hunter biden. so, among other things, they wanted to know, merrick garland, shouldn't there be a special counsel to look into all this stuff? because it looks so fishy? and, in fact, tennessee senator bill haggerty who like a dog with a bone went after the attorney general trying to get him to admit whether or not joe biden was, despite what he has said, involved with his son's business dealings? >> ainsley: the senators are concerned over the fairness of this investigation. they say americans are now questioning the competence in the doj. listen to some of that exchange. >> first, have you been briefed on the hunter biden investigation matter yourself, general garland? >> so the hunter biden investigation as i sai even in my own nomination confirmation hearing, is being run by and supervised by the united states attorneys for the district of delaware. >> are any senior officials in your department being briefed. >> again, he is the supervisor of this investigation, you know,

the normal processes of the department occur, but he is the supervisor of this investigation. >> do you think it would be appropriate for the president of the united states to call you into the oval office and tell you that his son didn't break the law regarding this matter? >> absolutely not. and the president has not done that. >> under what circumstances do you consider or how do you evaluate whether you would appoint a special counsel? >> i think this is a fact in law question in each case determining and depending upon how cases go forward. >> steve: he went on to say that regarding hunter biden the case is not being handled by big doj in washington, d.c. instead it's being handled by the u.s. attorney in delaware. so, the only worry a lot of people have is -- and people trust u.s. attorneys to do the right thing. but the worry is that big doj, with merrick garland, calls up the u.s. attorney in delaware and says, you know what?

he already paid the million dollars in back taxes, go easy on this guy. that's the worry of a lot of people. otherwise, people want to see if hunter biden broke the law, he should be held accountable. >> pete: here is what merrick garland and others know the clock is ticking. only more information is going to be revealed and will come out. and there is only a finite amount of time that democrats have a stranglehold on the levers of power. and they don't have to worry about committees right now. this is as difficult as it gets for them. wait until a committee is actually. >> steve: wait, are you saying after the election somebody like jim jordan is going to call merrick garland in and there won't be his how ther later of skin -- >> pete: especially when we learn between 2017 and 2019 financial records revealing joe biden. remember this is a joe biden scandal not a hunter biden scandal. joe biden had 5.2 million in unexplained income. meaning there are differences

between what was reported. >> steve: on the income taxes. >> pete: on income taxes and what was found on other statements as well this as we learned, ainsley, 8 more people or 8 more white house visits for hunter biden's business partner. >> ainsley: eric schwerin. haggerty went on to say there are emails, photos showed joe biden while he was vice president did meet with hunter biden's business associates and that's what you are talking about. there is evidence that hunter paid for joe biden's living expenses while he was the vice president. one email in 2010 haggerty points out jrb bills. joe biden's bills. email discusses pay for lake front house. your dad just called me and he could use positive news about future earnings potential. another text don't worry, unlike pop, meaning joe biden, i won't make you give me half your

salary. >> pete: after that email about needing information about his good information about his future earnings, four months later, visit to the white house, meeting with joe biden himself. >> steve: well, what's very curious is the fact that okay, so, pete, as you detailed a moment ago, there is a -- the daily mail did an analysis, and they look at joe biden's income taxes, what he filed with the federal government because, you know, hey, take a look at my income taxes and it's different than his financial statement which he i think it's called financial transparency because there is a whole bunch of money missing. these a little fishy. then you look at, ainsley, to your point. when hunter biden's assistant katie dodge reached out to an anaccountanten we understand joe is going to be paying hunter's bills to the tune of about # hundred thousand dollars, that was in 2020. that was just before the election.

so they are trying to get this all squared away. half of the $800,000 was in state and local taxes. the rest of it is a spreadsheet that the daily mail has published this morning. it shows, i tnk there is gym membership. there is the kids' tuition there are credit cards. there is power bills. there is rent and then there is a whole bunch of taxes apparently hunter biden never paid and so before joe got elected, they had to try to clear the debt. >> pete: according to this email it was joe biden's. >> ainsley: personal assistant. >> pete: personal assistant of hunter biden katie dodge to an accountant january 17th. 2017. hello vp team, i spoke with hunter today regarding his bills, it's my understanding that hunt's dad joe biden will cover these bills in the short-term as hunter transitions in his career.

>> ainsley: senator ron johnson talking about the media coverage of joe joe biden. >> lies to the public but theland is not calling him on it one thing that's going to be on the ballot in november is truth vs. lies and distortion. you will notice these revelations, the missing $5.2 million worth of income. those are being reported by the daily mail. they are being reported by "the new york post." not the newspaper of record, the "new york times" and "the washington post." modified limited hangout as little as they possibly can. >> steve: so the question is regarding -- and the senator just mentioned the $5.2 million of unexplained income, you know, we have heard all these stories about essentially joe biden is the big guy and with all these financial dealings with hunter and his business partners joe the silent partner always got like 10% or something like that. would this $5 million be part of it? it's unclear where that money

came from but, you know what? these are questions the white house is going to have to answer. >> ainsley: here is what we know hunter biden made a lot of money. no experience serving on these boards. a ton of money, millions of dollars. his dad has 5.2 unplaned money. where did that money go. >> steve: where did it come from. >> ainsley: did his dad profit off of hunter biden's business dealings in other countries. >> steve: i don't care what joe biden spent the 5.2 million on i just want to know how he got it. >> pete: by the way there was a page on wikipedia rosemont partners which was his firm it has been deleted by media. this is what big tech tries to do get rid of the back story. look it up now rosemont seneca not there anymore. >> ainsley: eric schwerin who went to the house 27 times. >> steve: sounds like speaking of big tech companies, twitter is kind of manipulating things

>> ainsley: they loved it when he came out with the electric car, right? the progressives and then all of a sudden he buys twitter and no longer. he is targeting his critics. he tweets this out: the extreme anti body reaction from those who fear free speech says it all by free speech i simply mean that which matches the law. i am against censorship that goes far beyond the law. if people want less free speech, they will ask government to pass laws to that effect. therefore, going beyond the law is contrary to the will of the people. >> pete: that's basically a tweet that points at the first amendment and says that's the law of the land, people. >> steve: that's our north car. >> pete: we are going to adhere to that. >> steve: we have been telling you the last couple of days after he bought it there was like a all hands on deck meeting where people were crying and people were worried. is he going to make us go back to the office? >> ainsley: is trump coming back? are we going to lose our jobs? >> steve: they were worried about all that stuff.

also there was a political article yesterday that came out that showed and told the story of v.j. gadd dick is the top content moderators for twitter. she is totally. >> ainsley: she censored the "new york post" article about hunter. she also was one of the ones that decided that trump did not need to be on their platform. >> steve: so after she was meeting with her team via zoom, apparently because if you work at twitter you don't actually go to the office you just sit in your living room. she was having a zoom meeting with her team. and she broke down. she was so upset. because her rein of content-month-old der ration is over. seeing garr and jetty who is a podcaster linked to that content article and wrote this vj the top it twitter gaslit the world or joe rogan's podcast and

censored the hunter biden laptop story is very upset about the elon musk takeover. elon musk immediately tweeted back at him suspending the twitter account of a major news organization "new york post" publishing a inappropriate. >> pete: talk about a sea change what the leadership at twitter would look like. responding to podcasters and regular folks making suggestions good idea or that looked bad. in this particular case the obvious which we have talked about here on the fox news channel. but if you live on twitter or watch other news organizations, you know almost nothing about the hunter biden atlanta story because -- it had been suppressed and been almost no correction. >> steve: what's effect of that? >> pete: people didn't have full information when they went to the ballot box in 2020. >> steve: and what happened? >> pete: things happened. >> steve: things did happen. >> ainsley: here is joe rogan.

