and finish, man. you've got to come to a conclusion. come to a conclusion income on your phones and get my answer correctly. >> march 17th, trust me, i would unmask your toddlers. >> thank you. as i stated as you indicated, i made the announcement that we were looking to announce the day which is monday to take the mask off the 2-4 years old, but also stated, if we see an uptick, we will come back. it deliver up to my promises. if i have to pivot and shift and

have other adults do something different, and i'm to do so. >> steve: an hour later, she was fired. the city said, we had already made up our minds to fire her after which she tweeted out on friday. she is a lawyer in the law department. she had to wait it out some stuff that made her job look bad. >> she said she lied to get to that pressure saying she was a journalist for that already plan on firing her before this event. >> ainsley: all of that sort of distracts away from the fact that this is the new york city mayor standing at a podium saying no, i'm standing strong good i will get the mask on the two. >> steve: even though i said i would take them off. i will take them off in april 4th. it's april 4th. sorry, they're given a mask. >> ainsley: there's also this billboard campaign. you know what's happening in florida down with the parental rights law and all these parents are -- many parents are supporting that because they don't want their kids to be taught about sexual orientation than they are in kindergarten, first, second, or third grade. he stood at the podium with all

of these signs. he is saying, we welcome you to new york city. come to the city where you can say whatever you want. is also going to be a digital billboard campaign down in florida. if you live down there you might see some of these signs. he's teaming up with business leaders to put up these signs that say we support you in new york. floridians, you can move to new york if you don't like this parental parent -- this parental rights law. it's going to be i think in wes pahl -- listen to this. >> we are targeting fort lauderdale, jacksonville, orlando, tampa, and west palm beach. we believe we are going to get about 5 million. and they are going to be up for an 8-week period celebrating diversity and acceptance of new york city. i am mayor of the city. this city of the lgbtq plus community. as we see people in government and out of government understanding how voice is respected here in the city. that is what this movement of

"don't say" is about. this political showmanship i'm attempting to demonize a particular group or community is unacceptable. and we are going to loudly show our support and say to those who are living in florida, we want you here in new york. we want you right here in new york city. >> steve: i think he is kind of hurting from the number of people who have moved over the last couple of years of florida. given the fact that the weather is better, the people are friendlier, and there are no state taxes. >> they haven't been wearing masks for to use. crime is not a problem down there. of course, down there, you don't have to worry about your kindergartner being taught about their gender identity. come to new york where you can get mugged. you will have to put a mask on your 2-year-old -- >> ainsley: 50% of your paycheck. >> pete: we will teach your

6-year-old about his gender identity. pizza is out six bucks a slice. it is not that good anyway. it's marginal. my goodness, it's a parody. >> ainsley: there are two signs if you live down in florida paired one will say what we mentioned earlier, "come to the city where you can say whatever you want." >> steve: you can't in florida? >> ainsley: people say -- ""don't say gay" isn't one of them. >> pete: the whole thing is built on a mischaracterization. that is how they do it. that's not what the bill is about. >> ainsley: is just saying teachers at that young age, i don't talk to my kids about the data tell them to come home and talk to their parents. >> pete: it's creepy. >> steve: -- >> ainsley: unless they go home and ask about it. the parents can make the choice to talk about it. >> steve: the problem says what is this mean? i heard abt it for my teacher which happens about different things throughout life.

president volodymyr zelenskyy will address the u.n. security council in about 1.5 hours. as after visiting the devastated city which is just outside of the capital of kyiv. new satellite images showing you the damage the left behind city and the destruction found there after russian troops moved out. russian forces have left the north. zelenskyy visiting this town calling it that will not be forgotten. >> the time will come when every row similar in the whole truth about who their fellow citizens killed, who gave the orders, who turned a blind eye. i wish all of this and make it known globally. >> slapping rusher with further sanctions and expelling the russian diplomat prepresident joe biden responding as well treat these gruesome images of people being carried away in body bags.

