the united states. you're watching "fox & friends first" on this thursday morning. i am carley shimkus. >> todd: the latest response on these very important issues but first we turn to get reaction with president biden just a support department to repeal that ruling and the federal transportation may ask mandate appearance be to the trouble getting its message straight ahead of the impending legal battle. lucas tomlinson live from washington, lucas. >> this could be an impact after the judge struck down the cdc mandate on public transportation and justice says they will appeal "cdc has asked to proceed with an appeal. it is cdc's contained assessment that at this time in order to require masking and indoor transportation core door remains necessary for the public health. cdc believes this is a lawful order well within cdc's legal authority to protect public health. the president said america should have the right to choose whether or not to wear a face mask in public.

>> mr. president, could people continue to wear masks on planes? >> talk to them. >> at the white house jen psaki offer this explanation. >> has the president was answering the question quite literally which means right now, as you know we are not implementing them ask mandate because of the court order, which we disagree with while he is still abiding by the cdc guidance, we recommend americans do that across the country. they are recommending people where masts on airplanes. >> earlier at airport bars and waiting across the country people ripping off their mass to be heard all over the world shouts of joy. union leaders pushing back on how this plan unfolded this week. >> the way that this was rolled out, this gave no ability for people to understand what the world wants once again and hear the front line workers and others at the airport and caught holding the bag once again. >> the cdc wanted to study them ask mandate until may 30.

but the justice department would repeal the florida's judge ruling if the mass are still needed on flights. the airline stories did not say exactly which bags they were talking about. guys. >> carley: thank you very much lucas tomlinson we appreciate it. let's bring in a member of the house oversight committee and house education and labor committee, congressman, great to see you with reaction this move by the cdc. >> well, they are finally getting with the program. americans have suffered wearing masks long enough. i think the american people have made their wishes loud and clear. there is no science to back up the need to mask. especially school children. we have seen air filters on the plane make it one of the safest places to be without wearing a mask. so i applaud the courts for doing the right thing. >> todd: the courts made their decision, the cdc now, of course

saying to this point, isn't the doj going along with the cdc is trying to do really setting themselves up for another loss on the government authority to impose restrictions like this? again, why are they taking this? >> this is another attack on our freedom by the biden department of justice. the cdc has been wrong on so many decisions with respect to covid-19. dr. fauci needs to go. he has worn out his welcome. no one in america has any confidence in anything dr. fauci says, whether that is good or bad. it is unfortunate, but dr. fauci has burned every bridge. it is time to go, it is time to get a new face on covid-19 and the biden administration needs to go along with the court, go along with the wishes of the american people and move away from them ask mandate mask mandates. >> carley: luke lucas tomlinson started his piece that this could have affect on midterm elections. what do you think about that?

how will voters perceive that? >> everywhere i go all over the united states, people are sick and tired of these mask mandates appear they are sick and tired of vaccine mandates appear they are sick and tired of covid-19. they realize it is serious, people who want to have been vaccinated and boosted, but it's time to move on. history will show the government lost its mind in shutting down the economy for days and weeks and for making the kids stay at home for over a year worth of virtual learning. this never needs to repeat itself. hopefully, we will learn from our mistakes in history and move forward if you read but i blame dr. fauci for a lot of this. he has been a drama queen throughout this whole process and he's just lost the confidence of the american people. there is no science, there is no research that shows americans need to continue to where masts on airplanes or anywhere else. >> todd: speaking of moving on number of republicans like yourself digging in on covid

origin demanding hhs investigate in detail its alleged cover up further. how deep does this government don't cover up go congressman? >> it goes pretty deep and one thing that represents georgia and myself for over a year of research is that peter holds the key to a lot of the questions that we have. we believe that he can link the pieces to the puzzle to prove that the origination of covid-19 was in that lab in wuhan. but remember the problem that has with eco-health alliance, the problem he has is he was on the initial team to investigate the wuhan lab. and he was funding the american taxpayer dollars for gaining up research which is illegal. so that has been hiding for almost two years now. it is time for him to come clean. he is going to have to come clean.