>> and this is where we find ourselves with elon musk about to buy twitter. >> i saw that. >> apparently [bleep] >> what [bleep] >> the press release has been announced. >> elon musk just bought twitter. we have a movie star cut type of super hero. like a movie. you had a movie and there was a like who was a hero in the movie who happened to be a billionaire does wild [bleep] like makes his own rockets and drills under the city, he believes that free speech is important not just important, vital for a kennel crazy. for a functioning democracy. and i agree with him. >> steve: so that's the moment joe rogan found out that elon musk was the new owner of twitter. >> ainsley: yesterday brian was talking how he has gained more followers. maybe more republicans are getting on twitter now because of this news. ron desantis has gained 141,566.

>> steve: just on tuesday. >> ainsley: that's right. and aoc gone down 20,725 followers. >> pete: statistics broke this down for a lot of politicians and media members. for folks on the right, conservatives their followers have rocketed up. on the other side they have sank. and is it because more republicans are joining and others are leaving? possibly. is it because they are starting to tinker with the algorithm? i guess possibly. i just remember for years on twitter before i left it, it would suggest the people you should follow. and for years the top three suggestions in my feed were barack obama, hillary clinton, and cnn. because everything i tweet about should lead you to believe those are the people that want to follow. every single aspect of what happens behind the scenes effects whether ron desantis gets followers or aoc gets followers. those things change even slightly you can see the influence. >> ainsley: i have the feeling

twitter people behind the scenes you might need to follow these people because you need them to influence you. >> steve: like the content moderation people. those are the people who decide who are you going to follow. they have got their thumb on the scale. aim ago certain way. in addition to ron desantis picking up over 100,000 just on tuesday, donald trump jr. picked up 87,000 twitter says it's organic. we are not doing anything. donald trump jr. speculates they have changed the algorithm before elon musk shows up. and his quote is i wonder if they are burning the evidence before new management comes in. be. >> pete: that reaction joe rogan had like it was not possible. tony stark from iron man billionaire that's how it feels. >> ainsley: with a lot of bleeps. >> pete: up next nuclear

>> pete: matt, thank you for the latest. appreciate it steve? >> steve: thank you pete and matt. nearly two years ago the u.s. supreme court ruled that the land making up five indian reservations in eastern oklahoma is considered indian territory country. meaning state law does not apply in those regions. but today the supreme court reconvenes to hear oral arguments on whether the state of oklahoma has the authority to prosecute thousands of non-indians who commit crimes against indians on indian reservation. oklahoma governor kevin sit kevin stittjoins us to make his. good morning to you. >> good morning thank you for having me on. >> steve: where is this coming. >> from it came two years ago when the supreme court 5-4 decision reno longer have jurisdiction in eastern oklahoma. that would be like coming into boston and saying no longer was that part of the state of massachusetts it's

thrown our law enforcement into upheaval. we have lost the ability to enforce law and order if there is a native victim involved. that's what this case is about. remember, who is a native or who is an indian? it's about 10% of oklahoma population. i have my indian card. my six children with blond hair and blue eyes have their indian card. so law enforcement is having a tough time because you can't tell who a native is and who isn't in oklahoma because we have never had reservations in oklahoma. >> steve: governor, this case today. hear the arguments on behalf of your state. the case today is what? >> chester was a really bad guy that almost killed a 5-year-old native girl. she'll wasn't a member of an oklahoma tribe. she was a member of a north carolina tribe. she was sentenced to 35 years in prison. and because she was a native victim after the case it was thrown out. so now she is being -- she has to be charged by u.s. attorneys or the fed.

so thought biden administration by their own admission do not have the resources to prosecute burglaries and car thefts. the fbi just the head fbi agent said they are overwhelmed. if there is an indian involved the state can't prosecute it the tribe can't prosecute it. it has to go back to the feds and the feds don't have the resources to investigate a home burglary, for example. >> steve: so what you have described, governor, it sounds like you are the governor of only about half of oklahoma. >> well, if it stands reservation for all purposes like they are trying to say the tribes, then, yeah, i would not be the governor for eastern oklahoma. it's going to be carved up into six different jurisdictions. the problem with that is you have got 2 million people there that have lived. we have since 1907. generations after generations of non-indians are now living on a

reservation. it's just unattainable. >> steve: when this changed, about two years ago, you know, there were hundreds of caved that the state was going to prosecute suddenly the state is not going to do them anymore. now it's going to go back to native control, right? >> that's exactly right. here's how preposterous it is. we have people on death row ordering 23 and me d.n.a. test trying to see if they are native. can they get out of jail free? can it be thrown back to the feds to prosecute so it's just really thrown our criminal justice system in upheaval. the district attorneys that are voted on by the people cannot enforce law and order in eastern oklahoma right now. >> steve: well, it is something that a lot of people have not heard about. governor kevin stitt, thank you for joining us today. good luck today. >> thank you so much. we should know in june how the supreme court rules.

and that probably was a time that was better for our country but harvard university has nothing to be ashamed of. the university was founded by puritans. it graduated its first black student n 1870. it has never discriminated against qualified black students, which has meant that it's always had black graduates in 159 it admitted 18 black students. >> pete: doctor, we know that in a time of our founding, slavery was a very, very unfortunate reality of that time. yet, harvard was ahead of its time in addressing it. so why are they choosing to focus on the sins of the past as opposed to maybe educating undergraduates about how they were ahead of the curve? >> that is absolutely what they should be doing. and not only are they focusing on the sins of the past. they are discriminating against

a distinguished black professor rolland freyer because of his conservatism. and so instead of focusing on the sins of the past, they could actually do something about a present sin of discrimination against someone because of their viewpoint. their viewpoint and their race. >> pete: same thing happened to you, if i recall, correct? >> yeah. >> pete: highly qualified black female professor who happened to hold inconvenient views. is that what it comes down to it's the ideology of the person speaking not necessarily the skin color? >> that's true. but you know, pete, if one university, if one major major university would stand up for free speech, would stand up, you know, for moral principles, i think the others would follow suit. i think you are right get past the student body which already shows up unfortunately woke and

are already overwhelmed and believe removing title 42 which quickly expelled many migrants during the pandemic could create even more problems for so many different states. still, the white house says it believes the president and it is well believed the immigration law is a matter for congress. not the cdc. >> is the president really wanting title 42 to go away because it was a trump era policy. >> the president has never felt that title 42 was an effective immigration policy and he talked about that during the campaign. >> while some democrats want title 42 lifted, others are urging the white house to think of the political security ramifications. telling jon ossoff it's congress that needs to find a solution. >> here's what a lot of folks in congress, whether they are democrats or republicans refuse to acknowledge. democrats are afraid to talk about border security. and republicans are afraid to talk about establishing a path to legal status.