>> president biden: we have to gather the information but we have to continue to provide ukraine with their weapons they need to continue to fight. and we have to get all the details for this to be actual have a war crimes trial. -- >> ainsley: the west warning of possible chemical weapons attack by russia. outside, the situation continues to deteriorate with future humanitarian options. finding drinking water out of that bug at their prepresident biden calls for a war crimes trial against russian president vladimir pruden. the concern of course is what exactly that would mean. the likelihood of russia actually taking part in any such trial is very slim especially considering that russia has

denied although these accusations, instead pointing the blame back at ukraine saying that ukraine is behind these violent images. pete. >> president biden is talking about putting putin on a war crimes trial. does he expect putin is going to turn himself in? >> there is precedent in the past of how this process cannot work. we are not going to prejudge what the process would work or what steps would be taken through an international legal process. >> again, a lot of skepticism of what that realistically would mean and whether kayleigh mcenany wow putin would respond to any h investigation. the kremlin continued to deny a lot of these accusations. >> steve: black lives matter under more scrutiny. over how it is spending donors money. as a new report claims black

lives matter leaders use to $6 million in donations to buy a massive beautiful california mansion. fox contributor and civil rights attorney leo terrell joins us right now from los angeles. good morning to you. >> good morning, steve, how are you? >> steve: i'm scratching my head after the summer of 2020, we had heard that black lives matter took and i think $90 million. we wondered what they were going to spend the money on. now we know they spent $6 million on a mansion for themselves. >> steve, living like the rich and famous. i will be very honest with you. $90 million. they basically used black americans for profits. steve, ever since the george floyd death, black lives matter has profited from the george floyd at death. what have they done for the black community? where are they? where is the improvement in education? they use this money for personal

gain. you look at that house. that house does not help black americans. it is basically blood money, steve. it is embarrassing. black people were exploited. black americans were exploited by black lives matter for their personal gain of a few. >> steve: take us back, leo. how did they wind up getting these millions and millions of dollars? big corporations gave millions of dollars. why? >> why? it is a classic shakedown. steve, everyone remembers the george floyd death, a horrific murder. that's be very clear. black lives matter exploited that. black lives matter, the nba, all these major corporations. they wanted to be on the so-called right side of justice. they were on the wrong side. because what has black lives matter -- what has no social groups done other than exploit, shakedown corporations for personal gain, steve?

the black community has not benefited from the $90 million. there is a state investigation into this black lives matter in california. that beautiful home does not benefit black americans. it is not benefit americans at all. >> steve: i understand there is a federal investigation as well. i think i read this morning somewhere. is there a possibility these three women right here who are toasting each other, i think they were all involved in this particular mansion. what sort of peril are they in? when you give money to a charity, it's not supposed to buy somebody a mansion. >> you are absolutely right. the question is, this administration, will this left-wing democratic administration in washington for this deep blue state in california to take any action? i want to look like, right in the eye until everyone read in this country, name one thing

black lives matter is done to benefit black americans in this country? i am waiting. they had $90 million, steve. i'm looking forward to an investigation hopefully in this administration. it probably won't happen. i'm looking for something tangible that black lives matter is done for black americans with all that money. >> steve: they did buy a mansion. let's see what happens next. thank you very much for joining us today. coming up, we are alive along the southern border as a surge of migrants cross into our country. it could get a lot worse very shortly. i don't just play someone brainy on tv - i'm an actual neuroscientist. and i love the science behind neuriva plus. unlike ordinary memory supplements, neuriva plus fuels six key indicators of brain performance. more brain performance? yes, please! neuriva. think bigger. ♪ we could walk forever ♪ ( ♪♪ )

if you have advanced non-small cell lung cancer, your first treatment could be a chemo-free combination