he can either do it now or republicans come to the majority in february. >> carley: u.n. house minority steve scalise wrote a letter to hhs secretary to investigate the origins of covid-19 pandemic. it is not something we talk about a lot, but in the early days of the pandemic, we do know dr. fauci was told the virus may have actually leaked from the wuhan lab, and then he found out through eco-health, the united states was providing funding to that lab. he had a phone call when all of the scientists said there is no way this disease could have come in nature. after that phone call, it seems like all of those scientists miraculously changed their minds. then you have social media platforms banning, talking about the lab leak theory. is that an accurate summation of what we know right now? >> 100% accurate. and all of that was by the republicans of the house oversight committee.

dr. fauci knew all along that this mad science talk experiment was taking place in the wuhan lab with american tax dollars, which is illegal. he knew that eco-health alliance was out of compliance in initially when covid-19 first happened, dr. fauci's own advisor said, this is obviously a lab leak. this has to be man-made. he, for some reason had a phone call with them. they stopped emailing so we have no more correspondence after that. and also an op ed dr. fauci wrote that said "anyone who said this is a lab leak or man-made is a conspiracy theorist." then they started receiving grants nih for a project working on at the university. there are so many questions and so many ethical violations. dr. fauci has not been honest with the american people. but we believe peter adamczyk holds the key and that is why we

asked to investigate eco-health alliance and at the very least prohibit him from receiving any more american tax dollars. he's received $3.7 million in tax dollars that we have found so far and probably more. he needs to stop receiving american tax dollars, and he needs to come before congress to answer questions. >> todd: texas border patrol agents are arresting child predators and gang members at the border. in the meantime a delay in title 42. they were thinking about billing jen psaki rolling out yesterday. if joe biden won't secure the border to keep out child predators, what possibly could get him to change his attack at this point? >> i have no idea. and what was troubling at the border last week was seeing the evidence of where women were being raped at the border and abortion pills at the border. you saw torn clothing.

the flights that these women are going through because of his open border, it is inhumane. it is unimaginable what these women are going through. then you look at the human trafficking just in kentucky we've had more human traffic in the last 11 months coming from mexico. not to mention 100,000 in america and fentanyl coming across the border. and you have the latest development. this is probably the worst of all of the bad policies of joe biden pure of the worst policy of all is what is going on at the southern border. >> carley: as todd just said, jen psaki yesterday during the press conference did say they are still going to repeal a title 42 in may appear that it is another taking right now but you have to wonder behind the scenes, is that actually what is going on, or are they saying we have a huge problem on her hands, especially considering chris coons who is one of president biden's closest allies saying that he wants title 42 to

remain in place as well? >> yes, the fact that the administration is arguing against the court ruling to prohibit mask mandates on planes but want to do away with title 42 the only toolbox the administration has right now to expel people back to their country who got and came here illegally commit is the ultimate hypocrisy. to think you will see more level headed democrats in both the house and the senate come forward and publicly say this administration needs to keep title 42. >> todd: one more yesterday, democrat tim ryan of ohio a congressman now running for senate joined the chorus of people who said we have to keep title 42 in place to your point and expect more dems especially the ones running to do the same. james: thank you sir. >> thanks for having me. >> todd: now the rnc republican national committee raising $17 million last month bringing the first quarter total to $47 million.

that is $5 million higher than raised by the dnc during that same time national party fund-raising is a key barometer of overenthusiastic and the money raised for party staffing, keep battlegrounds, grassroots, and more. miranda defiance has president biden has shown no backbone to stand up to left-wing's party and voters -- >> he has tried zero interest in bucking against the radical left and his party, he is just their vessel. he was the trojan horse who was brought in to trick voters into thinking they were voting for a moderate government return to normalcy and decency. quite the opposite. this is an incredible sort of home goal you would think by the democrats. you watched joe biden's opinion polls plummet. and yet, they are making no attempt to reset their poisonous

policies. they are hanging joe biden out to dry. these democrats don't really care about the voters anymore. >> todd: president biden's approval rating hitting record low of 33% in the latest quinnipiac poll. >> carley: not good. the investigation of the murder of queen's mother of two telling "the new york post," whoever killed her did not plan the attack because of the trail of evidence left behind. they are now scouring the scene of a killer's dna. right now, investigators are reportedly looking at multiple suspects and they want to question x handyman who had an affair and they are spare key to her home. >> todd: may relate lori lightfoot plans to be making progress and the crime-ridden city, watch. >> real chicagoans are asking me how can you possibly even consider running for reelection