>> the cdc wants title 42 lifted by the end of may. there is a legal challenge underway. we don't know how long it's going to go on for. it's possible that title 42 could stay in place a little bit longer. we simply don't know how long. we do expect to hear more about title 42. later today homeland secretary mayorkas will be testifying before a committee. >> steve: what a perfect segue to our next section. >> up a tip jar out here. >> steve: is it empty? >> it's early. first of the day. >> pete: thank you, mark. >> steve: let's bring in florida congresswoman kat cammack, a member of the house homeland security committee. she is going to be one of the people. i would imagine you have got a lot of questions for the department of homeland security secretary because he is doing a job where it looks like nothing is actually happening. >> well, good morning to you all. and, yes, that's exactly it. there's a lot of questions and i'm betting that they are not

going to want to give us those answers. you know, i have questioned secretary mayorkas three times previously as a freshman congresswoman. and each time he has called me rude, disrespectful, and has avoided my questions and not provided any follow-up answers. so i have told him in response that i think it's rude and disrespectful that the policies that this administration has that they are promoting is actually harming the american people. so, expect fireworks today but i'm not banking on a whole lot of answers but they will be held to account. >> pete: congresswoman, if you look at this six point plan that they laid out, it basically looks like an illegal immigration fillings plan. facilitation plan. let's do it faster. do you see anything make up for what will be removed with title 42? >> no, absolutely not. you know, the administration that we have currently has been doing nothing more than playing the blame game when it came to mpp this doesn't actually work

this is immoral. when you talk about title 42 you just heard jen psaki say that isn't effective immigration strategy. of course not. it was never designed to be. if you talk to any border patrol agent. i mean many any of the thousands that are there at the border, they will tell that you this is the only thing that they have. because the administration has not in good faith enforced mpp. they have not given the resources to our agents. and they continually turn their back on our border communities and by effect the rest of american citizens that are dealing with the fallout from this broken policy. we have an invasion at our southwest border. >> ainsley: congresswoman we have had you on and your husband on florida member paramedic. drugs finding. stamps that the cartel emblem, i guess is what you would call it logo, whatever, just another piece of evidence that is coming from mexico or from another part of the world. and you are very concerned about this if title 42 goes away. tell us about the recent drug

bust this week. >> you are 100 percent right, ainsley. this is a huge, huge issue. a result of the open border policies by the biden administration. just a couple weeks ago we had a major drug bust in marion county, florida. and a hat tip to sheriff billy woods and to chief mike balkan for their continued efforts and diligence there was two pounds of fentanyl in a brick form found in gheafl marion county. and this was accompanied by a pill press. these criminals got this brick of fentanyl from over the border. which was originally sent raw materials from china. and there was a stamp of a border cartel, a known border cartel on that brick. they had a pill press. they were creating a beta drug to try to test how they could push fentanyl into our communities just an hour north of orlando in my district around to kids and it -- thank goodness they found it that right there, that simple two pounds, that's enough to kill half a million people. every man, woman and child. half a million people.

this is happening in communities all around the country. that's why when we say every town in america is a border town. it's not a talking point. it's a real life situation that while biden can hide in his mansion on the beach in delaware. everyday americans are dealing with this. you know, ainsley, you talked about my husband. he just last week had three, three in one shift of overdoses. it was molly laced with fentanyl. and this is every day occurrence that our first responders are dealing with every sink gel day. it's got to stop. thank you for covering that. >> steve: well, listener, we have been covering a lot of the news over the last week. the big story here in new york last week was that handyman murder carried woman that a mom in queens turns out he has been in the country 20 years illegally. and then a couple of days ago they recovered the body of bishop evans, a texas national guardsman who was, you know, trying to secure the border. because our federal government won't. and he drowned.

and he was saving the life of somebody who was bringing drugs in to the country. >> it's incredible and it's a fact. you cannot defend our hometown if you are not willing to secure the border. i mean, our hometowns and our national security are directly tied to one another. and our first responders are trying like the dickens to secure the border. and they are trying to secure our community. but the issue is that you have got people in washington who want to defund the police and then you have an open border policy and we're going to have a red wave when this comes to elections in november. so this open border policy, this invasion that we are experiencing, this is what i have to say to them. you want to play stupid games, you are go going to win stupid prizes. in this case the democrats are going to lose control and so they better watch out. because of the american people, regardless of party, they are feeling the effects of this. this is a national security concern and it's a crisis. they need to come to the table and close the border down now.

pete amen to that congresswoman get your reaction to another big story elon musk buying twitter and the reaction of some of your colleagues across the aisle. here is how senator chuck schumer responded to that relates. i hope it doesn't get any darker referring to twitter. and senator elizabeth warren this deal is dangerous for our democracy as they always say. >> steve: how is that? >> why is the left. >> ainsley: why is free speech dangerous? >> i guess you could chak this up to another play stupid games win stupid prizes. in chase elon musk has come in like a real live iron man and purchased twitter. our friends, i use that loosely, over at msnbc had a great statement when talking about what the potential fallout or what could happen from this. they said this is dangerous. you know, with elon musk purchasing twitter, you know, we could actually see one party controlling the narrative. we could see censorship.

this is terrible. i can't believe it took elon musk buying twitter but hey they finally woke up. >> steve: was that msnbc or the history channel because i do believe that actually happened. congresswoman, you know, the reason their hair is on fire is because they know the power of social media. and they, the political left, have, you know, with their partners in the social media corporate structure, they have been able to tamp down speech on the right. they kept that hunter biden story from being circulated around the twitterverse and whatnot and got joe biden elected president. >> isn't it amazing? and that's why we are at this place in this juncture today because big tech has not been held accountable. that's why section 230 reform is so important. the censorship of conservatives and bringing that comfort of thought into the equation is critical. we have to make sure that all voices are heard. and i'm telling you, and things are going a lot of liberals are going to need a safe space because there is going to be a

reckoning coming. i know we saw tucker come back and a few of our others mark levin came back on twitter yesterday. i'm waiting for president trump to make his reentry into the space and we will really see heads exploding. >> ainsley: he says he is not going to do it. >> steve: truth social. congresswoman, thank you very much. >> thank you. have great day. >> steve: have great day with the secretary. >> pete: interesting today. she said fireworks. >> steve: she said fireworks. >> ainsley: she has to have tough skin what did he say to her? steve: rude. you are rude. >> carley: more heads exploding for sure today in that hearing room. >> steve: are you being rude now interrupting? >> carley: i figured i would do the transition naturally. felt like a good pregnant pause. do you know what i mean? we do have headlines starting with this russia taking direct aim at europe's economy by cutting off the flow of natural gas to poland and bulgaria. poland called it blackmail but says it won't have a major impact. now bulgaria on the other hand

administration. so i guess they think that going more progressive is going to make people on their side. i just don't think americans are buying. when you look at the gas tank. when you look at inflation. you look at crime, you look at the border. things that matter to average day citizens, just buying off of the young people is not going to get you elections win in the midterm. >> steve: inflation, lawrence, that's putin's problem. biden has to worry about his problem. elizabeth warren saying unless you pass more stuff before november you are going to lose. she is trying to scare the democrats into doing something. but, to your point, just there at the end, this is just outright vote buying. >> lawrence: it's buying the vote. and, you know, he campaigned on being mod dallas joe. we know that's not true. and i think when i go out there and talk to voters which is essentially every single day. the ones that voted for biden, they are quite embarrassed. and the ones that voted for trump feel vindication indicated because they think this was an

election that was essentially based on tone and tenor and not what actually impacts americans on the day-to-day basis. i think this is bad for the biden administration to have bernie to continue to say i'm moderate and i'm the guy that is for the working class. and have the most progressive guy throwing essentially a fundraiser. celebration party for you. that's not. that is an ad in the midterm. >> ainsley: how are we going to pay for this? >> lawrence: we are not going to be able to pay for this. it's sad on the merit of fairness. not fair for the people toe decided they are going to sacrifice from their families. i remember when president barack obama first became president he paid it off like two months before he became president of the united states. so it's hitting all different people because of all these universes when the feds decided to take over these loans they started jacking up the rates of college. it's not fair. there is a lot of people and i have been honest about it that

are saying, you know what? i just started making a little money, i'm 29 years old. i'm going to put it aside just to see what they're going to do. i'm against it on the merit but i see what the democrats are doing. i just don't think it's going to be enough for them. >> pete: not to mention the people that already paid them off. they are not getting the rebate or people in the future have debt. why student loan debt? why not credit card debt or medical health debt? >> steve: why not my mortgage? >> first of all he has no control of those. they are saying that the president's has control of this because the department of education. so, don't think, pete, if they had the opportunity to forgive credit card debt, housing debt, all that they would do that just to get votes they just don't have the authority right now. >> steve: right now it's a temporary on pause because of covid let's see what happens. thank you very much. check out his show on saturday night. is he on at 10:00 p.m. is he a good reason to stay up late. >> thanks, family. i appreciate it.