of two immunotherapies that works differently. it could mean a chance to live longer. opdivo plus yervoy is for adults newly diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread, tests positive for pd-l1, and does not have an abnormal egfr or alk gene. together, opdivo plus yervoy helps your immune system launch a response that fights cancer in two different ways. opdivo plus yervoy equals a chance for more time together. more family time. more time to remember. opdivo and yervoy can cause your immune system to harm healthy parts of your body during and after treatment. these problems can be severe and lead to death. see your doctor right away if you have a cough; chest pain; shortness of breath; irregular heartbeat; diarrhea; constipation; severe stomach pain, nausea or vomiting; dizziness; fainting; eye problems; extreme tiredness; changes in appetite, thirst or urine; rash; itching; confusion; memory problems; muscle pain or weakness; joint pain; flushing; or fever. these are not all the possible side effects. problems can occur together and more often when opdivo is used with yervoy. tell your doctor about all medical conditions including immune or nervous system problems, if you've had or plan to have an organ or

stem cell transplant, or received chest radiation. here's to a chance to live longer. ask your doctor about the combination of two immunotherapies, opdivo plus yervoy. thank you to all those in our clinical trials. >> steve: border and signaling with low morale as they report a massive influx. the crisis could get worse as the biden administration prepares to live the trump era policy that limits asylum claims. >> good morning to you. right now, we were in front of a parking garage in downtown brownsville. the reason why, socialists in the me of the federal government will be mass releasing several

hundred illegal immigrants at this location today. you can see one federal bus has already pulled up right now but we are waiting for some of those migrants to get off the bus. what i'm being told as these will be mass parole releases essentially meaning that once they are released to this local ngo, they are asked to please turn themselves into i.c.e. within 15 days or so but we will explain why this is happening. once they do start getting off the bus, feel free to take it live. as we look at these photos, rio grande valley, they have been encountering huge groups of migrants. these photos you're looking at right here is over 500 in just a few separate groups. most of these migrants from central and south america, the caribbean. this sector alone has had more than 250,000 illegal crossings. border patrol facilities are way over capacity. i don't have room for folks right now. they're big on these mass releases.

it's also happening in del rio. if you can take a look at these photos out of the tucson, arizona, sector as well. what you are looking at here is a group of border agents arresting a group of runners dressed in camouflage gear that carpet on their shoes. that is the mask their footprints in the sand. i mention del rio sector if we can pull out this video right here. as a video we shot over the weekend. just over the weekend, there were more than 3200 illegal crossings in that area. that sector is at more than 200,000 apprehensions. their numbers are up 179% over that same time last year. when it comes to these mass releases, you're going to be seeing here shortly, the u.s. border crew chief tells us the federal government has no way of knowing when a migrants criminal record is outside the united states. take a listen. >> we do have access occasionally do some international criminal databases. that is rare. for the most part, they are only

able to run the records checks against the u.s. criminal databases. unless they have been in the u.s. and committed a crime, we are not going to have any idea what they did in another country. >> we had several of those migrants appeared to be all single adult men cannot badmouth right now. it looked like a group of ten or so were waiting for the next batch. this is something we saw back in january as well. we saw the mass releases of the single adult male migrants which is not something, you know, the american public is used to seeing. it's been the family units, the moms, dads. as that sound bite was rolling, they saw about ten young guys get off that bus. you can see at this parking garage right here, here are some more guys getting off right now. they have a black tarp set up. these look like females getting off now, single adult females. they have a black tarp set up. they don't want the public to see what's going on. they walk behind that black little tarp. border patrol releases them here and there is a little processing

center inside. directly across from what you are seeing right now is a local ngo. once these migrants go behind that black tarp, they get processed, they then get walk across the street to the local ngo. they give them little welcome bags, backpacks, that sort of thing. we have seen them call taxicabs for them. they will get taken to the airport which is about 45 minutes away or a little bit closer than that in about 3 minutes away from where we are. they will be free to fly around the country where they want. they will call the buses and cabs. once they are released, they are essentially free to travel absolutely wherever they want. my border patrol sources are telling me again, these are mostly parole releases what you are seeing right here. there's no ankle monitors on any of these folks from what we can see from right here. they are essentially being asked to please turn themselves into i.c.e. in a city of their choosing with an a certain time frame. we are expecting several of these buses all morning long, we are accepting several hundred to be released in this single spot.