as mayor of chicago after all the harm you caused? >> i disagree with you fundamentally and i don't think i need to address it and dignify your comments one second. >> todd: the mayor yet to officially announce reelection plans only addressing crime briefly stating "it is trending the right direction, but look at your screen, murders, robberies and are up since mayor lightfoot took office in 2019." >> carley: back on the stand today after explosive day of testimony and the defamation case against amber heard. >> todd: the jury shown photos that johnny depp sustained during a blow out argument. marianne rafferty live in los angeles with the details, marion. >> iran hi, johnny depp's defamation suit against the former amber heard who lawyers plan audiotape for the jury as former couple arguing.

why are these so-called leaders burdening our kids with so many distractions including masks? >> i honestly believe it is because of the hate notes. the government has been giving them to schools for these different programs to keep the kids safe but yet that money could go to school lunches or that money could go towards better salaries for teachers. you know, it's all about what they can give you next. and it is sad. it is sad. because when we went to school, you know, it was the great opportunity to learn. you know, that is what our focus was. it wasn't on how we can just get more in society. it just seems like it has turned into a business even and not really a place where we can educate our children. >> todd: and that is a shame

entire outlook to accommodate the seven people that are screaming in the virtual breakroom because they are not even coming to work. so to your point, yes, disney shareholders don't want this right now. disney shareholders know the company is doing business in literally 12 countries that criminalize activity but they want to slander florida. it is kind of absurd and again and again as a parent if disney cared about our kids they would care about our parents and stop ripping us off, carley. it is so expensive i have to turn tricks behind space mountain to pay for a ticket to animal kingdom if i want to leave the park. >> carley: are you guys going to disney together if that happens? >> todd: peter pan got a laugh in the studio. everyone was cracking up to that one. in the meantime bernie sanders dropping a big hint to run for president in 2024. here is a memo from his 2020 campaign manager it reads in the event of democratic presidential primary senator senators has not

ruled out a run for president so he advises any answer about any questions about that with 2024 in mind." jimmy who is looking up at the image of the far left policies that causes over the past two years and saying, you know what we need? more far left end let's call it bernie. >> this is bananas! do you remember the old "saturday night live" sketch, the driving cat where they would let the cat drive and go off of the cliff? okay, this would be the equivalent of like making your uber driver going off of the cliff. we don't need more left-wing policies. never mind bernie sanders' in his late hundreds, todd appeared this is crazy they peddle these old men. the democrats told us, you know, we are the party of youth. we need new blood. they actually meant new blood as in transfusion. this is insane! >> carley: jimmy, the other thing i want to talk to you about his mask mandates and democrats and blue cities making

people wear masks on public transit despite the cdc's mask order being struck down. so masks are still being required in new york city. i had to wear one this morning coming into work. san francisco and milwaukee and boston have partial transit mask mandate. so imagine being a resident and do you wear one, do you not? something is starting to tell me that this is less about science and more about power? what do you think about that? >> yeah. two things. i think you are right on with your assessment of power, but don't discount that in some of the cities like new york, there are jet spans that want to cover their face in public. they don't want to be seen walking around town. but to your point, this has nothing to do with covid. this is absurd, man. the cdc website said cloth mask offer little to no protection against oma crime very end. so we actually shouldn't be

wearing them at this point. but this continues to go on because for a lot of politicians, covid has become a trojan horse in which they use covid to obtain other forms of work and take away our liberties. and of course a lot of bureaucrats in d.c. like dr. fauci know that if covid goes away, they go away. so they will try to keep up this little balloon so it gives them relevance and like you said, power. it drove me so crazy here in new york that eric adams lecturing about enforcing a mask mandates peer of the subway cameras don't work and we had a mass shooting. we don't need to allocate resources to masks, especially covid top 25 germ on the subway and you are yelling at me about wearing a mask and other guys are not wearing pants, can we address that adams? >> carley: jimmy, thank you for joining us this morning, we appreciate it. >> you bet. >> carley: too funny. republicans are taking the agenda straight to the bank and ranking the record amount of cash for the midterm.