right now. obviously it's because of the fed and this is inflationary story as well. the feds have got to deal with inflation and get the economy back on track. what's happening with home buyers going out now and trying to lock in mortgage rates. they are having a really difficult time. more and more people are getting priced out of the housing market now whether they are buying existing home or buying a new home. they are struggling because of what is happening in the economy and unfortunately we never thought, i never thought we would be above 5% even in 20022. it's not even may and we're already above 5%. experts are saying get ready for 6%, 7%. it's possible. but, you know, i have got to tell you it's also competitive. there is no supply of inventory out there. it is a really wild housing market. great time to have real estate programming on fox business, obviously. >> ainsley: casey, you we will get to that you have two great shows coming on. kacie, you are building a house in florida. >> you had covid, of course, that's going to disrupt.

fortunately these kind of murders are not common. they are very unusual. they finished the autopsy yesterday and they have a lot of information as to how she was murdered. whether it was a sexual assault, whether there is any information as to the reason why it was done and they are not releasing it -- the name of the person presumably because he is the -- the perpetrator is a juvenile. in wisconsin juveniles 16 or less. and there -- somebody in the community -- i bet you a number of red flags looking at that should they have noticed that this male was dangerous. >> steve: what are some of the red flags you are talking about? >> that he got in trouble. he did things. steve: somebody who was on the cop's radar. >> that's right. somebody that they had trouble with being a juvenile delinquent. >> steve: or perhaps that person new lily and they had a history.

>> although difficult to know what kind of history you have with a 10-year-old. sometimes other 10-year-olds or 15 years old or 16-year-old kids who have problems will go so far as to-she was apparently on her bicycle, get her off her bicycle and kill her. now, whether he did anything else to her and how he killed her will eventually come out. >> steve: sure. when we all heard the story about, you know a little 10-year-old kid who left her aunt's house at like 9:00 at night on her bicycle riding home, and then somebody snatched her because she was missing for a long time. that's like every parent's worst nightmare. often usually it's done by a passing bizarre motorist who will go after the teenager. >> steve: a crime of opportunity. >> on a bicycle and grab the teenager. this wasn't one of those. this was somebody who knew her.

who may have been waiting in wait for her or may in fact have done it because he bumped into her by mistake. >> steve: this person is apparently a usual. i know the state is reluctant to reveal the identity. if anybody -- are we going to know who this kid is. >> yeah. it's somebody in the community. and i'm sure many of the community members already know who it is and one of your reporters is going to find out pretty quickly so, even though they try to keep the name of a juvenile secret legally in -- all over, this will come out very quickly. and they will know whether or not there were red flags missed. whether he had problems in school. whether he had been involved with the police in the past. >> steve: you know, i think the -- it's better to note relationship because the state

is not going to release the name and recant report it as such. but, to know if it was a neighbor kid. if we just knew if it was a neighbor. somebody from school. it's a total random person we will find out. >> also shows that it isn't a serial murderer which is what the community would be thinking about. >> steve: absolutely. dr. michael badden good to have you in the studio. >> good to see you. >> steve: police set up a 24 hour tip line the number is 800-263-5906 if you know anything about the disappearance of 10-year-old lily peters. all right. a dozen minutes before the top of the hour and carley, we got some more headlines. >> carley: i certainly do. the president is set to eulogize madeleine albright at her funeral later this morning. former president bill clinton and former secretary of state hillary clinton will share tributes. the service is being held at the national cathedral in washington.

>> good morning, my friends. how are you doing? i know it's cold in parts of the country. here in the northeast, we're well below average. at least the sun is out. let's take a look at the temperatures across the northern plains. the great lakes, the midwest, that's where the temperatures are much colder than average. rest of the country are going to enjoy very warm temperatures especially across the south but we still have frost and freeze alerts for this morning and thursday morning. area of low pressure off the coast is bringing some rain to

the northeast and some lake effect snow. and unfortunately, we have a new storm system that's going to dive out of the rockies and bring us the risk for severe storms tomorrow and friday. so we're going to watch that. we could see large hail, damaging winds, tornadoes and some very heavy snow on the backside of this across the rockies. that's something we're going to watch as well as the large wildfires that continue to burn across the country. we have wildfire danger for parts of the plain states today as well. so we'll keep you up to date. foxweather.com by the way for your latest weather details. carley, i'll toss it to you. >> carley: thank you. some quick headlines here. soaring meat prices hitting shoppers and restaurants really hard. latest consumer price index report showing the price of beef is up 20.4% while the price of poultry is up more than 13% compared to this time last year. these increases fueled, of course, by supply issues and labor shortages as well. did you hear about this? it's lights out for incandescent

bulbs. the energy department will require manufacturers to exclusively sell energy efficient lights like compact fluorescent and l.e.d. bulbs. the trump administration planned to phase out incandescents calling the move a burden to business. pete, over to you. >> started under obama. here we go again. a new foundation is on a mission to preserve history and promote patriotism. by honoring the first american to plant the u.s. flag on foreign soil. the hero, first lieutenant presley neville o'bannon will be honored as the house he built in his kentucky hometown is dedicated by the o'bannon house preservation foundation. our own joey jones is in russellville, kentucky with the foundation's president, retired marine major general and country music star tim montana participating in this ceremony today. gentlemen, all, thank you so much for being here. that's a patriotic shot if i've

ever seen one. joey, for our viewers, break down what's happening today and what's happening with this house. >> you know, pete, i hung out at fort benning with you for a couple of days fortunately i'm proud to bring you marine corps history today. from the shores of tripoli to the kentucky fields or to the tobacco fields of kentucky, marine lieutenant presley o'bannon is really a storied american, not just marine. and his story will be told for generations to come thanks to the effort of marine general humble and our buddy tim montana who connected us all together to get us here today. tim, i'll go to you first. you wrote this song "runs in the blood" based on the life of presley o'bannon and marine corps history. how did you get involved? why are you here today? >> legendary songwriter wrote "dock on the bay" and we brought a tour bus up here and saw the house and the history and patriotism here and met general humble, amazing american patriot. and he walked us through this

house and told us about it. i think that song was written in probably 15 minutes right outside of this house. >> you'll perform it here today? >> not performing it but it is out. it's called -- we made another band called the brotherhood tough band called "runs in the blood" and it's a marine corps anthem. we're very excited about it. >> i know, pete, it's a marine corps anthem. i think you'll love it, brother. i think you can get in on it. it's really good. >> tell me why this became a passion project for you as well. this is your hometown as well. there are a few other historic people from this small town, russellville, kentucky. >> absolutely. and after i retired, with what's going on today in the last couple of years, i think promoting patriotism, providing a venue to do that is important to do for our younger generation and for the older generations who want to come here and experience history. this little community i live in of russellville is so historic. and it's just catty corner

across the street is the home of john j.kritman who was an attorney general for three presidents and one of his sons was a confederate general, one of his sons was a yankee general. >> that's like having sons being a georgia and tennessee fan. that doesn't work sometime. >> weird christmas. >> so we put together the foundation, and that's what we're out to do is for bringing people to this locale for the history but especially in here because the story of presley o'bannon, his leadership and the other players, thomas jefferson, just a great story and i think young people will learn from it and i think college students will learn from it and i know our marine brothers and sisters, this is also the first combined arms effort in the united states. there was army, navy and air force. >> talking about the battle of tripoli. >> battle of tripoli. >> real quick, how can people at