i'm told from my sources these releases what you just saw has been happening nonstop every day for the past couple of weeks. because again, border patrol is running out of capacity with the current search. when i'm being told is you can expect all of this to more than triple once title 42 drops on may 23rd. it guys, obviously the federal government anticipating a big problem. because dhs has projected once title 42 does drop, you can expect these crossings every day. we are at 7,000 right now. that would be more than doubling of the current situation. the current situation as you can see, border patrol overcapacity, mass releases taking place pretty much over the border. >> that was my question. this is even before title 42. those weren't family units before we saw a lot of those females it off that bus as you mention. there were about ten males. what is now -- do you know anything about how recently those individuals were apprehended for illegally

crossing the border? under what policy are then put on a bus and released? asking hoping they turn themselves in? >> we don't know how recent they have crossed. we don't have any way of knowing that. what we do know is there are several methods of release. the federal government used to do something that is unnoticed to report which essentially is they get released and are asked, please turn yourself into i.c.e. in a city of your choosing. they did that for a while, and then they stopped doing it. over a few month span, more than 47,000 migrants never showed up. they just disappeared with. we were told they stop doing that. there is a notice to appear. that is a little bit more firm. that's when they get a firm coordinate. you have to be here at ex-date , why time or you could potentially being moved from the country. we are being told an alternate pathway they have started doing. it is called parole.

it supposed to be used in very, very limited circumstances under federal law. it's only supposed to be for significant humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit. right now, they are using it to clear as many people out as they possibly can. >> pete: that's a great explanation. i had not heard that phrase parole. maybe we'll be hearing a lot more of it as the search continues. without you doing when you are doing, we would know about this. thanks so much. please keep bringing those images. we appreciate it. >> thank you, bill. >> ainsley: unbelievable. thank you so much, pete. twitter shares skyrocketing as it is revealed that elon musk is the largest shareholder. the billionaire tesla ceo pulling his followers, asking "do you want an edit button?" jonah me to react, stuart varney. the ceo raptor he says that, the consequences of this poll will

be important. please vote carefully. when we were talking during the break about his tweet in march. he said given the twitter serves as the de facto public town square, failing to adhere to free speech principles but only undermines democracy. what should be done? is a new platform needed? is he going to started on platform? does this mean that he recognizes that free speech is under assault? >> absolutely. that's exactly what he's doing this, i believe. he's paid $2.8 billion for 9% stake in twitter. i think you might go for full control, buy the whole thing. because -- and i want him to do that. i want him to end the left-wing bias, the censorship that is already existing on twitter. they banned president trump for life. you can do that. you are the public square. this is free-speech. you can ban a sitting president of the united states. he ought to take full control

and end the censorship routes to take full control, it would cost them $40 billion. he's got it. he's got $270 billion. he might go for full control. >> we just learned that twitter has just announced that they are appointing him to the board of directors. what does that mean? >> he's got influence. he's making waves already. do you want an edit button yes or no? a "yes" vote is way above the no vote purities making waves. he's going to be on the board are invited to join the board. he's going to have some influence on twitter. the more influence, the better. >> ainsley: where does he stand politically? the left should love him because of the electric cars. >> the left is not love him. i hate billionaires to start with. he also had this fight with senator elizabeth warren about the taxation of the rich. socialist really want to tax the rich big time. but he is a climate warrior. he started the electric car business, his company, tesla