home learn more about this if they're not local to russellville, kentucky? >> well, they can get on our website, o'bannonhouse.org and go from there, but there are many great stories written and one thing is listen to his song, that will get you involved. >> absolutely. >> pretty quickly and we're proud to be doing this, the local community is behind it. and, of course, veterans all across. so we expect to have a lot of visitors here to learn and this will be a venue for them to come to use if they need to. >> yes, sir. >> we've already had one marine have a baby shower here. he came here for his baby shower, drove all the way from quantico to here to the baby shower and went back. i saw him taking pictures in here. >> later today, this house will have its official ceremony. pete, from nashville, tennessee to lexington, kentucky, brands and businesses have supported this effort. if you guys stay tuned here in a little bit, we'll have legendary

actor tom berringer and i think presley o'bannon himself may show up and welcome some of the visitors today. >> we are all marines today, joey. i mean, it traces back to thomas jefferson sending o'bannon to go fight the pirates in tripoli and that sword you showed in the tease is the sword marines carry as a result of that fight. the legacy to today. can't wait to check back in with you, joey. thanks so much. we'll see you next hour for sure. speaking of next hour, the final hour of "fox & friends" on this wednesday starts right now. >> you've been briefed on the hunter biden investigation. >> attorney general merrick garland is facing new pressure to appoint a special prosecutor. >> we're learning of eight additional visits by hunter biden's business partner. >> this would lead one to believe that joe biden was, in fact, a partner. >> extremely important. >> elon musk is not backing down on his defense of free speech. >> extreme reaction says it all. >> we have a movie star cut type

of a superhero. >> three runners headed northbound. >> facing for a grilling on capitol hill. >> fireworks today. i'm not banking on a whole lot of answers. >> jack brewer says msnbc's -- >> completely humiliated the kids in his mentorship program. >> now he's threatening to sue her and the network. >> don't take this away from our kids. >> three, two, one. >> four astronauts on their way to the international space station. >> liftoff! let freedom ring. god's speed. >> steve: looking live in florida. don't put your video camera to the sun, it will burn a hold in the camera tube. now we have digital stuff and it's right now, 63 degrees. they're going for a high about 80.

if you're unfamiliar with that, it's up in the panhandle. ainsley, it's about, i don't know, 50 miles to the east of panama city where you shut down spring break. >> ainsley: i did. when i worked for sean hannity's show back in the day. sorry, spring breakers. i used to go there for spring break, too. community loved us for shutting that down, though. there was a lot of bad stuff going on. >> steve: they're back this year. lot of spring breakers. >> ainsley: that's close to tallahassee. florida state. >> steve: beautiful day down in florida. they're all beautiful days in florida. welcome to hour three of "fox & friends." pete in for brian who we think is probably on assignment. >> pete: he's busy. thanks for having me today. today is national gummy bear day. i love gummy bears. and national tell a story day. >> steve: what's the difference between gummy bears and swedish

fish? >> ainsley: a big difference. >> pete: absolutely different foods. gummy bears, juicy, wonderful. swedish fish, hard as a rock. only one flavor. >> steve: i'm 70% swedish. ours are very supple. >> pete: the ones that you get in a bag. >> ainsley: one is a bear and one is a fish. >> steve: that's the big thing. >> pete: gummy bears or swedish fish? let us know. they're not the same thing at all. they're exact opposites. >> steve: swedish fish. >> ainsley: the attorney general merrick garland will be facing questions from lawmakers over the president's ties to hunter's overseas business dealings and did take questions. >> steve: that's right. didn't give many answers and they don't give many answers about that at the white house either where mark meredith is standing by. a tip jar there is kind of weird but nonetheless, he's got the latest details.

>> i'd settle for gummy bears and swedish fish at this point. beggers can't be chooseers. as you mentioned, the attorney general was on the hill yesterday testifying before a senate committee and we heard perfect tennessee senator who was asking specifically about garland whether or not there's been any movement with the investigation into the president's son hunter biden. garland kind of deflected here insisting this is an investigation being run out of delaware, not d.c. >> he is supervising the investigation and, you know, i'm not at liberty to talk about internal justice department investigations but he is in charge of that investigation. there will not be interference of any political or improper kind. >> he being the u.s. attorney in delaware. it's believed that investigators are looking into whether hunter violated money laundering or tax laws over a period of several years. president biden said he never discussed his son's foreign business dealings with him. fox news discovered one of hunter's long time business partners visited the white house quite a bit in 2016, at least

eight times. one lawmaker says that is worth further scrutiny. >> either trying to take a bunch of pictures in the white house to prove credibility to be able to enhance his marketing with these foreign nationals or he was trying to conduct specific business in the white house. that's a question that the bidens need to answer. that's a question the american people deserve. >> the white house was asked just yesterday about these visitor logs. it insists this is not news because the logs go back several years and made public back then. they took a swipe at the trump administration yesterday saying that that administration did not release those visitor logs. either way, odds are whether or not we hear it from the justice department or up on the hill, we'll hear more about hunter biden especially if republicans take the house or senate because they do, as you heard from the congressman say right there, they believe this deserves a further look. back to you guys. whether spring break or back in new york, wherever you guys are. >> steve: we're right here. mark, when the attorney general was up on capitol hill, he just

took the d.o.j. line. we don't comment on investigations and we trust the u.s. attorney. that's one thing they can say. there are a lot of republicans at the same time who don't trust the department of justice. >> no, but i would imagine that would have happened regardless of which party is in office. completely go from there. in terms of what garland had to say right there, he said no, the department is going to focus just on the facts and that he himself was not going to get involved when it comes to overseeing the investigation. but as you bring up, when you're the attorney general, you have a lot of oversight as well. >> steve: you do indeed. all right, mark meredith, north lawn, white house, thank you. >> pete: and the option of apointing a special counsel if you believe one is merited, a step that jeff sessions took maybe to his regret. >> steve: the u.s. attorney in delaware is looking into all the hunter biden stuff. and you know, we don't know what they're looking at per se, but from what we've heard, it looks like they're looking at the tax stuff with hunter biden. he didn't pay a bunch of taxes

and, in fact, made a payment of about a million dollars in back taxes recently to stay out of jail, supposedly. plus all the overseas business dealings, effectively he was a foreign lobbyist but was not registered as one. remember that got somebody into trouble in the last time. i think this special prosecutor, you know, figured that out. i think that was mr. muller. >> pete: i think you're right. i wonder where hunter got the money to pay his back taxes, too, considering some of the new e-mails we just got this morning e-mails from hunter biden to joe biden's accountant about joe picking up some of the tab. these are all the questions to be answered. this is not the hunter biden scandal, this is the biden family, joe biden potential scandal. we deserve to know as taxpayers and citizens of this country. >> steve: the white house in the form of jen psaki at the podium, when many questions have been asked about hunter biden, often she goes hunter biden was a

private citizen at the time, joe biden was not vice president. and that's kind of their line. i'm not going to say anything. >> ainsley: remember right before the election, "the new york post" tried to put this out on twitter and they were censored and taken down. the story you couldn't read it. the other networks were not even covering it. and the left is going crazy over elon musk buying twitter for $44 billion. the lady who allegedly took down that hunter "new york post" story and the lady who had a hand in knocking trump off twitter, top lawyer twitter, she had a meeting with the staff at twitter and she started crying because elon musk is taking over. and a podcast screenshotted the political article, politico article saying she cried. here she is right here and says the top censorship advocate at twitter who famously gas lit the world on joe rogan's podcast and

censored the hunter biden lap top story is very upset about the elon musk takeover. >> pete: that's what ainsley talked about, twitter's top lawyer crying about it. and the podcast from politico and the podcaster on top pointed out the fact that indeed, it was censorship advocate at twitter who shut down the hunter biden story. >> steve: right. >> pete: and scared of elon musk coming in. it's precisely these types of moments where twitter chose what was legitimate or not legitimate that has people excited about the fact that elon musk, a free speech advocate bought that company. >> steve: right, after that podcaster linked to the politico story, then elon musk actually tweeted back at the podcaster and said this, suspending the twitter account of a major news organization for publishing a truthful story was obviously incredibly inappropriate. >> ainsley: could have changed

the election. >> pete: that's really easy to say. that's a straight forward. we couldn't get an admission like that from twitter for two years. >> steve: no, because thanks to people like the crying lawyer, she was in charge of content moderation. and the content moderation meant i get to decide who we kick off. and who we keep and as it turns out, they kicked off a lot of people. >> ainsley: her power. >> steve: another columnist, i think he's a conservative, mike sernavich tweeted this and this is something that i had not heard. he said yesterday twitter lawyer jim baker, when he was the general counsel of the f.b.i., he personally arranged a meeting between the f.b.i. and michael sussman who was hillary clinton's lawyer. in this meeting, he presented fabricated evidence that tried to tie the russians to trump. he facilitated a fraud. so this guy is alerting elon

musk, look, this former general counsel to the f.b.i. who did that stuff with michael sussman is at twitter. and musk replied, sounds pretty bad. so anyway, that guy works for elon musk. i don't know how long. and, you know, it all depends on when it goes through. nonetheless, it's like people are suddenly coming out of the woodwork saying hey, do you know who works there? >> pete: yeah, you know what, there was a visceral reaction a lot of people had to this change because it felt like a change of this magnitude wasn't really possible, you know. tony stark flies in as ironman and says i build rocketships and tunnels and now i'm going to do something about free speech. >> steve: that's a movie character. elon musk is an actual hero. >> pete: joe rogan reacted like a lot of us when we heard the news. >> this is where we find ourselves with elon musk about

to buy twitter. [beep] >> what? >> elon musk bought twitter. we have a movie star cut type of a superhero like a movie. if you had a movie and there was a guy that was a hero in the movie that happened to be a billionaire and does wild [beep] makes his own rockets and drills under the city, he believes that free speech is important. and not just important, vital for a democracy. for a functioning democracy. and i agree with him. >> steve: one other thing that elon musk tweeted yesterday, now that he's going to be taking over twitter, he tweeted that truth social and tiktok were beating twitter on the apple store. he doesn't like to get beat. >> ainsley: that's interesting. chuck schumer said in many ways, twitter has been a dark, dark place. i hope it doesn't get any darker. but jim jordan, republican said i think it's great. god bless. great day for freedom and the first amendment.

>> steve: and suddenly a bunch of conservatives at fox news are having tens of hundreds of thousands of followers. including janis dean, he said magically i have 50,000 new followers. >> ainsley: a.o.c. went down. >> steve: are they adjusting the a algorithm before the new guy comes in? >> ainsley: either that or more republicans are jumping on because they like this change. >> steve: or it could just be magic. all right. 8:13 now. carley joins us with breaking news. >> carley: big story here. great news. breaking this hour, former marine trevor reid is coming home after being released by russia in a prisoner swap. the biden administration releasing a convicted russian drug trafficker in exchange for the american freedom. the president issued the following statement moments ago. "the negotiations that allowed us to bring trevor home required difficult decisions that i do not take lightly." reid was arrested in the summer of 2019 after russian authorities accused him of

assaulting an officer. he was sentenced to nine years in prison. a psychologist hired by johnny depp getting an eye roll from amber heard as she testifies the actress is grossly exaggerating her ptsd from their rocky relationship. >> she initially said yes, i have that to 19 of the 20 symptoms. that's not typical even of somebody with the most disabling form of ptsd. >> carley: that doctor saying she believes heard suffers from borderline personality disorder. heard's legal team calling the testimony biassed and not credible. and the final witness yesterday, an lapd officer who visited depp's penthouse days before heard filed for divorce. she told the court the actress was crying but saw no evidence of domestic violence. former nfl player and philanthropist jack brewer is

demanding an apology over her tweet saying this photo amounts to child abuse. it shows the florida governor at a signing for her anti-critical race bill surrounded by boys from the mentorship program. he joined "fox & friends" earlier and said why he's taking a stand. >> the completely disrespected and humiliated me and most importantly my children. i don't want her money. i don't want msnbc's money. i want to hold them accountable. >> carley: brewer says she's willing to forgive reid and her network. he invited her to see the positive impact of his mentorship program. it does have a positive impact. >> pete: she hasn't addressed it yet, right. >> carley: i don't think she has. >> pete: he means business on this and the school he runs and mentorship program he runs there is phenomenal. might be wise to take a second look. >> ainsley: does a lot for

orphanages in haiti, too. >> steve: homeland security unveiling a $6 billion pillar plan. speaking of education, a six pillar plan to combat the border surge as is expected to get worse. senator marco rubio. >> ainsley: lot of money. >> pete: sounds off on the mishandling of the crisis coming up next. >> steve: plus some far left democrats including bernie sanders are greeting white house staff with a brass band this morning. why are they celebrating? that's straight ahead on "fox & friends" live from new york city. finding the perfect developer isn't easy. but, at upwork, we found her. she's in prague between the ideal cup of coffee and a truly impressive synthesizer collection. and you can find her right now (lepsi?) on upwork.com (lepsi.) when the world is your workforce,

>> pete: the kremlin taking direct aim at europe's economy by cutting off the flow of natural gas to poland and bulgaria. moscow now says it could do the the same to other european countries. >> steve: that's right. unless they start paying for the gas in roubles. russia is accusing ukraine of developing nukes with the united states. >> ainsley: and matt is on the ground and joins us now with the latest developments. matt? >> good morning. russia has repeatedly warned there's a possibility of some type of nuclear conflict but the united states is not backing down in its support for this country. it has issued $3.2 billion in arms for ukraine. and the u.s. secretary of defense lloyd austin visited ukraine this week and fox's jennifer griffin sat down with him. and he says russia's rhetoric and saber rattling about nuclear war is dangerous. and that nuclear war cannot be won by either side. >> says that the potential for a nuclear war is real.

what's your response? >> nuclear war cannot be won by either side. and so i think saber rattling and rhetoric like that is just unhelpful. >> and the international support for ukraine is also growing. germany now making a major policy shift in announcing it will send heavy weaponry to ukraine. meanwhile, the united nations secretary general met with vladimir putin yesterday. russia insisting this war is a special military operation and russia was force the to use desperate measures to stop the suffering of russian supporters in eastern ukraine. however, the u.n. secretary general says the united nations views russia's invasion of ukraine as a violation of the u.n. charter. and on the war front, russia continues to bombard mariupol and karkiev. for the second day, explosions marked a separate area knocking out radio antennas.

ukraine blaming russia and there are growing fears that russia could invade maldova. kremlin is cutting off their natural gas supply starting today because they refuse to pay in roubles. poland calls it blackmail but says it won't have a major impact. bulgaria gets 90% of its natural gas from russia and now shopping elsewhere. and there's ongoing speculation that vladimir putin might be ill. latest video where his face appears puffy sparking more questions about his health. back to you guys. >> steve: lot of those. matt, thank you very much. let's bring in florida republican senator marco rubio. he's a member of the senate foreign relations committee. senator, good morning to you. >> good morning. i see brian still has the best agent. he gets how many days off does this guy have in his contract? >> pete: i mean, right? >> steve: plenty. >> hire that guy. >> ainsley: he's on assignment. always working. >> steve: i'm sure you've heard those stories and seen the videos where it appears like putin's hands are shaking and he's got to grab a chair and