because he wanted to fight that climate change. it's hard to say where he is politically whether he is right or left. i think he is just having a really good time with his money and shaking things up. i think it is great. >> ainsley: they are now announcing he will not be able to own more than 14.9% of the stock. right now he has 9.2%. >> they are giving him influence putting them on the board but limiting the control he would have a how many shares he can buy. i wonder if he will agree with that. i don't know whether musk has agreed to appear on the board. i don't know that. >> ainsley: who makes those decisions? the board votes for that? >> i don't know. he will have to have a deal with a guy who runs twitter. i don't know what the deal is. evidently, his influence is starting to be felt on twitter. i wonder how it plays out. >> thank you so much. we'll be talking about this this morning. you can watch stuart on bonnie

and company. starch during the week and on american belt on monday at 9:00 p.m. eastern time. okay, pete, upstairs to you. >> pete: thank you very much. the federal investigation into hunter biden heating up as a grand jury witness is reportedly pressed about his business with a chinese energy firm. any mail from watertown to -- the plan included 10% held by letter h for that big god. he was the big guy? our next guest has been studying this scandal since he broke. peter is here to react. are we learning more as far as people having to testify in front of this grand jury for hunter biden about who the big guy is? we call this the hunter biden scandal. this really is the biden family joe biden scandal. how do we get to the bottom of how involved joe biden is? >> you are right.

this is the biden family scandal and it involves joe biden. hunter biden and james biden and the other family members who are profiting off of joe biden's position, they are kind of like moons circling a planet. the planet's joe biden. it is the gravitational pull and gives them the ability to cash in and leverage their relatives in the case of hunter biden, his father's power for their benefit. what we know it's clear, we know that the 10% for the big guy refers to joe biden. we know that joe biden was having some of his bills paid by his son while he was vice president of the united states. his son was getting that money from overseas. we know that also hunter biden was paying for other costs for the big guy for his dad, for renovations on his home in delaware, et cetera. you can say this is just a hunter biden financial scandal. joe biden is intimately involved in his deed a beneficiary of

those foreign bonds. >> pete: you done the research into it. maybe a grand jury can confirm it. that might be why the media is reporting some of this. indictments and other things could be coming. we know at the beginning, "the new york post" and others suppress this story. they got intel and a say it was dense information. from "the washington post" and "new york times" and others acknowledging come of this laptop is real in the emails on it are real. some democrats are still in denial. we could play a long series of clips of how they mischaracterized events. talking about hunter biden. he is the house majority leader. he said, i think it is as bogus as it was before. this was on wednesday of last week. i think the hunter biden story was is bogus as it was before. can they continue to deny it? >> i think they are going to try. they have continuously shifted what the story is. originally in 2018 when we first broke the story, they denied

that hunter biden had in the overseas dealings. joe biden said he is never received any money from china. now they are falling back to the position that hunter biden might have had those deals. joe biden was not involved. that domino is starting to fall as well. i think they are going to try too politically. the questions at the grand jury is asking are very significant because one of the reasons we have to continue to have faith in our system is we have a jury system. ordinary americans, average americans are the ones that are going to be sifting through this information. it doesn't matter what span is taking place in washington, d.c. those jurors are looking at it. team biden is very nervous and very concerned that hunter biden is going to be indicted. >> steve: it would restore a lot of faith if they actually did get to the bottom of these business dealings and how they affect the american public. thank you so much for your time. >> thanks. >> pete: you got it. it cost more for a slice of pizza in new york city than a

ticket to ride the subway. up next, here from a pizzeria owner as inflation takes a bite out of his business. first, let's check in with bill hemmer for what's coming up. >> nicely done. good style. good morning to you. major speech and moments. zelenskyy addresses the u.n. security council. we will have it live pretty credit will the world listen? new details about what i jury might be learning. and tracking tiger. this could be a very fun weekend, america. great lineup. , joined dana and me. we shall see you then at the top of the hour. and with rewards points that never expire, you get free nights fast! book now at bestwestern.com. your shipping manager left to “find themself.” leaving you lost. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do.