stuff like that. what are you being told about the russian leader's health? >> well, i mean, i haven't been told anything i can share with you other than some pretty obvious observations. the guy is older, right? second, the war is not going well. the reality of it is they probably lost more soldiers, they probably lost two times as many soldiers already than they lost in afghanistan the entire time of the afghanistan invasion during the soviet union probably degraded their military forces by 20% or 30%. they've had high failure rates. remember that money they spent on the military, missiles have misfired and some of them never went off and some hit the wrong target. i mean, it's just gone poorly, right? if he was an american president right now, you know, he'd be impeached or at least invoking all kinds of constitutional provisions to get rid of him. so it hasn't gone well. and certainly he knows the truth about it. and eventually that's going to impact somebody. i believe his risk calculus is different. i don't think he's, like the way we would describe insane in the normal sense. i think this is a guy who feels

like he's got everything to gain at this point, and losing a war would oust him from power which is something he can never allow to happen. >> ainsley: let's talk about the border now because d.h.s. has outlined this plan to secure our border, they say, after title 42 is lifted. the plans include lifting resources, personnel, transportation, medical support facilities to support border operations. more agents, more personnel. what's your reaction to that? is that enough? >> it's a joke. it's a joke. the border has been overrun. it's as simple as that. reason why is because this administration is listening to radical left wing activists that are basically arguing for an open border. they'll talk about legal process and all that. there's a group of people out there that basically believe that people should be allowed to live wherever they want and any country they want. they should be able to come across the border and when they do, they should receive benefits from the government. benefits that people that have worked here their whole lives don't get. so they'll say we're not doing that. if you notice one of the six points that he lays out is they're going to give a bunch of money to non-government

organizations. what are those non-government organizations do? they buy people plane tickets and give them cash assistance and give them, in essence, transferring government money into the hands of a not government entity so they can give benefits to people. we have an overrun border and we are luring people to come here. let me just say this thing. this is not about immigration. we admit a million people a year into this country. green cards, the most generous immigration program on the planet. and we've done that for decades. this is about an overrun border where people and drugs, fentanyl is flowing into our cities, flooding into our cities and this administration is encouraging it. they don't want to do anything about it. and last point about the border guards, it wasn't that long ago they were telling us border guards were whipping people. remember that? the president of the united states, of course, that turned out not to be true. where's the apology? who wants to be a border agent right now knowing the president, if something goes wrong, is going to come after you or say you don't work for them like they did about this gentleman that lost his life in texas. >> pete: they barely acknowledged what happened to that texas national guard member instead saying he's a state

employee, about as callous as you can imagine. one more question for you, though, as well, senator. i guess on behalf of brian, you have an op ed at foxbusiness.com and the title is china's new covid lockdowns will create a new supply chain crisis. we're feeling the pinch on inflation. supply chain crisis never rectified. it could get even worse. >> this will be the worse. shanghai is the busiest import and export facility. this is a reminder of something i've been talking about since 2019, before the pandemic. we buy too much stuff from china. we've got to stop doing that. buy it from other places. make it in america. but you see how russia is cutting off poland from natural gas? that's what they'll do to us on a host of things including medicine. we depend too much on china. we have to stop doing that and start making more things here in america. >> steve: that's one of the reasons why the stock market sold off yesterday as it did. worries about what's going on in china. senator, thank you very much for joining us live from capitol hill.

>> thank you. >> ainsley: thank you. coming up, is the covid pandemic over? we'll bring you what dr. fauci just said. >> steve: can't wait. some conservatives are seeing a jump in followers on twitter as elon musk is poised to take over. clay travis is one of them. he's got some ideas about what they might be doing at twitter h.q. with less moderate-to-severe eczema, why hide your skin if you can help heal your skin from within? hide my skin? not me. dupixent helps keep you one step ahead of eczema, with clearer skin and less itch. don't use if you're allergic to dupixent. serious allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. tell your doctor about new or worsening eye problems such as eye pain or vision changes, including blurred vision, joint aches and pain or a parasitic infection.

don't change or stop asthma medicines without talking to your doctor. ask your doctor about dupixent. out here, you're more than just a landowner. without talking to your doctor. you're a gardener. a landscaper. a hunter. because you didn't settle for ordinary. same goes for your equipment. versatile, powerful, durable kubota equipment. more goes into it. so you get more out of it.

why do people who live with generalized myasthenia gravis want a new treatment option? because we want to be able to get up and get ready for work. because the animals need to be cared for, and we like taking care of them. because we want to go out to dinner with our friends. because, in family photos, we want to be able to smile. a new fda-approved treatment for adults with generalized myasthenia gravis could help them do more of the daily activities

they care about. to learn more, go to now4gmg.com and talk to your neurologist. >> back with your headlines. listen to this, dr. anthony fauci telling pbs news that america is out of the pandemic phase. >> we're not going to eradicate this virus. if we can keep that level very low, and intermittently vaccinate people. right now, we are not in the pandemic phase in this country. >> wow, fauci changing his tune after being one of the most vocal supporters for covid restrictions over the past two years. a new fox news poll shows support for author j.d. vance has doubled in the ohio republican senate primary race pushing him ahead of earlier

frontrunners. vance now has the backing of 23% of primary voters. up 12 points since just last month. he's leading former ohio treasurer josh mandel by five points but 25% of ohioans remain undecided. support for vance surging after he secured former president donald trump's endorsement. space-x, crew four now more than two hours into their journey to the international space station after safely launching from cape canaveral. >> four, three, two, one, zero. ignition and liftoff! >> the crew is made up of three americans and one italian astronaut. they will dock with the space station later tonight. and the mission is expected to last around six months. how about that? those are your headlines, ainsley, over to you. >> ainsley: good deal. thank you so much. some key progressives on twitter are seeing their follower count drop in the way of elon musk's deal to buy the social media

giant. meanwhile, conservatives reporting a dramatic surge including our next guess that added 10,000 in one day. clay travis is here with more. good morning to you. >> good morning, how are you? >> ainsley: i'm doing great. thank you. i saw you were thanking elon musk for this. you saw a big gain in your followers. why is that? >> it's a great question, ainsley. i don't know the answer. i'm up almost 20,000 twitter followers in basically the 48 hours since it was announced that elon musk was going to be buying twitter. there are a lot of different theories you could toss out there. this is abnormal, i haven't seen any follower counts surge like this in years. and really haven't ever seen anything like this. one theory, obviously, is that a lot more conservative people as elon musk has bought twitter have been coming on to the site. but the difference is it's not just conservatives gaining. it's left wingers losing which makes me wonder whether twitter

is starting to pull back on some of the guard rails that they put up which were rigged in favor of left wingers and they're doing that because they're worried that elon musk may be coming in and starting to publicize potentially some of the algorithms, some of the behind-the-scenes data manipulation that was going on inside of twitter. so i'd lean more towards that. i think we're just seeing some of these restrictions taken off and the result is you're seeing what conservatives have argued for a long time. that this was a rigged social media game designed to favor the left wingers and with elon musk coming in, those prescriptions are returning to more of a normalcy. >> ainsley: and you aren't alone. desantis saw a big uptick, too. a.o.c. actually lost followers. speaking of the squad, bernie sanders will be at the white house today speaking later this morning. he's joining the squad there because they have this big brass band because they're all excited that student debt has now been

paused. they're hoping it's canceled completely. how are we going to pay for this? >> well, everybody is going to end up having to pay for it. this is important because when they say oh, joe biden should cancel student debt. he's not cancelling student debt. he's just changing where the obligation to repay the student debt lies. instead of putting it on the individual who took out the debt to go to school, what would happen is around $1.6 trillion would be added to our already massive national debt, and you and me and everybody out there watching this who had nothing at all to do with taking out this student loan debt would now be on the hook for it. i don't believe, ainsley, that it's constitutional but we've seen of late that joe biden has been willing to do whatever is necessary, whether it's the osha vaccine mandate, whether it's the c.d.c. moratorium on evictions. both of which have been struck down by the supreme court. i think there's a strong likelihood that the president of the united states does not have the ability to wipe out this

$1.6 trillion in debt unilaterally without congressional approval. and i suspect this would end up in the courts and ultimately be ruled to be illegal under our constitution. but maybe joe biden thinks he can get some benefits because it would take months for that to occur and in the meantime, the midterms might already have arrived. >> ainsley: you're right. timing is interesting. clay, thanks so much! >> appreciate it, ainsley. have a great morning. >> ainsley: always good to see you. you can check on what's clicking on outclick. douglas murray is here and shares who he believes is the greatest enemy to western civilization coming up next. from prom dresses to workouts and new adventures you hope the more you give the less they'll miss. but even if your teen was vaccinated against meningitis in the past they may be missing vaccination for meningitis b.

>> steve: well, russia is touting its nuclear arsenal while the f.b.i. director warns china is the greatest

counterintelligence threat to the u.s. but could we actually be america's worst enemy. in the new book "the war on the west" out today, douglas murray chronicles how the anti-west movement has moved from the fringes of academia into the mainstream and joins us now. douglas, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> steve: like so many other things, it started with teachers. >> yes. i say at the beginning of the war on the west, you know, the whole problem is that people began to talk of equality in america. but they didn't seem to care about equal rights. you know, they spoke about justice but they clearly meant revenge. and it's only in recent years when the fruits of this movement have come into plain sight that scale has become clear, that there was an assault going on against everything to do with the western world, its past, present and future. >> steve: that is a quote from the war on the west. it sets up the actual war. >> yes.

the war begins in the classroom. war begins with the war to tell american students that their history is terrible, that their past is terrible, that if they're white, they're born into guilt which is something we would tolerate being said of no other group of people. i mean, it's a horrible racist thing. if anyone said to black kids, you know, you're born evil because of things that were done centuries before your birth, we'd say what a horrible racist thing to do. it's racist when it's done against white kids, too. as we know from this city, new york and from cities across the country, schools are teaching exactly that to white students. and it goes on from there. it goes on not just from saying that you're wicked because you're white, because you're wicked because you're american. because there's nobody good in american history. you know, one of the chapters is about history. about the way in which everything in western history has been torn down. everybody is guilty of living in the past, you know. we useed to have great heroes in the west and for some of us, they still are. but my own country of birth, great britain, winston churchill deemed a villain. in this country, the founding

fathers. there was a time you could have said nobody knew, very few people. only thing that school children know is that the founding fathers owned slaves. so much so down the road in new york city council chamber, they wheeled thomas jefferson out in a crate in the back door because one of the council members says thomas jefferson no longer represents our values. so everybody in the american past, all of our heroes, lincoln, all of them have been torn down literally metaphorically, actually. >> steve: that is the war on the west. perfectly set up. in addition to a book available everywhere today, it's also a fox nation special. here's a clip on the desire to destroy, watch this. >> dead white male is now the worst thing to be, everybody focuses on the whiteness being attacked and the maleness. there seems to be an attack on people for being dead. >> patriot for a civilization deemed too white and too male,

and the desire to destroy is a profound one. if you can't build something up, you can sure as hell tear it down and that's what's going on. >> absolutely. >> steve: that's what's going on. but the war on the west, there is now pushback. >> yes, there is, thank goodness. and it comes from lots of different directions, but my hope it's a ground up movement. we see that with parents across america. but here's the thing. if you said to a minority group, you're so horrible. there's nothing good about you. nothing good about your past. i don't think you could persuade a minority group about that. this is an attempt to persuade the american majority of that. i think in the long term, as long as people are armed with the facts which is what i try to give them. as long as they're armed with the facts and the arguments to push back, there is no way that this anti-western, anti-american movement can win. >> steve: all right. check it out. brand new book, came out yesterday. "the war on the west" is out now and be sure to check the special out streaming exclusively on fox news. thank you very much. good luck to you. >> thank you. >> steve: all right.

janis dean is out on the streets of new york city where it's still cold. >> it's cold but the sun is out and lots of construction happening as well, steve. let's take a look at the temperatures because it's cold across the northern tier of the country. i'm not going to lie. we've got freeze advisories in place. look at fargo, 28, 35 in chicago. 50 here in new york. the wind makes it feel colder than that. that's why i'm still wearing a winter coat. lucky i didn't put those away. there's the forecast today. we had an area of low pressure off the coast bringing some rain and even snow to parts of the northeast. and then we have a new system that's going to dive in from the pacific and move into the central u.s. in the next couple of days. that's going to give us rounds of heavy rain and severe storms, ok, starting thursday and friday. we will continue to keep you up to date. yeah, there's going to be snow as well across the rockies. ain't over yet, steve! back to you. >> steve: yeah, it's but it still kind of feels like winter

>> pete: a new foundation is on a mission to preserve history and promote patriotism. today, the group paying tribute to the first american to plant a u.s. flag on foreign soil. known as the hero of derna. lieutenant presley o'bannon will be honored in his hometown as the house he built is being dedicated by the o'bannon house preservation foundation. fox news contributor joey jones

live in kentucky with the foundation's president. retired marine general, major general jerry humble and actor tom berringer who will be participating in the ceremony. joey? >> let me tell you, if you sing the marine corps hymn in front of any marine, they'll go to attention immediately. there's a line there from the halls of montezuma to the shores of tripoli. tripoli being the coast where some pirates used to haunt our merchant ships until presley o'bannon, a marine lieutenant conquered derna and made the first place that the american flag was planted abroad and really established us and our first step of becoming a leading superpower in the world. so president o'bannon, marine lieutenant, remember that name, we're in his historic home in a small town called russellville, kentucky, all of it thanks to marine general humble here. tell us a little bit about this project and what you're looking at moving forward. >> first, this is a project that's been supported by all my

friends in the music industry, the community, and my acting friends here, master gunner sergeant but anyway, what we're doing is to try to promote patriotism in american history. it will eventually become o'bannon leadership institute for people to send their executives to and so forth. i've been doing that for about 12 years now and so forth. but it's also to bring a venue of people who want to come and former marines or others who want to study history in this little community is just oozing in history. >> earlier, we had a segment on before the break talking about educating patriotism in our kids and i know that's a big, important thing to you. >> it is. >> tom, you need no introduction. world class actor, some of your roles have kind of gotten close to marine corps history in some of the wars in our history. what makes you want to be involved in this? what is your role here?

>> well, this is very serendipitous but i went to a charity thing in naples and the whole panel was fox news. >> bret baier shared it. >> yes. and i met kilmeade after that whole thing. they did their shtick so i met him and i said i enjoyed your history book. i don't know how many history books he's done. >> he's got several. >> i've read at least two. one was the andrew jackson and the battle of new orleans which was great. and the other one was the barberie coast war which is what this is about. and we got talking about that. and i said, you know, i actually have an old script, yeah, i don't know how old like 20 years maybe, where a friend of mine and i wanted to produce it. and it's still in my -- in a footlocker inside of my storage unit down there.

i got to find it. and he said well, i'm connected with a guy in l.a. to produce it. and i said who's that? he says leslie grife. he goes yeah, you know him? yeah, he did hatfields and mccoys. he's great. he's like richard dreyfuss, he's like that. he's so persistent. 30 years it took leslie to do hatfields and mccoys so i think you got a good one there with him. >> get connected with fox nation, maybe put something together and won't take 30 years to make it happen. >> i hope not. i won't be around. >> pete, i know you're an army vet. probably got a couple of questions for the general and tom here? >> pete: yeah, general, you bought the house and your hope is to connect former, you know, previous marines and people who love this country to the reality of what it means to serve today as well. this is a living history. >> it is.

but it's for all citizens of this great country who want to come to a venue. this is such a historic town and this is such a historic place because of the connectivity to presley o'bannon and some of the others. >> pete: we got to leave it right there. it is o'bannonhouse.org. thank you for bringing it to us this morning. ♪ ♪ ♪
